Come. A troop of thirteen ladies and gentlemen known as the Cooper's Orchestra from Grinnell, Iowa have been secured by Mr. Glen E. Hunt and J. K. Vands Brake for an evening's entertainment on Friday, une 10th, 1011. They are all good musicians and come highly recommended by our Exira boys and girls that are attending College at Grinnell. The Iv. of P. Hall not being well enough ventilated and the acoustic facilities not being as well as they are desired, they have secured the use of the New Christian Church for that evening. The seats are platted so as to give plenty of room and not crowd the people in the least. The ventilation will be of the very best and special pains will be taken to make everybody enjoy the evening to the utmost. The seats will lie on sale at F. H. Cotton's Store on Weduesday June 14th. AUDAS--WENIG Postmaster At Gray Married Fine Young Lady. Congenial to Relatives And Friends Alike. Mr. Elmer Audas and Alma Wenig were married in Audubon last Wednesday. Elmer was born, educated and raised in Gray and from his youth has been a model young man, industrious and a close student. He iB a druggist and the Postmaster of Gray. His correct training will be useful to him all his life. His home with the lady of his choice, we believe will be one of the happiest earth for Elmer has no bad habits. With Miss Wenig we have 011 110 ac­ quaintance but from the fact that the lady is the choice of this young man is guarantee enough for us that she is a lady of culture, rolluement and accom plislunents. The Journal extends congratulations to these young people and trust their days will be many and extremely happy onss. CELEBRATION At Kimballton And Elkhora. The Celebration Spirit Took Possession Of Young And Old Alike. Election and the Celebration made things lively in Elk Horn and Kimbaliton last Monday. In fact, the celebration eclipsed the election but the boys went through the form nevertheless and cast a proportionate vote of the district. This was theanniversary of the promulgation of the Danish Constitution or as they call it "grundlov" which occurs always on June 5th. They prize their constitution as America appreciates her Independence and both manifest their pleasure on the Birthday of their Freedom. American Independence dates from July 4, 1776, th® Danish Constitution was signed June 5,1849. America numbers nearly 100,000,000 people, Denmark numbers a little over 2,000,000. Denmark now leads the world in dairying and ths product of that little country can be found in all parts of the world. LECTURE COURSE John VandeBrake Contracted For Lecture Course Of Four Numbers To Entertain You Next Winter. Support Him. Through the kindness of John VandeBrake of the Exchange Bank, Extra 1b again assured of a lecture Course for next winter. Having canvassed the town and finding the sentiment, Mr. VandeBrake concluded that enough support would be forth coming to pay the course through or nearly so. John figured that rather than not have anything going on in town this winter he would run the risk personally and make it up should there be a diecrepency. Mr. Vandebr&ke has contracted for a course every way worthy of your support and patronage, and we trust that his liberality will not be allowed to suffer at your hands. JACK HENSLEY JR. An Exira Boy Improving Opportuni ties, Graduating From washington University With Honors We acknowledge the receipt of an announcement of the graduating ex ercises of the Seattle Washington University and in the class we find the name of our young friend, Jack Hensle, formerly of Exira and who moved-to the Pacific Coast with his parents some three years and a half ago. It will be remembered that Jack was one of ths graduates (to be) of the Exira High Bohool Class of 1908 and through the difference of opinion of Jack and the graduation management as to the arrangements, Jack refused to take his place in the exercises. For not complying with the requirements of the management the School Board refused to issue a diploma. This act of Jack's has cost him two years or more review in the Seattle Washington Diversity. His review of studies and further research has fitted him for the higher aims of life and if we don't err his aims will be lofty ones. Jack's Exira's friends, where he spent his boyhood and school days all wish him success and the Journal force sends its greetings and are pleased to hear of his accomplishments. A Close Call While Senator Andrews was in specting his fine young orchard in West Exira on one of those very hot days the fore part of the week, he realized that something was going wrong in bis bead and things began to look green. He hurried to a shade tree and reports that he was very near sun-stricken. Home Again The many friends of Mrs. Belle Lancelot-Wilson will be pleased to learn of her return to her home after an absence of three weeks in Iowa City Hospital. A Picnic The Exira High School under the ohaperonage of Miss Langwith en joyed a grand picnic and all its per quisites last Friday down in the Hallock grove near Oakfield wind ingupthe day's pleasures with a grand parade through the town of Exira enlivened by their favorite High School yells. •••'•-. v. 'iM:' ^:0'^ .Jf i^V1 'j W. J. Lancelot, Editor W. H. Lancelot, Publisher EXIRA, IOWA, THURSDAY, JUNE 8, 1911. $1.00 PER YEAR THE HEW ROAD The Boosters Are Active. There's Nothing Too Good for Our People Exira Is On The Rap. A few of the Boosters took a spin over to Walnut Wednesday to critically examine the road between this point, and that city, so as to know to a certainty whether to send our heavy travel that comes in over the River to River Road on their journey via Atlantic or direct to Walnut, saving the tourist, if by Walnut, some fifteen miles of travel. We learn, the gentlemen who made the trip were agreeably surprised at the lay of the land, and the fine condition of the road, between this city and Walnut. With the exception of a few spots which are easily fixed this road will be as good as the three R's via Atlantic. The picturesque scenery passed through between these two points is the grandest in all Iowa. In fact we don't know what we have missed by not making this portion of the road a part of the River to River Road before. Not only the natural scenery but farms with their living crops, cattle, horses and sheep. Large houses and large barns with all their equipments, and all settled by the thrifty and social Dane with no fighting at Walnut to destroy the pleasure of the trip, all adds to praise of Iowa as one of the best States in the Union, and to the River to River Road as the great Mid-Ocean route across the Continent. GRADUATION Commencement Exercises Very Successful. Skillfully Arranged. Closing A Profitable School Year. All Worked In Harmony. Last Thursday evening June 1,'11, was one long to be remembered by the good people of Exira. At an early honr the people began to gather at the Christian Church to listen to the exercises prepared for their special entertainment. Rev. John Harned of the M. £. Church opened