Domestic Art means probably a unit

girl, who sees even a slight likelihood
of removing to another town before
her school days are finished, will be
inclined to choose the subject that
will give the definite instead of the
one of uncertain value though she has
no aptitude whatever for the Latin and
has strong interest and liking for the
Domestic Art.

TALK WAS PRACTICAL.
Miss Ellen Medium Urges Uniformity
in Domestic Science Work.

At a meeting of the Kansas State
Teachers association held Friday after
noon in the Methodist church, Miss FL
len Medium, teacher Of domestic art
in the Kansas City, Kan, high school,
read an interesting paper from the SUBJ
ject, "A Uniform Course in Domestic
Art" Miss Medium applied practical
common sense to her technical know
ledge Of the subject, and as a result
had paper above the ordinary in value
to the teachers who were privileged to
hear at this meeting. Among other
things she said, in urging a uniform
course in domestic science in the high
schools of the state:
1.-THE first is that whether the child
remains in one school or moves about
SO that she attends several, her work
is continuous. 1 have in my classes
now more than one girl who by reason
Of having been in two schools since she
began to take domestic art finds her
progress hindered by gaps in some
parts, overlapping in others. One girl
entering second year sewing has not
studied the drafting and making of a
tailored Shirtwaist which comes in the
second year of her course at another
school, is a subject to which we give
special attention and a good deal of
time at the Kansas City high school
during our first year. AS the course
cannot be changed to fit every individ-
uals need, the girl in question must
=
subject which she has already compile
ted and then do the full second year
work which in the school that she came
from is partly given in the first year
and necessarily cuts some time from
her millinery, a subject required in our
second year.
"A second consequence of the present
local option in course, a consequence
even more serious than the matter of
gaps and over-lappings because it af-
fects the educational value of domestic
art, is the matter of i'll directed courses.
The teaching of domestic art is still a
very new science, one in which there
are comparatively few specialists and,
as yet, a Scant supply of capable teach
erS. AS most women are supposed to
know something of sewing, the present
great demand for instruction in domes-
tic art is naturally enough. satisfied in
many of the smaller schools with teach
ers who have had little special training
for their new work.
1.-The teacher of German or OF
Mathematics or of English is asked tic
take charge of a class or two in sew
ing along with her regular work. Col
lege entrance requirements and the
adoption of the State Board of Educa-
ton guide and restrict that teacher in
her teaching OF the subject for which
she has made special preparation, but
under the present uniformless condi-
lions, she is left to devise for herself
the course for which she has made
little or no previous preparation. She
cannot know that to teach darnins
before the simple stitches is difficult
for the small girl. A uniform course
would naturally be planned by those
the subjects in Domestic Art may bt
most beneficially presented.

Biddle is said to consider as an at
tempt on the part of Anthony to swap
political managers on the eve of cleo

and formerly an active local politician,
has practically usurped Biddle's job To-

an interest in the campaign and called
n mass meeting and perfected an Or
ganization to boost Anthony. Friends
of Anthony openly declare that Biddle
did not manage the primary satisfactor-
lily and they are afraid to trust the
election to his management. Frank
Phelps, a boon companion of Anthony,
denounced Biddle in the Times office
the morning after the primaries and the
two men nearly came to blows, it is
said Biddle was a candidate for the
local postoffice and there is consider
able speculation as to the result of the
affair.

He operations of the Strandberg, Johnson Mining Co. OH Julian creek have not been barren of re. suits according to the last reports brought ill from that section.
 Il appears that they put down a hole about mile up Julian, just to verify their belief that the creek contained a paystreal. Not only did they run into gold bearing gravel, which by the geolo9isls is called auriterous gravel, but they found four feet of it and in this gravel they banned from five to seventy five cents.
 This fact is interesting because it betokens lot of wealth on Julian. They know that they have good pay at the mouth, and now they know they have excellent pay one mile from the mouth, well then write your OWL ticket.

