conscientious and painstaking effort
on the part of both teachers and pu-

record for 1911. Are you one of the
teachers who is trying to accomplish
this?

their first or second term. 1t seems
that the young teacher is more will

Last night. about o'clock, I took a
Southern railroad train from Lynchburg
to Washington. There l changed to the
pennsylvania railroad to go to New
brunswick, n. j., where l had to change
cars at Trenton. / was scheduled to ar
rive there at $50 am. / should Judge
1t was about $50. just before we arrived
at Bristol Pa, that / heard a woman
scream l asked the porter the cause
for the scream, and he informed me
that some one was sick but the con-
tinued screaming impelled me to go into
the smoker, where i found young lady
shouting for some one to bring doctor,
adding that she had shot her mother.
The girl was total stranger to me-
but she said she came from Salem, Va,
and / became interested, as l was from
Virginia myself, and 1 offered my
services. There were couple of
porters there before I arrived where the
woman was lying with her head in her
daughters lap. The daughter told me
that the porter took the revolver from
her after the shooting.
Miss Myers had requested me to
telephone her fiance, Mr.. billiard, at
Salem, and ask him to inform her

piled that he would leave by a fast

fort is now being made to locate him.

convinced from Miss Myers statement
and from the mothers action that the
shooting was entirely accidental, as the
daughter had stated. The mother was
conscious. but was unable to do anything
more than mutter but understood all
that was being said and gave a nodding
assent when the daughter pleaded for
forgiveness.

Alaska. The case was taken up by
Peter H. Anderson, whose claim to the
gold was disputed by the church organi-
zation. and against whom the state courts
Of Illinois and the federal court at CHI
cago have given decisions.
Basis of Suit.
Anderson. il is stated. was aided in
getting an education and missionary
training by the church in Chicago. COM
pleting his studies in 1897. He was then
sent to Alaska as a missionary, but dur
ing the next two years he made numerous
prospecting trips into the uneXplored
wilds of the new gold fields There ne
finally struck il rich, finding WORKINGS
from which he took thousands OF dollars
in Yukon gold.
Ever since that time the gold has been
the subject of dispute between Anderson
and the church which sent him to Alaska
At one time. according to the statements
in the case, IT was agreed that Anderson
should give the church $4,000 for school
purposes $1,000 for expenses OF theo-
logical students, and another S2o.OW with
which to build a church hospital, retain
ing the remainder for himself.
Members of the church. however, re-
pudiated the agreement, ii is stated. and
the case finally was submitted to the
courts of Illinois. which declared against
Anderson and in favor of the church,
giving the organization all the gold that
Anderson had toiled for in the SHOWS of
the far northwest. The case was taken
TO the federal court of the northern dis
trict of Illinois, which also decided
against Anderson. From this last de-
cision he has appealed TO the Supreme

his diamonds preceded the trousers into
the bank The trousers were of good
quality, so William got several blue chips
on them But his luck didn't turn and
when he was cleaned out again he broke
up the game by quitting.
He begged the loan of the trousers to
go home in. but the bank took no risks
and declined. So William started in dress
coat and underwear That's how the
