The Teacher Murders
The Boys Originality

Johnny came home from school to-
day worried half sick. Johnny had
been told by the teacher he must
write a theme
On his way home Johnny saw a dog
fight. He came into the house bub-
bling over with the excitement of It.
He told his impressions of it so swiftly,
easily, wildly, that if a concealed
shorthand writer had taken II down the
story would have been a great piece of
literature, Notwithstanding Johnny :
youth.
But when Johnny sat down at his
desk to tackle that theme a great
change took place. He screwed up his
legs, wrinkled his little brow. distorted
his fingers. chewed his pencil. bent al
most double. fused, fumed and, for all
we know, may have cussed-unier his
breath.
Now why does a boy who can talk so
effectively feel so helpless when asked
! to write a piece for the school?
Instead of encouraging Johnny &c
write lust as he would talk-slang, bad
grammar, mixed metaphors and all
but a perfect expression of what was
in the ladd's mind-this teacher want
ed johnny to can all his originality, al
the freedom of his tingling spirit anC
grind out a stilted composition pattern
ed according to a lot of rules made b.
sedate g~rown-ups.
OF course, such a requirement wa
fatal to effectiveness. So constructed

sage across. -EX.

THE NIGHT OF THE DOG.

That night the moon was pale,
Pale AS with death or fear;
And hush, not sleep, prevailed.
Yet all the skies were clear,
Save for a million stars
A host of camp fires on a mighty field,
Where sirius howled all night, till Mars
Arose in madness. mailed!
That night the moon grew red,
Rejecting distant fire.
Low on the horizon flashed
Chain lightning, mounting higher,
Outlining one great clrud,
Shaped like a hideous beast will bloody jaws
From whose hoarse throat. sudder and loud,
A roar like thunder crashed.
That nights ~despairing moon
Hid her pure face from shame,
Her brow with loud drift stained.
| Each star-Ay's twinkling flame
| Dimmed and went out. as though
] Powers OF Darkness conquered Legions OF
Light!
| Aud In the bloodshot heavens-lo!
The war-dog was unclaimed!
| No more the lovers moon.
Nor even the suns frank light!
The red-eyed fury's pace
Finds dawn "a leprous white.
Reddened the rare green sod;
Trampled the fiow'rs that glowed as fall'i
stars;
And each destroyer claims his cause for God
Where GOD hath turned His face.

A just Tribute.

From Jackson Clarion-Ledger.
So many false and mean things have
been said about the Burns Detective
Agency and it's New Orleans manager,
Dan Lehon, that it is pleasant to read
kind words written and printed about
them.
1t will be remembered that this
agency. which has branches not only in
the principal cities of the United States
but throughout Europe, was prominent
in causing the arrest of Victor +. lines
and his wife and returning them to
San Antonio. Texas, on charge of muir
der and conspiracy to murder Mrs.
Elois Dennis and Miss Beatrice helms
of Atlanta, Ca, daughters of Mrs. John
w. helms. There is also a charge
against them in Georgia, and they are
now fighting desperately a requisition
to return them to that state.
In her letter to the public, given out
from Atlanta, Mrs. John w. helms,
pays a just and deserved compliment to
the Burns agency and to Dan Lehon, in
which she says:
"My object is to join hands with my
boy Marshall, the District Attorney, the
State authorities and the Burns detec-
tives. who are vigilantly at work to
bring to justice the slayers. Every
confidence exists in my mind that the
efforts of all will be rewarded and that
| will live to see justice done.
1T is my desire to go there and do
what | can to assist the powerful agen-
cies already at work. How | long to
face lines and his wife with the count
less facts-many Of which he knows
nothing of-and, with a heart bleeding
for my lost girls, learn the truth from
his lips.
ARMED with evidence gathered by
the numerous operatives of the Burn:
agency under the direction of Mr.. Oar
Lehon, | feel that neither lines nor hl'
) wife can face me unflinchingly, NJ
> words can express my appreciation o.
2 the efforts of Mr.. Burns and his capable
assistant Mr.. Lehon, whose aid ha'

e who have been effective in gathering
the bulk of the evidence We have a
7 hand. A mothers heart goes out t
: them in gratitude. feel that | SHOULD
t avail myself of this opportunity to pa,
them a public tribute. ..
1t will be recalled, and with no credi
to the State of Mississippi, that tn
/ bill to pay the Burns agency for serv
Y ices rendered. over 50, 600, was deteate
by the last Legislature, through tn
y sharp practice of committeeman OF IN
Senate. which never permitted the bi
to leave the committee to which It wa
y referred. All kinds of talk were II
y dulged in about the disreputable prat
II tice. which put the State in the att
tude of repudiating an honest and lu:
account, but which was defeated sole
5, and wholly on political grounds, for II
lie reason that Governor Brewer had al
thorized and favored the payment
:, the bill. There is little doubt but Il
is bill would have passed if it had con
souarely before the Senate on dire
vote. which some of the old stage
were able to prevent by smothering Il
measure in committee.

