AT M. E. MEETING Which Was Held at Washington, D. C. Feb. 25— Large Attendance The meeting of the department of superintendents of the N. E. A. which convened in Washington, D. C., on February 25th was the largest in the history of the department, there being over 2,000 in attendance. One of the most Important topics discussed was The Saving of Time and Energy in School Work.” by Supt. S ,L. Teeter of Saint Paul. Owing to the great demand upon the schools, Supt. Heeter took the ground that some means must be found whereby work can be simplified and unnecessary subjects eliminated. He closed his paper with the following recommendations: First, Let school authorities get together on such simplification of academic sub- | ject matter in the first six grades of our elementary schools as will afford a practical basic training to every I child a broad basis of general culI lure and efficiency for every boy, I however humble, the home and how .ever circumscribed the course of his I destiny. Second, Our elementary . schools, even in the first six grades, must offer the largq number who eni ter industrial life, an opportunity at | least, to cultivate industrial intelleci tual side of vocation, which is the ; result of Co-ordination of all round . indlbstriap pnd mentlal training.

A SCHOLARLY TALK He Made a Powerful Plea to His Hearers—Will be Promoted Rev. B. Earl Parker who is among the ablest young ministers in the north Indiana conference delivered one of the most scholarly sermons that has ever been heard in this city Sunday morning at the M. E. church. Selecting as his theme "Sheltering Manhood" he indulged in an hour’s talk which was replete with oratory and and logic. When the government of Judea was threatened with destruction” said Rev. Parker, Isaiah one of the great politicians of the day guided the country’s interests safely through the crisis and in consideration of the fact that the king was far from aggressive, such a man was greatly needed and was furnished by the Almighty.” Vividly he illustrated how history is repeating itself in that we are now experiencing trying times in this nation. He mentioned how heroically the secretary of the treasury of the United States came to the rescue at the beginning of the money stringency. Ke said further ‘‘Clod expects every man to be a shelter to some one weaker than himself. In times of national crisis God has always provided such a man” he continued and closing he made a powerful plea that his hearers become a shelter to some one, whom they could help, and bless the day in which they live. The discourse was fine and it represented hundreds of facte that were indeed intenesting. Rev. Parker is scheduled for promotion at this conference which he well deserves. o THEY PASSED THE ALDRICH BILL Currency Sill Passed the United States Senate. Washington. March 30. —The senate passed the Aldrich currency bill by a vote of 42 to 16„ in the main a party vote. The Bailey substitute, authorizing the government instead of the national banks, to issue the emergency circulation for which the bill provides, was defeated by a vote of 42 to 13. This vote was entirely partisan, even Senator LaFollette casting his vote with the republicans. The bill had been before the senate since January 2. An interesting feature of the passage of the bill was a reiteration by Mr. Aldrich of his promise to bring in a bill for an investigation of the entire banking system of the country with a view to instituting reforms. o —■ WILL LEAVE FOR THE SOUTH. James Davis Wil! Go Thursday— Others to Follow. James Davis, the «exiient contractor, of Portland, was here today completing arrangements for his trip to southI ern Tennessee, where he has a contract to build five miles of cement sidewalk this season.

Try Steele, of Pleasant Mills, was a business caller today.

