L * ,,* .."^'V11' *A w*''l! If w" w,'r" *? fa,,"r ?* a Ufl yearold brat
who couldn t make a hKter show at demonttratinc hti arlthmetical oroblema
than theCmnnr. wed feel tempte,i u, i,.t hJn w.u, a brick." -Newa prob,em8
Well, well, well! will ye listen at that?
Thegreat "yelept" blow on his precocioua brat!
He saya: "He'd be wrrart and he would be slick
And kuock out the CftTOHM with a big 'rithmetic."
He'a noseing around, hotafter a ac<iop,
And comcs down on us with one "felf swoop."
But oh, it is bad! and so sad to relate?
? When weheard the screechings of his "Billinga(gate)"
VWe could but feel aorry as braina Rew threw his hat
From the exertion of throwing a ten-year Brick-brat;
And to the public it certainly looks very plain
That the Fisheries' report has addled his brain.
Now, as with the father, so also the sona,
(For in most families heredity runs)
And were the son forty, or four score and ten,
He'd know no mo* arithmetic than a buff cochin hen.
For two months we've beat in his head with a maul
That twelve months was a year, and that that sum was all.
\et his head wouldn't hold it, as all must have seen,
Since he still sticks it out that it takes thirteen.
We've never believed in tokens, "folk lore" and signs,
(But confess we are wobbly along certain lincs)
And that thirteen's unlucky, we are fain to confcs6?
WTTo the crowd that's monkeyed with a big hornefs nest.
They got in the mire and couldn't pull out,
And are splashingand spluttering like a big clout.
They've gone in a hole and no more can be seen,
And the grass is growing o'er them, yet they holler "thirteen!"
Some say their brain's in the head where the skin is so thin,
But we are inclined to believe that it's down in their ahin;
And their subscribers, they are to be pitied we ween,
For two months they've had nothing but the number thirteen.
So. now, farewell to you and your dolts,
Your "Oysterrflan," "Kinghan's(ham)" and old "Farinholts;"
We are hieingaway to pasture that's green,
Where we won't be bothered with your crazy thirteen;
And as for you fellows, take a layman's advice:
To cool off your brains, put your shins on the ice.

HE USE5 SEVEN PENS.
UoYernor Swanson Signsthe Teach
er's Penglou Bi 11.
Something important was about to
happen. And something did happen
pretty shortly thereafter, for into the
executive offices rustled, tripped and
flitted six young ladies, as fresh, as
radient. and as bloorning as all of the
flowers that bloom in the spring, tra-la.
They were school teachers.
Yes, the famous six who got through
the pension bill, which is to bring pecu
niary sunshine to worn out educators
after their professional usefulness is
done.
The floral sextette, in hats and bon
nets, which blossomed like an Arca
dian conservatory, came to witness the
signing of the pension bill ?to stand
over the Governor and see that
he didn'thedge at the last minute.
Tho sextette were ushered into the
tastefully furnished reception room
while the announcement came forth
that the executive would appear in a
motncnt.
Then just to keep peacc in the Capi
tol, for the chattering every second
was growing louder, Secretary Owen
coylygave to each teacher a beautiful
lithograph of the Virginia flag.
With a smilc which possibly may
never come off. Governor Swanson
loomed up on the feminine vision three
minutes after this plcasing incident,
and then the fun began.
First, the Executive intimated that,
after all, he might not sign the bill,
but ajarmed by the ensuing uproar, he
quickly took down his colors and told
his visitors that he would sign, but
that there was a statute which imposed
a heavy fine on lobbyists.
The faithful Ben proceeded to lay
hands on this law, but the fair school
ma'ams?his lavender cravat to the
contrary notwithstanding?gave him
the cheery ha-ha.
When the Executive got ready to
annex his signature to the bill, the
situation which the thoughtful secre
tary had anticipated forthwith aroae.
All the teachers wanted the pen and
trouble seemed imminent. With the
wisdom of a Solomon, the Executive
proceeded to adjust this threatening
complication. He called for all the
seven pens and proceeded to sign on the
installment plah. "Cl"-hewrote,
and by then Miss Mary Webb had the
pen. "Au"- he added, and by
that time ever vivacious Miss Nellie W.
Birdsong had the second treasure.
"De" came ne::t as a fragment of the
gubernatoriai chirography, and black
eyed Miss Leisa Archer got a pen.
After the significant letters "Sw"
(the first symbols of the patronymic
Swanson?not swat) had been dashed
off pretty Miss Cornelia Adair received
a pen, and so it went to the ink-spark
ling end.
Pens, of course, fell to the lot of Miss
Mary E. Frayser, the thinking end of
the sweet lobby, and to Miss Cornelia
S. Taylor, the letter writing and hard
working end, while a seventh was re
served for Mrs. Aarons, who had spe
cially requested to be remembered.
The Governor then tried vainly to
look stern and said: "Now you ought
to be sati8fied, after bulldozing and
threatening everybody."
But he didn't mean it for a second,
and everybody knew he didn't, for the
six ladies before him had endeared
themselves to everybody at the Capitol
?legislators, lobbyists, elevator men,
janitors and all.
Although genial and irresistable at
all times, there was never a second
when their earnestness of purpose and
desire to make friends carried them the
millionth part of an inch beyond the
bounds of circumspection.
They labored night and day in a
worthy cause; they accomplished what
everybody said they couldn't accom
plish; they achieved results that no six
men on earth could have brought
about.
