A National 0bject-LeSSon in Hersd-
ity.

Tie long-looked-for history of
the Killikak family has at last
come from the press of the pub
fishers. Under the auspices of
the Training-School for Feble-
Minded at Vineland, N. j., DR..
Henry H, Goddard has investi-
gated and compiled the results
of his work in the heredity of
this most remarkable family.
During Revolutionary days, the
first Martin Killikak (the name is
fictitious defending from a long
line of Good English ancestry,
look advantage of a feeble-mind-
ed girl. The result Of their in
diligence was a feble-minded son.
This son married a normal wo-
man. They in turn produced five
fl eble-minded and two nor

NAL children. Practically all
of the descendants of these defec-
tives have been traced as we'll as
those of the two normals.
From both normal and defec-
tive descendants Of this union
came along line of defective stock.
There were 480 in all. Of lhese
thirty six were Legitimate thir-
ty-three sexually immoral, TWEEN
ty-four confirmed alcoholics and
three epileptic. Eghty-two died
in infancy, three were criminal,
eight kept houses of i'll fame and
143 were distinctly feeble minded
Only forty six were found VINO
were apparently normal. The
rest are unknown or doubtful.
But the scion of the good family
VINO started this long line of de-
linquent and defective progen y
is also responsible for a strain of
an entirely different character.
After the Revolutionary War was
over, he married a Quaker girl of
good ancestry and settled down
to live a respectable life after the
tradition Of his forefathers.
From this legal union with a
normal woman there have been
496 descendants, All of these
except two have been of normal
mentality. The exceptions were
cases Of insanity, presumably in
| herited through marriage with
an outside strain in which there
was a constitutional psychopathic
! tendency. In all the 496 there il
not an instance Of predetermined
ness. the offspring descended
from this side of the house have
universally occupied positions il
the upper walks of life. They
have never been criminals OF
do wells. On the othei
; hand, there has not been a single
instance of exceptional ability a
mong the descendants of the frs
, Martin Killikak and the feeble
+ minded girl. Most Of these DIES
cendants have failed to rise above
the dead level of mediocrity; in
n deed, most of them have fall
i en- fp + below even this minimum
standard. This striking stud!
in heredity is commented on a

This Weeks School Notes.

Another month Of school has
gone by, and we have to look
back with feelings of regret or
gladness according to the manner
which we as teachers and stud
ents have used the time and op-
portunities that were ours.
In the Normal Room, we can
truthful say that the last monthly
has meant more to us than the
first one did for we were just
starting out the first month and
had to get used to the work and
of course did not do as telling
work as we have in the month
just closed,
We promised our pupils that
we would record at the close of
the month in red ink all averages
that would reach 80 per cent or
more and when we got through
making out reports we found that
every one in our room had sue
ceeded in getting on the Honor
Roll, as 80 per cent is the aver
age each must make to get on
the honor Roll. We are well
pleased with our work now and
only ask the patrons to let us
have the children regularly in
school that we may do the gra-
test possible good for them.
We want every one in town
and surrounding country who is
interested in the identifying of
the school grounds to remember
that we are depending on you to
make good your promise to dc
your share on Friday November
Is, in planting trees on the cam
pus. We have the ground all
measured and staked for the trees
:. and the trustees are going to
have the places dug out ready to
put the trees and it will be only
little trouble to you to get your
trees and bring them and set
them out for future genera
, lions.
1t takes 159 trees to fill the
campus as we want it and we are
trying to save enough space for
, all who want to help in this good
work and we will be glad for all
who want to help to come to us
and say how many trees they
want to set so we can save the
space for them and disappoint nc
one. The Normal Room has
taken on its self the task of plant
ing 65 trees on the campus as
: that is the number it takes to
fringe the athletic field in
which we will plant no trees.
Let US know at once how many
you want to plant so we can save
D room for you. We will publish
next week the list of all who a.
gree to plant; and the next week
: the names Of all who DID plant
trees.

OCTOBER.
By REREKAH PHILLIPS.

