HAARLEM OIL Prospector Tells of I Real Cold Weather I Ifle recent news story from Alaska bout the reindeer freezing In a cold nap of uous'ial severity has been .verified by naturalists, who say that anlmtls of the kind used by Santa iCIaui before the advent of the air plane frequently froze to death when gced was scarce and they lost their Irotectlre roHs of fat But now comes the Seattle Times with a story of smother color. It concerns the late JDtin Patterson, famous gold musher, (who In 1000 experienced weather that night be called really chilly.

VhI A Oe, CHAPTER V Continued 12 Meely decided that for at least a few weeks she could breuthe, freely, and feel comparatively secure from tie danger of a visit. And that very morning, Just after recess time, as the children were trooping in from the playground, he walked In on her. "Oh, dear, yon here again P she tpeuly lamented at he, without offer ing her his hand, bowed rather curtty and drew forth a platform chair not, however, seating himself while she stood, a courtesy to which she had, for so many months, been a stranger, that it thrilled her, to her amusement, almost as much as St Croix "mau lers" had thrilled Nettle the night be fore. "I'm here,' he grimly stated, stand ing behind his chair and folding bis srtnt with a resolute, Napoleonic air that made her heart sink, "to hear you teach geography!" "Here I stand so help me Gawd!" she mocked at his determined mien. "Martin Luther!" "And I dont leave this schoolroom until I have heard your "Oh, geeP she sighed. He set his lips and stared straight ahead of him. "I've bad this school on my con science since you yourself admitted that yon cant teach. We cant let these children suffer from your ex cuse me Incompetence. Will you call a geography class. Miss Schwenck tonr Did he or did he not hesitate over her Dame? She could not feel sure. "But why this passionate Interest la geogrsphyr she complained. "Arent you longing to see me teach spelling? HI call a spelling class" "Geography, if you please." . "I suppose," she said accusingly, "you Just want to expose me as not knowing any geography of the United States! Well, If you call that chival rous" "I'm not here to be chivalrous, but to hear you teach." "Why wont spelling dot" "I prefer geography." "Just because I Jokingly pretended to think there were forty-seven states instead of fifty-seven tend told you that when I writ a mere child, I thought the Mississippi river ran east and westP "Exactly." "WjU," she said reflectively, "well, Mr. Crelghton, before I take your re quest into consideration, will you tell me what is the extent of your power over my Jobt Can you take It from meP "I can advise your school board to take it from you. But" be nastily added, "of course I don't want tot I'd bate like the dickens" Again he pulled himself up. "I should greatly dislike," he said primly, "to resort to such stringent measures." "That's better sounds more profes sional, she encouraged him. "Be professional or dleP The children of the school were all K.'ted now rigidly upright in the presence of that magnate, the county superintendent and Mely could no longer dally with the situation; she must decide what to do. She might repeat the successful geograpuy lesson she bni already glvnn that morn ing on Italy though a deliberate repetition of the whole performwje would be so astonishing to the chil dren ss to be eir.barraslng to their teacher I For Venice, she had given them the songs of tho gmdoUers, and Impersonations of Portia and Shy'ock ; for Naples, street beggars and coral workers; for Rome, impersonations of Caesar and Mrk Antony with tales of gladiators lntfpersed; for Flor ence, impersonate ' M of Savonarola and the MeClcL a! jch more than the school had been able to digest at one dose, but she hsd enjoyei It feeling bow cleverly she was aolng It ah, there was the rub! She did It too cleverly, too professionally. She could not risk offering It to Marvin Crelgh ton. Well, then, nothing left but to try to give a geography leeson In the pro saic, uninteresting way she had seen it done In a school she had visited, where the teacher, for a weary half hour, had bad the children telling glibly what states enclosed other states. What had the teacher called that a certain word she bad used? "I'll bore this man so he'll keep swey from here for the rest of bis life!" she determined. "Zehllls," she addressed the bright est girl of the class that she sum moned to stsod before the desk, while she and the superintendent now sat behind It, "enclose the state of Penn sylvania." Zehllla looked blank. "What's that fm to dor "F.nclose Pennsylvania," repeated Meely confidently. Zebllla still looked unenlightened even dazed. 1 wouldn't know how to. I dont know right how you mean- enclose Itl" Meely sew she had gotten the wrong word. "I mean eurround It; tell what states, If any, surround It or of the Minute By HELEN R MARTIN what bodies of water, or whatever dors enclose, surro.ind or circum scribe Itl" she explained desperately. Ach, do you nicer:, Miss Schweuck- ton, I'm to bound Pennsylvania?" "That's the word yes, bind It." A snort from the county superin tendent was a signal for the nmazed school and they broke Into a rar ot laughter that revealed to the embar rassed teacher how seriously she had erred. Her fare flushed crimson. She tinted this monster Bitting on her plat form laugh 'ii till the desk shook! Siie rapped for order. The ichool became quiet "Proceed," she said to Zehllla coldly. "Pennsyl-wanla la bounded on the north" When Zebllla bad finished. Meely took as long a time ss possible In drilling ber to pronounce the letter V by catching her lower lip between ber teeth. She prolonged this drilling to the point of absurdity, for If she called on any other pupil of this class to bound a state, she herself would hsve to keep ber eyes glued to the map to see that they got It right With Zehllla Zook that had not been neces sary, for Zebllla could be depended upon to answer correc'l. She always knew her lentous with depressing thoroughness. So It was not until the poor girl became restive and resent ful under her prolonged drilling that the teacher desisted. 'Bind Connecticut IUram," she at last proceeded most reluctantly. "Connecticut is bounded on the north by Massachusetts, on the east by Ithode Island" 'Oh, come, an Island cant bind any thing. What Is an Island, Illramr she asked, very pleased at Hiram's blunder, for here she could be sure oMier ground; she did at least know the forms of land acd water! "But Rhode Ialund," sa'd Illram, gazing at her almost In horror, "alu't no Islaiid " Her finger on the map, she conld see for herself, now, that It wasn't and turning hot and cold with con sternation, she yet tried to save her self. "Very good, niram I was try ing to catch you up 1 Of course we sil know how it cam to be called an Island? Zebllla r But Zebllla, her stand by, fatted her. there she did not knowl Til ask the class," said Meely has tily, "to look that up for next lesson." She feared she was not succeeding In her plot to "bore" the superintend ent She saw, In a quick side glance, that he looked anything but bored. Indeed, he seemed to be enjoying him self. Probably he'd stay the rest of the day! Oh, bow she hated and de spised him I Conceited pedagogue I Alter a few more states had been bou.'id (her eyes and finger fastened the while to the map) she heaved a sigh of relief and dismissed the class to their seats. "Now you've had your heart's de sire and have heard me teach geogra phy. What further,"' she Inquired with dignity, "can I do for your "I leave It to you," he bowed, mak ing no, move whatever to go. She decbted to call up a rending class. There were no serious pitfalls for her In American literature. That b. If she could manage to resist the temptation to act out the rustling les son. In case it happened to be a "piece" (aa tho pupils would say) that lured her to a dramatic execution of It! She settled that danger by ordering the class to turn to a spcb of Theo dore Roosevelt's.' And too late she realized her mistake. The speech (bounded In political allusions which none but a native American . would understand. If only no one asked any questions! They so seldom did mani fest curiosity about anything out It would be Just Ilka the perversity of fate to Inspire one of them to show off before the superintendent A hand was raised the youngest little girl In tbe class. "Please, Miss Scbwenckton, what does 0.

