COMPULSORY EDUCATION
The stats superintendent advisss a
compulsory ichool Uw. Such
law, id forced, would be quite the
proper thing, but if Aekermao
wants ml reform in ichool work
he will take a stuffed club and
knock several kinds of excelsior ont
of the course of study. There is
hardly a physician of repute, or
business man of intelligence, but
will tell Mr. Ackerman that his
course of study is a delusion and a
snare and an imposition on the
child mind. Today, in this state,
there are thousands of boys, six
teen and eighteen years of age, who
have poshed through a course of
study a great deal like football is
played, and they have no concep
tion of what they have passed
through. Revision of the school
system is what is wanted. The
fault does not lay with teachers
Abolish ths course of study, make
a new and reasonable one, aud then
follow with a compulsory school
law, and Oregon will move up in
her school work. At present, thor.
onghness is sacrificed lo freak ideas
and practical politics.
i Taft wants the presidency badly,
and his friends give it out that he
is "receptive," but not aggressive.
Taft is a professional, when it comes
to politics, snd he is after the nom
ination like a hound pup after a
porterhouse steak, and all this talk
of being "receptive" is folderol.
Taft and the big corporations are
agreeable; he is a stand-patter, and
be thinks he can show us the prop
er kind of adminiairation. It be
gins to look as though he has been
singled' out by the big mit men,
who are sscriScing Fairbanks, be
cause he is "too chilly," and not
liked by the ordinary voter, who
wants to see a man of flesh and
blood. In this regard, however,
they are merely running from i
piece of whang leather to a moun
tain of fat. What's in avordupois,
anyway?
' GOOD ROAD WORK
Supervisor Thos. Emrick is trying
the "drag", plsn on the road lead
ing to the north from town, and
results are more than satisfactory
The principle of drainage is in
volved to a large degree, and when
rains corns each side of the road
from the center will furnish a water
shed. If the work makes good
when the rsins come it is mors
than likely that county road work
will be largely modelled on this
plsn. Ths county court has agreed
to give the plan a thorough trial
and by spring it will be demon
strated beyond a doubt.

The Thirsty Nan Took
Advantage of the Occasion
AN enterprising boy about thirteen
years old set op In the lemonade
business on a ahady corner the
other day, and be started oil with a
bright Idea. He put up a sign of
"Cold lemonade 5 cents a glass, or
all you can drink for 7 cents." A
tall, thin woman, who liked to see boys
get along, took a drink at 5 cents.
bat no other customer came along for
half an hour. Then a stevedore, who
was going borne from the docks, came
along with his bat In bis hand and bis
mouth as dry as cotton. The boy ought
to have known by the build of the d
that he was a human tank, but ne
never suspected a thing. He called out
his stock In trade, and the man turned
aside and said: -
"Lemonade? Bless me, yes."
"AH you csn drink for T cents,"
announced the lad.
"Is that square T"
"Tes. sir."
"Then here's your money and I takes
advantage of the occasion."
The boy's stock consisted of a full
four quart pitcher. The man picked It
up, got a lean against the fence and
gulped down a quart without drawing
breath.
"Tastes good very good," be said as
he stopped for a moment "Be liberal,
bub, and yon'H be happy."
He drank another quart and then
paused to query:
"In business for yourself, sonny?"
Tea."
"Too young Too many cares. I'll
help you get out of It."
He got a brace for bis feet, threw his
bead back and raised the pitcher, and
when be set It down the contents were
gone and the boy bad lost 100 per cent
on bis stock and was practically bank'
nipt
'If you are here when I come along
about 5 o'clock this evening I'll take
the other gallon coming to me," said
the man as be wiped bis mouth and
passed on, but the boy was not there.
He had gone Into business and ont

"So, you see, some one bad to stay at

'and I telephoned Gertie Bryan that I
would not come until tomorrow."
"I'm sorry," auswered llerakl Hol

"Well?" provoklugly.
"Cannot t come out?"
"Nor Tola with a little shriek. "It
would not be proper. You see, I am
entirely alone."
"Even the servants gone out?" he de
manded. Enid Allen gave a little laugh. "I
forgot to tell you. The cook and the
Bret girl went on strike this) afternoon.
They thought I could not get along
without them, and 1 let them go, Juat
to show them that I could. Then the
cdachman got drunk, and I had to dis
miss him."
"Why can't you go to Mrs. Carter's
for the night?" he suggested.
"There's an awful kit of money In the
safe." she answered. "I've got to stay
here and look after It Tou see, father
will need It tomorrow and won't bate
time to draw It when he gets back
here."
"Have you any means of protec
tion r he asked.
"I've got that revolver I used lo

