rA : merchant ' who had a store in
two small towns tried an experiment.
He put a bargain counter in each
store containing the same articles at
the same prices. In the newspaper of
one village he advertised his special
sale counters. In the paper of the
other he did not. Tn one month in
the village where he did not adver
tise he sold $984 worth of goods. In
the store where he did advertise he
sold the same goods amounting to
$1724. In commenting on the result
of the experiment the merchant says:
People who got the paper with the
advertisement 'would pass by one
store and drive for miles to the other
one for what they could have gotten
at the same price at my store at their
door, bat they did not know it was
there." .

OCTOBER 7. 1905.
Some Evening Reveries.
In the very beginning it was decid
ed by the highest authority that it
was not good for man to be alone,
and we don't wonder at it when we
look about us and see -how much
some men expect of their wives. We
read somewhere recently that "of all
creatures in the world, a man is the
most helpless alone. A chicken two
hours out of the shell can take better
care of itself than a man can." Of
course a woman wrote that, and the
next conclusion is that that woman
has washed her husband's neck and
eara,ever since she has had him and
has made him just the helpless creat
ure that he is.
The question is often asked. "Is
marriage a failure?" We say "No,"
if you don't expect too much of it;
but don't run the risk of trying to re
form a man after marriage. In all
probability you will be disappointed
if you do. If your husband used to
bacco when you married him, the Bi
ble forbids curtain lectures afterward,
for it says, "He that is filthy, let him
be filthy still." There is a bright
side to everything, if you will only
look till you find it.N If your husband
smokes, be thankful be doesn't chew;
if he smokes and chews both, be
thankful he doesn't drink; if he does
all three, be thankful he won't live
long.
There are very few children indeed
that. ever get over their early training.
In my native town there stands, in
front of the school building, a large
oak tree. When this tree was quite
small, a boy climbed to the top of it,
and, swinging off, by his weight pull
ed it over to the ground. It still
shows the effect of that bending. How
many people eo through lite . wun
their characters all bent and warped
for the want of proper early training.
Being gentle and tender in her nature,
woman comes in close contact with
children, wielding an influence that
no one else possibly could. Had it
not been for the wise, consecrated
Christian mother, this country might
never have had a character so noble
as that of George Washington. Of
how many mothers might it be said
as a great man once said of his moth
er: "All that I am, or ever hope to be,
I owe to my mother."
,
Home should be made the most in
teresting and loved spot on earth, not
merely four square walls of wood and
brick; it should be the fountain of civ
ilization; the very word should touch
every fiber of the soul and strike ev
ery chord of the human heart with its
angelic fingers; a place where thought
is centralized on the higher and bet
ter things of life, bringing forth in
the highways and byways an influ
ence that will be felt by all with
whom it comes in contact. It should
be a place where the heart is; a place
where our feet may leave but not our
hearts, a place where angels unfold
their wings, the place we love best,
because it is the place where mother is.
Men can build the house and wall
it in, a resistance against storms and
elements, but the man with all his
genius and artisan science cannot
make the home; that ever has and
ever will be the task of woman. It
is she alone that can bring to .it
warmth and beauty; here she reigns
supreme.
Let our homes be places of love,
joy and brightest sunshine, places of
enduring love that outlasts the wed
ding day, and which produces a life
of one long, unbroken honeymoon,
the molding place of character, a
place where the child breathes an at
mosphere perfumed by the choicest
flowers of heaven, where it finds the
greatest earthly security in mother's
loving, fostering care.
$1.00. A YEAR
LACLEDE SCHOOLS DOING GOOD WORK.
A Commercial Department to be Added
the Hijht School Work.
te
The first month of school ended
last week. Although it was the first,
it is conceded to have been the best
month of school we have ever had in
Laclede. The total enrollment for
the month was 224, with an average
daily attendance of 209. Under nor
mal conditions, the school year so
propitiously begun will certainly be a
most successful one.
For the purpose of accommodating
many pupils who desire to take a
commercial course, Prof. Sipple has
arranged to have a class in bookkeep
ing. This will be a course worth the
consideration of some who have not
yet been enrolled in our school. In
this course attention will be given to
commercial arithmetic, business En
glish and penmanship. Prof. Sipple
is a graduate of the commercial de
partment of the Gem City Business
College, of Quincy, 111., which is suf
ficient evidence of his qualification in
that work.
The class will be organized Mon
day morning, October 9. If any non
residents wish to take a commercial
course, it will pay them to confer with
Prof. Sipple at their earliest opportu
nity. Thirteen non-resident pupils
have taken up work in our High
School thus far this year. Of course,
there is room for others.
School Report.
Report of Sunny Point school for
month beginning Sept. 4, 1905, and
ending Sept. 29, 1905: Enrollment,
male, 10, female 6; total, 16; total
number of days attendance by all pu
pils for the month, 294; average daily
attendance, 14 7-10; number attend
ing eyery day, 10; number of cases of
tardiness, 2; truancy, 0; corporal pun
ishment, 0; number of volumes in li
brary, 29.
Those attending every day were
Chester, Minnie, Oscar, Petie and
Herman Billings, Via, Essie and
Amanda Glenn, Emmons Peer and
Thornie Lamme.
Those whose deportment was 100
throughout the month were Via, Es
sie and Amanda Glenn, Thornie
Lamme, Bloyce Deininger, Oscar,
Petie and Herman Billings, Roy Luy
ster and Glenn Stoneburner.
The pupils have taken up the
school work in a manner that certain
ly is insoirine. There seems to be a
lack of interest on the part of the pa
trons, sinpe none of them come in to
visit us, but I hope they will try to
find time to visit our school in the
near future and thus encourage tHeir
children as well as teacher. Though
the enrollment is very small, yet
what is lacking in number is made up
in interest.
The school is badly in need of a
globe, dictionary, chart and wall
maps, which are not only necessary
but essential in the highest sense of
the word, for the proper maintenance
of a school.
Visitors for the month were Misses
Aletha "Wright, Edith and Lena Het
rick, Messrs. John Peer and William
Fife. A very cordial 'invitation is
extended to friends " and patrons to
visit us and inspect our work.
- Oar motto is, "Not how much,' bat
how well." Very; truly yours,
A. J. Clevengke, Teacher.

Kind words are like jewels in the
