over the Remains of Sovereign Lee S.

At midnight on Thursday, the 18th,
inst, the Santa Fe train from the

Woodmen of the World, under direct
ion of j. E. Gait, for the purpose oil
receiving the remains of their de-
ceased sovereign, Lee S. Cathey, who
was accidentally killed in Dallas on

tended sympathy to the bereaved wife,
the little ones, and also j. o. Cathey
of Dallas, and Mrs. V. A. Moore, of
Moore, of Mckinney, Texas, brother
and sister, who accompanied the re-
mains from Dallas. During Friday the
home was visited by a large number

cred the sermon, which was feeling,

THE STATE SUPERiNTEND-
ENT.


Constant growth in the Importance
of the position of state superintendent
OF schools is reported by the United
States bureau of education. In his
survey of the educational legislation
for the year, Mr.. j. c. Boykin de-
clares:
"The importance of the office con
stantly increases. New duties and re-
eponsibilities are steadily added, and
larger salaries are offered to attract
and hold men of the caliber to make
the position in fact as well as in name
the head of the state educational
system.
"The tendencies are all in the di-
rection OF increasing the dignity, re-
sponsibility and salary of the state
superintendent. The Legislation of the
year contained many instances in
point. The commissioner of educa-
tion in Massachusetts was authorized
TO approve bills for expenditures
more funds placed under the direction
of the board Of education. In New Jer-
sey state commissioner of education
now appoints all the county superin
! tendents. fle also determines and
certifies to the educational qualifica-
tions of applicants for admission to
medical colleges.
'Tn Virginia the state superintend
ent is charged with similar duties in
connection with medical colleges.
"In Kentucky ii was enacted that
| the state superintendent shall act as
special state inspector and examiner
of all schools in the state which re-
ceive public funds; for this service
lie is to receive $1,000 additional
| salary: he may appoint two assistants
ut 900 each per annum, with theii
expenses for travelling; and he is
allowed $4,000 additional for clerk
hire. In vague and general way the
superintendent probably had already
the power given him by this law, but
Il is now definite and specific, and
the additional help given him will
enable him to perform his duties in
an effective manner not possible
hitherto And the $1,000 added 20
his salary will prove to be a differ
ence that is very real"
Although the tendency to increase
the power and responsibility of the
state superintendent is very strong,
salary inducements have not always
kept pace with the requirements, ac-
corning to the report at is still
unfortunately true" says Mr.. Boykin.
that in many cases the superin
tendents OF the large cities and the
heads of all the important institu-
tions in a state receive considerably
higher salaries and have far mora
certain tenure than the man who is
nominally their official superior"

THE TOMB OF JONAH.

! Said to Be In a Mosque Adjoining the
Site of Nineveh.
The site Of Nineveh is almost per-
fectly level. But adjoining the western
wall are two huge mounds concealing
the palaces of the greatest kings of
Assyria. The lower or southern mound
Is occupied by a mosque and a village
Of considerable size. It's name is Nebi
Yunus. or the Prophet Jonah, for in
the mosque is the tomb in which Jonah
is said to have been buried. The age
OF the tomb is uncertain, yet probably
IL dates from long after the Hebrew
prophets time. However, the place is
now sacred, so sacred that pilgrims
visit it from afar.

Duke of Modena.
In the French campaign in Italy, in
which Napoleon |. first began to win
the laurels which subsequently so
abundantly crowned his career, q
young Italian cavalry officer was tax
ell prisoner.
Having serious doubts about his
safety, it occurred to the prisoner to
pretend he was great parsonage. 80
he promised rewards to his captors II
they would insure his good treatment,
adding confidentially that he was the
Duke of Modena.
He was exceedingly we'll cared for
and early next morning he was called
before Napoleon, who was somewhat
puzzled at finding two Dukes OF Mo-
dena among his prisoners. for the real
duke was also a prisoner. The real
duke angrily asked his counterfeit by
what authority he had assumed the
title of Duke of Modena. The young
officer answered.:
Your grace, the peril of my situa-
ton yesterday was such that had
known a more illustrious title I would
not have assumed yours"
The reply so pleased both the duke
and Napoleon that he was forgiven his
deceit

Some day" Is the one day Of the
