pies of greater heroism than that Of
Mrs. s. ]. Rookie, the telephone oper-
ator of Folsom, N. M, who, when
warned by resident of the hills to
fee for her life from the flood speed
ing to engulf the valley, rejected the
opportunity to save herself and en-
ployed the hour that interviewed bet
ween the warning received and her
own death by drowning in calling up
subscribers by telephone and ac-
quainting them of their danger. More
than forty families have already ac-
knowledged their lives were saved
through the magnificent courage Of
one frail woman, whose lifeless body,
with the telephone headpiece still
adjusted to her ears. was found
twelve miles down the canyon.

Of murder in the piratical traffic, ac-
cording TO Capt. Andrew Predecessor
here, who says he was recently an In

The limit was actual murder, he
says, when the Siberian government
attempted to stop the traffic. Capt.
Predecessors story follows:
"We sailed out of Nome for what
I was told would be a trading voy-
age to Siberia. viii not tell the
names OF the owner or skipper of the
trader, for reasons sbest known to my
self.
Eat one port the boat took on large
quantity Of furs, after getting the ma
tiyes drunk on moonshine whiskey.
An official of the Siberian govern
ment came aboard to collect a tax and
force payment for the furs. He was
thrown overheard and shot.
"The last saw of him he was cling
ing to a piece of ice. I do not know
whether he died or was rescued On

But George could not tell; the eggs

but they were all equally cold. the
boiled eggs having been cooked
early in the day and taken to the

Your Home an Educational
Institution

No teacher no school, can thoroughly educate
children. Education begins when child first
opens its eyes and ends only when they closed
for the last time. We ask an impossbility when we
expect a school to take our boys and girls few
hours day for few years and return them to
high-minded, efficient-in short, educated men and
women.
The real task of the teacher is to put child in
the way of educating himself. Education is an in
dividual matter in which the teacher is only
factor. The home surroundings and the spirit in
which the child regards the school quite as i'm
portant as the part of the teacher. The more a
child brings to the school room the more he will
gain there. The home, if properly equipped, is the
greatest educational institution in the world
