She Refuted to Set the Opportunities Near Home and Created a Spirit of Unrest and Discontent Among Pupils. Tho "beat" iv^cher we ev?r had In our old district school hud a , distinct* !y hud lulluence in tho community, says u writer in Farm Ufe. Horn und ualseU in tho country, phe i longed for tho town with her whole HOld) "She despised tlio rurul life. She thought ull tho wisdom of tho world wit* printed In hooks, and that ull the worthwhile opportunities 01 life were to l>t> found in distant cities*. She did not openly deride ami mock our parents, of course, hut wo kuew without being told what her feeling was. She was tuli of enthusiasm, and alu found it easy to Inspire us with hei own top-lofty ambitious. Aio*t of the girls in tho neighbor hood wanted to be Jenny Limit* and Florence Nightingales. All the boy* wanted to be heroes ? great soldiers^ poets, Judges, statesmen. None of us, of course, wanted to be great in his own neighborhood. Kach thought he had to get away from home In order to have u chance In life. Teacher could not. In fact, see the neighborhood. The eyes of her soul were ti filleted with that disease which tho oculists, call hypermetropla. She could only see distant objects. The girls In the neighborhood, feel lug the Impulse toward "wider hori zon," drifted away to the towns aud cltl?#, They escaped the "dendenlng monot ony" of rurul life by becoming wait resses in hotels and workers In fac tories. Some fared a little better and some ft great deal worse ? but none of them becatno n Jeuny Llnd or a Florence Nightingale. ' The boys, tod, were full of the grAhu unrest. They tuftied their backs scorn fully on the old hotnestoftds; Euch was "the architect of his otffl fortune," and teacher had ttthght hlrtf to believe that all the building mate rials were to be found' in distant -places. After they had failed ns architects, many of them came humbly but gladly back to the old district and succeeded ns farmers. Now as never before in the world opportunity Is found on the farm, and every school teacher should know Thero are more statesmen of real worth and more genuine poets coming from the tan grass than from the tall buildings. - The wider horizon is the privilege of youth, but It Is visible to everyone who ilfta his head at home, .while, it ia too often obscured by clouds of smoke to the sojourner In the cities. Do not let teacher fill the minds of your children full of cheap romance while she Ignores all the beauty and dignity that should make rurul life so satisfying. Paid $5,600 for a Colt Those who had the mistaken idea that the day of the horse is passing must have received a rather severe Jolt- when Walter Ccrx paid no less than $5,600 for an undeveloped year ling of standard-bred trotting blood. While higher prices have been ob tained for yearlings in other days, therV has always been a record at tached to the natural breeding attrac tions of the youngster in question. InJ this case, however, St, Frusquln, a son of the noted San Francisco-Mellsande. has never been driven against time, and thus the price establishes a new record on the sales market It seems rather a pity that the name St. Frus quln should have been chosen for such a promising colt It will inevitably be confused, possibly at a disadvantage, with the great running horse St Frus quin? owned by Leopold de Rothschild ? which was the winner of the classic 2,000 guineas and was beaten only by the sensational Persimmon, Shen .owned by the prince of "Wales, in! the derby of 1806. ?

An elderly bachelor and an equally elderly spinster sat in* a concert hall.

Thin one wus on the "current side" ot tt great river, and the nadir of one of it* majestic ho ml*. Hugo elm ami oak tree* pew on the hunk and shaded waters whose limpid depths held such delights as nowhere else have been ? 4?xperieneed. The smooth rock bottom of the river was ever washed clean, while (be while Hand of the oil of heath along tho shore was tlrm and gratelul to the foot. tlThls Ideal spot was not easy to access, hut the enter prising youth of the village found am ple recompense In ita Juys for any ex ertion, even on the hot teat day, re quired t?? reach It. Those who swan there, now grown gray, look at tin homes that have Invaded their happv land with some thoughts of sorrow. The old swimming hole Is only i cherished memory, remarks the Omnh Bee. Its wonderful freedom^ In ui ways appreciated by a healthy bo> is contracted with tho modern swim nilng hole, provided by n great citx mindful of the needs u i its growln citizens. In this euso It Is a hug tank. set on the slope of one of th? line hills In a city park, surroumlct by beautiful trees, a well kept lawn and provided \ylth all the ap purtenances needful to the complet enjoyiuuut ot the boldest swimmer 01 most graceful or daring diver. It Is ? wonderful pool and the shouts of glet* that come up from Its surface thesi hot evenings testify most forcefullj to the appreciation of old and young of privilege. The new swimming hole Is typical of the newer life Into which tho race Is merging Its existence, the urban rather than iho rural. It la a regular stop in tho orderly progress of man's evolution, but lt? well appointed und equally regulated delights will never take tho place of that splendid swim ming hole nature provided for the use of boys, many of whom ore now grand fathers. A Chivalrous Judge. "One of our Judges, famed for his Rivalry and uncompromising loyalty to tho traditions of procedure, was try ing fl case in which one of the wit nesses happened to bo a local actress of unusual popularity," said Col. Hiker of Harrodsbui'g, Ky. "Her evidence was such that trie usual question as to her age was not likely to be omit ted, so when ?ho oamo to thn aland hl^ honor Instructed the court clerk to suspend action for n moment ; then he addressed the lady. '"Madam, how old are you?' "'Twenty-five,' promptly returned the witness, who was plainly thlrty flveTbr over. ** "'Very well,' said the Judge, polite ly. "I asked you that question because, If I hadn't, it would surel.V have been asked you when the attorney for the defense cross-examined you. And, now, that you have told your age, do you swear to telkthe truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?'"? Everybody's Magazine. Interesting Instrument. When n German aeroplane on recon naissance duty over the French lines was recently brought down by the al lies, an aerial camera of an odd type was recovered intact. The instrument is ^described with illustration, in the Popular Mechanics magazine. It proved to bto a splendid instrument and has attracted much Interest ampng members of the flying corps. At the rear of tbe case a handle and tHgger like those of a revolver are provided, the latter being used to op erate the shutter. It weighs about twelve pounds and has an additional^ handle near the front end so that it can b'e held with two hands when In use. The looses are in universal focus and testa have shown that faultless photographs can foe obtained with the Instrument at heights varying > from 100 to 1,800 yards. -ill- ' _ - Importance of M. An artist should consider facts about thp masters of his profession calmly and thoughtfully. He may reach valu able conclusions about himself. A cer tain musical composer of much talent . ?
