An interesting romance OF the Rus
aian penal settlement on Saghalien
Island, north OF Japan, has come to
light, recently. A Russian count and
his young wife were deported to the
island in 1887 for political offences In
company with gang Of prisoners.
The count died before reaching the
island. The countess bore a child,
girl, on her arrival, and expired imme-
diately afterwards. The prisoners
adopted the baby, the entire company
standing godfather and she spent a
happy childhood among them. They
put their savings together and sent
her to school on the mainland, and
later she entered business in Vlad-
ivostok as bookkeeper. The son of a
millionaire named Lordoff, who was
in the business, fell in love with the
girl and married her short time ago.
The girl wrote to her godfathers-
there are only twenty still alive--and
the bridegroom sent them a cheque
for a1.000 to pay for the expense
they had been under in bringing up
his wife.

How to Cure stammerInc.

Stammering is due to peculiarly
nervous temperament, and only very
sympathetic treatment can effect a
cure. In child 1t should have imme-
diate attention. and the first thing is
to improve the little ones health by
means Of plenty of sleep, fresh air
and good food. Every day he should
take deep breathing exercises in the
open afr, to strengthen the muscles of
the throat, and counteract a spasmodic
habit of breathing NJ tice should be
taken of the sounds which the little
stammerer has most trouble with, and
sentences containing these sounds
should be composed for him to repeat
each day-very slowly and clearly.
He should be asked to read aloud ev-
cry day, and, what is very important,
he should never be laughed at or
scolded.

A coffin tram-car is the latest In
uovation by way of a conveyance in
Paris. The cemetery of vincennes is
full, and it is impossible to find an
other suitable piece of ground in the
town, SO the new cemetery has been
made at distance of about three
miles out. This is too great distance
for the ordinary funeral procession,
so the municipality has solved the
problem by having special coffin
tram-car constructed, and laying down
line right to the gates of the ceme-
terry. The car, which Is of dark
green color, is divided into four COM
partmentS, one for the driver, one for
the bearers, one for the clergy, and a
roomy one. containing "a seats, for the
family of the deceased. In the side of
the vehicle there is an aperture into
which the, undertakers slide the cof-
fin. The wreaths will be hung on the
car. A specially constructed carriage
will follow the funeral car containing
the rest Of those assisting at the cere-
mony.

COUNTY NORMAL
WILL NOT Be
HELD At VIN|TA
vinita. Okla, March 2S, 1912.
To the Honorable Board Of Education,
Vinita, Oklahoma.

To the Honorable Board Of Education
vinita, Oklahoma.
Gentlemen: In reply to your letter
published in The Daily Chieftain
would say cannot accept your terms
for holding the Summer Normal of
Craig County in vinita, for the follow
ing reasons.
I explained fully to you when | con-
ferred with you on the subject of hold
ing the Normal here, that Vinita would
be expect to put up her pro rata
share of tfo expense fund for running
the Norma and you make no mention
of any provision to help bear the ex-
penses.
For the benefit of those not informed
on the subject, will state here where
the money that we use for the Normal
comes from. The County Commits
sioners furnish one hundred dollars,
and al the rest comes from fees charg-
ed for the enrolment and the exam
nation of the teachers who attend.
The enrolment fee is two dollars,
which is paid by all who enroll,
wn ther they take the examinations or
not. Teachers who take the examina-
tions pay another fee of two dollars
each. But the law does not require
those teachers who hold first and sec
ond grade certificates given last year
to take examinations again this year.
Hence the fund derived from that
source will be proportionately less than
last year. The average number of
teachers who attend the Normal varies
from one hundred to about one hun
dred and forty.
The outgoing expenses Of salaries bf
a hundred dollars each to conductor
and four Instructors, not counting
science teacher. There will also be
an ice bill of about twenty-five OF
thirty dollars, hire for janitor, bill
for examination stationery, and other
incidentals, which must be incurred
You viii also recall that had al
ready offered the position of instrue
tor in one of the departments to q
member OF your Vinita faculty; not
however, with the end in view that he
must be caretaker of the schoo
property. We have been accustomed
to employ ianitor for that purpose
Moreover ! do not believe the ladies
and gentlemen who attend the Crail
County Normal and who teach oul
county schools are given to wantonly
destroying public property.
Therefore, in view of the fact tha
myself would have to make good any
deficit of money at the close of tht
Normal, | must decline your kind in
vitation to hold the Normal here un
less Vinita can come up with her shar'
fthe expense.
Very respectfully,
H. w. C. SHELTON,
County Superintendent

Clever Dogs Trained BY smuqcIsrs.

Clever Dogs Trained by smuggIers.
The manner in which dogs are
trained by smugglers to assist In their
operations ON the Italian frontier is
certainly ingenious. The canine pupil
is submitted to various torments on
Swiss territory, and after being re-
peatedly shot at by one Of the gang,
attired In the uniform IT an Italian
customs official. 1t is driven across
she frontier into Italy. Here it meets
with the greatest kindness at the
hands Of the smugglers, so that it soon
learns to know on which side are its
friends and on which its enemies. The
dog is then taken back to Switzerland,
where it is laden with sugar. tobacco
and other articles of contraband, and
us then allowed to escape back to its
friends in Italy.
