DANCING STARS.
The Twinkiers Seem to Jump When
 Viewed Through . Telescope.

Viewed Through . Telescope.
 One of the most interesting things appearing in the telescope when that instrument Is pointing heayenward is the appearance of jumping stars. Of course we can see stars twinkle with out a telescope, but with a telescope they may be seen to jump and actual ly to dance The cause Is the same mixing currents of light and heavy air causing refruction or bending of the rays of light coming from the star We can see the same phenomenon by looking at a small object in a room through the air directly over a hot radiator. The object seems to jump and dance as if playing hide ard seek with itself.
 This jumping in the telescope or fwiDkling 10 the naked eye has also been explained by what Is called in- reference. If two sources of light are placed close 10 each other then on a screen placed properly we can catch an alternate band of white and dark lines. Of course if the eye be placed at dark line fl can see neither source of light The production of these dark lines Ia accomplished by different light waves reaching the screen in ops posife phases so as fo blot out or can eel the effect due to each. In like man. ner fl can be shown that if rhe star has polrchroinatic light it can and has actually been observed to change color from this effect alone
 The best time to observe this effect of star dancing Is an cold. crisp night. The telescope should be point cd ta rwinkiins star as near the horizon as can be found as to see star en ise horizon WE hnvp fo look through nnt'h mere atmosphere fhan To s'.e one in the zeuifh and there is consequently mare ehanre far varied currents s-Si Luuis Republic.

tFrom Woodstock Academy Gleanerl The Silent Harp.strings.
FRED. F. ROCK WELL.

There's story, quaint and olden,
 That beside the cRstled Rhine Stood two towers, between whose turrets Lengths ei slenderest wire entwine. And the master builder proudly
 Thought, w hen gentle breezas blow These fine strings shall give forth music Never eqaaled, sweet and and low ? spiingtime's xephyrs whispered softly Der the fields so green and fair; Summers breath of south wind bslmy
 Filled the plain with sweetness rare; Antumn's cool and freshening breexss
 Brought the sweetness of the vine; All around the harvests ripened,
 In the country of the Rhine. But the slender, shining harp- strings In mysterious silence deep Hung against the blue of heaven
 Wrapped in an unbroken sleep. Never once chord they uttered,
 Never once s siivery tone, Nor 6 glorious note of triumph.
 Nor vail like sorrows moau. And the master builder sadly
 GsEed upon then: thus he spake, .ln the hurricanes of winter
 Surely these frail wires must break, l have failed; my plan was mighty; have striven all in vain, Not pote has ever sounded,
 Neither joys nor sorrows strain.r' Ani that night . mig hty tempest, Sweeping down with cruel blast, eaasnt the harp strings, smote them
 nerceiy,
 In ex1ltant power vast. Lol the peasants, shuddering, awe. .struck Heard. as lailed the storms mad roar, Strains of music soft and tenoer,
 Which they'd never known before.

 The Wanderer

 There was road my roaming feet oft found
 When went free to wander ss willed It led to greco land of little sound. Far from the valleys where the fields were til ed. The whispering leaves shone silver in the Or sailed in Autumn on the rippled stream, By that white way up which used to run, The road that winds to Fairieland be. yond the Hills O Dream Deep were the forests down whose aisles went;
 Vast was the quiet of those charmed domains Upon the golden heights my days spent,
 Far from the elanking of Tolls prison chains. The surging cities by the troubled seas left untrod beneath their shrouds of steam; My sunlit way led far away from these |; The road that winds to Fairieland, be- yond the Hills O Dream. Perhaps again, beyond the drifted years, Where with his white locks and his out-run glass Time waits for those who laugh, and those in tears, At hat slim gate which only dead men pass Perhaps again the wandering Soul shall break
 The bonds of care, and OCT that silent stream There's no re-crossing in new freedom take The road that winds to Fairieland -
 beyond the Hills O Dream.

WILL SEND
BROWNE BACK
Acquitted of Bribery, His Chances
Of denomination are STRENGTH
ened

Ottawa, ILL.,, Sept. lO.-The can
didacy of Lee O'Neil Browne, Dem
ocratic minority leader acquitted of
a charge of bribery, is the allah
sorbing topic of conversation among
politicians in his district. The de-
feat of Browne is receiving more
attention from the Republicans
than from the Democrats
Brownies acquittal has strength
ened his chances of denomination, it
is declared. Even had the jury
disagreed at the second trial it is as
serted he would have been renomi-
mated. He has strong personal
following and has built up a strong
machine and, as he himself declared,
''the nomination means the elec-
tion."
Those in touch with the political
situation here asserted positively
that Browne will be sent back to
the legislature.

