GETTING THE FACTS STRAIGHT
etatesman's Correction Of Statement
That Credited Him With Wrest-
ling With the Bear.

"Cy" Cummins, the biggest, tallest
and heftiest member of the Mary
land legislature, was guest one
night at ''bear supper" given at a
club in his county. Bear meat was
served and ON the stage at the end
of the banquet hall there was a tre-
mendous live bear.
Nobody could figure out why the
live bear should be there. Speech
after speech was made, and joke after
joke was sprung. But nobody re-
ferred to the large and ferocious
animal. At last the POSTMASTER
arose and made these few remarks
81 now introduce to you Mr.. Cy
Cummins, a member of our state leg
islature. He is the man who wrestled
with the bear which you see now on
the platform. He will tell you how
he did it."
Gentlemen" said Cy, lifting his
six feet six inches to their ultimate
destination, ''to say that wrestled
with that bear is to state a sordid
and sinister untruth. / never
wrestled with a bear in my life.
Whenever l turn my attention to one
of those things, l step nimbly up
behind him, grab him by the ears
and kick him to death. Popular

TRY NOT TO SEE THE BLOTS
Good Lesson for All of Us in Small
Girls Plea for the Overlook
ing of Fault.

A father, on coming home one
evening, tired and somewhat dispirit-
ed, was approached by his little
daughter with her copy-book, which
she had just finished writing. 1t
being her first, her young face red
rened with a beautiful and honest
flush, as she was sure of receiving
some word of praise and cheer for
her hard attempt.
The pages were indeed neatly writ
ten, and her father told her how well
pleased he was to see how careful she
had been. Presently, coming to one
page which had two small blots, the
little girl laid her hands upon them,
and artlessly looking up into her
fathers face, said: ''Papa, don't see
blots." Of course he did not, but
bent down and planted a kiss on the
little forehead and felt thankful for
the lesson he had learned.
How precious it would be if, amid
all the nameless strifes and discords
which so fret and chate US, we would
Just lay finger on the sullied page
of human lives and not see the blots.
Wien littleneSs and meanness and
petty oppositions annoy and vex US,

these to some brighter pages.-Se-

NEWEsTilDEA IN EDUCATION
Alabama School, Now Six Years oads
Chiefly Remarkable for What lt
Docs Not Do.

Down in the little town Of Fair.
hope, in southern Alabama, there is q
new kind Of public school, says the
American Magazine. 1t is known as
the School of Organic Education.
During this, its sixth year, it num-
bers $50 pupils, two-thirds of the
entire population. Upon first inspec-
ton the school is mainly remarkable
for getting along without certain
things which schools generally deem
indispensable. During the first six
years there are no promotions, no
grades, no examinations, no marks
either for conduct OF for lessons, no
home work and no requirements of
any kind.
The principal, founder and NOV
ing spirit of the school is Mrs. Mari
eta L. johnson. Mrs. Johnson ex-
plains the singular program, or lack
of program, by stating that she is
growing boys and girls as a farmer
grows corn. A farmer collects all
the available lore concerning corn
growing and supplies what he be-
lieves to be the best conditions for
growth. If the corn does not grow
he does not blame it, nor scold it,
nor give it bad mark, nor call it
stupid, but hastens to change condi
tions until his corn responds.
