Some Evening Rsveries,.

your closets is a good rule for
everybody to obey. A sorrow or
misfortune may bring to you the
sympathy, not only Of your friends,
but Of Indifferent acquaintances,
but there are limits beyond which
this will not be carried. People
soon tire Of a grief in which they
are not personally concerned, The
sunshine is so much more agreeable
than the shadow that it will be
sought for, and they expect you
will help to make it as soon as what
they assume to be reasonable time
has passed by. If you do not, if
you are constantly opening the
doors of your skeleton closet and
weeping over what it contains, you
need not be surprised that you are
Stunned by those upon whose affec-
tion you have most counted. You
must smile though your heart be
well nigh broken, and it is right
that you should do SO. The world,
albeit it is not a bad world, is still
full enough of care and of burdens
for each human being to carry for
himself so as to make the carrying
of those of others for a protracted
period unbearable.
There is a tendency on the part
of some mothers to do so much for
their children that virtually a pre-
MUM is placed upon selfshness.
The child whose every wish is an
ticipated, and for whom nothing is
too good, is apt to grow up an ex-
ceedingly unpleasantp tperson, unless,
indeed, there be an extraordinary
amount of natural good in him to
counterbalance the undue indul-
gence. Shielding children from
every chilling breath of life's air
begets a love of ease and selfish en-
joyment which becomes fixed when
childhood is past. A mother, for
instance, had denied herself every
comfort. She had risen early and
had taken rest late in order that
her daughters might have a per-
fectly happy girlhood." " No duty
was exacted of them. If they were
minded to help, they might do so;
if not, there was no one to ease the
weary mother of her burden. Small
wonder is it that after these girls
grew up their sole thought was for
self. The mother was ignored by,
them; disrespectfully spoken of as
"old-fashioned" and without
taste. ~ Indeed, she was only re-
regarded as one who could brew
and bake, and was even ordered
no other word can be used-to wait |
upon them while they lolled in their
easy chairs. Never having been
taught to spend and be spent in
doing good, these young women
were not the helpers of those in |
need, and never carried sunshine
into darkened homes. Even their
best friends tired of them, and their
lives were unlovely and discomfort
ed. There can be no happiness in
life unless the straight line of duty,
which leads to beauty's curve, -
be conscientiously followed. Let
every mother inculcate in her chill
dren's minds that it is more blessed
to give than to receive.

LACLEDE's PUBLIC SCHOOLS BEST

day, September 6. The school year
beginning then should be the best
in the history of our schools. An
other teacher has been added to
high school faculty; new sidewalks,
new toilets and many other inn
provements have been made in the
building and on the grounds; one
! hundred and fifty volumes of refer
ence and supplementary books have
been ordered for the library, for
use both in the grades and in the
high school; many new lantern
slides have been ordered, SO that
we will now have over five hundred
slides to illustrate history Literature
and science; all apparatus necessary
for the successful teaching of agri-
culture will be supplied; music will
be taught in the grades and in the
high school, and all else within the
power of board and teachers to
make the years work a success is
being done.
Our course of study in the high
school is equal to that offered by
any high school in this part of the
state. Not only do we offer the
regular four year Latin and English
courses, but several elective courses
have been added. These subjects
agriculture, business arithmetic,
bookkeeping and German-are of
the most practical kind and should
be studied by every boy and girl.
In the first three subjects the same
work will be done as in the state
normal school at Kirksville.
In the freshman year thorough
review of English grammar will be
given, followed in the next three
years by further reviews and thor
ough and extensive work in compo-
sition. We recognize that our high
schools are sending forth every
year many graduates who are weak
in the common branches, especially
in arithmetic and grammar, and we
are anxious that henceforth that
may not be said of us. To this
end, also, spelling at least once
each week will be given in the high
school.
A class in singing will be con-
Quoted twice each week for all stu
dents of the high school who desire
the work. This class should be
very popular.
We are not given to boasting,
but we know that our teachers are
as competent as will be found in
any high school in the county. All
Of our high school teachers have
had special normal and college
training in the subjects they teach,
and their methods of instruction
are the latest and best. With al
small enrolment in our high school
and three able teachers, we believe
that we can not only give as efic-
lent class instruction, but that more
individual attention can be given
here than in any other high school
in the county, and this means
much, especially to the new student
Just entering high school. /
We are expecting that our high
school will be accredited by the
university and colleges for at least
fifteen units. In letter, Mr.. Elif,
university high school examiner,
says he sees no reason why we
cannot be accredited, and promises
TO visit us early in the year and in
spect our work.
We had a number of non resident
students last year, in both high
school and grades. but we expect a
larger number this year IF you

In fact. there were more drunks to

due to the free beer that Tom Knots

MEETS WITH
A SERIOUS
ACCIDENT
(snecial to TIE TrMEs.l

East Chicago, Oct. 13.-Yesterday
afternoon about 3 o'clock Mike Mich, a
new employe of the Republic mill, met
with an accident which necessitated the
amphtating of his left foot just above
the ankle. A gang of laborers, of
which Mich was one, were conveying a
load of finished iron from one of the
finishing mills to ne shipping room
on a truck and unloading the iron
where it belonged. The men were green
at the business and instead OF I'M
loading the iron from both sides of the
truck they took It all from one side,
and when they started again the truck
was over balanced and tipped over
crushing Mich's foot and ankle so Sc
verely that it was necessary to cut II
off above the ankle.

cause an irreparable disruption when
the Knots ticket is selected. The fight
between Winkler. Dearbeyne and Harry

that great trouble is expected when it
comes to the selection of this man and
strong-arm methods will probably be
brought into play.
