SOME TEACHERS.

While visiting a school, writes Har-
riet Carpenter, / overheard this dia-
logue between an unimaginative
teacher and a small boy who was help
ing to remove some cobwebs from a
cabinet in the classroom:
"Spider-webs are very beautiful,
aren't they, Miss Andrews?"
Hold the pan higher"
"All spiders aren't bad spiders;
some spiders are good spiders, aren't
they, Miss Andrews?'
Watch what you are doing"
81 know story about spider. Miss
Holmes told story to her class about
Robert Bruce and the spider"
"When?" Severely The child
hung his head IF you loiter at her
door again, I'll keep you in" A sui
len look appeared on his face and the
work was continued in silence After
he had left the room she turned to
me and said: THAT boy gets sulky
spells. Oh, he likes nature work and
stories, but l never could tell story"
Upon my suggesting that stories
her hands and with look of horror
declared: imagination! You don't
have to stimulate children's magma
tion The trouble is they have too
much"
She was unable to reconcile her
adult mental attitude with child's
outlook.
A little girl, as she ran up and down
the steps of broad terrace surround
ing house in the country, kept saying
to herself: Its just like an old cas-
tie! It's just like an old castle!"

Don't do that. You'll fall"
''She is always falling" he explained
to his hostess.
Does she hurt herself?" asked the
lady.
mo, but she might, she is so awk-
ward She gets worse all the time"
His little daughter manifested a
lively imagination, but he did not I'M
derstand how to make it of use in
developing restraint and poise.
Live with children and one lives in
a world of perpetual imagination. In
no way can we more easily control
the child's acts, form his habits, mould
his thoughts, than along this avenue
of approach of his mind. Reproof may
adroitly be given by a playful appeal
to the fancy.
Poor Patsey," murmured father,
shaking his head as his needless lit
tie son, sturdy boy of five, stumbled
and fell repeatedly during short ram
BILE in a meadow "Poor Patsey! One
would think to look at him that he had
nice, bright eyes, but they are just
beads"
The next day, running impetuously
to meet me, this same little fellow
stumbled over a stone. fell, and got up
saying good-humouredly: "If Daddy
was here he'd tell me had beads for
eyes," His heedlessness was soon
corrected by this jest.
THE flowers are asking why Patsey
doesn't take his feet off and leave
them at home when he comes to see
u.s." I suggested one day when he
trampled my snowdrops.
What do the flowers say now" he
whispered as he quickly removed the
offending members from the bulb bed
and looked wistfully into my face.
"They say, Thank you, Patsey,'"
replied. eff you keep your feet on
the paths you may bring them with
you when you come to the garden I"
And so rebuke attained it's end with
out creating antagonism.

ever fought took place in 1903, in
France. M de Grandpre and M. Lie
Pique had quarrel over lady. They
agreed to settle their respective claims
by fighting a duel in midair, from two
balloons. Two balloons were con-

ThOs. VI. Pierce Married.

There was quite a little surprise
sprung on some, at least, of the
Calmar People, when the word came
of the marriage of Miss Clotile Hum
ker of this city to Thomas NJ.
Pierce, who has been making his
home recently at Athens, Penn.
Miss Clotiel Huinker, accompanied
by Miss Genevieve Brother went to
Chicago last week, but their desti-
nation was farther east evidently.
Miss Brother says they motored
from Elmira, New York to Buffalo,
where the marriage OF Miss Clotiel
Huinker and Thos. M. Pierce took
place at 1900 o'clock, Wednesday
morning, July 8, 1919.
There was q rumor that such an
event would take place but we had
no verification until We received
the following telegram:
Buffalo. New York.
Courier, Calmar. Iowa.
Clotile G. Huinker, Calmar, Iowa,
and Thomas Nj. Pierce, Elmira, N. Y.
secured marriage license here this
morning
VIM. H. Kuhl, Correspondent.
The bride is very talented young
lady, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T.
H. Huinker, of Calmar.
The groom was for over twenty
years a resident of Calmar, where
he was very prosperous as a
restaurant and hotel man.
They surely have our best wishes.
Their honeymoon will be spent in
New York, Pennsylvania and Canada,
and their future home will be in
Vancouver, British Columbia, where
Mr.. Pierce has interests.
Miss Brother who was with the
couple left them very happy pair,
at Niagara Falls, and arrived home
this morning. -Calmar Courier.

FORMER DECORAHIAN IN FIRE
LOSS.
Walter Il. MaCkin, of Glenside, Sask
Canada. Has $4,000 Fire Loss
on His Farm.

