GOV. WILSON SINGS
MY old KENTUCKY HOME
Solo Feature Of Banquet by
Pittsburg Harvard
Club.

Pittsburg, Pa, May Lone Of the
special features at the banquet given
by the local Harvard alumni in honor
of President Lowell, of the University
at the University Club was a solo
sung by Gov. Wilson, OF Kentucky
who was one of the honored guests.
In compliment to the Governor the
entire company was singing "My Old
Kentucky Home" The chorus to
the second verse had been roared out,
when President Percival Eaton stop
ped the orchestra and announced that
Gov. Wilson would sing the third
verse as a solo. Opinions may differ
as to whether Kentuoky's Governor
can really sing, but there is no room
to question the approval with which
his effort was received. The company
gave the closest and quietest atten-
ton, and joined with him when he
reached the chorus, and after that
they gave him all the famous Harvard
yells and slogans Of approval in the
repertoire. Then they made him sing
the verse a second time.

The Consolidated School Question

Shall we have consolidated schools,
or shall we not? This is one of the
public questions most talked OF among
those interested in the best and most
economical way to educate the chill
dren of the State. In an address CIV
en- by State Superintendent Eggles-
ton, of Virginia, he gives the follow
ing as some of the good reaosns why
Wa should have consolidated schools:
The verdict is we'll nigh unanimous
that the one room school for all the
children of the community is not,
and cannot be the ideal place for a
complete educational development.
In the average one-room school the
teacher has from thirty to forty class
es in the six hours school days. This
gives about ten minutes to recita-
ton Thousands of teachers in the
South have not ever eight minutes
for a recitation. The time of the
children is thus very largely wasted.
Thousands upon thousands of our
children sit in the school-room day
after day waiting two or three hours
for the next recitation. No one knows
those things better than the teachers,
who are powerlsss to remedy the con-
dltions.. These facts alone are suf-
ficient to demand a change from the
crowded one and two room school
to something better The large, CEN
trally located school gives opportuni-
ty for a good grading OF children.
The increased number OF children be-
gets an enthusiasm and interest that
are often lacking in the small school.
We find that in these large schools
the behavior is better; there is more
earnestness of purpose; the children
ara mentally more alert; they are
more ambitious, because the higher
grades give them something to look
up and forward to. And 1t is much
easier to secure a good teacher TO
fiji vacancy in a large school than
in a small one She has none asso-
citation with other teachers; her work
rs far less trying and wearing. and
she has the satisfaction OF seeing the
children make better progress.
There are ten objections to cmso-
lidating schools and transporting
children Eight of these objections
are imaginary; the other two anereal
These two are bad roads and sparslty
OF school population. and they are APP
plicable In only comparatively few
communities in the State. Our roads
are being made better all the time
and even bad. very bad roads would
not prevent transportation OF chill
dnen. OF course. good roads would
make II easier and more pleasant.

A BIBLE STORY.

A few weeks ago a pitiful case was
brought out in Police Court trial
in Kentucky town of about 1000 in
habitants, situated in a large agri-
cultural and mining county above
the average in wealth and intelli-
gence. A travelling book agent had
sold a bible to a lady for $4.75, TAX
ing a note therefore which was sign
ed by the woman, who also signed
her husbands name. In the course OF
time this nO.e, having ben deposited
in a certain bank for collection and
not being paid when it fell due, was
placed in the hands Of attorneys who
brought suit against the woman and
her husband in the aforesaid police
court. The woman testified that she
and her husband owned no property
of any value; that he could not read
nor write and that she had signed
the note under a misrepresentation
that II was merely a memoranda or
contract showing that she had pur-
chased the bible and how much she
should pay for it. She said that she
had always longed for a bible, one
that would contain a family record
wherein she could record the births
of her two bright eyed little chill
dren who played around her while
she was ON the witness stand and
that she thought that she could pay
for ii with her surplus chickens last
year, but that on top of other misfor-
TUNES the chickens had all died, and
tears came to her eyes as she told
how it broke hsr heart to have to
give up the bible after she had been
permitted to read it for several
months. Under the hard rules OF law,
judgement went against her but a
number of bystanders and attorneys
who were deeply touched by the WON
ans recital agreed that she should
have the bible at all cost, and at the
Conclusion of the trial her attorney
went down the strest to a book store
and bought a beautiful bible with a
family record which he presented to
the woman who went away with a
bright face and a light hart. No
gentle reader, this did not happen in
China, Koreao T even Africa, but in
HARTFORD, ky. 1t is true story
and is given for the benefit of many
of our people who work over time
and remain awake of nights worry
ing about the heather in other lands,
when within less than ten miles OF
our town our own people are long
ing for copies of the christians BIZ
Bile, but who are without means to
purchase it and doubtless frequently
are too proud TO admit it.

morning newspapers could be put be-
fore every New York family reading
English newspapers about one mill
lion day--for some 5000" This
brings the conclusion that "newspa-
pcr publicity, as TO direct cost alone,
Is the cheapest there is, by many,
many times"
II should not require any argument
to convince the average business man
that newspaper advertisements are
Rad vastly more extensively than cir
cular advertisements. Possibly there
are some persons who conscientious
ly read such advertising as is sent
them by mail, but the great majority
emphatically do not AS to the adj
vertising matter that is thrown into
front yards, on porchss or under door
the amount of it that is read is so
enthusiastically small that it is to be
wondered at that any progressive
firm should resort to II under the
deluded impression that 1t will help
the trade
1t is undoubtedly fact that
large amount of money is wasted
every day in advertising by the cir
cular methpd-money that could be
profitably spent in buying space in
newspapers. All circulars advertising
is not Naluless, but much of it is
mere waste of money and it is easily
susceptible of proof that better re-
suits can be obtained from Newspaper
publicity at a smaller expenditure.

be done over most any kind of road
provided the people- are inte1ligenfly
interested in their school. But after
all elise has been said, the best argu-
ment for consolidation and transpor-
tation is that they get more children
into school, keep them there better
and for longer time, and give them
opportunity for more rapid progress"

chap from the tepee, sslung him across
his horses back and rode away. In
time the warrior tired of carrying the
scared baby on his horse. So he
dropped him at the door of Pluto

There the youngster was cared for
and was adopted as a member of the
inmates family. He was named
"Ehegante." title the white man aft
erward shortened to "Egan." And by
the latter name he is best known to,
history. Egan grew to be a man
nificent specimen Of manhood. From
early youth he showed himself a ruler
of men. At twenty he married the
daughter of a chief, and soon after
ward became leader Of one of the
Pluto tribes. He won fame in a Sc.
ries of fierce campaigns against neigh
boring Indians and later fought with
desperate valor against the white from
tiersmen and Gen. Crooks troops.
Stolen Child Becomes Chief.
In 1872 he led his wandering tribe
to the reservation near Malheur, in
Eastern Oregon, where about a thou
sand Bannock, Pluto and Snake In
dams were already gathered. There
Egan met Major Parish, the local In
dian agent. The two men became
warm friends. At Parish's request
Egan laid aside all ideas of future
warfare and taught his people to be-
come farmers. So great was his in
fluence with the FLUTES that he actual
ly got them to drop their wandering
life and take to agricultural work. The
Indian department at Washington
looked on this as triumph, and prais.
ed Egan to the skies.
Egan backed Parish's authority in
everything. When Oytes, a Pluto

throw away the hoe for the rife and
declared himself proof against any
bullet, Egan seized the medicine man
by the throat, dragged him before Par
ish and babe the agent test the boast
by firing bullet at Oyte's heart. The
medicine man wilted at this unexpect-
