Ireland Is now competing with Den

Bricks are used, as a rule, neur the

In Rppearanee, as in race, and one who

fuishes them. Most of them arc short

The surprising thing about Uncle
Sam's big land lottery was the numbrr
of women who drew farms. There
wore hundreds of them, and many
wore far enough up In the list of suc
cessful ones to be sure of line proper
ties. As It Is not possible to soil the
farms, at least for a time, and as tho
land law makes It Incumbent on tho
now owners to occupy and till their
farms, there will bo a largo addition
to the colony of successful women
farmers of the West. Why not? Thorn
has booji a lot of talk about "wom
an's work," and the history of the past
few years has shown uiat any kind
of respectable employment Is "wom
an's work." There are thousands of
women farmers In the West. They are
not unsexed, and hard work has not
degraded them. You can llnd them
from Missouri to the Uoekic-. Some
of them are raising sheep and othcr-i
cattle. Near tho big cities they have
their truck farms, and If you could
look at the books of some of tho
Western banks you would be surpr'sod
at the balance carried by and earned
by women. Farming is no longer a
matter of muscle and endurance alone,
it Is a trade, a profession, and science
Is playing Its part In making It suc
cessful. 'Hie woman who uses hoi
brains hires men to do the back
breaking work. She Is often a bos,
and a good one. She has shown that
she can make a farm pay. Th 'so
women of the new reservation will not
have the worst farms In the allotment
when the crops hnve had time to make
a showing, and It Is certain that they
will do their part In adding to the
wealth of tho country. Perhaps their
success will tempt other women to
leave the Holds of endeavor, that are
overcrowded, and try life close to the
soil.
A plain, direct dotlnltlon of educa
tion without any fads warping it Is al
most as rate as education itself with
tut anv attachments of frills and fea til
ers. Tho great importance of being
grounded thoroughly in the liidlspens.i
bio rtidlmcnt.s of an English education
was very clearly and forcibly set forth
at the forty-tsecond anniversary con
vention of the State of New York by
Whllelaw Held, chancellor of the uni
versity and proprietor of the New
fork Tribune. He said In his address:
"First, then, we must Insist that tho
onimon schools really teach, with a
thoroughness not yet so generally at
tained as Is needful, the three things
that mako the common basis for all
subsequent work. Their pupils should
learn, learn till they really know how
to read, write and clixher. Until you
make absolutely sure of that, let us
have fewer frills. You have not taught
writing till you have made It at least
'lecurate, automatic and ns unconscious
as breathing. Again, Just as nothing
can take the place of an absolute readi
ness In thus reading and writing the
English language, so nothing can take
the place of an absolute mastery of the
multiplication table. The boy or girl
to whom you do not give that In child
hood, together with the common things
It stands for, you are turning out Into
the world a cripple for life. If he can
not add and subtract, multiply and di
vide with the readiness and precision
of a machine, if his work Is not In
stinctive and Instinctively right, he
will limp every step In his whole sub
sequent career." Probably as possible
detlnltlon of what Is meant by educa
tion Is such a system of Instruction as
will enable one to read with under
standing, to think with clearness, to
reason with correctness and to net with
Intelligence. No one can be said to
possess such nn education who has not
boon properly grounded In all tho
fundamental elements. So largely are
these essentials neglected Unit there
are college graduates who are shame
fully detlclent In orthography, who can
not road aloud Intelligently half a page
of English print, and who are so Ig
norant of the ordinary rules of punc
tuation that they do not know what
some of the points are made for. Tho
higher colleges and the technical
schools may do much toward one's suc
cess, but the common schools, whero
the fundamentals mxu rightly taught, do
far more. By the way, many of tho
best men In all professions and trades
come from the couutry crossroads
schools, where little Is taught beyond
the simple essentials. With this foun
dntlon a mnn may make almost any
thing he chooses of himself; without
them all the colleges and technical
schools In the world cannot engraft tho
elements of success upon hlin.

caro of a physician for threo mouths,
but ho did not succeed in curing nio.

It will be seen that in 1SS0. whllo

while almost -11 per cent were engaged

NIGHT DUEL IN LINCOLN PARK.

HIkH Tragedy for Citizens.
It sounded like a drees rehearsal of
the battle of Snn Juan Hill. First the
tiring was in volleys, but a few sec
onds later both sides held their am
munition in reserve, lwlieving that
with a little shnrpshootlng tho other
man would be captured. Just beforo
the first shot rang out the clocks in
the residences adjneent to Llneoln
Park struck 2.
When the crack of revolvers was
heard faces were pressed against second-story
windows. One aroused citi
zen telephoned for the police, while
others barricaded themselves to await
an explanation.
Those of the more daring wlio ven
tured to peep out of the windows could
discern two figures a few feet Inside
the park. Both were lying down bo
hind convenient elm trees. Occasion
ally one or the other would lire a shot
Instantly It was answered In kind.
For ten minutes this revolver duel last
ed, and none who witnessed it could
discern the cause.
With a clang the Larrabee street
station patrol wagon turned Into North
Clark street on the run. As it cleared
the corner a shot rang out that indi
cated more clearly the scene of tho
fight.
The driver pnlled up at the curb.
Six policemen in uniform scrambled

them without firing a otiot. They

other was a belated express messenger.

The latter, with the aid of tho tele
phone and papers on his person, iden

to carry a revolver. The affair was
