why He couIdn,t sit Down.

Harry, aged six, is an orphan; but
an indulgent grandmother and kind
maiden aunt have taken care OF him.
The first pair of knickerbockers were
secured recently, and it was proud
moment for the boy when his aunt
put them on him on Sunday morning
and he was permitted to go to church
with his grandmother. Naturally
maiden aunts know very little about
the arrangement of knickerbockers.
and there was a suspicious fullness in
front and an equally mystifying tight
ness in the back to be observed, as
the little chap trudged happily along.
In church Harry sat down, but did
not appear comfortable and stood up.
Harry, sit down." whispered his
grandmother. He obediently climbed
back on the seat, but soon slipped on
again. Harry, you must sit down."
Grandma, can't. My pants is chok-
ing me-" She looked more closely
than her dim sight had before permit
ted, and discovered the new little
knickerbockers were on hind side be-
fore. Harry stood up during the re-
mainder of the service.

it was to know that he never loved

IN LESS STRENUOUS TIMES
tween Domestic Standards Now
and Those Of Long Ago.

In the Woman's Home Companion
there is an interesting presentation OF
the difference that exists between the
domestic standard Of young married
women of today and those Of the past
generation. How did the women OF
the middle class of generation or
two ago manage when they could not
keep help? Following Is the answer
quoted from Companion editorial:
"They lived according to their
means; they did not set up impossible
standards, and they knew much less
about the science Of bringing up chill
dren. They had no special style to
keep up; gave the children weekly
bath; kept the table set between
meals; did not serve their meals in
courses, but put all the food on the
table at once; confined their social
affairs to evening calls and parties,
and church suppers. at which they
wore the same black silk dress for at
least two seasons; in short, every
woman did only what she could, and
her friends made it easier for her by
doing likewise" ST.

they had all the seeming OF swimming

Three hours were consumed in cook
ing. repairing harnesses, and making
and breaking camp. and the remaining
nine hours dogs and men slept as If
dead.
The time came when Kama was un-
able to 60 in the lead and break trail.
and it was proof that he was far gone
when he permitted Daylight to toll
all day at the heavy snowshoe work.
Lake by lake they crossed the string
Of lakes from Marsh to Linderman.
and began the ascent Of Chilcoot. BY
all rights Daylight should have camped
below the last pitch Of the pass at the
dim end of day; but he kept on and
over and down to Sheep Camp. while
behind him ragged snow storm that
would have delayed him twenty-four
hours. This last excessive strain broke
Kama completely. In the morning he
could not travel. At Ave. when called,
he sat up after struggle, groaned,
and sank back again. Daylight did

dogs, and, when ready for the start.

sleeping robes and dashed him on top
of the sled. The going was good; they
were on their last lap; and he raced

led to Dyea post. And running still,

Kama said. "Savvee. Daylight? You

Daylight grinned.
Kama shook his head doubtfully.
and rolled over on his side. turning
his back in token Of farewell.
A crowd filled the Tivoli-the old
crowd that had seen Daylight depart
two months before; for this was the
night of the sixtieth day, and opinion
was divided as ever as to whether or
not he would compass the achieve

was better packed, and they were not
carrying mail against time. At Forty
Mile they laid over two days for the
sake Of the dogs. and at Sixty Mile
Daylight's team was left with the
trader. Unlike Daylight. after the
terrible run from Selkirk to Circle
City. they had been unable to recup-
crate on the back trail. So the four
men pulled on from Sixty Mile with
fresh team of dogs on Daylight's
sled. The following night they
camped in the cluster of islands ut
the mouth of the Stewart. Daylight
talked town sites, and. though the
others laughed at him, he staked the
whole maze of high. wooded island.
"Just supposing the big strike does
come on the Stewart" he argued.

When the reign of law and order
was threatened in Obion County and
other parts of Tennessee ] promptly
called out the military and effectual-
ly suppressed the fast spreading
spirit of mob violence.
Many other needful measures
were advocated, among them a law
creating the Office Of State Auditor,
one recurring the deposits of the
State to draw interest, an employers
liability act and a law preventing
free transportation and issuance OF
passes by railroads and other trans
portation companies.
My very best efforts were given to
bringing about educational reforms,
and these have been ~far-reaching and
enduring. l urged a complete change
in our school laws-proposing to the
Legislature a substitution OF the
county board for the old director sys-
TEN. This measure was bitterly
fought, but / stood firm for what !
thought was the better Judgment of
the school men of the State, and the
result was that the cumbersome and
( wasteful system, under which We
had labored for so many years, was
completely revolutionized, and when
the bill became a law, more real
reforms were brought about and
more genuine good accomplished than
all of the so-called moral agitations
which have embroiled u State for
the past four years.
While my critics were railing at
me this work was being done; and
every barefoot boy and girl in Ten
nessee, and every other child who
must get its education in u public
schools, has received the benefits and
will continue to receive them in the
years to come.
The educational plan, however, was
not complete until Normal schools
were established to prepare young
men and women for the great calling
Of teachers. SO an act was passed
empowering counties and municipali-
Ties to make donations Of land and
money to build these schools, and the
result was that the Board of Educa-
ton received more than a million dol
lars in bonds and real estate; and
three great Normal schools were
established for the education OF
one each in Johnson City, Murfrees.
