fin i Baip & WlTn tho opening of the schools comes cltention or.ee more to the subject of prosrrcss in methods of teaching the young ilea how to tfcoot. Clasr-lr related to this is that of how to hou.e the children and surround them with all the things that will help them to maize tho best U33 of their opportunities. In the larrre citlos educators, city ofilc'.als and architects sre jr'.ving much study ta tl.e Luilcliig of Fchools and their planning so r.s to p-ovitle the best sanitary conditions, oppcrtr.niiies for manual traili ng v.-orl;, gyirnnstic apparatus, baths, Inrso r.se:ntly rooms for daily exercise.-!, free lectures and neighborhood gntherir.g and various other accessaries of the system of public Instruction. In some cities more and in others less of these things are provided. In congested districts, of large cities, where the homes of the children are small flats or dark and crowded tenement-? and their domestic training is limited in extent and deficient la character, the conditions demand different treatment from that in districts where the home3 of the pupils and their general surroundings are more favorable to healthy development. The public schools of today are very different institutions, especially in urban communities, from the old red schoolhouses of rural settlements in our grandfathers' time, and a great -deal besides the three It's is taught. Some say that in consequence of so many so called fads receiving attention nowadays the rndiinents do not get their rightful share of - consideration. Other educators maintain that the three li's were never taught so well before. However that may be, a great advance has been "made in the provisions devised for the comfort, health and pleasure of the children. The buildings themselves svhich are being en-eted in these days for use as public schools are as imposing in their architecture and complete in their appointments as if they were Intended for the halls of ome great university. Such a building, for instance, as the DeWItt Clinton High school, 2Cew "York, might well be mistaken for some distinguished and historic seat of learning. Its entrance is especially imposing and dignified in its architecture, and among the features of its beautiful interior are mural paintings by the eminent artist Charles T. Turner, illustrating the dedication of the Erie canal, the most Important episode in the career of the statesman for whom It Is named, An idea of the beauty of this structure may be obtained from the accompanying illustration, showing a doorway. An innovation in architecture is the roof playground. The idea of a playground on the roof would have been considered quite fantastic not so many years ago, but times have changed, and the. plan, now presents a solution In many places of the problenj of how to have aa adequate playground where land is so high, On the roof the pupils can get the best air that is to be had, and that is quite an important consideration, too, in the midst of a large city, with its dinginess and smoke and unhealthful odors, A school visitor who emerged upon one of these roofs recently was startled by the hard and sudden impact of a baseball .upon the wall at his side. On recovering from the shock of his narrow escape from being hit he saw that the boys were running the bases and knocking flies with apparent unconcern as to the fact that their game was being J t Jz AX ETFECrriVB SCHOOL ENTUJlNCE. played on a roof instead of on solid ground. Naturally some games and sports are better adapted than others to the roof playground. There are some twelve of these playgrounds now in New York. As to the imposing and beautiful architectural effects now. aimed at, it is urged by educators and, school boards that buildings possessing these distinctions do not really cost so much more than plain structures if only they are rightly planned, while the reining effect of such surroundingsupon the youthful mind is benoScial beyond the power of estimate.

STANDARD OIL TO 80y DISTILLERIES

Giant Octopus is Peaking an Effort to Control Output of Alcohol. NEGOTIATIONS AT PEORIA PRICES HAVE BEEN SET BY INDEPENDENT OWNERS OVERTURES WERE MADE AT TERRE HAUTE ALSO. Publishers' Press Peoria, i..., i,-. L7. The Standard Oil company has taken steps toward ownership of all the principal distilling plants in the United States. A conference was held Friday last in Chicago between representatives of the distilling interests and the Standard Oil company. A price has been set on every distillery in Peoria, and indications are that a deal will be effected and the plants will pass into the hands of the Standard soon. It is said the price asked was considered too high by the Standard Oil people and the latter threatened, if suitable terms could not be reached, to build distilling houses of their own. The chief reason of this action on the part of the Standard Oil company was the recent passage of the alcohol bill by congress. Experts employed by the Rockefeller interests, .after experimenting, reported the product can not be manufactured cheaply enough to make it a serious competitor of gasoline, but that it could be used in the manufacture of mercerized cotton and other fabrics and would he an extremely favorable product to control. After Indiana Plants. Terre Haute, Ind., Aug. 27. Terre Haute distillers returned from Chicago, where the monthly meeting of both trust and independent distillers was held. It Is stated by local owners of distilleries that attorneys for the Standard Oil company have approached distillers ashing them' if they would -entertain a proposition to buy their plants. Practically all replied in the affirmative. It is the opinion of distillers here that the Standard made the overtures with the probable intention of engaging largely in the manufacture of denatured alcohol. Cas. i.. o-lisaion."

