Holbrook Block, St. Johus, Oregon SHE ALWAYS CONQUERED. Sunn B. Anthony's Experience School Rebellion!. Susan U. Anthony, the eminent ndvocnto of woman suffrage, was for fifteen years a tcuchcr before begin ning her more public career. Brought up in a household of Friends, she united gentleness and finnncfd nnd was an ndmirnblo dis ciplinarian. Her rule was mild, and she ab horred tho rod. But she learned on taking tho district school at Center ln n nbout sovontv-livo venrs niro session by way of tho window, and that sho herself although in con- sidcrntion of her penco principles and her sex she wns to be permitted an exit by the door wns already openly doomed by tho young rebels , to forciblo ejection. That was too 1 . 1 . ,f. r 1 mucn ior ncr lingering iuaKcny prejudices. As soon as their hulking ring leader entered upon a preliminary course of antics tho new "school ma'am," in sweet and even tones, summoned him to her desk. Ho came, and in a manner equally pleasant nnd unru filed sho requested liim to rcmovo his jacket. In sheer nstonishmcnt ho com plied, nnd before ho quite know whnt hnd happened ho round him self receiving from n limber birch rod skillfully applied tho ncntcst and complotcst whipping of his lifo. Ho went back to his scat a chasten ed nnd crestfallen youth, with tho swnggcr quite taken out of him, nnd Miss Anthony for tho rest of tho term received admirably prompt obedience from her pupils. It was tho only school rebellion which sho quelled in that way, but by no means tho only ono which sho overcame, for sho taught in somo very rough nnd neglected districts. But sho mot every emergency with spirit, tact and rendiness nnd al ways conquered. '"Ono of tho reasons for her suc cess," said nn old school friend, "wns Hint nobody could ever toll un til it happened just what Susan would do or how sho would do it Wo only knew there was ono thing sho would not do give in. Sho hnd more courage nnd persistence than any woman I over knew." Youth's Companion. What Joaquin Oald. It is related that when Joaquin Miller wns nsked to go to tho races ho poetically replied: "l'lanol l'i ono!" Ah no diagram accompanies tho puzzle, wo are forced to put our own construction on tho poet s cnlg matical remark. It may bo that Joaquin meant to convey tho idea that it was all right to play the races. On tho other band, ho may havo wished to hnvo it inferred that races wero not his forto tho lyre being more in his lino of business, Of courso tho meaning is thoro, nil right, only wo haven't tho optical nfllntus to spot it. In tho dagocso of tho I'lorcntine, piano meant soft, nnd it is barely possiblo that Joaquin merely meant to havo the person who extended tho invitation spenk softly, lest tho fomnlo mem bers of his housohold tnko cogni zance of his proposed whereabouts, Perhaps we'd better let it go at that.
