 Early Wednesday morning, satisfied that the twins were in safe keeping with the neighbor's eldest daughter. Mrs. Simpson settled herself comfort ably beside her husband behind old gray Dobbih. Not once through the tedious morning ride did anything but the utmost good nature and cheerful ness take expression in Mrs. Simpsons manners ands tones. Mir. Simpson, aware of this heavenly condition. smiled to himself and wondered what had come over his wife, but not once did his shreWd mind grasp the true reason of her good nature.

Tt falls to my lot rather frequent ly to visit around among the high schools of the state, occasionally for several days at time. Of course plan projects for my classes to do in my absence, usually putting students in charge, either singly or in commit tees, and I sometimes fancy better work is done while am not present to interfere too much
 The above. taken from the English Journal for February, is statement by MT Barnes, teacher of English at F'airmont. West Virginia. While he was attending the English council at Chi cago, he received the following letter from one of his students. It is hoped that from it the young people may take a hint.

 No doubt you are glad to be away from school for a short time. I would he very glad if I could do the same. Nothing would please me better than to be in Chicago. But of course teach CTS always tread the rosy paths of life while the poor students tread the thorny
 Yesterday our English class met and an outsider coming in the classroom would not have noticed but what our regular teachers was there, So far as SouE CiStSS IS cOnceFned you VIII not have to worry and may extend your visit over a long period If you wish. know if you had to depend upon the Monongahela Valley Traction com pany to bring you back from Chicago you would be very slow in returning.
 Mir. Barnes as you are in a large city and will have a chance to study the styles for ladies. think it would be we'll for you to give an oral report to your class next week. telling about the latest styles for women in Chicago and comparing the styles that are seen there with the ones shown here.
 This is a subject of vital interest to every member of the class except one* and he may have an indirect interest. You alweys said you wanted practical subjects dealt with in our class and subjects that we are interested in. That is why I selected this subject for you to report on.
 I hope you will enjoy being at the conference, where so many eminent men from all over the states will be assembled.

 Aunt Skobe stayed for three weeks and when she left they all assured her that they were very glad she had come and that they did enjoy her visit so much.
 T think I shall try it once more. , said Mrs Simpson. when they were seated before the fireplace one eve ming, T don't think there is any pos- sible chance for our not going tomor- row
 "Of course, Mandy, you still think we ought to go, but I think that twp trials are enough" said Ezra. And besides I think-I-I-"
 That will do Ezra, don't say any more or you will be seeing showers coming up.''
 Everything was ready at o'clocA the next day and they were on their way When they reached the bridge that crossed the LongSdale river they were indeed surprised to find the bridge closed and sign saying that enc of the spans had washed out.
 Some people say that the third time is the charm, but I fail to see it that way said Mrs. Simpson when they reached home.
 Well, never again for me- sad Ezra as he came from the barn where he had unharnessed the horse and turned him in the pasture.
 You shouldn't say that, Ezra Simp- son. and you know it.' Said his wife, s'He is your uncle, and just think. l. years"
 T don't suppose he is any the worse off, snapped back Ezra.
 Neither said or thought any more about the much planned trip, until Mir. Simpson spoke of going to Longsda ie on business and asked his wife if she would like to go along.
 Yes" indeed she replied sI have been housed up for so long I believe the ride will do me good, and it can't do any harm
 After settling up the business that he had come over to attend to Mrs. Simp- sor suggested that they dine out at Uncle Ezra's.
 Very we'll" said Ezra, we had bet ter gon now while we are here" so they did.
 Just before they entered the house they were stopped by Rev. Hexter.
 My dear brother, I presume you are soing to visit your Uncle Ezra
 Yes" replied MT. Simpson, we were over here on business so thought we would just drop in on the old man."
 Too bad. too bad" continued the minister, you are just too late for the funeral. But I believe the lawyer is reading the will
 What" was the response from NIT. and Mrs. Simpson as they stood and looked at each other.
 If you had minded me, Ezra Simp- son, we might he better off this very minute"
 They left the minister standing on the walk, as they hurriedly rushed into the house.
 They were just in time to hear the lawyer say the last word in the will, Ezra Simpson,
 The lawyer held the bit of paper out to Ezra, but something had stirred within so that he could not move. Mrs. Simpson however walked proudly over, with a look of T knew it all the tme,' on her face, and took the will and received the congratulations of the lawyer.