It became a practice among Jews at the time they returned from tbe Babylonian exile In tha Fifth century before the common era. Intermarriage, however, has taken place among Jews at all times. The reason why -Jews hsve clung to tlie tradition of Abraham and the enact ment of Kzrt lies In the psychology of group consciousness, especially as this Is welded by the religious Ideal.

"Come, come, don't cry) Tou're not going to be thrown out of your school and I swear I won't laugh at you any moreP She wiped her nose and her eyes with a corner of the towel. "I'd bet ter reslgnl" she said dolefully, "or you'll be lying awake nights thinking of all tbe education those children era missing Just because yon were too weak to wlthstsnd a girl's tears P "Well." he said ruefully, though gently, "yoa have got me up a tree, yoa know I How you ever got a Kut towa Normal school diploma no your knowledge of Un'ted States geogra phy" She showed signs of weeping again, so he hastily veered off. "All right, let's never mention geography again I I da admit that the pupils In your school are more alert and wide awska than any children In tbe county I There, doesn't that comfort yonr She smiled dazzllngty through her tears. "Oh, but then Tm a success as a teacher! since the whole pur pose 'f teaching children must be to brighten up their wits, not to s'uff states and names into them I It ia not what I poor lnt0 taem bnt ",t 1 lead tl.em to give out!" "Ah, yes, but there's a lot of nec essary drudgery In teaching which cant be aide-stepped, my child ; which really must ba dope.

Union With Gentiles ethical will among the peoples of the world Is also a rest factor motivated by the desire to hcd to Its mission In the world and, probably, also by tbe fear lest Intermarriage should weaken the force for carrying out its mission. Vain Search for Treamre An Australian miner spent part ef his life In the bush trying to reflnd a mine his partner found and died la destlblng. But be never succeeded, and, eventually, the bushmen stumbled on bis skeleton. A party of French scientists narrowly escaped doatb from thirst in the Sahara seeking traces of a lost caravan of precious atones that never reached Tlmbuctoo, aid was supposed to hsve been overwhelmed by a sandstorm, lost lta tracks, ar missed the wells. Hard to Get Around Ignorance Like This Dr. Van Fnrdlcnh of the American bedlcnl commission, recently assigned to work In the Neur Knst, rtminrked that medical effectiveness In the Ori ent would never be established until the tnimsos were better educated.
