NEVER LEARNED THE TRUTH
CaI!ow Youngsters Might Have Re-
pentsd Of their Condemnation If
They Had but Known.

Youth and presumably Innocence
we're waiting at a French goods coun-
ter while the clerk wrapped up jars OF
pink stuff which they didn't need.
Each was audacious in the matter OF
short skirts, and both were chewing
gum.
On a stool at the same counter sat
another customer, a woman just facing
the agony line which separates beauty
from vandal Age. And Youth and In
nocence felt called or to dissect her.
They banded impressions as to the
woman's looks, and giggled over her
desperate attempts to retain her com
pleXion and age. Their sharp young
eyes took in the nobby dress that was
almost shabby, and their sharp young
voices would have stabbed her to the
quick except that she seemed to be
walled in by some concentrated
thought that clustered her from their
blows.
II betshees bad"
The gum-stuck verdict came from
Innocence, whose lawful place at that
minute should have been in some
eighth-grade schoolroom.
"Uccorse. Anybodyk'n tell that.
Whodjespose would lookatarole NUT
like herr"
Then Youth and Innocence, without
explaining how they came to be SO
sordidly enlightened at their callow
years, suddenly switched interest to
their grapped-up stuff, and That
was all there was to it.
Except. that the woman, having
bought and paid for her own little box
of something, got up and hurried to the
store entrance, where another woman
stopped to congratulate her on some
appointment obtained by her son:
isn't it splendid! Papa and I are
so proud Of him-I'm especially glad
for papa, because he has been SO de-
pressed ever since his last attack
Ned's going to send him to Atlantic
City right away Imagine! After
all these poverty-pinched days"
well, you surely deserve all the
good luck that's coming to you Don't
e how on earth you keep your color
after all the nursing you've had to
do"
Rouge, my dear. Papa'd be too
wretched for words If he knew my
complexion had gone yellow-but Ned
says l shan't need it after this"
This isn't much Of a yarn, Of course,
but we have Plutarch's word for it that
truth is always worth considering.
And this is true.-Washington Star.

FORTUNATE OF EARTH
Are THOSE WITH WHOM CHILL
DREN ARE CONFIDENTIAL.
Probably the Most Precious Gift That
the Fairies BestoW and 1t Is Not
Given TO the Majority Of
Mankind.

1t is very likely a fairy gift, and if
you haven't it there is little hope OF
your ever getting it. If you have it,
however, you are the most fortunate
sort of all sorts of fortunate folks.
You are the sort that the children talk
to in the street. And the reason that
the person the children talk to in the
street is SO very fortunate is that
they tell him things that nobody else
ever hears, and very good things to
hear, at that. From that fact it is
easy to understand that this talk of
theirs is no more good morning" o.
hello" sort Of conversation. 1t is real
talk about real things, although, to be
sure, it is only the fortunate person
who hears it that car really under
stand it.
They begin very abruptly, these chit
dren, and the beginning may be in e
middle or at either end Of a th;lg.
It does not matter. The talk may
start something like this, entirely un-
expected or unsolicited On the fortu-
nate persons part: You'd think
they'd fall out anyway, if you did think
anybody growed on the moon, wouldn't
you?" And it may lead anywhere.
Sometimes it is much more personal
than that. You may meet a small boy
armed with a toy gun and a sword and
he may begin, You'll have to u for
it," meaning the street car, "but if
you amt got any better luck than me
you'll miss it anyway. bet 1 got the
worst luck Of anybody, and I bet I've
found the most horse shoes. If I had
good luck I'd been a girl and then 1
wouldn't have to fight all the time"
And this is probably from the terror
of his neighborhood, a boy who is
supposed by teachers and neighbors
and parents, to exist solely for the
joy Of battle.
II you are the fortunate sort Of per-
son. you will be stopped and consulted
about everything the children are do
ing. 1t may be cold and almost dark,
and you may be hurrying home to sup
per, but if you are the right one, the
little girl who is contemplating the
snow woman, a plump stylish creature
with full skirts and a hat with a feath.
er, will call to you without a doubt Of
your sympathy, to know whether or
not you don't think "she is just a lit
tie c~ross-eyed."
Its the newsboy's fault" she ex.
plains, che poked her in the eye and it
amt been right since. I could take a
couple of buttons off her waist, they're
only walnuts, and make her some 9TH
er eyes just to match, but she is get
ting so slippy8"
They may run after you to tell you
a bit Of gossip about their friends"
imaginary friends that nobody else
ever heard of. They may trot along
with you repeating the most astonish-
ing conversations that they have had
with squirrels or bears or stars or
policemen. And it is all true. 1t is
all because they believe it, and it is
the expression of their queer little
selves.

SCHOOL READING TABLE
Magazines and Papers Which Should
be Selected for Rural School Read
ing Table What Dowell School
Has to Say on The Subject-Point-
ers for Other Schools.