A TALE OF RSVSNGE

"Manuel, 111 have to leave ysti for come time. Let everything go oa as If I were here, said Kobert Seton one afternoon. Ye3, seaor. Cenor Las a sweotLeartr "Yes, Manuel. I Lave a sweetheart; but I doubt if my arrival in the United Gtates will piease her as well as it will me. "I shsll not see you again before I go, so gDodby, Manuel." "Adois, senor." Seven years before Robert Seton had landed at Caracas with but little money in his pocket and no friends. He had plenty of money uw, but was still without friends. As he sat in his tent smoking his thoughts centered upon a little Xew England town. "I will open their eyes when I g?t there," he was thinking. -That cursed Katcliffe will rue the day he ever married Maude Adams. She will be sorry too. So pretty and yet so false. She said she loved' me, but she threw me over when father broke up. Poor father! Danker Adams caused his death, I'm sure. Curse him! He wanted the old homestead, so he foreclosed the mortgage he held. Well, maybe fame wouldn't hold malice toward any one who has treated them the way those people treated me. I hold malice. I'll lie revenged for the death of my father and the loss of my bride. I'm not one of the soft, forgiving kind. The poor fools, not to know that I would revenge myself at any cost." Such thoughts welled np in his mind whenever he thought of home. Eight years before he had been in his senior year at Harvard!. His father was wealthy supposedly so, at least. He wras engaged to be married to a beautiful girl. The world looked very bright to him. Then one morning he received news that his father was dead had blown his brains out, in fact. Following upon that, the news came that his father was bankrupt, and a letter from his sweatheart telling him that she loved another. He learned enough to know that Banker Adams had been instrumental in causing the bankruptcy of his father and the breaking of his engagement. When, some years before Kobert Seton had come from college to attend the funeral of his father and found himself penniless, his bride promised to another man, he had solemnly sworn that he would one day own the Seton homestead and cause the bankruptcy of Banker Adams, as his father had been made bankrupt. Then Maude Adams, she who had never known poverty's blighting, cursing effects, should suffer too. He would bankrupt her husband too. Ills vengeance would be complete Indeed. j Now it is morning, and the wagon train has started out. It is still dark. The white capped wagon containing the bedding and provisions and the ore wagons form the main body. The mounted men, each one carrying a gun and revolver, ride ahead. The mountains are infested with bandits, and one must go armed. No bandit, however, is likely to attack the Americano. So say the swarthy teamsters as they wrap their cloaks more closely about them. Now they are starting up a long ridge, and the drivers jump from the wagons and walk up. Seton's thoughts ramble from one thing to another, but always come back to the home of his childhood. lie wondered if Maude Adams, now Katcliffe, was happ. What mattered it to him? His poor old father's image as he lay cold in death came back to him. 'T wonder how Adams will look after Im through with him?" he muttered. "He has the courage to kill himself." It was still dark. A man rode up to him and in excited tones informed him of the presence of bandits a few miles ahead, Seton rode forward and, placing a dozen men under his lieutenant, ordered him to advance and engage the bandits if there were any. He knew this fellow, the bandit chief, Montero. He had pursued him for 100 miles. He was not at all uneasy; so many reports are only rumors. How will he announce his arrival at home? What will people think of him? He does not care for their opinion. He thinks only of his poor dead father, Banker Adams might at least have spared his old friend. He' has them under his thumb now. Say the word and they are penniless. It is fighter now. As they go higher and higher up the slope the lighter it gets, A faint breeze springs up. The time between sunrise and break of daj- is here, Hark! What is that? The faint crack of rifles is heard now. He spurs his horse forward and with the guard dashes up the road. Now they have reached the place. Two or three men are lying upon the ground. Farther down the road they are fighting, hand to hand. His men have been fired upon and have charged the en'emy. Down the road Seton saw one of his guards fall, his skull cleft by a machete stroke from the hands of the bandit chieftain. With cries of "Forward!" he rides down upon them. The fight is soon over. Nearly all the bandits were killed. It had been a surprise to them. The victorious guards return from the charge. That body lying upon the grass, supported by the lieutenant, is not that of a native. No. Upon the grass lies all that is mortal of Kobert Seton, a bullet in his brain. And as the lieutenant, seeing the uselessness of tarrying longer, arises the first bearn of the rising sun gleams across the ghastly red stream flowing from the little hole in his , forehead. And soon the body cf Kobert Seton was buried in a shallow grave and cov-ered-with stones to keep the jackal away. And thus, when he had reached the aim of his life, that life was taken away and the aim destroyed. Cincinnati Post. - . .- . - ... .
