TTTE SGRANTON TRIBUNE-FRIDAY MOltNlNtt, FJfllJUUAllY 5, 1S!)T. 0. SESEIIA ffJi2f?JK!'K2!E "- - -i-v' T5.y TAUT I. St. Valentine's dny cnmo on a Thtli'R day that year. Tuoadny, the twelfth, wis very warm, nlinoHt springlike; people llsteneil Involuntarily for bluo MnlH and robins and looked at the elm brunches lurnhlKt the sky as If they ex ported to see leaves. All that winter, so far, had been a very mild one. That morning Serena Ann Wells had found two ladles' delights blooming in a shel tered spot near the doorstep In the sr.utli ard and carried them to t-cliool lo irlw the teacher. The, scholars i row di'd uo to the desk to see them, and tile teacher said she would call them her valentine. That net rierena Ann to thinking. After school began she wrote a little note It was onanist the rules, but her curiosity was sudden ly too much for her on her slate and In "id It under cover of her desk, so Tabltha Green, who sat next, could read. "Did you ever hav a valintliiV" she Inquired, In plain, round characters. Pi r--na Ann's penmanship was unusual ly uood, but she was a naturally poor speller. Tabltha nodded. Serena Ann looked Impressed. Presently Tabltha wrote on her own slate one wurd: "You!" Phe omitted the interrop;ation point, Hblili she could not make very well. Indeed, she raised her eyebrows, which li.is really more eloquent. Serena Ann shook her head. Tabltha Green held up one hand with tinners and thumb spread, and the other with the small Index fineer extended and til" lingers and thumb curled under; that meant that she had received six valentines. Serena Ann began to write on her slate again, when suddenly soft folds of blue cashmere swept against her face and a slim white hand reached out for the slate. The teacher, Miss Cornelia little, had come softly to her other side. "Communicating, Serena Ann?" inquired Miss little, gently. Miss Little never raised nor quickened her voice; still, she had the reputation of h-lntr a very strict teacher. Serena Ann gave a little sigh, which w as almost a sob, of assent. The teacli tr held up the slate and rend: "Were they pretty?" The scholars craned their necks to see. Serena Ann's writing was so large and plain thnl those who sat near could reud lastly. There was a chuckle.whlch Miss Little quieted Instantly with a look. "Weie you communicating also'.'" she said, to Tabltha Green. "Yes, Ma'am," replied Tabltha, disconso lately. "Hold up your slate." Tabltha obeyed. There was nothing on the slate, however. Tabltha was very quick; sha had erased the "You" v, 1th us much sliced as she had lowered lur interrogative eyebrows. "You may write what you had on the sdnte over again," said Miss Little, with quiet decision, and Tabltha wrote. Then the two little girls were bidden to go out lu front of the school, and there they stood for a half hour, with their slates suspended from their necks by twine strings hanging over their pinafores like bteastplates. Tabltha did not mind the punishment half as much as Serena Ann 'did. She was rather a privileged character, both at home and In school, and was sus tained, under correction, by an un shaken confidence in the low and ad miration of all around her. She was a very pretty little girl, witlt long smooth yellow curls tied hack with a blue rlli hon, and exceedingly pink cheeks. She looked, as she stood there, at her mates, and received open glances of commiser ation from the girls, and shamefaced ones from the boys. She toed out pret tily, with one dainty little foot pointing out from the hollow of the other, clasped her small hands meekly, and saw with great complacency herself re flected In her schoolmates' eyes. Tabltha Green, child though she was, was al most impenetrable to punishment. But poor Serena Ann raised her blue pina fore with her little piteous hands, to her face, and sobbed, and sobbed, and SHE PEEUED PITIFULLY OVER HUIi PINAFORE. sobbed, and shook as If she were caught In a very whirlwind of grief. It was the Hi st line she had ever stood in the lloor, the first time she had ever been pun ished In school, and uhe had given two ladies' delights to the teacher that very morning. Somehow, that last stung her worst of all. It was, to her, the first prick of the serpent's tooth of ingrati tude. It seemed to her that, if she were the teacher, nnd a little girl had brought her flowers in February, when flowers were scarce, that she would not have made her stand In the lloor, for a first offence. Then there was another reason for Serena Ann's grief; her grandfather Judd had promised her a hook, If she were not punished lu school all that year, "There is no, use In offering her a re ward, father, sho never is punished," Serena Ann's mother had said, proudly, and Serena Ann had heard her. Now she would lose the book, and her grand father and mother would loso all con fidence In her, and all through her curi osity about valentines, mid she had never hud one. She sobbed so hard, that she disturbed the school; she was almost Hysterical. J f- bFZgwzr yTM 'iff t'Jb y ..is? iBsr nn MARy E-f "WLKris. (Copyright, ISO", by Mnry 15. Wllklna.) Mips Little came nnd took her gently by the arm. She pitied her so, that she wished she had not made her stand In the lloor, and yet It would not do for her to yield. "Serena Ann," she whis pered, "you must calm yourself, and not cry su. I cannot have It. I shall have to send you home, If you are not more quiet." That would be more than Serena could bear, to be sent, home from school. She quieted her sobs, with a convulsive effort. After awhile she peered pitifully over her