The pow der for a charge costs about $80 and the projectile Sf > 2f ) ; the wear and tear on the gun aver ages nearly as much more , so that every shot from one of these modern cannons costs nearly $1,000. Speaking on this line. Success says ; > ( It costs more for the mere materal to fire one shot from the gun at Sandy Hook than it did to edu cate Daniel Webster. A clay's gun practice of a single ship , i firing at imaginary enemies , ] cosis more than it did to educate Emerson , Longfellow , Lowell and Phillips in Harvard college. "The amount now spent for education in the United States is about $200,000,000 a year. From the present indications i the annual appropriation for j the navy alone will soon very 'largely exceed this sum , with prospects of indefinite expan- sion. " The latest type of battleship costs about $8,000,000 to build and about $1.500,000 a year to maintain , considering that in 20 years it will be ob- solete. In other words to main- tain a single such engine of war costs constantly as much as the total expenses of educating 3,000 young men or women or the entire school expenses of 50,000 children. The Pathfind- er. ! Shubert Reading Circle Meets. The teachers of Shubert and vicinity met Saturday afternoon Oct. 7th and began their Read ing Circle work. The meeting was called to order by Principal MacDonald. H a 11 o t i n g for President and Secretary result ed in the election of Principal Geo. Mac Donald as leader and Mr. Will Leslie , a teacher iu Nemalia County , as Secretary. It was decided to study the Louisiana Purchase and White's Elements of Pedagogy. Seven teachers were present. Ninth and tenth grade pupils will en roll at the next meeting. Teach ers in this vicinity are earnest ly invited to meet with us. It was decided to meet every two week s A Boy That Won. A boy called on a grouchy old man and ask for a job. "No"snapped out the man. "Yes,1 cheerly replied the boy. "That back yard of yours is frightful. I'll clean it up for a quarter. " "I'll give you fifty cent , " and he did. lie kept on cleaning up in and out of the place , and then fixed up the p.aces the old man rent ed , and he looked after larger interests. In ten years the grouch } ' old man was getting vastly rich , and was paying the back-yard cleaner , $20,000 a year to help him. Monthly Reports ) The Compulsory Attendance' Law requires teachers to make monthly reports to the County Superintendent. The reports should be made promptly at the end of the month. A few teach ers i-eeiningly do not understand how to make out the report. The last column headed "Days yet to attend this year" means days yet to attend this year in' order to attend two-thirds of the 1 time school was voted for this year. For example , in District No. 2 , the voters at the annual meeting voted to have seven months of school during this year. The law requires each pupil in that district bet veen seven and 111 teen yearofag to . attend school two thirds of seven months or ninety-four days. Olga lloledieck enrolled , the first day of school , during . the month she missed five days ] i Now at the end of the month this ' pupil has been enrolled this year twenty days , she attended this monih fifteen days , was was absent this month five days attended this year fifteen days and "Days yet to attend this year" would be seventy nine. Dist. No. 10 , Bea Riley , teacher. Total enrollment eleven. Only four are new pu pils. Our summer vacation scascely caused a break in the work. We have two beginners and I am leaching them reading according to the Ward Method. They are doing very nicely. I think we shall have two eighth grade graduates this year. The school house and grounds have been repaired and we have a number of new books. Remember the next meeting of the Richardson County Asso ciation will be held in Falls City Friday evening and Saturday November 10 and 11 , the follow , ing is taken from Rules and Regulations adopted by Richardson - ardson County School Boards Association August 7 and it ap plies to all districts. "Rule 10 Teachers must at tend the meetings of the Rich ardson County Teacher's Asso ciation , unless it is absolutely impossible to do so and they are hereby given permission to dis miss school Friday afternoon if necessary , in order to attend , and they shall not be required to make up this half day. District No. 20 , ,1. K. Young , teacher. Our enrollment is fifty four. The interest is good. Before school began the board cleaned the well , painted the blackboard and scrubbed the floor. Quarterly test questions , quarterly report blanks , pro grams for the next meeting of the Richardson County Teach er's Association , and rules gov erning issuance of county certi ficates under the new law , have been sent to each teacher this week' Those who have not re ceived them should notify the county superintendent.

The Shubert Citizen says ; The early risers in our city on coming down last Sunday morning - ing , discovered that , during the night previous , burglars had [ ' entered the Hill drugstore , and l ' from the scattering they left on ! i the floor , had carried off half its contents. j A further examination of the situation revealed another fact , 'tind , that was that Shubert's sa loon had. also , been entered and some of the merchandise there in approprioted to the burglar's own use. i Both Messrs Hill and Shubert were immediately notified of the burglary , and hurried to their places of business to in vestigate the situation , i The entrance to the drug store had been effected by break ing of a pane of glass in a front window , and at thi- saloon an entrance had been effected by the rear window. From the drug htore the burg lar took a cigar box full of the bnst and most costly Jewelry .that Mr. Hill had on his trays , a plug of tobacco. 100 cigars , and his prescription scales. At the saloon he helped himsell lethe the goods on the lunch counter , pre-umably , to a glass or two of jeer and carried away with him a box of ten cent cigars. At both places the money till. ' were broken open , but they con tained nothing that would pay the marauder for the breaking. Suspicion was aroused as to the personality of the guilty party , and parties were sent out in search of him , but up to date , he has not been appre liended. Sundax morning , however some boys found all of Mr. Hills goods , except the cigars linl un der the chaff pile at the eleva tor , and returned them to the owner , but the chances are that Mr. Shubert will never see hih goods again. So far ase know now , no effort is being made to locate the bold burglar , or to bring him , or them , to justice. Could Not be Ilcllur.

