Mark Twain on Conscience.

There Is on record a conversation that Mark Twain had with Kipling. in which the former discoursed on the conscience. The story Is told by Kip ling. He reports Twain as saying "A conscience is like child. If you pet 1t and play with 1t and let 1t have everything that it wants it becomes spoiled and intrudes on all your amuse- ments and most of your griefs. Treat your conscience as you would treat anything else. When 1t rebels spank it-be severe with 1t, prevent its com ing to play with you at all hours, and you will secure a good conscience i; that Is to say, properly trained one. A spoiled one simply destroys the pleasures of life. I think that have reduced mine to order. At least have not heard from 1t for some time. Per haps I have killed it from severity. It's wrong to kill a child, but in spite of all have said a conscience differs from child in many ways. Perhaps it's best when 1t Is dead"

Inqenious "Fake" Pistol.

A French inventor has recently placed on the market fake pistol. This weapon, although in reality ab- sOlutely harmless, goes off with very realistic crack when the trigger is pulled. It also makes blindng flash calculated to scare any burglar.
 Inventions of an even more cOmpli- cated nature are constantly being heard of. A well-tO-do gentleman liv- ing in Surrey has recently had his house and grounds fitted with an eabO rate burglar trap. With this device a midnight marauder cannot approach near the house without setting num- Der of electric bells within a-rnging And should the burglar not hear them and actually enter the building he would be caught in wise by one of the many steel contraptiOns cunningly placed about.-I.ondon Tit-Bits.

GOOD CROP TEACHERS
Annual Kansas Production This Year
Amounts to 1900.

Amounts to LOO.
The ranks of Kansas grade school
teachers will be augmented 1900 by
the annual grist of grade school teach
er certificates, it was announced to-
day at the office of the state superin-
tendent of public instruction.
This is a bumper crop of grade
school teachers" said State Superin-
tendent Lorraine Elizabeth Wooster,
and it promises to overcome the GUS
tomary annual shortage of rural
school teachers. These teachers are
permitted to teach in rural and cities
of third class grade schools"
The new teachers are graduates OF
high schools and those who have COM
picted the approved normal training
course in any other institutions.
But the condition of the high
schools is quite different" Miss Woos-
ter stated. THE many calls we re-
ceive indicate Z marked shortage in
high school instructors and principals
While school boards generally have
given their wage schedules a revision
upwards, it Sill is apparent that many
teachers are deserving the ranks for
more remunerative positions. 1t is es-
pecially noticeable that many of the
young men who were in the service and
have returned, who taught school be-
fore the war, are not returning TO
their pre-War calling"