So it's a fond goodbye to the school
ma'ama now, unless, indced, they want
something elsc, when all-the old cod
gers in particular?will be mighty glad
to see them again.
Not content with making the Gover?
nor sign the pension bill in their pres
ence, the teachers, by duress, likewise
compelled him to auto^raph each of the
pictures showing the State flag: ?
Kichmond Journal.
SMILES ARL THE WORLD'S RIGHT.
What's the use of stifling all the
laughs and smiles and good thoughts
that are inside you? Heaven knows
there are in the world tears enough
that can't be helped! Whenever you
feel like laughing, go ahead and laugh,
says the April New Idea, editorially.
When you feel likesinging go ahead and
sing out good and loud. It will break
the clouds of the worry-disturbed at
mosphere; it will shakeaway the miser
able little troubles that come hanging
around, bothering one and interrupt
ing and making fusses all the time.
Don't let trouble down you. Put on
your steel armor of good thoughts.
Get out your broomstick of optimism
and when Trouble comes along hit him
one big, beautiful swoop. Then run
away so he can't catch you. Don't
laugh?this isn't a joke, ?it's "for
real."
Some people have a fool idea that to
keep young and happy is to be regard
less of the serious matters of life. But
the real serious matter in life is to be
courageous. Force yourself to say the
pleasant, bright things that come to
your mind.
Hard? Of course it is! But it is a
good fight, this one against allowing
one's self to be submerged in personal
griefs, and out of it you can come a
conqueror if you will.
But there is always a remedy for a
heavy heart. It may be in good, hard,
all-absorbing work?itoftenest is.
It may be in thinking out the joys
that have been given to you, and the
sorrows from which you have been
saved.
lt may bo in helping others by sympa
thy or in whatever way help is most
needed, in forgetting self entirely, and
in remembering and relieving the needs
of others as far as possible, or in think
ing out what the future holds until
your heart grows light and the world
8eems full of sunshine.
WHY7
The Staunton Dispatch draws a very
nice distinction when it acquits the mo
tives of the Governor in nominating
Judge Rhea for the State Corporation
Commission, and of the members of the
Legislature in confirming the nomina
tion, and selects Judge Mann alone by
name for its censure. Impliedly, the
other eight members of the committee
majority are not arraigned as publicly
and as personally as Judge Mann is by
the Dispatch. Now, is there any
ground in reason or justice for aspers
ing Judge Mann's motives more than
the motives of the rest of the majority
of the investigating committee, or of
Governor Swanson, who. not only
made the nomination, but who went on
thestand and justified it by his per
sonal and official knowledge of the
nominee, or of the members of the
Legislature who voted for the confir
mation with a full knowledge of the
testimony and after elaborate discus
sion of it in joint session? Not one of
these gentlemen, we dare say, will
shrink from any responsibility for his
part in this matter, or will seek immu
nity from any censure justly applicable
to Judge Mann. They would scorn to
do so. But why, of all these repre
sentative and responsible gentlemen, is
Judge Mann alone to be censured? It
is because he is a candidate for the
gubernatorial nomination? That's the
only difference between him and the
rest that we can discover. ? Index-Ap

NYhen I think of the towel,
The old fashioned towel,
That used to hang up by the printing
house-door,
I think that nobody,
In these days of shoddy.
Can hammer iron to wear as it wore.
The tramp that abused it, -
The devil that used it,
The make-up and foreman, the editor
(poor man)
Each rubbed some grime off
While they put a heap on,
And spotted it up like the old inking
stand.
In, over, and under,
'Twas blacker than thunder,
'Twas harder than poverty, rougher
than sin,
From the roller suspended,
It never was bended,
And it flopped on the door like a ban
ner of tin.
It grew thicker and rougher,
Harder and tougher,
And daily put on an inkier hue
Till one windy morning,
Without any warning,
It fell to the flocr and was broken in two.
PEARLS FROM THE SHELLS.
Pity the poor newspapcr man, for
another print paper trust is forming
with a proposed capital of $50,000,000.
The rcport of the organization says
"littlecash will be required," but we
doubt that, for experience tcachcs us
that all the corporations want all the
cash they can squeeze out of the Amer
ican people.? Accomack News.
The News-Leader has held editorially
in several recent issues that the Anti
Saloon League has committed a serious
offense in getting pledges of support as
to proposed temperance legislation. Is
this objection to our policy a sound
one or is it utterly mistaken? The
Anti-Saloon League must be willing in
its hour of victory to bear severe criti
cism. It is a price of victory that the
victors are to be charged with improper
methods in accomplishing their objects.
? (Rev.) J. E. T. Dadmun.
Some people aay they only believe
halfthey hear, but it is usually the
half that ian't true. Some folks aay
they only believe what they see, but
they don't believe a hundredth part of
what they see with their eyes, because
it is the mind that sees. "Having eyes
ye see not" is true of most of us. The
greatest forces in the universe are in
visible to our eyes, like the law of
gravitation. Faith can see more and
work more wonders than any other
force; and yet it is invisible, except in
its results.
LITERARY NOTES.
Teachers everywhere, but especially
of the secondaryor preparatory schools.
are finding much food for thought in
the series of articles entitled "Educa
ting Our Boys," now appearing in Lip
pincott's Magazine. The first of these,
"The Cost," was published in the
March number. The aecond, "The,
Time and the Task," will be brought
out in the April number. Joseph M.
Rogers, the author, is entitled to
thanks for his timely and enlightening
articles.
