t * T HE winter ?erm of school at
I Rocky Hill began hopefully.
|' The new master, "Profeaaor"
'J' Spring as h* was somewhat
v grandiloquently called by the little
community, seemed to have excellent
control over his scholars, who worked
at their studies cheerfully and earnestly.
The misgivings concerning the
I maintenance of discipline which Supervisor
Griffin had entertained on account
of ths professor's small size.

face, were apparently goundless.
The big boys, several of whom
could easily bare whipped the master,
were too good-natured to undertake the
task. But the complexion of affairs
was completely changed one crisp
* morning in December, when Jot ham
Horatio Negley came to schooL
Negley was the bully of the settlement
He was a big. raw-boned, disagreeable
fellow, whose meanness
took the form of coarse wit and cheap
practical Jokes. He rode up to the
schoolbouse on the morning In question.

and roared out at the top of his voice;
"Hold on, perfessor! I'll be with

kids Dothin' more till I git In thar!"
As be tramped noisily in at the door,
tbe dore of peace which had brooded
over the Rocky Hill school may be Imagined
aa flying hastily ont at the window.
Negley began making trouble at
once. He teased the girls, tormented
tbe boys, and was uniformly Impudent
to tbe master. Every form of annoyance
which his clumsy wits could devise
be practised upon tbe school, until
It became aa disorderly as a beargarden.
Tbe master found no sense of decency
or love of learning In Negley to
which be could Appeal, and be knew
well that an attempt to restore discipline
by physical force could only re
nut in Bit own nomination, ne complained
to tbe supervisor, but that of*
flcial waa evidently unwilling to face
the town bully.
"I caTlate yell have to get along 'a
beat ye can, perfesaor," be said. "I
can't forbid Jothain to attend school
If be wants to go, and be In' there.
yon'U have to do what dlsclpllnln'
there la done. It's my business to hire
teachers, not to whop scholars."
Matters therefore went from bad to
Worse. One afternoon, some three
weeks after Jotbam's first appearance,
as school was about to be dismissed,
the bully arose In his seat, and grinning
cheerfully about him, said in an
absurdly squepky Imitation of Mr.
Spring's shrill voice:
"Children, school won't keep to-mor school
aix't ucm' to-dat, ajttkb
all, 18^ shx?"
rer. The perfessor's goin' to give ns
all a holiday, so ye needn't?"
"School will keep precisely as usual
to-morrow," Interrupted the little
teacher, in his most dignified manner.
**It will begin promptly at nine."
"Tell ye 'twon't!" roared Jotham.
"Ye needn't any of ye come at all.
'cause the perfesaor ain't a-goln' to be
here!"
School broke pp In a fever of excitement
War had been declared,
and there was bat one opinion at to tbe
remit Thing* looked gloomy for the
' professor.
When he first came to Rocky Hill.
Spring had tried boarding with an elderly
widow named Perritt. bat he had
found the good woman's Inquisltlveness
too annoying and her table too
meager and unattractive to extend the
mn'Mmrat hernnrt tho i?fnnri VM<k.
Supervisor Griffin owned a sugarcamp
on the edge of a maple grove not
very far from the scboolhouse. and be
allowed the teacher to occupy tbe
cabin. It was roughly built but tigbt.
and a base-burner stove made It perfectly
warm and comfortable, while
tbe food which Spring himself prepared
was more nourishing and palatable
than that which Mrs. Perrltt bad
provided.
He was not lonely, either, for he had
a passion for taming wild creatures,
and a small menagerie of birds and
beasts, caught In the woods and In the
process of domestication, occupied
very corner of tbe camp not pre-empted
by tbe neecssarles of housekeeping.
The pride of the collection was
Daniel, a full-grown porcupine, it
I ' seeing absurd to think of making a pet
y" of coch an animal, but although Danle]
| ?
rerinjr. and would bar? parted wltl
all tbe otber specimens before tbi
porcupine.
Dauiel lived in a lone, low packing
box. set in a warm corner near thi
stove. Tbe top of the cape was mnd<
of slats to admit of ventilation, autf
over it a piece of burlap seeking was
thrown, to bumor tbe porcupinVs lov<
of retirement and darkness.
On tbe morning of tbe day whict
Jot ham had declared a holiday Spring
rose early, with souie hope of getting
to school In advance of his tormentor
But be was still eating his froga"
br?::kfast when the bully rode up to th?
cabin, tied his horse, and enterec
without knocking at the door.
"Wal. perfessor." he said, lauphlnp
boisterously, "school ain't keepin' to
day. after all. is she?"
"Get out of this house!" roared th<
little teacher, angrily.
Jotham's laugh grew more impudent
"I cal'late to enjoy your agreeabh
society for some two er three hour*
yit." be said. "Set down!" as 8pring
rose from the table. "You look here
and behave yourself!" and he drew an
old pistol of formidable site from un
der his coat and flourished It threateningly.
Of course he did not oean to shoot
but people who Intend to shoot others
are not the only ones who manage to
do it. and the teacher realized the
fact.
They sat there for half an horr oi
more. Jot ham chuckling with delight.
Spring glaring with silent fury at the
bully. At half past eight Jotbam remarked
cheerfully:
"As we're a-goin* to hev quite a session.
ptrfessor. we may's well be comfortable.
My boots galls me some, so
off they come."
Off they came, and Jotbam. expanding
with comfort, removed Lis coat ar
well. He also helped himself to a pie
which one of the women of the settlement
had baked for 8pring. and con
sumed It to the very last crumb, the
teacher fuming helplessly.
"Now. perfessor," he went on. after
wiping his mouth upon his sleeve,
" "pos^n we enjoy ourselves. You'd
like to be over at school makin' them
little fellers speak their pieces. You
set where ye be and 111 speak ye a
piece, and mind ye teach me good
or I'll likely cone down and wallop
ye!"
He mounted the nearest box. which
happened to be Daniel's cage, and
dancing a jig upon It in his stocking
feet, be began to about, gesticulating
wildly with bis pistol .tbe while:
"The boy stood on the burning deck,
Whence all but?"
Here tbe declamation ceased abruptly,
for Jot ha in suddenly leaped high
in the air and came tumbling down at
full length on the floor. His pistol flew
across tbe room and be writhed about
bis feet in bis hands, and bowled with
pain and fright.
Daniel, whose temper was none of
the sweetest, was greatly disturbed
by the racket abort bis head, and bad
bumped bis back angrily. A number

