JACK DUNCAN.

OAKLAND, CAL, Oct. 3. -
Nine-year-old Jack Duncan sat
perusing a large official looking
envelope bearing the immense I'm
perial Seal of Germany that the
postman had just brought him.
He was puzzled.
In looking through some very
old copies of the London illus
trated News a short time before,
Jack discovered some very excel
lent woodcuts of Kaiser Will
helms father made at the time
of his wedding. He cut them out
and sent them to the kaiser for
his scrap book.
The kaiser admired the demo-
cratic spirit and kindheartedness
of the boy and took enough of
his official time to write him a
letter.
Il found great pleasure" the
letter ran, in looking at the pic
lures of my father that you sent
me and was pleased TO think that
one SO young and SO far away
had been SO thoughtful"

GERMANY'S WAR UPON NOISE
(From The Outlook

The laws governing noises in Ger
many are severe. For instance, &C
cording to the German criminal code,
whoever, in defiance of law and
peace or perpetuate public nuisance
is punishable by fine up to $50
marks (3550), or confinement The
law, as interpreted by the courts, does
not apply when an individual or a
small group of persons is disturbed by
noises, but only when the public il
general is disturbed.
The term public in general" is,
however, construed to apply in the
same house, or to pupils assembled in
public school If they are disturbed
by barking dog or cackling fowl, the
owner of the dog or fowl is liable I'M
der the law.
The Berlin street ordinances pro-
hibit the playing of music or the cry
ing of wares by hucksters or news
paper vendors in the streets, unless
permission is first obtained from the
police officials, and prohibit the trans
portation of all articles, such as sheet
iron. chains and other metal affects,
liable to make noise, unless packed
so as to be noiseless.
But the new ordinance now coming
into force are severer still. Accord
ing to these not only must police per-
mission be obtained for playing music
in the streets, but also in cases when,
played in buildings, it can be heard in
the streets Otherwise, when music is
played or sung in rooms which con-
meet with streets, the windows and
doors of the rooms must be kept
tightly closed. No loud singing, whis-
Ting or hurrahing and no bell-ringing
Except the jingle of sleighballs) s
now allowed in the streets Moreover,
the new ordinances forbid the beating
of beds, carpets or clothing in open
windows or on balconies connected
with the streets.

This is but one among many efforts to
impress upon school boards and teach
ers the vital need of conserving the
children's physical welfare.
There can be no doubt, however,
that in every part of the country more
attention should be given to this
phase of rural school interests. Such
simple matters as ventilation as
clean premises count vitality in the
mental and moral as we'll as the phys
ical efficiency of pupils. The fact is
there should be a system of medical
inspection for all-country as well as
city schools

WHERE HYGIENE Is NEEDED

That the need of the country schools
relative to the fundamental principles
of hygiene is vital has been shown by
thorough investigation. In this par,
ticular the pupil of the city school has
the advantage over his rural cousin,
though the rural prpil has more
healthful environment usually.
For remedying this defect in regard
to hygiene in the schools remedy has
been suggested in the way of medical
inspection and other Improvements.
OF these the Atlanta Journal says:
| DIR. Ernest B. Hoag, of Minnesot4 /,
an interested student of education, re
Gently made tour of the country
school houses in his home district. He
found, according to the Louisvilt
Courier-Journal, that the simplest
principles of hygiene were frequently
neglected. We are told, for instance
that in one school room an old fash
toned stove had ben fired until the
mercury registered ninety degrees
while out of doors, it was ten below
zero. The pertinent question is ask Il

This incident suggests the import,
ance of more careful measures of san.
itation for rural schools in genera
and of keen vigilance in this respect
on the part of teachers. The M'rne.
sofa case is, perhaps, exceptionally
bad; at least we believe this may ot

for under the common school admir-
istration Of this state there is a par

A GREATER INCENTIVE FOR WORK

For the members of the Sumter
County Boys Corn club and the Sum-
ter County Girls Canning club an even
greater incentive exists this year
than last in the way of prizes AMI
tangible rewards. This incentive is
found in the district contest that is u
be held in Columbus this fall.
In the years that have passed since
the establishment of this movement
here, the prizes offered to the boys
and girls have been worthy and at
tractive. They have been of sufficient
value to bring out some of the worth
lest efforts ever made here by the
boys and girls of Sumter county. The
district meet in Columbus, hOweve,
offers still greater inducement to the
youth of Sumter county to excel in
these worthy pursuits
Not alone will there be prizes of val
ne offered by the clubs in this county
but those that will be given by the
people of Columbus who are interested
in bringing all the boys and girls OF
this district to that city and in giving
them an opportunity to vie with each
ether in these wholesome contests.
The fact that the bog or girl who cor,
tests here in Sumter county gains
tangible ends in the way Oh excellent
products from his or her labor is
great reward in itself Added to this
will be the gain in character and
that is vouchsafed to ey-
cry one who makes an effort toward
self betterment and the advancemenI
of others.
Further incentive is given Sumter's
youth now by the establishment CT
the district contest, which will afford
these energetic and aspiring young
people an opportunity to win prizes
Lot only here but also in Columbus
and to make known throughout the
district the worth and ambition of the
young people who are to become the
of agriculture in Sumter
within a very few years. This
is an opportunity for lettering Sumter
county not only within its own bounds
but also throughout the extent of this
district and the entire state. Much
will be focused upon the
Columbus meeting l. Sumter's con-
helpful advertisement for this county.
People of the entire state will know
of it. Cannot the boys and girls of
Sumter go to work and carry away
the best part Of the prizes that viii
be offered at Columbus?

