J. W. WALKER. Business Manager of the Ed ucator-Journal Company.

J. W. Walker, the business manager of the Educator-Journal Co., Indianapolis, Ind., was born near Newark, Ind., Sept. IS, 185G. Jle obtained an eighteen months license at the age of sixteen, and began teaching at seventeen. He was a student of Prof. R. A.

He wras married to Miss Lora Glidden of the Worthington school in 1SS1, and they have two children, Maude and Howard. The former is taking a special course in literature in the University of Chicago, and the latter is a pupil in the Shortridge High School at Indianapolis. Mr. Walker was the Indiana agent for Van Antwerp, Bragg & Co., and the American Book Co., for quite a number of years and participated in book campaigns in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Minnesota, Mississippi, and West Virginia. As evidence of his success we need only state that his salary was increased four times aggregating GG 2-3 per cent. He has an extensive acquaintance, and remembers faces and names remarkably well. He is warmer weather are softening the ice in the Ohio river. Both Miami rivers ran out last night. This morning a gorge at LudloAV, Ivy., went out, causing but slight loss.

Witherby folded up his napkin with that air of satisfaction that a man has when he has just finished a good dinner. "I hope," he continued, "that you can keep her. A cook like that ought to be Jollied along at any "sacrifice." "That's what troubles me," said Mrs. Witherby. "She certainly Is fine, and I hardly dare look at her or say a word to her for fear she will get up and leave. I am so afraid" She did not finish the sentence, but looked anxiously into the distance. "Of what?" asked Witherby. "You don't mean to say that there are any preliminary signs of her going, do you?" "Well," replied Mrs. Witherby, "not exactly that. But you know, my dear, the work we have In this house Is not easy. Every cook we have had has complained of It. I am almost afraid he will think it too much." Witherby puffed his cigar somewhat concernedly. He had dined well and

U

thoroughly loyal to his friends, and has the courage to express his convictions. Early in 1901 he purchased the interests of Messrs. Stalker, Wisely, Curry and Storms in the EducatorJournal. He was immediately elected business manager by the other directors,, which included Hon. D. M. Geeting, ex-State Superintendent of Public Instruction, Hon. B. F. Johnson, State Statistician, Supt. Wm. II. Wiley, Terre Haute Schools, and Supt. C. F. Patterson, Edinburg Schools. Since that time four dividends have been declared upon a capitalization of $20,000.00, and the outlook for the company is exceedingly : encouraging. Mr. Walker had the .honor of making a contract with Dr. Robert J. Aley, Professor of Mathematics in Indiana University, to become editor of the Educator-Journal. Since then the latter has become a stockholder, and his able and practical editorials have attracted the attention of educators throughout the United States. The Journal has been recognized as the organ of the Indiana State Teachers' Association 'since j 185G, and it deserves a very liberal 'patronage as it is thoroughly progressive and practical. felt eoe&pfcntTIngiy munificent. "This," lie said, "is no time for foolish economy. We've got a good cook, and in these days they are as scarce as hens' teeth. Keep her by all means. Make it as easy for her' as you can. Your peace of mind and my stomach are both worth something. Get some one to help her if you want to." "That's what I was thinking of," said Mrs. Witherby. "You see, she bas all the washing and ironing to do, besides cleaning up the dining room. I'll get some one to come in once a week and do this for her. Tben I am sure she will be perfectly contented." "Good!" said Witherby. "Just the thing. I can new look forward to a life of true ease." One week later as Witherbs came home from his business by some subtle instinct that husbands acquire he knew merely by looking at the outside of bis house that something .was up. lie entered and made hi way rap'diy to the kitchen, where hi wife was bending over the stove, with a veay red face and a careless air. "lias she gone?" said Witherby. "Has the finest cool? we ever had left us?" "She has." said Mrs. Witherby, her tears mingling with the chicken broth. "What was thn matter? What excuse did she give?" "She said." replied Mrs. Witherby pfeCbly, "that she had to little to do." Philadelphia Ledger. lit Katnl Overnight. With a steely glitter in her eye the young woman met him at the door. "Mr. Spoonamore," she said, "did you send me this poem?" Hereupon she handed him a sheet of tinted paper containing some lines beginning thus: Beautiful one, with eyes so blue. Oh. how my fond heart longs for you! Sweet maiden, listen to me now, Hear once again my ardent vow! "Why, yes, Miss Birdie," he stammered. "I I wrote it. Is anything the" "l'our 'ardent vow!'" she exclaimed contemptuously. "Read the first letters of those four lines downward, and you will see what your vow and your poetry amount to, Mr. Spoonamore!" He glanced at the lines again. Then, with a wild cry, he rushed forth into the night. "Curses on my fatal gift of poesy!" he howled. "I ought to have edited the stuff before I sent it in!"

"My one regret Is that I cannot take my fortune with me into the next world," he sighed. "Sure, it's too bad, son," acquiesced Terence, ."for ye do have money to burnr.Princeton Tiger, ...

Burr, 3G south ninth street, the election of officers was dispensed with until a future date. The question ot raising funds by other means than the giving of J dinners and suppers was presented and discussed at some length, but as nothing more profitable was suggested the former method will likely be followed. A communication was addressed to Mr. Roy Brown, of Liberty, who favored the Sunday school with a lecture a short time ago, to arrange for a return date in the near future. Unless otherwise announced the next meeting will be held at the home of Mrs. W. G. Burr, the president. Mrs. C. S.

From that time the American public has greeted the madame with a greater enthusiasm at each appearance, and with each successive visit to this country, the love of America and things American has growrn stronger in this typical German frau's heart. It was here that her youngest of eight children was born during that first season, and she named him "George Washington." Madame Schumann-IIeinke; like all other artists, has achieved success only after years of labor, and, like many others, through battles with poverty. Unlike some others, however, she lives without, pretentiousness when at home with her family, in the Villa Tini, in Koetzschenbroda, a suburb of Dresden. Madam Schumann-IIeink hps only just resigned her position with the Royal opera in Berlin. She appears this season in song reeital, and will not do so again for three years.
