A ietilioi las Un. Fiuned by over 3,tVU :. , Vhicajjo te.chers asking that the measure be alopted The pension fui.d is to 1h gather ed from the following sources: All linen or parU of f alaries deduct ed for tbeenca of teachens; au assessment of one per cent, per an num on all salaries of those who are to be the beneficiaries of the law; all donations Riven by friends of the teachers for this special pur pose; all legitimate increment from judicious investment of tlio unused portion of the fund from year to year. The fund will be in charge of the city treasurer, and will he contiolid by the board of education, the city supcintendent of school?, and two elected representatives ol the teachers. The bills give the board the right to retire nny woman teacher who lias taught or rendered other service in public schools for a period ag gregating twenty years, and any iiitu w ho has been in the school service for twenty-five years. Such teachers shall also have the ri;bt under this act to retire voluntarily and claim the pension, provided three-fifths of their period of service has been spent in Chicago. The pension in every case 13 to be one half the pay received just previous to retirement, providing this does not make an amount larger than $ 1,000 a year. The board 13 to have the right to reduce the pen sions if necessary to make the pay ments conform .with the funds in hand. .; u : "Jost My Luck." The expression, "Just my lack," is a favorite one with many boys "and girls. It would be well to have them memorize the following proverbs by Mr. Cobden: Luck is waiting for something to turnup. Labor like keen eye3 and strong will, will turn up something. Luck lies in bed and wishes the postman would bring him news of Labor turns out at six o'clock, mid with a busy Den or rinsing hammer lays the foundation of a competence Luck whines. Labor whist'es. Luck relies on chances. Labor, on character. . Luck slips down to indigence. Labor strides upward to indepen dence. A State Quiz. What state once gave ft "tea- 1 party?" v Name the state that was once : -i j . ui:f 3. What state is the child of the rebellion? 4. Xame the "fr.thn of p. Journal of Education. The above will prove an inter estine exercise for a class in geography. Such lessons given frequently will relieve the monot ony of every day work. Why not have a similar quiz for the associa tion meetings? The questions should be on educational topics psychology or pedagogy. Question and answer should be brief. Law students in our schools have quiz- rooms and. the "quiz'' is a part of their regular work. It might be made interesting and profitable to teachers. r We suggest that Prof. Reynolds prepare , a short list of questions for Che next meeting. KEPOSTS. - POLK STATION PUBLIC SCHOOL.

But Eugene takes the cake with a prominent society lady under arrest for sending obscene matter to other prominent Eugene ladies through the mails. What will the women do next? Times. It having been customary for Coos county prisoners to take "French leave," when they did not relish their treatment, the follow ing statement of the Marshfield Mail may be understood: "While work is progressing on the jail, the prisoners have been placed in the town jail, where they have had a reception every evening. Good music is furnished by Canning'i! string band, and songs and dances make night hideous. It looks as if the prisoners are held in high esteem by the county officials and everything is being done to make their stay as delightful as possible."

Inside were ten head of horses, a carriage and buggy, harness, 150 bushels of wheat, a quantity of oats and hay and farm tools. The barn burned like tinder, and nothing could be done to save any of the horses or contents. One colt broke loose and jumped out through an open shed, but the rest were consumed.
