I'm MOST schools q pupil is
marked according to the work
he does. A brilliant scholar,
i no matter II he doesn't put
forth his full effort, gets A.
while the slow -witted pupil who docs
his best will only receive g B or even
@.
In q school which I visited the other
day, all this IL changed. The pupils
are marked according to the improve
ment they make from one end of
term to another, and also according to
the effort they put forth
Now, / should hate to be the teach
er who marks under the second sys-
tenn, for 1t must be extremely difficult
to finite mind to weigh and meas
ure such abstract qualities as effort
and Improvement. And yet. how splen-
didly Just 1t Is. Don't you think that
IL there is a Divine Recorder who
marks us pupils in the school of life,
He probably uses that system rather
than the other?
I'm sure hope so, and believe 20.
too.
I'm thinking of two women. Ono OF
them married into considerable luxury.
Her husband has just bought her
house; she has been renovating and
redecorating it and with the lavish
use Of money she has made very
, handsome place out Of 1t.
The other one has a large family
of little ones and a small income. She
has little time and less money, and
yet by the lavish use OF taste. effort
and self she Is gradually evolving
thoroughly artistic and ivable home
out of shabby old house.
Now. which Is the greater success,
the handsome house or the charming
little home? For which of these pupils
in the school of life do you think the
Divine Recorder puts down the better
mark7
OF two girls who were Mt college
when was, one came from fine old
family; she had generations of breed
ing behind her and an innate social
gift. The other was from very plain,
uneducated family She scarcely knew
what manners meant and was ex-
tremely shy and diffident. Today, the
first is a social success wherever she
goes, ana yet I do not call her SC
great a triumph as the second who has
overcome her diffidenoe and shyness
and acquired enough breeding TO be
easy and at home in any gathering.
She does not stand out like the
first girl for her social briliiancs. but
her improvement over what she origi-
nally was is vastly greater.
/ 1t isn't the cards, you know, thai
matter so much, but the way you
play them. There is more satisfaction
in playing poor hand to Its full
value than In playing a good hand
poorly and winning in spite Of your
stupidity.
In duplicate whist record is KEEP
of the cards which each player re-
celves and the same hands are deal
over again to varying sets of players
The result is fair test Of skill. DOM
you wish we could have redeals of this
sort now and them in the game OF
life Who knows but some day we
shall?

CARRY FREE FOR
CHRISTMAS SHIP
Three Railroad Systems Agree
to Cooperate With the
Movement.

The interstate commerce commits
sion having ruled that railroads may
carry packages for the Christmas ship
free without violating interstate reg
ulaticns, three great railroad systems
their tracks stretching over dis
lance of $4,000 miles-have agreed to
The three systems are:
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy.
Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul.
Lehigh Valley.
Prompt action by the three great
roads probably is only a forerunner
of similar expressions of cooperation
on the part of many other great trans
por;ation systems.
Soon from every part of the nation
putting locomotives drawing loads of
merchandise-gifts of the children of
America TO their unhappy brothers and
sisters across the sea-will be moving
toward Brooklyn, where a warship fur
nished by the United States govern
ment will lie waiting 20 carry the
gifts to Europe.
The territory covered by the Bur
lington and St. Paul reaches from Chi
cage to the Pacific coast on the west,
10 Kansas City on the south, and north
to the northern boundaries of the ma
ton. The western terminus of the
Burlington is Billings, Mont. The Lee
high Valley connects New York with
eastern points and reaches west as far
as Buffalo.
Thus, with the exception Of the gap
f'h1naUn
lance Of approximately 500 miles, the
roads practically span the nation and
connect thousands of cities with the
seaport from which the Christmas
ship sails.

Where Is Eeonory7
IF Mr.. Richmond wants 10 take
credit for all the favorable things
which have happened during his re-

that in the past six years. since he has
been chairman Of the county board.
there has been an almost unbelievable
increase in taxes. In 1905 the county
taxes were SIS. 600: in 1902. Sis. 600:

more than double that OF 1909. and all
this In the space Of six years. There
has been an increase OF $4,000. The
