WINNING a Great VICTORY.

Clark James, II years old, with
his hands skinned and bleeding
from rough work, came into the
Salem County school with Rays
Third Part of Arithmetic, and an
nounced, "Say, I came here to
work the third problem under the
Connecticut rule in partial pay
ments." Not a boy or girl had
worked in three years, but James
said, 81 know it, but I propose to
work it if / don't do another
thing this winter Then a boy
Ecould elect arithmetic as his major
and minor and have no grammar
or history, and buckle down to
arithmetic all the forenoon and all
the afternoon.
James worked on his problem
all the first forenoon, during part
of the lunch hour, all the after
noon and most Of the night. 1T
was the same the next day. About
IL O'Clock he asked the teacher
a question about the problem.
We all thought the teacher him
self couldn't work it. About 2
O'Clock a great whoop went up
from where Clark James sat. He
had worked the problem correct
lily.
Certainly he never had a finer
thrill of joy and victory in his
life, not that I care much for that
sort of a problem or what he did
to it. but for what the problem
did to him. It was a trial of his
strength, a challenge to him.
Working it was a great feat. We
do care for the spirit he showed.
Clark James brought interest and
thought to that fschool.-nlinois

Announcement was made last week
of the sale of the famous Murchison

pany to Ward F. Brown of Punxsutaw-

chasers are widely known operators
Of Pennsylvania, and the passing of
this tract OF vigin timber into hands

undeveloped for lack of railway faci-

probably that Buncombe will be asked

Every one went up on the roof and
left him to his mystery. Anne drank

half-closed eyes. an attitude that bod

running around like a pair of children.
It was quite certain that neither his
escape from death nor my accusation
weighed heavily on him.
While Aunt Selma was busy with
the time Jim had swallowed an open
safety pin. and Just as the pin had
been coughed UP. or taken out of his
nose-I forget which-Jim himself ap-
peared and sulkily demanded the pri-
vacy of the roof for his training hour.
Yes, he was training. Flanagan
claimed to know the system that had
reduced the president to what he Is,
and he and Jim had a seance every
day which left Jim feeling himself for
bruises all evening. He claimed to be
losing flesh; he said he could actually
feel 1t going, and he and Flanagan

nails. and when they had finished they
carried it to the roof and put 1t in a
corner behind the tent. Everybody
was curious, but Flanagan refused
any information about 1t, and merely
said 1t was part of his system. Dal
said that If he had anything like that
in his system he certainly would be
glad to get rid Of 1t.
