Another reason that there are not more efficient school ma 'ams is because about the time a school ma'am gets pretty well up in her work along comes a real live male man and inveigles her into do- ing his cooking for him.

 that make The care-erasing smile. And 1 ask my soul this question

A TOWN IS VERY A much like an individ-

AA V w AN IS LIN
 A much like an individ-
 ual. To be flourish ing, 1t must have energy and enterprise. The people in a town should remember that the individual prosperity de- pends to a large extent upon the character of the place ID which their business is loCat- ed. Every public measure should be literally supported by all, especially the business men. At the present day there is as much competition between towns as there is be- tween persons and business enterprises. A man seeking a location will invariably sell ect a town that IS up to the times and is eagerly in favor of every modern improvement. A town in these modern times can't afford to be peopled with old fogies or antediluvian fossils who are continually kicking at every enterprise. To make a fourishing town you must believe in its future and work for it, encouraging every improvement. Make a special effort to exhibit some evidence of improve ment in your own work and character. Help every worthy man, help every enterprise, and encourage every good man to locate in your town.

&(T IS IN THE HOUR

eD of misfortune, when
 life's path is dark and drearv, when we have made some grave mistake that has brought sorrow and distress on ourselves, relatives and friends when our cup seems running over and we are summed by those from whom encourage ment and advise would be so much worth and gladly wei comed that we are left to fight our battles alone. The un- fairest portion of 1t all is that many of those who know the bitterness of the lonely fight are no more guilty than our daily associates and friends, except that they have commit ted the unpardonable sin of being found out.
 Let us bear this in mind when again we see a former associate in distress and re- member that to err IS human and that to refuse to assist the fallen IS not divine.

subject but i'll view of the re- cent demand for betterment in the quality of our teachers 1t may not be out of place to say few words. The. school ma'am is a good subject, any way, and does not receive as much consideration as she de- serves.
 School ma ans are born not made-and they are usually born about twenty-five years earlier than there given age,
 There are two classes of school ma a'ams-those who have sufficient funds to en- able them to secure the educa- ton necessary t) at once com mence teaching in the higher grades, and those who start at the foot of the ladder and work up.
 The foot of the ladder is the country school which, by the way, has turned out some of our best and greatest citi- zens, due i'll part at least, to the instruction of the country school teacher, God bless her.
 The rural school ma'am is a person of considerable i'm portance within her sphere of action and a new teacher Is sufficient warrant for a spe- cial meeting of the Ladies s Aid in any rural community.
 She is usually a sweet de- mure little bunch of dimples and sunshine of eighteen summers and no winters who has acquired sufficient knowledge of mathematics to be able to divide the attention of the older bows of the com munity and add to the admir- ation of others, and has pass ed graded school examina- tion in the balance of the studies.
 For pupils she has from ten to fifty asorted youngsters of all ages and sizes, many of whom their parents and the Sunday school have been un- able to disciple-and the little school ma am is expected to do for them what their parents and God cannot do for them and she usually does.
 In addition to teaching the young idea how to shoot while herself lodging Cupids arrows, she must treat eacf pupil so as to retain the gooc will of the parents of each must act as social pivot fol the community at large, be { moral guide and rule to faith sometimes act as lanitol of the school and perform var ious other and manifold dut ies, for all of which she re ceives the magnificent salar7 of $2o to to $40 a month, pay able to suit the board of dir ectors and contingent upo1 the condition of the distric treasury.
