And Still They Come.

They are coming back. Every ship
brings more of them, and we should
think up clever, original utterances
with which to greet them-such, for
instance, as Isn't America a pretty
decent country, after all?" or How
did you enjoy the customs inspec'
tion?" or well, well! old boy, did
you have a good time? Seasick, eh?"
1t is wonderful, really, the persist
ence with which people keep coming
home from abroad when they know
perfectly well what they've got to
face. Often has the clerk marveled
at their courage, though possibly II
is due to their not hearing word OF
what we say, as ideas are bursting out
of them with such vehemence as to
prevent the entrance of others. We

FiREMEN HAVE CLOSE CALL
Trapped in Burning Turn Hall by
Falling Roof, They Fight
Way to Safety.

Fond du Lac.-Fire which de-
stroyed Turner hall, imperiled the
lives of seven firemen. Chief Charles
Doll with a company of men were
trapped in the building when the
roof fell in. Fighting like demons,
and almost overcome by the smoke,
the men attacked partition with
axes and managed to get out of the
building.
Frank Marshall, a pipeman, was
overcome by smoke and had to be
carried out by his companions. All
of the men sustained bad burns.
Dolls mustache was burnt away.
Lieut.. Cleveland, with two firemen,
had gone up into a cupola to fight
the fire. When the roof fell in the
cupola started to sag. Cleveland and
his men sprang to the hose and amid
the cheers of the crowd in the street
slid to safety.
The fire was started from the out
side of the building, and when dis
covered the structure was doomed.
Six residences near the hall caught
fire, the roofs of three being badly
burned.

ways by which Jackson won a fame

outbreak of hostilities between the

governor of Virginia, and placed his
cadets and himself under Gen. Rob-

pointed colonel of the Virginia Vol

rank of brigadier general in recogni-
ton of his eminent ability

He then began those marvellous
military operations that have won the
plaudits of all mankind. Military

He was thunderbolt of war-energy.
He would strike at one point and in
an incredibly short time attack at
some distant place, and hurl his forces
against the weakest line of his OPP
ponent. He was never routed in bat
tie and never had an organized por-
ton OF his army captured. The
battling strategy which he brought to
bear upon the opposing forces, his
furious attacks. and his remarkable
marches made his name and fame as
a leader of armies undying. While
the battle ragged he would be in the
very front OF danger, and when the
crisis was passed he would retire to
his tent for prayer His trust In the
Almighty made him fearless OF all
things else. He united qualities that
seemed incompatible, by combining
military genius of the highest order
with intense religious fervor. He would
never tell his plans of war even to
his closest associates, and those
around him would not know what he
intended to do until the orders were
given. He made rapid marches, adj
vancing and retreating with a swift
ness unheard of before in the annals
of war. His sudden onslaughts usual
ly swept all before him, and when the
opposition brought against him over
whelming numbers he would suddenly
disappear to crash like lightning in
a new and unexpected place. His tao
tics were to advance and fight and

NEW EQUIPMENT OF SCHOOLS
idea Adopted in Washington Removes
Fear of Formally BY Making Fam
lily Groups of the Children.

To take away the old fear OF the
stifdisciplined schoolrooms and make
them into nice little meeting place,
where children have a splendid time,
and incidentally learn more and better
lessons than children ever learned be-
fore, an entirely new experiment will
be tried which will result in an enor-
nous investment in new furniture. if
the scheme is shown to be practica
bic.
The idea is from the brains of
Stephen E. Kramer, director of inter
mediate instruction, and John A.
Chamberlain. supervisor of manual
training, and is brand new in school
circles.
The scheme has to do with the lit
tie stiff-legged desks which the chill
dren in the first and second grades
have studied at from the early times
when desks supplanted the old-fash-
toned forms" The desks sit in rows,
formal and formidable, and the black
iron legs Of the desks and the stiff
ness with which these little pieces of
furniture sit on the floor all add TO the
strictness OF discipline which in these
latter days is beginning to be looked
upon as having disadvantages as well
as advantages.
Mr. Kramer has de- a little la
BILE desk. only a few pounds In weight,
which any first-grade child can lift
up and carry around the room. Mr..
Chamberlain drew the plans and
made the models. A little chair goes
with each small table desk, and both
desk and chair can be picked up and
carried anywhere in the schoolroom.
When the teacher wants to tell them
simple tale of how one and one
makes two, they will pick up their lit
tie chairs. push aside the desks and
sit around the teachers chair in a
very fascinating little family group.
The chairs and desks have rubber
tipped feet, so there win be little
noise.
In this way the teacher will get
right in among her children. When
she is demonstrating at the black
board the little boys and girls will
bring their chairs and sit close to her.
AS everyone knows. the present
method of having straight and stiff
lines of desks and chairs makes it i'm
perative that some of the children will
have to sit far off in the back row.
The idea will gain favor. it is be-
lieved, and will also take away lit.

You may talk about the difficult
ties you encounter with the customs
inspectors on arriving in New York,
said an English woman in New York
the other day, but you will find that
worse troubles of the kind accumulate
for you in certain parts of Europe. Els
pecially is this apt to be true on the
Austrian border.
Il was coming up from Turkey on
my way to Paris a few months ago.
Owing to the fact that my cousin, who
had been travelling with me, could
not get away from Constantinople, l
had to make the journey alone.

is supposed to be one of the finest in
Europe, but most of the way to Wen
ma it stops every few minutes. They
told me the reason was That they ~

start with and that these stops were
necessary to get fuel. Apparently
they took on about a shovelful at each
station.
I'VE reached the Austrian frontier
about two o'clock in the morning, and
then uniformed customs officials went
through the train routing out every
body They wouldn't let the women
dress. and / had to hurry out with
nothing on but dressing gown, and
the night was cold, too. We were
huddled in a room in the station anc
our hand luggage was brought out,
while every compartment in the train
was searched. Then they made US
open our bags and satchels.

Became Devout Christian.
So far Jackson had not given deep
study to religious subjects, and had
little knowledge of creeds. When he
returned to the United States at the
close of the Mexican war, he became
intensely concerned in Christianity
and joined the Episcopal church.
From that time forward his every act
was characterized by extreme piety.
He is quoted as having said that two
hours was as long as he could go
without communing with his Maker
in prayer. Conscientiousness was one
of his marked traits, and duty was to
him Of first consideration. His rev.
erence of the Deity was that of the
standard of perfection and Of the
source of authority. He believed in
special Providence, and was errone-
ously called a fatalist by some. His
abiding trust and simple faith were
those of a child. He never questioned
the why's and wherefores of Proyi-
dence but fervently prayed for every
thing and was satisfied with what oc-
