Feltner figured in some way in near

during his lifetime. He was one of
the leaders in the Hargiss-Cockrell
feud in Bloody" Breathitt in 1905. He
testified at the trial to a remarkable
deal in assassination. He said that
Sheriff Ed Callahan and the Hargisses

murder, he said, he warned Marcum.

There are the moonlight schools, fos'

of fighting.
Probably the most important ele

Educated Rooster.

"Spizzerinktum' is an odd name
ever for a rooster, but this rooster is
no ordinary fowl. The bird comes
from a strain Of Barred Plymouth
rocks, was Matched last May and
weighs six pounds. He is owned by
f. e. Bennett of Hartford City, who
refuses to part with his prize-winner
at any price. Judges at various fairs
where he has been shown have told
the owner that he is a most promising
bird, and this is borne out by the fact
that 500. has been offered for him.
"Spizzerinktum" is also an educated
fowl. One of his chief delights is rid
ing the seat of a specially constructed
wagon and holding the reins over eight
boys who act as steeds for him. He
drove this team in the centennial pa
rade at Hartford City.-IndianapoliS

In many cases it Is desirable to nave electlohs
much more frequently.
Several schoolroom governments may be
Joined in a school state and several states IN q
school national government, to look after matters
which pertain to the whole school. 1t Is possible
and practicable to go still further, and join these
school national governments In a federation. AS
has been said previously, let us %reiterate: The
teacher helps the pupils to become independent
in solving their social and civic problems as he
does the problems of mathematics. Each pupil
is continually exercised in independent thinking,
judicial conclusion and immediate action. To take
the initiative soon becomes habitual. Co-opera-
ton for every good purpose is developed ana
team work becomes the ordinary practice. The
teachers authority is not weakened but strength
ened by the cooperation of the pupils in their
democratic republic.
Teachers Should Cooperate.
eff we were to look upon this matter as If it
were a mill, the mill would serve no purpose I'M
less it should have grist to grind, and in this case
the grist is the government of the children's con-
