An effort has been made to convince the teachers in the public schools that the only way to increase their pay is by the passage of a SI,OOO saloon license law. This is merely an evasion of a serious question. No one knows what the effect of a high license law will be in Indiana The revenue derived from such a law is bound to be uncertain. It may be more or it may be less than that produced by the present law. But no one can say how much more or how much less. It is all in the air. If the Republican party had managed the state’s affairs with economy Instead of with wasteful extravagance ft might now be able to make provision for increasing the pay of teachers without adding to the tax levy. But it did not do this. If the Republican majority in the present legislature really wants to favor the teachers it can do it definitely by cutting down expenses in other directions. If it won’t do this, it can borrow money on the state’s bonds or it can make a higher tax levy. Or what is better it can transfer the 3-cent sinking fund levy, which produces $500,000 a year, from the general fund for the benefit of the teachers. The proposition to make better pay for the teachers dependent upon the unknown effect of a license law of questionable utility is little short of an insult. There is no assurance that such a law can be passed. There is no general demand that such a law should be passed. And the teachers, if they want definite results, should direct their efforts toward a more effective method to bring them about. President Roosevelt is thinking of appointing a negro to the office of surveyor of customs at Cincinnati. That, of course, is to please Senator Foraker, the valiant defender of the colored man and brother against all comers, even the President of the United States. NOTICE.

A BIG SNOW STORM Strikes the City of Washington THE PRESIDENT ENJOYED IT Slipped From White House and Took a Four Mile Walk by Himself Last Night. Washington, Feb. 6. —The capital last night suffered the most severe blizzard and snow storm since 1899. This morning over eight inches of snow covered the ground. It was learned today that last night was one after the president's own heart, one that reminded him of the days when he was plain Teddy Roosevelt, a cowboy, on he far western plains. While the secret service men were not looking he slipped out of the White House the back way and took a long tramp in the snow, through the Mall, up to Georgetown and back, a dstance of four miles. He went utterly alone and enjoyed it immensely, it being one of the few times since he has been in office that he could do as he pleased and without a guard.

Jesse Niblick proved the most consistent bowler on the K. of C. team and his remarkable form surprised even his most ardent admirers.

THE STICKLEBACK. After Winning ■ Fight His Colors Take on Brighter Him. Most courtly and gallant of fish is the three splned stickleback, the beloved “tiddler” of British youth. These little fish derive their name from the sharp spines with which they are armed and which they can raise or depress at will. The female atickleback la the model wife of a model husband. She does not leave her eggs to chance, but establishes a nest or nursery for their reception, over which her Irritated little husband keeps a jealous guard. Woe betide the rival “tiddler” whs rashly approaches too closely the domicile of his neighbor during the breeding season. With all his spines fixed for action the warlike parent steams out to offer him battle. The contest that ensues is desperate, the combatants darting at each other with lightning rapidity, biting and striking at each other with their spines, a well directed cut from which weapon of offense will often rip up the body of the adversary, sending him to the bottom. But most remarkable of all is the decoration which nature bestows upon the victor. The brilliant green of his mall becomes tinged with gold, while his red throat blushes to a deeper hue than ever. On the other hand, his vanquished assailant, should he be fortunate enough to escape with his life from the battle, loses his brilliant and martial uniform of red. green and gold and retires to some obscure corner of his native pond, attired in a humble civilian uniform of sober and sorrowful gray.— Dundee Advertiser.

Parisians’ Bread. There is no city in the world where so much bread is consumed as in Paris. It is estimated that every Inhabitant eats one pound a day on the average. Even in past centuries the French —especially Parisians—had a horror of stale bread. And, as in those days people manufactured their own bread, they bad a curious way of making it palatable. Strange as it may seem, the bread they prepared—huge round or square slabs—was used as a dish on which the meat was carved and bore the name of “tranchoirs.” or "tallloirs.” The jnice of the meat having penetrated into the bread imparted a pleasant taste and prevented It from becoming dry. High Priced Copy. During the siege of Kimberley the editor of the only dally paper there was often hard put to find enough news. One day in a clubroom he foand Cecil Rhodes reading a fairly new paper from Cape Town. He borrowed It and rushed to his own office, where It soon reappeared as a special edition, selling like hot cakes. That same evening he met Rhodes, who Inquired. “Where's my Cape Town paper?’ “Oh, I cut it up for the printers,” was the reply. "Please don’t do that again,” said Rhodes mildly. "That paper came through my native runners and cost me $1,000.” . —■■ o- ■ To stop a cold with Preventics is safer than to let run and cure it afterwards.