GUN EXPLODED
 IN THE AIR

A possible tragedy was averted by narrow margin in a cabin on George river a short time ago, and one of the parties is now out on a bond of $2ooo bound over to the grand jury and cited to appear here when the jury convenes ill the spring.
 E. W. Parks was returning from chicken hunt carrying a p cal. rifle. He had warned J H. Porter off his domain before, but he found Porter in one of his cabins and went to warn him off again. Siding away, it appears the complaining witness watched for an opportunity to close with the defendant, and iii the struggle that followed the gun was discharged but without harm. Porter also claims that the detend- ant tried to cnt him ill the back with cheese knife.
 The charge was assault with a deadly weapon and J. 2. Moody of this city was there to defend Parks at the preliminary hearing before Judge Heavey. There were no eye witnesses, wherefore the defendant was bound over for Investigation by the grand jury.

Gold is not the only substance that may be found in the Kuskokwim, fl percoating reports from that section are to be clothed in the proper sem blence of authenticity. Gold they have, to be sure, but just to go the rest of the country one, two or three better, they have quicksilver, cobalt, copper, silver and coal, all of which will give the embryo metallurgist q chance to trot a lively heat, should he happen to put his nose in the race of events across the divide.
 Take, for instance, that copper and silver ledge on Swift river, about POO miles above Georgetown. This stream is a tributary of the Kuskokwim and it is said that Judge Heavey has two men working there now in an attempt to define the ledge and get the property in shape for production.

 Slres,
 The thoughtful soul to solitude retires Is just as true now as when Omar said it, and, by the same token, it is also a lead-pipe cinch that thoughtless souls forget all about retiring these here New Yearses. Instead of that they get right out where everybody can see them.
 Do you remember those times when old Market street was blaze of light from one end to the other, and howl ing mob of light-headed citizens pa raded up and down the thoroughfare, throwing confetti in everybody's eye, 50 that they couldn't see Old Man Last Year stealing out through the Golden Gate, and rosey-faced New Year flying gladly over the Ferry building
 Say, what a time a thoughtful per son would have had in that riot. Did you ever see such a bunch of asylum candidates gathered on one street, and all of them apparently bent on break ing at once into the sacred walls of 8 sanitarium?
 And then. after you had exhausted your wind blowing tin-horn in every ones ear, and so deaf yourself that you couldn't distinguish your own voice, you headed with the bunch for the cafes and stormed the citadel of snowy linen and sparkling cut glass, trying to pull the wig off the orchestra director as you passed.
 There was where things got good. The music tore large holes through the ambient atmosphere, while the glasses clinked and boisterous ones grabbed the roses from the table and threw them at the pretty girls across the way. And do you remember how she kissed the rose and threw it back?

 And then the mystic hour approached in swelling chorus of hilarity. The music stopped with a sudden crash, the lights went out, and there you were by her side, stealing the kiss that trambled on her lips. Her eyes had told you she'd be in that spot, and their light lead you unerringly even in darkness absolute.
 You tarried but a moment in the wild abandonment of spirit that held the whole assemblage, breaking just in time to escape the flood of light that followed the universal indiscretion. That is, you broke-well, of course, it was New Years, and you know what q fellow will do on that salubrious day.
 Say, let's come out of it just mo- ment and look the matter coldly in the face. We're not on Market street, you know. Still that doesn't make much difference as long as the spirit is there. Market street or Alaska, what boots it if wine, women and song are here to cheer us?
 In our town, which is Iditarod city, we are going to gull off stunt that'll make even Market street jealous. We are going to gather around the festive board or New Years eve, and every body for miles and miles is coming with a song on his lips and careless freedom in his heart.

Eufaula, September 2.-(Special. )-Jamie Reeves, youngest son of J. H.

The young man is busily engaged in rebuilding the olc family home on College Hill, which was destroyed by fire about five years ago, and although 1t is his first experiment. in the way of architecture, he says he thinks he understands his task, and it is safe to predict that it will be a beauty of mod ern design and up-to-date workmanship.
 The public school of the city will open for the fall term on September F with a very largely increased matriculation. Pro- lessor Mccoy who has been teaching a summer school at Gainesville. has reached the city and Is in readiness to assume charge as general superintend- ent.
 Work on the new Episcopal church is progressing nicely and 1t is expected to have it in readiness some time during De- cember. The Rev. T. H. Johnston, the rector, is enjoying his annual vacation among the fishing haunts of Canada, and will return early in October.
