impudence) at forty PAGES; but from
his coign of vantage he nevertheless
succeeded in transmitting sundry Mar
cOntgrams with his eyes, which seemed
to be perfectly understood.
There were few vacant seats at
breakfast, and every passenger seemed
to have all the sea-going stamina, from
Captain Noah down to Captain Cook "
What was more to the point, the seat
beside Sylvia was Enthusiastically and
abundantly filled, while the vigilant
lorgnette swept the saloon like the
binoculars OF a field marshal.
The outlook was gloomy.
But Dangerfield thought of the Grand
banks and was OOmforted
The weather was no lukewarm ally,
and even before those misty shadows
were reached the wind rose and a
choppy sea came on, increasing to a
long tumbling swell and swish which
swept the decks with saucy brine. More
than half the passengers felt their
hearts grow faint, so to speak, and
suffered sudden loss of appetite
When SylVia's mother toiled tardily
up the companionway and took her
seat there was a tell-tale pallor in her
face-and she didn't care for any des-
sert. Dangerfield's spirits rose with
the storm. But his forehead grew
clammy as he noticed that Sylvia, too,
had lost her usual color. A dreadful
apprehension took possession of him,
which was not dissipated until he saw
the fluffy, golden hair enter at six
bells, and then--oh, Joy unspeakable!
she came alone.
1t was not exactly loss of appetite
that abbreviated his meal, for Danger
field was an excellent sailor, but the
necessity of being at hand when the
Titan apparition should start back
down the companionway.
He had to summon all his Spartan
blood as he listened to Sylvias har-
rowing recital of the maternal suffer-
ings and the ordeal was mingled with
no small amount of perplexity. But
an inspiration came to him as he
looked into the upturned face, which
still wore it's summer tan.
Don't you know that freckles are
not fashionable in October, Sylvia 2"
he said, with what seemed a heartless
irrelevancy. But before she had re-
covered from her surprise he had
pressed upon her the largest sample
bottle of the Twentieth Century ANTI
Mal-de-Mer Speciac-with the label
scraped off.
AS a freckle eradicator it was a dead
failure, but for its legitimate purpose
there were evidently millions In it."
1t was q marvellous success. The cosy
corner In the reading room could at

test 1t. The lee OF the main deck ana
the hurricane deck could bear witness
to 1t. The captains cabin could Ger
tify to 1t. They might have testified
to much else calculated to bring ON
complications in a certain state room
where the lorgnette lay as idle as .
painted ship upon painted ocean.
But they didn't.
At any rate, not until the Oceanic
had pulled up in the Mersey and Syl-
via had heroically told 1t all herself.
Happiness must have oiled Danger
fields tongue as a promoter. Certainly
his success in that capacity contrib
uted much toward COnCiliating the an
cry lorgnette.
Yes, Blanton," he laughed, three
months later, as the smoke wreaths
curled upward in the metropolitan
bachelor apartments, the Twentiethl
Century Anti-Mal-de-Mer Specific is
a positive cure for everything-but

Hawesville, KY, July 2O.-The Louis
vile, Henderson & st. Louis west
bound passenger train No. 145. which
left Louisville at 9:15 o'clock last night
for ST Louis, was wrecked by land

ACTRESS TO WE'D
MILLIONAIRE WHO
JUST GOT DIVORCE
Frederick Wadsworth, Whose
Wife Has Quit Him, to
Marry the Former
Mrs. Hackett.

New York, July 20.-Frtends Of Ma
Mannering, former wife Of James
Hackett, are waiting for her to comG
east to congratulate her personally
upon the news to the effect that the
actress Is to become the bride Of Fred
ertck w. Wadsworth. millionaire, Of
Detroit. Unless Miss Mannering re-
turns east soon, they say, COngratula-
tons may have to be extended upon
her marriage rather than upon her en-
gagement.
That Miss Mannering was to be mar
ried again had been a great secret and
only few Of her most intimate friends
knew 1t.
The relations that have existed be-
tween Mr.. WadSW Orth and his wife for
some time have not been harmonious.
Indeed, until last Monday there was a
divorce suit pending brought by the
wife. Then the district court at Kala-
mazOO gave to Mrs. Wadsworth her
freedom and the custody of their
daughter, Helena.
Says He Was Grouchy.
The charges brought against the
man, who, according to those in the
secret, Is to mary Miss Mannering
were that Mr.. WadSwOrth was grOuchy
and mOrOse and frequently Inundated
IllG NlIt ny Sd yiIis she ulu llOL nave
the brains Of a pinhead." In addition
he objected to her using the family
auto to take her relatives out riding
as he said, using it as a baggage
car"
Mr.. WadswOrth's troubles are over
now, and it is thought there may be
some formal notice of his cement
to the actress. Miss Mannerings
marital troubles were cleared January
10 last, when the court granted her a
divorce from James K. Hackett, and
gave to her the custody Of their g.
year-old daughter