STATE FLOWERS
indianapolis News. }

me pennsylvania Legislature has
Just adopted the violet as the safe flow
er. This has awakened not few news
papers throughout the country to tho
remark that the violet-humble little
plossom-seems anything but fitting as
the emblem of such a mighty and
politically complicated state as Penn
sylvania. The Indiana Legislature, N
solemn body assembled, decided on the
arnation, the waxy, odorous carnation.
which is not Indigenous to Indiana. as
our state flower In only few of the
states have the Legislatures chosen the
state flower. Generally the task has
been left to the enthusiastic approval
of the school children, and with few
exceptions it may be said that such Sc
lections meet with general support.
VINO ever heard of school children,
accustomed to romping in the fields,
declaring in favor of a conservatory
plant?
The Alabama Legislature has select
ed the golden rod, and Kentucky, by
popular consent, has adopted that flow
er. In Missouri also the golden rod is
approved. Wisconsin, Rhode Island
and Illinois preceded Pennsylvania IN
the selection of the violet The violet,
like the golden rod, is found all over
the United States. Alaska has the for
get-me-not; Arkansas, the apple bios
som; California, the distinctive golden
poppy; Colorado has the columbine,
found in rocky places; Connecticut
has the lovely mountain laurel; Della
ware the peach blossom; the District
of Columbia, the nasturtium; orange
blossoms have been selected by Flor
ida; the Cherokee rose by Iowa, and
the sunfiower by Kansas. So the list
runs, including such as the cactus by
New Mexico, the sage-brush shrub b.
Nevada. and the gentian by Wyoming.
In a popular list of accredited
state flowers Indiana is registered as
having adopted the corntlower. This
is a sad mistake 1t is not the corn
flower, it is the carnation. Ohio is al
so reported as having had the carna-
ton foisted on it by the Legislature.
Here are two states-two of the great
est states in the Union-each with the
same emblem, and an emblem at that
which is native to neither and popular
mostly with seminary graduating
classes and department store flower
sales. Spring is here, and with spring
comes the flowers that abound in this
region. The forests may have long
since been depleted, but the flowers
struggle on-quite few of them
without the aid of the dollhouse. Why
not have the school children Of the
state go into the woods and fields these
DAYS, select their favorite flower ana
then take a vote? Let the carnatlon
represent the legislators in Indiana v
the legislators desire-but do not let
it represent the state.

If EVERY ONE DIED YOUNG
lChicagO Trihunel

t'SllSdSO 1IlDuu6.J
Shall science seek to prolong human
life? An Italian scientist claims that
people live too long; that they should
live even more strenuously than now
and die younger; that a man has not
at most more than 20 or % working
years. Let him live them in such
way that at the close he will end his
days quickly
Never reach old age, he says. The
work of the world is for the young.
The wisdom of the years is of no value
compared to the vigor OF youth. it
would be a calamity to society if
science should prolong human life.
Suppose all life ended at 20, would the
world have lost anything? The fol-
lowing are some of the achievements
we would be deprived of: BENJAMIN
Franklin's invaluable service in France
would have been lost to this country :;
Gladstone would not have become the
grand old man" of England and for
IL years have held the prime minister
ship; and Henry Clay's omnibus bill
to avert the battle on slavery would
not have been conceived.
In the field of science notable losses
would have been recorded. Calico
would not have made the wonderful
discovery of the moons diurnal and
monthly Vibrations, nor would he have
written his most valuable book. Ola
logue on the New Science" Spence
and Darwin also would not have left
us some Of their best work.
Priceless art treasures would have
to be taken from the galleries of the
world. Titan worked until he was 90,
and his hand never lost its cunning.
! Jokusai worked with undated skill
until he was past 80. Carrots "Matin''
was painted after he was 20. In music
Verdis "Otello," Ave Maria" "Stabat
Mater and others would not have
Been written.
In literature it is astonishing to
note what men of 70 and over have
contributed: Franklin's inimitable
Autobiography" Landor's 'Imaginary
Conversations" Guyots History OF
France lrvings Life OF Washing
ton" and the second part of Goethe :
Faust The list might be extended
almost indefinitely.
If now we cut off the years between
so and 70 the loss TO the world would
be still more marked. Darwin's DE
scent of Man" would not have been
written. Michael Angelo would not
have painted his great frescoes in the
Sistine chapel, nor Turner The Slave
Ship" and THE Fighting Temeraire.
Wagner would not have composed
"Parsifal" nor Newman have written
his Apologize" We would have to do
without Carlyle's Frederick thu
Great" and Swedenboruks "Arcana
Celestia," Froude's Lives of Caesar and
Carlyle, and Ibsen's "Hedda Gabler'
and other plays.
\ Is it necessary TO say more? If the
impossible should come to pass and
the works of the veterans be sub
stracted from the sum OF human
achievement, the world would not &c
! where 1t is today.
