Gordy, the talented and progressive principal of our school is certainly pushing his school to the front. He is one of those rare characters of the race who will not consent to be satisfied with conditions which do not measure up to the modern ideas of advanced instructors. With him the very best is none too good for the school over which he exercises supervision. Hence he has secured for his building electric lights, new heating stoves with a changing around of furniture which has greatly improved the appearance of the classes room and will make it possible to more properly heat the building in cold weather. The Assistant Supt. under the late democratic administration told the writer that Prof. Gordy's class rooms were better ventilated than any other building. Said he: Whenever I enter his class rooms I can detect at once that sweet, pure atmosphere so essential to the health of both teachers and pupils. And so we found it. Everything clean and tidy, pupil looking bright and cheerful, with no sign of drowsiness which is always apparent when the ventilation is defective. The Professor certainly understands the science of ventilation. Outside one can easily see cleanliness and good drainage. No filth of any kind is allowed to accumulate, and it is no unusual sight to see him at work early in the morning with shovel and rake, cleaning ditches, raking up leaves and anything else that is likely to accumulate in the vicinity of the school premises. As an instructor, he is a topnotcher—everything is made plain and comprehensive. Nothing is left to be guessed at—the pupil gets the full benefit of the best that is in him. Over and above his many exacting duties he finds time to see the people in their homes to meet them socially. In the local assemblies of the white teachers he holds a membership, not as a listener only, but as an active worker. When the time comes for him to handle a subject, as the saying goes, "he is there with the goods. He is a plodder and a digger after knowledge, and so like the Indian's gun, he is always ready to shoot and be rarely ever misses the bull's eye. Since he has been here he has pushed his work forward so rapidly that three of his pupils are now at State Normal No. 3, and another is in his third year at Storer College, Harper's Ferry. This has never before happened in the history of this school. In this good work he is ably seconded by his assistant, Mrs. Nellie C Bell, a native of this city, who has charge of the primary department Mrs. Bell is an earnest, hard working instructor. Being endowed with a considerable amount of native talent, together with an indomitable will, she is fast overcoming difficulties incident to earlier training and is forging ahead with every promise of success. She attended the summer sessions at Cheyney, Pa., and came back imbued with a greater determination to make her efforts tell for the good of the school. "By their fruits ye shall know them" and her work is telling. The Professor has opened a night school, which will be followed by a literary society. Miss Cora Gales, daughter of our popular tonsorial artist, is filling a clerical position in Baltimore. Her father went down last Sunday and came back highly pleased with the start his daughte has made. So you see Mr. Editor that old Frostburg is not near so bad as she has been painted. Some of our ministerial failures have gone down and reported that this place is hopelessly doomed but the facts above set forth fully contradict this. EDUCATION FOR LIFE That Hampton and Tuskegee, schools for Negroes, are valuable not merely as excellent schools for the colored race, but for their important contribution to the present vocation education movement, is the declaration of the United States Bureau of Education. In a pamphlet just distributed by the Bureau, entitled "Education for Life," tribute is paid to the work of Hampton Institute and particularly General Armstrong, its founder, who is looked upon by educators as a pioneer in the field of practical education. "General Armstrong possessed to a remarkable degree the gift of educational prophecy," asserts Prof. Peabody in the introduction to the pamphlet. 