the exercises by prayer, followed by a Class March "Toreador" by Bizet by Miss Bessie Wltthauer. The graduating class marching in to the music were Ethel I. Bisom, Frank H. Hall, Deana E. Hensley, Flora B. Houston, Ellowene Dimick, Winnie I. Heath, Ora B. Hicks, Clara G. Powell, Mur iel M. Koob. After the Invocation by Rev. Harned, a song 'Sweet Twilight Hour" by Geibel was rendered by the Class Trio, Ethel Bisom, Ellewene Dimick and Seana Hensley. This song brought forth much applause, and paved the way for a fine oration entitled."Grapes of Gold" by Mr. H. V. Adams of the Chautauqua Manager's Association of Chicago. The speaker Indulged in a rather laughable introduction by taking a small vial from his pocket and sprinkling soma of its contents over the front part of the stage said be bad found that by sprinkling a little peppermint over the floor betore delivering a discourse its aroma would impregnate the air and cause it to be more healthy. After a few seconds he said if anyone smelled it raise your band. A hand shot up which was soon followed by others, when nearly the whole crowd smelled that peppermint The speaker then drifted into, and delivered one of the finest lectures ever heard here which held the crowds attention for sometime. At its close he spoke of the effects of imagination over the body and then closed by saying the peppermint scattered over the floor was only in imagination and the laugh was on. Another song by the same ladies "Row Us Swiftly" was well received by the appreciative audience. The Presentation of Diplomas was conducted by the Prince of Iowa Superintendents Prof. J. Lafferty Harper, who applied a gilt etching while banding them to the recipients. Benediction by Rev. S. M. Smith closed the exercises for one of the best year's nervices ever held In the Exira schools. The School Board and teachers are all entitled to the highest praise of pupils and patrons. Moves To Harlan E.J. Hansen informs us be has rented his residence to E. A. Rethmeier and will move to Harlan in about a week where be has been offered big inducements to open up his Rocking Horse Bicycle Factory He haB already engaged a foreman and a workman and will commence work as soon as he becomes located. j',^ \. 1-, To THE PATRONS OF THE ExiRA, IOWA, POST OFFICE: STEALING A MARCH On The Doctor Is Perhaps Not Applicable In This Case But Is So Near. Not many years ago there came to an adjoining town a young doctor just from College. He sought to build up a practice among the strangers of the community in which he resided. From the first he was successful and received many professional calls which he answered with becoming promptness. An auto soon became a necessary adjunct to his growing business and he was seen going&nd coming at all hours of the day and night. It was not long however before the acquaintance of a beautiful young lady was formed and after a few auto rides together her prior beau was discharged and the doctor became solid. A better field for practice in an adjoining town soon presented itself, so our young friend, the doctor, answered the call and relocated there. The auto runs, to and fro from the new location were quite frequent at first but soon became less so when behold a new artist appeared in the town and captivated the heart of the doctor's amoretta and then the auto rides became less frequent and finally ceased altogether. The young Photographer is solid now in the affections of that young damsel and both are pleased, one with the other's society. I am an applicant for the position of Post Master of the above office following the resignation of Mr. Powell. ., [y I believe that my former experience of several years in this work has fitted me to satisfactorily take care of tHe patrons and the duties of the office. My entire career has been spent in newspaper work and other toils which would tend to increase my qualifications for this position and aid me in carrying out it's duties. My petition contains the names of several hundred farmers and business men of this community. The appointee will be the man whom the people desire to have serve them and I therefore will appreciate any assistance that is tendered me. I have no "sidelines" to occupy my attention and in case I am honored with the appointment my entire time will be devoted to the duties of the office and you may feell assured that you will receive the same courtesy and promptness that has marked my work in the past. Again thanking my friends for all they may be able to do in my behalf, I am respectfully, The artist is nevertheless a thief for he "stole a march" on the doctor. Bunch Butcher's Beef The finest bunch of butcher's stuff that ever decorated the huoks of a butcher's shop was brought in from the farm of Win. Ridgley yesterday. Mr. Henry Kroeger, our up to date butcher purchased 21 head of one year old heifers of Mr. Ridgley that are well fattened. Mr. Kroeger intends to put them on the block aB fast as they are needed. His patrons are assured of an excellent article of beef as long as they last and Walter Hockenberry will slice or chunk it as you may desire. &<*,*£ 'MWCT.-'. ~JT4,r -v,T -A $ -a\ ,J '44 ^-ife'i .. •V *^1 vS 'trf sr., J\JA —*-r-» t*£T «v*' -V GEORGE S. GUERNSEY GEORGE COSSON The Most Logical Man In Ninth Congressional District For Judge Green's Vacancy Is Geo.Cosson Attorney General George Cosson is the most logical man to fill the position made vacant by the election of Judge W. R. Green to Congress from this District. He has risen through all the gradations of life, private and official, to the important office of Attorney General of the State of Iowa. While teaching school he yearned for a higher education and when he had acquired it he turned his attentiou to the law. The deeper he delved into the pages of legal lors ths more satisfied he became. His oases were always well prepared beoause of his deep research and this made hint popular with Judge and Jury. His success before the Courts brought him into prominence as a Barrister and eventually landing him int his present positiou. WEDDING BELLS Two Hearts That Beat As One. Two '"Souls Unite To Take Up The Battle Of Life. We learn of the nuptials of Luther Hensley and Muriel Koob who hied away to Des Moines and entered the blissful state of matrimony. Miss Koob is the daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Koob of Brayton, a well known school girl and a graduate of the Class of 1911. Last Thursday she received her diploma from the Exira High School and Tuesday she received a certificate of marriage from a Des Moines magistrate or minister (we are not yet informed which) nor are we informed as to their future plans. Miss Muriel is one of the finest ladies this County affords She was born, reared and educated in Audubon County by a respectable parentage. Mr. Hensley is the son of Mr. and Mrs. John I. Ileusley ot this city and a young man of sterling quality and is possessed of the usual amo nt of Henslsy hustle. The Journal extends congratulations*. A e-**\ 1- W W -V, J,s?

