determination to carry out the idea of
using some fifty public school houses as
polling places and it is to be hoped
that the school board will cooperate
in putting this plan into operation.

house where the citizen of the future is
trained, should be the scene of the

Had Learned His Lesson.

"A fireman was up for examination
for promotion to THE position as en-
gineer. He passed fair test ON the
rules and machinery, but during all
of it the examiner was constantly
occurring hmm as to the need Of econ
omy in the use of fuel and oil, SO
that by the time he finished his ex-
animation it was pretty well on his
nerves.
Having finished the technical part
the examiner thought he would put
the man In critical position to see
what he might do In an emergency
So he put to him the question:
"SuppoSing you are the engineer OF
a freight train on single track, and
you are In a ihead-end collision with a
passenger train and you know that
you could not stop your train, that a
collision could not be averted what
would you do?
The man, unstrung by the vigOr-
Gus instruction he had received as to
economy, replied in this way: why,
I would grab the OH can in one hand
and a lump OF coal in the other and
jump. From the Atohison Globe.
The doer, not the dreamer, breaks
The baleful spell
Which binds with iron hands the
earth
On which we dwell.
