The Sisters of St. Francis have

A Polander named Kozy was
taken up Friday on a charge of de
stroying property and sent to jail; in
default of $500 bail, to answer to the
District Court. The particular
offense was daubing vile dirt upon a
lady's dress. Strange to say, it was
the twelfth offense of the kind, he
usually selecting fine dresses, and
escaping recognition in the darkness.
His Polish neighbors say he is not
crazy, but the nature of the offense
and the man's look leads us to believe
in his unsoundness of mind.
The operetta by Mrs. Page's forty

tbe entertainment of the audience by
music from Misses Mary Turner,
Helen Stockdel, Kittie Cowdery,
Stella North, Mrs. J. M. McFarland
and Mrs. C. D. Evans, and a recita
tion by May North. This makes an
excellent program, acceptable to even
a Columbus audience, which is be
come somewhat critical in such mat
ters. There are all kinds of sharpers
going over the country seeking a
smooth living from the general pub
lic which sweats for its daily bread.
From tbe knife and cane men, who
give you some chance, by skill, to get
back a portion of your money, to the
lightning-rod man, and the fence-post
man, who gives you nothing in ex
change for your valuable uote, they
are all of tbe sleek order of emarteys,
and ought to be given the "grand
bouuee", human parasites, they not
only hope to live, but they do live by
sucking the blood of their victims;
msteau of being pampered, they
ought to be thinned out. Vagrants,
dead-beats, cheats, swindlers, confi
dence meu of all kinds should be
treated as vermin.

As there are "fast" men and
women, so there are "fast schools."
Schools which by some "new de
parture" claim to have risen above
the necessities imposed upon or
dinary men aud schools by the ele-
meut of time.
It was but a short timo ago that I
received a catalogue from an insti
tution iu a neighboring state, claiming
that the facnlty by some process (uot
stated, 1 suppose fino teaching,
though) could take a student through
four years work in one. Now, I
wish to say, emphatically, that I
dou't believe a word of it.
Plato surely was right when he
said "there is no royal road to
geometry," and these schools which
claim to lead pnpils easily along up
the most difficult kind ot a grade, and
iu such a short space of tine e, taking
them straight to the highest point in
the hill of education, aro "humbug."
I do not believe that a limit can
be applied to time in obtaining an
education, and those who attempt to
deceive the public miud with such
advertising injure the cause of ed u
catiou aud deserve the severest con
sure. I am a firm baliovec in gouuine
progress, but do uot believe that,
with all our modern improvrituoQU,
we have reachod, or ever will reach
a period when an education that is
worth the name, can be acquired
without ample time and hard work.