TEDDY'S TRAMP Teddy disconsolately munched a eoda cracker, wondering the while how ehe had ever come to Insist that a «amp stove was a useless luxury. It iwas her first season in camp, and her brothers had readily enough given In to her demand for ati absolutely correct atmosphere. They had camped In tents on the little lake instead of in ithe comfortable wooden shack on (Lower lake, and they had cooked in •primitive fashion over an open fire. The boys had done the cooking since they had gone into camp three •weeks before, but it had all seemed so easy that when they wanted to go down the lake to the village she had insisted that it would be no trouble at all to get' her meals. They had paddled away just as the sun began to tinge the clouds in the east and would not be back before night. Twice Teddy had spilled the bacon into the fire, and as a crowning accident she had set the coffee pot wrong, and that, too, was sliding into the flames, putting out what little fire there was left. A crashing in the underbrush roused her and she sprang to her feet, nervously handling the revolver the boys had left with her for protection. She raised the glistening weapon as a man burst through the tangle of brush and with a voice that she tried to make stern commanded him to hold up his bands. They went above his head in an In,*tant and stayed there while he parleyed. Teddy knew that the next thing was to bind her victim, but how 'to do that and retain the revolver was something that was not told in books. He smiled at her look of helplessness and came a few steps forward. "I am not a tramp or a robber," he said, with a flash of white teeth beneath his mustache. "I saw a fire a .while back and thought that perhaps I might beg some breakfast. I wandered further from our camp than I Intended. I am on the other side of the ridge on Blue lake." "Thtere isn't any breakfast," she said, forlornly. "I spilled the bacon Into the fire and then the coffee pot fell in. I was eating these." She .waved her revolver toward the box of crackers, and the tramp smiled. "If you will take my parole," he suggested, "I'll earn my breakfast. I believe that is the proper thing for a tramp to do." Teddy lowered her gun. He probably was a tramp, but he had nice eyes and a pleasant smile, and she felt that she could trust him. "If you will set the table," he called, Til have things ready in a jiffy." For a moment Teddy paused. She did not quite like the idea of eating at the same table with a tramp, and she felt that he must be a tramp. None of the campers she knew wore such outrageous garments. But the smell of coffee and the frying fish decided her, so she set two plates. Skilfully he dished up the fish and took the coffee from the fire. He was even more expert than the boys. Probably that was because he had to camp out the year around. The breakfast put her in an excellent humor and when the tramp suggested that if she would lend him a gun he would try and get something foi1 dinner, she loaned him a shotgun without a thought until he had left the camp. Then the realization of what Bob would say should he come home and find the rifle gone, led her to follow the trail the tramp had taken. She soon overtook him and he looked up with a smile at her approach. "Come to share the fun?" he asked pleasantly. Her blush told its own story and he threw his head back and laughed. "I was going to bring the gun back," he declared. "Do you really think I am a tramp?" "No," her voice lacked conviction. "But, you see, you are not like the boys." "Possibly they would be like me," he suggested, "if they were in camp without ladies. Khaki and leggings are all very pretty, but there is more comfort in an old suit that won't be hurt if you do take a notion to wade a trout stream before breakfast." This was plausible enough, but Teddy reflected that plausibility was the stock in trade of tramps and she was not convinced. After dinner he entertained her with stbries oft the woods and neither real lzed how late it had grown until a boat shot around the point and the boys waved a welcome. They swarmed up the beach a few moments later, and Teddy stared as they warmly greeted the tramp. "I didn't know that you knew Mr. Charteris," said Bob in surprise. "He came for breakfast," explained Teddy. "And having had the breakfast, stayed to get the dinner," Chartert added with a laugh. "You see I was out early this morning and got too far away from camp to make It for breakfast. Then I saw this fire and came over." "Hope you'll come over often," said Bob heartily. He liked the young railroad magnate. "Thank you," said Charteris, seeing a second invitation in Teddy's brown eyes. I think I shall be over very often—if Miss Trevor does not mind such trampish fellows hanging about the camp." "I rather like tramps," said Teddy demurely, "especially before breakIfast." So Charteris came again.

FINANCIAL GENIUS. "Do you think there is any each thing as financial genius?" "I am sure there Is. I know a young man who has It In a marked degrees. After he had persuaded the beautiful daughter of one of our most prominent jewelers to become his wife he went around and Induced the old man to let him have an engagement ring at the cost price." "I don't see any Indication of remarkable financial genius about that." "Wait. When he and the girl broke their engagement he took the ring back to her father and got him to pay eight per cent, interest on the money that had been invested." HIS IDEA. JiAiceR. j- Smlthson—I couldn't get along with two office boys. Jackson—Ain't enough work, eh? Smlthson—Not that, but they'd leach be afraid getting here in the morning before the other.

Then there was a timid, faltering question, a soft voiced answer, and the status was changed. Can You Beat It? He—So the engagement is off and Maud and Jack don't speak to each other. What caused the quarrel? She—'Twas the silliest thing. They were talking about theirs being a case of love at first sight, and then got Into a fierce dispute as to which had seen the other first.

