DEPARTMENT TO AID
Teaching School Children to be Stud-
led by Department at Washington
Washington,' Nov. 21 The educa
tion olf children In rural districts in
accordance with the "back to the farm
movement" Is to be encouraged by the
Department of Agriculture .hence
forth.' - :. ,
- Secretary Wilson proposes to un
dertake a campaign through the Far
mer's Institutes. Prizes, such as a
well bred calf, a trio of chickens, a
medalr or a trip to. the countyfair
are to be offered to winners of such
contests as milking a cow, grooming
a horse, shocking hay, cooking, bak
ing, sheep, shearing,' corn husking
anything that appertains' to life on the
farm. The Department in a special
bulletin setting forth plans says that
out of every 600 young people In the
country districts In the United
States only one ever enters an agrl
cultural college. Of every 100 rural
and urban children only 5 enrer reach
the high school, and only 6 ever go
beyond the elementary schools. Ninety-four
put. of every 100 children
therefore finish their education with
the district school. Inasmuch as these
94 children include those In cities an 1
towns as well as those in the coun
try districts, and since city and town
children continue longer in schoo
than do those of the country, it is
Bafe to say that fully 97 out of ever:
J 00 rural boys and girls finish their
education with courses of study and
arranging and judging contests.

, TJit Witch FintVr
Three hundred ye-rs so the busi
ness of finding out wlt.L?i was wel
established a nif ncce:tl In courts vt
law as highly proper. In 1G10 it la re
corded that tae magistrates of New
castle. England. Kent to Scotland for
in expert witch fiiidor. TUIh gifted
persoa prot twed to show b'.s sUill l.v
Ils"o erliij; fifteen v.T.c'jes uufl secur-
Ins ' their couvktlou. Cue Matthew
Hopkins was a celebrated witch finder
of that period. It wns easy to discover
witches when you knew bow. The sus
pected person could be forced to weep
and then detected by the well known
fact that a witch could shed only three
tears and those from the left eye. or
she could b.e pricked with plus to dis
cover the spot insensible to pain, which
was a sure sign of dealings with the
devil. That women were , far more
likely to dabble In witchcraft than
men was conceded. The reason was
satisfactorily explained by a famous
German text book on witches published
In the fifteenth century. It was sim
ply that women were inherently wick
ed, whereas men naturally Inclined to
goodness. . .

Tbe.eoyote is the little brother of the
Indian. When the buffalo vnnished
from the plains the Indian shot his
rifle Into the air, wrapped his blanket
closer about him and came Into .the
reservation to grow fat and unplctur-
esque under federal auspices. When
the Jack raboit and molly cottontail
the howl of the last coyote will sink j
into silence beyond the great divide.
Cntli" that far day arrives, however,
bang the bacon high,, foi w hile the rab
bit remains the - most skillful , four
legged forager the world ever knew
will bay at the moon by night and Just
keep out of rifle range by day. The
coyote knows more about traps than a
Canadian ""voyageur," la an expert on
strychnine and never falls for the
deadfall. He Is rather fond of lambs
and calves, but rabbits are the oat
meal of this phantom highlunder," and,
as "Diamond Field" Jack Davis would
say, "where two or three of these are
gathered together there you will find
the coyote, seeking to stow one of them
Into his midst." Philadelphia ' Tele

When a Burglar Calls at Night.-
'If a burglar breaks Into your bouse
at night don't try to corner him," said
an old headquarters policeman. "If the
Tisitor - awakens you , make " noise
enough to scare him away, but don't
K9 after blm with a gun. . Ten to one
he'll 'get' you before you can hit him
It's better to lose a few .dollars' worth
of goods than your life. I'm giving it
to you straight. . The average man,
waked up in the middle of the night,
always ; badly " frightened, hasn't
chance against the man with nerve
enough to break into an "occupied
house. Every burglar is a potential
murderer and will shoot to kill if you
try to catch him. And why not? He's
got a big, long term in prison staring
him In the face if he's nabbed, and
he'll take a chance on murder every
time to get, a way. Leave the capture
of such gentry to the cops., They're
paid to be shot at; you ain't" Kansas

, The Normans. '
The Normans were Northmen or, to
he more precise, the descendants of
Northmen, who had been expelled
from their native Norway in conse
quence of an effort on their part to
subvert its institutions and to make
its lands hereditary Instead of being
divisible among all 'the sons of the
former owner. A hand of expatriated
outlaws and robbers, they won and
held ' the fair province of northern
France, which they named Normandy,
after their native land. When they
Invaded England they were French
men only in the sense that they bad
lived for some generations on French
soil. In blood . they belonged to the
great Germanic breed, along with the
Anglo-Saxons, Danes and other Scan
dinavian and German peoples. New
