Has Strange TaIe
 Of Disappearance

Memphis, Tenn, Oct. 16.-Waiter Lee Hammond, arrested here as a fugutive from justice, was taken to Okolona, Miss, today to explain his disappearance from that state four your ago, which resulted in efforts to collect SIP, 100000 insurance car ried on his life, and to account for the finding of a charred body in ruins of his home at Egypt, Miss, which was destroyed by fire al the time of his disappearance.
 Officers say that Hammond told them that on the night he left his home in Mississippi he was attacked by two negroes, that in the scuffle an oil lamp was overturned, setting fire to the building and that one of the negroes wounded by a shot fired by his companion, was unable to escape from the burning dwell ing. With his home in flames Ham mond told the officers he decided to quit the state.
 When the body, charred beyond recognition, was found in the ruins of the house it was assumed that it was that of Hammond, and liti- gation since has been pending in the Mississippi courts to collect the insurance he carried. Hammond's wife was not at home on the night of the fire, and it was said she

GRAMMAR SCHOOL NEWS

Wednesday, October 6, Mir. Ham, mock talked to the fifth and sixth grades in convocation, on thrift. He told us a story about the people of New York who were paying $6,0O0 to have their garbage hauled away. They grumbled because they had to pay the workmen so much. It hap pened that . company was passing through New York. They offered the people $5,0O0,000 if they would give them the garbage. They sold the company their garbage. These people removed the garbage and by using a powerful press, squeezed the water out and then the oil. Then they allowed the oil to harden. Af- they broke the product into hundreds of pieces. From the oil they made perfume; from the rest they made many beautiful dyes. This shows that many of the things we consider worthless are often very useful.

FIRST LYcEuM COURSE

On October 9th, the Trinacria Company, the first number of the Lyceum Course was heard at the high school auditorium. For those who love good music the perform ance was a feast, because it gave selections from grand opera that are not heard every day. This number alone was worth the price of a sea- son ticket.

The school has ordered twelve sterescopes and with them six hun- dred colored pictures. These pie lures are illustrations of different plants, animals. etc., which the child ren study about in geography. These pictures will be shown in connec- tion with lessons.
 From time to time the company from which the sterescopes were ordered will send pictures for lec- lures sets. Except for the postage these pictures will be sent free.
 A stereoptician has also been or dered. It is a highly developed form of the magic lantern using photo graphic pictures and intense light. The lens are often made double so as to produce dissolving views.

PROGRESS IN PHYSICAL CUL
 TIRE

1t is very interesting to note the progress the students are making in physical culture under the supervi- sion of Miss King. For twenty minutes each day the pupils per form exercises out of doors and play games that refresh their minds and exercise their bodies. The pu- pills are learning as never before to combine work with play.

 last Wednesday in convocation. .n T TWacChesney spoke on the Cost l u;oh Living" He said that peo- u uio were living at the present time p.s.der neculiar conditions, or high u.assure un of life. Fifteen years ago sss majority of young people were salu sn considerate and eager to be sat ;...r,cted in their work. Now we find find them living in state of fever ;sb 1 excitement, hurrying through ,Se;r ,i work and always eager for snmething new. They are not re- suons;ye and as a result their re- norts do not come up to the stand ard This is not the fault of the teachers as some parents believe. Teachers cannot prevent pupils from hs;ng successful if they are deter mined to get an education. Per hans the greatest drawback on the othletic field is the unwillingness of ths M students to cooperate with their ;nstructcr and follow his advice. For this reason it is difficult to find physical culture instructors. The urogress they otherwise would make is nullified by a lack of response. If will be worth while for us to nause and think what this high pres sure of living is going to cost us. First, we will pay the price of an education. Education does not mean merely securing a diploma, or the accumulation of facts, but a we'll trained and developed mind. Do we want to grow up with lack of mental power? Education depends on the frame of mind. Second and more important, we will lose our health. At first we may not feel the results of such an incorporate and irregular life, but after while our constitution will become weak under such a nervous strain. As result of this deplorable condition our happiness will be lost, for no one can be happy without health. This life would soon lead one to be- come dissatisfied and useless mem- Der of society. We are following the plans that will render us the best results. It will be too late to change our habits when we grow older, now is the time to consider.

GRAIN MARKETS
Advance in Grains Continues
and New Highs Recorded
in Oats Pit.

CHICAGO, March 1S.--Bullsh senti-
ment continued to dominate the corn
market today, largely as result OF the
smallness of the supply here and the
readiness with which current receipts
were absorbed. Assertions of the fall
ure of the campaigns to reduce living
costs were also of considerable effect
in promoting upturns. Opening prices,
which varied from unchanged figures
to 1c higher, with May I.57h to $l,5S
and July $15ola to $1,5OB, were fol-
lowed by a moderate setback, and then
by material gains all around.
All deliveries of oats went to the
highest figures yet this season. Re
ceipts here we're next to nothing. AFTER
opening hc to sc up, including July
at soc to S0%c, the market scored ad-
ditionaI upturns.
Provisions were lifted by the strength
enng of hogs and grain.
Shorts in pork who attempted to COW
err found little for sale and they bid
values up more than 81 a barrel.