 ALMOST A TRIP TO UNCLE EZRA Ezra Simpson did not like to argue with his wife, but when she suggested that they visit their rich uncle Ezra, he sorely objected. Looks nightly to me like showers, over yonder,' he said. Now Ezra Simpson, said his wife.
 there hasn't been a single time that I've asked you to go visiting with me, since I've lived with you, that it doesn't always look like showers.
 Well, a-hem," said Ezra, Fanny seems to be :, little lame this morning
 but I shouldn't wonder. she has been

 But the worst was yet to come, the task of getting ready. The twins were not old enough to dress themselves, MT. Simpson had to have everything of his laid on a chair where he could find it; Mary, their eight-year- old daughter. had to have her mother comb her hair, and Lesley could never fix" his tie.
 Mrs. Simpson knew they could not rcssibly get everything ready by to- morrow, so they planned to go the next day.
 the measles Yes, the twins had them. The doctor said it was very light case but he would have to quarantine them just the same.
 Oh, to be quarantined was perfect ly terrible. especially in the eess of Mary and Lesley. They begged their mother to let them stay with their Aunt Lizzie. but she refused. saying she would need their help more than ever now that the babies were sick.
 'fBut just think, mother" said Les ley, sthey will not even let us go to Sunday school if we stay here''
 Why son. said his father, just strongly? If I can remember rightly. it was only last Sunday that we had quite a time getting you and Mary started
 Well. Dad. I don't believe I was feeling well then.
 Time passed and soon the quarantine sign was taken down, and of course Lesley was relieved to know that he could once more attend Sunday school.

 A LANDSCAPE
 After the sun had set the heavens and the surrounding country were of the most beautiful colors I have ever seen. At the horizon were deep red and orange stripes which faded into a most delicate pink. In other spots blue and violet were visible, and now and then tiny white cloud would feat among the others, showing con- trast of the tints. But the most beau the mountains. At the top of the mountains there seemed to be a tinge of a deep violet, which grew into a most elegant purple. As day light fsded the mountains became almost black.

AROUND THE COURT HOUSE

Two marriages were performed by
Judge J.. h. Good on Monday after
noon for Checho-Slav couples whose
names are Joseph B. Ballentyne to
Miss Lucille Rainey, and Paul Nova
sad to Miss Susie Kralick.
Frank and Charles Rossi were
fined S. each for fighting.
Ernest Bugbee imbibed some kind
of extract and disturbed the peace
and was given ten days in Jail.
Frank F. Ferguson of Cerro
Grande is charged with assault with
deadly weapon and demanded a
preliminary hearing which was set
for August 20. He is cut on bail
bond.
Tom Martz, the man who "sassed"
the court and shipped his son to
Fort Collins to get him away from
the court, after serving a couple of
weeks for it was released. He said
he was sorry for what he had done.
Judge Good communicated with
Judge Jay r. Bouton and found that
the family had come from there and
did nat have good record there.
Five of the relatives are in reforma-
tories or children's homes in Ida
ho and California, and Homer, the
boy who was shipped back to Fort
Collins, faces a suspended sentence
there for attacking woman there
some two years ago. Mrs. Martz
"sassed" a local merchant because
he would not sell her sirloin on
credit, the Rotary club was consider
ing the matter Of giving them a
lift or recommending them to the
Red Cross, and when all these mat
ters came to light they all quit and
left the Martz family to get in the
right relation to others before doing
any more for them. Mrs Martz in
burst of anger told her grocer that
she would see him get his money!"
but she may change her mind and
pay the bill when Martz gets to work
again.
The county board meets Tuesday,
August 10, and after that they will
meet quarterly as of old.
