Perhaps Row!ey's candidacy IS to be

stances. The basis of his claim Is OF
course the capitol extension and his
pose that of a watch dog Of the In
terests OF the taxpayers. II the

Standard that there are few issues OF

a single item na-eting the fall OF a

1t would be hard TO find man or a
woman who has not at come time in
life become personally acquainted with
a protested exponent OF religious truth
and high moral ideals who has demon
strated the depths Of human deprav-
ity." Over and beyond these four
nalistic annals" and personal knowl-
edge Of gross faults," the Preacher"
thinks there is an indictment against
the profession OF q much more subtle
character. Thus:
1T would be folly to deny that, taken
as a class, min iste re- live lives as pure
and as free from criminal or grossly
Immoral faint IS any other class Of
persons. The Indictment takes rather
the form Of general impression,
amounting almost to q conviction, that
the minister does not have the clear
cut and high standards which the
business world demands.
Business men feel that there is
something about the cloth that makes
Its wearer a doubtful proposition

tween men. A prominent lawyer in

. FIRST GRADE FOR FARM CHILDREN.

A rural school at winthrop, y. T., IS
worth notice in Iowa.
The school building is a farm house,
with rooms fitted up as sitting roorn.' y
kitchen. and workshop. A large Veran-
da surrounding the house is used for
the midday meal, which Is served oy
the pupils at the school, and for other
PURPOSES. There is plent Of ground
about the school, including space 1or a
large garden.
The garden is the center about which
instruction revolves. From the study
OF soil and see in the winter time to
the actual planting, cultivattng. and
harvesting at the other seasons, the
garden remains the center OF the chill
drens interest and activity.
Arithmetic. spelling, etc, are not
taught as subjects. but only as the need
for them arises in connection with the
activities OF home and garden. Laying
out the garden involves arithmetic, and
even geometry, both Of which are ao-
sarbed by the children without effort
The making Of towels for use at the
school naturally develops new words
having TO do with sewing ant many
other things. And so on. Words and
numbers are given the children only
as the need for them develop, and then
with as little Formally as possible
The whole idea is for the children 70
fra o,,t things is possible without be-
ing told.
The children in this rural school are
not assigned to Glasses and periods
as in the traditional school, A visitor
will see one group working in the gar
den, another group on the veranda sew
ing. another in the kitchen at cook
ing task, and still another doing num-
bers" or reading with the teacher in
her boom.
The aim of the Rock Hill school ia
thus summarized by DR.. A. P. Bour-
land in an introduction to a bureau
bulletin: The resolve was to make a
school that will train the farm children
for their future work in the home, on
the farm, and in the social life around
them. Hence We began frankly with
with the activities Of the farm The
aim was not a cut-and- dried plan, but
rather . working idea to enable the
teacher to create a growing agency for
the development Of farm life"

COFFEE ON STEAMBOATS,.
Old Mississippi River Custom Demands
Service at 4 O'Clock Each Day.

Old Mississippi River Custom Demands
Service at O'Clock Each Day.
One Of the peculiar customs on board
Mississippi river boats which changing
conditions have been unable TO do away
with is the fixed habit Of steamboat
men for having their coffee promptly at
O'Clock. The custom dates further
back than the memory of Captain
Bender or Captain Neff Dukes and was
probably taken from ocean vessels,
where it is the custom to have cup
of tea in the middle Of the afternoon.
River men drink a much stronger bev-
eraxe than pink tea and the black cof-
fee on steamboats, is known all over the
country.
The o'clock coffee on a steamboa:
is the center Of social life Of the boat,
and when the captain says to the mate.
Have you had your cofee?" all class
distinctions are dropped. for back IN
the cook house it is man to man. In
that forum all matters relating to the
boat are discussed with the utmost
freedom and without the restraint
which may be felt when the captain is
on the roof and the mate on the deck.
In winter time there is a sort of red
hot stove league around the kitchen
table. where the records Of the Rob-
ert E. Lee and the Nachez are com
pared with those Of the frst Kate
Adams vi some other famous boat. the
records OF the performances Of famous
steamboats, are carried in the heads OF
young roof watcnmen and cub pilots
just the same as the batting averages
Of "Ty" Cobb and Hans Wagner In the
head Of the average small boy.
The cook house il also the source o.
all the steamboat news, and an unes-
tablished rumor is always branded
cook house talk" which means that
something about to happen Is being
talked about by steamboat men.
The custom Is kept up. even when
the boat is in port. On towboats the
cook house is more of an institution
than on the packets. because the men
have less to divert them than on q pas
senger carrying boat.
A passenger very seldom gets an in
vitation back to the cook house, and
it is not good form to 90 unless accom-
panied 81 oIe % the crew. Tie steam
boat fraternity Is very tenacious about
holding onto certain customs and ira
ditions, but the o'clock coffee hour
has lasted longer than any Of the 9TH
ers.
Steamboat coffee II different, too.
from the average ~ II = known on
land Owing to the fact that 1t II not
practical to carry cows on board.
steamboat men generally prefer to take
it black in great ironstone cups. which
hold little less than a quart. Il helps
to keep away malaria. they say.-Aem-
pf1is Commercial-Appeal.
