Eastern Railroad

In announcing a breakfast car serv-
fee for commuters an eastern railroad
evidently seeks TO discourage the rep
rehensible practice Of sprintlng for
the morning train. and the still more
reprehensible practice OF missing IT,
But there appears some danger that
the innovation may fail OF its laudable
purpose. remarks the Newark Star.

CHAPTER XVI.
A FriahtfuI Revelation.


Holton's ride back to the city was
the most forlorn he had ever taken
In the flash Of hand he had been low
cred from the heights of ecstasy TO
the depths OF despair. A beautiful
dream had been lived out. and the bit
ter realities of waking had come.
AS he sat before his tent thinking
man paused in front of him, holding
his broad sombrero in his hand. AS
Holton glanced at him curiously his
face lighted with recognition.
'Pierre!" he cried, rising. What
do you want?"
The Cuban nodded TO him gravely.
Can you come with me, Lieutenant
Holton? 1t is very important"
Holton, without replying, accom-
panied the Cuban
The two hurried along until at
length the Cuban stopped in front of

can, and punch a hole through the
center of it and the can with the point
of a large nail. Increase the size of
the hole enough so it will admit the
pencil point.
This top is spun in the manner
shown in Fig 1. Hold the pencil be-
tween your hands, with palms to-
gether. and slide your hands back and
forth. This will twirl the pencil in
one direction. then in the opposite.
Twill the top in this way for a sec

cause it to drop square upon its point

1.-THE young man or woman who
starts out in life to be a teacher needs
a good constitution and a generous
supply of nerve force. While there
is an impression among the people
: that school teaching is easy work the
fact remains that many break down
early in their teaching career and are
compelled to leave their work on ac-
count of ill health. To walk one or
two miles; to eat cold dinners; to act
as a teacher and janitor and build

"And the teacher must govern.
Not by might, nor by power, but by
his SPIRIT No better use can be
made by the influence of mind over
mind than in school government, but
this consumes nerve force and the
teacher who is to succeed must have
an inexhaustible supply"
The above is taken from 'sThe
Rural School, Its Method and Man

has been selected by the State Read

for teachers for the coming school
year. Not only teachers but all others
interested in school work will find
it valuable addition to their library.

Our teachers who are attending
the State Normal School at Hays for

of their work and the jolly times they
are having all of which means added

our schools next year. 1t is we'll
that our people are demanding some
returns. from this great Teachers
School for whose maintenance they
are taxed and that the teachers are
awakening to the fact that they are
the medium through which the bene-
fits are to be received.

where schools began much later il
was impossible for the teacher to fol-
low the Course of Study and for the
pupils to do justice to themselves in
the bi-monthly examinations. The
work seemed continual drag until
the close. May the time soon come
when all the schools will decide to
follow the ruling-begin early.
All but ten of the country schools
