FOnrtn Grade.
The fourth grade is medium be-
tween the primary and middle forms.
in reality it is review of the primary
knowledge with enough advancement
preparatory to the grade or work fol-
lowing 1t acts as hinge to door
grade the work of the primary grades
is thoroughly reviewed for the purpose
of fixing the previous knowledge and
new knowledge added to fit the pupil
for the following grade.
Very often it is at this period we
find pupils in a sort of doubt, whether
to stop or go forward.
In this period the pupil is developing
his reasoning faculties, classifying and
formulating knowledge.
The fourth grade, through drills. re-
views, material brought to the school
room, pictures. have done work on the
following: oral storytelling; stories
from pictures; further work in capital
ization and punctuation; possessive
and plural forms Of the common nouns;
stories from nature; plural forms of
common verbs; phonic drills; diacriti-
cal marking; use of dictionary; read
ing to give thought; stating substance
of reading lesson; reading for express
ion; notation and Enumeration to third
PERIOD multiplication tables complet-
ed; processes in division; home geog-
tions from Readers memorized; spell
ing of more difficult and quite common
words from daily lessons; historical
stories, events and Geographic of some
famous men.
Pupils are put more to a test of self
help in this grade as much as possible.
Some work has been done in keeping
note books, outlining some lessons in
geography, putting in drawings and
pictures bearing on lessons. Lessons
in history have been outlined some,
also.
Various games and forms of drills
are carried out in connection with
Arithmetic One which proved of int

ton tables. The class was evenly di-
vided, captains appointed for each side;
each day competitor from their res

month the report was made of the
pupil having the greatest number of

Weather reports have been kept,
calendars made, reporting temperature
in the morning and at noon, kinds of
weather, snow, sunshine and SO on.

Must Walk to Polls.

No more free rides to- the polls on
election day-that is, if the bill intro
duced in the senate by Senator I. A.
Milton of Wyandotte becomes a law.
Offering a man ride to the voting
place would be deemed as great crime
as offering person a cigar or a drink
Of whisky at either the primaries or
on election day.
1t would make illegal for any per-
son or organization to hire, lend or
pay or promise to pay any money or
give anything of value to a man to
get him to register. To furnish or
supply any vehicle to take any voter
to register or to the polling place
would also be deemed a misdemeanor.
The maximum penalty is fine of $500
and year in Jail.
The bill goes even further and when
a candidate is nominated or elected,
and it is later proven that his sup
porters were hauled to the voting
place in hired rigs, his election and
nomination shall be declared null and
void.

fee is fixed at So. Drivrs must also
register and pay a fee of 81. The
speed of autos is limitd to twenty

New Bill More Acceptable.

And now a brand new anti-lobby
sure, with the enacting clause con-
spicuously displayed in capital letters
at the side of the bill, has been drafted
by the special joint committee of the
house and senate and introduced in
marked changes in respect to the def
milton of lobbyist, and it is believed
it will be considered less drastic and
more acceptable to the entire member
ship of the senate.
AS soon as the senate threw out the
bill, which was deficient in an enact
ing clause, the members of the special
joint committee got together and
worked diligently to prepare new
measure that would meet with more
unanimous approval on the part of
the senators. In the new bill defini-
ton of a lobbyist is given in section
as follows:
Any person who shall be employed,
appointed or retained by any person,
firm, association, organization or cor
poration, having any interest in any
measure or measures pending before,
or TO be introduced in either branch
of the legislature of the state, who
shall attempt at any time to in any
manner influence the act or vote of
any member of the state legislature
during the session of such legislature
upon or concerning such measure or
and such act or acts shall constitute
lobbying; provided that nothing in
this act shall be construed to prohibit
any person, firm, corporation, organi-
cation or association so interested
from attempting TO influence by ar
guments, briefs or written state
ments, the legislature or any member
thereof.
This section, it will be observed, is
very different from section ! of the
original bill, which specified that
"any person who is directly or indi-
rectly pecuniary interested in any
measure" shall be deemed lobbyist.
Also the former measure prohibited
any person so interested in legisla-
ton from comforting with a member
of the legislature during his term
of office" while the new bill puts on
the prohibition only during sessions
of the legislature"

awakening he beheld a beautiful girl at a
small lake. A birthmark, resembling
dragons claw, on Roy's forehead had a
mysterious effect upon the girl who said
her name was Ysonde. Suddenly she dis
appeared. Fleeing in terror Roy beheld
a horrible Chinese Visage peering at him
from the woods. Barris and Pierpont re-
turned. Barrs exhibited a reptile, like
that owned by Godfrey. A ball of sup
posed gold he held, suddenly became

Nbu of the Kuen-Yuin; it's Chinese
mythology, but it is believed that
Yue-Laou has returned to rule the

THE conversation" interrupted
Pierpont, "smacks of peacock feath-
ers and yellow-jackets. The chicken
pox has left its card on Roy, and
Barris is guying us. Come on, you
fellows, and make your call on the
dream-lady. Barris, hear galloping;
here come your men,"
Two mud-splashed riders clattered
up to the porch and dismounted at a
motion from Barris. / noticed that
both of them carried repeating rifles
and heavy Colts revolvers.
The followed Barris, deferentially,
into the dining-room, and presently
we heard the tinkle of plates and bot
ties and the low hum of Barris' must
cal voice.
Half an hour later they came out
again, saluted Pierpont and me, and
galloped away in the direction of
the Canadian frontier. Ten minutes
passed, and, as Barris did not appear,
we rose and went into the house, to
find him. He was sitting silently be-
fore the table, watching the small
golden globe, now glowing with scar
let and orange fire, brilliant az live
coal Hewlett, mouth ajar and eyes
starting from the sockets, stood petri-
fed behind him.
Are you coming?" asked Pierpont, a
little startled. Barris did not answer.
The globe slowly turned to pale gold
again-but the face that Barris raised
to ours was white as sheet. Then
he stood up aud smiled, with an effort
which was painful to us all.
Give me a pencil and a bit of pa
per-" he said.
Hewlett brought it. Barris went to
the window and wrote rapidly. He
folded the paper, placed it in the top
drawer of his desk, locked the drawer,
handed me the key, and motioned us
to precede him.
When again we stood under the
naples, he turned to me with an Inn
penetrable expression. You will
know when to use the key" he said
Come, Pierpont, we must try to find
Roy's fountain"

