IT IS TO As election in Portland
GIGGLE -draws nearer and nearer,
the municipal vaudeville performance
grows more and more humorous in
its aspects when viewed from the out
side by mere lookers-on. Among re
cent developments is to be noted the
appearance of a new weekly paper
Portland is the most fertile field for
weekly papers that exists outside of
dear old Boston. This new paper
blossoms forth into a general tirade
against the things that are, explicitly
condemning everything from Mayor
Rushlight up or down to the Port
land daily press. It is quite a
sprigntly addition to the offerings of
the political fight; and while its aim
seems to be a mite hazy, its inten
tions appear to be radical enought to
suit the most disgruntled kicker of
all.
Added to this the happy family of
big dailies now seem torn asunder
again, and the spectacle is offered of
two usually serene and dignified pa
pers joining in a sort of Artemus
Ward interchange of compliments.
While neither has referred to the
other yet as "that vile insect down
the street," language such as this
may be expected before the end of
the campaign. Verily, Portland is
having a fine time with itself, ani
with its 99 candidates but fortun-
ately it will soon be over.
MORE UPON This matter of the
THE SAME schools, and what is
wrong with them, seems to be tak
ing up considerable of the public at
tention. Mr. Gary, county school su
perintendent, is himself not quite
satisfied with the manner in which
the modern young idea is taught to
shoot and from time to time com
ments thereon. One of his latest epi
grams on the subject Is "school is not
preparation for life, it is a part of
life." Mr. Gary has observed and
he knows whereof he speaks.
School is life, and it is mighty poor
life these days. It is so poor, in fact,
that we no longer hear that time
honored platitude about school days
being the happiest ones of all. Mod
ern school days are not happy for
anybody concerned. They are not
happy for the students, because the

boys and girls are confused with a .
mass of studies of practically no
value to therein everyday life; they
are not happy for the teachers, be
cause the Instructors realize that
there is little enthusiasm among the
pupils, and because they know that
much of the teaching is worthless;
they are not happy ones for the par
ents, because many of them can ill
afford to have their children puzzl
ing their minds over so much useless
matter.
Wherein lies the remedy, is the
question that confronts all. It is not
thought satisfaction will be found
entirely by a return to tne olden-day
courses, when reading, 'riting and
'rithmetic were the standbys for the
years of school life. The hope of
the future, according to the general
opinion, lies in the vocational school;
in courses of study designed not only,
to be helpful in later life, but to be a
part of the life of youth itself. Chil
dren will learn the necessary things
much more radiply if they are taught
them indirectly. While it is true
that they have to be rigorously drill
ed in some of the simpler subjects,
such as spelling and the art of writ
ing now almost a lost art much of
the other work can be furnished them
incidentally with instruction of real
interest. Arithmetic, for instance,
can be made a part of almost any vo
cational study; it can be, co-ordinated
with manual training, and even with
domestic science.
History, geography, science, as
well as grammar and other studies,
can be taken up indirectly with vo
cational work. History and geog
raphy, in particular, can be made in
teresting to even the dullest- dunce if
taught by story and not by rote.
Manual training and domestic science
can be made the basis from which
more advanced scholars can branch
out into botany, agriculture, physics,
Preaa Aeeoclatlou.
or a host of other things; and they
can be so taught that the children
will welcome the hours in the class
room or the laboratory, and will not
go drudgingly from study to study as
prisoners go from task to task.
The truth of the matter is that
while every other phase of modern
life has undergone a great transition
in recent years, school work is still
hide-bound by the binding cords of
the past The desks of Jhe modern
school are more comfortable than the
benches of former years, Jjlackboards
are less of a strain upon the eyes,
classrooms are better ventilated and
better lighted but the curricula is
still a monstrous thing which is jam
med - willy-nilly down the throats of
the youngsters like a distasteful medi
cine. Schooling is presented to the
child as something that has got to
be suffered, instead of being offered
as a tempting pathway to new fields
seen vaguely in the distance.
Everything outside of school has
been made more attractive, child life
has been regarded as a thing that
should be made pleasant but school
life has lagged behind with, some few
other remnants of bygone eras. The
change must come and come speed
ily else we will become a nation of
under-educated folk, a land of illiter
ates, a people of superficial shams.
It is well that the public mind fs
turning to this matter ,for only
through public agitation will a bet
terment be brought about.
"THIS IS MY 16TH BIRTHDAY"
Erich Korngold
Erich Wolfgang Korngold, whom
critics speak of as the most amazing
phenomenon in present-day music,
was born in Brunn, Austria, May 29,
1897. He is the son of Dr. Julius
Korngold, the "reviewer of music for
the Neue Freie Presse Of Vienna,
and a man of high standing in his
profession. The elder Korngold has
guided his son's studies in music, but
no teacher seems to have any import
ant share in them. At the age of
eleven years the boy wrote the music
to the pantomime "Der Schneemann".
In the two years following he wrote
a pianoforte trio, a pianoforte sonata
in "D" minor, a second sonata in
"E" major, and a set of seven "Mar
chenbilder" for the pianoforte. All
of his compositions have been en
thusiastically praised by the critics.
In addition to the pieces enumerated
the young composer has written an
"Overture to a Tragic Play,'' which
was performed at the Mikisch con
certs in Leipzig a year ago.
THE GOOD OLD SUMMR TIME.
When the green Bits back on the trees an'
bees
Is hummin' aroun ag'in
In that sort of an easy, go as you please.
Ol' way they, bum i-oun' in,
When you on to work an' you want to
not
An' you an' your wife agrees
It's time to spade up the garden lot.
An' the green gits back on the trees.
Why, I like, as I say, sich times as these
When the green, you know, gits back on
the trees.
James Whitcomb Riley.
I quote from memory, not having
seen the poem in fifteen years, so do
not mind if there should happen to be
a comma misplaced. But, at any rate,
the sentiment is there.
Well, It is coming again, the "good
old summer time." You can feel it in
the air right now.
And I like it don't you ? Every sea
son is good, but summer well, sum
mer is the wine of the year. .
The bees like summer, and the bees
have more sense than some people.
Tbe birds like summer. So df the
flowers. So does the small boy.
Some people picture heaven as a
place where summer never ends.
Well, they do not have to go to heaven
to find that condition. They can get it
in southern California or down around
the equator.
But there can be too much of even
as good a thing as summer.
These little winter absences heighten
our enjoyment of it, just as we appre
ciate home the more when we have
been away. , -
Winter is a good thing because it
whets the appetite for summer.
The sun is a magician who by mere
ly looking upon the fields and trees
covers them with verdure and blos
soms. He is an artist who uses the earth
as a canvas and places thereon colors
compared to which man's best crea
tions are but weak imitations and
daubs.
He marches northward, and a belt of
green advances before him announcing
his coming.

