Mrs. BIIIlngsIy Was Taking Her New
Flatlrons to the Country Sum-
NOR Resort.


The Billlngslys were starting for a
summer outing in the country, expect
ing to be away from home a week or
two. The trunk had been sent to the
railway station, a few blocks distant,
and nothing remained but to close the
house and walk thither. MI. Billings
ly, the last one to leave the front door,
picked up the hand baggage and fol-
lowed the rest Of the family down the
steps. One of the two valises he was
carrying seemed tremendously heavy,
and before he had walked a block he
stopped. set it down on the sidewalk
and turned to his wife, For the
lands sake, Fidelio," he said, mop
ping the perspiration from his brow,
what have you got in this gripsack?
The family silver?" Nothing of the
sort, Hiram" she answered. That's
hidden where nobody can find It."

Not Like Kansas.

Kansas, one of the insurgent leaders

in a valley between two high hills.
Believe me. all the hills in Kansas

not have made one a quarter as high

Mrs. Madison looked at It a min

New Idea for Names.

A group of French feminists have re-
ceived pledges from a certain number
of deputies that they will support a
bill which If passed will modify the
names of all the French nation. Ar
guing that it is not just that the ia
Tiers name only should be borne by
the children, this section of fem
inists proposes that henceforth the
fathers name shall be followed by the
mothers. so that all patronymics
would become double names.

Nearly all the schools in the
county are supplied with teachers
From general appearances, from
4 credentials and from training and
experience, il Is evident That the
rural schools of the county will be
in charge OF the best corps of
teachers this year that they have
ever been.
Mrs. Mary E. Wood has begun
her third years work in Thomas
school, No. 81. This is very for
tunate for the pupils of that dis
trict.
Miss Elsie M. Sawyer, who taught
the Hughes. school last year, has
begun a nine months term in
Dahlenburg districs, No. 43. This
assures to the pupils of that dis
trict one of the mest profitable
years work that they have ever
had.
A very substantial and much
needed addition to the building OF
the Perkins school house has been
made. The board used very good
Judgment in designing this addi-
ton and this building now presents
about the most pleasing appear
ance Of any rural school in the
county. A good fence and some
expert landscape gardening would
now complete the outside appear
ances of this school.
Hornstra school, No. A, has
opened with Miss Clara G~ustofson,
of Stockholm, Wis.,, in charge.
Miss Gustofson is a normal gradu-
ate and has had experience in
Wisconsin.
The teachers institute which
closed on Sept. LIST was very sue
cessful, both from the points of
attendance and interest. The en-.
rollment a greater than that Of
either of the past two years. The
people of Springfield are to be con-
graduated upon the manner in
which they showed their a%pprecia-
ton of the presence of the teach
ers. The boat rides on the river,
the auto trips and the reception
will long be remembered by the
members of the institute.
An eminent physician has writ
ten the following health hints for
school children. 1t would be we'll
if every child would thoroly learn
and practice each one, and the
same advice applies equally as
well to other people.

Do not pick the nose or wipe the

Do not wet the fingers ia the mouth

Do not put pencils in the mouth
or wet them with the lips.
Do not put money in the mouth.
Do not put pins into the mouth.
Do not put anything in the mouth
