course of study In eight grades written
by Miss Baker last year az sophomore
work in pedagogics, at the state uni-
versity. Miss Baker had spent much
time preparing this manuscript, but
1t was time well spent. No wonder
that there is such demand for state
university girls as teachers. Mise
Baker will return to the university 10
1912 to continue her education.
We are very proud Of our girls, ~
they have ambition to get q broad
education and be independent.
Miss Ethel Williams will teach In
Routt county this year, and in 1919
she will enter the state normal
school, educating herself with her
earnings.
Miss Renora Ford will enter the
state university in 1912.
Miss Kracht made the highest In
arithmetic, and Miss Hartke the
highest in grammar. These gradu-
ates of 1911 Of the Rio Blanco county

My dear Professor Thompson
Miss Carrie Oldland was a student
teacher under my supervision during
the first semester, l8lO-l8l1, and did
work in the first grade, Whittier
school
placed her with Mrs. Bush, one
of our Oldest and best primary teach
ers, where found Miss Oldland cas-
lily adapting herself to the condition
of the room.
Miss Oldland is quiet In demeanor,
gentle-voiced, and young lady, it
seems to me, whose best work would
be among primary pupils. She i'm
proved daily. She took part in many
of the exercises of the room.
Mrs. Bush reports quite favorably
of her work. She impresses me as a
young lady of sterling character and
worth, and one whose influence over
young people would be marked and
wholesome. [Signedl

A frown developed on the counte

meals Il day, while l forbade you to

ed a Two Hours Talk.
The Hon. Peter Harvey, the friend
and biocrapher Of Daniel Webster,
was a large man with a small voice
and that pomposity of n that
many very difident men possess.
Above everything he valued and prid-
ed himself upon his friendship with
the great expounder."
The first year Of the war between
the states he went to Washington and
on his return was asked how he liked
President Lincoln.
"Well," he said, "Mr. Lincoln is a
very singular IA I went on to see
him and told him that I had been an
intimate personal friend Of Daniel
Webster; that I had talked with him
SO much on the affairs Of the country
that I felt perfectly confident I could
tell him exactly what Mr.. Webster
would advise In the present crisis, and
thereupon I talked to Lincoln for two
solid hours, telling him just what he
should do and what he should not do,
and, will you believe 1t, sir, when I
got through all MI. Lincoln said was.
as he clappcd his hand on my leg, Mr..
Harvey, what a tremendous great calf

Modern Inventors have been fairly
successful with the acceptance, but for
a long time two little animals have
used a similar principle in their sue
cessful flights. The flying squirrel and
the flying fish sail through the air and
rise and fall on an aeroplane of ma
lures invention.
Our common flying squirrel, with its
thin. winglike membrane stretched
tightly between the extended legs. is
a typical aeroplane. Thoreau in speak
ing Of such a squirrel says: 'It sprang
from a maple at a height Of twenty
eight and one-half feet from the ground
and landed easily and lightly on the
ground at the foot of another tree fifty
and one-half feet away. Its flight was
not a regular descent. 1t varied from
a straight line both horizontally and
vertically. 1t SKINNED much like !:

horizontal. There were six trees from
six inches to a foot in diameter be.
tween the beginning and the ending
of its fight. and these it skinned part.

thinner twigs. 1t did not. as l could
perceive. touch a single twig." Othe,
observers have seen crowds of these
little creatures in similar sportive gam
bols which seem to have no other OBJ
ject than p%layfulness or the mere pleas
ure of fight.-St. Nicholas.

