WHEN HE TAUGHT SCHOOL
Conductor Harding Tells of
His Experiences as a Peda
gogue at West Nicholson.
J'rom the Railroad Employe.
"Speaking of school teachlne," re
marked Conductor Hardin as we sat
one ralnv evening In our comfortable
rooms at the Hobok-n depot, "reminds
me of many years ago when 1 tauht
school at West Nicholson. I wus a
young fellow then and nothing turning
up that suited me at the time I nsked
for a position teaching school. So one
morning I'ncle Dan Decker, of West
Nicholson, drove up to the house ana
after the usual talk as to how the folks
were, the crops, etc., he asked me If
1 did not want to take the school up at
West Nicholson. 1 had heard of the
place and how sadly the teachers had
tared who had tried It before and 1 at
once proceeded to Inform Uncle Dan
(who was one of the trustees) of the
fact." "Oh shaw!" he said, "them
were wimmen teachers. It wants a
man: you won't have any trouble with
them." so after some talk I reluctantly
consented to try my fortune teaching
school at West Nicholson. The Mon
day following found me at the old wood
colored school house at the cross roads
uwaltlng. I confess, with an anxious
heart. forthearrivalof my pupils. About
ten minutes to nine they came Hocking
In, the girls rosy cheeked and bashful;
the boys, many of them, large size (I
wished they Were only smaller), robust,
strong, und more used to hard work
than attending school: boys of that
kind of timber that today till many re
sponsible positions In this busy world.
There w as Charley Nichols, now a con
ductor on train 7 and 8. Delaware,
Lackuwanna and Western; Will Wor
rull, pusseiiger engineer on I'tica divis
ion of Delaware. Lackawanna und
Western; Will lteynolds. afterwards
representative for Wyoming county In
the legislature; Doc Reynolds, now
pidthotiolury, and many others who
have been n credit to themselves and
the little hamlet whence they came.
The llrst day passed off quiet and
peaceful und when the time came for
closing In a brief seech. I congratu
lated the scholars u:n their good be
havior during the day nnd sincerely
hoped that the present state of affairs
would continue. 1 noticed, however,
when I was seaklng some very signillc
anl glances passed between the larger
boys but 1 laid It more to their not be
ing used to that kind of congratula
tions than to any other reason.
tm my way to Aimtl Smith's, now a
resident of lilnghamton, where I board
ed the first week (we used to board
around in those dnvs) a short distance
beyond Dan Spaulding's stole, was a
Miiall patch of woods and ns 1 was
passion through those woods lien Wor
rail, then n little shaver, and a brother
of Will Wotrall. came running out from
among the trees and caught me by the
coat.
".Mr. Harding!" he cried, panting for
breath, "You won't tell the boys If I
tell you something, cause If you do
they'll most kill me." "No, Kenny, 1
said in a reassuring tone, I won't tell
the boys. Now what is the matter?"
"Well, the big .hoys Charley Nichols,'
brother Will, ami the rest of them are
going to Mo you' up tomorrow. They
held a meeting in our barn last night
and saiil they'd be good today and fool
you. then tomorrow they'll wipe you
out." And bidding me once more not
to give him uway, Benny disappeared
III the woods.
He fori 1 arrived at Smith's T laid my
plans und made up my mind if I got
"done up" the next day It would not be
my fault, ami I would at least enjoy a
share of the fun.
Hastily eating my supper I borrowed

less than half the price for which they can be obtained from any of our competitors. This marvelous reduction is made as the time is short, and the immense

