First Aid Glasses Being Organized at
Mines.

The W. G.. duncan Coal Co. is
interesting the men and boys at their
mines in first aid work. \ large
class has been organized at luzerne
and Graham, and everything is be-
ing provided for study, instruction
and actual work. The company
has purchased books, supplies and
general equipment, and has interest
ed several doctors, at least one of
whom will appear in class instruct
ion once a week. The men and boys
are taking the most eager interest in
the matter, as they realize Its vast
benefits. Many lives are lost on
account of the general ignorance of
simple things to do, and many in.
jured persons so crippled through
life because important first and ser
vices could not be had. Every per-
son should know first aid work, and
the study is becoming general, but
more especially in and around the
mines and other public works is the
knowledge an almost daily necessity.
We shall hope an immediate action
of this kind will be started in every
mining point in the county, and
that they may be centers of radia-
ton, which will cover every section,
so that our people may understand
the simple but highly important
services necessary TO save life.

One Law Works Good.

One of the most important laws
passed by the last Legislature was
the compulsory attendance of pu-
pills in the public schools. In re-
port just made it is shown that
there has been an increase of more
than IS, coo, and an increase of 10, =
.9I5 in average daily attendance,
producing an average increase of
$50 in the salary af rural teachers.
Kentucky was late in passing this
important law, but now apparently
has the most effective and satisfact-
Ory of any State in the Union, as
proven by its gratifying workings
the first year, and information is be-
ing sought of our officials by boards
from many other States. There has
been some laxity in Its enforcement,
bu, as time goes on every provision
will be risidly put in effect, to the
betterment of thl -sahool system and
the benefit OF the pupils. AS the
remuneration is based on attendan-
ce, the grea. increase in the number
of pupils will make the employment
more attractive, and draw better
qualified people into the teaching
field.

POET OF The POOR.

He was poet of the poor
A simple soul who did not know
The glazing rook-strewn road of Life.
Where hand in hand the passions go.
Ne, in his heart there sang song
A song so simple. yet so true;
He wrote it down and from his friends
An humble. honest praise he drew.
But unto him the world was naught
He did not care for blaring fame;
He lived his lonely life and died
A poet, yet without a name.
He sleeps the silent wears sway
Bene ath his own beloved sod;
The moss grown slab no story tells
But he was one who spoke for God.

Ehrhardt, Feb. 3.-Yesterday was
a fine day, not too coold or hot, just
right for the young folks to move
around and have good time, as they
say.
Master Tommie Hutson, grand
son of Mr.. Tom Dannelly, had mar
row escape from a horrible death
last week. While steering the hind
timber cart of a loaded double cart,
he lost his balance and fell to the
ground. Before the driver could
stop one of the large cart wheels
ran over him about his shoulders and
breast. No bones were broken, and
it is hoped no internal injury. He
did not spit any blood, so take it for
granted that he was not hurt intern
ally, more than a strain. He is very
sore from the accident.
Mrs. Ketron left Saturday to join
her husband in Mississippi, where
he has located since the doctor has
completed his post graduate course

her leave our school just at this time.
