TEACHERS ARE READY.
Superintendent Hunter Gives Them
Pointers on How to Start Session.

When schools open Tuesday morn
ing every teacher will do her best to
put through one of the most rigid pro-
school, If they have taken the advice
Of Superintendent f. NJ. Hunter, who
gave them some pointers in his ad-
dress at the teachers meeting held in
the auditorium of the high school at
o'clock Friday afternoon.
About thirty teachers were present
at the meeting and the arrangements
for the opening of school were made
under the superintendent instruc.
tions. Programs for each week were
made out. Schedules for the visits of
of the music teacher were made. Text
books and plan books for the entire
year were distributed. These plan
books will contain the plans of the
teacher for the entire school year
The teachers-many of them were
last years teachers of the city's
schools which clearly showed that
schools looked bright and more smiles
which clearly showed that they had
thoroughly enjoyed their vacation.
Every teacher had either fountain
pen or a pencil and was busy jotting
down in a notebook some of the many
valuable suggestions given to them by
the superintendent.
Now teachers" said Mr. Hunter,
everything depends on yourselves on
the opening day of school. There are
no keener observers of human nature
than the many pupils you will face
Tuesday morning, on the opening day
of school. The pupils are going to
read your character and determine
their actions on that day when they
will ''size you up" If you have every
thing in readiness to start business
| right away, you will have discipline
and the pupils will size you up that
way"

IN the PALACE Of A KING
Miss Marguerite Reche of Norfolk
Writes of Trip to Germany.

Miss Marguerite Reiche of Norfolk
Writes of Trip to Germany.
Miss Marguerite Reiche, daughter of
Carl Reiche. one of the prominent
farmers living near Norfolk, recently
visited the hunting palace of King AL
bert of Germany and in an interesting
letter written to her father she de-
scribes that historic place. In the
many rooms of the palace, writes Miss
Reiche, there are tables made of ivory
and thousands of deer horns. Many
mounted wild animals and other tro-
phies of the various royal hunts are
to be seen. The bed clothing in the
palace is all made of silk. There are
very large carved cupboards and in
the cupboards many different kinds of
glasses, some with genuine garnets.
Among the gifts in the palace was a
box covered with white silk worked
with marguerites by the hand of a for
mer queen of England, and on the
walls are pictures of many kings and
queens who have featured Europe's
history for generations back and who
now lie sleeping in their tombs.
In Germany the moving picture fad
is raging just as in America, accord
ing to Miss Reiche's letter She at
tended a feast in one town which very
much resembled the street carnival
that is in vogue in this country
In her letter she speaks of having
seen large number of former &C
quaintances of her father and mother.
Miss Reiche says that wherever she
goes people in Germany make note of
the fact instantly that she is not
German. On one of her trips on the
train she saw an airship from the car
window being Unanswered by German
soldiers. Miss Reiche reached Ger
many April 80 and it was June 80, just
two months to a day, before she saw
rocking chair, these being very rare
in the old country.
Miss Reiche speaks of making trip
to the town of Wittenberg, where
Luther lived for many years and died.
She visited the old home of Luther.
Two rooms in the house were left just
as they had been when Luther lived in
them. Miss Reiche saw DR.. Luthers
wedding ring many medals and other
interesting articles. She speaks of a
visit to the schlOss kirche or palace
church, very beautiful building of
which the door alone cost $4,000. On
one side of the church extra seats are
built for the kaiser and his family and
in the church are the graves OF Melan-
schtan and Luther. In front of the
church is monument to Kaiser Fried
erich, Miss Reiche says that her
Fourth of July celebration was very
different than it is in America. On
July an airship stopped at the town
in which she is visiting, the machine
being out of order. Thousands of peo-
pie gathered around the big ship.

She's an Authoress,

At one time, the small towns were
entertained by good looking woman
street orator, who discoursed in a
rich Mary Lease voice on phrenology
and telling fortunes by the stars.
Had she been employed by state
central committee to speak on politics
she certainly would have aided the
party materially by her native shrewd.
ness, wit, knowledge of human nature
and oratory. But she was one Of those
strange types, coming from the slums
of the city, gifted of mind, but having
no knowledge of how to use her pow.
ers, or how to lift herself out of the
hobo sphere into which she was born.
She knew only how to employ her
gifts to prey upon the follies of peo.
pie for money. She had studied the
mystic PHILOSOPHERS and had an eye
that could detect at glance the mas
ter weakness of each individual. In
larger towns she had to buy license,
and was relegated to small room in
hotel, the mayor not permitting her
to speak on the street. In the small
towns, she got the mayor, the town
board, and the leading people to pat
ronize the mystic art. In her own
language, she had only to sit down,
talk, hold out her apron, and the dol
lars rolled like wheels into her lap"
She made enough money to live in a
gypsy.like luxury, and to prove up on
a Brown county claim. She is now
living in the east, an eccentric liter
airy woman, furnishing stories at so
much per "em" for cheap magazines
in New York and Chicago. Her stories
are more read and appreciated than

Mysterious Pair.

A number of years ago a man and
woman came out from somewhere
perhaps in the east, and settled on a
claim in a western county. They made
friends with no one. They built a
portable house, ordered ready to set
up from catalog establishment.
They traded with the catalog
houses. If they had any business to
transact relating to mail, they drove
many miles to a far away town, where
they were not known. The man dress
ed well. The woman always had a
made-up appearance. Some keen eyes
discovered she wore a wig. Some
times she was seen with the wig one
place, and without it another. InQuisi.
tive persons never found out anything
about where they came from, who
they were or where they had lived be-
fore coming to Nebraska. Some were
determined to find out little of their
present lives and drove out to their
claim. The woman was always busy
painting. Her catalog shanty was
hung with canvas pictures as thick
as the walls of studio.
A new country knows nothing OF
art Pioneers, as rule, are unerring
judges of trades, mules, cows, land
and hobs, but they know no more OF
the merits of picture than the Chic
taws. A loud laugh went over the ad
joining village at the woman's auda
city. She was dubbed queer" "off,
"batty," insane" When the assessor
called for a valuation of property the
woman put as the lowest cash price
$4,000 on her pictures. The assessor
shook his head at her folly and wrote
500, 10 protect the woman from hel
own imbecility.
One of the prominent women of the
town, with more cash than artistic
instinct, began to take painting les

The Quaker Doctor SHOWS.


For several years the highest form
of drama seen in the small towns
along the Elkhorn, was presented by
company of travelling artists, dress.
ed as Quakers, whose manager sold
a celebrated medicine for the removal
of tapeworms from the human all
mentary canal. Art and utility were
combined in the most effective man
ner, judging from the crowds that
semi-annually attended these perform
ances, and the amount of money car
ried out of each town by the manager.
Sometimes this company of players
and musicians arrived in state, via
the Elkhorn chair car, where they en-
tertained the travelling population free
by picking stringed instruments, tel
ing stale jokes in loud voices, and
furnishing vocal music, resoundingly
interjeCted in the interims of weari
ness. Sometimes they arrived in a di-
lapidated vehicle drawn by horses,
billed their show on the sidewalks
with chalk, while the manager called
the population together by addressing
the air through tin trumpet on the
main street. No matter how they
came, whether in style with railway
accommodations and announced by
printers ink, or whether they drove
into town behind superannuated team,
heralding their coming with chalk and
horn, they never failed to receive the
cordial support of an art-loving and
appreciative public. They sang their
songs and presented their plays to full
houses, after which the manager, a