bliss Mannering and Mr. HaCkett
were members Of the Lyceum Theater
company when they ' ere married in
1897. For IS months the public did
not know of the marriage. 1t was more
than two years ago that stories of a
disagreement began to circulate
Mr.. WadswOrth, 1t Is said, has known
Miss Mannering for several years, hav-
ing met her socially. Their friends
knew that he admired her greatly and
to them the news of the engagement
will not come as a surprise.

G. G. Foster for Assessor.

Most everybody in Randall
and adjoining counties know or
have heard of G. G. Foster who
has served for some time in the
capacity of Suveyor in and for
Randall county. His record as
a citizen and an official is well
known hence it is useless for
the News to attempt repetition
of the complimentary things
that are said of him.
We are authorized to an
nounce the name of c.. G.. Fos.
ter as candidate for election
to the office of Tax Assessor of
Randall county. subject to the
action of the Democratic pri-
mary in July. The Office of
Assessor is a very important
one both from the standpoint of
the citizen and the county but
there is no doubt in our mind
that Mr.. Foster can perform it's
duties with credit to himself
and to the county.

Prizes TO be Given at Fl. Worth Fat Stock Show

Some cattle feeder with the
right kind of handling, can make
a bushel of money at the FIT.
Worth Fat Stock Show next
March. Here is a showing of
his possible winnings.
Say he sends in a car Us head
of 3-year-old steers Tor IS, or
yearlings, for the premiums are
the same) on which he wins the
first premium, which is 5000;
and the grand championship, 500
and if they are good enough to
win in these contests they are
pretty sure to come out ahead in
the killing and dressing out con
test, which will bring 500 more.
And if they are Herefords or
Shorthorns, and are good enough
to win in all these contests, they
will get the $500 that these asso-
Citations offer for the champion
carlot of their breeds. That
makes a total of 5000 to be won.
And then there is the selling
of the cattle. Prize winners
bring a fancy price. Last year
they sold at $3.50, with an aver
age weight of 1898 pounds, max
ing Sl12.35 per head. The beef
market is higher now than it was
then, and the winners will prob.
ably bring more. If they bring
only as much and are of the same
weight as last years winners,
they will make their owner total
of SIP. 30 per head, for the pre-
miums will total $50 per head.
That is a pretty good price
for beef steer. 1t shows the
liberal encouragement that the
National Feeders and Breeders
show is giving stock the South
west, when winnings are pos
sible. This show is held March
14th to 10Th, and deserves the
regulations it has, of being the
greatest stock show in the coun
try outside of Chicago.

T. v. Slack for Assessor.

Last week the News stated
that without boasting Randall
county has some very popular
officers" and in this weeks
issue we wish to add to this
another statement; Randall
county has some very staunch,
prosperous and progressive
farmers too and the News will
mention the name of #. V. Slack
who resides on a farm near Can
yon City and has been a Randall
county farmer for the past
seven years, coming to this
county from Fannin county,
Texas. Mr.. Slack has spent
the major part of his life on 4
farm and is therefore well in
formed as to values pertaining
to that occupation. He has
never served the public nor has
he ever asked for an office.
Mr.. Slack authorizes the News
to announce his name for AS
SCISSOR of Randall county, sub
iect to the July primaries.