"You are the star of my dreams!" cried the foolish young millionaire to the astute young actress. "And you," replied she, fondly, "are the angel of my hopes." Some Comfort. "What Is Loungeby's Idea of heaven?" "Eternity in a Morris chair, with an everlasting place to put his feet." I Her BirthdayJ At the age of sixteen, Miss Alleen Dustan was presented with a chicken. It was In a way a birthday present. She wanted something alive—something she could pet and call her very own. The pet was reared In the lap of luxury, the kitchen, the halls and several other places. In time he developed a crow, and in a short time he became a rooster. At the age of nineteen Miss Alleen became Interested in the question of vivisection. She looked upon the practloe on birds and beasts as something horrible. She read and talked and protested until she had terrible dreams. She dreamed of seeing barearmed surgeons cutting the throat of her rooster to find out why he didn't sing instead of crow, and for two days afterwards she would Bhiver at the thought. One day the four-year-old rooster wandered out on the highway. He was wallowing In the dust and keeping an eye out for grocer beys when an auto came speeding along. He started to fly, but was knocked down and run over. The young man In the machine had begun to laugh when a thrilling scream chased it away. Out of a nearby gate came a young lady with flying hair. Indeed, she had a hair-brush in one hand and a handglass in the other, but she dropped both and gathered up the flopping fowl. The rooster had a broken leg. "I—I did not see him." faltered the young man, and yet with an amused twinkle In his eyes. "But you should have seen him!" was retorted. "Do you think the highway is free only to you? You are either very careless or very heartless." It was young Dr. George Clymer who had Just started In practice In the village. He had funds enough to keep an auto, and medicinal cheek enough to go skurrylng around in it as if he Jiad received a call from a man with a broken neck. This trip was one of his skurrles. While driving along, he was thinking how and when his first patient would come. He saw how seriously the girl took the affair, and he Introduced himself, and added that if any bones had been broken he would be happy to mend them free of cost. "It Is his right leg," she replied. "He may also have received internal injuries." "I trust not. I had thought of taking him to the office, where 1 have all the necessary appliances for setting broken limbs, but—" "You can bring your appliances and perform the operation here," commanded the owner of the rooster as she did her best to soothe the bird. "I will take him Into the house." Doctor Clymer felt both amused and Insulted. The young lady was good looking. The family was wealthy. He was single and ready to fall in love. On the other hand, was his first patient to be a broken-legged rooster? Would that recommend him to the village? That was veterinary work, If work for anyone. No he would not go back and become surgeon to^i rooster. He entered his office and sat down to a medical book. Tlng-a-Ung at the telephone. Half an hour had passed. "Is this Doctor Clymer?" "Yea." "This Is Miss Dustan. I thought you were coming right back. I am the owner of the rooster you ran over." "Yea, but I have a call from the country. A man has fallen four stories." "I can't help it if he has fallen 14. My rooster Is suffering tortures through your carelessness. I demand that you come at once—at once, sir!" The doctor went. He arrived at the Dustan mansion to find the patient lying on his back on a sofa cushion in the library. His well leg was ele* vated—his other lying prone. His eyes were closed, and Miss Alleen was pale-faced and tearful. It was a surgical operation soon over. The old rooster was game and made little trouble. A plaster of parls cast was not deemed necessary, but there were Instructions to be given as to the patient's diet and handling. The affairs of the house could go on just the same, and Mr. Dustan need not neglect his business In the city, but there should be no undue excitement. Complacency, serenity and good nursing would bring the rooster to both feet again la due time. Doctor Clymer was Introduced to the father and mother before he left. The mother was somewhat anxious about the oase the father winked at the doctor over the daughter's shoulder. In the long weeks, running Into months, the doctor got a patient or two, but It was uphill work and he had become discouraged, when one afternoon, Miss Aileen's father said to him as they sat on the veranda: "Doctor, what Is a four-year-old rooster worth In cash?" "About 60 cents." "And your bill must be over a hundred dollars?" "I thought—thought we might make tt a family affair." "Oh, well, you young fellows must have your change. Go and ask Alleen what she thinks of it." And when the question was propounded to her, ten minutes later, plie answered: "'Why, I've got to say yes, haven't 1? Suppose my rooster gets run over again and has another broken leg to set!" MUTUALLY COMPLIMENTARY. "You durned old pirate!" "For half a cent I'd flatten your nose all over your face, you blamed dock whailooper!" "You goggle-eyed, crooked-toothed, knock-kneed, flatpchested—" "You measly old bum! You moonedfaced, barrel-shaped, bow-legged—" "Close your face, you leathereklnned, long-nosed giraffe, or I'll—" "I'll drive your ugly head down into your thick neok If you say another word, you cheap skate, you vagabond, you disreputable old—" "You be gol durn, you walkin' funeral, you famine on stilts, you muttonhead, you—" "You're what's left of a oheap skate name Rick Stodgell!" "And you're the disfigured remains of a half-baked Idiot that used to be called Greasy Mullett!" Then they shook hands and clapped each other on the back. They were two old friends that hadn't met for 15 years and were expressing their exuberant joy at seeing eaoh other again. JOB WAS HIS: Johnnie—Say, rplsber, a mtyi told me you wanted a reai bright boy. Merchant—Yes. Johnnie—Well, I guess de Job's mine, my name Is Bright. CAUSE TO BE PROUD. Prof. E. Z. Marck—Yes, you have buncoed me! Me, a college professor! You ought to be ashamed for doing such a thing. Monte Karlow—No, sir, I should rather feel proud of having done very wise thing! On Parade.

