It was a bleak, rainy autumn day and In the fourth ^'rade room of the Bellingham school the weather, reacttng as it always does upon the pupils, had produced a stats of inattention, restlessness and disorder, which grew more marked with every hour. Miss Booth, the pretty little teacher, had a worried line creasing ner 8m00111 wane forehead and there was a worried took In her soft brown eyes. As usual, the ringleader was Chaos* cer Bartlett. During the first threo weeks of school he had been absent, ooovalescing from a minor operation, and Miss Booth, who was a stranger in the place and a new teacher in the school, had had no especial trouble wtth her pupils. But when Chauncey got back, the young imps of the fourth grade rallied to their leader to' a boy; *e little girls loved their teacher and frankly disapproved of "those horrid boys." The negative consolation ?f this, however, hardly offset the active discomfort caused by the busy Chauncey. Ha was a handsome boy, the only child of Doctor Bartlett and it was whispered among the teachers that if any of their number should presume to Inflict corporal punishment upon Chauacey, the offender would not remain lon^ in the Belllnfham school. Doctor Bartlett was nld to be violently opposed to corpora! punishment. Upon this day the principal was ill and at home. Chauncey, aware of the fact became more and more outrageens until Miss Booth saw that she must assert herself decidedly or lose the last vestige of authority she poeThe last straw was a shrill whistle, proceeding without the least concealment from Chauncey's puckered lips. "Chauncey," said the teacher, "pass Into the dressing room. Albert you nay act as monitor till I return." She took from the desk drawer a heavy ferule and followed the offender Into the dressing room and closed 1HC UWt* "Chauncey," she said, "hold oat your handf The boy's eyes widened. "Ton whip me and HI tell my father!" he retorted defiantly. "Tell him, by all means," was the spirited reply, "and If be makes any objections, HI fernle him, too. Hold eat yoar hand!" The unmistakable ring of authority and of perfect fearlessness In her tone had their effect. Chauncey held oat his hind and a few moments later was trying to avoid whimpering over a I tingling pain. He was very quiet the rest of the morning and the others, awed by the events which had occurred, were models of behavior. He did not return for the afternoon session, however, and Miss Booth augured the worst from the fact She had just finished superintending her desk for the night when there came a tap oo the door, and going to answer It her heart almost stopped beating to see the splendid figure of Doctor Bartlott towering before her. "Miss Booth, I believe?" he began stepping Into the room in answer to her mute gesture of Invitation. "I understand that you feruled my son Chauncey today." ~ 1 did!" said Miss booul "And that you said If I had any objections you would ferule me?" "1 did !** repeated Miss Booth. "Hold enr your hand!" She was close to the breaking point, weariness and fear, and loneliness all but overwhelmed her. It was all over! She would lose her position, perhaps have great trouble In getting another. "And now," said the doctor, quietly, rubbing his hands upon l^s handkerchief, "let*s talk this over. Ton sea, I haven't any objections to your feraltng my son!" * Miss Booth's face became ashen. "Don't be disturbed, I beg," said the doctor. "I understand the whole thing. Chauncey Is, as you know, motherless; 1 am away from home too much to give him the attention he needs, and he winds our cook round his little finger. It Is true, I do not believe in whipping children too often, but there comes a time with some when nothing else, apparently, will bring them to their senses. Chauncey has used a mistaken impression which prevailed about me to tyrannise over his teachers. I felt that any teacher without t-1 a(?#A?AA nha^lanM DICKUQUe euuugu iv cuivivc vv?iu??v. without fear or favor deserved no assistance from me. I am glad that he has found one of the other kind at last He is at present in bed at home, and I think 1 can promise you that he will be obedient In the future!" Miss Booth sat down weakly in her chair. The room was going round and the doctor was becoming a giant She presently woke to find him holding water to her lips, her head pillowed comfortably against hip great arm. "You little thoroughbred," a voice was saying above her, "I never enJoyed anything like those slaps with the ferule!" The next June the doctor transferred the ferule and Its owner to his own home, with the enthusiastic approval of Master Ckauncey. o 666 has proven it will cure Ma* laria, Chills and fever, Billons Fever Colds and LaGrippe. r i j - EASY PICKING FOR SCOTSMAN Canny Individual Right In Hit Element in German Prison Canp?

He stole beef and potatoes for as and schnapps for himself. Steamboat was not the only one who was steal- , lng. There were a few tone of potatoes in the basement and a guard would take a fatigue down occasionally to pick out the rotten ones. They spent most of the time putting good potatoes by a window for the Belgians and invariably came back up<uiirx A-ith their breeches legs filled with the best. These were boiled and issued through the ward at night Ton ' an imagine what a row there was when an inspector went down and found the hawment Innocent of potatoes. Steamboat had with him a crownand-anchor board, a great gambling game of the British army. He soon found when the Germans would get their pay and made plans accordingly. He spread his board on a table and began rattling the dice In a tin cnp and with familiar accents began spieling.

Hsaith in City and Country. Are city dwellers less subject to dieease than the country bred, after all? Statistics from the cantonments seem to show it, and an editorial writer in the Journal of the American Medical Association suggests that although the city may harbor more disease germs than the country the dwellers In it may have become comparatively immune. It is well known that the natives of remote Islands to which the "diseases of civilization" have never penetrated are ravaged by them to an unheard of degree when they are Introduced by the white man. Possibly a rural dlatrift thmnrh Inherentlv free from dls ease, may for that very reason yield more rapidly to infection when it comes. Study of conditions such as these, the writer notes, has been grefttly facilitated by the existence of large bodies of men mobilized in army camps subject to systematized medical supervision which has furnished unique opportunities for gathering statistics on an unprecedented scale. Wireless Works Best by Night As a result of certain observations made during the solar eclipse of May 29 last, further evidence is forthcoming with regard to the phenomena of day and night wireless signaling. Under normal conditions the wireless station at Meudon, Paris, Is unable to receive daylight signals from Ascension island, but can do so during the hours of darkness. During the eclipse, which was not visible In France and only partially visible In Ascension, special tests were made between the two stations, and it was found that while the moon's shadow passed between them Ascension was quite audible at Meudoo, the signal* falling as the shadow passed away. This may be taken as additional proof that the increase in the distance at which a given transmitter is able to affect a given receiver as a result of nightfall. Is due to the diminution of the effect of solar radiation on electromagnetic waves. Yo Preserve "Paul Jones House." The threat to destroy the "Paul Jones house" in Portsmouth, N.
