SCHOOL DAYS. An Interesting experiment is being tried out in the Richmond public schools. It has to do with tardiness and deportment. Tardiness is punished by long confinement after school hours. Good deportment is attained by a reduction in the grade of the child. The experiment, for such it is, seems on the face of it, to have good results, although it is almost too soon to tell what the final conclusion will be. The basis of the grade for the term ending is 7." per cent, for scholarship and 25 per cent, for deportment. Thus it Is that the student theoretically must attain 75 per cent, to pass. The plan looks well on paper but how will It work? The question of tardiness is one which has long been troubling the local schools, the high school in particular. The plan seems to work admirablyfor those students who do come are there on time. But it is being vaguely whispered around the town that many scholars who are in danger of being late,, stay away from school and have their parents write out an excuse. These excuses are for the most part said to be perfunctory. It is well for the authorities to consider the matter, for unless this feature is eliminated, the scheme falls by its own weight, in as much as there are hours of school time lost by the students as opposed to minutes under the former system. In regard to the deportment ssystem, it Is doubtful whether the docking of a student's grade is all it should be. Parents are accustomed to look at the grades for what they should represent, i. e., the actual scholarship of the student. But in the insistence upon good behavior the authorities are upon the right track. There has been entirely too little stress laid on good deportment. It would seem, however, that the demerit system such as is in vogue in not only West Point and Annapolis, but in other schools, might well be employed. A certain number of demerits should automatically exclude the student from further attendance in classes. It does seem that the coupling of scholarship and deportment is not quite fair. Whether it is or not, it is being said among students that deportment has not improved and that many who were formerly good in deportment have become stubborn. The evidence is in truth, in both cases, of the hearsay type, so that it may be fairly held not to prove anything except the talk of children who dislike the new rules because they are effective. The test must necessarily come at the end of the term when it can be seen in comparison with the former records for corresponding periods, whether or not there has been an in crease la tardiness and absences, or a great lowering of grades and an increase In failures. It may easily be that these new methods will succeed well. If they do, it will Improve the school system much. The attempt, whether right or wrong in its details, has a good object, as these things are above all others the principal evils in our schools. Most authorities incline to the belief however, that the question of deportment is one which is entirely a personal equation between pupil and teacher. Some teachers have the faculty of keeping order with little apparent effort, while others of even higher mental attainments, often fail. That, it is safe to say, will remain a problem as long as there are schools. Up to this time, as far as any one knows, the only way to keep order is to employ such teachers as can and will keep order and then to back them up. TRADEMARKS. Under the pure food law many beneficial things have come to pass. The purchaser now leuows what he is buying. A new development, somewhat unlooked for, has come to pass by the recent decision of the court or appeals or the District of Columbia, This affects trade marks. - la his speech before the Sphinx club, a business men's club of New

York, Dr. Wiley, who as chief of th chemical bureau of the department of agriculture, has been active in tht crusade for pure food said: "The court of appeals of the Dis trict of Columbia has handed down a decision which is pregnant of the future. It deals with a trademark, tht advertising of which was false and misleading. The court said it would not protect any trademark about which any false statements had been made. Now, suppose a man puts tht proper label on his article and then advertises falsely, then by the d cision the court will not protect tha; man in his trademark. "I read advertisements in the ele vated and subway cars and on the plat forms. Everywhere there are extravagant, false, misleading statements. Now, gentlemen, that's not adverth lng; its immorality. The American proucts do not need this misrepresentation. They have virtues enough to brag about and to test jour skill o; vomposition and still keep within the truth." Dr. Wiley is right in what he sayt about American products having enough merit to do away with untrue statements about them. In its fina. essence such false advertising is littlt better and perhaps worse than obtaining money under false pretenses. As an illustration of the workings of the pure food law m regard to trade marks a wholesale grocer in this town said the other day. "We sold for many years a popular brand of coffee known as 'XXX Java.' The sales were enormous. Under the law the manufacturers of this brand were forced to change the name inasmuch as there was not a particle of Java coffee in it. The manufacturer continued in his business, but the trade has fallen off. People now come in and ask for this brand. We can only tell them the circumstances and tell him that this is the same thing. Few customers, however, avail themselves of this, but buy real Java which is considerably higher in price. Another man, the competitor of this same firm, has for many years sold a brand of coffee of the same grade. It was for a long time a good, but not a great seller. This firm has now profited under the law because it has always sold its coffee for exactly what it is. The firm still keeps the same trade mark and since the Pure Food law has gone into effect it has had a remarkable sale." This is a practical illustration of what is going on all over the country. The trade mark which deceives is the menace of not only the honest merchants and manufacturers, but the public at large. It will be a very fortunate thing if the law be applied to all branches of trade. It would save the public thousands of dollars every year.