A copy Of a Canada paper reaches
our desk with the following account
Of a severe loss by fire on the farm
of Walter Mackin, a former well
known resident of Winneshiek
Walter F. Mackin suffered a Sc
we're loss Sunday morning when his
large barn was completely destroyed
| by fire, besides losing twelve work
horses, ten sets of double harness,
four wagons, 1000 bushels of oats, a
| quantity of baled hay and other
, articles in the building
Mr.. Mackin arose about six o.
clock and looked out the window
and decided TO read a short while
before calling the boys to feed the
| stock. Ten minutes later one of
the boys saw smoke passing the Win
dows and on looking out saw the
barn in flames. Both front and back
doors were open and six out of IS
horses managed to break loose and
get out, but not before two of the
| released animals were severely burn
ed.
When it was seen that nothing
! could be done to save the
barn or anything in it, attention
was directed to the large machine
shed short distance away, but as

citizens OF Glenside began 10 gather
bringing with them the chemical
engines and with these the shed was
saved from destruction. On two or
three occasions the old barn, some
distance away, was set afire by fly
ing embers, but were easily put out
again. Four wagons between the

take their recovery.
1t is thought the fire originated
in the pile of baled hay through
spontaneous combustion. The hay
was in the NOW and had been there
since February.
Mr. Markin estimates the damage
at between ten and twelve thousand
dollars, but fortunately the property
was well insured He wishes to
thank the neighbors and friends OF
Glenside for their prompt response
and assistance in saving the adjoin-
ling buildings.
AS precautionary measure
when it was thought the fire started
in the baled hay, several of the
farmers went home and rerarrangeG
the piles which they had in theil
barns.
The barn and twenty horses was
insured for $4,000. Twelve horse:
| were burned in the barn and Mr.
| Mackin will receive $4,000 insurance
! which will be about one-third the
; loss. While it is severe loss every
one feels thankful that Mr.. MackiI
was not in the barn, nor the men

They Are After the Cut-outs.

The mayor of Hopkinton is taking
this means to notify auto drivers
that the cut-out is hereafter an out
law in Hopkinton. The open cut-out
is a violation of both the state and
the towns traffic rules, and a little
observation convinces us that its
elimination will not work a hard
ship to any auto owner, while it will
afford great relief to a suffering pub
lie. There are only a few offenders,
as a matter of fact most drivers en-
deavor to avoid the useless racket
that directs the attention of their
passing.

understand that it is not necessary
to give notice to the rule, but the

offenders. The marshal has instruc.

picked and sold several bushels of

Csc per quart for the black and 45c

them. Just why this change has TAX

SAYS STATEMENT IS

The statement which appeared in the New London paper was \as fol Elows:
 Receiver Robert W, Perkins of the Shore Line Electric Railway company stated last night that it would take some time before the company can cancel it's lease of 99 years with the Connecticut Electric Railway con- pany. Although a court order issued last week authorizes Receiver Perkins to cancel the lease prematurely in be- half of the Shore Line company. there are legal steps to go through which will necessarily involve much time. | Receiver Perkins said that he could not even predict just how much longer 1 thet Shore Line company, there are le- gal steps to go through which will ne. cesSarily involve much time. | Receiver Perkins said that he could | not even predict just how much longer the Shore Line company would ,oper- ate the lines which are to be turned back, to the Connecticut company.

 Saloon men are wondering what they will do next, as cider is theil chief stock in trade these days and cider cannot last forever. and will pros bably be as scarce as hen's molars in about month, judging by the rate at which the supply is now disappearing. Saloons which are selling cider have found a ready sale for the beverage dear to the New England farmer and long occupying first place on the "wine list" at corn huslings, but they have their honest doubts about being able to sell near-beer in any quantities after cider sings it's swan song, as near beer has little appeal as a cold weather beverage.

NEW LONDON BOY 'Sa DEPoRTED TO ITALY


 Rozair Aquillo, an Italian lad of l9 whose parents reside at 16 Hill street, New London. was on Saturday deport- ed to Italy at an alien.
 The lad prior to July had been em- ployed for 13 months at the Groton Iron works. where he was an expert riyet passer, receiving 45 cents an hour. This money he gave to his mother each week. Before that he was an inmate of the Mansfield home for feeb1eminded.
 The boy had been at Ellis Island since government official took hfm from the Iron works to New York for deportation.
 It appears that detective agency in New York persuaded the mother that it could secure the boys release for a certain sum of money. and it developed that the detective agency was paid in all $560 by. the parents without result. Richard ". Mansfield. New London's probation officer. inter ested himself in the welfare of the boy and returned from New York Sunday night after being called there on the case.
 The boy had been deperted. however before the arrival of MT. Mansfield, and he could do nothing.
 A wire came to the father few days ago asking that the clothes of the hoy be sent at once. as he was to go to Italy soon. The clothes arrived too late, also. MT, Mansfield wrote a letter to the department of labor some time ' ago detailing the case, but up to date has received no answer.
 The father was called to New York on Saturday to bid his boy goodbye. but he also arrived too late. The lad sailed on the American Saturday with a large group of Italian aliens. The father has taken out his first natural zation papers.
