Harry's School Marks.

Harry's mother talked to him long
and earnestly about the poor marks
he had been getting in his work at
school. She painted in alluring col
ors the career of the little boy who
studies his lessons and gains the
love and respect of his teachers. She
went even further. She promised
him that If he got good marks she
would give him whole dime for
his own. Harry seemed impressed.
That afternoon he returned from
school fairly dancing with Joy.

"Harry!" cried the delighted moth
er. She hugged him and kissed
him and petted him and-gave him
a dime. <
"And what did you get 100 in?"
she finally asked.
"In two things, replied Harry with
out hesitation. 81 got 40 in reading
and 60 in spellin'."

TICKLED THE CATFISH.
Yonkers Man Bears Tale from the
Streams of Kansas.

Back from a vacation spent IN
Kansas Grant Constable, of Yonkers
says so many streams in that State
fell so low during the drought that
catching fish by hand was favorite
sport, especially at Bennington, on

stable, "but I captured catfish,
without any help, that weighed 141
pounds. Yes, the weight was duly
sworn to before a notary public.
Here's the document"
And Constable pulled an official
looking paper from his pocket and
passed it auound group of listeners.
It certified that on July 81 Grant
Constable caught 141-pound cat
fish at Bennington, Kan, in the Solo
mon river, that he was unaided, and
that he caught the said fish with his
hands only.
"The Solomon is noted for its cat
fish, and the Solomon valley native
would turn up his nose at a noun
tain trout any time for steak Of q
Solomon river catfish of 40 or 60
pounds. During the dry spell most
of the tributaries of the Solomon
dried up, and the river was only a
succession of pools. In the deeper
pools the big fish we're found.
''In such a case the true profes-
sional scorns to use net or line. He
just wades around the pools and
puddles, feeling under rocks and
logs, where the fish hide. When you
find a fish you work your hands up
along his sides slowly. This sort OF
tickles him, and, if your hearing is
good, you can hear him purr like a
cat. You keep moving your hands
along and tickling him until you slip
your fingers in his gulls and hoist
him out.
"But you must be careful that you
don't ram your fist down his throat;
if you do he will clamp his jaws on

An Impossibility.

While Smith and Jones were OF
their annual walking tour they came
across dirty little urchin crying
in the road. Smith gave him a dime
and Jones wiped his eyes and then
as fitting crown to their kindness
they asked his age.
"Five," murmured the boy hold

"Surely not" expostulated Smith
The boy nodded and the few re
naming tears were sent furthel
down cheeks to leave their tracing'
on the smut.

SUCCESSOR TO BE ELECTED.
Governor Cannot Fill Vacancy Caus'
ed by Judge Kugh's Death.

Columbia, Oct. 13.-Judge J. G.
Klugh's death last night, at his home
lin Abbeville, devolves upon the gen
eral assembly the duty of electlng,
8 at it's 1912 session, some one to
serve out the unexpired portion of
his term as judge of the 9Th circuit.
Such vacancies are filed through ap-
spointment by the governor only when
less than twelve months remain OF
the term. Judge Klugh's term would
mot have ended until the latter part
sof 1914, so that the unexpired por-
stion consists of more than three
years-or, to be exact, of three years,
two months, thirteen days.
Pending the election OF. judge
to serve for the unexpired portion of
Judge Klugh's term-which election
Is due to take place during the legis-
lative session beginning in January
next-the court terms at which
Judge Klugh would have presided,
If he had lived and had been fit for
duty, will be provided for as pre-
vious terms assigned to him in regu-
lar course have been provided for;
that is, by the assignment OF other
circuit judges, temporarily disen-
gagged. to sit in his stead, or, in case
no circuit judge was disengaged, by
the appointment for. the term OF a
special judge by the governor, on the
recommendation of the chief justice
of the supreme court. 1t has been
many months since Judge Klugh was
able to go on circuit. His work has
mainly been divided among his
brethren on the circuit bench.
Judge Klugh was first elected to
the 8th circuit bench in February,
1897. He was several times re-elect-
ed and recommissioned by the gov
ernor, the last time being on Feb
ruary 26, 1910, "for the term expir-
ing December %, 1914" according
to the inscription on the appoint
ment book in the Office of the Sec

A Delicate Problem.

Parson Johnson, an evangelist OF
color, was caught hugging one of the
finest "ewe' lambs of the congrega-
tion, who was very popular young
Lady, and it created quite stir. So
Brudder Johnson was brought uI
for trial.
"You have seen these great pic
lures, I suppose, so you know dat
de great Shepherd am always pictur-
ed with a lamb in his arms" said
Brudder Johnson.
Eyes, sab, pahson, dat am so" ad-
mitted Deacon Jones'.
"Den, Brudder Jones, what am
wrong in the shepherd of dis flock
having a lamb in his srms?"
This was too much for Brudder
Jones, so he proposed that the peo-
pie have a call meeting that after
noon. After the point was discuss
ed at the afternoon meeting the fol-
lowing resolution was adopted:
"Resolved, Dat for the future
peace of the congregation, dat the
next time Brudder Johnson feels
called on to take lamb oh de flock
in his arms, dat he pick out ram

Cutting scrape at Ehrhardt.

Ehrhardt, Oct. 15.-Some excite
ment was created Thursday after
noon when an alteration between
two men brought into play several
knives. AS result, Lee Brown was
seriously stabbed in the head and
back. The trouble began in Mr.. J.
H. Shaw's store. A number Of per-
sons were implicated, but 1t Is sup
posed that the serious cutting was
done by John Frank Connolly. It
is not known what caused the bad
blood.
Congressman Byrnes was In town
on Thursday and it was the good
pleasure of the school to have him
address the students on Thursday
morning. The address was carefully
thought out and well delivered, hav-
ing to deal with important school
problems of the present day. He
urged all the pupils to be punctual
in their attendance at school, to take
advantage of the present day oppor-
tunities, for, said he, according to
fstatistics, for every day high school
pupil stays out of school he loses,
from a material standpoint, at least
SO a day." Congressman Byrnes
said that he loved to talk to boys
and girls, but he would rather appeal
to their parents.
The school here Is progressing
satisfactorily. A larger attendance
than ever is recorded. The high
school is stronger than ever. But
just the fact that new building Is
about to be begun lends special en-
couragement to both pupils and
teachers. Last summer bonds to the
extent of $4,000 were voted for the
erection of new building. The site
for the building is not yet selected,
but plans are soon to be submitted
by the architect and the contract Will
be let within the next sixty days.

The chief cause of a dreadful rail-
way tragedy in Wisconsin recently
was huge billboard that so obscur-
ed the view as to shut of the sight
Of an approaching train. If that
fact helps to do away with such signs
some good will result from the dis
aster. Billboards are a monstrosity
that disfigure the landscape, and as
an advertising medium they are
about the poorest Experience has
proved this time and again, and ex-
periments in advertising have not
only shown the well nigh uselessness
of billboards but also that the very
best kind of advertising is that which
is found in the columns of the home
paper.
