School Answers A teacher in one of our public schools gives a couple of examples which indicate the necessity for her being on the job. "What -is the equator?" she asked of little Peter Ford, whose knowledge of physical, geography was well known throughout the school. "The -equator Js a menagerie lion running around the earth," answered the lad, thereby establishing forever his claim to fame. "What boy will give me an ex ample of an imperative sentence?" inquired the teacher. ; ' ' "I Will," spolce up Matty New. "John,- throw1 ther horse over the fence some hay."

Wo know a spinster who thinks a husband is better late than never. An epicure says that a lot of di vorces come out of the frying pan. The henpecked husband should re joico that he Isn't a Mormon. A man must either make way for himself or get out of the way of others. This is a free country, but you should he ashamed to say some of the things you think. Chicago News.' GIVES ADVICE TO TBAOIIKRS "If you are partial to tho girl who comes to your school with moro ele gant dresses on, if you show moro interest and attention to tho daugh ter of tho banker, tho rich farmor or tho society leader, you had bettor got out of school work," advised Prof. C. H. Freeman, of Ohio Northern University, in an address in the city of Toledo to tho teachers. "Tho function of our public school is to help tho poorer children. They need tho education far worso than tho bettor favored children,"' contin ued tho speaker. American Federa tion of Labor News Letter.
