Miss Rose Harding was trying tc beat the three R's into the heads of the ignorant in a small schoolhouse locateC in the midst of a slieep raising countr. In the far west. Miss Harding wai the daughter of those who had beei wealthy in the east. Her father haC died insolvent, but, fortunately foi Rose, he had given her a college educa tion. The laws of supply and deman( work the same in education as any where else. Where there Is the mosl ignorance there is the greatest neei for teachers. At any rate, Miss I-lard ing received an offer In Montana ani accepted it. She was surprised to fin( her scholars of mixed ages, ranginj from ten to twenty-six years old. Bu she had no diffculty in arranging lie classes, for the oldest scholar knew n more than the youngest. But it wnW hard work. Rose had taken prizes it college and was fitted to instrue young people of advanced scholastic at tainments in the sciences. One morning while she was tryIng t4 teach her scholars how to spell "yacht and such other words in the Englisl language as are spelled farthes from their sound a sheep herder rod up to the schoolhouse door and askim If any one had seen a flock of sheel the neighborhood. Miss Hardin tut the question to her scholars, an all answered in the negative. W1hl this was being done the sheep herde: was regaling his eyes with the sigh of the refined and comely Miss Hard ing. Such a sIght, especially at tha time, was not usually to be had in tha region, and the herder evidently dik not propose to let the opportunity slip "Say, miss," lie said, "do you thinl you could e.lve any larnin' into m: noddle?" The teacher looked ut him scrutiniz iugly. Hie did not t.cok at all stuid though lie mighit not eveni know hi letters. "That would depend u'pon what hiell you would give me in the matter." The young man threw himself froni his horse andh. hanging the reins to hook screwedl to the cabin for the pur pose, went ini and took position in the spelling class." "FIre awiay, schioolmiarnm," he said. "lSpeli tihe word salt." "TJry again." "S-a---. "Once imore'." "S-a-w-i-t." There was a smile on the teacher'i face. Although her new schmolar' wna evidently mo~re untouchable thain an: of her oilher scholars the lines of hi: face were entitely unilike theirs. Ther< was something incongruous in hib ig norance and his p)hysiognomly. "Teacher," saidl a gawk ol' twenty three, "I kin tell you how to larn hin how to spell it. Tell him If he gets I right next time lhe kin kiss the purtyes gal in the room." There was a shout of ap)proval o this proposition, but Miss H-ardiing deC murredl. However, since her scholar would have it so, assuming that "th puirtyest gal" meant those among th scholars she reluctantly consented. "Very well," she said, "try again." "S-a-l-t," snapped the herder and ad vanced to take his reward of the teach er. Blushing a resy red, she ordere< him lback, telling him that she was no included. There was an uproar amon, the scholars and much pouting amon, the girls, for thle herder, since lie couk not kiss tho teacher, would kiss noni of them. "You have struck a vital principle I: pedagogy," said Miss Harding to the hierdler. There was a twinkle in lie eye. Perhaps it calie from a sua p)iclon thait lhe kniew how to epell th word salt from thi5 beginning, "Somi clay you may be a teacher yourself an< can iintroduce your stimulnit axpon, the co-eds."

The Wrong Word Dessie came in from school and si down before her mother., There was soleiiin expression on her face. 11 mother looked down at her, with sile, waiting for her to speak.' "Is It right to tell things that yo have heard at school?" she aske somewhat timidly. . "Not unless it can do some one got and would n9t be telling another's a cret," said her mother quietly. "Oh, this will do good, and it is abot some one In our family, so it is our a cret." "About Bobble, isn't it?" asked h< mother, for mothers' hearts tell the more than their ears sometimes. "Yes. Th girls-the little girls dow In Bobble's room-'say that soimetin< he does not know anything!" declare Bessie, whose eyes were wide with hI niews. The last word had conic ot with soroig emphasis. "Why. I think lie must have learne sometiing," said her mother, smiling. "They say the teacher has a dreat ful tiue with him and makes him sit the things over after her, and som times he seems to know them, and th very next day he doesn't." "I will see when lie comes in what is all about," said mother. Presently Bobbie came in froi school. lie had stayed again after th others, and his eyes were red from Cr; Ing. "Come here, Bobble," said his mot) er. "I want to ask you about yot school. Can't you learn your lessons? "I alvays know my lessons, but tt teacher says I don't." "Give me your book," said his mot er. "llead this for me." Bobbie read the little paragraph. E made no mistake, and his mother as ed him to spell the words. This he d perfectly. She looked inquiringly at Bessie, wl sat proudly by. "It wasn't true," Be sle whispered. "Why does your teacher say that yt do not know your lesson?" asked It mother. "Just because I don't know what 'nanser' is. I haven't any at home. never saw one." Bobble's lip was quivering and b eyes were filling with tears.
