strated that the United States bureau
of education Is preparing to issue a
bulletin upon the Importance OF museum
work for the public schools. This oul-
letin will contain suggestions as TO
how other cities may acquire museum
directly for the use of the schools.
Much of the material in daily use IN
the St Louis museum can be optalneo
from manufacturers by asking LOT II;
The Department OF Agrlsui.ure % .iIi aHI
several of the government bureaus VIII
supply specimens of different klnds.
Wherever a school museum has oeen
attempted friends of the school have
always been found willing to give as
sistance in procuring material.
The United States now boasts ABOUT
500 active museums, most of which
have been established within the last
half century and have had phenomenal
growth within the last twenty-five
years. Among the most important of
these are the American Museum OF
Natural History, established in 1869;
the Metropolitan Museum Of Art. es-
tablished in 1863: the Boston Museum
of Fine Arts. 1870; New York State
Museum, 1870: Pennsylvania Museum,
1876; Art Institute of Chicago. Milwau-
kee Public Museum, 1896; John Heron
Art Institute, 1896: Indianapolis, Car
negie Museum. 1896. Most of these
are of the new type, founded and sup
municipal or state funds. The concep-
ton of the museums as storehouses for
technical material has been broadened
until the primary object has become
visual instruction. The motto of the
American Museum Of Natural History
of New York, For the people. for edu
cation. for science" expresses the ideal
of the modern museum. The most dis
tinctive modern educational activity of
the museum is it's cooperation with
the public school.

nothing. She was timid as usual about
standing up alone before SO many peo-
pie with nothing but her memory to
save her from disgrace. At such times
Theresa felt terrible loneliness and
fear. but once she got into the busl-
ness of speaking she forgot fear and
timidity and lived in her piece" until
however. she was troubled by some
thing more than the prospect OF her
own timidity. She wished very much
that her husband should go to the
symposium with her, but she was al
most afraid to ask him.
When at last she did, after many
efforts, Tunis stared at her across
the table with those cool, hard eyes eyes

she proceeded to make herself ready.

What you don't know another may.
SO use your tongue to find things out.
That's always Peter Rabbits way
With things he doesn't know about.
Peter Rabbit couldn't get Buster Bear
off his mind. 1t seemed to him the
queerest thing ever that when almost
everybody else made tracks in the
snow he couldn't find one of Buster
Bears. He thought of 1t the last thing
before he went to sleep and the first
thing when he awoke. He was still
thinking of it as he hoped along down
the Lone Little Path through the Green
Forest and quite unexpectedly met
Prickly Porky the Porcupine. At the
first glimpse of him Peter remembered
that Prickly Porky used to know
Buster Bear before either of them had
come down from the Great Woods to
live in the Green Forest. He would
know what had become of Buster. OF
course, he would.
Peter had it right on the tip Of his
tongue to ask Prickly Porky when he
remembered that Prickly Porky is a
queer fellow and doesn't. like to be
that there are many people just like
him in this matter. So Peter swal-
lowed hard, just as If he were swal-
lowing the question on the tip of his
tongue.
Good evening. Prickly Porky," said
"'Tisn't a good evening" grunted
Prickly Porky, fretfully. What do you

THE EVENING STORY.
The Village Elocutionist.

With hands working, slim figure
swaying, pink cheeks and brilliant
eyes, Theresa Judd walked back and
forth across the living room floor, her
thin voice breaking into impassioned
utterances. In the next room. which
was the dining room. her daughter,
Theodosia, aged eleven, sat very still,
with her legs curled under her, ap-
parently reading.
Theresa had been thus walking
long time She had, indeed, forgotten
how long She was lost In imagina-
tion as she recited. The piece was
long and difficult, and had proved a
task to memorize, but she was sure
of it at last. All that remained for
her to do was to polish it until 1t
should be ready for presentation to
her hearers.
A great occasion awaited Theresa's
elocution. She had been asked to
speak that evening at the symposium
of the women's clubs. Westmore
prided itself on its clubs, of which
from mere tete-a-tete affair of four
or so members, which met with work
bags of an afternoon, to the auction
bridge circle, which numbered every
woman who possessed an evening
frock and some who did not. The sym
postum had been arranged with much
careful attention to details. There was
to be plenty of music. of course. But
there was only one person who could
"elocute," as Miss Preston said. And
that person was Theresa Judd.
Theresa Judd was what is called
born speaker" She had never had
any instruction other than that fond
teachers and parents and one ro-
mantle old aunt had given her. 1t had
any other. Theresa was not conccited.
She was merely ignorant She had
never in her life heard any one who
could recite the Charge of the Light
Brigade" better than she did. She had,
in fact, never been out of Westmore
more than three or four times.
Theresa loved the whole business OF
reciting. She was ever on the look
out for new pieces. When she found
one to her taste she could scarcely eat
or sleep until she had learned it. And
when she had learned it she practiced
it faithfully, it filled her with pro-
found emotion to hear the sound of
her own voice rolling off eloquent
phrases.
Now, suddenly upon her pacing and
rehearsing broke her little daughters
small. quiet voice. "Pa's coming" said
Theodosia-
Theresa stopped She had forgotten
everything save the death scene of
picturing. The facts of everyday life
flowed back upon her In slow. chill
ing tide. Tunis, her husband, was
coming home from his carpenter work,
and she had forgotten supper! She
had meant to make a pan of biscuits.

