Candidate for Clerk of Supreme
Court.
ed. There is anything but good rea.
son for it. The very appointment by
the supreme court is the highest evil
dence that the man is highly fit for
the place. Iowa never had better
clerk, and that is saying much.
Though an elective state officer, Mr..
Bosquet will meet train in the night
to help some one file paper in time.
The evenings find him at work as
though he were a beginner, striving
Tor promotion, instead of the head Of
state department.. 1t is a pleasant
sight to watch him help some humble
litigant who wants information. He
has courtesy that is delightful be.
cause so absolutely kindly and genuine
and so unlike the skin-deep politenesa
of the politician.
We do not hold that men should be
given Office simply because they were
soldiers, but we still are proud of the
patriotic sentiment of the Republican
party, which has always lead it to
their lives for our salvation. There
will not be many candidates this year
who wore the blue; and there must
be less and less every year. Mr..
IBousquet with his superior fitness,
combines the recommendation that he
carried musket for three years. II
such men are to be denied renomi,
nation for their first full term it was
a mistake to have state wide prim,
airy.
We have supreme faith in the good
sense of the Iowa Republicans of any
shade, and we earnestly urge and be.
lieye that Mr. Bousquet should be
and that he will be triumphantly nom.
mated. We assure the people of Iowa
that he will continue to deserve sue,
cess by doing his whole duty ably and
faithfully.
We cannot better support ourselves
in what we have written than by
copying herewith letter volunteered
by Hon. Hugh Brennan, judge of the
district court. of Polk County, one Of
the leading jurists of Des Moines and
Iowa:

My Dear Sir: 1t affords the under.
signed great pleasure to write you re-
specting your candidacy for clerk OF
the supreme court of Iowa. AS Judge
I do not have business transactions
direct with your Office, but find up.
on investigation that you have given
entire satisfaction and that you are
highly respected by the bar and peo-
pie for the faithful and efficient man,
ner in which you have conducted
the affairs of your office in filling out
the unexpired term of Mr.. Crockett
who resigned. I cannot believe there
can be any question of your nomina.

ond term. / have sufficient confidence
in the Republican party and it's his
tory to say that 1t always recognizes
merit Your honest and faithful
work in the administration of your
Office entities you to this, and -
will, trust, without doubt,

A DisraeIi story.

There is good story of Disraeli in
his Aylesbury days. He was speaking
from the balcony of the George hotel
to a great crowd in the market square,
when cattle dealer shouted: Speak
up, Dizzy" To which the great man
made answer: Were my voice as
loud as thunder and my words as
sharp as fints, my sayings would
never penetrate the thick skull of my
radical friend To'.n Evaats."

done, SO we could get action on that
coffee which we were deprived of be-
fore daylight, We finally moved off
with our rifles at right-shoulder
shift.
Although we were ordered to march
slowly, some invisible force got in our
legs that knocked that slow move
ment into cooked hat. 1t was fast
time that suited us better at that
stage of the game, and we proceeded
to obey our own instincts by running.
When we got within a about 1000
yards of the brow of the hill up pops
the gray-clad enemy like lot of jack
rabbits. They rubbed their eyes only
to gaze on column Of men in blue
coming full tilt at them.
Two or three cannoneers rushed to
their guns and one fellow pulled the
lanyard and fired one shot over our
heads, but his service in the confeder-
ate army came to an abrupt close by
reason of Yankee bullet that plowed

A lot of the infantry rolled down

heartbroken over their capture, and
when we shared our coffee with them
some were ready to renounce JEFF

THE TOY CONNOiSSEURS.

A famous top shop which has re- gently moved uptown onto Fifth avenue presents a broad eXpanse of shop window filled with tin soldiers, dolls, mechanical teddy bears, hobby horses, toy garages. doll houses and every article for a dolls universe, and with each and every creature out of Noah's ark, of more or less dimensions and materials. As might be expected, this engaging display attracts continuous spectators, says the New York Evening Sun. A long line of interested admirers is to be found before that window from early dawn till dark. Do socks and curls predominate in the crowd? Oh, not at all Short skirts and knicker- lockers, perhaps? By no means The crowd that presses its nose against those windows and expresses itself in gurgles of delighted long ing is made of the sex that votes and of the sex that does not vote indifferently, but one and all alike are of a voting age. And the child ren pass decorously by down the avenue intent upon the more serious affairs of life.

TEACHING SPELLING TNcIDENT-
 AIlY"


 The method of teaching spelling in cidentally, as it is called, though in many cases it is only accidentally taught. does not compare in results with the old formal spelling lesson every day. A system that depends upon the regular and insistent teach ing of spelling by faithful correction of all misspelled words in a pupils written exercise may be workable in the lower grades, where written exer- cises are short, but any teacher who has ever tried to perform this task in the higher grades, with the increasing amount of written work and the in creasing necessity for vigilance, knows something of the heartbreaking task that presents itself every day. It is safe to say that teacher who will correct all of the mistakes in spelling in the written exercises of a class in the eighth or high school grades will have no time to do any, thing else.
 Teachers who have of their own accord gone back in the higher grades to five or ten minutes of for nal spelling every school day in the year have produced most satisfying results; and they were of such a character that the benefits offset the hairs splitting criticism of sound peda- gogical methods. This is a matter for the authorities who prescribe the cireulum- If they say that spelling shall be regularly and formally taught for a few minutes every day during the entire school life of pupils, it is certain that pupils will under that method soon acquire degree of pro-
