and often become perplexed over
what was at one time familiar to
them. Just so the parents who en-
gagged in other lines of work, become
rusty and often cannot be depended
on in a crisis.
Every teacher should so conduct
himself that he can have the un-
qualified Endorsement Of every pat
ron, and then there will be no
criticism of the teacher in the home.
This is essential to the well-being of
the pupil for if he hears uncompi-
mentary remarks at home it destroys
the teachers influence and his work
suffers in consequence. There are
many more needs of the school
namely better and larger play
grounds, persistent drills in polite
ness, especially impressing upon
boys their chivalrous and manly
duties to their sisters and other
girls. insist that every boy be a
gentleman and every girl lady, re-
specting the rights of others as well
as to their own. The Importance of
the teacher in maintaining his dig
nifty yet unbending when it seems
best to do so under stress of circum-
stances.
Many more needs could be urged,
but I would sum up the needs Of
the school under three general heads:
1. More Sanitary buildings.
2. More efficient, tactful, common
sense teachers.
8. More appreciative, loyal and
sympathetic parents.
Given these essentials, the pupils
of average health and intelligence

Underwent an Operation.

Miss Esther O'Keefe, only daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. O'Keefe,
underwent an operation at Mercy
Hospital in Chicago on Monday
last. Mis- O'Keefe has been sick for
a number of years with disease
that baffled the physicians, and has
greatly hindered her ambition In
educational lines. Last week she
was subjected to an examination,
with the result that the physicians
at the hospital pronounced her case
as chronic appendicitis, and advised
an operation at once. In sixty
three minutes from the time she was
taken to the operation floor she was
returned to her room, and Is now
getting along very well, with good
hopes of complete recovery. DR..
Murphy was the operating physician
and DR.. Mix the attendant. They
found the condition just as they
had decided it must be, and the
many friends Of Miss 0'Keefe, as
well as of her parents, viii be re-
joiced that she will soon be home

Assault and Battery.

Walter S. Bell of Ipwood plead
guilty to assaulting Daniel Carlson,
and was given a fine, which with
costs amounts to 1850.
Pell is a section man on the Penn
sylvania railroad and Mr.. Carlson is
the section foreman. In some way
there was ma religious argument up,
and remark made by Carlson an
gered young Bell and he grabbed q
shovel and struck his foreman down.
A deep cash was cut in his forehead,
and he was taken by his men to DR..
Kizer who took some stitches In
the wound, and made the injured
man comfortable. This happened
last Thursday, and Tuesday the case
was brought before Justice c. P.
Holloway, and on being asked if
the charge was true, young Bell re-
piled that it was, that he did take
the shovel and hit Carlson over the
head. It was thought advisable to
change the charge to Assault with q
deadly weapon with intent to kill,
but Mr.. Carlson did not want this
done, and it was left with fine as
above stated, which was stayed by
the young mans father, Fred Bell.

that they have been making for
about three years is wonderful
success. There is probably no range
on the market that does the service
so completely as it does. It speaks
well for the manufacturers as well
as for the town, for every range
that goes out is a standing adver-
tisement for Plymouth.
We congratulate the manufacturers
for their enterprise and predict that
all their dreams of a large stove
factory in our city will sometime
come true.

at the Presbyterian Bazaar in the

1t furnished the heat for that large

plimentary remarks were paid it by
the many visitors on that occasion.
It's simplicity and neatness make it
one of the most attractive stoves on
the market.

there to buy land. They went near
ly to La Porte before they saw a
white man. At the Kankakee river
the bridge was gone all but the
stringers. Father and uncle had thei1
money in French francs and Mexican
dollars and it was quite a burden.
Theproblem of crossing the Kanka-

