Mrs. Bender, a woman eighty eight years old of Columbus felt from her bed and her face struck the floor. The left side was bruised so badly that the eye is entirely closed by the swelling- and the flesh is bloodshot. Her age makes the mishap serious. Tommy Dooltttle of Highland.

In order to avoid any conSicK over j the law the Chicago school board has stopped all permits. This being the i case, it will be only a short rime iraace ; when no children will be employed in ; any cf the large down town stores. " Theodore J. Bint hard r, superintend- , ent cf compulsory education, refuses to allow children below the required age , even to wort durius the summer vacs- 1 tion months. At the same time Mrs. ; Marie Owens, special ofScer for the cn- ! fare em ens of the compulsory education, laws, began a thorough canvass of all the stores and factories where boys and girls are employed. She Informs every employer that no chSdrea without per mits from the board of edncation may be kept at work and that as soon as the date comes on which any child's permit expires 15 niuit ui; um.;i:::i fcu, cuius- , sion in the future teing withheld. It is i v estimated that at present there are only about 100 children under 14 in any cf the big stores, this being dne to the vig ilance of the officials of the board of education in the past daring the oper ation of the child hifeor ordinance which was enacted by th city council a few years ago. During1 the three months of summer vacation tliera have been many mare, greater leniency having b?en ex ercised in granting permits. This year, however, no child may work during va cation. According to Superintendent Biutfa- ardt, he should be given discretion in the matter of compelling children to go o school or work. This was given him under the municipal act. Hereafter he will have to see to it that ail chilcren attend schooL Under no circumstances will any store or factory be allowed to give work to anv child. This Air. Bluth- ardt considers too radical a regulation. He says that under the act of che state legislature children must be T4 years old or must roar alt summer. Alany, he believes, would he benefited by having an opportunity to pnt in their time at fe occupation, and in doing some labor would also earn a few dollars to hdp p. rpvigrp -nn pmvwnnrt in theIaw that.! keeps the hoard of education from issu ing in? permits as usual, for these sim- i ply give a child the right to stay away from school ior a given time. The em ployer would incur the whole risk of coming into conflict with the law when he puts the child to work. But the com pulsory education department decs not wish to be involved in any trouble if a test case is brought after the law has gone into enecc xnereiore it nas de cided to refuse aermits in luture. "The state legislature has decided that- alI ctiicrea cot yet 1-4 years old must loaf when there is no school, " said Superintendent Bluthardt. "The J, , ' iS5 na r cse( t0 Q xner the city ordinance, v hich gave me some discretion in the case, allowing tne noaru or eaucaoen to judge in individual cases. The iabor organizations of she city succeeded in obtaining the passage of the measure on the ground that child labor was injuri ous to their interests. Nevertheless la boring men come to my omce every day and ask for permits to have their chil dren work. I don's wish to be mixed up any suit under the law, and so I will issue no permission to anybody.

Lawyers, doctors and. preachers boast of their professions, and that is riht but let let us laud the life of a farmer. What an alert mind, is J needed to understand the different soils and the treatment required to make them do their best. The rotation of crops is a study on which success often depends. Think of the varied climates and their larg-e rasge of useful produc tions; think of the weeds and the insects whose purpose for all things have a purpose are still uh known: and think of the farm er's partnership with nature and be proud that it is your destiny to be a fanner. The best of men have been farmers. The first man was a farmer when doctors and lawyers were not needed. The patriarchs had the care of cattle: David was a bbepberd: Sotomoc planted gardens aad vineyards. Virgil and Horace, Washington, Jefferson and many others found their chief pleasure on a farm. Farmers founded our nation and enriched her domains. Their hands have nolifted her in ever crises and their blood has Sowed into the soil they loved so well. They were trne coBntrysien. The people sear Aaderson. lad., had a novel Fourth of July cele bration. A company was driffiag" for oil and got a strong Sow- of gus and bet little oil. when a stranger strolled up to the well with alighted cigar. There was a Sash, and the next moment the gas was ignited. The derrick seemed to melt away, and the 51.400 kit of tools was made worthless in a few seconds. The names sfeot forty feet into the air and the roar couM be heard for miles. There was no valve on the well and there is no way to shut it o- At last report it was, still bucn- sag-.

Johnson, in his weekly letter from Lincoln. It comes from the sales aad leases of the state school lands. For three or Sosr years past the board of peblic kinds has been lenient with, the leases of school lands and in many cases payments ran behind- In Septem ber of last year when it became evi dent that there was. to be a g4d crop, the board directed Land missioner Russell to notify all per sons in arrears to pay up. Notices were accodingiy sent oat aad tie money on these over dee payseas commenced coming- in. By Jiaaw ary 1 the amount for sestft-aaaaal distribution was greater than sev eral prerioas distributions. Now comes an exhibition ot the gall ad the sham pretenses of sfeam. tefora officials. They send oet to the populist press and print under big headlines a Sou rishisfeins" adver tisement of this Haeeally large distribution of the school saoaey to show the efficiency of popelist gw-t- mm? vet not oae dollar this was collected by populists, hmt by republican oScials and tred iuto the state treasury by republi can oScials.
