Miss Hyacinth Wells was an old
maid II she hadn't been an old
maid she wouldn't have been the
owner and principal of the Wells
school for young ladies'. Old maids
have fondness for opening schools
Tor young ladies. It's their way OF
getting revenge for never having had
any romance In their own lives.
They become watch dogs and tyrants
and gloat over 1t.
When Miss Jean Kelly arrived at
Ravendale and the Wells school with
her mother, she was left In the parlor
while the mother and Miss Wells re-
tired to a private room to have
confidential conversation. Miss Jean
was to be sequestered on account OF
her being in love at nineteen. She
was as good as engaged to a very
determined young man, who was two
years older He had said to the
mothers face after being turned down
that he would marry Jean II he had
to wait a hundred years. 1t had taken
the strongest kind of parental authori-
ty to bring the girl to the school, and
she was to be kept there as pupil
and a prisoner. No letters must be
received or sent without being read.
AS she walked out on the ground,
guards must be stationed to watch. II
allowed outside the grounds two
guards must accompany her.
She had been hurried from home,
SO that the determined man might
not get track Of her, but in case he
did he would be known by scar on
his chin. Miss Wells was to look for
scar.
Trust me-" replied Miss Wells,
when she heard the full particulars
There Is neither love nor romance
under this roof. My young ladies are
taught that this world would be al
together better off without men
Thomas and William are old and
crippled, and they are the only two
males around this sacred institution

MADE IT IN RECORD TIME
Wager That Was Won by Golf Enthu-
siast In Spite Of Odds That
Were Heavy.

Golf enthusiasm has probably
caused more argument and unique
wagers than any other branch Of
sport" says G. ]. Nathan In Outing.
For instance:
"No more amusing illustration Of
this enthusiasm can be cited than the
wager that was made several years
ago by former national champion
with a number of his friends on the
Garden City course. While in the heat
of discussion over the fine points
OF the game, the ex-champion de-
clared that he could play the 18 holes
of the Garden City course In less than
one hours time and in 95 strokes or
better. In view of the fact that the
course covers about 5000 yards and
that 1t usually takes about two hours
to make this distance of more than
three miles, 1t is quite super1uous to
say that his offer was snapped up on
the spot. It was decided. furthermore,
to settle the matter at once.
Procuring two caddies. the player
ordered one Of them to follow him and
the other to keep on ahead after the
ball. The course Is comparatively tiat
and the gallery mounted bicycles to
keep pace with the golfer who had
set out to make speed record over
the course. At the cry COL from the
timekeeper. he started. Keeping con
stantly on the run and shouting Out
to the caddy the club he intended tt
use next. he dashed around the entire
course In exactly 46 minutes. making
| the is holes In 81 strokes, according
TO the tally, and thereby winning y
odd wager - has ever been laid b

TOBACCO IN FAR OFF ALASKA
Resources Of Miners When They Can
Neither Smoke Nor
Chew.

81 can match the story you were
telling Of the cracker women in North
Carolina who use snuff by spreading
It over the gums with a chewed stick"
said the man from Alaska to- the
southerner next him, "by telling how
miners and soldiers In Alaska tie to-
bacco In the arm pits or against their
solar plexus in place Of taking 1t as
smoke or chew.
when the wind is blowing 30 miles
an hour and the temperature is 40 be-
low IL Is some cold, as they say out
west II a man used tobacco in the
ordinary way out of doors during such
weather and got his lips wet through
smoking a pipe or chewing he would
be apt to get into trouble. First thing
he knew he'd have his lips cracked
and they would be raw all winter long,
THE regulars stationed at the mill
tary posts up in Alaska found that II
they tied a tobacco leaf in their arm
Dit previous to undesired duty they
would become very sick and could
pass the post surgeon for hospital, get
avoid.
The miners up there learned some
thing of this and found that the to-
bacco craving could be satisfied by
binding a quantity Of the leaf either
in the armpit or against the solar
plexus. This avoided broken and
bleeding lips during the winter. and
they weren't prevented from smoking
indoors as well If they wanted to. 1t
was the outdoor smoking or chewing
that made all the trouble.
mo, l haven't tried IT," said the
Alaska man, but DO know that the
habit is very common up north in the
long Arctic winter among men who
spend their lives in the open. 1t is
the queerest way to use tobacco

have ceased to think of the young
man."
Miss Wells expected to find a sulky
and obstinate young lady in Miss
Jean, but was agreeably disappointed.
The new pupil settled right into place
and gave no trouble. Instead of sulk-
ing she sang. There were fifteen
other girls, and while all of them
constantly kicked about the weak
soups and the oleomargarine on the
thin slices of bread. Miss Jean
thought 1t was romantic. No other
woman in the world would have sus-
pected her of duplicity. but Miss Wells
did. Her heart and hand had never
been sought by determined young
man, but she could figure that If such
had been the case she would not have
given him up SO easily. A mother
might be hoodwinked, but an old maid
never.
And Miss Wells vigilance was soon
rewarded. Within four weeks she
opened the prison door to young
man with pencil and notebook In
hand. He was taking the census of
the country. That scar? 1t was
| there!
go away, sir" cried Miss Wells.
and the door was banged on his heels.
A week later, when the grocer's
delivery boy drove up to the kitchen
through the back gate, Thomas passed
him with grumble. Something
warned Miss Wells. She left class
to walk through to the kitchen, and
behold, the grocer's boy was young
mani And the scar? Yes. 1t was
there; but though he was driver
away he went with his head UP and
a determined look on his face.
Then the various small boys earned
various quarters by hanging around
the grounds. but they failed in theil
attempts II they had notes to deliver
One day one OF the girls gashed hel

SCHOOL NOTES.

This promises to be a success
full school year. Many teachers at
tended the summer schools, others
studied at home, and all seem to
be enthusiastic about the work.
The new law requires Agricul-
ture to be taught. This is a very
important subject and will not on
ly be very .interestint but also
very profitable. Patrons will find
much Of interest and value In the
textbook on Agriculture. Every
farmer should read it.
Many school boards are improv-
ing the school property and in
creasing the equipment. Much
more needs to be done along this
line.
Recently the Standard contained
friendly criticism by the Min
neola correspondent on our work
at the institute. ! do not know
who the correspondent is, but
consider the criticism timely, and
accept 1t with good grace. We
were criticised last year because
we insisted on more efficient
teaching OF English. A great num-
ber OF pupils fail in other subjects
even in mathematics, because they
are deficient in English. I wish
to assure the correRp ondent, how
ever, that we do not neglect the
discussion OF the teaching OF Eng
lish at our teachers meetings The
last one was probably an excep-
ton in> this respect. Last years
programs show that y due portion
OF time was given to the teaching
oil English. We cordially invite
the correspondent to meet will
us In our next teachers meeting
and take part In the discussions.

requires pupils to attend at less
thvee-f -fourths of the tinas. TN
