CHICKEN ROAST IN SCHOOL
Iowa Rural Teacher Makes SCHOOL,
house Center of Social Life
Of the District.

Il is as true as It is strange that
in Iowa many rural schols are so at
tractive that city boys are sent out
of the city to attend the rural school.
i know one country school In which
there are six children from city
schools. A Chicken roast" is the lat
est school attraction that have
known. A teacher Is making the
sohooihouse the center OF social life
for the district. She does not like
the idea Of having a dance In the
school, and she will not have kissing
fracases, 30 she plans various social
functions with stunts and games that
have abundance of life, that are new,
that are harmless. She does quite q
little along the line of refreshments,
and every one takes q part in the
preparation as well as IN disposing Of
the feast The greatest success she
has ever had was a chicken roast. 1t
was In the autumn, and was In the
school yard. II was a close approach
to a barbecue. Every man, woman
and child In the district was there.
Nothing else has ever aroused such
an interest In the Kile district.-Jour-
nal of Education.

Some hIsto rIeaI Stamps.

Many intensely interesting histori
cal events have been recorded in post
age stamps so that a large collection
OF stamps often shows In a most stri-
king manner how history was made.
There is a period of French history
which is particularly interesting in
this way because the stamps issued at
that time so plainly show the changes
In the ruling power from monarchy to
republic and back again.
On one French stamp you see Mons.
Barrels head OF Liberty and the words
Republic France" On the following
issue of stamps-those issued In 1879
Louis Napoleon's head appears in
stead of the Liberty, the words on
the stamp being still Republic
France" After that there was new
stamp, on which Louis Napoleon's
head still appeared, but the words
Republic France" were replaced by
Empire France"

NEW YORK STILL A FUR STATE,

That the reputation Of the state OF
New York as fur bearing district
has not been entirely lost and that
that reputation so far as Wayne
county is concerned is still being
kept up is shown by the fact that APP
proximately $4,000 worth of furs
were shipped to New York by one
dealer during the fall of 1910 and
so far during 1911.
Since the season opened last fall
he has bought furs as follows: Fifty
thousand muskrats, 10000 skunks,
500 raccoons, 600 minks, 800 red
foxes, 500 ermine, which make 6
total of over $4,000 skins. Undoubt-
eddy this does not represent the en-
tire catch, for there are probably
other dealers.-Newark IN. ~

SERVED HIS TIME AT SEA
Youthful Experiences Of Sir Walter
Runeiman, Author Of a Recent
Book on Napoleon.

Sir Walter Runciman, author of the
book on Napoleon, THE Tragedy of
St. Helena" is a Scotsman. The sea
early fascinated him, and at the age
OF twelve he ran away from home,
tramped to a northeast coast port, and
engaged himself as a cabin boy. His
duties made his position anything but
a sinecure and the treatment he re-
ceived In II completed his disillusion-
ment with reference to this particular
vessel. The tyranny finally became u1-
bearable and he managed to decamp
at an Irish port. His love for the sea.
however, remained, and before long
he was serving on an American vessel,
where he speedily became well liked.
Unfortunately, his former captain.
piqued at his successful escape, had
him captured and brought back.
Heavy punishment followed, with the
not unnatural consequence Of second
flight, which resulted In his getting to
a boat upon which he served the full
term Of his apprenticeship.
At the right moment he left the sea
for the business of ship moving and
management. He has found time to
write three books besides his newest,
and to take part in politics.

Doctor.

ANY doctor who cures a patient OF
an illness serious enough to be writ

some folks for being sick.
Nearly everybody nowadays who
has a pretty hard pull to get back
to health asks me if l am not going
to write up the case for publication.
The mere suggestion that it is not
interesting enough for copy nearly
causes a relapse. AS an incentive to
recovery / have tried my literary
skill on several cases that contained
not one sensational feature from a
scientific standpoint.

course, and thought they we're going
to die Over and over l assured them
that they had straight attack Of

complications, but they we're con-

were so proud that they had the

teen miles south of Daytona
and is an ideal spot reached
from Daytona by hard surface road
winding through one Of the most pic

of the modern telegraph and tele-
phone, its miles of she'll streets as
hard and smooth as floor and over
arched by hoary forest giants that
grew in stately grandeur during the
lapse Of bysone centuries, New
Smyrna is truly a place Of romance
and rest.
All nature here is very inviting to
the tourist and pleasure-seeker. Here
too is to be found the best fishing and
hunting in the state of Florida
The people are thrifty. the bust
ness men enterprisink, and all unite
in extending the welcome hand Of
hospitality to strangers. There are
FIVE church edi6ces for white people

population; the town has an excel
lent high school a splendid public
library. aad up-to-date business
houses.
There are any number Of pretty
homes for the permanent population,
which numbers close to 1000 and
some very fine winter residences.
There are food hotels and boarding
houses where you can find accommo-
dations to meet your requirements.
Adjoining New Smyrna is as fine a
section of vegetable land as can be
found anywhere. This land has been
divided into small farms which can
be bought at reasonable prices. Some
Of the finest celery grown in the state
is raised on this land. All other vcse-
tables grow in abundance, and here,
too, is the home Of the famous Indian

BISHOP ALLEN
 MAKES APPEAL
Collection To Be Taken Up For Or- phans Under Care ot Sls-
 ters of Charity

Following is Bishop Aliens circular letter to the clergy in which he makes an appeal for the orphans under the care of the Sisters of Charity in the diocese of Mobile, which includes the state of Alabama:
 "The annual collection for the or phans of the diocese will be taken up at Christmas.
 .'This collection appeals to every Kind and sympathetic heart, for these little ones are entirely dependent on our charity.
 "During the past year, the number asking for admission to our asylums was unusually large and while we try not to reject any deserving case we find no little difficulty in providing for all worthy applicants. At the present time there are 97 boys in La fayette street home and S5 girls In Conti street home and over 100 in the East Lake orphanage, Birmingham.
 From this statement it may be con cluded that our current expenses for the year are very great, and to meet them, we earnestly appeal to the charity of each one today
 Besides the current expenses, exten- sive Improvements and repairs were made last year at the Boys home and a heating plant. laundry and shower baths installed at a cost of $SS73. This expense was met in part by the Mary Johnson legacy and other small legacies There is still debt of $2200 for this work.
 "rhe orphans committee in Birming- ham are putting an addition 10 the East Lake oprhanage, required by the board of health. at cost of 5000. A large part of this amount is as yet un- collected. We feel confident, however, that the citizens of North Alabama will not allow this debt to hamper the asylum very long.
 Tn Mobile. under the auspices of the Sisters of Charity, the Alabama Ma ternity and Infant Home will be opened December 2S, the feast of the holy in- nocents. home, such as this, has been needed for years to provide for chill dren too young to be cared for in ex- isting asylums. We besteak a favor able reception for this new work in the name of the Infant Jesus, we ask help for all those to be cared for in this and other institutions of this diocese He that shall receive one such little child in My name receiveth Me Matt. XVIII. 5.
 Please read this letter on the Sun day before the collection and on the day itself. Wishing you and your flock all the blessings of the Christmas sea son. l am faithfully yours in Christ,
 EDWARD P. ALLEN,
 Bishop of Mobile.