pinafore, and her tearful eyes met Johnny Star's compassionate ones. Johnny Stair was a new boy, whose parents had moved Into Serena. Ann's neighborhood the summer before. He was a unjtty, quiet boy, and Serena "NOW, FATHER, DON'T YOU GO TO Ann's mother had told his moth er that she had just as soon have him come over to see Serena Ann, ns a girl. Serena Ann, herself, thought him al most as good as a girl. She went coasting and sliding with him and he was better than a girl, in that kind of sport, because he always dragged her up hill on her sled, and that (mother girl would not do. Johnny Starr had even been known to play dolls, to please Serena Ann, although he made her promise never to toll the other boys. Now, when Serena Ann met his hand some brown eyes, she felt a comforting sense of companionship. Johnny Starr, moreover, gave his head an indignant Jerk toward Miss Little, which did her good, though she loved Miss Little. Recess came soon after the girls were released from their position lu the floor and everybody went out, the weather Mas so warm. Johnny Starr folleived Serena Ann Into the north east corner of the school yard, where there was a little clump of pine trees. lie took out his jackknife and began cutting a J. S. in a pine trunk, us if that was what Jie had come there for. "Say, what did you write that about what did she send you out In the floor for.'" he whispered, as he cut away In dustriously. Serena Ann explained. "Us mean," declared Johnny Starr. "Say, Serena Ann" "What?" "It's too warm to go sliding, after school; we'd slump through, and there ain't enough snow to coast on. If you won't say anything about it, and your mother's willing, I'd Jest as lief come over and play dolls." Serena Ann smiled gratefully at him. It seemed to her at that moment that he was better than a girl. Then Johnny Starr snapped his jackknife together and went olf to the other boys, and Tabltha Green and Miranda Sail, the doctor's daughter, joined Serena Ann. Miranda, was one of the big girls, very bright-eyed and red-cheeked. Sho was quite a belle and a power in the school. She wore liner clothes than any other girl, too, and looped up her black curls with a comb, and had spending money. She put a plump protecting arm aioUud Serena Ann. "Don't you feel bad one lilt," said she. "I had stood In the Moor dozens of times before I vas as old as you. Didn't you ever have a valentine, Se rena Ann?" Serena Ann shook her head and looked up gratefully Into the gill's handsome, glowing face. No words could express her admiration for Mi randa. "Well, maybe you'll get one this year stranger things have happened," .Mi randa remarked, meaningly, as she turned away. "I don't believe but what she'll send you one," whispered Tabltha Green, and Serena Ann was seized with -delightful, though tremulous anticipa tion. Sho locked across at Miranda after school began and thought Hint sho must lie the most beautiful glii in the whole world, Serena Ann's spirits revived as the forenoon wore on. She was perfect In her arithmetic, did an example on the blackboard which no one else could do, and she went to the head In the spelling class1. At noon the teacher called her to the desk, gave her a seed cake out of her own dinner basket and told her how sorry she had felt to be obliged to punish her, when she had always been such a good gill, and Se rena Ann, though she wept a little more, was sweetly comforted. Moreover, tho teacher suggested Hint her grandfather Judd might be willing, since It -was only the twelfth of Febru ary to let her start afresh In her efforts to win the book, and Serena Ann felt quite sure that he would. She could not remember that her grandfather had ever refused her anything. Her mother often said that she feared he would spoil her. Serena Ann had, during all the rest of that day, a vague Impression of a kind ly Intent toward her from everybody. She could not have expressed it plainly, but she felt a delightful surprise, nsi It she had a present, when people' looked at her, especially Johnny Starr, and the teacher, Miranda, hwr cousin Sam Wells, who wus one of the biggest boys In school quite a young man and --"Vx 'd!i ( $sm I l1S5v 1 ff el fa Fr "AV V VV tiki $VtkA TTxxV?! 1 r' (if p1 V. . when she cot, home, her Grandfather Judd. Her grandfather, of his own nccord, proposed giving her another trial to win his offered reward. "Might Just as well call It the year begins the thirteenth of February, as the first of January," said he, and Serena Ann was radiant. Then her fnther asked If she didn't want a slelghrlde with him. He had to go to the gristmill before supper. "The two will spoil that child," Mrs. Wells said, when Serena Ann had gone to put on her hood and iiat. "By good rights she ought to bo punished at home when, she has been punished at school, and lieru they are rewarding her." However, It the truth had been told, Seieua Ann's mother would have much preferred to punish the teacher. When Serena Ann came In, nil ready for her slelghrlde, she looked at the soft, Inno cent face peeping out of the red hood, and wondered Indignantly how Miss Little could have punished such a dear child for a first offense. Grandfather Judd turned to her, when their sleigh bells had jingled out of the yard. "Tell you one thing, Maria," said he, "that child's goin' to have a valentine to pay for havln' so much trouble." "Now, father, I don't know. I'm afraid It's kind of foolish" "No, It ain't foolish, either, Child's been cryln' her eyes out." "Yes, I guess she has been crying; here eyes were red, nnd she cries