All work In my line promptly attended to. Greeting to tbe Teachers Of Audubon County On 1 lie lSJtli day of next June the teachers of Audubon County will again assemble in the capacity of a Normal Institute. Object Of Normal Institutes The importance of the Normal Institute as a part of our school system cannot easily be overestimated. To many teachers it is the only school in which they can get any training in the best means of discipline and the mostapproved methods of instruction. To many others it is the only place in which they can go annually for new draughts of inspiration and enthusiasm to refresh themselves for another year's work. The most important thing to be done in an institute is not to impart information that will assist in securing a certificate nor alone to drill in the latest and best methods of teaching, but to inspire the lifeless, strengthen the weak, encourage the discouraged, and elevate the teacher's ideals of their work and life. Institute Attendance The intent of the new law seems to be that all teachers shall attend the Institute, and to enforce this provis ion the County Superintendent is required to furnish to the State Superintendent the names of all persons who attend together with a statement of the number of day's attendance. We would say to a few teachers of the County that it will be impossible for you to receive renewal of certificate unless you are extremely oautious in the future of your attendance and professional reading. We have certainly been lenient, but we cannot bring ourselves to certify to a false statement in your behalf. Don't disregard the old saying "A word to the wise is sufficient." Even the scarcity of teachers will not "save the day." We hope to see you in attendance. It will help you, it will help us. You need us, we need you. •"'!*.« Arrangemenypinstitute Work Institute proper will begin Monday, June 19th and continue until Saturday afternoon. Monday and Tuesday of the second week will be devoted entirely to review preparatory to examination. This is a special arrangement for those taking the examination. Enrollment Enrollment will begin Saturday, June 17th at Co. Superintendent's office. Those entering later will enroll Monday, June 19th at 4 p. m. at High School building. Should you arrive at the building during the day of June 19th, find a program and enter any class you wish. Institute Faculty We believe we are prepared to give as good an institute as has ever been held in the County. Our faculty is composed of people of experience who are adapted to their line of work and who are capable of making the session profitable to us, and through us to the schools of the County, if we do our part. Lectures Provisions have been made for se veral lectures. Subjects will be announced later. Some of these lectures will be illustrated. Rural Graduates tad School Director's Day. The graduating exercises for Eighth Grade pupils will be held Saturday June 24th. We shall be pleased to see all the graduates present with their parents and friends. Colors for the Class of 1911 are White and Pale-blue, We also call this Director's Day The program will be arranged with that in view. This is a busy time for farmers but we hope to have as many School officers with us on that day as can conveniently come. Special Work Prof. Conger's illustrated lectures on Physiography as a background of American history will undoubtedly prove an inspiration to teachers and give them a new point of view in the teaching of Geography. Miss McClure will give some very valuable work for the teacher in water-color work. Children naturally delight in the use of pencil and paintbrush and do not hesitate to draw anything from a locomotive to a scene in fairy-land. When Admitted Under Age To Examination. Candidates who are under age will receive no report of the examination nor will their answer papers be returned. Should one under age be admitted to any examination, the fee collected from such a candidate should be refunded. If writing in the June or July examination, the eighteenth birthday must be reached by the first of the next November. Teacher's Professional Improvement All these means of professional improvement and all other means at the teacher's command should be utilized. A teacher's growth ought never to HAsmsmmmE yal'iss Absolutely Pure Tho only baking powder made front Royal Grapo ys Cream of Tartar IU ALIM.NO LIME PHOSPHATE cease. He ought not to "die at the top." He planned to be a teacher in fact and spirit, not in name holy. work is more dignified, more important. more holy. It took a perfect man to deserve the name of "The Great Teacher." As one has said: "A real teacher is one who has Head enough and Heart enough and Time enough and Liberty enough, to be a Master in the Kingdom ok Lifa" Loyalty Of Teachers The great majority of Teachers of our County have ever been loyal to the Institute and to all other means of advancement, and we cannot close this Announcement without thanking you for such Cooperation. Teachers, let "Forward" be our watchword and let there be no turning back nor cessation until Audubon County shall stand in the front ranks. Yours For Advancement, Ella M. Stearns, Co. Supt.

I Play Ball for John Bull. eague 1 la spite of all our extra effort and the fact that my salary had been raised to $1,600, the Athletics did not succeed In landing the championship In the season of 1874, or even in securing second place. The. Bostons Were again victorious and the Mutuals of New York followed them, this be- the first time since the Professional was organized that the latter dub had climbed to such a height up •the baseball ladder. Our disappointment was somewhat lessened by the fact that although we were obliged to remain in third place, our Philadelphia rivals fell to fourth. The Chicago White Stockings, of whom such great things were expected, could get no higher than fifth. Well, we were getting used to disappointment, but I want to say to you right here that something happened that season that stung me to the bib ter—I fell to eighth on the batting list, the lowest place I had held since I became a professional. You have it straight from A. C. Anson that it was .one. of the biggest troubles that I had ever had put up to me. 1 was so fussed over it that I didn't eat or .sleep naturally for a month, and finally I went to our manager and told him I'd about made up my mind to quit the game. Gee, but it was a relief to have him call me a blasted fool and tell me that my salary for the next season would be $1,800. Once again the Bostons' splendid team work had given them the viotory. They had played 60 games that were counted as championship contests, had won 43 of them and had lost but 17. I don't see how any fan can look at that record and keep his seat The Athletics played 52 record games that "season, 31 to our credit and 21 lost. That season of 1874 brought the biggest boom in baseball that ever struck the earth. Professional, semi-profesatonal and amateur clubs sprung up everywhere, and the interest in ths game was at white heat. Baseball certainly had become the national pastime, and the time had come when missionaries were to be sent to set forth the glories of the game on foreign soil. The first to do business in that line was the dub of which I was a member, and our companion team was the champion Bostons. It was arranged that we should go over to 'England on a sort of campaign of «dncation—to show the cricket fans over there that the Americans had a better game than theirs. Of course I was tickled to death to tumble into a snip of this kind. The only regret I had was that It would itake me out of sight of the young lady .whq had ttiken first place In my af- COL.