By REREEAH PHILLIPS.
The bright October comes again,
With all its charmc anew;
The trees take on their Autumn robes
Oh every brilliant hue.
We see the.green and then auburn,
Red, yellow, golden, brown;
And all the other pretty shades
On trees about the town.
When the mellow sun upon them plays,
They impart such radiant shade;
We find there's not an artist known
Who equal scenes hath made
The flowers too, have all come out
To add their charm; and then
They enter into winters sleep
Till Spring wakes en- again.
"Last Rose of Summer" tiny flower,
Is blooming far and near,
Mingled with the waving Golden Rod
NAHA O'hSiN Juol uo hCdl.
The grapes are clustering on the vine,
On the trees, red apples smile;
To take walk through natures scenes
Is more than worth your while.
The "harvest time" for nuts has come,
Which children like SO we'll;
OF gathering them, by the winter fires,
| Great stories they will tell,
How they had chased about the hill
To beat some other boy
In filling up his basket first,
And then give SHOUTS OF JOY.
The squirrel is busy as can be
About the winter~home,
Gathering a good supply of food,
To eat when the north winds moan.
But as the winter fast comes on,
Melancholy grows the day.
We hear the rustic OF the leaves
| That fall and dance away.
They bear no longer colors bright.
But, withered, fall away
And heaped in holows Of the wood,
In dampess soon decay.
No longer sings the robin here,
| And, too, the wren has flown,
With other birds they all have gone.
The crows are left alone.
! The farmers gather in their grain,
The harvest soon is eer;
We see them laboring Gay by day
On hill and plain no more.
All verdant things turn brown and scar,
For Jack Frost works at night;
But just before the Summer dies
All scenes are then most bright.
And we, as nature, must sometime fade,
We cannot escape the day;
BUT we can be beaurful leaf
Before we pass away.
So let's take on our glowing hue,
Which is our "rightcoss way
Increase in beatty, be the best,
Upon our passing day.

Two Forms of Relief

Thomas R Marshall the democratic candidate for the vice presidency, di- rects attention to one difference be- tween Lincoln and Colonel Roosevelt, the latter of whom is given to insti- tuting foolish comparisons between himself and the great war president.
 This difference. says MT Marshall is in the way they view the relation of the courts to the people. It was held by Lincoln to be the inalienable right of every American citizen who might be wOrsted in a suit at law, to go down town tO the nearest tay- ern and, "cuss'' about the court until he could get as much of his griev- ance out of his system as possible.
 Mir. Roosevelt proposes to give the dissatisfied citizen more adequate re- lief The colonel would have him go down town to the nearest tavern and Overrule the court, recall it's decision and take steps to have one rendered that would suit him. This would be more effective than idle 'cussin'."

Sliding and Jumping

The Arizona Silver Belt has discov- cred that the words Slide" and Jump are not true synonyms, that is. that they are not coincident in all their meanings. as true synonyms must be, and it has so informed the Arizona Corporation commission. This pathological discovery was sug- gested by little thing that hap pened in the Silver Belt office.
 In May of this year our con- temporary consumed 20,40o cubic feet of gas for which it paid bill of S30.6O. The next month, the news paper moved by a spirit of retrench- ment cut down the gas to 17,100 feet and was pained and amazed when a bill for $307S was sent in. The Sil- yer Belt management naturally went to the gas company management with an inquiry; it's curiosity had been aroused.
 This state of affairs was developed After the May transaction in gas the gas company had been brought up on the carpet for regulation and it went away from the commission with a permission or order to put in slid ing" scale of rates having some re- lation to the volume of gas consumed by different patrons. For instance for all consumers of 10000 feet or less there should be a rate of $2; foi consumers of gas between 10000 anC 70. GOO feet, the latter inclusive, there should be rate of $1.80 and fol consumers of more than 10000 fee there should be rate of $1 50.
 It thus happened that if one shoult consume T 900 feet his bill would b' $3150 while if he used only 1S,0O' feet he would have to pay $324O This arrangement struck the Silve Belt as calculated to encourage waste of gas Under the sliding seal regulation the price of gas ha' jumped" when user had attempte' To practice economy.

Resurrection of Old "Pet"

We thought old Pet was dead but he vet cumbereth the earth. We refer to former Senator R. F. Pettigrew of South Dakota who, though not q con structive statesman. in his time, con- tributed much to the mirth of the sen ate of the United States which, with out him would have been an austere and even a cold congregation
 Pet has already been dead for sev- rral years. for fully a decade and his body has been buried deep in the po- litical waters of South Dakota But dead bodies are brought to the sur face in one of two ways, either by the formation of gases within them until they come to possess a less specific gravity than water, or by the explosion of dynamite within the vii cinity of them. Gases would natural ly generate within the political re- mains of old Pet" and then, Colonel RooseveH has lately been using a good deal of political dynamite in South Dakota as elsewhere. bringing strange things to the surface Anyway old Pet" is afloat again and has joined the flotsam in Oyster Bay.
 old Pet ostensibly served South Dakota in the senate from 1889 to 1901 The same wave that elevated
 
 caliber, swept old Pet" in. In those days il took senator some time to secure recognition in the senate, though it is done more quickly now. But old Pets" rise was rapid. He was recognized at once.-as a joke.
 He had not been in the senate long before he discovered that his party was rotten to the core: wrong as to all essential matters, the tariff. the of those of whom free silvertes were made in those days so that he easily Hooked to the standard of Bryan in 1896 The. republican party further in censed him couple of years later by clinging to the Philippine Islands. Nothing it could do pleased old Pet" and he retired from the senate the first year of the present century, and died politically But he is alive again. Great is the might of Allah. There is no power, except in him.