'He foresees and foretold with extraordinary precision the tendencies and transitions which within the last 25 years have practically revolutionized the principles of education. The training of the hand and eye as well as of the mind, the moral effect of technical skill, the conception of labor as a moral force, the test of education in efficiency, and the vanity of education without discipline in thrift, self help, love of work, and willingness to sacrifice—all these familiar maxims of modern vocational training were set forth by him with all the assurance of a social prophet.' The pamphlet includes a brief sketch of General Armstrong's life and a collection of pithy utterances on aims and methods of education, many of which are distinctly helpful to those interested in present problems, according to officials of the Bureau of Education. It is felt that General Armstrong's theory and demonstration of practical education have proved to be right, not merely for the races for which they were immediately intended, but for boys and girls everywhere, since they represent a successful attempt to work out one of the most momentous tasks of our time—that of creating an education that shall be an effective force for training productive, efficient members of society. WOMAN A HOUSE WRECKER Works Beside Husband—Says Strength Is the Test of Equality. Merrimac, Mass.—Mrs. Willard W. Chase, mother of five children, is now a full fledged housewrecker, having been taken into partnership by her husband. She goes out to work with her husband every day and performs the labor of tearing down houses with the vigor of an average man. "It's a grand thing for these women to be interested in educational things and take up civic problems," said Mrs. Chase. "But if women really want to get anywhere it's high time they began to show that they are capable of doing the same sort of physical work that the men do." "Ritual Murder" In Russia. The civilized world has been watching with interest the progress of the trial, at Kiev, Russia, of the young Hebrew, Mendel Beilise, so caused of the murder, "for ritual purposes," of a Christian boy, one Andrew Yushtchinsky. The body of the boy was found in a cave in the suburbs of Kiev, more than two years ago, and the numerous stub wounds on it evidently suggested to the reactionaries the possibility of charging the Jews with the crime. According to superstitious belief, the Jews use Christian blood in the making of their Easter bread. Beilise, a workman at a nearby brick yard, who is admitted even by his enemies to be honest, was apprehended. As it is not uncommon in Russia, some necessary evidence was manufactured with the aid of the police and members of the "Black Hundred" society, which is always eager to incite an attack on the Jews. But it seems that the combined efforts of his enemies have not been sufficient to incriminate an honest man. After nearly two years of activity in collecting alleged evidence, during which time the accused man was kept in solitary confinement, and denied even the privilege of consulting his lawyers, the "proof" offred at the trial was of such a fluy nature that even the rejectionary anti Semitic local journal, the Kievianian, protested editorially against the farcical proceedings. For this it was duly suppressed by the authorities. That the Russian Government favors the "ritual" murder theory can be seen from the fact that the former chief of the secret police at Kiev, who has been conducting an independent investigation and came very near discovering the real perpetrators of the crime and laying bare the motives of the conspirators, has been suspended from office, tried on some trumped up charges, and imprisoned. But, perceiving how this attempt to revive a long-forgotten superstition and incite the ignorant mob to violence against the Jews has impressed the entire thinking world, the saner elements among the Russian reactionaries have been trying to minimize the significance of the case and have urged the necessity of its speedy disposal with a resemblance of legality.—From the "Progress of the World," in the American Review of Reviews for November. BULLETIN-OFFICE OF FOR EST, GAME AND FISH WAR DEN, BELINGTON, W. VA. THE "BOB WHITE." Mrs. Margaret Nice, of Clark University, gives the following as eaten by captive birds. Each number given represents the insects eaten during a single meal by one bird: Chinch bugs, 100; squash bugs, 12; plant lice, 2,326; grasshoppers, 39; army worms, 12; mosquitoes, 568; potato beetles, 101; white grubs, 8 The same lady gives a list of 129 weeds, the seeds of which are eaten by this little gleaner. These seeds are digested and the germs thus de- suyed. The number of seeds taken at a single meal by one bird varies from 105 seeds of stinkweed and 400 of pigweed to 5,000 of pigeon grass and 10,000 of lamb's quartere; while the number taken in one day by one of these birds varies from 600 of burdock to 30,000 of rabbit's foot clover. If we take as our measure, the quantity of weed seeds and insects eaten by a captive Quail, as given above, we find that a family consisting of two adult birds and ten young would consume 780,915 insects and 59 707,888 weed seeds in a year, in addition to their other food. The "game hog" and the severe