EDUCATIONAL.
(BY G. w. MEISNEST.)

THE CANDIDATES AT COLLEGE
The three are sons of families of
about equal promienence and standing
in their several communities; the
Roosevelts and Bullocks and the Tafts
and Torreys were people of substance,
and the Wilson's a nd Woodrows we're
people of intellect. The three eminent
sons of the three families were born
within two years of one another. Will
son is nine months older than Taft, and
Taft is year and month older than
Roosevelt. All three went to good
schools; there are no better colleges
than Princeton, Yale and Harvard.
Differences in their characters appear
ed already in the varying manner in
which they comported themselves at
college: Wilson read books of his own
choosing, toiled to perfect himself in
writing and debate, became favorite
and a leader, and was graduated forty
first in class of 122. The year before,
Taft had been graduated from Yale
second in class of l2i. The year fol-
lowing, Roosevelt took his degree at
Harvard with honors in natural his
tory and claimed to have held for a
short period the lightweight sparring
championship.-World's Work.

A SUCCESSFUL FAIR.

The revived county fair was big
success, as big as one day fair could
be. 1t was planned to cover Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday. Tuesdays s
fair amounted to but little. Wednes-
day rain poured but Thursday develop
ed splendid weather and large crowd
turned out for the fair, The attend
ance is said TO have been about ten
thousand. The races were as usual
the principal attraction and the grand
stand was filled Thursday. The coun-
try race, an event of two half-mile
heats was won by Jonas May Afrite.
Register of Deeds Stretch driving his
Elizabeth Marsch was second with
I-Wil-Tell of Strandmeyer trailing.
Kulnik's Don, Rhoads Queen Road
Rodewald's Sam also finished
The Free For All was good race
with five starters and several neck and
neck finishes. 1t was won by Franey's
Hallock M. in straight heats, the best
time being 2:l9.
The 2.24 race was taken in straight
beats by Loos' Corina May in field of
four: best time 2:30.
In the 2:l4 trot Star Elect won over
three others with ease; best time
2:19:
Ed Nelson attempted to break the
state motor cycle record for > miles of
5:57. He made it in 6:03, a remarkable
performance on the rough, soft track.
The exhibition halls and stock pa
vilions, had some splendid exhibits.
The "Pike" was well manned and APP
parently quite well patronized.
A couple of women performing in
"Oriental" dances languished for want
of patronage, due perhaps to the pub
licity of the entrance and exit.
The putting on of this fair was a
large undertaking for the "Committee
of Ten" and they and the officers de-
serve credit for the success of the en-
terprise.

There is a most remarkable reciproc-
al action between the interest which
the teacher takes and that which he
communicates to his pupils, II he is
not with his whole mind present at the
subject, if he does not care whether he
is understood or not, whether his man.
ner is liked or not, he will ALLEVIATE the
affections of his pupils, and render
hem Indifferent to what he says. But
real interest taken in the task of in
struction words and kinder feel
ings-the very expression of the fea-
lures, and the glance of the eye, are
never lost upon children.-Pestalozzi.

The faithful and competent teacher
never fails to secure the confidence, re-
spect, and even affection Of his pupils.
He is, as he ought to be, esteemed sin
place of parent" He Is thought to
be infallible. He ought therefore, to
be correct He is esteemed as possess
ing the whole CyclopHdia of knowledge.
He ought, therefore, to he man of
extensive acquaintance with the prin-
ciples of science. He is thought by
the contiding pupil to be incapable of
any measure, or even intention at vari-
ance with honest views Of promoting
the best interests of those entrusted to
his care. And he ought accordingly,
to enlist all his energies in promoting
the solid improvement and moral
growth of every mind submitted to his

The end of education is the power or
art of thiaking. This power is acquir-
ed, but never inborn. 1t is always the
price of long-continued and patient
study. Talents though "angel bright,
and even genius, need culture to be
educated as really as the most ordina-
ry intellects. The mere absorption of
knowledge, as the sponge absorbs wa
ter, gives no discipline; and hence the
acquiring of knowledge is not the OBJ
ject to be gained, but the development
of mental power.--Orcutt

John Bibinger has been at it again.
Just as soon as the season opened he
hied himself off to the "Rips" in com
pany with Fred Hinrichs. John has
become good shot within the last
year but he is still novice in distin-
gushing animals, He was going to
coniine himself exclusively to part
ridges this time and had read up on
the habits and appearance OF the bird
so that he felt sure of himself A
large hawk came within the line of
Johns vision and the plumage con
vinced him that the first partridge of
the season was courting death 10y com
ing within range. With steady
hand he drew bead on the proud
bird which was soaring majestically in
ever widening circles. When the
partridge" dropped John marched to
i.and proceeded to put his knowledge
of natural history into use in identity
ing his quarry. The hooked bill and
long talons rather staggered him but
he soon reached conclusion Selling
the hawk by the head he trailed his
mitrallense and marched to the camp
telling the boys he had shot the Amer
lean eagle. He still insists it is an
eagle and tells the boys who drop
around to see the monarch OF the air
that it is line specimen and he is
going to have it sent to the Smithon-
ian Institution at. Washington. He is
going to tackle grizzly the next time
he goes on the war path. ''This thing
Of shooting small game" he explains,
SIS alright enough but is beneath the
dignity OF first class hunter"

ITEMS FROM The PILOT FILES.
FIFTY YEARS AGO.

