CLAIM TEACHERS BEING MADE
POLITICAL FOOTBALLS


Sounding a warning to the Jacob
Loeb faction of the school board to
lay off the school teachers. a citi-
zens' committee called attention to
a state into which the board was
drifting at protest meeting yester-
day.
That certain elements on the board
are working to bring about COndi-
ton that will make the teachers po-
Htical footballs and that will keep
every woman in the city's schools in
constant fear of losing her job was
the cry sounded by the committee.
A statement issued follows, in
part:
THE merit clause under attack
was adopted by the board of educa-
ton about twenty-five years ago to
put an end to an intOlerable condi-
ton. For months before each an

was exerted to secure their re-elec-

of both the boards legitimate bust

''The board finally adopted the
present merit clause to end this in

ers' efficiency record during the year
the basis of reelection or failure of
reelection.
THE proposed amendment leav-
ing out the merit clause will result
in a return to the old pull system.
This is the experience of the past.
Human nature has not changed. Re-

the inscription "V. d. c., Abb" It

CHAPTER TX.
We Attain the Ottawa.


1t was not yet dawn when the stir
in the camp aroused me, and the sun
had not risen above the bluffs, or be-
gun to tinge the river, when our laden
canoes left the bank and commenced
their days journey up stream. D'Ar-
tigny was off in advance, departing in
deed before l had left the tent, the
chief seated beside him. caught but
a glimpse of them as the canoe round
ed the bend in the bank, and slipped
silently away through the lingering
shadows, yet it gladdened me to know
until they vanished.
A new distribution had been ar
ranged, Chevet accompanying the SER
geant, leaving the commissaire and

position in the bow. l observed this

joining us, but D'Artigny was still
ahead, perhaps under orders to keep
away. To escape Cassion 1 clambered
up the front of the cliff, and had view
from the summit, marking the sweep
of the river for many league, a
scene of wild beauty never to be for
gotten. I fingered there at the edge
until the voice of the commissaire re-
called me to my place in the canoe.
1t is of no consequence now what
we conversed about during that long
afternoon, as we pushed steadily on
against the current. Cassion en-
deavored to be entertaining and
made every effort to encourage him,
although my secret thoughts were not
pleasant ones. He had set out to over
come my scruples, to conquer ny will,
and was merely biding his time, seek
ing to learn the best point of attack.

now by his tales of Quebec, his boast

his stories of army adventure, and
the wealth he expected to amass

the very tone he assumed, the conceit
shown in his narratives, only served
to add to my dislike. This creature
was my husband, yet shrank from
him, and once, when he dared to touch

MADE Big MISTAKE
MAN "GoT GAY" WITH
THE WRONG MAN.
Meant His Remarks as Joke, but
Sleepy Individual Whom He Had
Abused Could Not See 1t i
That Way.

A Columbus travelling man tells or
an unusual and humorous experience
on the road down in south Georgia q
few days ago.
A salesman had been working that
section and found business fine. Cot
ton sales had been good and the folks
had money to buy his commodity and
did buy. So, his work over and an
envelope stuffed with orders mailed in
the post Office, he felt in extraordinary
fine spirits when he boarded the train
to go to the next town.
The train started off and the sales
man stood on the back platform, smob-
ing a good cigar and surveying tho
scenery with great satisfaction. A
rather shiftless looking individual was
leaning against post near the track,
Il hundred yards or so from the depot.
The train had gathered considerable
momentum and was going fast when
it passed the post.
The salesman was in extraordinary
high spirits and his good humor had to
vent itself some way; and it expressed
itself in this most unusual manner.
When the rapidly-moving train passed
the shiftless-looking man the traveller
leaned off the platform, shook his fin
gers in the others face and in the
course of two or three hilarious sec
onds gave him his complete industrial
and personal history in terse, crisp
phrases. The travelling man was smil-
ing, and if the citizen had but known
it, his apparently derogatory remarks
were really an expression of overflow
ing good nature and satisfaction with
the world, but the sleepy-looking man
couldn't see anything in it but malice
of the most astonishing and unexpect-
ed kind.
To the travelling mans establishment,
the sleepy-looking man, galvanized into
life, started down the track at full
speed after the train, now going quite
fast. 1t was apparently an unequal
race and the man on the platform was
lightly amused, although admiring the
Others pluck and endurance. In two
or three minutes, however, he was sur
prised to find the speed of the train
lessening, and as it did so the runner
made another squirt. In just a little
bit the train came to dead stop
the engine always paused to get water
there, although this passenger was, of
course, unaware of that fact. The
Marathon runner in the rear arrived
in time to jerk the traveller off the plat
form. The classiest kind of fight fol-
lowed, but when the travelling man
managed to climb back on the platform
as the train started off again, he had
two well-blacked eyes and his new suit
was sadly torn, while the gentleman
whom he had decorated with several
titles a quarter mile back down the
track, had found and was utilizing am
other post and seemed in a state Of
perfect CONTEMPLATION Telegraph.

cleaned wickedly in the fire glow as
I thrust it out of sight.

Furious as the man was I felt no

He laughed, an unpleasant sound to
it, yet made no effort to halt me. The
rude path l followed was narrow, but
not steep enough to prove wearisome,
and, as it led up through a crevice
in the earth, finally emerged at the
top of the bluff at a considerable dis.
lance above the camp l had left. Thick
woods covered the crest, although there
were open plains beyond, and l was