north our bleak climate has the miracle
of June.
No wonder the ancients fell on their
faces before the rising sun.
When summer comes man wonld
cease work, so enraptured is he with
the mere luxury of living.
The sun looks upon tbe wheat fields
and they grow golden into harvest,
upon the flowers and they turn their
faces toward him with pleasure, upon
the fruits and they blush red in ripen
ing. The sun is king and summer Is his
queen. To this royal pair man ever is
a loyal subject.

The First Gas Tubes.
William Murdock. a Scottish mining
engineer, appears to have been the first
to suggest that gas might be conveyed
in tubes and used instead of lamps
and candles. He made a very ingen
ious gas lantern for himself, with
which he used to light his way over
the Cornish moors at night This lan
tern consisted of a bag filled with gas
and fitted with a tube, at the end of
which the gas could be lighted. Carry
ing the bag under his ana, Murdock
used to light his way borne at night
On meeting any one he would give the
bag a squeeze and thus send out a long
tongue of flame. This led to his being
looked upou as the demon of the Cor
nish moors.
English Triumphant.
One of the reasons why English is
expected to become n world language
is that English people refuse to learn
another. A correspondent sends the
following example: At Muscat, at the
entrance to the Persian gulf, there
lived for many years an Englishman,
supposed to be the only, or almost the
only, British resident on tbe 1,500 miles
of Arabian coastline from Aden to Ko
weit. It would seem that he could
hardly have escaped knowing Arabic.
Yet he confessed that he could not
speak a dozen words of that language.
"But how do you carry -on your
trade?" some one asked.
"Oh." he replied, "the beggars have
to learn English." London Globe.
Her Expectations.
. "Though my daughter has no dowry",
she has some expectations.- It may be
10,000 francs, perhaps more."
"Yes. yes; can't you' fix on a sum?"