winters of this climate will soon do their work, and this beautiful bird of the home, the farm, the garden and field, the friend and companion of mankind, the much needed helper on the farm, the destroyer of insect pests and weeds, will become extinct, and his cheery, interrogative call will be no longer heard, unless the sportsmen and farmers devise some means for his protection. WILL YOU HELP PROTECT THEM? Farmers who have coves of these birds on their farms during the winter, when the snows are deep and the Quail's food source, could make no better investment than to scatter liberal amounts of grain in the vicinity where these birds stay, and thus keep them alive until the snows are gone and they could again find food for themselves. Oklahoma and several other States have plead a closed season on these birde, but West Virginia law allows them to be killed from the first day of November until the first day of December, with a bag limit of 12 birds per day, or 96 in a season, which should be a sufficient number for any true sportman. See that this law is observed and a sufficient number left to furnish nice broods for next season. Let "protect the quail" be the slogan of the farmer, the hunter and every other good citizen of our state. Talk protection, give protection whenever you can, and see that your friends do the same. WIFE HIDES HIS WOODEN LEG Does It to Enable Service on Him of Divorce Papers. Joliet, Ill.—Rosa Novak, twenty years old, who married Anton Kurdiana of Detroit here about a month ago, took off her husband's wooden leg and kept it hidden until he was served with papers notifying him of her suit for divorce. Mrs. Kurdiana had been told by a friend that no papers could be served on Kurdiana if he left the state and the suit would fail. When he awoke he found his artificial limb gone and shouted from a hotel window for help. His bride would not tell the police where she had hidden the support until a deputy sheriff arrived with the notice of her suit. LOSES 3 3ONS IN ACCIDENTS. Flying Ax Kille Baby, and Mula Kicks Others to Death. Birmingham, Ala.—George Hogg, a farmer, of Searle, Tuscaloosa county, lost three children in a single day. While he was cutting wood his ax flew from the handle and struck his infant son in the head, killing him. He carried the body to his home and there learned that two of his young sons had been kicked to death by a mule. VOL. 32 NO. 35 Anecdotal Literature Anecdotal Literature Bx W. G. MODIFIED THANKS. A German with his young son, was standing on the wharf watching the movements of the boats, when suddenly the son lost his balance and fell into the water. A finely dressed athletic young man suddenly jumped in, and with great difficulty landed him at the feet of his parents, and this is what the father said: "Many danks, but vot hef you done mit his hat?" 0 * WELL AMENDED Gov. Sulzer apropos of a bad move in a political conflict in Albany, said: "Whether this move wins or not, I for one can't countenance it." The governor brushed back his long thick forelock and added: "The end justifies only the means." EXPLANATION NEEDED. Morris—"Have you heard about poor young Hicks' trouble with his wife?" Thompson—"No! I've been out of town for the last month, what is it? Morris—He sent his office boy up to the house for his raiment one day last week and found a memorandum in the packet reading, "Ribbon for typewriter," and Hicks is having a devil of a time trying to explain." * * THAT GUM. A witness at the trial of the dynamiters in Indianapolis annoyed the lawyer who was questioning him, by chewing gum. 'Please remove that gum,' said the lawyer. The witness grinned, and kept on chewing. 'Your Honor,' said the lawyer to Judge Anderson, I suggest that you instruct the witness to remove that wad of gum from his mouth. It makes his replies indistinct. Judge Anderson turned to the witnesses and said sharply: "Remove that gunt" The witness started, gulped—and then said to the judge meekly: "I's all right, your Honor. I've swallowed it." * * A FAIR COMPROMISE. Crosby Gaige, a partner in one of the new theatrical producing firms of New York City, recently had occasion to hire an actor to play a small part in a Western drama he was putting out. A rather well known actor who prided in the art, applied for the place. 'You play a full blood Sioux Indian? explained Gaige. The salary is fifty dollars a week!' 'My dear boy,' said the actor, in a paired tone, 'I've never worked for less than a hundred dollars, which is my regular price.' "Fifty dollars!" said Gaige calmly. "Take it or leave!" The actor considered over a minute. "I'll take it," he said; but I can't play a full blood Indian for fifty dollars. I'll play him as a half breed."

