 When he reached the stage he had suffered compound. fracture of. the ankle, but with a knife, in one hand he rushed off the stage between Miss keene and MT. Ferguson so quickly that his hurt was scarcely noticeable.
 MT. Ferguson tells some mighty interesting incidents relative to the shooting and never tires of retelling the oft-told story. Likewise, there are those who never tire of hearing MT. Ferguson falk of the affair, the subsequent escape of the assassin and later his suicide. Although MT. Ferguson has been in the theatrical profession all his life and has ap- peared in leading Broadway produc- tions for many years, The Battle Cry of Peace" was the first and only production in which he has appeared in the role of Abraham Lincoln.

Horse Holds His Own Well.

''The horse is doomed. If the peo-
pie keep on buying automobiles, the
horse will soon become a rare animal,
seen only in geological gardens and
museums" We have heard some such
prediction a thousand times. What is
the fact? Reports of the department
Of commerce show that in the last Is
years the number Of horses in the
United States, far from decreasing,
has increased over so: per cent. La 1915
itswas estimated there were more than
21s00oO00 horses In the country, valued
sat e2OO0,OO0O0O. Manifestly, the
horse is not SO easily crowded out as
some Of us thought. Notwithstanding
the fact that racing is less popular and
automobiles multiply beyondta H count,
the horse more than holds his own.

SOMETHING MORE ON ROADS.
, the Editor OF the Hustler:

To the Editor OF the Hustler:
Please give me space to correct one
statement l made three weeks ago and
to say something to correct reports
about the treatment of the cOnVlctS OF
the county camp. 1t has been report
ed that Captain Souther is too rough
and i'll with the men under him. Iney
have been camped near me Tor ABOUT
IL months and for between three and
four months of that time have visited
the works regularly, some OF them
every day and some of the time stay
and work with them or part Of them
for half day and 1 never have seen that
many men get along more agreeably
than they. Captain Souther sure is a
good manager of men and for one do
commend him for his good treatment OF
the men while here.
They left last week for Blue Ridge
township. l want to thank the people
of Clear Creek for their kindness to-
wards Captain Souther and the prison
ers in giving them three public dinners
and especially E. H. Hudgins who gave
the most of them their dinners and Of
fered it to the rest. and l want to most
especially thank Captain Ben for this
good road and the men for their obedi-
ent service while here.
I made a mistake in the other ar
ticle. 1t reads: 81 got II miles built
and reconstructed 1t should have
read IA, and the gang built about one
half mile more. l with county funds
have built and reconstructed one mile,
this one mile being the Frady or Bed
dingfe1d road wher the pople were
entirely shut up by the flood and we
failed to get right of way to work
while We had access to government
funds. This makes in all about %
miles of road built and reconstructed
since the flood Of 1916 in Clear Creek
township.

CUPID IN DISGUISE
SMALL GIRL PROVED AN EFF.
GENT MATCHMAKER.
Not Quite So TactfuI as the Little God
Of Love Would Have Been, but
Her Methods Were as
Effective.

