Normal Institute.

The annual session If the Ford county
Normal institute will be held at Dodge
City beginning on Monday, June 7!h
All the teachers Of Ford county, and
all those who expect 10 become teachers
are cordially invited to be present on the
very first day OF the session. Do not
wait for week before you enroll. The
organization is fairly completed now,
and the work will be as ffective at the
beginning as on the last day.
The daily program will be found in
the back part of the Institute announce
ment, which will be sent out about May
18th.
As large part of our teaching force
is recruited from the ranks of the be-
ginner or those who have had but little
experience, an effort will be made to
direct the instruction so as to be tie
greatest good to this class of teachers.
We would suggest that the teacher limit
himself to five subjects, that the number
of classes NAV be reduced to the mini
mum thus affordng a longer period fo'
recitation and greater efficiency In In.
struction.
In a circular letter from the state
superintendent he has intimated that the
examination In Physics will be even
more elementary than i. has been in The
past. This has been done in the hope
that more emphasis may be placed upon
the important subject of English Liter
ature. A teacher who lacks a speaking
acquaintance with the best writers OF ouI
lang uage can not be real success in the
scnoolroom. fairly extensive know
ledge OF literature Is necessary to teach
reading with any degree Of success
Therefore we think 1t would be better Il
give little less att ntion to bare and

on the problems OF life, its beauties ant
possibilities, and on human nature anc

COURTESY IN THE STREET CAR.
Something Of Reversal Of the
General Rule. g

"Do you suppose that's an effect Of
the recent agitation Of women's
rights?" asked the man, indicating
with nod Of his head sccne that
was taking place in an IT, car In the
homeward rush. His companion
looked and saw a slender, handsomely
gowned woman offer her seat to a
young man who, In the crush, was
standing in front of her and was car
rying an armful Of large, heavy
books.
The young man looked rather en-
barrassed and bravely declined with
a pleasant little smile, which was all
he could accomplish in lieu Of rails
Ing his hat with his heavily incum-
bered hands.
"Well, then,' said the lady COM
posedly, resuming her scat, let me
hold the books in my lap"
"That would certainly be kind, II
you don't mind" consented the youth,
relinquishing his load; and when the
lady reached her station, leaving her
seat to him, he thanked her for her
thoughtfulness with fully as much
gratitude as a woman would have
expressed for a similar courtesy from
a man-perhaps with more apprecia-
ton, the experience being more
rare.

Two Marks of Beauty.

Beautiful eyes and brows are, In
one sense, a special gift Of nature.
Many plain woman is redeemed by
fine eyes; many a pretty face spoiled
by red-rimmed, dull, lusterless eyes.
But at the same time great deal may
be done to make even unpromising
eyes clear and attractive, to render
eyes which are only passably pretty
really beautiful.
Attention to the general health will
go far to make the eyes clear and
bright and prevent fatigue, even when
they are called upon to do a great
deal of work.
Have you never noticed the dull
eyes of person afflicted with dyspep
sia, the yellow tinge of overfeeding
and neglected liver; the lusterless
eyes of the woman who sleeps in ar
ill-ventilated room, who takes no ex
ercise and spends all her spare time
reading novels over the fire?

AT HARVARD FIFTY YEARS AGO
N, 8. Shaler Tells Us of the Life OF
Senior.

He was a senior in Harvard college
and had a well-deserved name for
scholarship in the classics, as well as
for a miscellaneous assortment OF tai
ents and knowledge. He was reputed
to be the best player of the game OF
checkers in the country; knew the
political history of the United States
amazingly well; was learned In pugil-
ism, having at his tongues end the
story of all the prize-fights Of recent
times; withal he was the merriest lit
tie man | ever seen. well recall my
first morning with him, when, after 60
ing over the best of what could and
could not do, he asked me If l could

edge of that ignoble art At that time
l had not learned Of his interest in 1t,
and thought that would be lowered
in his eyes by the confession. To my

business, he insisted on my having a
bout with him at once.-N. s. Shaler's

At the Paris exhibitions every artist,

"A painting like The Bather' always

To Save Horses from Fire.

When horse is released from his
stall during fire, says a technical
paper, he will not leave the stable, for
the stall is the only place in which he
believes himself to be safe. A new
patented device, which consists of a
pipe running through the stall to the
outside Of the stable, is designed to
cure this. In case of fire a turn OF q
handle brings hose nozzle into posi-.
tion and stream Of water pours over
the head and shoulders of the horse
which drives him into the gangway
from which 1t becomes comparative
ly easy matter to lead him into the
street.

A sportsman of great imaginative
gifts and fond of telling bis exploits,
related that at one shot he had brought
down two partridges and hare. His

only hit one partridge the bird in fall

and brought that to earth entangled

YOU'VE been reading a lot
lately about wear and wear
ability Of paint; and there are
paints that do have these
qualities.
But there's one paint that has more than these,
for it possesses the peculiar quality Of sustained
wear, namely the Mound City Horse Shoe
Brand; the paint with the life in it; the paint
that's made Of honest Lead and honest Zinc and
Pure Aged Linseed Oil; the paint that wears
and looks better than Lead.
Horse Shoe Brand Paint, all colors, always
gives clear, beautiful, living look to the fin
ished Job. Never bleary, or muddy, or gummy;
none of that dead dull appearance.
Then, too, it pays to to store where they are
able to advise you and help you to get the most good
out of paint Ifyou read this ad you will know where
such store is right in this very town.
Besides the House Paint, there's Horse Shoe Paint
for every purpose Floor Paint, Barn and Roof Paint,
Buggy Paint To-Wauk- On Stain, Screen Paint, Wagon
and Implement Paint, what you want for whateveryou
want to put it on.
Let's tell you about Of these Horse Shoe Brand Speciaes
Floor PAINT Horse Shoe Brand Floor Paint the best floor paint
we know anything about for the that the you wash
the harder GETS like Wears like and yet keeps
alive all the vivid color that had when first applied
So when you're ready for paint that paint and does what good
paint ought here's the place and here's the store that sells it,
You can the paint and trust the store two things
