 She did not overlook the slightest fault, and for every trangression her advice was, use the whip"
 Even after the death of his father, when Prince Louis had become Louis XIII, the queen, who, history records, never once unbent to kiss him during her entire regency, kept up the old discipline; at the same time she care fully observed the etiquette of respect to a reigning sovereign. Just after be- ing punished the little king chanced to enter a room where she sat sur rounded with ladies of the court. All, including the queen mother, rose and curtsied at his entrance.

cessary to curtail education in any respect it is because of the fact that rulers and leaders can no longer have confidence in their persuasive abili- ties which make wrong appear to be right. Therefore new leaders are needed, not less education.
 Any attempt at segregating the "aristocracy of brains" will be more than futile, for it will result in noth- ing more or less than class segrega- tion and the undermining of the very foundations of the principles of de- ,mocracy.
 Locally somewhat similar conten- tion exists in regard to the over, crowding of the high school.

How would the president of Dartmouth segregate this "aristocracy of brains" from the common herd? His contention is somewhat similar to one that exists locally. .5#.

Our boy" An, who for fifteen years had been "No. l" in the Ger man legation, was in a state of great excitement. With considerable difficult ty we learned that the brigand had been showing An his pistol, and that An had discharged 1t accidentally.

I did my best for the wounded man, but the, bullet had smashed the femur and I knew he would never walk again. His leg should have come off, but had no facilities for amputating it there, and even if I could have performed the operation, his family would not have consented.
 The next morning An settled the matter with the wounded man for $20 ($10 in United States currency). The mans mother was in frenzied state until the money had been paid.

RUDE RURAL RHYMES
Do 1t Now

In doing work a choice of plan is free to any maid or man, to either labor when they ought to, or else to wait until they've got to. The latter k method is the one by which most hu- man tasks are done. If in the spring betimes I take, from off it's nail a snag tooth rake, with ease curry up the lawn, and burn the trash that lay thereon. If then 1 seize the waiting mower and drag it through the open door, that tool and I, like frolic friskers, slip OCT the lawn and trim it's whiskers. While here and there go scooting, the weeds and grass fly scalahooting; in joyful haste the task is sped; the lawn is slick as but tered bread. But if I let the raking go, and let the dandelions grow, the mower clogs on hill and hummock; ; it's handle jabs me in the stomach, and thus against my gizzard pressed, it knocks my temper galley west. O if I polish off the weeds, and leave some room for garden seeds, soon have lettuce, onions, beets, and other classy garden eats; but this advice no merry josh is, where you grow weeds you can't grow squashes. In- stead of dallying and chewing the needed tasks we should be doing. In skirt or shirt or waist or britches, a stitch in time saves lots of stitches. When death shall give us our quietus, we'll finished work in heaven will greet us, but jobs undone will rise to vex us and swat us in the solar plexus. <. .' ''*~