LEAD IN WATER TURBINE WORK.
Swiss the First to Develop Long Dis
tance Electrical Power.

Switzerland produces no coal and no
iron. In the manufacture of ma
chinery the raw material is nearly all
brought from Germany, which also
supplies the greater part of the coal.
The tools used in the machine shops.
however, are for the most part, made
in America.
The country has an enormous
amount of water power however, and
in its development the Swiss have
gained a prominence in the water tur-
bine work throughout the world, one
firm being called upon to design the
original water turbine which was in
stalled at Niagara falls. Hand-in-
hand with this turbine development,
practically the superlatiye in electrical
engineering has been attained, and to-
day Swiss machinery is being sent to
all parts of the world.
The Swiss are able to maintain their
position only through their superior
technical knowledge. for which they
are indebted to their engineering in
stitutions. In their vast experience
they lay claim to being the first to de-
velop the transmission of electrical
power over long distances, and 1t is
believed that before long all the Swiss
state railways will be working under
electrical power.

Cuts Down the Pie Order.

Representative Cunningham of Cow
ley has introduced a bill, which, if it
becomes a law, will prevent any SQUAD
bles in the house or senate in the fu-
ture in regard to employees. 1t fixes
the number each branch of the legis-
lature shall employ at about fifty. No
favoritism is shown in that respect,
1t aHso prescribes the qualifications OF
the employees. All the members of the
clerical force, both in the house prop
err and committee clerks, shall be
stenographers. 1t provides that the
janitors shall be selected by the en-
ecutive council in advance of the leg
islative session.

klnderqartens in Public Schools.

A bill introduced in the house by
Representative Louis Banker of Rus
sell county, provides for the establish
ment of kindergartens in the public
schools, the expense Icing charged up
to the general school funds. He asks
that his work be made a part of the
regular school work. At the present
time it costs parents from SO to So
month to send their children to kind
ergartens and there appears to be
general demand for consolidating
these little schools with the public
schools of the state and operating
them free of expense to the parents,
outside of the regular taxes.

1t appears that the ways and means
committee of both the house and SEN

trip. This is a precedent, but 1t is a
good one if tie committee sticks to it.
The two committees went to Lawrence
to see about the needs of the State uni
versity and the members paid their ex-
penses. They believe that if they can
afford to do so members of other COM
mittees can afford to do likewise.

EXTRAORDINARY INCREASE IN
FARM LANDS,
"SOUTHERN ALBERTA is
MIGHTY GOOD COUNTRY"

No stronger or better evidence can
be given of the merits of country
than that which comes from the testi-
mony of the settler who has deter
mined to succeed This is why we
reproduce the following letter, which
speaks for itself. These people were in
duced to go to Western Canada
through the solicitation of Canadian
Government agent, who secured for
them the low railway rates.
"Carmangay, Alta, Canada, 12-15'0S.
Mr.. c. j. Broughton, Canadian Gov
eminent Agency, 1876 Adams Street,
Chicago: We had audacity enough to
tackle the proposition of buying four
sections of land in Southern Alberta,
thirty miles east of Clairsholm and
heading up on the Little Bow, and our
two boys each got homestead adj
joining We fenced three sections and
the two homesteads and built house,
barn, corrals and granary, and have
since enlarged some of these build
ings. We have broken 200 acres of
land, which has been sowed to oats
and wheat. During the severe winter
of two years ago the winter wheat
killed out somewhat, and our crop
yielded only ten bushels to the acre,
but the spring wheat went "a bushels
to the acre. In this country we must
be prepared for storms and cold, at
times 20 to 80 below zero, yet on the
whole the winters are mild; and while
II iG fair
to say that the average farmer can
depend on having yield in average
years of from 20 to rs bushels to the
acre for spring wheat; and winter
wheat in our immediate neighborhood
yields from rs to 80 bushels to the
acre on the average.
We have now quite a bunch of
horses, over so in all, about $50 sheep,
after having sold 140 for mutton this
fall. We have 20 head of pure bred
registered Shropshire, which are
worth $40 each. The average price
received for mutton sheep was $500
and little over Pork brings and
cents a pound. We have about 30
head of cattle on our ranch now,
and last winter they picked their en-
tire living from our pasture, running
to the straw stacks for shelter at night.
THE increase of land values has
been extraordinary. Our land four
years ago cost us a little less than
$500 an acre. We have sold one sec
ton for $500, but we would not sell
any more for less than $500 per acre,
as we expect the railroad within four
miles of our ranch within the next IL
months. Southern Alberta of West
ern Canada is mighty good country
for any man or woman who loves outdoor
life, and who wants to get good re-
turns for their labor and investment.
I'VE have been pleased with our
treatment from the Canadian Govern
ment, and can heartily commend South
ern Alberta as a splendid country in
which to locate.
yours very truly,
