the most prosperous of that denomina
tion anywhere. At the meeting next

Mr. Gavin thought a money value
would result by a higher salary to the
teacher. Mr. Ackerman said that when
a good position was opened it was the
best teacher who was employed. Mies
Hill read an interesting paper on the
subject, the principal points of which
were:. The training gives confidence.
The country teacher needs broad cul
ture for influence, for routine school
work, to interest his pupils, and the
primary teacher needs high school work
to train her in accuracy, to give her a
high ideal and win the respect of the
pupils.
Several teachers are now enrolled as

Horses for the Army.
Finest of the Season.
they go to the sheath, because a horse
with a good sheath makes a good and
serviceable animal, whereas a poor
sheath indicates weakness. The hind
lege are then once more examined to see
that they are sound before the horse ie
put upon the scales and his supposed
weight confirmed. A saddle is then put I
upon the horse and he is taken outside.
He is first walked, then trotted, and
afterward galloped. Lastly he is given
a. hard run to learn that his wind is
good and that his heart is all right.

The opinion of several who have at
tended the band concerts regularly is
that the one yesterday was the finest of
all. Every number' was very pretty.
"A Night in Berlin" was a very pretty
combination of German airs interlarded
among less familiar but more classic
music. . The cornet duet was charming.
and the cornet solo was also pretty.
The deECriptive piece received the first
encore of the season, and though some
what surprised, the band responded.
leasant features "of the piece are the
inging of birds and the mill slowing
own. The concerts are made more.
pleasant by the free distribution of pro
grams.which enable one to have a better
understanding of the music. The band
deserve much credit for submitting to
the heat and discomfort of these hot
days to cater to the pleasure of others
by playing to them. The audience,
however, is always appreciative and
honor the band with generally close at
tention. Next Sunday the concert will
begin later owing to the heat of the
afternoon. ' ;

Only thirteen out of 180 horses shown
at Pendleton were accepted for army use
by the inspector, Mr. Frazier. The rigid
examination which disqualified over 93
per cent of the entire number is well
shown by the Pendleton Tribune, which
tells what the horses had to undergo be
fore being selected for the comfortable
stables of army life, With men for ser
vants as well as masters:
The horses were first brought before
the eagle-eyed inspectors on the stable
floor. They there took a quick general
look at the animal, and often, in this
first cursory glance, some flaw was de
tected which disqualified the horse.
Should bis symmetry and individuality
fill the requirements he was then exam
ined as to size, height, weight and color.
Should the horse pass muster in these
particulars, search is made for bone or
blood spavins, big curbs or ringbones,
and if any are found he is thrown out.
If found free of these defects, and has a
good small head with perfect eyes, nice
neck, good shoulder, good straight legs,
hind legs well set under the body, good
withers and breast, strong back, good
big belly, nice, round smooth, muscular
hips, well-developed, broad haunches;
if his teeth are sonnd, and indicate the
necessary age, and if be has not a par
rot mouth in which the upper front
teeth overlap the lower, a final examina
tion is made for small splints and small
ringbones, crooked feet and crooked
legs, side bones. The feet are closely
examined and then the back to see that
it is suitable for saddle purposes, and
strong enough to carry the weight of the
soldier, and his trappings, 250 pounds.
They see that his hips are not knocked
down. . Having examined ' the tail,

An unusual publication is that of a
Chicago publishing house, who are get

and the Men." It is devoted to the
campaign cf 1896, and is designed, tr'om
