DO MORE THAN MERE ROUTINE Teachers should enter upon their work with a firm resolve to do more than mere routine work —to simply go through the motion of imparting instruction to their pupils. The first thing to do is to study the nature and disposition of pupils and to start out with an honest purpose to win their respect, confidence and esteem. With, out this little can be accomplished with the average pupil. Next in importance is the cultivation of tact. A tactless teacher is certain to be a failure, no matter how well he or she may be educated. Tact is all-import-ant. It overcomes many difficulties and surmounts many obstacles. Politeness and courtesy should be strongly impressed upon the youthful mind as being cardinal virtues, and uncouthness and ruffianism should be adjudged vices. Principals of schools should be in constant touch with the teachers under their supervision and impress them with the importance of conforming to the ideas governing that particular school. The principal is the guiding star and should be so regarded by the teachers. —South Bend Times. The state platform recently adopted by the Maryland Democrats, contains

a plank favoring a tariff only for revenue and opposes the collection of more money from the people than is necessary to pay the expenses of economical government. The collection of $90,000,000 more taxes during the fiscal year ending June 30 than even the annual billion dollar appropriations called for was characterized as an outrage on the people. And so it is an outrage, hut congress when it meets next winter will find away to spend these ninety extra millions. The last congress spent two billions in two years and the next probably will get away with two and a half or three billions. —Huntington News-Democrat.

IS NOT YET CONVERTED. The Stand-Patters Getting Ready to Stand Pat. Washington, September 11. —Representative Dalzell, of Pennsylvania, one of the “stand-pat” Republicans of congress, who is here, was asked today if he had been converted to the revision doctrine during the summer. "Not yet.” he replied. “I do not believe that it is necessary to revise the tariff. I am in favor of letting it remain just the way it is at present The schedules have worked successfully and have built up the present prosperity of the country. However, there will probably be a declaration in the next Republican platform favoring revision. In that case I believe the tariff should be revised along conservative protectionist lines. I do not at the present time expect to see the question of revision made an issue in the campaign, unless in an incidental way. Senator Knox is the proper span to carry out such a policy, and, of course, I am in favor of his candidacy for the presidency. But it is too early to talk candidates. We yet have a session of congress be. fore us, the action of which will largely depend upon the president's message. Much may happen before the next campaign.” o— EMANUAL LUTHERAN CHURCH.

Kossman, of Convoy, Ohio, will preach in the afternoon. The public is invited to these services. G. Bauer, Pastor.

The antics of the players at times was most amusing, as at no time was fast fielding thought of, and it was up to the team that did the heaviest batting to win, and that team proved to be Decatur. Lacey, our old hoodoo, was on the slab for the visitors, and what the locals did to him was a plenty, and at the end of the second inning he gave up the ghost and hiked for the bench, which he w'armed for the remainder of the game. While Lacey lasted, singles and doubles came fast and furious, and it was a wonder that the heavy hitting did not bring down a thunderstorm instead of a mist. Heretofore Lacey has always proven effective against the locals, and as the manager of the vistors was contemplating taking three games, he sent our old foe in against.us and the way in which we evened up old scores was a shame. Cy Stout, a big six footer, essayed to take up the work where Lacey stopped, and did exceptionally well until the fifth inning, when a little batting rally let in three runs and Stout looked as if he was willing to give up the job, but no other available pitcher being on hand he was forced to stay. Lefty Richardson was selected to work for Decatur, and Captain Behringer certainly showed excellent judgment in using him, as he had everything, and showed that he was the candy kid when it came to handling a wet and slippery ball. Six hits w’as all the visitors could register in nine innings and he forced nine men to fan, not a bad record for a bad day. The hitting of the locals was all that could be asked for, and after getting on bases the boys ran wild, securing eight stolen bases off of Catcher Orr. The victory put us a tie with Richmond, as Bluffton proved herself to be the right team in the right place and now that we are on top, we are going to be hard to dislodge. The score tells the tale.

fortune to be hit on the hump by rhe ball, Lacey throwing it. Jim escaped uninjured. Again we are tied for first place. Lacey, our old hoodoo, did not have the goods and was Laceyed all over the lot. Cullen had his batting clothes on, securing four safe drives in five times up. The fifth time he fanned. Orr was an easy mark for the locals when it came to stealing bases, and the boys only pilfered eight. Orr s work in throwing to bases was decidedly off color. Only one error in the mud is quite a remarkable feat for any team; this lone black mark being to Witham, who could not take in a nasty throw. Richardson had the goods, and his delivery was unsolvable to the visitors, and he was only touched up for six bingles. He struck out nine men, but unfortunately hit three of the opposing batsmen. A double header is the bill for today, and the boys are going to work hard for two victories. If we can capture two games, our chances for the pennant look decidedly bright, but otherwise the complexion would be something awful. Let's all pull any way. The antics of both teams trying to field in the mud was very amusing, and evoked much laughter from the au. dience. p — NOTICE OF SALE OF MACADAM ROAD BONDS. Notice is hereby given that I. J. F.
