SCHOOL DAYS.

School work has been resumed
by teachers and children and
those who are thoughtful of the fu-
ture will honor the one and en-
courage the other. The men and
women engaged in this educational
work are pursuing a very noble vo-
cation; they r performing a very
definite service that demands a un-
iversal recognition and should be
better requited than it is. Teachers
are not as well paid as they ought
to be, when the character of their
work and the responsibility involv-
ed is considered. Formerly, teach
ing school was an avocation; a means
to some other end; in recent years
it has come to be a vocation, and
will ultimately, take its place among
the professions, commanding a COM
pensation consistent with its digni-
ty and importance, says the Merid-
ian Star.
Before we quit we want to say a
word for the boys and girls sum-
moned to work this session. They
are children, and not grown-ups;
and cannot be translated, all at
once, from the freedom of vacation
to the routine of the school room
without some sort of friction. In a
little while they will come to time
and be the better for the teachers
patience. Another thing: Don't
be too hard on the novitiates. Lit
tie children entering school for the
first time, away from the support
and sympathy of father and mother,
undergo a peculiar ordeal that ought
to command the sympathy of the
teacher, if she is a good woman in
the best sense. That suggestion is
inspired by the experience of | little
five-year-old, whocame home, shock
ed and amazed because the teacher
had hit him. That was wrong on
the part of that teacher, and the
little fellow never went back to the
school taught by her. His educa.
tional adventure was resumed else
where under more wholesome aus
pieces. 1t is bad for parents to strike
little children; it is worse for school
teachers. It is a quick way to &C
complish results; and for that rea,
son, perhaps, it is popular; but it is
a bad way, none the less. DOM
brutalize the child mind and expect
it to be responsive to the nobler ap.
+! meals.

AMERICAS GREAT TRAVELLER.

President Taft, who recently
made his start on his public journey
which will extend, as at present ar
ranged, over 1879 miles, reach in
to no fewer than thirty-two states
and territories, already is the great
est traveller who has held his dis
tinguished position. = Deserts and
seas remote he has seen. He has
girdled the globe, looked upon the
work at the Isthmus of Panama,
made the acquaintance of our Pa
cifc island possessions, visited and
become acquainted in the east and
west and south sections of his coun-
try, but still is indefatigable. He
is Americas greatest traveller, says
the Jackson News.
After his appearances in the far
northwest and upon the Mexican
border there will remain few por-
tons of his own country which will
not have been traversed by Mr.. Taft.
Personal vanity and political ex-
perience have no part in the pres
ident's wish to make these tremen-
dous journeys. All the people like
to look upon, to listen to, the chief
executive. Mr.. Taft is man of un-
common mental as well as physical
mold. His capacity for work, has
ability to endure, are marvellous.
He can draw a state paper or make
an after dinner talk with equal fe.
licity and facility. We shall be
glad to greet him in Jackson, as
will Chicago and Seattle and Ell
Paso.
The most spectacular and the
most restful and refreshing feature
of the presidents big trip will be
that when for a 1165 miles journey
down the Mississippi his will be the
central figure in a great naval pa,
geant.
May no i'll befall our president on
his long journey.

A tender-hearted Mississippian
now comes up with an idea to take
the striped clothes off the convicts
because they are humiliating to the
wearer. We believe if any change
be made they should have more
stripes put on them; should have

crime that Andod them there. Such

INNS.

It is strange 70 note how some
people treat their obligations. You
may extend the favor of credit to
some folks, and when you go to col
lect the bill, they act as though
they are under no obligations to you
whatever, and act as though they
we're doing you a favor if they pay
you. And if they do not put you
off without paying you the account,
they will often pay the bill reluc-
family, and sometimes they will ac-
tually be offended because you sent
or presented a statement. People
who hate to give up money so much
that they cannot pay their Just dues
in a cheerful manner should not
have the privilege of credit. Speak
ing on this subject the Hannibal
Journal gives some truthful point
ers in the following:
"What a difference there is in the
way some people pay bills. Some
do so cheerfully, like they were
pleased to liquidate their obliga-
tions, while others act like they
were beng robbed Of the amount OF
the account. To pay cheerfully, il
the accounts are correct, and to OBJ
ject amiably, if there are corrections
to be made, is a mark of a good
business man. It indicates that he
knows his business thoroughly and
keeps in close touch with all of its
details. The fact is, the best and
most successful business men never
lose their temper, except on most
aggravated occasions, and even then
it is a mistake, as nothing is accom-
plished thereby. If you want 9th
ers to pay your bills graciously, sci
the example by paying your own in
the manner you would be treated

Hyomei is a wonderful ~antiseptic, SO
powerful that it promptly destroys
germ life, yet it's action On the mucous
membra ne is extremely soothing and
healing. 1t relieves catarrh in five
minutes; it cures in a few weeks or
money back.
1t is made chiefly Of eucalyptus and
eucalyptol taken from the eucalyptus
forests Of inland Australia. The med
ica1 profession knows that eucalyptus
is an absolutely certain germ destroy
or and with the active principles of Gu
calyptus as a base Hyomei is made more
efficient, pleasant and quick-acting by
the addition OF thymol, an antiseptic
and di%sinfectant largely employed in
the Historian SYSTEM. Guaiacol and
other important medicinal agents are
also included in the Hyomei formula,
which, without doubt, is the greatest
destroyer of catarrh germs the world
has ever known.
Hyomei is a powerful, penetrating an
tiseptic that is pleasant to use. 1t does
not contain a particle of cocaine,
opium or and habit-formine or injurious
drug.
No dosing the stomach when you use
Hyomei. Just breathe it in through the
small inhaler that comes with each out
fit. Sold by leading druggists every
