Friday, Feb. 12 1909 If you ave a patron of thc Mar? lin ton public schools, or even if you have no children to send, it will bc worth your while to visit the school some morning during chapel exer? cises. To see the precision wiith which the pupils march from theil rooms to the chapel, the spirit with which they enter into the opening songs and responsive reading, even to the smaller tots, and to see them march again back to their room is: inspiring to say the least. It re? minds one very forcibly of the hel? ter-skelter methods of ''calling thc children to books" in former days. By the way, wouldn't it be a good idea for parents to visit the school a little oftener and see what their children are doing? It will only take a few minutes time.? Marlinton Messenger. We publish the above for thc benefit of such teachers as lay little or no stress upon discipline,system and good order. The teacher who fails in this is a failure all through, no matter what his ability may be as to imparting book-knowledge. The teacher who hasn't the dispo? sition or ability to bring his school up to a standard closely approach? ing the one at Marlinton, ought to surrender his certificate and follow an avocation for which he is fitted. The absence of "precision" and dis? cipline means rowdyism, abused school property, lack of respect and "helter-skelter" methods. Editorial Snapshots Washington Star: It would seem a great waste of money for a man of Mr. Rockefeller's income not to live as long as he possibly can. Indianapolis News: Freedom of the press, we guess, has not been abused half so much by the papers as freedom of speech has been abus? ed by the White House. New York Herald: Colonel Roosevelt has been offered $300, 000 to head a Wild West show for thirty weeks. Doubtless it was his Washington experience that made the offer possible. Cleveland Plain Dealer: If it is true that an Iowa girl has re? ceived 1,000 proposals of marriage and has rejected all of them, there will be fun later on when she starts in to tell her husband about the men she might have married. New York Herald: A woman cook shoots at her employer sim? ply because he remarked that the biscuits were heavy. What a waste of energy! She should have stood by camly and permitted him to eat a few. Louisville Courier Journal: ''Ten? nessee will hold her own," declares the Atlanta Constitution. Perhaps. But the trouble is that the crowd now running things in Tennessee refuse to allow other people to hold their own. Philadelphia Press: There is sc much trouble in Congress about what sort of conveyance shall be supplied President Taft it is sur? prising someone has not proposed the elephant. Philadelphia Ledger: One of the real secrets of anti-Japanese legislation in Calafornia is the de? sire of a few silver-tongued dema? gogues to get into action. After a year of prohibition, in Atlanta the Constitution reports that arrests by the Atlanta police decreased 8,810; the fines collect? ed in the recorder's court fell $34, 350 and thc fines worked out in the streets were less by $10,388. C. R. Kluger, the Jeweler, 106C Virginia Ave., Indianapolis, Ind., writes: "I was so weak from kidney trouble that I could hardly walk a hundred feet. Four bottles ol Foley's Kidney Remedy cleared my complexion, cured my back? ache and the irregularities disap? peared, and I can now attend tc business every day, and recom? mend Foley's Kidney Remedy tc all sufferers, as it cured me after the dectors and other remedies had failed."

Soma ol the Oral cUlaanjof tho! j United St tues will pay homage to I ' Abraham Lincoln at the old home stead of the Lincoln family in Lal : Rue county, Kentucky, on the oe I canon of President Lincoln's cen-j tenary, Feb. 12, when the corner-1 intone of a marble memorial hall on ! the Lincoln farm will be 1 a i d by : President Theodore Roosevelt. Py common consent, Lincoln is I now regarded as one of the great ? est statesmen, and the celebration of the 100th anniversary of bis birth will be a national one. Perhaps j fifteen million pupils in public schools will participate in the cele? bration. The history of Mr. Lincoln's ad? ministration, with its four years of civil war, is too well known to need recounting here. He never return? ed to Illinois, he never left Wash? ing, except for brief visits to the j Army, lie had to contend not ionly with foes in the fiield, b u t with foes in his own party. His j great qualities were not generally j appreciated until after he was dead Many of the leading Republicans regarded as a failure, an as late as 1864, less thau a year before hisas sasination, they tried to have him withdraw. In their violent parti? sanship they mistook his patience and moderation for weakness. His own Cabinet was divided, and Chase, the Secretary of the Treasu? ry, was an avowed candidate for the presidency against his chief. j But when the common people were | heard from, in the primary con ! ventions it was seen that they j were all for Lincoln, and the oppo isitiou died out. His tragic death, j just at the close of the war, helped j to give him his place in history, lit was the last misfortune of thc i South, for had he lived he would ; have spared that section much of j the humiliation of the Reconstruc? tion period.?Current Events. NOWllTtiTETAST LAP." Washington, D. C., Feb. G.? The American battleship fleet left Hampton Roads December 16, 1907, and when it again anchors in that port February 22 it will have been gone one year and sixty-eight days. No accident has marked the progress of the greatest armed fleet that ever made so long a