A n:an may have in his life a thousand

dangerous a? the one enemy; whisky.
That enemy work* with an intelligence
' - c I! ?.I hi- nn other.
I mill (I IUIVV V^uunt. va ,.w
It attacks tir?t of all the brain. It
conautra the intellect, and at one stroke
render* the entire human being useless,
destroying simultaneously his moral qualities,
his mental faculties and his material
usefulness.
When a man is shot in the leg he haa
still three of hi* limbs to work with and
his brain to guide their work.
When the worst of diseases, even consumption,
attack* a man the brain at
least is spared; it works honestly and
keeps the man respected while his life
lasts.
Wh>*ky i* a poison, and while ita work
is sometimes slow, it acts at do the other
poi*ons. It destroy* the seat of moral
activity as prussic acid destroys the phyai*
cal organism.
A hideou* thing about the worst enemy
of civilization is this:
1? nofila a man for all the cood WOrk
of "life"
It add* to a man's capacity for eril.
A hundred time* in any year you may
read in the daily newnpapers thin:
"The murderer had often threatened
that he would kill his victim. Little attention
wax paid to hi* threat*. But
that day it was noticed that he
drinking very hard, and that night the
murder w committed."
Whi?ky. the poi*on that destroy* affection
and moralitv. the enemy that wrecks
ability and defeat* ambition, provide*
the incentive, the strength and determination
for crimes.
Possibly many young men will ray:
"There are thousand* of men who drink
whiskv moderately, and I can be one of
them."
Perhaps you v.an. But you know that
in China there are million* of men that
smoke opium moderately. Would you, on
that account, decide to be a moderate
opium smoker?
Not at all. You would say to yourself:
"Others may guess about the effects of
opium. I know that I shall never be an
opium fiend, for the very simnle reason
that I shall let opium alone." _
Why not take the same attitude toward
whisky? It does in one year as mqch
harm as opium could do in a hundred.
Why not nay to yourself: "I know that
whisky will "never interfere with me, because
I shall never interfere with whisky.
I shall lei it alone."
If you have never had anything to do
with it, why begin? It can give you
nothing- It may pos-tibly take from you
everything.
If you have begun and find it hard to
stop, is not that the very reason why
yon should stop?
If you can stop easily, atop, if only as
an example to others.
If you find it hard to stop, stop cow,
before you find it still harder, or even impossible.
Let whisky alone, if only because of the
disreDutable work that it does; if only
to show your pity for its innocent victims.?New

