Thought He Had a Burglar.

Bob Pardue, with the help Of suave
Officer Noah, H. Parks and his dogs,
trailed suspected housebreaker Satur-
day night as far as the Joe Herring
place and then lost out. Mr.. Noah said
he thought the professional prowler got
vehicle out in the country to carry him
further on his way rejoicing. If the
man was chased as far as Bob Pardue
reported, he will have to eonfine his
work to many other neighborhoods be-
fore he gets back to Number Thirteen.
Bob said that be was returning home
Saturday night when he noticed two
men standing in an alley adjacent to
his home. They parted, just as he
passed near them, and one of them ap-
peared to be white man with his face
BACKED. Their actions were suspicious
enough to arouse curiosity, especially
that. OF Pardue, who had had $3.50
stolen from him the week before by a
night prowler.
He therefore got his officer friends
and their hound dogs and they struck a
trail, keeping on it for several miles,
returning at midnight with nothing but
a run-up appetite fit to tempt them to
break into FL Pardue's lunch stand and
eat some OF his homegrown pies.

quering the disease.
Car No. is the education car, under
Prof. NJ. w. Robinson, Agricultural
Supervisor in the high schools. Here
are samples OF school houses and in
dustrial work from the three Tennes-
see normal schools-Johnson City, MUIR
freesboro and Memphis. Miss Thelma
Biggs, of Martin, was our conductor in
car, and she was indeed interesting
and thoroughly conversant with every
branch of the work. She was very
complimentary to our high school here.
The work of first-year industrial stu
dents in the manufacture Of tables and
chairs was shown and it was fine, not
much betteK, but more extensive, how
ever, than the frst-year boys OF our
own high school had done. The little
one-room schoolhouse was also shown
and the enlargement Of these buildings
into extensive consolidated school build
ings- plans, ETC., the work OF indus
trial students. The model schoolhonse
was shown and other branches OF illus
trative educational work, much like the
work in our own school, just as good
but not better. The new consolidated
school wagon was seen, a sample OF the
manufacturer, made to carry twenty to
thirty boys and girls and furnished to
those counties conforming to the regu-
llations OF the State in the consolidation
Of district schools. Miss Biggs showed
us the model school building-the two
class hall and the one-class hall build
ling, with cloak rooms, ventilation, san
itary accommodations, and an album
dance OF light shining over the left
shoulder Of the student.
| Car No. 6 is the domestic science and
dairy car. Mr.. Pardue took charge OF
us here and gave us general review OF
Kitchen cabinets, oil and coal cooking
stoves and ranges, canning heaters, and
kindred matters. The proper methods
Of canning are here exhibited and the
manner Of cooking and handling food
stuffs. 1t was all very interesting and
worth the time of every housekeeper
10 the country. Here the Installation
OF water is seen, the method OF eradi-
eating disease germs from impure drink
| ing water. The water is distilled by
the tri-pure process, and it is said to
purify any kind Of water to standard
Of the highest excellence, eliminating
all bacteria and practically all the sol
| ids. This process will, no doubt, be
finally in general use, and save thou
sands from infectious diseases. The
water is also exceedingly palatable.
| The demonstration train takes only
an hour or two Of time, though days OF
profit could be spent in the cars, while
many OF the valuable suggestions will
never reach the populace in a lifetime
Ioutside. The State is doing fine work
and it is growing in favor, but years will
yet be, and should be, devoted to it be-
fore the majority get in touch with it.