An Excellent Recipe for Obstinate Coughs. An obstinate cough is about as disagreeable an ailment as a person could have, and has many dangerous features. The battle with such an aggravation can be won within a few hours by utilizing the simple home recipe given below. Since it was first recommended many have tried it with surprisingly prompt results. The recipe is worth, saving. Granulated Sugar Syrup z joz Pinex UVioz Take a pint or Granulated Sugar, add one-half cup of water, stir and let it boil just a moment. Put the 2Va oz. of Pinex in a pint bottle and fill it up with the Syrup. Shake well and take a teaspoonful every one, two or three hours. Well corked it keeps perfectly. The slight cost of preparing this simple recipe recommends it, in addition to its unequaled merits as a cough and cold killer. The Granulated Sugar used will cost you about 4 cents and the Pinex 50 cents. The recipe makes a full pint of cough syrup, enough to last a long time. The same amount of ready made cough syrup would cost you about $2.50. It is not hard to understand the effectiveness of this simple remedy when the curative qualities of the Ingredients are explained. The Syrup is an excellent sedative. .Pinex is the most valuable concentrated compound of Norway White Pine Extract, and contains all the natural elements which make the air of the pine forests so effective in curing membrane diseases. In making this remedy at home, do not expect good results by using any of the weaker pine oils or pine tar preparations. Get the real Pinex itself. If your druggist does not have it, he will gladly get it for you if you ask him. This home-made article is also splendid for pains in the chest, whooping cough, hoarseness, bronchial affec tions and other throat troubles. MASONIC CALENDAR. Tuesday Evening, Nov. 17.

Business and Not Politics Cause of Hurried Visit of Taft to Cincinnati

Cincinnati, O., Nov. 17. Presidentlect W. H. Taft returned to Cincinnati fonday afternoon and will remain unil this evening, when he will return o Hot Springs, Va. The unexpected 'isit of the president-elect at this time aii become the basis of many rumors nd the cause of much speculation in olitical circles because of late develpnients in the United States senatorhip tangle. That Charles P. Taft, half brother, s more than a receptive candidate for Senator Foraker's seat is the generally iccepted opinion among politicians. The announcement of Senator Forakr that he will be a candidate for reflection and the presence of other aslirants add complications that make he question one of adsorbing interest hroughout the state. The coming of Ir. Taft only intensifies the public inerest in the outcome of the struggle. Mr. Taft and his brother, who could ;lear up the whole situation as far as he visit might have anything to do vith it, will not talk. He arrived in he city at 1 o'clock and was driven Hrect to the home of C. P. Taft. The tatement was given out that personal business and that alone, was the cause t the sudden visit to his native city. JRLS SCOOTED SIDEWALK Rushville Young Men and Women Startle Town. Rushville, Ind., Nov. 17. This town has set a pace in a different way. It has anything the Great White Way can produce, skinned a city block. The veriest Salome dancer would blush with shame, but it was Jolly good sport for the street loafers and many a neck was stretched out of plumb in the attempt to see it all. Two young men and two young women were drunk Saturday night and decided upon a novel stunt. The girls seated themselves on the sidewalk and their male companions, taking them by the ankles, dragged them about. There was a great deal of hilarity and nobody hurt until the town marshal was collided with. Then one of the men became obstreperous and the marshal laid him on the walk for more than the count The men and one girl were fined for drunkenness. The other girl gave an exhibition of the reindeer stunt and has not been located since. The marshal did not count in a running race. ASSISTANCE TO MOUNTAIN POOR Lnrai church to Send Contribution Box.

Gompers Would Not Pay Fine Tells American Federation of Labor He Would Not Permit That Body to Pay It for Him if Convicted.

Denver, Colo., Nov. 17. President Samuel Gompers, at Monday afternoon's session of the American Federation of Labor, declared if he were found guilty and fined in the contempt proceedings against him at Washington he would go to jail before he would pay his fine or before he would allow the federation to pay any fine for him. This statement was made by Mr. Gompers during discussion of the report of the committee on the treasurer's report. The committee recommended that immediately following the adjournment of the convention the executive committee shall take up the proposition of placing its funds where they may be removed from danger of j attachment. The report brought out a political discussion in which several members declared themselves in favor of the formation of an independent political party. Treasurer John B. Lennon, said he had discussed with good attorneys the matter of safeguarding the funds and they all agreed it was impossible without resulting at some time in perjury by somepersons. D. G. Ramsey, of the Electrical Workers was applauded when he declared: "We had a chance to place our funds beyond the reach of those who would take them, but we let it pass Nov. 3. The only way to protect our money is to change the laws." Receiver Could Be Appointed. Mr. Gompers warned tbo delegates

