Second Session Parish Teachers Institute
(Contributed.)

The second meeting of the Tensas Par
ish Public School Teachers of l9ll-l2 was
held at Waterproof, December 8-9,
With characteristic Southern hospital
ity the good people of. our sister city
threw open their homes and entertained
the Tensas Parish teachers. From the
moment of arrival, when the guests were
met by reception committee, until the
good-byes were waved from the depart
ing train, pleasure and entertainment
were provided for Che visitors.
Miss Morris, the charming represent
alive of the State Public School Improve
ment League, was present and added
much to the success of the meeting by
her talks with the teachers, and the lec-
ture she gave to the citizens of the town
in the evening.
The first session OF the Inst,tit. as
held at three O'Clock Friday moon,
in the high school-room, M 81.
Harper presiding as director.
A lesson in History by Miss Whitney,
and model lesson in English by Miss
Lynch, were followed by Instructions in
school management and school laws by
the Superintendent.
Miss Morris responded to the call for
an address by an all-too-short discussion
OF the responsibility of the teachers and
the various types that are leading youths
into the fuller light.
Mr.. Harper so conducted the class in
Secondary Education that the members
little realized the flight OF time, and the
period was over.
Miss Mcfarland in her own inimitable
way led the grade teachers in the discus
sion of ''The Teacher and the School. +"
The roll on Saturday morning was
answered by quotations from the reading
course.
Miss Buckner's type lesson in fourth
grade language was most interesting, and
warmly applauded.
The debate, Resolved, The assign
ment is more important than the recita-
/ ton proper" was ably defended by Mr.
Smith, Miss Couvillon and Miss Guyton,
against Mr.. Whipple, Miss Evans and
Miss Duncan. The decision was rem
dered in favor of the negative, whose
cause was so warmly espoused by Mr.
Whipple, that when the votes wert
counted two were discovered for Mr.
Whipple, the side he represented having
been forgotten.
An exciting game Of basket ball wal
played on the campus by the two teams
Of Waterproof, and the honors hotly con
tested. The visitors were impressed b.
theirskill and training, and in fancy saw
victory browning them in all future Ell
forts.
The Institute fosters the feeling o
comradeship in the corps Of public schoo
teachers of the parish, and kindles tina
spirit Of pride and efficiency that is tn
sine qua non OF success.
To our hosts we extend thanks, to thu
students our appreciation Of courtesies
and to the teachers Of the Waterproof
school, our congratulations.
Long may that institution live to re
fleet honor upon her citizens, and b
their cherished pride. Great is the in
fiuence Of lofty ideals, for on the schoc
rests the responsibility of the country
Tomorrow.

FORBIDDEN TERRITORY.
United States Excludes South Ameri.
can ReYolutionists.

Those who are engaged in promoting a
revolutionary propaganda in South Amer
lean republics are evidently beginning to
realize that the United States is bad
ground upon which to launch an expedi-
ton or to use as base of supplies.
Reports from N. A. Grevstad, American
minister to Uruguay and Paraguay, indi-
cate that those who are heading the revo-
lutionary movement in Paraguay suppos-
edly procured In Europe a navy consist
ing of two small vessels with rifles and
ammunition and artillery.
Mr.. Grevstad, whose headquarters are
at Montevideo, Uruguay. went to Asun-
cion last week to present his credentials
to the Paraguayan government and re-
turned to his post Sunday. BY sending
his reports from Montevideo he escapes
the. Paraguayan censorship.
His BILE confirms the report emanating
from Buenos Aires that a revolution has
broken out. He reports that this revolu-
ton is led by Senior Gondra, recently
President Of Paraguay, and Senior Sherer.
These men are supposed to have pur-
chased the contraband goods in Europe.
Since he left Paraguay the American
minister has received little information as
| to the course of events, as the telegraph
wires have been cut. However, he re-
ports that American interests are not
threatened.
The belief is general, according to Min
! lister Grevstad, that ex-President lara
who succeeded President Gondra as chief
executive of Paraguay, but who resigned
| last summer, in favor of the present in
| cumbent, President Rojas, Is aligning
himself with the government.

Refused to Appoint Payne.

Bob. I may not be able to appoint
Hoard. but I will say to you that Henry
Payne shall not be a member Of my
cabinet
when 1 saw Mckinley at the White
House the following winter he told me
how the effort to secure Payne's appoint
ment had eliminated. He said that
Hanna had come to him just before his
final decision was made and said: You
may wipe out every obligation that You
feel toward me, and I'll ask no further
favors of you, if you'll only put Henry
Payne in the cabinet.
'tMckinley's answer was: Mark. !
would do anything in the world could
for you, but 1 cannot put a man in my
cabinet who is known as a lobbyist.
And he kept his word.
Mr. Payne got in the cabinet in 1901,
however, when President Roosevelt ap-
pointed him Postmaster General.

Mckinley and Reed Compared.


In discussing the affairs Of the So
called Reed Congress" of 1881 SEN
ator La Toilette draws an interesting
comparison between William Mckinley
and Thomas B. Reed.
Mckinley and Reed were not at all
alike he says Mckinley drew men to
him by the charm, courtliness and kindli-
ness of his manner; Reed drove and
forced men; he scourged them with his
irony-stung them with lis wit. Mckin-
ley was a magnetic speaker; he had a
clear, bell-like quality of voice, with a
thrill i'll 1t. He spoke with dignity. but
his eyes would dilate until they were al
most black, and his face, naturally with
out much color, would become almost like
MARBLE strong face and noble head.
When interrupted, either in a. speech or
debate, instead of seeking to put his man
at a disadvantage. as Reed did, he sought
to win him. He never had a harsh word
for harsh word, but rather kindly ap-
peal: Come now, let us put the personal
element aside and consider the principle
involved
Reed. on the other hand, impressed
one with his power. He was rough and
sharp and strong. He was one of the
ablest men in either house of Congress
next to Sherman, who was broader
statesman, perhaps the ablest. He had a
marvellous gift Of expression His SEN
fences were short, crisp, strong, and his
dtction was perfect, but his voice was
hard and disagreeable. especially in its
higher notes. AS a debater he has rarely
been eQualed in our public life; he had a
caustfc wit, was often sarcastic, ironical.
fcally lay hold of his opponent shake him
for few minutes like some great mastiff
and then drop him into his seat all crum-

LAMB is BlEATING,

WASHINGTON, Nov. %. = Tes-
tifying before the house committee
that is investigating the steel trust,
today Alfred Merritt, of Duluth, re-
lated the story of his Fleeing at the
hands of Rockefeller and his ac-
cgmplices. He asserted that he
was induced by F. G. Gates. the sec
retary of Rockefeller, to pledge his
holdings in the Mesaba mines and
abroad valued at seven millions,
as security for a loan of less than
a million dollars. When the time ar
rived for the payment of the loan,
says Merritt, the steel crowd so
manipulated matters that he was UNI
able to raise the necessary cash, and
he forfeited all of his holdings.
