THE TEACHER.

The following is by Walt Mason,
the Kansas rhymester:
The teachers is the noblest stunt
a mortal can pursue; and yet today
we see her hunt for something else
to do. She loves her high uplifting
trade, and quits it with sigh, but
she can't live on what she's paid,
and can't afford to die. For years
she studies night and day, to quail
fly to teach; and we behold her on
her way. and say she is a peach.
We hand her noscgays when they're
cheap. and call her ButtCrcup, and
say the blessed schoolmarms keep
our bulwarks light side up. With
out her this enlightened age would
sadly be bereft; she guards the
priceless heritage our we'll known
fathers left We hand her taffy
with spade. but when she makes
complaint. about the measly wage
she's paid. We sweat some blood and
faint. We confess to spendthriit
ways. hold miser greed a crime;
but when the schoolmarm asks a
raise we're tightwads every time.

THE WILD OATS Sewers.

From MorgantoWn New Dominion
The columns OF the newspapers
have overlooked lately with divorce
scandals and unsavory triangles or
quadrangles. Details have been
made public to a surprising extent.
Many critics condemn the papers
for publishing such matter, and
consider the public consumption of
it as Eiain indication that the
country Is going to the dogs nor
ally. They are mostly wrong on
both counts.
The newspapers publish what
people will read. They consider
their market, like any merchants.
AS to the people who, no'th and

ers to publish it-they do so aot
because they are bad but because
they are good They are Just
enough to be attracted by the thing
most foreign to their own lives.
They are decent home-preserVins
folk who are just sowing their
harmless wild oats in perusal of the
scandals in high life. They keep
most of the ten commandments
seven days in the week, fifty-two
weeks in the year. If they read
about people who act differently it
is not an alarming indication. They
get the romance Of wealth and OF
beauty in distress. As for the I'm

by it. not Influenced, and they al