voyage. The cruise has been in every re? spect an unqualified success. The trip has been watched with the greatest interest by all foreign powers, and whenever the vessels called at South America, Australia, Japan, China, Ceylon, Egypt and the ports of the Mediterranean, the officers and men have been given hearty official and private welcome. The fleet left Hampton Roads under Admiral Robley D. Evans, who conducted it as far as San Francisco. Rear Admiral Charles M. Thomas then took command, but he was succeeded May 15 by Rear Admiral Sperry, who is bring? ing the vessels home. Gibraltar, Feb. 6.?With the bands on board playing "Home, Sweet Home," the American fleet of sixteen battleships under Rear Admiral Sperry left Gibraltar at ll o'clock this morning for Hampton Roads on the last lap of its famous around-the-world cruise of 45,000 miles. One hour later the vessels were well clear of the land and steaming westward in double col | uran formation at a speed of ten knots an hour. They will follow the southern route to Hampton Roads, a distance of 3,600 miles, and about 1,000 miles off the Amer? ican coast they will be met by the third squadron of the American j fleet under Rear Admiral Arnold, I consisting of the battleships, Maine I Mississippi, New Hampshire and | Idaho and the scout cruisers Ches? ter, Birmingham and Salem. With Admiral Arnold's ships as an es? cort, the world-touring vessels will proceed to Hampton Roads, where they will be received by President Roosevelt on Washington's birth? day. The weather conditions at the time of departure were glorious. The sky was without a cloud and there was just enough breeze to curl the crests of the sun-flooded waves. Nothing could have sur? passed the beauty of the marine picture as the American armada emerged from the shadow of the towering rock of Gibraltar and mov? ed out into the straits. THE AMT RICAN "ATHLETE. The American nation ranks first in athletics, as shown in the last Olympiad in London. The horse? back ride of 91 miles through a driving snow-storm by the Pres? ident was a wonderful feat of en? durance, and is only another proof our of athletes. Human beings in the days past and to-day are compared to machines. There is no one questions, the logic of the compar? ison, for the body is equipped with all sorts of levers, pulleys, cordage, pumps and valves, which require a master mechanic to manage. Mike Murphy, the famous Penn trainer, undertakes this. He will write all about his wonderful work of brain and recreation in a series of articles to be published exclusively in the Sunday edition of The Philadelphia Press.

Feb, 7 *j The great battleship Delewars waa Kuccessfnlly hum.'lied from thc yards of the builders, the Newport News Shipbuilding ana Dry Dock Company, yesterday. The launch? ing was witnessed by 8,000persons. Compared with the battleships completed or under construction of the navy of any foreign country, the Delaware surpasses them all. She is one of four sister ships author? ized by congress which will form an indomitable squadron. The other vessels are the North Dakota, be? ing built at Quiney, Mass.; the Florida, which will be built at the New York Navy Yards, and the Utah, to be built at Camden, N. J. The Deleware is to carry as heavy armor and as powerful arma? ment as any known vessel of its class; will have a speed of twenty one knots, which is believed to be the highest practicable for a vessel of this type and class, and will have the highest practicable radius of action. The arrangement of her main-battery guns is such as to per? mit a broadside fire 25 per cent greater than that of the broadside fire of any battleship now built.or, so far as is known, under construc? tion.

For three days on a transatlantic cattle steamer, with passenger accom? modations, Mrs. Billings had been en? deavoring by persistent and continu? ous questionings to obtain* some ideas as to nautical proceedings, and the other passengers had about, reached the end of their patience. ?'Well," remarked Miss Talbot at fllnner as she passed the salt, "I am glad to find that they treat the cattle so humanely on board. Why, they take the temperature twice a day reg? ularly." "Oh," cried Mrs. Billings in a high, piercing crescendo, "do they really? I'm so glad to hear lt, but I shouldn't think they could very well." "Why not, madam?" Inquired an eld? erly man on her left. "Well-well, why," said Mrs. Bil? lings, "I sh uld think that lt would bo hard to keep a clinical thermometer In a cow's mouth long enough to get any temperature without having lt crush? ed."?Youth's Companion. Diamond Cutters and Their Work. Not only ls diamond cutting not n specially highly paid occupation, but it ls one involving a most humiliating system of espionage to the worker. Each man has to strictly account for the stones he receives on going to work lu the morning, and the count has to be carefully taken when the un? finished work ls handed In at night to be locked up In a safe against the re? turn of the workmen the next day The possibilities of theft are great, though a dishonest workman knows that an attempt to dispose of an unfin? ished stone would bring suspicion upon him wherever the attempt was made. According to Law. In one of the states an act was passed last year requiring heads of families to notify the health officer at once In case there was any contagious disease In the house. The following letter was recently received by a cer? tain officer: Dear Sir?This is to notify you that my boy Ephraim ls down with the measles, as required by tho new law. PETER ADAMS. She Knew.

