she looked at him with her fearful

For a moment Jack stood looking
at her, too much ashamed and sur
prised to answer. He was over
whelmed with modification at his
double neglect und ill-treatment OF
her, and just as he was beginning to
love her, too.
But in a moment he realized her
would not have sacrificed her pleas
ure to help him. Besides, he could
not go away now, so miserable. He
decided to make one more effort, and
his voice trembled with pent-up emo
ton, as he said:
''This is the very first time l have

love will dominate all my future.

instantly, remembering that she was
in an office, he drew back and waited.

But she was watching, and she

The mistress, then, countenanced
these intruders and the throbbing

had observed that her actions re-

not here to seize and shake the
creature into limpness?
The mistress fingered, giving

A Trotting Bull.

Mile races between fast trotting
horses and a four-year-old bull are
the novelties planned for the Penn
sylvania fair circuit this summer
For the past three years a couple of
stockmen have been quietly train
ing bull and now have come out
with a challenge to trot the animal
against any $3.50 horse for a large
stake. They assert, and are backed
up by reputable witnesses, that the
bull has frequently trotted a half
mile in 1922 and they believe he can
do the mile in $3.50 or less in an
open race. The bull seems to be a
born trotter and the races are bound
to attract much attenticn.-Home-

New School Teachers.

At a special meeting of the school
board last week, Miss Nellie New
ton, of Newell, was elected to the
vacancy caused by the resignation
of Mrs. Alice Whitmell, and Miss
Lillian Wohlford to the first grade,
lately held by Miss Mae Huntoon.
The board adopted the following
resolution, which will commned it
self to the patrons of the schools as
an evidence of the determination of
the board to secure only the best of
teachers for the several places for
which applications are made:
In determining what salary shall
be paid any specific class of teach
ers, the board of directors will give
due consideration to the salary paid
teachers in the corresponding class
in other cities in our state, modified,
however, to such an extent in either
direction as local conditions, wheth-
er temporary or permanent, may
seem to justify any demand. But
in determining this question in indi-
vidual cases, special regard will be
had for superior qualifications as to
moral character, literary or scholas-
tic attainments, industry, and prac-
tical skill in teaching and discipline,
as in this way only can individual or
personal merit. unhampered by class
restrictions, and individual or per-
Sonal unfitness, upheld by class as
ISOLATION or connection, receive it's
just reward"

You don't have to go outside Fay

ground. A few days ago a farmer
living not far from West Union
presented himself at one of the local
banks with milk can in his hand,
and upon being admitted to the back
room turned out before the banker
the tidy sum of $4,000 in gold and
silver coin, besides some bills. AL
though the money had been washed
after being dug up, particles of sand
still adhered to the coins. 1t is said
that the owner of the money learned
that others had discovered it's hid

to put it in bank for safety's sake.

WHO MARCHES NEXT MEMOIR
IAL DAY

Speak up, brave comrades: let men
say
The Post turns out in force this
year.
Grants veterans, Shermans infant
ry,
Sheridan's tireless cavalry,
Farragut's sea-dogs without peer:
Tireless and fearless in the past,
Bear yourselves proudly to the last,
Though years fly fast and death
draws near.
Who'll bear the dear old Flag-the
bright
Tri-colored banner red and white
AS sunsets glory. spotless snow,
On whose broad field of heavenly
blue
The golden stars of statehood true
Like bivouac fires divinely glow?
'Tis but wisp of silk: the staff
Light as a boys slight wand. You
laugh;
They seemed so forty years ago.
Who'll lead us through the crowded
streets
While comets blare and bass drum
beats
Help us to keep unwonted time
To martial strains that give new life,
To memories of those years of strife
And trial in your southern cline:
Wherein we poured out Youths
sweet bloom
And Manhood's strength, like the
perfume
That censers waste in fanes sub
lime?
Not the old colonel tried and true,
Nor his stout major: in review
Or march they'll lead us never
more.
Some captain brave, lieutenant gay,
Or sergeant proved in march and
fray,
Succeeds to the command they
bore:
When, waking from the spell of
peace,
In memories proud we felt surcease
Of pain and donned the blue once
more.
In memories of brave deeds of men:
Of losses blending JOY and pain:
OF gallant lives given to death
Loyalty, cheerily as rain
Falls on the white-hot lava-plain
To perish in it's seething breath.
In charity, to those grief-worn
Watching in vain fer their return
Of whom Unknown" the record
saith.
Who speaks for us Memorial Day?
Whose burning words shall for us
say
Something that brings our lost
youth near:
The hopes and aims of high emprise
That made life nothing in our eyes
And Honor more than Death or
Fear:
Who shall interpret for us, now
That men to gold and pleasure bow
How love of country was most
dear?
Whom shall we miss Memorial Day?
Well is it that long years allay
The burdens of the laboring heart
In joy or sorrow, for the list
Is long of loved ones we have missed
From camp and banquet, field and
mart:
In ancient foray. field or fray,
And peaceful death-beds passed
away,
They from our hearts were torn
apart.
God give them peace Memorial Day
Whereas His blessed Islands lay
In golden light, or purple haze,
Where deathless flowers and healing
balm
For tired eyes, and holy calm
Await the brave whose fadeless
bays
Growing immortal brows reward
Heroes whose lives were given to
guard
The Right, through the eternal
days.
What shall we say Memorial Day?
That we tread fearlessly the way
From Manhood's prime to Ages
frost:
AS in the grand, grim past we trod
The wine-press OF the Wrath of God
Regardless of the pain or cost.
That still we prize DER wealth and
power
Our fatherland, and Freedoms dow
err,
For which such precious lives we
lost.