Theschli That Coins With Drink.
We wish to answer seriously a seemingly
flippant inauiry, omitting, of course, tbs
signature of the writer:
"To the Editor of the Evening Journal:
Will you tell me how 1 manage to
think my most beautiful thinks in drink?
"D. B."
We answer your question with great
pleasure.
Some men really do their be*t work
under the influence of drink, for Uiim
reason: Drinking has weakened their
nerves end put their constitutions and
vitality permanently below par.
They do their best work when they
drink, just a* poor, thin, abused, tired
cart horse does his best work when he is
'ashed with a whip. This doe* not speak
well for the whip, does it? It does not
prove that the l&shing of the horse is a
noble process, or the whip an admirable
instrument. It simply proves that if you
abude an unfortunate creature and render
him untit for work, you must abuse hiin
still more to get a little work out of
him.
You think your most beautiful thoughts
in drink for various reasons.
In the first plsce, when you drink you
are quite easily pleased, and you are
pleased most easily with yourself.
If you were sober, your thoughts would
not seem so beautiful to you. Often what
you think, in drink, you would be very
sorry to hear repeated in your dull, sober
oo urn.
In the second place, feeling ia essential
to any strong thinking. It is esaen*
tial to the expression any strong emotion.
The man who drink* hard, or even
comes to rely to anv extent upon drink,
haa dead nerves and a dead imagination
when his drink time is over.
Drink sets the heart to beating, it sets
the blood to pumping through the brain,
it stimulates the mysterious combustion
of matter which results in thought, and
emotion becomes stronger in proportion
to the strength that accompanies this
combustion.
The coward wants to fight when he is
drunk. He has some feeling. The dull
mind geU imaginative. It has some feel*
lor
This does not glorify the coward or
make the dull mind better. It usually
makes both ridiculous and pathetic, in
addition to being cowardly and dull.
Stop drinking for six months, aleep two
hours more per day than you sleep at
present, take in more fresh air, think
steadily and soberly instead of talking
boisterously, as you probably do now.
We venture to predict that you will soon
find springing up in your head some very
acceptable "thinks" with which drinK
wiil have nothing to do.?New York
Journal.
A Common Display of I fnoninre.
A recent writer says: "It is particularly
interesting to note whether urunkennesa
or other moral failings developed in
parents before or after birth of their
children."' Another writer, after quoting
statistics freely, urges the following as a
remedy for inebriety "By the punishment
of drunkenness, improving the tenement
houses, satisfying the thirst which perpetuates
the saloon, etc.. education of our
patients and public towardn self-control
and temperanre." The above is good illustration

Hew to Cure For Parrots.
The well known gray parrot 1b a most ;
satisfactory and popular pet. The male ,
and the female look exactly alike, and
both will talk. The female talks less,
learning fewer words and phrases, hot
she pronounces with great distinctness.
They are capital mimics and
catch different tones of voice with
nicety. In the very young gray parrot
the iris is black; in the older birds
It is yellow. The iris of the young
bird's eyes changes gradually; the eyes
are dark for about seven months. As
the gray parrot is long-lived and slowly
reaches maturity, the young ones
must be fed and watched with special
care. The only way to care for a very
young parrot is to boil the corn which j
is fed it and make it Into a pulp, put-1
ting it into the oira s wan, or leiuug
It feed from tbe owner's lingers, as it
would from the beaks of the parent
birds. Tbe feeding of young parrot*
must be done frequently, or tbey will
die of starvation. Tbe gray parrot is
fed practically like tbe others, on
hemp, sunflower 6ecd, Indian corn,
fresh fruit and some nuts. Almonds
are not good for parrots; tbe bitter almonds
make tbem ill. Parsley is a

How to Form tbe Reading Habit.
In order to organize odd minutes
into fruitful bours one must bave a
consistent scheme and keep tbe means
of carrying it out within reach. Too
many people read the books which
come in their way instead of putting
themselves in tbe way of gettiug the
right books. Tbey buy and borrow
without thought or plan because they
iin tint understand that readintr oucbt
to be a resource as well as a recreation.
Decide la advance what books
you will read, and do not take up
with those which drift in your direction.
Do not burden yourself with a
scheme so extensive that it discourages
you; do not, at the start, plan
courses of reading so vast that you
are weighed down with their magnitude.
Begin in a quiet and easy way
by planning to read consecutively a
few books in some field which interests
you.?Hamilton W. Mable, in the

It u no longer a question as to whether
Peruna can be relied on to cure all such
cases. During the many years in which
Peruna has been put to test in all forms
and stages of acute and chronic catarrh
no one year has put this rethedy to greater
test than the past year.
Peruna is the acknowledged catarrh remedy
of the age. Df. Hartman, the compounder
of Peruna, has written a book on
the phases of catarrh peculiar to women,
entitled, "Health and Beauty." It will be
sent free to any address by The Peruna
Medicine Co., Columbus, O.
If you do not derive prompt and satisfactory
results from the use of Peruna,
write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a
full statement of your case snd he will be
pleaded to give you his valuable advic?
gratis.