QUEEN MARY OF ENGLAND,

sideration of weighty state matters is
radically different from the procedure
Of his father. The cabinet ministers,
1t is reported, now deal directly with
Queen Mary in state affairs. even
though the king is present. One rea-
son is that the members Of the cabi-
net have speedily recognized the
queens ability and insight into affairs
and also because of her remarkable
knowledge of presidents governing the
relation of the crown to ministerial
matters.
The queen is not partisan entirely
despite her previous Conservative and
anti-Liberal affiliations, and her advice
to the king is usually founded on con-
stitutional law and given with a de-
gree of Difference that pleases her roy
al helpmate.
AS an economist the queen is in the
foremost rank, us the royal household
we'll knows. She already has carried
out extensive retrenchments in the
private expenditures of her family.
The simplicity that she exacts Of 9th
ers Is well exemplif1ed in herself, but
wen this is not thoroughly appreci-
ated by many of the court officials.
Queen Mary also has a religious
streak Of pronounced character, and
her insistence on family prayers has
caused many Of the dumfounded court
aers to speak Of st. James as the econ
'venticle" and yearn for the gay days
of Edwards reign.
In the onward march Of economy the
queen has found an able assistant in
the Duchess of Devonshire, now mis-
tress of the robes, for she is rigidly
correct In everything, an enemy to fri
;volity. a fond mother and a most care
ful spender of money.
Along these lines Queen Mary has
decided that the royal residence. so
far as she can govern conditions, shall
be chiefly at Windsor. This insures
her children better air and also cuts
down the expense of entertaining, SC
necessary in maintaining the splendor
bf Buckingham palace.
Queen Alexandra does not enter
heartily into the economic campaign
and has complained bitterly that her
annual income Of $350,OOO is totally
inadequate. She has been obliged to
countermand many Improvements she
had planned at Sandringham and Is
fain to be content with the alterations
at Marlborough House, which the
state pays for.

Great Britain :
Now Ruled
BY Petticoat

PT may be news to many followers
Of the worlds history to hear
that Great Britain is now being
ruled by a petticoat government.
but such is the case If cable dis
patches from London are to be be-
lieved.
No; the dowager Queen Alexandra
is not the petticoated monarch, but
Queen Mary, consort Of his majesty
George v, king Of Great Britain and
Ireland. emperor of India, ETC., and
her sway is absolute. Not only does
the royal household, including the
king, bow before this despotism, but
the ministers of state have come to
recognize that the power Of the pres
ent regime lies not behind but ON the
throne in the person of the kings
beautiful consort.
The popular phrase at the our Of
st. James nowadays is. 81 must ask
May" but it is only uttered when
their majesties are not about, for roy
atty must not be mimicked. But this
is actually King Georges invariable
reply when matters concerning the
state or the household are put up to
him. The queen must always be con-
suited, and it is the queen who de-
cides.
Not long ago the matter Of the dis
position of the clothes and uniforms
of King Edward came up, and his son
was naturally asked what should be
done with them. But he had no plan
in mind and said, II must ask May"
The queen settled the matter and
most wisely, in the opinion Of her
husbands ministers, by suggesting
that the matter be properly referred
to Queen Alexandra. The royal widow
settled the matter by keeping her hus-
bands field marshal's uniform and Or
ders, distributing many small souve-
Mrs to personal friends and sending
the rest to the special relic room in
Buckingham palace.
The submission of George to his
queen in household matters is not a
surprise to his subjects, but his con

"TACKLING" A DUMMY.
Football Players Do Not Stand All the
Strain of Their Practice,

Football players have pretty severe
work cut out for them in practice as
we'll as when playing a champion
ship game, but they manage to dodge
some of the work and some of the dan
ger. "Tackling" a running player Is
dangerous for the tackler as well as
the tackled, and so mechanical genius
has been called into service to help
the athletes.
Life sized dummies" are used in
place Of live runners during much Of
the practice at "tackling." These dunn
mics, hitched to a pulley which slides
along a wire, are dragged across the
field at a rapid rate. They sway back
and forth as they are jerked along
and offer many difficulties to the play
err who would arrest their progress.
The practice the tackler gets is prac-
tically as valuable as if he had tackled

One of the company is sent from the
room. Another. who is in league with
the first, promises that when he holds
the wand. which may be a cane or
umbrella, over some member of the
company the exiled member will be
able to tell over whom. The door
must be left open. The confederates
explain that this is in order not to
interrupt the current Of electricity be-
tween them.
The magic monger allows the COM
pany to chat a few minutes after his
confederate has departed. Then he
suddenly breaks in upon the CONVERSE
ton. waving the wand and saying in
a sepulchral tone, 1.-THE wand passes"
The exile answers from the next room
very solemnly. LET 1t pass" Again
comes the announcement, THE wand
passes," and again the answer, LET
it pass" The third time the possessor
Of the wand holds it over some head
and inquiries. 1.-The wand rests yer
whom?"
Then is the exile promptly to an.
swer, "Over So-and-so," naming the
right person. The trick is accom-.
plished by having it arranged that
the confederate who remains in the
room shall hold the wand over the
person who spoke last before the an
nouncement. 1.-The wand passes" AL
the exile in the next room need be
able to do is to distinguish the voices
