CHASED AWAY THE INTRUDERS
Saved Her From Probable Long
Period Of Boredom.

The little art student set up her
easel before Manet's Girl With a Par
rot" in the Metropolitan-her adored
and worked away industriously in
absorbed quiet. Presently two young
girls, about high school age, entered
the gallery, giggling.
"Oh, there is a stude!" said One.
They drew near. The artist was
busy with the head, which inclines
slightly to the left.
"Gee." whispered Two, "ain't she the
giddy thing?"
See the bold, Madge," giggled One.
"Ain't that a pitcher for a boodwar,
thought"
Say. Madge,' shrilled Two, "the
stude might sell that pitcher IL sht
could make the bold talk"
Through all this and more the copy
list worked on. The annoyers had KEEP
behind her, and she had not intimated
that she was aware of their presence
Suddenly she turned. faced them
and dropped her brush. Smilingly she
began to spell words on her fingers in
the deaf mute language.
Gee, Madge," exclaimed One, in an
awed whisper, "the studies deaf. Come

OF GOOD READING
Point Made at Educational Association
Convention Would Seem to Be
Well Taken.

The central Importance Of reading
was the theme of much Of the discus
sion at the recent convention Of the
National Educational association at
Salt Lake City. Mr.. Rice, state IL
brary clerk Of Wisconsin. told how
that state prepares lists Of suitable
books for rural libraries, and offers
the books at 31.7 per cent. discount.
1t also requires teachers to pass an
examination in library training, which
Mr.. Rice considers nor important
that algebra, though the comparison
seems odd. Mr.. Caxton, United States
commissioner of education, who fol-
lowed, declared literature the most
important of all school subjects, and
observed that any man who will read
thoughtfully four good books a year
will be a well-educated man by the
time he has read 100. That may de-
pend somewhat on the books, for not
all good books reward that kind of
reading, though the greatest usually
do.

too much out Of fashion nowadays,
mainly because there is so much to
read that it is difficult to let the mass
go and concentrate on n author, n
book, m page, one word. A fine old
classical professor used to grow in
dignant at proposals to teach boys to
read Greek like English; it would be
more to the point, he said, if we could
teach boys to read English like Greek.
We can hardly expect them to forget
their mother tongue for the sake of
learning to pay proper attention to the
details of a good book, yet there Is
something in this view; much of the
benefit of the classics comes from be-
ing forced to pay attention to details.
Such careful study is quite possible in
English, but the temptation is to skim
over the surface.

The husband offered certain tart OBJ

with the result that the next morning
she set before the complaining hus-
band a plate of hot biscuits alleged
to be the real thing.

good grade Of draft mares weighing
from 1,200 to 1900 pounds Of fairly
good type.
Draft horse sires must not only have
weight, but they must possess quality.
1t has been found that the heavy quail
ty will perform more work with great
er ease than will the horse Of phleg-
matte disposition and temperament.
The draft horse that is suited for the
south must possess quality. There
must be no tendency to c~oarseness,
heavy coats of hair, or sluggish dispo-
sition.
The prejudice that exists against
the size of the draft horse is not well
founded. The Tennessee experiment
station discs heavy draft Percheron
mares with pronounced success. They
perform heavy work at this station
and at many farms throughout the en-
tire summer of each year beside small
southern-grown horses and mules and
without greater discomfort. Aside
from being in harness every day, the
two mares at the Tennessee station
reared a heavy pair Of colts that the
station refused $500 for when six
months old.
The mule is one Of the most vital
cogs in the industrial, commercial and
agricultural progress of the south. It
is in consequence Of his faithful serv-
ice that the larger part Of corn, rice
and cotton, as well as numerou 9TH
Ell crops, are produced and transport
ed to market. The mule is without
a rival for work in the logging camps,
while he excels as a beast of burden
in the railroad camps and for trucking
and for livery purposes in the cities.
He possesses the ability to resist dis
ease and Withstand the strain of Sc
we're labor on less and poorer feed
than the horse. In many lines OF
work, and particularly those just men,

to the horse, and | have no quarrel
with those who claim q mule is more
economically fed and q more efficient
work animal than a horse Of equal
weight At the same time, it must be
admitted that the mule Is without

than labor.

will be the first step in the history
Of the country towards putting a
substantial, though easy tax on the
luxuries of the rich. The fact has
been evident for many years that
the wealth laden class in this
country has not born its share OF
the burden of taxation. We have
been taxing the food that the
working man eats, the shoes he
wears, and the clothes that his
wife and children must have, and
in this present bill these taxes on
the poor mans necessities will be
removed and placed where they
belong.
