KNEW WHAT HE WOULD DO
Pretty sehoolteaeher Evidently Had
Inspired Affection In Heart
Of Boy Pupil.

A charming schoolteacher whose
smile brings happiness to everyone and
who, moreover, has that greatest
blessing, a sense of humor, tells this
on herself.
She teaches what is known by
some as n "subnormal" school (Which
very often is more normal than SUBJ
and the other morning several OF her
pupils were gathered ground her read
ing a very interesting (?) story, such
as Is printed In school readers, and
one sentence ran, "The little Jap
anese girl greeted them warmly, etc"
"What is meant by 'greetT" asked
the teacher, who by the way was
showing off her pupils and the method
Of teaching them to an interested
young man who had been brought In
by the principal TO watch her lobors.
There was great deal OF brow
puckering and the word greet" failed
to register on any brain. Finally she
said, ''If were TO come into the room
where you were, what would you dor
There was a second silence and puz-
zled looks and then (from a tall boy
Of sixteen) I'D hug you"

covered with bushes, carefully ex-

BOOSTERS AND BREwERIEs.

While the national Democratic
convention was in st Louis an effort
was made by the local newspapers to
boost the home town. The St. Louis
Times issued special convention sup
pement in which the industries Of
that city were advertised. Under the
heading, "Facts About st. Louis
Worth Knowing so of the most
prominent facts were mentioned. De-
spite the fact that st. Louis is one Of
two cities in the country most con-
spicuous for its beer industry, not
one word was said about the brew
cries. Under the heading, "The Ex-
ports of st. Louis" beer appears in
its alphabetical place. Among exports
this product could not be ignored, but
the commercial bodies Of st. Louis,
judging by their display elsewhere,
were ashamed to include q reference
to beer as one Of their chief prod
ucts.

WHISKY DoEs.NoT WARM.

Sir Lauder Brunton, in his Lee
lures on the Action of Medicines,
gives a striking example of the dan
ger of taking alcoholic drinks to keep
warm" A party of engineers were
surveying In the Sierra Nevada. They
camped at a great height above sea
level, where the air was very cold,
and they were miserable. Some Of
them drank a little whisky and felt
less uncomfortable. Some Of them
drank a lot of whisky and went to
bed feeling very jolly and comfort
able indeed. In the morning men who
had not taken any whisky got up all
right; those who had taken q little
whisky got up feeling very unhappy ;
the men who had taken lot Of whisky
did not get up at all; they were sim
ply frozen to death. "They had
warmed" adds the professor, "the sur
face Of their bodies at the expense Of
their internal organs"

ADVERTISE YOUR CITY.

Apropos Of the proposed appoint
ment of commission for the adver-
tising of Chicago as commercial and
educational center, the Union Signal
suggests to that city and to cities gen
orally that there are other methods
less expensive which produce greater
results. Have you noticed the free
publicity given to Seattle, Portland,
Des Molnes and DenverT 1t says.
"The public Is interested in these
cities now as never before and Is
watching these experiments in decency
and morality with far greater eager
ness than it ever evinced when they
were only ordinary money-accumulat-
ing centers.
"If Kansas were to blot off Of her
statute books her prohlbitory law she
would lose fine bit of advertising.
The attacks of the liquor interests
must net that plucky, prosperous, pro-
gresslve state thousands Of dollars ey-
cry year. Not only do the liquorltes
publish whole pages of fabricated
fairy tales concerning the defunct Sun
flower state, but they run their print
ing presses overtime putting on the
market booklets devoted entirely to
the failure Of prohibition in Kansas.
"This publicity works so well that
men come from across the ocean to
study the state which is failing at
such rate that 1t burns its last mort
gage bond and finds itself out Of debt;
that it discovers it has the highest per
capita wealth of any state and tax
rate lower than that Of any other State
except one.
"And because prohibition Is making
Denver, Portland, Des Molnes and
Seattle better cities than ever before,
the public is talking about them,
writing about them, advertising them.
They are being used to point moral
| and adorn q tale as communities In
which crime has decreased and bank
deposits increased; in which vice dis
tricts have disappeared and legitimate
business has prospered. TO be sure
the criminal element has sent out It's
warning against them as territory to
be avoided, and the white slavers are
advertising them as Of no use for their
vicious purposes, but the patrons Of
educational institutions are commend
ing them as safe places to send their
boys and girls; the owners of large In
dustral establishments are considering
them as locations for their plants
where safety first for employees will
prevail and home-makers are finding in
these cities an ideal place to rear fami-
lies.
"If you want a real, permanent, sat
isfactory boom for your city, try the
method of Seattle, Denver, Des MOines,
Portland and other saloonless ccnters." J."

Too Bad, Indeed.

Mrs. COmmuter had lain awake with
a headache till one o'clock. Then In

she was just beginning to round out

MISTAKES OF MAeNATEs.

The liquor nterests--slang for booze
magnates-appear worried about the
prohibition wave. Six states will vote
on prohibition in November and the
|. |. are sending out reams of argu-
ments, in favor Of booze. Which is a
mistake we believe. The appeal Of
booze is emotional and sentimental,
not intellectual; and the worst thing
for themselves--the dlstillers can do
is to ask people to give serious thought
TO the booze question:. p. A., In tho
