WOMAN VS. MEN TEACHERS.

"Do you think that women teachers like a boy seriously?" asks a father. It is a serious question. Female teachers are kind and gentle but some of them can ake mollycoddles out of boys if they set out about it.

Some boys can shake the early school day influences off as they go on to higher branches of education but the conviction is inherent in a lot of people that women teachers are doing wrong in trying to impress a boy with the fact that in order to be considered good he must act like some

nice little &rl who is held up as a "teachers model."

In some of the city schools, the system of having female teachers except in the elementary branches has been greatly criticized and changes are

-considered. It is held that it is necessary to employ men teachers and a high class of men in order to give the boys proper ideas of life, at an age

when they are most impressionable. There is another and a deeper side icize the" woman teacher as you may, the influence of some boys from the - beautiful natured woman teacher has

The Gary Commercial Club is getting a lot of advertising these days, advertising for both itself and for the city and it is good advertising. The club is setting an example which can be imitated by other organizations in the Calumet region without doing them anything but an immense amount of good. The Gary organization, composed of a lot of live wires who never take expense into account, is about to go on a junket all the way from Hammond to South Bend, that will make the various places along the line of march sit up and take notice. The trip will do Gary a lot of good. It is such things as these that is making Gar,y today. The example ought to be. emulated and some of the other sleepyhead cities in the Calumet region ought to get busy. Gary is going right along. Her commercial club will see that she goes right along. Their work is clean and creditable. And it isn't sleepy work either. THE FIERY CARMACK

"Ex-Senatior Carmack of Tennessee died as he would have Wished, 'with hia boots on. The product of a type of civilization that accentuates private citizens and public officials going armed, that in its more rural haunts perpetuate 'family feuds,' and that everywhere is prone to violent personal attack and equally violent resistance, he came to his end in a street brawl caused by his vitriolic utterances in a newspaper, his assailant being one of the victims Qf his censure," as one editor says. "He was a clever, belligerent, independent member of the senate, remembered chiefly for his touchy, fiery temper, his sharp tongue and his predilection for being on the offside, fighting against both his party and a majority of his countrymen; and this, not because of any superior wisdom, but because he was a born dissenter." AND SPEAKING OF the proper caper as to masculine raiment for the day time, the New York horse show scribes report that the best dressed en wear mixed tweed suits, most of them made in the English, three-buttoned, single-breasted, cut-away style. These fit snugly down the front and at the waist are cut sharply away. The tails of the coat are long and terminate in a rounded point like an evening soat. With this suit was worn a top hat.

He had $20 in bis pockets, was strong and healthy, and there was no one dependent upon him.

None of us ha3 a map of the expedition ,in which he is engaged. One may" have his plans, but plns fall down. Unforeseen things happen. Mortal prophecy fails because of contingencies. Often the way grows misty; often the stars do not stite. But the wise man knows THE FORCES THAT ARE FOR US ARE GREATER THAN THOSE THAT ARE AGAINST US. Therefore TLe wise man goes on bravely and blindly. Should we say blindly? , Rather he goes by faith instead of sight. Faith sees the glimmer of a star and hears the rustle of an angel's wings." Faith does not SEE the way; it HOLDS th way unseeing. Because of this lack of faith and" courage and because of morbid breedings young men and women by the hundreds are committing rash self destruction. It looks as if moral courage, the bravery of mental and emotional resioIution, is decreasing. , It should not be so. i Life is given to be hazarded. It Is a gift, and no one has the moral right to throw away a gift. Therefore let mortals hug life closely. If defeats come, why, even defeats, If honorable, are a form of victory. Let us die straining on toward the goal! If the harness sometimes galls the tender places well, scars are creditable. Life Is to be lived to the brim. Bravely drink the cup. Lift the beaker high and drink to the brave who go upward, though the way be full of stones and dark and thorny. If there be sweet poison in the cup, Fate put it there, not you or I.

The Hon. Samuel Edward Reid, commissioner of agriculture and provincial treasurer of Prince Edward Island, was born at St. Eleanors, Prince county, No vember 14, 1854.

After a. course in the public schools of St. Eleanors and Summer side he entered upon a commercial ca reer In his brother's store at Summer side.

He was speaker from 1900 to 1904. In 1905 he was appointed provincial secretarytreasurer and commissioner of agriculture, which position he still holds.

Mae E. Otis, who confesses to having plotted to have her mother murdered, that she might acquire 7,000, is sane. This strange Chicago woman was examined by two expert alienists yesterday and both of them declared that her reason was unclouded. In thus deciding the doctors have uncovered a personality so puzzling that students of crime and veteran policemen declare it utterly beyond their comprehension. Yesterday she sobbed, coquetted, confessed her guilt and avowed her innocence in fits and starts all day. She tried to throw the burden of the murder plot pn the detectives who trapped her, and then hesitatingly admitted her part in the grewsome murder scheme.

And feel constrained to mention things that ought to be denied. Among them are thie pictures that have gotten into print; My uncle isn't knock-kneed and was never known to squint. He doesn't wear a stony stare v nor smiles all sickly sweet As depicted on the banners that are floating down the street. He's-not a grinding monster,, hating all who toil and plod. Nor is he, as some friends allege, a dreamy demigod; Ho isn't a Beau Brummel with his elegance polite; He isn't any bully, threatening every one in sight. His enemies by calumny occasion deep distress, And admirers case suspicion by their eloquent excess. So his friends and his relations have combined in the demand For a candid understanding with the people of the land.