Cotton lections, but as she didn't seem to be prostrated over the separation I braced up and went in for the trip with a big hurrah. Our stay in Europe was to be for only 80 days anyhow, and I settled down to the conclusion that an absence of that length might s^ve to better my chances with the young lady—she might be brought to a realization, as the novels say, of how hard It would be to do without me. Now 1 don't want to endanger my reputation for modesty, but I don't mind telling you that the teams selected for this pioneer service—the "baseball argonauts of 1874" a newspaper man christened them at the big sendoff on the night before sailing— contained some mighty solid baseball Umber. No history of the game would be worth a tinker's cuss word with their names left out. Note the Beancaters' makeup as I take them, one by one, from my dairy: A. O. Spalding, pitcher Jim O'Rourke, first base Ross Barnes, second base Harry Bchafer, third base George Wright, shortstop A. J. Leonard, left field: Cal McVey, right field Harry Wright, csnter field Thomas H. Beals and bam Wright, Jr., substitutes. Can you beat it? We couldn't win often enough to take the championship, although we plugged away at it for several seasons, and in the 14 exhibition games scheduled for Great Britain we were winners only six times. Our own make-up contained but three men who were with the Athletjcs when I joined the club—McBrlde, who was still our pitcher Flsler, who had been changed from second to first base, and McGeary, who was once more our shortstop. We sailed from Philadelphia July 16, and a big crowd was at the wharf to see us off. The voyage turned out to be nothing more than a ten-day play spell, with no one much under the weather and everybody keen for whatever sport was available. I don't mind telling you that poker lost none of its charm at sea, and my luck kept me.cheerful most of the tlmQ. For my part, I was sorry when we reached port with those 14 games of ball ahead of us and also seven games of oricket, which I forgot to mention until now. You may take it from yours truly that there was some curiosity over on the other side to see the great American game. Big turnouts greeted us wherever ws appeared, and I have nothing but praise for the manner In which we were treated. Our British friends didn't understand the game and didnt seem to be anxious to learn It, but they fell all over themselves In their effort to make us feel at home W Af nfC "ft\EYW£Nr ALMOST QAFPY OVffL 001?. Battimg AND F1 ELIDING and enjoy our visit. They went almost daffy over our batting and fielding, but they couldn't catch on to the little peculiarities of the game. They went almost daffy over our hatting and fielding. When it came to cricket we oertalnly gave them a surprise party. In those seven games we were permitted to play 18 men against 11, which proved to be far too much of an advantage, for we defeated with ease such crack organizations as the Marylebone, Prince's and Surrey clubs In London, both the Manchester and Sheffield clubs and the All-Ireland club in Dublin. In that Irish game I did a stunt that surprised me as much as it did anybody—I made the highest score of all in our game, although I was new at cricket, and some of the others—the Wrights, for example— were expert players. Now we certainly did make a good Impression in Great Britain. When I landed I was prepared to have lots of chances to find fault with things, bu I never was more mistaken in my life. Those English crowds that came to see us play were the best mannered •el of folks I ever struok. I don't say that I should like to play ball every day in the'week before such a crowd —after all, there something mighty stimulating in a bunch of good, double-lung-powered American rooters— but it was a relief to strike such a well-behaved crowd for a change. First, I though it was all becau&e they didn't get on to the American game and were afraid they might let themselves loose in the wrong places. I expected that when we reached the cricket end of the program they would warm up a little. They didn't that was the English way of doing it, and they didn't know any other. For one, I was sorry when the 80 days allotted to our visit had passed. Of course I had a good deal of curiosity to see how the lady of my dreams was bearing up without my sustaining presence, but I could have [remained another month in John Bull's country without a pang of homesickness. Even now I often recall it as one of the most satisfactory junkets I ever made. Of the return voyage I never think or speak unless by accident. It is enough to say that when we landed in Philadelphia on September 9 there was scarcely a man in tl?e party who crossed over the gangplank with steady knees. Father Neptune had been having a lot of fun with us all :the way over. 1 CHAPTER IX. I Win a Capital Prise. When the season of 1875 opened 1 did not even dream that It was to be my last In Philadelphia. My salary of $1,800 was satisfactory to me, and I had every reason to believe that my work was satisfactory to the management of the Athletics. More than that—a whole lot more It seemed to ms—my love affair was going on swimmingly, and Just then Philadelphia seemed nearer paradise than any other spot on earth. That year baseball took a remarkable spurt. Thirteen clubs entered the ohamplonshlp arena. Of these the Quaker city came to the front with three, and St Louis, Just opening her eyes to the beauties of the game, put two Into the field. The series that year consisted of ten games, six to be played as the legal requirement. At the end of the season only seven of of the original 18 would-be champions had fulfilled the conditions. Three of them had fallen by the wayside before the season was half over. For the fourth successive season the Bostons carried off the honors, with a record that beat anything that had ever been done in baseball—out of 79 games they won 71 and lost but eight. The Athletics cllmed back to second place that year, playing 73 games in all, winning 63 and losing 20. That was satisfactory to the Athletic management, but it was not altogether so to A. 0. Anson. I had a strong hankering to belong to a championship team, and had it not been for my little romance under way In Philadelphia I should have been looking about to see how I could work it. As it was, I didn't worry a great deal over anything else until I had brought the courtship to the engagement point. Then I drew a long breath and began to look around a little. But first let me tell you about that romance. If it's true that "All the world loves a lover," you'll be glad to hear about it anyhow, I like to talk about it once In a while, just to refresh my memory. And I'm going to start right out by saying that if marriage is a lottery, as has been said, I won the capital prize when I got the woman who has been my constant companion for the past 85 years. Her name was Virginia M. Flegal, and the first time I ever saw her was at a ball given by the National Guards soon after my arrival in Philadelphia. At that time she was a fair-haired, blue-eyed maiden of not more than thirteen years, and as demure and shy as a little Quakeress on First day. 1 have never been able to get the slightest evidence that she was conscious of my existence on that particular evening, but before it was over I discovered that she had made a decided impression on me. It seemed absurd, and I couldn't explain it, but it was done. Just the same. By this time, I guess, you must have a pretty fair idea of what I was In those days. If you haven't, I don't mind telling you that I wasn't a whole lot to look at—just a husky, longlegged chap, somewhat after the big kid order, with a hide that no amount of sun and weather could make blushproof and hair that just escaped being brindle. Tough proposition to put up against a little woman of the only daughter order, wasn't it? Well, there wasn't anything BWift about our acquaintance. It was months after that night before I saw her again, and she had grown almost out of my recollection. In the interim she had passed into the long-dress stage, and I couldn't help thinking she had Improved mightily. I also felt certain that I had parted with some of my uncouthness, although I had by no means graduated from the awkward