The most serious charge yet lodged
against the rural school Is that the
rate Of rural illiteracy is twice the
urban rate. despite the fact that three
fourths Of our immigrants are In the
cities, and illiteracy among native
born children Of native parentage Is
more than three times as great as
among native children of foreign born
parentage. says A. G. Monahan Of the
federal bureau Of education.

bouses, of which 5000 are log build
ings. we face the fact that the rural
school is alarmingly neglected. AL
though more than GO per cent Of the
children Of the entire country are en-.
rolled In country schools, the aggre-
gate attendance is only 81 per cent.
Inquiry as to why children do not at
tend school longer in many communi.
ties will almost invariably bring the
reply that bad roads. blockades Of
mud, snow drifts, washed out bridges
and the discouraging factor Of long
tramps through the cold weather keep
them away. Even the consolidated
school Is limited in its usefulness by
the impossible highway.
While the one room school and the
inexperienced teacher are serious de-
fects, we should put most Of the blame
where 1t belongs-on our abominable
highways-which had better in most
cases be called lowways With good
roads the little red schoolhouse might
free itself Of many Of the charges It
now bears.-Country Gentleman.

Emerson Branch. r. G. MASTERTON. MGR,

A good many weeks ago, according to
private political information that came
to US from sources that we regard as
trustworthy, the Tammany leaders and
the powerful interests behind them had
determined to impeach the governor in
order to get him out of the way. A mere
majority vote Of the lower branch of the
legislature is all that is needed to start
impeachment proceedings. This major
ity was in the absolute control of Tam.
many. 1t was the theory of the Tam
many lawyers that, under the constitu-
ton of New York, the beginning of such
proceedings would sumnarily suspend
the governor from his Office and put the
|lieutenant-governor in his place with
full and unrestricted authority as gover-
nor. At that time the Tammany ma.
chine had not decided what kind OF
charges they would bring agains the
governor. Attempts we're made to find
him guilty Of some improperly in law
case twenty-five or thirty years ago. In
these matters he was completely exoner-
-ated. A breach of promise suit was
brought, which seemed on it's face alb
surd, because it related to affairs long
since gone by.
Finally an investigating committee of
the legislature was set to work to find
out things against the governor which
could be used as basis of charges in
impeachment proceedings s.-From "The

suLzER AssAILED FOR
VIRTUES, NOT FOR FAULTS

Quite regardless of Gov. Sulzer's mis-
takes or faults, it is an undoubted fact
that he has shown high courage and
great virtue as Governor Of the State Of
New York during the brief period Of his
incumbency; and it is further true that
the bitterness Of the attacks upon him
which have led to the impeachment pro.
ceedings have been precisely in proper
tion to his exercise Of political courage
and public virtue in the discharge OF his
duties. However great or small his mis-.
doings, his only fault in the eyes Of those
who are seeking his downfall lies in the
fact that he has been, from their stand
point, to use their own word, an "impos.
sible'' governor; that is to say, it has
been impossible to get him to obey

she's eagerly waiting and watching for

Then. too. l suppose he's awfully

Let's see. He did say that he walked
to the postoffice every night for the

be to find nothing from me, day after

write. Goodnessl What If | waited
three weeks and then he didn't think
it worth while to go for his mail any
more, and he'd never get my letter.
And 10 sit here thinking he just
wouldn't answer. That's the way most
trouble starts. I'm not going to let it
start that way for us, If I can help it!
I've made this letter Just as formal
and unconcerned as I possibly could"
she said Then she glanced through her
letter "Oh, l thing it sounds awfully
cold, considering the fact that we're
engaged I'll just add a postscript and
try to make him see how much I care
for him"
She scrubbed away until the post
script was five pages longer than the
letter Then she looked at her watch.
Goodness! suppose the poor boy is
counting the hours to see when a letter
can get back to him. And he's so busy
that the days just fly. I'm sure he
didn't mean to wait so long before writ

In a small village lived a gentle
man whose name was Peacock, and
his great hobby was the breeding of
turkeys, of which he always kept a
large quantity in paddock in front
Of his house adjoining the roadway,
which was a great attraction to the
public.
One day a traveller passing that
way mingled with little crowd that
was watching their antics, and ask
ed:
Whose turkeys are those?"
A youth replied: They're Pea
cocks"
Traveller: Il asked whose turkeys
are those?"
Youth answering AGAIN.; They're

The latest innovation of fashion is
to be found in smoking Jackets for
ladies'. The fashion was first started
in New York and very soon reached
England A woman's smoking jacket,
however, is not the well-worn,. musty
looking, plush garment so dear to a
mans heart The more elaborate ones
are made of gorgeously embroidered
crepe de chine, silk broche crepe, or
other dainty materials. But there is
a severer type also cut like a mans
plain coat, more suitable than any of
the others for smoking room wear.

mountains and stay there the rest of

that a lot of regular folks like US has
to stay in the city, George, and let
them society people have all the
yachting tripsT
It's too hot for me to dope it out"
said the Head Barber, who looked
like an overworked stoker. Il can't
see why there has to be any hot
weather like this at all. The farmers
say that it is too hot for crops, and
outside of raising crops what good is
such a thing as warm weather.

fred was out to Los Angeles once, and
he said that he got tired of the sun

he forgot that trip to Los Angeles. He
wrote a poem called Eternal Sun

ed by three or four of the best mag
azines in America. II went some
thing like this:
II love the Spring because it is so
vernal,
But in some places the sunshine is
eternal.

If you love snow, don't go to Cali

Some snow and rain should come for
one and all.
Until they have four seasons in that
land
I'll not return to that there golden

"Oh, have a heart" exclaimed the
Head Barber "Ain't it hot enough
when everything is quiet, without you
spelling that awful dope?"
