DOssmann School Enter


it was my good luck to strike the
place at the same time as the
Dossmann School was having its
Christmas closing exercises. 10
say that this was a treat is putting
it too mildly, it was one of the
best country school exhibitions
that I have ever witnessed, and
as I have been a teacher myself
| have had the opportunity OF
visiting quite a number of such
entertainments. In fact the
children did their parts as well
as the little ones accustomed to
the stage, many of whom were
exceptionally good.
/ heard a number of people say,
How has Miss Rosa ever been
able to teach them all of that"
and I asked Miss Rosa the same
question, she said, i had little
trouble, as they were very
anxious to learn and required
very little teaching" However.
it is easy to see that Miss Rosa
MRS. Helmer) is an actual teach
er, one who teaches because she
loves IL and is loved by the pu-
pills, she has been teaching for
years and is an up%-to-date and
progressive teacher, and that &C
counts for the progress of the
school. She has the good will OF
both patron and pupil.
The programm was rather long
and notwithstanding the fact that
many were standing myself in

tanned during the entire pertor-
nance.

wiSe Mas ArtfuI.

A good story is that about man
who one day told his wife he would
give her all the silver pieces she found
in his purse or pockets which were
coined the year she was born.
AS result the lady in due course of
time had quite an amount of silver on
hand-so much, in fact, that she went
to the bank and deposited 1t in her
name.
Then, speaking to the cashier, the
lady said:
"My husband tells me you are going
to pay him some money today. Won't
you please pay him in this silver l
have just deposited? I will be so
much obliged to you If you will"
OF course the cashier. being noted
for his courtesy to the ladies', quickly
replied that he would be happy to
please her.
AS a result the lady has still more
birthday money.

The first prime minister Of Eng

to office in the Seign of George /.
That sovereign being unable to un-
derstand the English language, his

RECOGNIZE VALUE or REST
Energetic Japanese Know Well That
Human Machine Must Have lts
Periods Of Relaxation.

| The Japanese, whose sturdy frames
have made them among the most val
liant warriors in the world, have a
rest code that 1t would be we'll for
the strenuous occidental to follow.
There is a saying in Japan that the
hours of sleep should be graded as
follows: Seven hours for a man,
eight hours for a woman, and nine
hours for a fool. The Japanese, de-
spite the increasing standing afforded
their women in the last century, put
them pretty close to the fool" mark
when they say women should have
eight and one-half hours of sleep.
For the men of Japan the motto Is,
early to bed and early to rise" Siy
hours of absolute quiet in a darkene1
room with windows wide open are
| deemed imperative to build up the
stuff of which warriors are made.
The Japanese would certainly have
welcomed with eager joy the bill to
be introduced in the New York legis-
lature calling for one-day rest rule
for all workers, as they advocate that
one day should be given over to abb
solute relaxation, when even reading
and writing should be refrained from.
A study of so-called Japanese stole
ism might better be termed Japanese
"repose," quality that the nerve
racking rush and worry of our pres
ent-day life fails to produce. Rest, OF
the simon-pure variety, as efar as hui
man brain and body will allow, is a

energies to the normal, does away
with the burrows of fear Of the future
by regret, for the past, and If there Is
anything better than good nights
rest to build up and beautify, the pre-
scription has yet to be recorded

QUEER LEGAClEs ON RECORD
Meant Much in the Old Days, Though
They Seem Peculiar to the
People of Today.

Ancient bequests for having bells
rung and beacons lighted for the pur-
pose of guiding travellers by night are
quite numerous, which is hardly to be
wondered at when one considers the
apologies for roads and the absence of
fences in the good old days.
A plot of land, rejoicing in the name
of "Petticoat Hole" is held at Stock
ton-on-the-Forest, in Yorkshire, Eng
land, on condition of providing poor
woman of the place with a new petit
coat once year.
In the old days, when rqshes were
strewn on the floor in lieu of carpets,
many persons left bequests of money
and land for providing rushes for the
floors of churches. Their use, of
course, has long been discontinued,
but in certain places the church war
dens attend to the preservation OF
their rights by cutting a little grass
each year and strewing 1t on the
church floor.
There may have been seen on the
benefaction table at Deptford church
"a record to the effect that "a person
unknown gave half a quarter of wheat,
to be given in bread ON Good Friday,
and half load of rushes at Whitsun-
tide, and load of peastraw at Christ
mas yearly, for the use of the church" :"

YOUTHS THRoNG TO MUSEUM
Famous London Collection Is a Mag
net for the Youngsters of the
Poorer Glass.