squad. I remember that as I was printed to her for the second time 1 congratulated myself interiorly that I was wearing my best necktie, a gorgeous affair of saffron-colored satin liberally besprinkled with deep blue polka dots. She saw me all right on that occasion she couldn't help it. That necktie did the business. She told me long afterward that it was a revelation to her that she had never seen anything so rank In the way of haberdashery, and that 6he was seized with a burning desire to exchange a few words with the wearer of such a danger signal. I gave her every opportunity to do so, and I plucked up my courage and tried to make myself agreeable. Strange as it j®ay se^m, she 'did" notTmake any perceptfBle effort to shake me, and actually appeared to be interested in what I said—which was strictly baseball talk and nothing else. I didn't Bee her again until the fol­ lowing summer. Then I met her face to face in Fairmont park in company with a young lady with whom I had a slight acquaintance, afterward the wife of Johnnie McMullen, the ©TR.ICTJLY BASK RAU. base­ ball pitcher. Virginia was very gracious to me, and after we had talked a while—it seemed to be easier for me to talk to her than to any woman I had ever met—she remarked that Miss Cobb was going home with her to lunch, and added that she would like to have me accompany them. Did I hesitate? Take it straight from me, young man in a similar condition, that I didn't wait long enough, hardly, to be civil. Long before we .reached the door of Virginia's home I had surrendered completely. Either out of mischief or from a desire to promote matters, Miss Cobb recalled suddenly that she had an engagement elsewhere and Miss Fiegel and I were left to enter the latter's home without a chaperon, a calarpity of which 1 had no appreciation at that 6tage of my career. I remember I asked her, once inside the door, if her father- and mother were at home and she looked at me with a half frightened air as though I might have the intention of looting the premises. She gave a sigh of relief when I assured her that I only wanted to ask permission to light a cigar, as I felt somewhat exhausted after the walk. Both her parents were In and I was presented to them before going out to lunSh. The mother was a sweet-faced woman, all graclousneBs and hospitality, but I fancied that the TALK AND NOTHING ti-S£. old gentleman did not take kindly to my presence. He seemed to be somewhat reserved in his manner, and once or twice I discovered him In the act of scanning me sharply over the topnof his spectacles. Virginia and h$r mother were at their ease if I was not, and they did their best to help me along. Up to that day I had never concerned myself as to what manner of man I was, baseball and billiards giving me more to worry over than the cut of my trousers or the fit of my coat. Right then and there I had a sudden change of heart. As soon as I reaohed my room after leaving the Fiegal home I went straight to the looking glass, determined to see myself, as I really was, If I collapsed at the sight. Luckily It didn't have that effect on me. Something, I don't know what it was, seemed to assure me that I would do. Then I began to frequent the Flegal house, and I actually neglected my business to Invent excuses for doing so. Lying did not come natural to me, but I certainly tried hard enough to become expert in finding pretexts for visiting the little girl who had caught me on the fly. Some of these tales must have seemed rather fishy to the Flegals, but any old yarn was good enough for me. No, It wasn't exactly smooth sailing. I had a rival and a mighty good-looking one at that, Charlie Snyder, a great hit with the sex wherever he went. Charlie was also a lively candidate for first place in Miss Virginia's affections and for a while it looked as though I was going to be distanced. Finally I got so fussed over the business that I out and told the little woman that she must choose between us. "That's exactly what I've been doing," she said demurely. "Well, I suppose it's Charlie," I said, with an awful sinking in the region of my blood pump. "Then you are wrong—as usual," she retorted. I was kind of dazed for a moment, but I knew I had won.

At least that's what everybody in town said. They also said It was perfectly ridiculous what a slave a man could make of himself just because he had fallen in love with a girl. That fall Pearlie began raving over the football players on the state university team, whose pictures were in all the weekly papers, and what made it more serious was the fact that Ben Hrllt, one of the town boys and a rival of Tom's, was on the team. Tom shivered to think of the holiday vacation, when Ben would be home and Pearlie could worship him in person. Tom realized to the full the vagaries of the feminine heart. He knew that mere worth did not count against brass buttons or brawn and Ben Tlrlit certainly had plenty of the latter. He looked like a young ox, Tom bitterly reflected, gazing at the football team as pictured in the window of Peterson's drug store. Every time he went to call on Pearlle nowadays she recited' the football scores to him and inquired If he didn't think the run that Ben Tirlit made in the last game was perfectly wonderful! She said she just loved athletic men. That settled It. Tom Flanz was built on fat and bulky lines, but if Pearlie liked 'em athletic, why, athletic he would be. There was something heroic about Tom Flanz's whole souled sacrifice of himself. What he really liked was a big plateful of buckwheat cakes for breakfast and an easy chair and riding instead of walking, but he held grimly to his diet, religiously swung his Indian clubs, painstakingly worked his patent exerciser and walked five miles a day. "I'm training down," he told Pearlie Fattershall with pride. "I really have got a lot of muscle!" "Have you?" she asked, absently. "I shouldn't have thought It. Did you ever play football when you were at college?" What chance, Tom Flanz reflected desperately on the way home, had a fellow tied down by business against a great lazy loafer at school, who did nothing but chase a football over the ground? Then he redoubled his exercise. It was such a serious matter with him that his friends began to take an interest. They all knew that Tom was Immolating himself because Pearlle Fattershall liked athletic men. They took a personal interest in his cutting out Ben Tirlit. and when that young gentleman came home at holiday time and took Pearlie to the dance they were indignant They considered that she was playing unfairly. But Tom kept on with his exercise and his diet. He began to grow thin, naturally, but that did not eatlsfy him, for he yearned for the bulk and brawn of Tirlit. However, he could not have the bulk without achieving it by fat, and this worried him. He read all the sporting pages of the city newspapers In order to enliven his conversation by scores and gossip and thus prove to Pearlie that he took an abiding interest in athletics. Instead of being Impressed by this she took it as a mr.tter of course. "People do like sports and athr letlcs," she sighed. "Did you happen to notice what the last football score was?" "I can lift ten pounds more than any other man in town," Tom told her one day late in the winter. "Can you?" Pearlie asked politely. "What's the use?" Tom Flanz's jaw dropped. "I—I thought you liked athletic men!" he stammered out. "You're so crazy over the football news and Ben Tirlit and things like that. 1—I've been trying to qualify, Pearlie. I knew you wouldn't like me just for myself and I've been working hard at athletics this winter. I can't play football, but I can do lots of other things!" Pearlie Fattershall looked at him with startled eyes. "Do you mean to say," she began, Indignantly, "that you've deliberately gone about getting thin and scrawny and like a pickled chicken, as you have been lately, because you thought I'd'like you better? My goodness, Tom Flanz, I like you heaps better when you're fat and comfortable, and I don't care if you're athletic or not! Why, you—are you!" "Pearlie," breathed Tom Flanz in a voice broken with emotion, "why the dickens didn't you tell me that early last fall? Think of all the buckwheat cakes I've missedt" Another Bunko.