Henderson rushed into the dfngy
suburban railway station much the
same as he rushed about his business
affairs. As he closed the door he was
greeted by four of his college friends,
all returning after vacation.
While engaged in conversation with
his friends an elderly man approached,
stretched out his hand in greeting and
| asked if Henderson was returning to
the college town. Answered in the af-
firmative, the man requested favor Of
Henderson-thath he assist his daugh-
ter, who was a schoolteacher in the
college town, to her home.
With visions of a scrawny, beSpec-
tacled, elderly schoolma'm, Henderson
obligingly accepted the duty Of escort,
agreeing to report soon to meet the
teacher.
He put off the meeting until he
heard the train whistle for the station.
Then he made his way to the wOmen's
waiting room, where, to his surprise,
he beheld a bright and vivacious girl
Of twenty-three years, with merry
twinkle in her eyes.
HenderSon's surprise was manifest
in his cOuntenance when introduced
and his eyes clearly conveyed his
thOughts-that the girl was good to
look upon.
Boarding the crowded train, it be-
came convenient for them to sit tOgeth-
er and soon they found much to talk
about of interest to both.
Then "Buss" appeared on the scene.
"Buss" was a little girl about four
years old. Her real name was Mar
garet, but because she kept up con-
tinual chatter her mother had called
her "Buss." She manifested a keen
interested in Henderson and the teach
er. Finally she broke away from her
mother and crowded into the seat with
them.
Turning her large brown orbs upon
Henderson, she asked: "Do you like
herr" The question proved discomfort
ing, to say the least, but finally Hen
derson managed to stammer that he
did. Then the same brown Orbs turned
to the teacher with the same inquiry.
Blushing prOfusely, the teacher STAN
mered much the same answer as did
Henderson.
Then "Buss" acted. She took the
teachers hand and placed it into that
of Henderson with this exclamation,
"Now you are married"
Then her mother took her away with
a severe reprimanding. But the mis-
chief had been done. After landing his
charge safely in her boarding house,
Henderson tried to forget it all, but he
was not successful.
Then came a day when he met the
teacher face to face on the street.
Both smiled and Henderson accompa-
MED her to her boarding house. When
he left some time later he took with
him her promise to attend the theater
two nights later. There were other oc-
casiOns when they met and frequent
ones, too. They married two years la
ter and have lived happily ever since.
"Buss" was the agent of Cupid

SCHOOL HEALTH CLUBS.

The organized school health club
has proved, wherever it has been nut
to work one Of the most feasible and
effective means of teaching health to
school children yet adopted in the
public schools. The club plan gives
the child the opportunity to put into
daily practice. under the teachers
guidance, whatever he has learned of
health laws and of sanitary teachings,
whether it be how to brush the teeth,
to wash the hands before eating. to
use individual drinking cups. pencils,
etc., or how to keep the school room
properly ventilated and at the same
time comfortably heated. He lean ms
how to do these things that are nee
essary to a healthful life at the same
time he learns why they are neces-
sary. Furthermore, he not only fixes
the habit of doing these things in his
own life. but he takes them home to
the other members of his family.
AS to organizing a school health
club, no set rules have yet been laid
down, but teachers who have success
fully worked the club idea in their
own schools recommend that each
school room have its individual club,
as each room is responsible for its
own sanitary or Unsanitarv condi
tons. The members of the club
should be the pupils in the room and
tie C~~e'~ chosen from among the
most efficient boys and girls.
The teacher should direct every
movement of the club from its organ
ization to it's last meeting and should
see that the work is entered into by
every club member and done in good
sDirit. The study of hygiene. physi-
ology, or >healtS and sanitation could
well be used in connection with or
supplementary to the club work while
debates, essays and original papers,
all on health subjects. give intero'
to the club meetings and at the same
time aid in English composition.
The officers should be at least two,
chairman and secretary, possibly four
or more, as the teacher thinks best,
and should be elected monthly or BIZ
monthly, so that as many pupils as
possibly may have the benefits of the
office.
The work of the sanitary scouts is
quite important and should not be
overlooked. They are usually two
boys and two girls who are expected
to look after and report the health
conditions in general Of the school.
They report to the teacher OR super
intendent, also at the club meetings,
any nuisances or unsanitary condi-
tons that exist about the school.
The details of the club work are
left to the initiative of the teacher.
These are mere suggestions to aid her
in organizing and putting to work the
/ health club idea that other teachers
have found effective in not only teach
ing children the principles of health
and sanitation, but in maintaining
healthful conditions in and about the
school.
Material for preparing debates. es-
says and original papers may be mad
by writing to the State Board of
Health at Raleigh. Free health liter
allure for use in the club or school
may also be had from the State Beard
of Health.-N. C. Educational News.

Russian Coal SUNNY.

The total coal output Of Russian
mines in the year 1913 was $4,000, OOO
tons. The best coal in Russia--part1y
anthracite--is obtained in South Rus
STA in the Donetz- basin, and these
mines and those of Poland give nine
tenths Of the Russian supply. Even
so, however, Russia does not produce
enough coal for her own use; in 1913
the number Of tons imported was
$4,000, most Of which was brought
from England.