Amrl's horse and buggy and started
for Nicholson. There I hunted up two
of the best fighters in that county, men
who are dead and gone now, whom I
will not name for that reason. They
were the old-fashioned training day
and town meeting fighters, men who
would rather fight than eat, and who
had immortalized themselves upon
mote than one hard fought field of bat
tle. After a brief Interview, accompa
nied by a financial consideration, they
agreed to come up by the back road
and then down through Squires' woods
so as not to be seen by the scholars.
Then they would conceal themselves
In the wood house adjoining the school
until Invited by a signal of mine to
participate in the festivities. I then
started back for West Nicholson not
saying a word to any one else regard
ing my plans for the morrow.
The next morning found me first nt
t'ne school house awaiting the arrival
of my "friends the enemy." I can see
them now. though many yenrs have
passed, those big hearty fellows as
they came trooping up the roadway
that led to the school, laughing, talk
ing and making their arrangements as
to my welfare. (iood friends to me
those lads In after years nnd some who
are sleeping so quiet there In the little
village churchyard are most sincerely
mourned. Here the conductor paused a
moment and our minds went back to
our school days ugaln. One of the lis
teners repeated these lines:
And don't you remember the school. Ben
Holt.
With the master so cruel and grim.
And the shaddvd nook by the running
brook,
Where the children went to swim?
Grass grows on the master's grave, lien
Kelt.
The spring of the brook Is dry.
Ami of ull the boys who were schoolmates
then,
There are only you and I.
They came In nnd took their seats,
continued Air. Harding and you never
could have told by their quiet actions
and innocent looks that It was only the
brief calm before the fearful tempest
to follow and It gave me great satisfac
tion to see from my position upon the
raised platform through the window
my two expected guests from Nicholson
cautiously sneaking into the wood shed.
I had Just called a class to recite
when Will Worrull suddenly Jumping
up cri' d out. slamming his book down
upon the Hour, "I want to speak my
piece! I always speak Tuesdays!"
"I want to speak too!" yelled Nichols
starting for the platform. "I always
speak llrst."
I knew that the war had commenced
and to this day 1 cannot help laughing
when 1 rememht r the scene. Hoth were
upon the platform, Nichols swinging
his arms and repeating In a voice
that could have been heard at Spring
vllle, "The Death of Napoleon."
"Wild was the night, yet a wilder night
Hung mound the soldier's pillow!"
And Worrall yelling at the top of
his voice:
"The death of Sir John Moore,
Not a drum was heard, not a funeral
note."
I can never forget how those two lads
were dressed. There had been a brass
band down nt Piereeville some time
before nnd owing to a controversy
springing up between the members,
some wanting to play sacred music
only nnd the others profane, not ex
actly profane, but gayer airs, and as
n consequence the band broke up and
the suits were levied upon nnd sold at
auction. So Nichols" and orrall's
parents bought each of the boys one of
the suits with but little consideration
ns to their fitness.
As 1 stepped towards (he platform
Nichols springing towards Worrall
gave him u shove and of course Wor
rall had to grasp me (all plann il be
forehand), and we went down on the
floor accompanied by the desk which
Nic hols kicked over on us.
War had commenced and the girls
and smaller children ran screnming
from. the room. Managing to gain my
feet, I found myself alone facing a
gang of sturdy lads, who would not
scruple to throw mo out of the school

room but probably duck me In the
creek besides. For a moment it seemed
a clear case of 16 to 1.
"What did you throw me down- for?"
creamed Worrall, throwing oft his
band wagon coat and starting for me.
Two forma darkened the doorway, the
"old thjhters" entered and . the fun
commenced. The boys had a ..very poor
shqw and were cuffed right and left
without ceremony; men who had many
a time cleaned out bar rooms full of
men who called themselves fighters
did not have a hard job In cleaning up
that lot of school lads. It was hard
medicine, but no one approved of my
course afterwards more than their
parents.
Suddenly In the midst of the conflict
(for blocking the door so the boys
could not escape we were giving them
a good warming), there came a whirl
ami a rush and the water from the
dam above the school came rushing In
so that It covered the floor nearly two
feet. It was a small dnm and the creek
had quite a deep bank or else the little
building would have been wrecked.
"How did that happen?" nsked Harry
Walker, who had been an attentive lis
tener to the story. "Well the boys had
stationed Wesley Worrall up there with
an axe with Instructions when the fun
hud got under full headway and the
girls and small boys had got out, to
break the dam and let the water down,
and as Weslev was up by the church
quite a ways off he did not know but
things were going his way, so that ac
counted for the deluge. It cost a life,
however. Dan Spaulding's old brlndle
cow was drinking at the creek, below
the store, and the water carried her
down Into Km Ida Wright's mill race,
where she was drowned. The water
and the fighters were too much for the
boys and they yelled for mercy and the
battle ceased. The school house was
a sight to behold, desks were broken
as well as seats, water covered the lloor
and Nichols, he and the stove hud be
come Intermingled during the contest
and of his elegant brass band suit noth
ing wus left but the band around tht?
collar of the coat and the pants would
have disgraced a scarecrow. Worrall's
coat that he had thrown off to fight me
on the start was carried away In the
Hood and never recovered. He felt so
bad thev carried him home on the
blackboard.
Well, my mission at West Nicholson
for Hie time being was ended, and ac
companied by the two fighters we went
over the hill to where the horse and
wagon were hitched and started for
Nicholson by the bnck road, of course
it kicked up a big racket, but my course
was generally approved, the boys had
"got beat at their own game." Wesley
Stark and old lteynolds laughed until
they cried, and Dun Spuulding was the
only one who got real mad. He start
ed a law suit und the boys had to chip
In und pay him for tin.' old brlndle cow.
He suld he didn't care so much for the
real value of the "critter." but he hud
brought her. from York stale with him
when he moved there.
A couple of weeks later I received a
letter at the postoflice addressed to me,
w hen, on opening, much to my surprise,
reud us follows:
Mr. Harding:
Dour Sir: We, the undersigned and
many more would earnestly request
you to come back and tench our school
uguin. We will use you like u gentle
mun and promise faithfully we will do
so. We deserved what we got and we
will show you we can be good scholars,
liease come."
Signed C. M. Nichols, William Wor
rull, Kite Wise, John Shlbley, Ken
Travis and many others.
Well 1 went back there and no man
wus ever better used, ami I never shall
forget when Christmas cume bow that
night up ut the church my name was
culled und how In a brief seech Doc
lteynolds, on behalf of the scholars,
presented me with an easv chair and
how the boys flocked around and shook
hands with me and wished me a "Mer
ry Christmas," and many of them.
