Original of Falsta6.

Sir John Fastolf was the original of Shakespeare's Falstaff and in his day was a continual butt for the jests of the town and borough of Southwark. Though he had fought at Agincourt, when Jack Cade invaded the borough, he showed great cowardice. When Cade was yet some way of Fastolf had armed and fortified his house and garrisoned 1t with veterans of the French wars. On the arrival of Cade, however, he withdrew his garrison and fled to the Tower, leaving his neigh bors to the mercy of the rebels. Fas- tolfs matrimonial adventures seem also to have been another source of unpop- ularity, for, having married . widow named Scrope, he seized her property and kept his stepson out of his inheri- tance during his own nfstime.-Lou- don News.

Tho Old EnsIieh Prixs RinS.

h the latter days of the English prize ring i1numsrable expedients had to be devised to bring off . fight. A faverite plan was to pitch the ring on tho borders of tive counties, so that the question of magisterial jurisdiction might be rendered difficult. Another plan was to charter | steamboat and proceed down the Thames to some lonely police forsaken spot in the marshes of Essex. For tho memorable contest between Sayers and Heenan in 1860 special train was run from Lon- don bridge to secret destination. But the passengers, who comprised members of parliament, peers, pick pockets, pugilists, clergy and, 1t is said, a few bishops, cheerfully took tickets simply marked excursion" They presently found themselves near Farnborough, in Surrey, where the aght occurred.-London Chronicle.

Parents Need Education

The figures which were recently
published In our Waterville exchange
covering the number Of days Of
school lost IN a weeks time because
of the large number of absentees, are
certainly instructive AZ well as
alarming As the figures show, out oil
an enrolment of about 400 stu
dents mot counting the High school
students) an average of at least 45e
pupils are affected week after week
because of absenteesim on their part
The number of full days lost In q
weeks time because of these absen-
tees would average in the neighbor-
hood of $50. Reckoning a school
year at 36 weeks of S days each, OF
1870 days, 1t will be seen at once that
in a weeks time some years OF
schooling for one pupil is lost.
1t would be interesting to learn
similar facts regarding our own
schools. II the same condition exists
here as In the schools OF our neigh
boring city, we should be In position
to take as heroic measures as In Wa
terville where the school board al
the request of the Superintendent, en-
gagged the services of two men to In
vestigate the excuse nuisance. BY a
method of investigation outlined by
the Superintendent, three results are
expected: First, reducing the num-
Der OF absences fifty per cent; second
enlarging the total attendance by as
certanlng the names of those within
the age limits who should be in
school; third, securing through a
more constant attendance, higher
grade of class room work.
Parents need to be educated into
requiring regular attendance
on the part of their children.
Nowadays, little furry of snow Ia
made the pretext for absences from
school. In the good old days, we can
remember when we crawled over five
foot drifts of snow to be marked pres
ent when the morning roll was call
ed. Nowadays parents heed too
much the whimpering of youngsters
who are sick unto death at O'Clock
in the morning and unable to go to
school, but who recover In sur
prislngly short space of time after
the morning school bell has rung.
Let the doting parents cooperate
with teachers to the end that their
children may learn the value OF an
education and the lesson to be taught
by punctual attendance at school.

ruary 8, In the Bethany Baptist

Prof. Sprague dealt with the vital
subjects of the day and the great
need of many changes In the educa-
tonal system of our country, as well
as other countries. Surely the Wo-

Back to the Soil

I'VE are not producing foodstuns
enough. We must enlarge the farm
ing area of the earth; we must apply
scientific principles to farming; we
must adapt ourselves to conditions as
best we can while we are going
through the slow, tedious process OF
making the soil yield more abundant
ly. Alphabetically speaking, the
earth is not over-populated anywhere.
There Is congestion In the cities. The
problem il to relieve this congestion
and scatter the unproductive popuia-
ton to the farms. Then, when we
get them there, we must teach them
how to farm better than nine-tenths
of our farmers now know.
II believe statistics would show that
not over half of the farms of the
United States are more than half un-
der cultivation every year."-James
]. Hill.
To roll the discussion up and, put
1t In a nut shell, II amounts to this:
that too many men are engaged In
making or handling the Injuries and
playthings of life with the result that
too few are producing the necessities.
Mr.. Hill says there 10 congestion In
the cities; men Of far less sagacity
know this only too we'll, and this
leads us to the question. Why II a
city? A city, we take 1t, 10 caused by
the necessity for great number OF
men to dwell in place where there
is much passing traffic. to handle 1t,
to import and export goods, to super
inteAd the large affairs Of commerce.
Then comes manufacturing with its
hundreds of hands to work, IT. hum
dreds OF mouths to feed: and all these
bodies depend upon the men out on
the farms to raise more than their
need that they may buy the surplus
For those that also toll the farmers
gladly produce food supply In ex-
change for goods and public service;
but to the millions that crowd the
great cities Watching here and there
for an opportunity to win . dollar
With q cents worth Of effort the mon
Of the coil are beginning to say, You
too. come out and help to feed the
world
This leads us to the question, Why
are deserted farmsi Because young
men hear the cali Of the lighted
streets Of congsstsd cities, and, for
! SETTING al but desire Tor fame and
