Teachers for the FilipinOs.

Eighty-fve American teachers left
San Francisco recently to enter the
Philippine teaching service. They
were elected from a large eligible
list and nearly every State in the
Union was represented. They are un-
der a two-year contract, or in proba-
ton to determine their qualifications,
although the average term of service
of American teachers in the Philip
pines is six years.
There are 700 positions occupied
by American teachers and nearly S3,-
100000 is expended annually on the
schools in the Philippines. These
figures appear large but no matter
what it costs, the United States can
not afford to let it's adopted children
grow up in ignorance. When the is
lands in the years to come are man
aging their own affairs Uncle Sam,
the schoolmaster, may have just rea-
son to be proud of some of his schol-
ars. The school teacher has always
been the forerunner of civilization

FOUND THEY WEREN'T MARRIED
Solicitor, However, Helps Lexington
Couple Out of Difficulty.

Lexington, June 2S.-That the
course of true love never runs smooth
was exemplifed here Thursday, when
Walter Aiken and Miss Iva Lanier
went through the marriage ceremony
for the second time in two weeks.
Some time ago, when this couple de-
cided to go down lifes road together,
they went to a man who claimed to be
be a notary public. Being without
a license, this pretended officer pro-
ceeded to write one, and then and
there performed what he called the
marriage ceremony. He charged
Aiken $3.50 for the license, Is cents
for marrying him and IS cents for
putting the notice in the paper. The
happy couple went their way rejoic-
ing, thinking everything had been
done properly; but before they knew
what was happening, Aiken was ar
rested and placed in Jail on charge
of abduction.
Solicitor Zimmerman took up the
case and conferred with the girls
mother in Columbia Now it appears
that the ceremony was performed by
a man who had, once upon a time,
been a notary public, but whose COM
mission had long since been revoked
by the Governor. Upon hearing of
that, the mother claimed that the
whole thing was illegal. The solicit
or assured her that the Would-be no.
tary was in error, but that the we'd
ding contract would hold before the
law; but that did not satisfy careful
mamma. The obliging solicitor then
told the mother that he wouldHreturn
to Lexington with the young people
and there secure the proper license,
and that he himself would perform the
ceremony according to law. This he
did in the office of Probate Judge
Drafts, with all due dignity and SOL
emnity. After all this, the lovers
are skeptical, and are yet afraid that
something will come up to separate
them.

A Remarkable Duel.

Perhaps the most singular duel
ever fought was one in which the
hero was a dog, and this duel was
fought so long ago, and the chronic
ler thereof was so careless that the
name of this gallant hero, except that
he was called "the dog of Montargis, -
did not appear, though we have the
name of his antagonist. 1t happened
in France, this duel, about the year
1890. A man named Aubry had been
murdered in the forest of Bondy,
near Paris. Aubry had a faithful
dog. Unfortunately the breed as well
as the name of this four-footed friend
is lost. After the disappearance of
his master, the dog every two or
four days for some time, would come
to the house of his masters intimate
friend to be fed. One day this friend
followed the dog, and was led by him
to the forest of Bondy. Here the
dog scratched away the earth, dis
closing the body of Monsieur Aubry.
From that time the dog would never
quit his friend, and it was noticed
that whenever he met man named
Macaire he would show every sign of
anger, and once he flew upon him,
and was with difficulty taken off.
This caused Macaire to be suspected
of the murder of the man whose body
had been found in the forest, and a
duel was resolved upon by the au-
thorities to decide whether Macalre
was guilty or not. This was so diff
ferent from the French duel of today
that an immense throng of people
crowded to see it. The dog had his
claws and a good set of teeth. More
than this he had a tub to which he
could withdraw when he was weary.
The man was only allowed to have a
stick and a shield The combat last
ed so long that Macaire, who had
been severely bitten, tainted from
loss of blood, and later confessed that
he was the murderer. There is no
record that the dog said anything
to express his satisfaction, but doubt
less he was for nine days at least a
much admired dog and the talk of all

Hayre, France.

Montreal, June 27.-Jack John
son, the negro pugilist, accompanied
by his white wife. Lucille Cameron
Johnson. is booked to sail for Havre
On the Allan Line steamer Corinthian

ton officials located Johnson tonight

portation action should he fail to
comply with the immigration laws.
The negro pugilist produced a
through ticket to Havre, purchased
in Chicago, which ties the hands of
the Canadian immigration outhori-

ther than to see that he leaves on the
ship which he is booked to sail.

HENS ADOPT MALE PLUMAGE.
Pullets Develop Headgear Remark.
ably Like Rooster.

Remarkable developments in poul-
try would seem to suggest that the
masculine tendencies of some women
have now spread to hens!
A we'll known Sussex BREEDER OF
Hallisham possesses 21a year old
speckled Sussex hen which at the end
of her first year was in appearance a
hen, laid a quantity of eggs, set and
reared chickens, says London let
ter.
Last year she did not lay, but mol
ted into a cocks plumage, with the
exception of the headgear, which is
normally a pullet's.
A partridge Wyandotte hen has
been presented to the National His
tory Museum which presents speci-
ally peculiar case.
The bird was hatched in 1910 and
molted normally in the autumn of
that season and again in 1911. After
the 1912 moult her plumage became
in all respects that of a cock. Al
though she still laid eggs, not one of
them has been hatched.
Mr.. A. R. Cooper, of Knares-
borough, has had a blue leghorn fe-
male with a males headgear, but in
this case the bird did not lay any
eggs.

Girl Rivals Baseball Star.

