His Recommendation.

Very graceful was the subterfuge
resorted to by certain general who
had been tyrannized over by a Ger
tain atrocious cook whose cooking
he had suffered from more out Of
fear than love for so long a period
that he became at length martyr
to Indigestion. The cook had to
leave, but she demanded written
reference. What is more, she stood
by while her unhappy master strove
between fear of her and fear of the
crime of manslaughter being on his
conscience if he recommended her
to another employer who might be
brought to an early grave with dys-
pepsia. At length he found way
out.

VICTOR IN OHIO
Reelected Governor by an In
creased Plurality.

Cleveland, Nov. 10.-The Demo
Gratis swept Ohio and in addition to
electing -Judson Harmon for a second
term as governor have undoubtedly
elected the remainder of their state
ticket and majority of the legisla-
ture. In consequence Senator Charles
Dick, Republican, will be succeeded
in 1911 by a Democrat
Harmons plurality is still in doubt,
but sufficient returns are in to show
that it is the largest ever given by
Ohio to a Democrat The latest esti-
mates gave Harmon a margin of co.
900 over Harding.
The next Ohio congressional dele
cation will contain thirteen and pos
sibly fifteen Democrats out of the
twenty-one.

Trial BY Jury.

Whence comes the system OF trial
by jury? In the opinion OF Bour-
guignon, French iurist, sits origin
loses itself in the night of time.
Blackstone speaks of it as "a trial
that hath been used time out OF
mind.o Reeves thinks it was intro
dueed into England by the Nor
mans, who themselves obtained it
from northern Europe. 1t is certain
that the Scandinavians had an es-
tablished jury system more than q
thousand years ago. The Normans
on their arrival in England found
prevailing there the ordeal of hot
irons, which enforced the carrying
of a pound of heated metal by the
accused for a given distance, and
the ordeal of hot water, in which by
way of variation a stone had to be

- YINETY per cent of all the coun-
IN try boys and girls never get
u any education beyond that
given them In the country
schooihouse. Obviously the problem of
education for country life Is the prob
lem of the district school.
The problem Of the increasing cost
of living is not so much to be solved
by raising more corn and hogs as it is
by raising better boys and girls. A
crop of boys and girls brought up to
love the country and appreciate its
possibilities will do much to postpone
the coming of the day when the Unit
ed States will be too big to feed itself
There are too few real country
schools in the United States today.
There are too many limitations of town
schools. Too many of the teachers are
girls from town. They come out on
Monday morning and go back on Fri
day night They have none of the
spirit of the country, and they endure
the country school for the meager
wages they receive. They are longing
for the day when they may get posi-
tons In town schools.
While this condition exists the rural
school cannot be a success. If the
country is to have life of its own, as
1t already has in many localities, that

VICTORY FOR THE SOCIALISTS
Elect Congressional and County Tick
cts at Milwaukee.

Milwaukee, Nov. 10.-The Social
Democratic party achieved note
worthy victory here by electing Victor
i. Berger to represent Wisconsin in
the national congress from the Fifth
district. Berger will have the distinc-
ton of being the first Social Democrat
to sit in congress.
In addition to this they swept Mil
wauBee county, electing their county
ticket from top to bottom by plurali.
ties ranging from 5000 to 1000.
Added to this the Socialists elected
thirteen members to the legislature,
one senator and twelve assemblymen
from Milwaukee county. The Repub-
licans elected La Toilette legislature
and their entire state ticket Francis
E. McGovern, Republican governor
elect, has a plurality estimated at Co..
600.
Eight Republican congressman, one
Democrat (the Sixth district), one So
eialDemocrat (the Fifth were elected.

Travels of the Blood.

The mileage of the blood circula-
ton reveals some astonishing facts.
It has been calculated, for instance,
that, assuming the heart to beat
sixty-nine times a minute at ordi-
nary pressure, the blood goes at the
rate of 206 yards in a minute, or
nine miles an hour, 227 miles day
and $4,000 miles year.
If man eighty-four years old
could have but one single blood cor
puscle floating in his blood all his
life it would have travelled in that
time nearly 100000 miles.-Chi-
cago Tribune.

Ordeal by Battle.

The ordeal by battle introduced
into England by William the Con-
queror died out of usage in Eliza
beth's time. But it still remained
the law of the land until 1918, when
it got repealed after being resorted
to by one Thornton. He had de-
ceived and murdered beautiful girl
named Ashford, and, claiming his
right to wager of battle, the court
of queens bench was obliged to al
low it. The girls brother when he
was challenged refused to fight.
The murderer was forthwith dis
charged. New York Press.

life must be most manifest in the
school The fault Is not primarily
with the teacher. hut with the system
The chief fault with the rural schools
is that there are too many of them
In Iowa there are 27S schools with few
er than five pupils each. There are
1858 schools with an average of fewer
than ten pupils The schools have been
established with the idea of numbers
rather than quality. There is a$chool-
house every two miles with monoto-
nous regularity. whether there are any
pupils or not. Under such conditions
large share of the school funds is
used in maintaining the small schools
The result is cheap teachers, poor
schoolhouses and meager equipment.
The most advanced rural communi-
ties are getting around this difficulty
by consolidation. In some places two
schools are brought together, in others
three or four or half a dozen. One
good, well equipped schoolhouse takes
the place of several poor ones Fewer
teachers are needed, and the money
can be used to hire better ones. plot

to have their schoolhouse taken away
even though there are but two or three
pupils of school age in the district.
Local pride is commendable thing.
There is just as much local pride in a
consolidated district, but 1t Is a little
wider In its scope. The pride based
upon modern consolidated school has
much more foundation than the pride
that objects to having q dilapidated,
poorly attended schoolhouse removed.
. The question of getting pupils to and
from school has been troublesome
one in some localities. The coming of
better roads is doing much to solve
that. Even in the largest consolidat-
ed school districts the bulk of the pu-
pills are within two or three miles of
the schoolhouse. Often stables are pro-
vided near the schoolhouse, where the
pupils from the corners of the district
can keep their horses. More often the
children are hauled in covered wagons
at the expense of the district.
The consolidated rural schools are
developing a system of education all
their own. They are no longer imi-
tators Of the city schools. They are
of the country and for the country.
Objection has been made to the intro
duction Of agriculture into the rural
schools on the ground that the courses
are already crowded. There is some
ground for this objection in the old
fashioned district school, In the con-
soIidated school better grading is pos
sible. the pupils learn a thing well

that the Republicans will carry their
