My visit to Nome of your' hcIiooIm Friday wuw highly gratifying ' Heaver I>ain, eassatt, Shamrock and ilardMhell Indicate your progreaftivc policy of providing adequate rural schools for your county. 'I'lit* buildings in every iiiMtauce are modern, well finished, and const ructod according to Slate plans. Yonr program of build lug only two-room and three -room school houses is certainly right. The one -roojn, one- luuclicr school room is loo r?e\rore|y handlcupi>ed to secure the most desirable results. At the same time, localities that are compelled to he content with only one-room school houses need not go old of Kershaw counts to ll ii?

'.latiug with yourself and your couut> Hoard of Kducatlon. these energetic and unselfish citizens. A live hoard usually Insures a progressive school. The movement for an adequate school building at Itcthune shows that the taxpayers of this district are de termined to let nothing interfere with the education of their boys and girls. A bond issue of $10, (MM) would provide the necessary building and auditorium and au adequate local tax to meet cur rent expenses will pay for the neces sary teaching force. Itcthiiuc will thus be iu position to attract hlidi school pupils from lis large and prosperous outlying territory. It seems to me that the chief problem before the County Superintendent is to maintain an adequate school term. I hope every school in the county will be T:ept in session at least six months this year. In conclusion. I wish to congratulate vol i upon the modern' methods used by c??iir rural school supervisor and your teachers. li would be hard to brim.' together in any county a more ettlcdent ? ?orps of workers. Permit me also t ? ? thank you for the < lei I vi 1 1 1 f ii I hospitality -o courteously '?hrwii nie by yourself, trustees, teach ers and patrons.

They love<1 him foi Mh courage, but were sometimes lfrltated '>y la strictiieaa. Yet In Bpito of this exacting aevority ho wuh unexpectedly lenient when a large occasion demanded It. One day, when the n-gimont waa "tiring blank," a bullet whlatleu by him. He did not atop the tiring, but when the number oi' rounds ordered . had been completed lie rode up to the I line and said: "Hoya, there's a bad ahot In the | Tenth.

Take my advice and don't shoot Tom Franks until tho lighting's done, for ye won't find a bettor man : to lado yo!" The regiment answered with a j cheer and carried tho Sikh batteries ; with the bayonet, rather than run tho ! risk of shooting the beloved old fire I eater at their head. HARD TO DEFINE BEAUTY i I Subtle Quality Makes Its Appeal Only to Those Gifted With the Right Insight. That which is beautiful is always i pretty in the broad sense of tho term, I but mucn that the world in general ! counts as pretty is anything but beau 1 tit'ul in the esthetic eye. I I'rettineas is of the faoe and obvi ous, but beauty is of the- soul, and therefore, more subtle. Somo very i crudely colored calendars will appeal i to many as being beautiful, though i to the cultured eye they are far from ? suggestive of grace in either tono : or form. I There have been many attempts to ; define beauty, yet It cannot be said that any definition has thrown much light upon the subject. It manifests itself in such an infinite variety of forms, though there is a general agree ment that its highest expression is in the female form divine. Even here the diversity is so extensive that the people of no two races, let alone na tions, have ever agreed upon the same type. The Madonnas of the world's artists are striking instances of the different conceptions of the utmost spiritual grace. ? . This much is certain; mere prettl ness, whether In woman, painting, sculpture, music, poetry or literature, is either a primal or artificial har mony in no wise pleasing to those who have come to know the best. And much of that best is not so very diffi cult to appreciate. It is largely a mat ter of education and of habit Some people perceive harmony with readi ness in certain forms and are yet ob livious to it in others. There are col or-blind musicians and tone-deaf sculp tors. Dependable Stock. Here is one that was told at a social function one evening, when the conver sation turned to the ways of Wall street: Some lime ago Smith dined with a friend named Jones. Jones rallied around Wall street and had to do with stocks and bonds, and eventually the talk between the two traveled in that \ trend. "Hy the way, Jones," remarked : Smith. "I picked up something dirt ! cheap the other day. It stood at 83 ? when I bought it and by the time I got home it had touched 89." "Gee whiz!" exclaimed Jones, j TTTaCs like having a donation party j thrust on you! What was U?" "A \new thermometer," was the chuckling rejoinder of Smith. Influences of the Moon. The many and erratic motions of the ; moon are so intricate that space here , is not enough for their technical ex planation The most important of the Influences of the moon is in its caus ing the ocean tides by its powerful magnetic attraction, and it is an in fluence that is best understood in its efTect by the mass of the people. The old superstition in regard to planting and sowing, and in doing many other things at a certain "time of the moon." still fostered by few of the almanac? and believed in by many, was lone ae;o made obsolete by the development of science and general in telligence. , Must Have.