THE MULE IN THE JUG. ’ An Arab Proverb and the Logand That Gave it Birth. Who can affirm that the mule st> tered the jug? This proverb is frequently quoted to show that, though one may conscientiously believe in a thing which may seem extravagant in itself, it is better not to repeat it from fear of being disbelieved. It arises from the following Arabic legend: An Arab who denied the existence of genii once bought * mule and took it home. When performing his evening ablutions, he saw the mule enter a jug. and thia so scared him that he ran shouting to the neighbors and told them what he had seen. They, thinking him mad. endeavored to appease him, but all in vain. He vociferated more and more, so that the authorities sent him to the madhouse. hen the doctor came to see him, he repeated the account of what he had seen, whereupon the doctor ordered him to be detained. He continued upon each visit of the doctor to repeat his statement until his friends succeeded in persuading him that if he wished to regain his freedom he must recant. Thia he did, and the doctor set him at liberty, to the great joy of his family and friends. On making his ab- ; lutious as before he again saw the mule, this time peeping out of the Jug. but on this occasion he contented himself with remarking to the mule: ‘‘Oh, yes. I see you weii enough, but who would believe me? And I have bad enough of the madhouse.” Needless to say that the genii to avenge thenselves for his disbelief in them had transformed one of themselves into a mule and as such entered the jug,— Cairo (Egypt) Sphinx. A ROCKING STONE. New York's Souvenir of the Remote Glacial Period. Though tens of thousands ot persons I yearly see the great rocking stone of I Bronx park in New York city, few realize that ft Is the city’s most conspicuous souvenir of the glacial period, when all of this section was covered with an ocean of ice some 1,500 feet thick that was moving slowly toward the south. That pinkish bit of granite, weighing thirty tons, standing seven and onehalf feet above its rocky base, being ten feet broad and eight feet thick, came from the far north, carried tn the resistless icy arms of the glacier that swept over the continent down to this latitude, marking its path by depositing great bowlders as it moved and leaving scratches on the firm rocks beneath, from the sliding, grinding bits and masses of granite that settled to its base and were pushed along as it moved. This same bowlder left its mark on the bare face of the rocky hill to the north of It, in which lies the crocodile pool. There the scratches are visible today, pointing to where the bowlder stands and telling the story of part of its travels.

W’hen the melting ice departed from the great block of granite, it left it standing through the ages a rocking stone so delicately poised that a pressure of fifty pounds exerted on its most northern angle causes its apex to sway north and south about two Inches.—New York Herald. A Considerate Reporter. When the Maine was blown up the wife of Lieutenant Commander Wainwright was at her home in Washington. She had heard nothing of the news when she was awakened about 4 o’clock in the morning by a violent knocking at the door of her house. Finally Mrs. Wainwright rose and looked out of the window, asking what was the matter. A voice called out “Are you the wife of Lieutenant Commander Wainwright?” “Yes. What do you want?” “The Maine has been totally destroyed. We are reporters and wish for some Information about Mr. Wainwright.” Only this and nothing more. The shock caused the poor lady to fall in a dead faint, from which she did not rally for several hours, and, fortunately for her, it was then known her busband was not among the lost. Wouldn’t Tip It A Toronto man who visited Engtacd test summer appears to think that country the champion tip taker. He says: “Well, I had tipped every man from the swell gent who seemed to own the house of commons down to the hireling who gummed the wrong labels on my luggage, and I went into the waiting room on the landing stage at Liverpool to wash my hands of everything English, and what do you think stared me In the face when I had finished? A placard saying, ‘Please tip the basin.’ I’ll be hanged If I did!” Monuments. Dr. Griffin—l must say the world is very ungrateful toward our profession. How seldom one sees a public memorial erected to a doctor! Mrs. Gollghtiy—How seldom! Oh. doctor, think of our cemeteries! —London Answers. Doesn’t Always Follow. Because some men get over a fence safely with a loaded gun it is not always safe to assume that they won’t examine a mule's heels to settle a bet. —Washington Post Th® Difference. Upgardson — Doesn't Weerius bore you nearly to death? He talks like a phonograph. Atom —Not at all. When a phonograph runs down It stops.— Chicago Tribune. It Improves a girl’s looks immensely to be rich—New York press.

OBITUARY. Eli Presdorf son of Henry and Rose | Presdorf, was born on the Ist of I April, 1884, in French township ' Adams Co., eleven years ago last fall, j He accompanied his parents to Mich. ■ where they remained but three years. I They returned to Adams county and i settled on a farm. In October 190« he entered upon active business life in our city of Decatur. On the 7th of November that same year he was united in marriage to Miss Sadie Huebner. This union was blessed with a sweet little baby boy. Loran Edward who was born on the 18th of October, 1907. Mr. Presdorf began to attend our Sunday school and church services (German Reformed) and after receiving careful religious instructions, was baptized on the 24th of March, 1907, ' a week later he was received as a communicant member of the church. He lived a quiet, unassuming and happy life and had good prospects of a bright future. During the latter days I of September, 1907, some malady began to undermine his health and strength, and soon forced him to take to his bed. After several weeks he rallied sufficiently to attend to his duties at his place of business. The hope of regaining his full strength and vigor was again blighted by some sickness secretly, but effectually working upon his already weakened constitution. Tubercular peritonitis had now developed to an alarming and very dangerous stage, so that the best skill of the attending physicians was of no avail. The surgeon had to be called and heroically Mr. Presdorf endured three opegatlonp. The first took place on the 12th of February, 1907, and the last on the 24th of March, 1908. It was during this time that, his true character shone forth. Ail his sufferings revealed the patient and friendly man. Rarely did words of complaint pass over his lips and even when greatly discouraged, he clung to life as to a precious gift of God. The prayer he so often prayed, clothed in biblical language was: “O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me! nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou wilt.” Wednesday evening a sudden change was noticed in his condition and shortly after he became uncon- ; scious. Slowly he sank away until dea‘h relieved him. Wednesday night 1 March 25th, 1908. at 15 minutes after ' ten o'clock his soul took fiight and ( we trust, to where God shall wipe . away all tears from their eyes; and > there shall be no more death, neither sorrow nor crying, neither shall there