Say Brother Should Retire. Politicians who are willing to discuss the matter express the opinion that whatever may be the purpoee of Mr. Taffs trip here, he will take advantage of the opportunity to discuss the senatorship with his brother and probably advise him to withdraw from the senatorial race if he has serious intentions of entering it. They believe that C. P. Taft could be easily elected if the president- elect tiiould back him against the field, but also do not heei-

tate in saying that such a course would mark the renewal of factional fighting. j Again, it is set forth that the elec tion of C. P. Taft would embarrass the new president. As a member of the senate everything he might say would be generally recognized as coming from the president. This is a situation that the president would be very anxious to avoid, say those who are well acquainted with him. No Politics in Visit. I Last evening Taft gave out a statement declaring that his visit was simply a matter of personal and family interest and had nothing to do with politics. During the afternoon he attended the funeral of Miss Phoebe S. Baker, a life-long friend of the Taft family. CONNEBSVILLE MAY FOLLOW RICHMOND PLAN Public School Play Grounds Possible. In answer to the request of Prof. G. Wilson of the public schools of Connersville, Prof. N. C. Heironlmus, principal of the Garfield school of this city has furnished the former with a description and history of the local public school play grounds. The letter has been printed in the Connersville papers and a movement is proposed whereby it may become possible to create a similar playground for the children of Connersville. In his communication Prof. Heironlmus states the lots located on South Twenty-second street, which were purchased for the purpose, cost $6,000. The club house was erected, the equipment installed and the ground leveled and tennis and croquet coruts laid out at an expenditure of. $2,000. The summer supervisor is paid $250 and the cost of labor for work done on the grounds amounts to about $100 annually. WATSON GOES ON LECTURE PLATFORM Not Worrying for Something To Do. Congressman James E. Watson, late republican candidate for governor of Indiana, has gone upon the lecture platform and will fill a number of engagements in Iowa and Michigan. The congressman has been in demand for lectures and it seems as if he will not find trouble in putting in his time even if he doesn't become a member of Taft's cabinet or consul general to London. His itinerary is as follows: Iowa City Iowa, Nov. 17; Mason City, Iowa, Nov. 18; West Liberty, Iowa, Nov. 19; Keokuk, Iowa, Nov. 20; Lansing, Mich., Nov. 23; Owasa, Mich., Nov. 24. that if a way were found to hide the funds the courts would thereafter appoint a receiver, not necessarily to secure in some way the hidden funds, but to get the money being contributed. By request Mr. Gompers explained the status of the Danbury Hat case. The lower courts held there was no case under the Sherman anti-trust law, he said, but the United States supreme court had reversed this decision and remanded the case to the lower court for retrial. Continuing, he said: "Our standing is menaced by the courts of law. The matter of the application of the Sherman anti-trust law to unions has reached final adjustment by the United States supreme court. No matter how the Danbury case is decided, that will not alter the status one jot. The United States supreme court has said the final word and the law is that labor organizations of this country are now conspiracies and combinations in restraint of trade. "Under the Sherman anti-trust law honest business can not be conducted much less honest, straightforward labor organizations. "As to the case against me in the District of Columbia, I will never consent that the American Federation of Labor shall ever pay one cent of fine for me. I don't want to go to Jail but I will not submit to the federation being mulcted for me. If I had the means I would not use them In paying any fine imposed on me for exercising my right as an American citlUB."

Heart to Heart Talks. By EDWIN A. NYE. Copy.ight, 19Q8, by Edwin A. Nye THE FAIRY THINGS OF CHILDHOOD. Those whose hearts are dry as summer's dust have long tried to kill that glorious soul, the Santa Claus of childhood. But Santa Claus lives on. The other day in Passaic, N. Jn "Ignorant Iconoclasts" tried to get the school board to banish from the schools those books that contained the fairy tales of Andersen and Grimm and the "Arabian Nights." Fortunately these nearsighted people failed. They gave the old argument: This age is a practical age an age of exact science. Then why fill the children's minds with rubbish about the fairies? But do these practical folk know anything more practical than enthusiasm or ambition or initiative? Well, could these qualities exist without imagination? Can you have Invention without fancy or ambition without dreams? The imagination is creative. This would be a dull world there would be no progress a mere Initiative world were there no robust fancies In the minds of men planted there by the day dreams of their childhood. Do not hesitate to fill the minds of the little tots with tales of Mother Goose or of Aladdin and bis wonderful lamp. Because THE REAL THINGS ARE THE UNSEEN THINGS. Who ever saw truth or love or aspiration? Are they not more real than the things you see or touch? Everything man has made is but the crystallization of his idea, and who ever saw an Idea? Moreover That child is to be pitied who has not seen the sprites and fairies at their play, who has not gone in fancy for the pot of gold to the end of the rainbow's glitter, who has not built for himself his beautiful castle In Spain. Imagination has its educative uses. I repeat: There is more in life than that yon get through the five senses. Else It is all animalism and muck. The fairy tales of every people melodies of childish rhythm, myths of Kriss Kr Ingle have lived through the centuries. They served good ases or they had died long ago. They lived because That which is seen passes. That which is unseen is eternal. A man was "tried" at the Old Bailey On the first witness being called the prisoner asked, "My lord, is thi man going to give evidence against me? "Yes," was the reply. "Then I plead guilty not that I air guilty, but I wish to save him from committing perjury." London MaiL Scott's Emulsion is for coughs and colds as well as for consumption. It's easy for Scott's Emulsion to cure a cold or cough and it does it better than anything else because it builds up and strengthens at the same time.
