My wife had a boy last night, also ten pounds of cheese and a rat trap. He weighed nine pounds and a hatchet and nails." Lost subscriber item from the Norwich Courant: We are mourning over the loss of a subscriber.

It is one of those cases where the pa per was ordered and was to be paid for in a few days. Eighteen months have now passed and the paper was marked "refused." God loves such people, and we imagine throughout the endless ages of eternity "you will find a whole row of this class sit ting on a top seat on His throne like the dickens. A serious accident happened, Thursday of last week, to Mr. and Mrs. Dayhoff, who lives a few miles north of town.

While returning from Wamego their team became frightened and run-a-way, upsetting the wagon, near the Judge Beal farm, throwing both occupants out. Mrs. Dayhoff was seriously bruised and injured badly, and Mr. Dayhoff was considerably bruised. Medical assistance was summoned and at present writing both parties are getting along as well as could be expected.

One of the horses was hurt quite bad, and the wgon smashed up somewhat which convened at St. Marys last Friday and Saturday was one of the best meetings of the kind ever held in the county. The convention was called to order Friday evening by the president, J. M. St.

John. Miller's Opera House, in which the convention met, was crowded at an early hour, and at 7:30 the evening's program opened with a double quartette by eight of Sc. Mary's popular singers. Prof. A.

L. Bell then welcomed the teachers of the county to Sb. Marys; Prof. I. H.

Sawtell, of Wamego, responding in bebalf of the teachers. Miss Moss and Mrs. Lane sang one of their pfeaslng duets just after the address of welcome, while the response of Prof. SawtellwaB followed by a violin solo by Prof. De Berreul, of St.

Marys college. Prof. De Berreul waB greeted with such an applause that he was forced to give a second and even more beautiful selection than the first. Miss Jessie Jenner's recitation was especially pleasing to all the teachers present and should be heard by every boy and girl in the county. After a vocal solo by Mrs.

Sipes, who received a hearty encore, State Supt. Stryker was introduced to the audience. Prof. Stryker spoke for over an hour and said many good things which would be well to mention here if space would permit. Of the many good things he said, mention should be made of the following: "There are too many people educated for the parlor and too few for the kitchen, too much trigonometry and too little arithmetic; too mucin Latin and not enough English." Supt.

Stryker made many new friends while in St. Marys. The program of the evening was closed by the entire audience singing America. At 9 o'clock Saturday morning, the association convened at the school house and the program published in the newspapers of the county was carried out, nearly every teacher being present and responding promptly to his or ber name. Geo.

Anderson and Weltha Benton, of the St. Marys schools, each gave a recitation Saturday, while Mrs. Bell, Grace Brownell and Lela McLellan favored us all with some excellent music. Take it from every standpoint the meeting was a success in every way The following officers were chosen for the next year: Geo. T.

Codding, president; Jas. E. Hyett, vice-president; Supt. Weltner, secretary; Miss Mary Campbell, treasurer. Notes.

Everybody had a good time and a profitable time. You could hear on every side: "I was never treated better than by the people of St. Marys." Quite a number of teachers from Jackson and Wabaunsee counties were present. Every teacher was present from St. Marys, Belvue, Louisville, St.

George, Havensville, Onaga eight of the ten of the Wamego schools, and about one hundred others from the country schools. Those who arrived on the afternoon train was taken to the college Where the vice-president of the college took them through the buildings and showed every possible courtesy to his visitors. St. Marys is a live town and a business town, judging from the number of persons trading in the different stores on Saturday. Every teacher present expects to attend the next association where ever it is held.

J. M. St. JoSn. Sanctification of speech excludes malicious words.

The greater part of the heart-aches of the world can be traced back to unkind words. They are in a large part responsible for life's wretchedness and failures. It is not always the words that are intended to injure that do the most harm. Sometime a thoughtless insinuation is taken upon the wings of gossip and passed from lip to lip until Slander stamps her seal upon it and declares it true. The air may hardly stir with the whispered word, yet as it goes from tongue to tongue it gathers force until at last even the noisy city hears its import, and a name that at sunrise was fair and stainless, lies at eventide low in the dast.