Maynard Academy Opened

chool.opened on Tuesday, Sep.
TENDER 18th, with the highest en-
rollment in the history of the insti.
tuition. Also we have more board
ing students than is usual for the
opening. Not only have old stu.
dents returned, but they have
brought new ones with them, and
we feel that the prospect for sue
cessful session is brighter than ever
before. Prof. Downs, our principal,
made very energetic campaign in
the interest of the school work and
his work has produced the desired
results. Being scholarly gentle
mon with frien lily interest in the
home life of the common people, he
has worked hard to secure fine
opening and we-are glad to say that
he was not disappointed. The
patrons and citizens of the town also
have manifested a greater interest
in the school. This was evidenced
by the large attendance at the open
ing exercises, and by enthusiastic
speeches made by different members
of the audience.
The opening exercises were very
entertaining and instructive and
were rendered as follows:
l. Opening Hymn.
2. Scripture reading by Rev. j..

The faculty has already won the
full confidence and esteem of our
citizens, and may justly expect a
hearty cooperation in their efforts
to advance the educational interests
of this section of the country. Prof.
May comes to us an experienced
teacher, and well qualified, having
finished the four years High School
course and one year in the Univer.
sity Of Arkansas. Prof. Downs
had arranged with Mr.. r. r.
Thompkins as assistant, but failing
to secure him, we deem ourselves
very fortunate in selecting so COM
petent an instructor to fill the posi-.
ton. Miss Effe Goodgame comes
to us very highly recommended by
Pres. Hartzog of Ouachita College,
where she has held the position of
assistant teacher in Latin for two
years. At her graduation she re-
ceived first honors in class of
thirty nine and the distinction of
being chosen class orator. She is a
very conscientious and energetic
young lady who devotes her best
energy to the welfare of her classes.
We should also state that she holds
an A. B. Degree from Ouachita
College. Miss Eva Humphreys,
who holds diploma in both Voice
Culture and Piano Forte, has had
experience in her line of work, hav-
conducted a successful class in the
city of Arkadelphia. She brings
unbounded enthusiasm to her work
and at the close of the first day her
department showed an enrolment

SUPPLY WINS
FROM MAYNARD
Interesting game was played last
Saturday afternoon at Sup
ply

Last Saturday afternoon Supply
base ball team played their last
game of the season beating Maynard
in a very ragged game by score
of l6 to II. The game was ruined
by a dispute in the early part of the
game, when both teams were playing
fast and such good work being
done by the pitchers and catchers
of each side, Jolly and Ruff for
Supply and Goodwin and Crockett
for Maynard until the last of the
seventh inning when Goodwin's
arm gave down and Jolly's support
got loose, then the scores began to
pile up on each side.
Supply has a record they can
boast of for this season, having
played seventeen games, losing
only one. The fastest game of the
season was played between the two
teams of Supply the "Reds" and
"Blues," the "Reds" winning by a
score of 2 to 0. 1t was pitchers
battle, only two hits being made on
each side and no man got "walk"
of either pitcher. jolly for the
"Reds" and McCauley for the
"Blues" did the work.

is opposite from theirs. Anything
different from what they think and

MARKET COMMENT OF THE DAY
Opening Was Weak.

Chicago, April 11.--Whe@t: The mar
ket opened weak at half to seven
eighths decline on general selling by
commission houses. Local shorts had
covered pretty freely on Saturday and
support was lacking from that source.
There was some rain since Saturday
in Kansas and Missouri, half inch be-
ing about the maximum. Our reports
still indicate a larger proportion Of
winter killed area than any previous
reports. Reliable advices from Kansas
state that the deterioration in that state
has been very pronounced since April
i. Illinois reports prospects of poor
crop in many sections. The action and
reaction in wheat prices today was
more a reflection of local than general
conditions. The professional element
are bearishly inclined and were putting
out short wheat covered on the strong
spots at the weakened. We believe
wheat should be bought on weak spots.