"I'm glad of that" be began, "but

There came over the wire a succee
slon of wild shrieks, the sound of a
heavy fall, a shot more shrieks, a sec
ond crash and then alienee.
Frantically he shouted Into the trans
mitter, but no answer came, nor could
he bear a sound. He dashed the re
ceiver upon the hook and rushed across)

iens had a handsome country borne on
the shore of the lake. It was only tea
miles from the city, and Holland knew
that be could make It In an automobile
quicker than he could telephone to the
station five miles beyond and have po
lice help sent
A twenty-four horsepower touring
car was In the stable at the rear of the
house, with the tanks all filled In an
ticipation of an early run In the morn
ing. He was glad now that be bad
seen to It that the car was ready ta
go out
In less than five minutes be bad
donned furs, a leather cap and gog
gles and was tearing along the boule
vard as rapidly as be dared. Two
miles out the dty line was passed, snd
be threw the lever over to the highest
notch and with a tremendous spurt
the big car shot ahead.
It was known that Mr. Allen fre
quently kept large sums of money m
the bouse, and the discharged coach
man must have known that there was
money In the safe that night The do
mestics were out of the way; It would
be an easy matter to one familiar with
the bause to force sn entrance sod
overpower the weak girl.
Under bis breath he prayed that bo
might not be too late, but his fears
bad bold of blm, and In spite of the
rapid rush through the cold night ths
perspiration stood out upon bis fore-
bead.
He bad hoped to see her at the
Bryans' party that evening, and It was
the announcement that she would not
be there that bad led blm to call up
Enid on his early return from the
dinner which had preceded the dance.
He thought as be rushed along that
be would have asked ber to be bis
wife that evening. Now be wondered
If be would find her lying mortally
wounded upon the floor. Had she shot
the burglar she would have answered.
The shot must hare been meant for
her.
In less than twenty minutes be bad
covered the ten miles and stopped fhe
car before the big gates of the park
In wblcb the Allen bouse sat It
would be better, be argued, to gabs
access to the bouse quietly. - Feasibly
the assassin bad not yet left the piece.
It would take some time to force open
the safe.
There were lights in several of the
rooms downstairs, and at the rear be
found a door unlocked and softly en
tered. The telephone, he knew, was
In the hall on the second floor, and
thither he directed bis steps, but as
he passed the library be saw through
the open door a man stooping over the
safe, apparently at work on the com
bination. Before he could make a spring the
figure started up, and Gerald found
himself looking down the . barrel of a
dainty revolver the very weapon be
remembered! having seen Enlg jjse the

you doing here?' she asked. Then, as
tt aU came back to ber, "Have I killed
you?"
'Just a little flesh wound." he said
reassuringly. "It's nothing serious.
But bow do yon come to be In this
guise? I thought they had killed you."
It was a mouse," sue confessed
shamefacedly. "I wa talking to you
aud a great big mouse ran across the
fljor toward me. I threw the telephone
book at It and broke a vase, but tt ouly
ran toward me. I Jumped on a chair
and fired my revolver at It I was so
scared I did not know what I waa do

asked.
I tell off tbe chair and struck my
bead agalnat a corner. It stunued me
for awhile, and when I could get back
to the telephone you bad gone."
But bow about the clothes?"
Why, I thought there might be men
hanging around, so I put on father's
old coat and hat and went out on the
porch so that If there were burglars
about they would tbluk It was a man."
She opened the coat to show the
dainty bouse gown beneath, aud In
spite of tbe buralug of bta arm be had
to smile. "Then you came in and mis
took me for a burglar?" he laughed.
"That cap looked like a mask." she
said defensively.

claimed, "and yuu bad your coat collar

she said Idly, fitting the edges of tbe
torn place together.
The man looked at the small fare,
roy from the frosty morning air, and
noticed the short brown hair that
made 11 tt to curls around her forehead.
"I'm a brute to laugh," he said pen-
Itiutly, "but It waa so er sudden."
Ho wus In danger of offending again.
He took his handkerchief to brush
the mud from her dress.
"I'ou are evidently not accustomed

"I have never had such close ac

"I live In the city and am down here

A hint of shyness In her eyes made

a belt containing two six-shooters snd
a bowle knife around bis waist. Hs In

'Have I?" asked Lawrence Incredu