upon the pupil. Emotional ma
lures are wrought to such a
pitch as to incapacitate for think
ing. 1t is only the child of ex-
traordinary ability that is not
over depressed by such eXac-
tions. The mental and emotion
al strain is so great that medic
al authorities declare that less
than ten per cent of pupils after
such tests are in a sound and
healthy state.
Teachers demand too much
written work from pupils under
twelve years of age. While the
new born infant may sustain it's
own weight by the hand grasp
for some minutes, that does not
argue that the pupil of eight can
learn to write as easily or con-
tinue to write for so long a peri
cd as a pupil of twelve. There
is wide difference between the
use of muscles of the funda-
mental system and the use of
those fine, recently acquired ac-
cessory muscles weighing not
over two ounces by which the
penholder is held. The plan of
beginning with large letter
forms, and of having these re
produced with the whole arm
movement is to be commended.
But to require so much written
material, often under the guiSe
of busy work." is productive
of nervous tendencies of the
most aggravating sort.
The materials with which the
pupils work should be properly
selected. Wasteful tension is
wasteful energy. a "scratchy"
pen is irritating and metal pen
holders cOnnot be easily held.
Pencils with soft lead give the
best working results. The text
book should be printed so as to
relieve eye-strain. The use of
block type and additional lead
ing is desirable in bookmaking.
The organization, the manage
ment and the equipment of our
schools must be judged by the
supreme test-etficiency. The
great question is: What is best
/ for the child? School hygiene
insists upon the child's highest
good as the wisest economy.
Time and means, instrument and
occasion must be measured by
the fact of the needs of the
child. The function of the
school is to lead, but not to pull;
to assist, but not to remove; to
feed, but not to gorge; to inter
est, but not to amuSe; to inspire,
but not to intoxicate; to counsel,
but not to worry; to condition,
but not to force; to nurture, but
not to supplant; to environ but
not to mechanically nor dispro-
portionately encompass.
The possibilities of the child
naturally and philosophically
have their limitations. But the
school should give him every
assistance in actualizing his po-
tentialities and conserve his en-.
ergetic latencies for effective
activity.
The three correlated consider.
ations of school efficiency are
the school plant, the teacher,
the child. These three; but the
greatest of these is the child.

fupted. Some OF the old fixtures
in the school life may be made
by this means alone. The va
rious systems of fatigue meas
urements, and the facts more or
less observable in teaching ex-
perience, a study of the localiza-
ton of cerebral functions and
the daily rhythm, give evidence
of the value of arranging ar
economic working relationship
between the several subjects
of study. Recuperative studies
are those which go to extremes
in activity. The stimulation of
any given area tends to call into
activity correlated areas. The
teaching of algebra Immediately
after arithmetic stim ulates the
same cerebral activities, so that
recovery from fatigue must
come from involving extremes,
such as going from mathemat-
les to manual training, or from
language training to drawing.
Non writing subjects should
come between two which re-
quire written treatment. This
prevents the overfatigue of To-
cal areas, allowing the pto
maines to become dissipated and
elimated before the organism
suffers in consequence of the
overtaxation. This fact consti-
tutes one of the fundamental
arguments in favor of motor ac-
tivities in school education, not
alone that mental and physical
reactions are mutually educa-
tive, but within normal limits
they are mutually recuperative.
A study of the daily rhythm
and of the fatigue content of the
several subjects of study uniteS
in placing the more difficult
studies in the forenoon and the
less difficult subjects in the
afternoon. The vital processes
reach their highest tonicity at
about ten o'clock in the morn
ing. Thereafter is a gradual
decline, with a partial recovery
at four o'clock in the afternoon.
When the child comes to school
at nine in the m forming his vital
! forces are on the aScendency
and at their best 20 undertake
the more formal and eXacting
studies of the curriculum
From nine to eleven o'clock in
the forenoon are the best work
ing hours of the day. The
formal study of grammar and
arithmetic should come between
these hours from the fact that
they are the least interesting in
per Sc and the mind is freer to
direct the attention toward their
mastery. This leaves the less
fatiguing subjects to articulale
with these, the more mechanic
al exercises following in the
afternoon.
School hygiene condemns the
formal examination in the ele-
mentary school. Tests as a
part of the regular school ex.
ercises are desirable and neces.
sary. But there is no exercise
more oppressive and exactine
as the formal test. The worry
of anticipation and the conse
quent cramming and restless
ness are devitalizing in the ex.
treme. Promotions may be
made upon criteria just as valid
and reliable and not so taxing