The British Museum, which is at
tracing an unusually large number of
visitors these days, is always much
loved by the poorest children of the
neighborhood. They come in shabby
little groups and stray wonderingly
through the long Egyptian gallery,
sometimes finding their way to for
hidden country, the basement of the
antiques, where they evidently take
a puzzled interest in the chilly fig
ures.
But they prefer the mummy-room,
with its painted cases and the odd
little animals from Egyptian tombs,
and, above all. they enjoy themselves
in the chronological section, with its
savage-weapons, hideous, lifelike mod
els and strange native costumes. The
boys especially may often be seen rapt
in admiration before the red Indian
case with its array of eagle feathers
worn by famous braves. The attend
ants look with very kindly eyes on
these poverty-stricken but admirably
behaved little people, realizing how
much 1t means to them to have such
dry and warm resort.
But while 1t interests the visitors,
too, to notice some tattered. white
faced child gazing up at 5,OO0-year-
old Pharaoh, 1t is a humiliating
thought that London can show old
Pharaoh such hapless product OF
centuries.-Manchester Guardian.

ter between loses its high Significance
and it's relation to either If it becomes
simply a hard, earthly fact. All progt
ress, social or individual, depends
upon the recognition of the divine In
every fact and deed. 1t wouldn't take
ten years to bring a millennium IL this
doctrine was practiced. We are now
confronting great social and political
problems; their solution would be
easy If faith, love, justice, honor and
the other forms of spiritual force were
given full play. But they are not. The
opposite seems to have the right of
way. Every man who has any hope
cf bettering his fellows will have to
drop his envy, his spite, his Ill will,
his hatred and come square on a spir-
itual footing or his struggle will be In
vain.--Ohio State Journal.
He shot down stairs like q
flying squirrel" says a recent story.
This is the kind of metaphor that
Prof. Barrett Wendell, who has writ
ten very good book ON English COM
position, would condemn. A flying
squirrel does not shoot down the
stairs. The purpose was to give one
vivid idea of how the man looked
when he was falling. Pit 80 no one
ever saw flying squirrel falling
down stairs, and as few have seen
a flying squirrel in any other enforced
or voluntary exercise, the figure did
not help. Now, If one wishes to de-
scribe a flying squirrel and should
say tina. it looked like person fall
ing down stairs, the description might
not be accurate, but the literary style
would be good. For many persons
have seen a child fall down stairs.
Admittedly, the smile like flying
squirrel has a bizarre, 'up-and-at-
EN- manner that is rather taking In
modern story writing. Yet its use
affords a good example OF "how not
to in 1T"

from Rome to this outermost boun-
Diary of Macedonia, ended here. This
road, traversing the whole scusihe.n
part of Italy, from the Mediterranean
to Brindisi on the Adriatic, began
again after the interruption of the.
Adriatic at Durazzo; then it went
across the breadth of Macedonia to-
Salonica, Apollonia, Amphipolis, Phil

began there has perhaps never been
constructed such a magnificent high
way as this.
After passing some large modern to-
bacco warehouses and some fine homes
belonging to the tobacco magnates, we
came to the edge of the city and faced
a tremendous rock hill, seemingly
composed of solid granite, on which
not blade of grass or the smallest
shrub could find lodgment. Black and

ANOTHER RUBE TO
ENTER BIG LEAGUE.
BASEBALL AGAIN
Southpaw Pitcher From
Cleveland Sand Lots Gets
Trial in Majors.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Jan. 4.-Another
left-handed Rube goes to the big leagues
from the ball lots of Cleveland. And fel-
low players in the c. A. B. say this one
has as much as Rube Marquard did
when he broke away from his native
town-some say he even has more speed
and better control than Marquard did
when he cost the Giants s11,0oO.
This new Cleveland southpaw was
baptized Albert watkins. but nobody
on the diamond ever called him any
thing but Rube He has been drafted
by the worlds champion Boston Red
Sox. He is six feet tall and halls from
1868 East Ninety-seventh street in New
burg.
His pals regard him as another base
ball iron man. Marty Hogan took him
to Youngstown at the beginning of the
1912 season. He had played with the
Piramples. the old Haryards. and other
local mines.
At Youngstown he played so we'll
that he was grabbed by the Sharon
team in the o. and p. League.
1t we here that his work attracted
the scouts ~Sd earned him his chance
in fast company. He made the gre ltest
strike-ou: record ever achieved In the q.
and L. The Sharon team got into hard
lines and he became practically the
whole team, pitching as many as four
and five games in week. When his
team got a good lead he would step
next day.
He is also one of the five pitchers
VINO can bat and has a reputation
as a pinch hitter.