Having received some inquiries on
the subject of a school reading table
and thinking that perhaps there are
more teachers in the county who are
interested in this phase of rural edu-
cation I will answer in a general way
through the Tribune which seems to
be widely read school paper.
The Dowell School has received
many letter from other schools. We
have always answered them giving
the information desired whenever
possible. We enjoy this work and it
makes a very practical language les
son.
The schools seem to be at a loss
when it comes to selecting magazines
and periodicals for a reading table.
The cost is of course the first thing
to be considered. Suppose you have
say $500 to invest in this phase of
school work. We would suggest the
following. First the pupils should
be taught to become interested in
local affairs, to familiarize themselves
with home politics and events. So of
course the home county paper should
be first on the list Second YOU
should choose a paper or magazine of
interest to children and that is clean
and wholesome. I would suggest "The
Youths Companion" Third you should
choose a good farm paper for farm
boys and girls are, and should be, in
terested in farming The questions
in the query department make good
questions for the agriculture class.
There is host of good farm papers.
Choose one that is an "Ohio" paper.
Do not forget the boys and girls in
the beginning classes and for them

WARNING TO FARMERS.

The prosperity of this community
is very seriously threatened. Men
familiar with the situation give warn
ing that there will be a very short
corn crop, with thousands of dollars
lost to our farmers, if great care is
not taken in, selecting and testing the
best matured seed corn for this sea-
sons planting.
In order to help our farmer friends
in the only way we can help them in
this matter, we are printing in this
issue of The Tribune a special illu-
strated article which thoroughly
covers the subject.
This article describes the danger,
tells what has brought it about, offers
remedy (or preventive) in tested
seed corn, and shows the farmer how
to make the test at no expense. Be
cause we want to see everyone of our
country friends simply bulging with
prosperity now and all the time we
urge them to turn to "Be Sure To
Test Seed Corn" and read it careful
ly.

IMPORTANT APPOINTMENT
DIR. E II. ROrick of Fayette Made
Member Of Board Of Administration
Qualification and Efficient Ser
vice Record Won Appointment
Board Controls Eighteen State In
stitutions.

DIR. f. II. Rorick of Fayette, was
appointed a member of the State
Board of Administration by Cover
nor Willis Monday. This board man
ages and controls the eighteen state
institutions which includes the hos
pital for the insane, epiliptics, the In
stitution for the Feeble Minded, the
pcrstentiaryj reforlmatory and She
boys and girls industrial schools. The
pay roll of the employees under their
control amounts to more than a mil
lion and one half dollars annually.
The total sum to be expended annual
ly by this board is nearly FIVE mil
lion dollars.
The State Board of Administra-
tion is composed Of four members, no
more than two of which can belong to
the same political party. The law
requires that the members of this
board shall live in Columbus and
devote their entire time to the duties
Of the office. So Fulton county for
the next four years will lose its genial
DR.. Rorick. The board has in its GUS
tody more than $4,000 persons.
There were four aspirants for the
appointment, among them being New
ton Miller, one Of the governors in
innate friends and personal advisers.
IL was DR.. Rorick's qualifications that
won for him the appointment.
DR.. Rorick has spent many years
OF study in the best medical schools
of America and spent one year in
Europe at the leading hospitals study
ing insanity, epileptic and feeble
minded cases. In practicing his pro-
fesson here he was a very successful
physician.
For nine years DIR. Rorick served
as superintendent of the State Hos
pital at Athens, where he made a
record for economy and efficiency
that attracted the attention of the
State. In one Of the issues of the
Ohio State Journal appeared a large
picture with the words below it, "The
watch dog of the State treasury"
From Athens DIR. Rorick went to
Columbus, where he became superin-
tendent of the Institution for the
Feeble Minded, which position he held
for two years winning much praise
for efficient service.
To be an efficient member of the
ONtJS DOdTu Ol administration re-
uuires more than possessing the
knowledge of how to properly treat
and care for the unfortunates intrust-
ed to its care, important as that is, il
requires that the member possess
executive and financial ability in a
marked degree. DR.. Rorick meets ali
these requirements and Gov. Willis
is to be congratulated upon this ap-
pointment. It is the State of Ohio
thst is being served.
This is one Of the most important
positions in the State and Fulton
county is to be congratulated that she
could produce a citizen who could
measure No so well to all the require
ments. The salary of the office was
reduced by the past legislature from
$1,000 to $4,000 year and expenses

To kill the nerve pains of Sciatica
you can always depend on Sloan's

of pain and brings ease as soon as
it is applied. A great comfort too
with Sloan's is that no rubbing is
required. Sloan's Liniment is invalu-
able for stopping muscular or nerve
pain of any kind. Try it at once if
you suffer with Rheumatism, Lum-