. I had heard from the old man's
neighbors how . his reputation as a
rough and tumble fighter was once
saved by his wife, and, though I had
thrown out hints several times, neither
of them seemed inclined to tell the
tale. I therefore had to .wait till the
signs came right One autumn day
Zeb took me along with him as he vis
ited, his traps . for mink along a creek,
and as we rested on a rock previous
to the long walk back to his cabin he
said, "That ain't much of a yarn."
"But I want to hear it"
"Well. I'll begin by sayin' that I'd
worked so hard fur three Or Jo' y'ars
arter the wah that I got all run down.
That same y'ar a critter named Pike
moved into the nayburhood. He talk
ed so loud and blowed so high that ev
erybody was skeart of him, and he
jest went around steppln' high and
bossin' the roost y That- critter used
to cum down to my cabin and brag
and blow and tell how many men he'd
licked, and oneday I gin him plain to
understan' that I didn't believe his
stories. That made him mad, and he
went away, sayin' as how he'd wallop
me fur his next victim. . He knowed
I was in poor health and couldn't fight
a .fly. but every two or three days he'd
cum down and stand in front of the
cabin and yell:
' 'Now. then, Zeb White, cum out
y ere and git the awfulest wallopin' a
human critter ever received. I'm no
hand to brag, but I kin tie both hands
behind me and then chaw yo' up in
two minits. I've licked forty-seven
different men and never got my nose
skinned. Either own up that yo' dasn't
fight a man or cum out and be wal
loped." -
"That's the way he'd talk to me,"
continued Zeb, "and I'd get so mad
that I cried like a child. Bimeby I
begun to git a little better, and one
day when, he was callin' on me to cum
fo'th and be walloped I teld him that
if he'd show up a week from that day
I'd tackle him. He went away crack
in' his heels and whoopln' and rejoic
In and the old woman sez to me. sez
she:
" 'Zeb White, if yo' was a well man
yo' could wallop that critter befo' I
could make a hoecake, but yo've been
down the banks all summer, and yo'
can't git well in a week. I'm sorry
yo' passed yo'r word, but bein' it's
passed we'll hev to abide by it I'll
git whisky and roots tomorrer and
brace yo' up.' "
"And did you get better?" I asked.
"No; I got wuss. Whisky and roots
didn't do me no good. When the wek
was. up I was in bed and too feeble to
walk across the room. That pesky crit
ter knowed jest how it was with me,
and yit he cum and stood In front of
the cabin and shouted to the ole wo
man: " 'Would yo' do me the everlastin'
kindness to tell him to step out yere
while I chaw his ears off and stay my
hunger?'
" 'He's sick abed just now, but if
yo'll cum back arter dark he'll make
yo eat grass and beller like a calf!'
" 'Then yo' kin be lookln' for me.
Widder White, I'll be kinder sorry to
see death take him fr'm yo', but I must
bev him fur my forty -eighth victim.
Good arternoon. Widder White, good
arternoon."
"I cried myself to sleep, and it was
arter dark when I woke up. That thar
varmint had cum back, 'cordin' to
promise, and was in front of the cabin
a-shoutin':
" 'Zeb White, the time has cum fur
yo' to be pulverized. Mebbe I won't
do no mo' than chaw yo'r ears off and
cripple yo' fur life, but I'll do that much
fur shore.'
"Jest about the time he begun to hol
ler my ole woman begun to git outei
her clothes and inter mine.
" 'What yo' gwine to do?' sez I.
' 'Gwine out to wallop that critter or
die!' sez she..
t'Tt wasn't no use to talk to her. When
she got all dressed up she looked like a
man. and as she stood in the door that
varmint cwicked his heels together and
crowed like a tooster."
"And about the ght?" I asked as
Zeb was silent for several minutes.
"It was full of surprises," he answer
ed. "That varmint was only a blow
hard arter all. The ole woman walked
. around him two or three times and
then sailed in. He hollered at the first
jump and tried to git away, but she
wouldn't let him. She scratched, kick
ed and pulled ha'r, and when she final
ly let up on him he wouldn't hev looked
wuss if half a dozen b'ars had played
with him. I've seen a heap of men
walloped, but he was the wallopedest
man of the hull lot"
"And how did Mrs. White come out
of it?"
"She didn't git a scratch, but I've
alius bin sorry about it"
"Why?" I asked.

Describing a Railroad.
.. The Pali Mall Gazette In 1890 asked
its readers to name the worst railway
in England And one English kicker
answered thus: "Sir The Southeastern
railway is the very worst railway in
the world The engines are asthmatic.
Its lamps are trimmed by foolish vir
gins. Its fares are excessive. Its car
riages let in the snow In winter and
are furnaces in summer.- Its motto is
unpunctuality. Its principal station is
approached through the neck of a bot
tle. It ruins the temper, destroys the
digestion and enables Bne to realize
the horrors of Dante's 'Inferno.' I
am, sir, yours obediently, the Worm
Who Turns."