PIGEON FLIES 1,000 MILES. Record Time of 26 Hours and 30 Minutes Established. Pittsburgh, Pa.—One thousand miles, air line distance, between Abilene, Tex., and Fort Wayne, Ind., in 20 hours, 30 minutes and 6 seconds actual flying time was the remarkable flight of a homing pigeon belonging to O. Anderson of Fort Wayne. The records, sent to President Carney of the American Racing Pigeon union in this city for verification, were officially announced. Forty-seven birds contested in the race from the Texas city, and the record made by Mr. Anderson's bird is a world's mark. The second bird to arrive in Fort Wayne from Abilene belonged to J. Schilling. It had been on the road 36 hours, 51 minutes and 47 seconds actual flying time. The speed of Mr. Anderson's bird averaged more than thirty-eight miles an hour. FINE TO GIVE OR TAKE TIPS. Wakere Urged St. Louis Council to Pass the Ordinance. St. Louis.—The city council has passed a bill making it a misdemeanor to give or receive a tip in a hotel or restaurant. A fine of from $10 to $50 may be levied for each offense. Half of the fine is to be given to the police informant of violation of the anti-tipping ordinance. The measure was passed without opposition following a public hearing in which scores of waiters attributed the local hotel employees' strike to low wages resulting from the tipping practice. STREET STREWN WITH BILLS. Thought to Be Robbber's Plunder by Government Offolate. Leavenworth, Kan.—Three postoffices inspectors have begun an investigation of the finding of hundreds of dollars in gold certificates believed to be a portion of $50,000 stolen by Charles Savage from a mail truck in the Union station in Kansas City five years ago. Developments show that persons have been finding the certificates, mostly of the $20 denomination, for a month and have kept the matter secret. It is estimated that at least $1,000 has been picked up in gutters, vacant lots and back yards. All the money was discovered within a radius of eight blocks of the home of a relative of Charles Savage at whose house he stopped before his arrest. One theory of the investigators is that the money was concealed in a tree and dislodged by recent high winds. How Are Your Kidneys? Dr. Hobbs Sparagus Pills cure all kidney Ills. Sam ale free Add.

Chase, mother of five children, is now a full fledged housewrecker, having been taken into partnership by her husband. She goes out to work with her husband every day and performs the labor of tearing down houses with the vigor of an average man. "It's a grand thing for those women to be interested in educational things and take up civic problems," said Mrs. Chase. "But if women really want to get anywhere it's high time they began to show that they are capable of doing the same sort of physical work that the men do." MARRIED BY PHONE Ohio Magistrate Accommodates Eager Young Couple. Dayton, Q.—"Do you, Louis Motzel"—"Number, please"—"Take Florence Igou"—"They don't answer"—"Oh, central, please get off the line. We're trying to get married." Louis Motzel and Florence Igou had their troubles getting married over the telephone here, but Dan Cupid finally got the phone plugs in their proper places on the switchboard, and Squire Koehne was able to finish the ceremony. Motzel and Miss Igou had found two magistrates absent from their offices, and when they reached the office of Koehne, only to find him gone, they located him at a construction camp three miles from the city, and he readily consented to tie the knot by phone. PACIFIC DRYDOCK. Work to Bo Resumed Shortly le Opinion In Washington. Washington.—Work upon the giant drydock at Pearl Harbor, the site of the great naval base the United States is establishing in the Pacific, probably will be resumed in the near future. Secretary of the Navy Daniels announced that Alfred Noble of New York, the engineering specialist retained to render an opinion as to the advisability of going ahead with the construction of the dock, has reported that the project is quite feasible. The Pearl Harbor drydock is to cost several million dollars, according to estimates. Work on the dock was well advanced when the coral foundation of the dock yielded to water pressure from below and caused an upheaval of the floor and walls, practically ruining all that had been done. GOES CRAZY AT OPERATION. Surgeon Suddenly Loses Mind and Patient Is Killed. Cincinnati, O.-A distressing story was told in probate court by the wife of Dr. William R. Dabney, a Marietta physician, before he was committed to Longview hospital upon the application of his wife. Mrs. Dabney told the court physician that the first signs of mental trouble were exhibited by her husband while he was performing a surgical operation in a Marietta hospital. He slashed right and left with his operating knife, and employees of the hospital had to take him in charge. The patient, she said, was the unfortunate victim of his sudden madness and was killed. The wife said that she took her husband to Canada, hoping that reest would restore his reason. But he did not get much better and was brought to Cincinnati a short time ago.