THE FOOL.

There were two men who trod the way
The weary way of Life;
The path that is hemmned IN by woe,
And clamorings and strife.
The way was rough the way was long,
And many fell beside,
But one went straightly on his course,
And held his head in pride.
.'They fsll?' he asked. why should l

Is not the battle to the strong
The race unto the fleet?
Each goes according to his strength;
Some lead. and some are led
The goal is yet afar, far off,
And | must press ahead.
The other paused to comfort them
That feared the storm and stress;
! Where sorrow was he left the glow
OF sturdy cheerfullness.
And. To- he came unto the goal
With him that forged ahead;
And there an angel with a book

I'VE wait for YOU the angel said,

You twain are entered in the book

The first man said: ITO win the goal
Alone has been my rule.
The other sighed: Il never thought
Of that; | am a fool.
Yet. as they stood, there came a pres:

The Use OF Coffee.
he Wall Street Journal.

From the Wall Street Journal.
Interesting figures with regard to
the production and consumption of cot
fee are contained in a booklet just pub
lished by the National Coffee Roasters'
Association.
An old-time market report is quoted
as follows: The imports of coffee
during the past week, 2 t~ierces, l bar
rel and It's bags
The above compares with average
weekly imports of over 1885, 600 bags OF
coffee during the month OF December,
1918.
Consumption of coffee in the United
States is found to have increased from
2.98 pounds per year for each person in
1880, to an estimated 1921 pounds per
person in 1914. The yearly consump-
ton for each person. averaged by pc,
RODS of twenty years, and compiled
! from reports of the United States de-
| partment of commerce, shows: 1854
1873, 5.7S6 pounds; 1S74-lS93, Sis
pounds; lS94-l913, 10. 256 pounds.
The production of coffee in the crop
year l913-19l4 is estimated at owe
| is, 600, 900 bags, as compared with a
production Of &c. 73, 900 bags in the
crop year 1912
The booklet concludes: Thus it Is

with the increasing greatness OF tn

What The Rockefeller
Foundation Is.

Charlton Bates Strayer, in Leslie's.
How NAV people in this country
know that one man has given 500, 0C0,-
600 of his private fortune Ito promote
the well-being of mankind throughout
the world? Had it not been h a the
machinery of this vast beneficence was
in existence it would have been impos-
sible to give instant relief to millions
of Relpians. said to be on the verge OF
starvation as the result of the war.
A relief ship, p~rovisioned with 4,0OO
tons of supplies gotten together IN a
few DAYS under high pressure. was sent
u by the Rockefeller foundation at a
time when less than a three weeks
SUNNY of foodstuffs stood between T.
GOD 600 Belgians and actual starvation.
Never before in the history of philan-
thropy has so great need been met so
quickly and efficiently. 1t would have
been difficult for any individual, how
ever large his means or generous ms
impulses. to set in motion so promptly
measures for relief. Happily the Rookie
Teller foundation, broadly conceived IN
it's purposes, stood prepared to meet
Just such emergencies.
II is timely to remind the public tina
no debt of gratitude is owed to the
national congress that this foundation
is in existence today. Under the leader
ship of demagogues, congress, IN I9lo
refused to charter the foundation. They
said there must be something sinister
in the proposal of any man to give
away the larger part Of his fortune
that there must be some dark uiteriol
PURPOSE behind so vast a benefcence
that the amount of money to be &C
cumulated should be restricted tina
the powers of the members Of the cor
poration to elect their successors shoul'
be strictly limited. Yet the object Q
the foundation, as stated in the BIZ
introduced by Senator Gallinger, wa
ito promote the well-being and to ad
vance the civilization of the people o
the United States and its territorle
and possessions and of foreign lands
the acquisition and dissemination Q

any or all elements of human progress.
Not discouraged by the rebuff frol

his request to the New York leglsl'