come when my woman would keep her

He went over to the window. sat
down, and looked out gloomily. There
was fresh paper hanging on the line.

him during the evening. In his way
Tunis Judd was a good deal of a clod
and we'll content to be such. He
despised his wife for not being the

because she was not. so unexplainable
is the attraction Of opposites.
Theresa. feeling his disgust with her
shook and blundered over her supper
getting. Occasionally Theodosia slip
ped forward and did some little task or
errand for her, SO quietly and sooth-
ingly that her ministration seemed
more that of a spirit than of a human
little girl.
Theodosia looked like her mother
but she harked back further than
either her father or mother for some
of her traits. She always had seemed
especially near to her father Theresa
felt somehow that Theodosia shared
her fathers opinions. Whenever Theo-
dosia gave her one Of her long. spec
ulative looks Theresa cringed in
wardly. She believed that the child
was appraising her to her discredit
She did not understand Theodosia very
well and she felt a sense of her own
lnadequacy when she saw how COM
panionable Theodosia found her father.
The two of them seemed always to be
thrusting her afar off. The further they
thrust her the more earnestly she turn

MORE WORRIES FOR
MAJOR LEAGUES
Federal League Head Plan Fur
Their War on Organized
Baseball.

The independent Federal leaGle
loomed large in the public eye last
week; necessarily SO, if the recent
declaration Of intention to rencw &C.
tive war on Organized Ball was to
find expression in concrete action.
First, the world was given an m
sight into conditions within I've
league by President Gilmorc's opan
letter to the players, warning them
that Indifference and INSTRUMENTATION
would be no longer tolerated, and
that a way would be found to cancel
even mutual long term contracts m
less their possessors rendered full
value in return for the emolumcAts
and privileges enjoyed. That sucn
a drastic step should have been fore
ed upon President Gilmore is a seri-
Gus reflection upon the players in til.
mass, as it indicates that they cannot
be trusted for self-discipline even m
der favorable conditions and liberal
regime; and goes far to sustain the
contention of the old-line magnates
that Organized Ball was, and is, just
flied in rigid, and even harsh, disci-
plinary rules and regulations. Tlat
this condition is reacting upon the
star players, and particularly the vet
eran stars, is made manifest by the
fact that the present raid OF the in
dependents is being confined to the
leading Class AA leagues, and that
only rising young players Of seeming
class are being either signed or ne
gotiated with. That probably en-
plains also, in part, why the Federal
league is again ~harassing the Amer
lean Association and international
League, with whom it has no quarrel,
instead of the old major leagues, who
stubbornly maintain a co~ntemptuous
and uncompromising attitude toward
the newcomer. That the cid majors

New Outbreak Emphasizes Need
Of Careful Inspection by Farm

Washington, Aug. 10.-The suscep-

disease and the failure on the part Of
swine owners to recognize its symp-
toms are giving the federal authori-
ties no small amount CT worry in their
cleanup campaign.
Sore mouth, a common indication
of the disease, is an ordinary Sc
auence Of hog cholera, and contu-
sions or the feet are frequent in
swine which have been driven or
shipped. For these reasons little at
tention is paid by the owners of
swine to these symptoms, and unless
the herd is located within suspicious
territory foot and mouth disease may

1t is also asserted that the children
Of the Girard's addition district have
been in the habit Of bathing in the
Heart river. The hospital sewer en-.
tiers directly into the river and it is
claimed that the disease may have
been contracted in that way. Two
years ago there was a typhoid cpl
demic in which many who suffered
were alleged to have contracted the
disease from bathing in the river. The
hospital sewer was then held tc
blame. -
1t is asserted that the Hecker child
rem with others have been on trips
through the woods picking berries,
and while physicians are inclined to
scout at the idea, playmates and 9th
ers think the children ate poisonous
fruit.
The stricken family has many
friends who are Mortified by the ter