J told the guides that it would U latter to begin supper right away iu order that we might not get too hun? gry before tho owl was done. I thought, them kIow lu their preparations foi j the meal, lt was curious, too. for I j had promised them they should have a J pleco of tlie bird. Del was generous. , He said he would give his to Charier, j that he never really cared much for j birds anyhow. Why, once, he said, he j shot a partridge and gave It away, and he was hungry too. Ile gave lt to a boy that happened along just then, and when another partridge flew up he didn't even offer to shoot lt. We didn't take much stock in that story until lt dawned upon us that he bad shot the bird out of season, and the boy had happened along Just in time ? to be Incriminated by accepting lt as a j present. It was better to have him as I partner than a witness. Wood was gathered then, and the ; fire blazed. The owl's breast?fat and fine lt looked?was In the broiler and on the fire. There lt cooked?and cook- . ed. Then it cooked some more and sent np an appetizing smell. Now and then I said I thought the time for It had come, but there was a burden of opinion that more cooking would bene- i flt the owl. Meantime we lind eaten a ' pau or two of trout and a few other things, the bird, of course, being later | In tlie bill of fare. At most dinners I j have attended this course ls contem- ! plated with Joy. It did not seem to be on this occasion. Eddie agreed with ! Del that he had never cared much for I bird anyway and urged me to take his share. I refused to deprive him of lt. ! Then he said he didn't feel well and thought he really ought not to eat any- j thing more. I said grimly that possi? bly this was true, but that ho would I eat the owl. It was served then, fairly divided i and distributed, as food Is when men j are on short rations. I took the first taste?I was always venturesome?a ! little one. Then Immediately I wished , I had accepted Eddie's piece. But J meantime he had tasted, too?a miserly | taste?and then I couldn't have got the rest of it for money. For there was never anything so good as that breast of young owl. It was tender, lt was Juicy, lt was as del? icately flavored as a partridge almost. Certainly lt was a dainty morsel to us, who had of late dealt so largely in Cslr dlet. Had we known where the rest j of that brood of owls had flown wc ' should have started after them then and there.?Albert Bigelow Paine in ? Outing Magazine. Not a Dead One. Tho hour was long past midnight, but the young girl had not yet retired. Moaning, wringing her hands, she walked the room distractedly. "Oh, father!" A stately, white haired figure in evening dress had entered. "Father, speak. Has Winterbottom Hance killed himself? I heard a com? motion without at midnight?a crack as of a revolver, a fall as of a heavy body. I refused Winterbottom early In the j evening, and as he staggered from the j room, despair writ large upon his pale brow, he swore wildly to take his own life." The old man's eye gleamed as with some secret Joy. "Refused him, did you?" he chuc? kled. "Refused Winterbottom, eh? Well, I'm glad you did. IIe"s just cleaned me out of $7 in a poker game at the club." ? New Orleans Times Democrat. _ A Grateful Crab. "Alfred Sommeriad, musical director of the Devonshire Park theater, East? bourne, and Edgar Bateman, the song writer, out fishing caught an edible crab," says nu English periodical. "They tossed lt back Into the water. At that moment an accidental kick sent the bait box after the crab. There was one fragment of bait adhering to the hook, and this was lowered into the sea, and the anglers left the rod for a time. When they returned they found their basket, which they had left e,mpty, full to overflowing with tine flounders, soles, rock, whiting and plaice. The explanation was soon forthcoming. Painfully making Its way up the fishing line came the crea? ture whose life had been spared bear? ing in Its nippers a fine young conger eel, which it placed with the other fish on the basket. Then lt dropped back Into the water. Apparently the grate? ful crab, knowing that he had caused the bait to be lost, had deposited fif? teen and one-half pounds of live fish lu the creel as a thank offering for Its life being spared."