When we do not see a thing an another sees it tire we not too prone to insist that the other fel low in a liar ? Most business men proceed on the theory Hint the beat way to re gulate IniHtH in to get into one and reform it from the inside. Bishop Bonauuin IIIIH begun an other suit against Father Murphy probably for the purpose of convincing - vincing him of eternal punish ment. So long IIH the Norwegians are going abroad for a king why not come to America and get the best to be had ? Why wouldn't Sena tor Knuto Nelson or Governor Johnson of Minnesota make a good ono ? An alliance with the United States would be a good thing to boot. The honest insurance companies ought not to Buffer. Indeed it looks as if now is the time for them to thrive. The honest com pany is conspicuous , if it is once proven. ( Youic TIMIS. : ) Some republicans are always trying to otitpop the pops. If your health is oed you will enjoy your daily tasks. Now wh'Uhave ' you got to kick about ? Every fair minded person ie willing to yivo the ducks a chance once in a while. The man who docs right takes no chances. Ho will always be popular and happy. Some men support the right from principle ) and Homo from policy. Both are wise. It is a little inconvenience to bo poor but not half au unpleasant ns being in the pcnitcntniry. There never was a perfect wo man in the world and only ono perfect man. That's the record the rnco has made up to and in cluding the present writing. The meanest man in the world to do business with in the i nor- amons who tolls his business to every one in the community and asks their advice about it. (1'Aiunuitv ( NMWK ) It takes a loiitf time for a man to ascend the ladder of fame , but in a moment he comes down with a t-ickeniiig thud , and that's the , end of it. They are sentencing jointists every day down in Kansas , but the supply is si ill cqinl to the de- demand. It Pat Crowe had only leinaiii- ed in Omaha it tiii ht never have' i happened.

Half the people you see are sorry the } ' missed an education because they did not get the mental windows open wide enough to see what they missed "having eyes ih y see not" the wonderful thing * all about them which are of great beauty and utility to those who can s < e. Hut you will likely regiet it if you fail to work up to your opportunity it is glorious to work and the joy of learning it self compensates for all the toil to say nothing nf the ad van tages. It wii : Such said by a teacher , "That tut exui'lli'iiee wltli out. ; ri'ut ought to be written over every school house door in all the country. It is possible for you to "pass" through school without , ' Making ul1 the edj-ebcitt" as the sickle man would say.

Don't forget the free lunch at the Derby every day. Men and Mice. Mice arc miicli like men. In warm wt'iilher both enjoy living in Ilio op'.Mi , communing with nature. Hut when froal comes both skedaddle for cover , the mice going into the IHHIBO with the inon. And when night comofl the mice gnaw and gnnw and the men , startled from their Bleep , swour and Hwenr. It IB n Horc trial to have mice gnawing in 'tho night BO you cnn't fljoop. .There is something greweomo about it. If a man have the couragu to get up and llmiHh around about where ho locates the UOJBO , he enn stop it for it bit but just when he iu iil)6nt to forget hiniBclf in sleep ngnin the mouse overcomes its fear mid begins its Kimwing once more. Thin enforced wnkeful- neHH , this 'Ions ot sleep , is the foundation of ill temper and ill temper bcgvtH a do ire In drown it in drink. Poisoned wheat or bread or cheese may be scattered to kill the pests but they learn to avoid all such dangers and do no until the children eat these exterminators - terminators and the undertaker is called. And if a eat is kept it is likely to prove worse than the mice. It will preempt the dinner table , serateh the baby and "suck its breath , " they say , and make a muss ever and anon. And so there is here a problem. It is an old saying that "ono must bu eith er a man or a mouse , " but iu cer tain phratieu of life the two are not very far apart. Fremont Tri bune. . Press Notes. If there is anything prettier than a fall morning with its multi colored leaven , we have never seen it. Verdon Vedette. In these days of gossip , a good molti to keep in mind is the fol lowing ; "Believe nothing you hear and about half you see ; say noth ing of either. " You will hereby save yourself the reputation of be ing a gossip and also save many innocent people n heap of trouble. Robinson , Kansas Index.

The noys from the farms increase the competition iu the labor mar kets of the large industrial cen ters.

Mr. Veils was arrested on purely circutustantial evidence , and his innocence was established beyond any possible shadow of a doubt.