Joblot, Ill.—Rosa Novak, twenty years old, who married Anton Kurdiana of Detroit here about a month ago, took off her husband's wooden leg and kept it hidden until he was served with papers notifying him of her suit for divorce. Mrs. Kurdiana had been told by a friend that no papers could be served on Kurdiana if he left the state and the suit would fail. When he awoke he found his artificial limb gone and shouted from a hotel window for help. His bride would not tell the police where she had hidden the support until a deputy sheriff arrived with the notice of her suit. LOSES 3 SONS IN ACCIDENTS.

Recently physicians) made tn X ray examination. While! this revealed that there was no frac! ture of the skull, it was thought there’ Might be u blood clot on the bath, 0, an operation was performed. | The operation was considered suc-| eesstul, but the surgeons found suck @ degenerate condition of the brain cells that they give only slight hope that “J. C. BR.” will ever regain his normal faculties. However, there 1s Just a chance, | “We expect no sudden change or sensational return of memory,” said a @octor. What the outcome will be ts problematical. A part of the memory @ells of the brain has been destroyed by degencration, but there ts a pos. aibility that there aro sufficlent cella Femaining to restore the memory in; part, at least. If possible the hospital’ authorities will tench the man te talk. With the largo cyst removed there is assurance that the degenera-| tion. of the brain area will not increas and the remainder of the brain Is um impaired. He can therefore be taught to speak us a child fs taught, it is be- Meved. With the power of articula. tion, it Is thought that he may be ablo to tell some of the facts of his life, which now he can communicate oniy by motions, and those very vaguely. “J. C. R.” ts not insane and baa Bever been insane. He was picked ua on the depot platform at Waseca Minn., one night in June, 1907. How he got there no one knows. His right side from his temple to his foot was Peralyzed. He could not say a word. He could not make persons under- stand Lim by gestures,-nor could he: understand anything that was said to Aim. He was a public charge, and as auch ‘Was cared for by the county. Arrange- ments were made for him to live with @ German fumily. Ho was attended by Dr. W. A. Chamberlain, but his ease baffled the physician. Dr. Cham- berlain gave up hope of his recovery, end on April 24, 1908, he was taken to the Rochester asylum. At the hospital be has always bad his iberty. He is what is known as an observation pa- tlent who can be trusted. To see “J.C. R.” once is to remom.| ber him. Although, he cannot talk, he asks questions, as it were, with hiy large, intelligent brown eyes, which haunt one with their pitiful entreaty. He 1s about medium height. His black hair, which {s brushed well off bis! forehead, is tinged with gray. Ho Is! a@pparent!y bout forty-five years of age. Without his cane he has difficul- ty In walking. | Still “IC. R.” is now able to make himself partially understood. By com tinual pointings to a map he gave the hospital surgeons the impression that he was. the son of. an admiral and had been an officer himself. Le also indicated n spot near Baltimore as bis home. Repeated inquiries to the naval department aud Baltimore, authorities brought many replies of lost persone | but none which would fit the case of “J. 0. R.” \ The United States navy bas no rec-{ ord of a missing man who tallies wath his description, yet “J. C. R.” has been able to mike the surgeons believe posi- tively that he has served in the United States navy. The only thing he can write are the | initials “J. C. R.” Yet he does not seem to think at times that those are his initials, although they were found on his clothing. When asked about tt he rubbed the Injured side of his head and looked puzzled. This strange man bas been a favor- ite at the hospital. He bas fully re- uized his condition, but not for one moment dows he permit himself to be- ome morbid. He has a winning simile, which illuminates bis whole counte. ance, but his face in repose is pa- hetic.