Trials Of Pioneers.
"It is hard to make one of today
understand the hardships of that
time,' said Mr.. Woodward. "There
was no food, no money, no market
for anything, if there had been any,
thing to sell. My father went
twenty-one miles beyond Logans-
port to Delphi to get grain ground
for corn meal. That was the closest
mill. Near there we bought some
white corn and had it .ground-but
they did not bolt the meal then as
they do now, and mother had to sift
it. We had some cows. Hogs ran
wild and fattened OIL the nuts in

plentiful. Neighbors would kill a

Monday, Dec. IL, was the 83rd
birthday of Norman S. Woodward
the man who has been a resident OF
Marshall county longer than anyone
else on earth.
''How does it feel to be eighty
threeq' was asked by a reporter of
the Republican of Mr.. Woodward at
his home on Center street, in Plym-
outh.
"Oh. I have no reason to COM
plain," said Mr. Woodward, referr-
ing rather to all his past life than
to is present physical condition.
The. question was asked to get the
venerable gentl man to tell some Of
the exciting experiences of his life
in the early days of the county, and
of conditions then under which the
pioneers struggled and fought-and
won. 1t is well known that Mr..
Woodward's mind is as bright as a
new silver dollar, Notwithstanding
his advanced age. His memory as
to persons, dates, conditions, and
facts of all kinds is one of the most
remarkable to be met with. Those
desiring data as to the early history
of the county seek Mr.. Woodward
FOR the facts to be relied on; at
torneys frequently call upon him to
get definite information on which
to base lawsuit or decide an i'm
portant matter based on some facts

There was no market closer than
Michigan City, and to that place we
hauled our wheat. The price was 81
cents a bushel and later we got 40
cents. In few years there was a

there to be ground.
The First Election.
"The first election was In the fall
of 1886 to organize the county.
They called the town Plymouth after
the New England Plymouth Rock.
All the people of the county voted
at Plymouth, though one could vote
at any place he could find a voting
place. watched them vote. A man
would come to the voting place and
asked how he wanted to vote. He
would tell the name of his candidate
and the vote would be written down
by the clerk. There were So votes

in Center township. In those days
it was about an even break between
the Wings and the Democrats.
GA. L. Wheeler was the first man
to run a real dry goods and general

of his store were pals of New Eng
land rum for voters. In the rum
had been put some "black strap

as well as men, could 60 there and

drunkenness. It seemed that the
human system needed whiskey to
kill off the malaria so prevalent in
those early days, and it being pure
whiskey, did not affect them as now

JUDICIAL VAUDEVILLE.

1 One Of those continuous news fea - | lures which drag their wearisome | length through the columns of the daily press is the trial of the Italian l ICarmorrists Day after day the per functory incidents of this inquiry are laid before the world, illuminated
 only by occasional flashes of dramatic
 or ridiculous repartee To the Ameri- can mind it seems astonishing that
 so much latitude in the matter of speech is allowed everybody con inected with this trial, the entire pro lceedings at times taking on the char lacter of comic opera The caged pris- oners shout and revile. witnesses argue with attorneys. the presiding judge bullies and pandemonium reigns. Not the least interesting of the per sonalities connected with this remark able case is that of the informer. Cen naro AbbatemaggiO. The other day when this man was on the witness stand there was war of words" with two of the prisoners. What the
 precise nature of this engagement was is not reported but it ended by Ab- batemaggio calling one Of the prison CTS an assassin. To this accusation
 the prisoners promptly replied: You are like a COW which is called an ass
 with horns. You have a muddy con science which you have sold to the carbineers."
 IL is not easy for the vigirous Anglo
 Saxon mind to grasp the subtitle in
 suit conveyed by this somewhat al
 legorical indictment. An American
 has no doubt left in his mind if any one calls him a dog. cur. a donkey or a skunk But to be designated as q COW which is called an ass with horns" is somewhat bewildering. Yet the more one ponders it in his mind the meaner it seems. Perhaps the original phrase has lost something in translation. Likewise. probably, the muddy conscience" suffered from the same cause. But as one reads on through the report he bumps suddenly into something that has a truly fla miliar and homelike ring. You are liar" shouted one of the prisoners to the witness. and. the report adds, in this vein the dialogue was con tinued"
 This trial of the Camorrists shows that they have worse way of doing such things in Italy than in any other civilized country. For days the time of the court has been consumed by prisoners, witnesses and jurors call ing each other vile names. while the unpurturbed judge occasionally filings out an insult to the attorneys for the defense. And if a juror gets sick. they bring in a substitute who sits as long as he can stand it and then retires. and another substitute comes in. It's great system, no doubt. for the spectacular loving Latins. but Americans have no patience with It. Kansas City Journal
