Distinctive Worth.


 The beauty of buying at Nothna- gle's is that one can get such ex- elusive and advanced styles in fdrni- ture, rugs. draperies. etc, without paying exorbitant prices. This store makes practice of carrying distinct i've merchandise-merc with an individuality" and personality and by purchasing in large quanti- ties and maintaining an economical management, they are enabled to sell at the lowest possible prices. The recent brides and the brides soon to be, who are about to furnish a home and might have to make the dollars go long way, will find whether money saving is necessary or not, no money they spend will add so much cheer and charm as selections from
 Nothnagle's carefully bought stock.

SUMMER IN THE CHURCHES.

Commenting on the common sight of church doors closed in vacation, with the pastors at cool summer re- sorts, it is often remarked that the devil never takes a vacation. At the same time, the youngster who is held rigidly down to Sunday school at a period when the day schools are rest ing, does not feel any more friendly toward the ideas the church stands for.
 When a boy remarked We have a very kind minister at our church. who breaches short sermons on hot Sundays, ''the old folks laughed, but felt that he had hit a real truth.
 The Roman Catholic, Episcopal and many other churches still keep open doors in the summer, without teasing people to go if they don't feel like it. Thereby they show their readiness to serve without officiousness. To many the cool silence and peace of the sanctuary is more pleasant and more restful than the speed of the motor or the tumult of the bleachers.

Spain Honors Cervera

This is the eighteenth anniversary of. the naval battles of Santiago, when the United States fleet under Admiral Sampson battered to bits the warships of proud Spain. Tn this connection 1t is worthy of note that the remains of Admiral Pascual Cerveray Topete. woh was defeated anad taken prisoner In that conflict off Santiago de Cuba, and who died in 1909, has been trans ferred to the Spanish Pantheon in Madrid. Although the unfortunate commander of the Spanish fleet suf- fered ono of the worst defeats in na- val history, he was not disgraced. and during his short stay in America as q prisoner of war he, won the respect and admiration of the foe. Americans will be pleased to know that the gall lant Admiral now rests among the most illustrious of the sons of Spain. His monument bears this inscription;
 Here rest in this sacred spot the mortal remains of Vice Admiral Ger vera, gallant sailor. man of honor. faithful, upright. a model of abnega- ton, courtesy. and all the Christian virtues. R. I. F."
 The battered remains of Cervera's flagship. the viscaya, may still be seen on the Cuban coa near the village of Juan Gonzales The Viscaya sank after being battered by shell and gut ted by flames, but a portion of the vessel including the turret from which gun projects. rises above the water.

TODAY'S POEM
A QUERY.
)~~~~~-

What is the song that memory brings From the beautiful Long Ago? Faint are the notes the Long Ago sings Echo of laughter, and whirring of
 wings; A splash at the brookside, a thrush's
 call,
 And mystic harmony blending all. Some tints of sky to memory cling From the beautiful Long Ago; Fluttering joys in my heart still sing AS glimpse the bursting bloom of
 Spring, Or follow the droning bee in flight Thralgh ancient bare of golden light. A million miles from these later years Lies the beautiful Long Ago Its visions fade in a mist of tears; Its God-wrought symphony meets dull
 ears; My heart still grieves where the wold
 rose gleams Ger burned out brands of youthful
 dreams. Is there no turn in life's forward trend To the beautiful Long Ago? No backward way, or truant bend Where Past and Present will some
 time blend? :. Where feet will march through the
 morning dew To lifting strains the heart once knew? Grace E. Emerson. in Boston Globe

NORMAL SCHOOLS

The first normal school in America was opened at Lexington, Mass. sev- enty-seven years ago today. July 3, 1889. Prior to the introduction of the normal school system few teachers were really proficient, and the great majority knew little or nothing about the theory and practice of their pro- fession when they assumed their im- portant duties. When natural apti- tude was combined with experience the result was often highly satisfs e. tory, but the salaries paid teachers was so small that few continued teaching any longer than was neces- sary. The development of normal schools gave to teaching the dignity and importance of a profession, and Imposed standards which have con- stantly become higher. Massachusetts took the lead in this great movement. and most of the normal schools in North America have been developed from the original Bay State model. Thanks to the normal schools, there are now very few inefficient teachers. The first manual training normal school was established by the state of Kansas at Pittsburg. and it represents a new and important extension in the scope of such institutions for the training of teachers.

If man is at heart a traitor, even the most devout and God-fearing of fathers may fail to detect the false from the true.
 When all is said and done. the most feasible plan, it would seem, is to put the wonJd-be son-in-law through the thrashing machine of time. The old biblical plan of L@ban, who caused
 Jacob to wait these lorg years for Ra- chel, cannot be improved upon. The youth of whom one is doubtful should be placed on two years probation.