Their Pleasant 1 Summer "Where," asked the caller, In conventionally polite tones and with lukewarm interest, "are you going for the summer?" The effect on her hostess was electrical. She sat bolt upright, dropped the teapot with a bang and echoed: "Going! We're not going—we're staying!" "My goodness!" gasped the caller. "Excuse me for mentioning it If It's a tender subject!" "It's not tender," said her hostess, energetically. "It's worse—it's an impossible subjeot! We went away last summer, and that's the reason. The Tunnnls announced that they were going to Europe and said that If we'd occupy their big place across the lake for the season, and see that the servants didn't fight and that the cows didn't eat up the garden, we'd make them our debtors for life. "We stored our furniture when the lease expired in May and rushed headlong to our doom. We thought it was a paradise on earth toward which we were flying, and maybe it would have been if the cook and the maid and the man of all work at the place hadn't decided that since their real family was gone, this would be a nice time to run home to the old country for a visit. And they went, two days after we came. They looked us over in a cold and orltlcal way and disapproved of us and departed. "We got lots of exercise before we found help. Tom used to rise at four and weed the garden and I got up at the same time to feed the chickens, turn on the automatic pump, get breakfast and superintend Tom's milking. He was kicked through the barn door only twice and we considered that the record was pretty good for a greenhorn, fcle had some minor mishaps, like poking back all the beans when they came up, pushing the seed ahead of them and training the potato vines up on strings Instead of the peas, but trouble didn't really start until later. "One day we wero sitting in the flower garden having lunch, and I told Dotty, aged four, to go indoors for something. We watched her disappear Into the house and then Tom said, "Could anything be more peaceful or inspiring than this perfect day!' And I responded in similar blank verse. Just then the neighbor whose cottage was on the lake shore came tearing around the corner of our house. "She stared at us as though we annoyed her. 'Aren't you folks In bathing?' she inquired. 'Well, somebody is out in front, and I thought—' "Tom and I did a foot race to the water unconscious and black in the lake and he fished Dotty out of the face. That child had marched in at the back door of the house and as promptly marched out through the front door and proceeded to take a paddle by herself in the lake, inspired by some unaccountable juvenile impulse. "Dotty came out of her trance In two hours, but during that time I got ten gray hairs and Tom's nervous system was permanently shattered. "It was a couple of weeks later that Dotty and Tom, Jr., remarked that their throats were sore and the doctor pronounced it black diphtheria. He murmured something ajjout defective drains. There was a blur of trained nurses and horrors for a time and then the smoke of battle cleared away. "Meanwhile the cows had'eaten that part of the garden that had not dried up for lack of attention and the chickens were laying eggs all over the county. The Tunnills never did get them back. "They'd send us postoards from Europe saying, 'We saw this today. Hope you are enjoying life at the dear old home.' This while I was burning fumigating candles. Or, 'We came down this river today. How you must be enjoying the garden green things." That came the day the cows ate the last of tha green corn we had expected to use ourselves. "A little while later Tom dropped a flatlron on his toe and blood poisoning set In. Then the Tunnills sent a lovely card, saying: 'We oan Just Imagine you doing the five-mile walk through Elm lane and the woods. We envy you.' This was while we were changing the bandages on his smashed and painful foot six times a day. "The worst of all was that the family sent Tom's pretty and harumscarum sister Nell to us so that she'd forget the ineligible man she was trying to get engaged to. I produced all the young men at the hotel and several village lights to distract her, and so perfectly did I succeed that she eloped with a college boy who was running a launch to pay his summer expenses. As the family was saving up a millionaire for Nell when she should have come to her senses they still feel hard toward me, and say I should have had more sense. "When we came back to town in the fall all the good flats were taken and the moths had got into our rugs, and I had lost fifteen pounds and all my color, and Tom was a dyspeptic old grouch. It's taken all winter to get Dotty and Tom, Jr., civilized again, and on the whole we've concluded that the family will be better oft if It denies itself the strain of a summer vacation. We're going to stick right here I" "It does sound safer," admitted the caller. UNFAIR ADVANTAGE.

If tbe telephone girl would tell all she knows it would turn half our friends into bitterest foes she would sow a small wind that would soon be a gale, engulf us in trouble and land us in jail she could let go a story (which gaining in force) would cause half our wives to sue for divorce.