be any more pain. The deceased brother reached the age of 23 years, 11 months and 24 days. His devoted and baby child, his mother, father, three brothers, two sisters many other relatives and friends remain to mourn his early departure. "■ ■■ o BOTH WELL KNOWN Live in South Part of County —L. C. DeVoss Filed the Suit Attorney L. C. DeVoss filed a breach of Promise case in circuit court late Saturday evening, Mary A. Cully being the plaintiff and Frederick Bauman the defendant. The parties live in the south part of the county, where both are quite well known. The complaint says that during the sunny month of June last, when the perfume of roses and the general delights of the awakening summer cause men to turn their thoughts to dreams of love, Fred proposed to Mary and she accepted him. After a few months he seemed to want to forget that promise, but with his affianced bride it was a case of more genuine sincerity and on November 15th she reminded him of his promise but he refused to make good and has since refused so to do. During the time of the engagement Maryrefused other offers of marriage which would have protected her against the necessities of life, having faith in the . one of her choice. As a consequence Mrs. Cully feels that she has been | damaged to the extent of $2,000 and asks judgment for that amount and ( for all further relief. Mrs. Cully has been married twice before, while Mr., Bauman is a young man, who has nev-1 er entered upon a matrimonial career, i ; — I Whether gravel road bonds will sell or not doesn't seem to bother Blackford county, nless they have a tip down that way that they will, as the commissioners of that county are advertising thirteen roads for sale April 7, under the three mile and under law Up to the present time there is nothing new on the bonds in this county selling. In the neighborhood of $4.000 interest has accumulated on the whole series by this time, which would be velvet to the buyer,—Bluffton Banner.

That District No. 3 has had a successful school year was demonstrated to the public by the unanimous consent of the patrons at the closing day Friday. Sometime ago they decided to render a program and give a dinner, and all parties concerned done their parts to perfection. The patrons began to gather early in the day and with them came the many good necessary for a substantial dinner in as much as pies, cakes,

chickens and the many otner dainties of the housewife were carried in by the tubfuls. At twelve o’clock dinner was served to nearly two hundred people and then good things were to spare. After dinner various games, consisting of racing, toad-over and jumping were indulged in by large and small until one-thirty o'clock when the program began. Among the best features were music by Mr. N. H. Oliver and Miss Anna Smith. Speeches solos, and dialogues by the scholars I made up the rest of program. Each patron present made remarks in which I all stated the entire satisfaction of ( the school and teacher and hoped to land him for a second term. Mr. Oliver received as a token of their appreciation an elegant mirror and as this was last the people became inclined to look very seriously upon tha matter, and nearly all were in tears when dismissed. Mr. Oliver is among the b"st of Monroe’s young men and we predict for him a successful career flfe a teacher. ■'' - o The students in th® Goshen high school had a mock trial yesterday afternoon, which proved to be a very pleasant diversion. Robert Beck was arrested for assault and battery on Donald Whitmer. Frank P. Abbott, jr. and Howard Inebnit appeared as attorneys for the state and Hugh Naylor and Orlo Deahl as counsel for the defense. The trial was conducted before Charles R. Parker as judge. Carleton Warrick was clerk and Carl Whisler bailiff. After a spirited contest in which both sides displayed considerable shrewdness, the defendant was found not guilty. The following constituted' the jury: Helen Chamberlain. Ethel Sherwin, Donald Payne, Lester Phillips, Louiseßrownell, Joyce Kinney: Calvin Madlem, Ruth Stennn, Francine Harriman and Nelson Blough. —Goshen Democrat.