Before an audience of over one
thousand, including Priests and
Sisters, as well as parents of
the graduating class of St. Jo-
seph's Seminary, on Hamilton
Heights, an ultra select school, Elsa
Mathilda Ulma, of Brooklyn, n. Y,
one of the graduates, hurled base
ball over the four-story school build
ing with all the ease and abandon of
a big leaguer, says Hartford, Conn.,,
special. The ball landed on the other
side of the school after having shot
into the air a distance of $50 feet and
clean over the building. The girl is
not the kind of robust and masculine
type that such feat would seem to
indicate. Slight of build, she is how
ever, exceedingly supple and has al
ways practiced throwing boy fashion.

oRANGEBURG LIQUOR ELECTION.
Ordered by County Supervisors for
August 19.

Orangeburg, July 28.-There will
be an election on the dispensary ques-
ton in Orangeburg County on August
19 next. Such was the decision of
the county board of supervisors at a
meeting held to-day.
Something more than month ago
petitions were presented by the dis
pensary advocates asking for the
election, and since that time the clerk
of the supervisors, Mr., J. L. Dukes,
has been engaged in checking over the
petitions to ascertain the validity of
the signatures thereon. 1t was found
that the petitions carried 2,231 names
with at least 1,706 of these qualified
voters. After a careful examination
of the registration books they were
found to contain the names of not
over 4,SOO qualified electors. From
these figures it was found that, be-
yond a doubt, the petitions contained
the names of the required one-third
of the qualified electors, with good
margin.
The supervisors were in session all
day and up to late this afternoon.
During the morning representatives
of both the Prohibitionists and dis
pensary advocates made addresses
before the board. No new commits
sioners will be required for this elec-
ton, the two-year terms of Office of
those last appointed by the Governor
not having expired.

Pure Gossip.

The two girls-and these were not
any particular two girls, but any two
girls met on the street, kissed, made
faces and started to chatter, relates
The Cleveland Plain-Dealer. And the
first said:
Il want to congratulate you,
dear!"
And the second replied:
Thank you. But what for?'
81 hear you are going to marry
Dick Henrooster.
"Who ever told you such a ridlcu-
lous thing as that?'
"Why, your best friend Daisy Stur-
tium."
Listen, deary: 1 don't doubt your
honesty, but can't believe that Daisy
ever said any such thing. She knows
everything about me, and we have
never had a quarrel, and she isn't a
cat. Be fair-I'll leave it to you. Did
she ever tell you that I was going to
marry Dick?"
'She did"
would you mind repeating her
very words?"
"She told me distinctly" Grace
Panzibed is engaged to Dick Henroos-
ter"
AHA! That's how these stories get
started. I see. I am engaged to him,
and Daisy told the truth. But what
right have you to gather from that
fact that 1 am going to marry the lit
tie fool? Gossip, that's what it is
just mean gossip! Can't a girl get
engaged to fellow without having a
bunch of busybodies running about
telling that she is going to marry
him."

How Wilson Roots.

A study of the manner in which
President Wilson roots at ball game
gives the average tumultuous fan
about nineteen hundred pointers on
the power of repose and quietude.
President Wilson is no clammish root
er-far from it. But he has roofing
down to a fine science, probably be-
cause of his experience at the Prince
ton games, says the Washington Star.
At a recent battle royal in the
Florida avenue ball yard the Presi-
dent arrived we'll ahead of the game
with Secretary Joseph Patrick Tumul-
ty. Calmy and quietly President Will
son strobe to a seat in the front row
and the exact center of his official
box. In his gray suit and. soft hat
the President was an unobtrusive, in
conspicuous figure.
Then the play warmed up. Noel
ler tripled. President Wilson's smile
broadened and he nodded as if in en-
couragement. Throughout the game
that smile continued. Nothing could
hurt it, not even two runs scored by
the visitors. When the Washington
players got away with anything the
presidential hands were pounded to-
gether in vigorously approving hand
clapping and the smile were presi-
dent Wilson's evidence that he was
enjoying himself thoroughly.
He continued his vigil until the
game was almost over, then he, with
the rest of the party, hurried down
the concrete run way to where the
White House automobiles, were sta
toned. A weary fan, his coat off and
a handkerchief wrapped about his
neck, in place of a collar, plodded his
the machine as the President was
about to climb into it. The fan turn
ed to friend who looked scarcely
less warm I0dn ne.
"Woodrow's a grand rooter," said
the fan gloomily.
He is" admitted the friend.
But" continued the fan raspingly,
'"he will never get my vote"
"Why not?" demanded the friend
in surprise.
Hes a good ball fan" continued
the fan, not noticing the interruption
land he's a good President, but I'll
be hanged if he gets my support until
I see him take off his coat after the
second inning and come out of the
game with his collar wilted.'

Empty Cradle.

Every woman who takes a high
salary as substitute for a bevy of
babies is numbering posterity. The
strong, healthy, big Drained BARNS
who might be born are sacrificed for
Paris dresses and automobiles, writes
Mrs. John Martin of New York.
The cradle is empty that restaur-
ants may be filled, the home deserted
that luxurious girl apartments may be
crowded. A high salary for men
means an early marriage, fine family
lies and domestic morality.
High salary for women means de-
ferred marriage, women politics,
empty homes and race suicide. The
future should lie in women's laps. So
LONG as the women are in the count
ing house, factory and polling booth,
the laps are empty and the future in
danger.
Without eugenics, the Nation will
one day, like the Titanic, go to the
bottom. We may f1atter ourselves
that the biggest fastest, richest,
grandest Nation afoat cannot sink,
but it can.
We are living in an age which at
taches inordinate Importance to the
improvement of conditions. A host of
persons spend their lives racklng
their brains to think of new things
and more things to do; new advan-
tages to provide, new improvements
to make.
Meanwhile nobody seems to be
asking, except a handful of eugen-
lists, why it is that conditions need
such a frightful lot of improving and
why it is they never stay improved.