INDIAN sCARE.-A great deal of ex-
citement was created in our village
last Tuesday evening by the appear
ance of a number of teams, containing
families from Branch Mills and VIC
Unity, who reported that the Indians
were within three miles of that place,
slaughtering the people, and burning
and destroying property. Our citizens
gathered in the streets to devise meas
ures for the allaying of the excitement,
and numbe of armed men were ac-
cordingly stationed at the principal
avenues of entrance to the town, while
few, on horseback, volunteered to go
to the supposed scenes of hostilities
and reconnoiter. After short ab-
sence, the latter returned, and pro-
nounced the whole affair humbug, as
nothing reliable could be heard of
Indians, nor single person be found
who had seen any. This was just
what number knew was the case,
and the excitement began to abate,
when boy arrived on the scene of
action, who stated that another boy,
with whom he had started for home
on horseback, was captured ly the In
dians about one mile from here. The
excitement now became more intense
than before--the previously arrang-
ed signal was given to recall the
party which had been sent out on
the south side of the river, to advance
in force" to the rescue OF the boy
and men began to conclude that there
was something in it; but fn a short
time it was discovered that the boy
had been stopped by the pickets, and
the other one, not waiting to ascertain,
naturally enough supposed his COM
panion had been taken by the Indians.
AS soon as this explanation was under
stood, and the whole matter debated,
the utter absurdity of the story of an
Indian raid on the place, became APP
parent to all, and majority of the
people went home and to bed.
We are informed that story was
circulated in the northern towns of
the county, that the Indians had
massacred the residents of Kossuth, in
the vicinity of Michael Kellner's, and
the residents of those towns, to the
number of 800 armed men, marched to
the latter place "Wednesday afternoon
to ascertain the truth of the report,
and discovered they had been the vic
Tins Of hoax.
We trust that the insecure feeling
which had been given way for the
last three or four days by the inhabit-
ants of portion of the county, is about
played out"
BULL RUN FOUGHT OVER AGAIN.
Probably the most hotly contested
battle of the war was fought on Friday
last upon the very field at Bull Run,
where we suffered SO sadly little
more than thirteen months ago. Gen.
Pope admits 5000 killed and wounded
on our side, and alleges double that
number of the enemy to have been
destroyed. Wisconsin has not less
than five regiments in the vicinity Of
this new and terrible scene of carnage

MADRID, February z. 1919
The disappearance Of "Bombita' Is still
the one absorbing topic Of conversation
throughout the country. Yesterday q
commission from the Malaga court arriv-
ed here to request the authorities to
pursue and capture Don Emilio Torres,
"known as Bombita." and the senorita
with whom he was alleged to have fed.
It then became evident that the hero of
this romance is not the present popular
matador. but his elder brother. As a
matter Of fact there are three men who
are affectionately known to frequenters
Of the bull ring as ''Bombita." They are
the three brothers, Emilio, Ricardo and
Manuel Torres. known. respectively. as
Bombita I. Bombita II and Bombita Ill.
Emilio Torres. the fugitive. and eldest
Of the dynasty. retired from the bull ring
q few years ago as q Consequence Of
severe wounds. and had settled down in
Malaga with his wife and six children.
The woman who has efoped with him is
said to have been q great friend Of his
wife. Some say they are in Paris, be-
cause Bombita passed through Hendaye
Saturday; others aver that he has fed to
Mexico, where he proposes to return to
the bull ring. because the lady who has
eloped with him wishes to see him again
in the public eye so that she may enjoy
the violent emotions of Prosper Merimees

AIDING POTASH SEARCH.
Samples Will Be Examined Free a,
Government Laboratory.

To develop more thoroughly the fer
tilizer and potash resources of the United
States, Secretary of Agriculture Wilson
has ordered the establishment at Reno,
New, Of a government laboratory where
natural material supposed to contain pot
ash will be examined without cost Those
sending samples must prepay transpor-
tation charges, however.
The search for potash deposit in this
country is being continued by the Depart
ment Of Agriculture and the United States
geological survey. both of which have
parties in the field. There have been nu-
merous drillings in Nevada. but they
have not been productive. The geological
survey has examined the water and the
waste products Of a number Of salt wells
in Ohio and Illinois. Many private own
ers are convinced they have deposits OF
potash on their ground. and the opening
Of the present laboratory will give them
all chance to come forward with SAM
Piles for examination. 1t is thought this
may furnish a lead pointing to some To-
cality more productive than anything yet
examined.
