WHAT CIGARETTES DO
Boys Who Smoke Them Are Not
Able to Pass Examina-
tionS for Promotion

A principal in one of the California
high schools has just finished little
investigation OF his own among his
boys. He knew that lot of them
were smoking and he also knew that
a lot of the students were not get
ting promoted. SO very quietly he
went about gathering information just
to see whether the cigarettes had any
thing to do with getting left. This is
what he found:
"Of the whole number enrolled, 46
per cent or nearly half, were to-
bacco users. Only 10 per cent of the
tobacco boys graduated from four
years course, and half of these had to
take five years to it.
"Of those who did not smoke, Al per
cent graduated Thirty three per cent
made high enough records to enter the
state university Not a single one of
the tobacco users during the whole
time graduated with scholarship high
enough for recommendation to the uni
verSity."
These are figures. They speak for
themselves.

HOW THINGS GROW
The New Study Will Commence
in the Lowest Grades of
the Grammar Schools

All over the United States and Canada
teachers and principals and school SUI
perintendents are urging the need Of
studying agriculture; how things grow,
where they grow, which Is the best way
to make them grow, what can best be
done with them after they are grown
In this new movement California is not
going to be behind. Already we have
two schools, the California polytechnic
school at San Luis Obispo and the uni
versity farm school at Davis. Here the
older boys and young men go to learn
by actually growing things themselves
But it isn't the plan of those who are
most interested in this to have only the
older boys take up agriculture; it is
their hope to see it a study subject in
all the schools, even down to the very
first grades. 1t will begin among the
babies very simply, perhaps with a few
little window boxes in the city schools
and actual little gardens of their own
in the country towns. The second grade
will be more advanced and so on, up
and up. until at last when the pupil
graduates, he will have a good practical
knowledge of farming. Then, If he
Importance and opportunities there are

higher agricultural schools that will in

doubtfully have proved its value, and in
many, judging by the numbers of stu
dents, agriculture is among the favorite
studies Here In California the oppor-
tunities are great with our wonderful
climate, our variety of products. Our
agricultural methods should lead, and
they viii. In a few years from now
there Will not be a school I'm the state
without this new branch, in the cities
as well as In the country Year by year
thousands of men and women are COM
ing to understand that our cities are
OVercrowded and our farms neglected,
and people are moving out into the
open country. But a man can't grow
things successfully unless he knows
how, and he can't learn by himself.
Those in authority know this and so
they are urging, study agriculture In
the schools"

THE MAINE DISASTER
The Captain of the BattleShip
Tells How 1t Was Blown Up
in the Harbor of Havana

Twelve years ago last Tuesday the
American battleship Maine was sunk In
the harbor OF Havana and the Spanish
war was begun. Rear Admiral Charles
ID. Sigsbee, commando. of the Maine,
mas written an account Of that awful
night which brings the whole before us
SO that we can actually see the horrors
Of it.
The easterly breeze died down at
sundown and the Maine swung with her
head to the northwest. Night came on,
dark, sultry, overcast, ominous. Quiet
reigned over the harbor. At 8 o'clock
the crew turned in. Some of the Off
GERS were in their staterooms or in the
messrooms below. Others were loiter-
ing about on the upper deck I was
sitting at a table in my cabin At taps
10 minutes after O'clock, 1 laid down
my pen to listen to the notes. I had
Just inclosed a letter written to my
famly-then the explosion came The
time was 20 minutes to 10. There was
rocking jar of the ship as she keeled
to port and tipped by the head. This
was accompanied by a roar of great
volume The light went out. There
was only bfackness and silence where
| sat. From outside the ship great
geyser Of fame and dense, dark smoke
was seen to ascend from the forward
half of the hull, carrying with it vast
number Of fiery missiles. That half of
the ship rose bodily and plunged be-
meath the water. The smoke rolled out
into an oyerhanging canopy, partly OBJ
scuring the ship, and then gradually
cleared away. -;
The forward half of the vessel was
left a torn and twisted mass of con-
fused metal, beyond all hope of resti-
tuition. The fire started in the i'm
mense mass of debris piled amidshps,
from which small she'll were pro.
jected till 1870 o'clock in the morning
when the Names hull was virtually
submerged she was abandoned by the
few people left on board, all going to
the American merchant steamer, the
City of Washington, lying near. L my
self was one of the party.
Day by day bodies were recovered
from the harbor and the wreck, so it
was days before the full statistics of
the dead could be gathered. The sor-
rowful final result was 200amen killed
including two officers.

An Incident In the Life OF n Man
with n Liking for Chickens.
Abner stood upon one foot back OF the
judges barn and was glad that the night
was dark and that the darkness matched
his complexion almost 70 a shade. says
the Dallas News.
Up in the big house the lights had gone
cut. but Abuer's present intentions and
existing frame Of mind made his ears de-
eeIve him.
Certainly he had heard something. The
chicken houses were not locked. He
knew that because everybody in the
neighborhood knew the Judge depended
on Don and Major 10 protect the fowls.
Don and Major. though, ne happened to

and logically wouldn't be back before
early milking time
Abner listened fearfully. with his sneak
ing nineteen-year-oId soul a-cniver with
fears. Then he cautiously stepped soft
ly toward the chicken house.
With his hand on the latch he listened
again. Then he slipped within.
Almost Immediately from the stable
arose most unholy noise. a trumpet
blast that shattered the stiffness as a
hammer skaters pane of glass.
'Er-hongk; er-hOngk! Er-hon-n-nsk,'
1t was merely a mule but to Abner IL
seemed something between a demon and
locomotive. He butted about in the
chicken house and knocked down a whole
roost The noise became deafening.
There was a mighty scrambling. cack-
ling, fiutter Of fowls rending OF broken
wood Abner, seeking the door, TANNED
his head against the wall.
Lights began to spring up in the big
white house, and an opening door showed
the Judge himself, scantily attired in a
nightgown and bearing double-barreled
gun.
Bang. bang," roared the gun.
Here, Dom Here Major roared the
judge, racing barelegged toward the
chicken houses
But Abner was outside now and racing
for life itself He plunged into the creek

his home and crawled into the cot he
