PERCY CALKINS, Editor
The following are some notes from
Ballon’s Pictorial Drawing room Com
panion, ion, Mass., of the year
1857:
The Maniac—Once, on a dimly
lighted bridge, a traveler met a man
whose fantastic costume astonished
and rromtwhat alarmed him. The wind
blew high, nnd the waves rolled tur
bulently under the solemn timbers ot
the old arches: black and sullen were
the waters—black and sullen were the
sky. The man wore a red shirt; a
handkerchief was tied with fantastic
exactness about his head, and under
it stood out his wild elf-locks, black
as the night, the sky and the waters.
Startled by this apparition at an un
seemly hour, the traveler stood appal
od, and each surveyed the other on
the long, dismal thoroughfare. At last;
a peal of sharp laughter filled the air;
he of the red shirt sprang forward,
laying both hands heavily upon the
unprepared stranger, and cried out,
in unearthly tones, “Man, man did
you ever thank God for your reason?”
“I—l never did!” stammered the |
traveler, striving to regain his self-,
possession.
“Then, thank Him now!”—shouted
the maniac; and standing back to
make a leap, hls last cry rang out on
the night as he yelled—"for I have
lost mine!” and he sprang over the
bridge into the heaving waters, whose
moaning serge smothered his dying
trogglea.
Reader, did you ever thank God for {
your reason? If not, “Thank Him now 1 '

Great are the mysteries of ocean
l*>stage. It costs more to send an
ounce of paper to Europe than it does j
to send a barrel of flower. A man may
have a state room, eat. drink, sleep
and lounge all over the ship, and yet
a quiet mall bag that has stood all t
the time in a dark corner, is charged »
seven times as much passage money ]
as he is!
"A penny for your thoughts ,mad-!
am,” said a gentleman to a pert
beauty.. “They are not worth a farth
ing, sir” she replied, "I was thinking
of you.”
In the town records of Boston, Mass,
under the date of 1578. the following
resolution Is found: “That a dlctlon
arye shall be bought for the scollers
of the free scoole; and the same
books to be tyed In a cheyne, and set
upon a desk In the scoole. whereupon
any scoller may have acoesse, as oc
casion shall serve.”

Our Neglected Investment
More than one billion dollars has
been Invested by the people of the
United States in schoolhouses and
school equipment. Mark the words—
Invested, and by the people of the
United States.
Two things go to make an Invest
ment. It must be safe, that Is worth
what It coat; and It must pay a rea
sonable return. The first of these con
ditions Is met by the school property
In the United States; but is the sec
ond? Does the property, as a matter
of fact, pay a reasonable return?
When a man erects a building for
business purposes, he assumes that
it will be used at least eight hours a
day for at least three hundred days
in the year. Many such buildings are
in use a much larger part of the time.
The average length of time that tho
school houses are in use is only one
hundred and sixty-five days in the yeai
and for not over five hours a day at
that.
If the business man should discover
that tho hall he owns Is In use only
a small part of the day. would he not

Hamid and Haven Starr went to
Powell today on the noon train to
hobnob with the tfehool boys of that
place.
G. E. Gowey, the Powell real estate
man was clown on business this morn
ing. Mr. Gowey has made a couple*
of deals near Powell. He sold the Geo.
Schrleber place to Wm, C. Pond and
tht Fred Arinagot place to Thomas
Sheedy.
Hoyt Beeman and family, Job Mer
edith and family, Burt Oxley, Sena,
and Winnie Jacobson arrived here
Thursday from Town and will take a
little time to look around for a suit
able location.
Rev. Cooper made himself an X‘ll3
try to find use for it the unoccupied
time.? Is there any reason why, dur
ing the hours the schools are not in
session, schoolhouses should not be
made to serve any wholesome purpose
In which the community as a whole
13 interested and of which it approves.
Who is the owner of this immerse
property? The American people. That
means you and you and you. It is not
i the school comittee: they are merely
I your chosen agents. It Is not alone the
man that has children. School taxes
are levied alike on the childless and
those who have large families, on the
married and the unmarried. What is
' to be said of our wisdom in keeping
i the schoolhouses closed while our sons
j loaf on the street corners for want of
i a place to meet, and our daughters
i accept invitations for gatherings held
in quarters we know little about.
That a nation noted for its shrewd
ness, a people made up of indlvidu
, als who would not let a healthy horse
I be idle half Its time, could neverthe
| leste be capable of this economic folly
j in regard to its schoolhouses will be
a cause of wonder In generations j
hence.
Perhaps, however, we might not
have to wait a generation. A few
weeks ago the first National Confer
ance on Civic and Social Centre De
velopment, met in Madison, Wiscon
sin. Thirty-five hundred members
were present, to all of whom “social
centre development” means the wider
and freer use of schoolhouses. They
will agitate and extort and dissemin
ate information; but the man in the
little country town, where there is no
free meeting place, is the man who
must act. —Youth’s Companion.
