B0WSER RENTS A GOAT,
And Gets Ready to Cure His Tuber-
Culosis.

It was just dark. and half an hour
before MI Bowser might be expected
nome. when the cook came running
upstairs to gasp to Mrs. Bowser:
on, ma am, Mr.. Bowser is home!"
But where?"
In the back yard"
What's he doing there"
Talking with a man and looking
into the empty hog pen. He's sure go
ing to buy another hogt'
He sure isn't, if I have anything to
say about it! Here he comes now,
He's sneaked around to the front
door,
It was Mr.. Bowser, all right. and he
was seeking to look chndHke and
bland.
'Well?" he queried as he noted that
Mrs. Bowser was regarding him with
a stern look.
What were you and that man talk
ing about in the back yard"
We were talking about goats" was
the stammered reply
Goats? You were not thinking of
buying a goat"

for my tuberculosis

propose to let this thing run on me

it is. and that's the reason I have hired
a goat"
Hired a goat"
Yes. hired or rented or leased one.

in that pen, and SO I am to give 80

The animal will be over here in the
morning, and it will seem like farm
life TO be fussing around with him"
But you-you-"
"Oh, know I had trouble with the
hog, but this is a different thing The
other critter and I didn't understand
each other, but it will be all right in
this case. He'll come here prepared
to conduct himself in a proper man
ner and be as one of the family and
I shan't ache to brain him with the
crow-bar or hang him by the neck.
He's Prince Albert goat, you see.'
I never heard of a Prince Albert
goat" said Mrs. Bowser.
Very likely There are plenty of
things you never heard of. but If you
keep on living they will come to you.
In goats there is the merino. the south
down, the suffolk. the leghorn, the
shanghai, the holstein and several 9TH
er sorts. but the Prince Albert is
known for his sweet and lovely dis

"DINNER TOTERS'" SCHOOL
Plan to Educate Children of South
ern Mill Operatives.

A school especially designed for
children of mill operatives is a fea-
ture of the industrial education sys-
tenn of Columbus, Ga, according to a
bulletin just issued by the United
Burea uof Education. The school was
esta blished with the idea of encour-
aging attendance among the large
class of mill children in Columbus
many Of whom were not going to
school at all.
A handsome colonial residence in
the mill district was purchased by the
board of education for the new school
Care was taken to adapt the course
of study and the hours in the school
to the conditions of mill work. School
hours are from to IL and from l
to $3.50. The long intermission is to
enable the children TO take monday
meals to parents brothers, sisters
and others who may be employed III
the mills. This is a regular daily task
with most of the children. some OF
them earning several dollars a week
as dinner toters." The school itself
is frequently called the dinner tot
ers' school,
Although the aim Of the school is
industrial, the three RS are insist
ed upon even more severely than in
the regular schools. because of the
limited time the children have for
schooling. Although the prescribed
course contemplates seven years"
says the bulletin. few of the pupils
continue after the fifth and sixth
years, so strong is the call of the
mills. Not more than per cent fin
tsh the school and pursue their studies
further"
The three morning hours and the
first hour Of the afternoon are devot-
ed to academic studies, while practi-
cal work takes up the last hour and
half of the days. All the boys are
required to take the elementary
course in woodwork and gardening.
The girls take basketry, sewing
cooking poultry raising and garden
ing The school is in session all the
year. The teachers live at the school
and keep "open house to the people
of the community at all times.

HONEST POLITICS.

Editor South Bend News:
Announced candidates for public
office make themselves targets, in an
honorable way fcr just criticism.
1t is generally conceded that good
against evil forces and this can only
come through voters banding them
selves in parties. and. if successful,
appointing TO office only men who
have been in sympathy with them.
Blood is thicker than water and past
party afhliauOn appeals strongly. So
on a mixed ticket Whatever the
name) the successful candidate would
appoint his old party friends.
ON the proposed citizens ticket,
II a bull mOoser Is nominated for
mayor. his sympathies would run to
that party or to his republican
friends. If a democrat, his tenden-
cies would be toward past affiliations.
The proposed democratic candidate
for the citizen" ticket is a clean
Christian man, caught in bad company
in the past. and still in sympathy with
II outside of this campaign, and if
county or state issues come up in
the next four years he will be a DEM
ocrat. acting with the county and
state committees
L MS IS one reason repuDHCdnS want
a ticket. and refuse to vote any ticket
but their own. 1t is one reason why
they refuse To leave the party at the
request of would-be bosses. to help
give them a little city patronage.

ask-to act and vote as we wish with
