HOW THEY REFORMED.

Fust time in a right smart SPELL
Liddy allus used t say
She'd quit scoldin' him some day.
But she never quite could git
Made up in her mind t quit!

Found place he rilly likes.
Abner moved about until
Nothin' seemed t fill tn bill!

Too much drouth OF too much dew.
But his movin' days is through!

that men and women of middle age
will remember it. every public school
house had yard, and so, too, had
every village and suburban home. In
the schoolyard, before the sessions
opened and at recess, a bowling mob
played tag and prisoners base" and
"Pompey" and baseball and 'T spy"
In the home yard Tom and Billy and
Ed and Joe gathered frequently In the
afternoons to play stick knife" on
the grass and under the apple trees,
or make a freezerful Of Ice cream, to
which each one contributed something.
No one denies, of course, that there
are still yards of this old-fashioned
sort, especially in the smaller villages
and the country; but the increase in
population and the consequent ad-
vance In the price of land has created
near all the large cities suburbs in
which there Is no space for yards.
The same is true of the school
houses. The space round them has
grown smaller and smaller, and decor
ative shrubbery and restrictive rules
have combined to render almost i'm
possible the hearty, wholesome, bois-
ferrous play in which all participated.
There has, of course, been a great and
wholly admirable increase in the
number of public Fairgrounds, but 1t
Is difficult to make them quite take
the place Of the old-fashioned yard,
where play could be INDUCED in with
out leaving home, and in the case of
the schoolyard. was enjoyed by those
who had neither ability nor inclina-
tion to make the school team" The
homes and the schoolhouses which
still possess good yards have some
thing not lightly to be given up or
decorated too finely with plants and
flowers.

At the suggestion of the Peruvian
minister at Panama, the President has
ordered that the Pacific mouth of the
canal shall be named for Balboa, the
discoverer OF the Pacific. The Allan
tic entrance is already named for Co,

the ground that Peru profited more
than any other country by Balboa's
discovery.

Der OF years the Zalinski method OF
firing safely shells loaded with dyna-
mite, gun cotton or other high explos-
Ives has been under experiment by
the United States and other nations,
with the result that experts seem to
be Of the opinion that for coast de-
fense, at least, the gun may have per-
manent and great value.
Zalinski was born in. Prussian Po-
land, Dec. 13, 1S49. With his parents
he came to the United States when ne
was years old, and he grew up in
the village of Seneca Falls, N. Y.
When the Civil War broke out, though
only IA years old, he entered the army
as volunteer aid-de-camp to General
Nelson A. Miles. In February, 1855,
he was given a commission as second
lieutenant in the Seconu Ns- York
Heavy Artillery because of gallantry
displayed at the battle of Hatcher's
Run, Va. In September. 1865, he was
mustered out Of the volunteer service
and in the following February was
given an appointment in the regular
army as second lieutenant Of the
Fifth United States Artillery. A year
later he was promoted to be first lieu
tenant and in this rank he served
nearly twenty-one years, when he war
appointed captain.
Lieutenant Zalinski turned his time
to profitable experimenting. From
1880 to 1889 his time' was almost
wholly given to the development of
the pneumatic dynamite gun.
Other inventions included an in
trenching tool, ramrod bayonet, a
telescope sight for artillery and a
system of range and position finding
for sea coast and artillery firing. In
1894 he retired from the army and
ten years later was given honorary
promotion to the rank Of major.
The Zalipski dynamite gun is oper-
ated by compressed air. Dynamite, 1t
is well known, Is easily exploded by
sudden shock, and because of this
fact 1t cannot be fired from an ordi-
nary gun or cannon. The gun is about
fifty feet long and is fifteen inches in
terror diameter. Three such guns form
the equipment Of the dynamite cruiser
Vesuvius.
The Vesuvius received test Of her
effectiveness in actual warfare before
the harbor of Santiago, when Ger
vera's feet was bottled up by the
blockading vessels Of the United
States navy. Under cover Of darkness
one night she stole up to within 600
yards Of the Spanish fortifications
and discharged three shells loaded
with gun cotton. Two Of the three
shots exploded on the hill with ter
rihe, effect, but nothing further was

The most interesting and de-
lightful school opening which
the people Of Ash Flat ever wit
messed was that of last Monday
morning. The largest room in
our commodious school building
was crowded with our citizens
and patrons all eager to know
how much enthusiasm our new
faculty would arouse the first
day, and everyone seemed to be
highly pleased, after hearing
not only the teachers and some
citizens but three able ministers
speak. The enrolment the first
day was 119, and 27 of this num-
Der were boarding students.
Others, enough to make the en-
rollment larger than usual, will
be in this week. The interest
manifested by the citizens and
students gave great encourage
ment to the teachers. Tho great
eagerness and carcfulness with
which the students took hold Of
their work made the teachers feel
that with the cooperation OF the
patrons and friends of the school
they are insured success. We
nope that many others will take
advantage Of the opportunity
which can now be had at Ash
Flat. Our motto is, Not how
