THE BEeGAR's WISH.

Downright. 1915. by the Mcclure News
paper Syndicate.)
One day a beggar walking along thu
road came to the palace of IA king. "Oh.
If were only a king he said, how
happy I should be! I could have plenty
Of food and drink from a golden COB
let, and at night l should sleep upon "A

road in front of his castle dressed In

mind to call her. but you must not
blame me-" she said. "if the beggar
does not wish to resume his form again.
and II he wishes to remain upon your
throne YOU will have to live II beggar
AS you have wished"
All went happily for a time with the
beggar king. He ate the rich food
from the kings table and drank from
a golden cup and wore the rich robe
and rode in a coach. Then one day he
saw one OF his attendants drop some
thing II a dish of food. and. being
suspicious, the king CAV it to one OF
the dogs. which ate it and died instant |

After that he ate with trembling
and fear. His robes grew heavy and ne |

THE ROD AND
SPOIL THE TEACHER"

From the st. Louis Globe-Democrat.
If Solomon were to visit terrestrial
scenes again in these days he would
object strenuously to h perversion of
his proverb about h rod to read:
Spare the rod and spoil the teacher"
Nor would he indorse the substitution
of a broomstick for the traditional
willow. The effort we see being made
on all sides to punish the teacher for
Furnishing pupils. who should have had
enough parental rod applications to
make them obedient to authority, is one
many others. that the modern parent
has abdicated the throne of authority
and Is leaving the child to train himself.
When an irate woman berates a teach
err with her tongue n belabors him
with her broomstick, for trying to instil
a little of that respect for authority
and good behavior which the parents
should have instilled. and other unruly
pupils give evidence of the same lack
of home training by hooting and throw
ing mud n sticks. it is plain enough
that Solomon has been misunderstood
the child. and not the teacher. Solomon
advised as the recipient of the correc-
tional rod.
Not long g the pupils Of an entire
Pittsburgh school went on a strike to
compel discharge OF the principal. Like