easy," admitted her mother. "I don't like to have her enter; she Is- so nervous." "She's goin' to have the handsomest valentine In Solomon Badger's store," PAYING ALL CUEATION FOR IT." declared Grandfather Judd, rising as he spoke. "Now, father, don't you go to pay ing all creation for It; a cheap one will please her just as well," charged his daughter, but she got his great coat and cap nnd mittens for him with alacrity. Grandfather Judd was a heavy man and subject to rheumatism, which seized hhn In his right knee before he had gone far on the snowy ground. He limped stlllly and painfully on, how ever. Solomon Badger's little store was about half a mile distant, and when he got theie he had to sit down and get his breath before he looked at the valentines. TO BE CONTINUED. wiiiiui: unit i.h;hk;kants co. From the Sun. Present immigration to the United Stntes ' amounts to nearly u thousand a (Jay. Jn the last fiscal year the total number of Immigrants was ai;i,uui) and the rate at which Immigration is ineieaslng makes likely a total for tills llscal year of about SCS.OOU, or l.uuou day, though, of course, im migration is larger In summer than in winter, and varies according to the con ditions of the times and climate. The general impression is that the great bulk of immigrants to the United States lind homes "In the great West," notably those from Hnglunil, Wales, Germany ami the Scandinavian countries. The contra ry, however, is shown by recent llgures to be the case. The states Into which Im migrants go by (preference are those on the Atlantic seaboard. Of 313,000 immi grants who landed In this country during the last fiscal year covered by the treas ury leport, UT.OiW meant to remain In Xnv York state. Some 1,000 others had Penn sylvania for their destination, nnd 3C,Uii9 Massachusetts; so that these three states absorbed about two-thirds of the whole Immigration to the United Staes. Minne sota, long a favorite among the Scandi navian and German farmers arriving in the United States, got less than half as many as went to Connecticut. For North Dakota the number of immigrants, was only 1.0S0; for South Dakota, C1J; for Ne braska, l.DIH; for Kansas, GUO; for Mon tana, 920; for Wyoming, 220; for Utah, 'JW, and for Idaho, 118. On the other hand, nearly 3,500 Immigrants found homes in Maryland, n state which has not been in previous years regarded as oll'erlng many inducements to Immigrants. Indiana got 1,914 Immigrants, and Missouri '2.IS3. Ken tucky attracted only 230, and North Caro lina only S7 Immigrants. West Virginia, absorbed 437, but the number thnt found homes in Florida was smprlslngly large, T.lu'J. The explanation of this Increase Is to bo found In the fact that, consequent upon the hostilities In Cuba, there was an Immigration of more than (!,000 Cubans from that country to the United StatPS last year and a large number of them found homes in Florida. A considerable number of Cubans, too, went to Louisiana, the foreign Immigration Into which was ',''-.'' ' 'ifli vv Vv'f .'''-'Y ''" V 'v' '- ''' "' "' ,'ifaslS' !

Tho public school teachers of the Fifth district held their second local Institute at Elinhurst Saturday after noon. The largo gathering of teach ers and friends from the outlying dis tricts, as well as the number of resi dents, In attendance Indicated very de cidedly the interest taken by them in educational matters. The Institute was called to order at 1.30 when Principal K'nnpp was chosen chairman and Principal Martin, of Moscow, secretary. No more suitable song could be sung by a congregation of teuehors than "Come Thou Almighty King," which was sung by the Insti tute ns the opening song. The llrst paper, "Morality In the Pub lic School," wns read by Miss Gon zales, of Moscow. Superintendent Taylor opened a discussion on the paper, during which he emphasized the necessity for a good moral basis being established so as to Insure the most effective mental development. Principal Martin followed, remark ing upon the brevity of life as com pared with that of eternity, und that consequently moral culture Is Incom parably the most Important part of the pupil's cducutlon. Miss Yost read a paper on "Pilmary Read ing." Some excellent things were re ferred to ns being useful In develop ing In young children the power to de cipher thought from printed matter. A discussion followed the rending of this paper, in which Mrs. Vaughn, Miss Uurch, Superintendent Taylor, and Principals Martin, Knapp and Do Pew took part. , Mrs. Vaughn took occasion at this point to show the Inability of teachers as well as others to express themselves In concise terms; to say what they wished to say and know when to stop. Principal Martin sang the solo, "None Can Forgive Like n Mother," one of those sweet pathetic songs, and was followed by Miss Uurch, of Mos cow, with a paper on "Language." The writer closed with a plea for the ex hibition on the part of every teacher of more enthusiasm In teaching this very Important subject. The discussion wns opened by Miss Gnven, Miss Yost, Mrs. Vaughn, Su perintendent Taylor and Principal De Pew taking part. Mrs. Vaughn spoke in scathing terms of the rise of the diagram In the analysis of sentences, questioned the utility of technical grammar, and closed with the expres sion that correct English, like liberty. Is only attained by eternal vigilance. The Misses Katie Nagley and Bessie Buckingham then sang very sweetly the duet, "In the Starlight." Superintendent Taylor took up the subject of "Writing." He thought writing the worst taught study In the public school. Position, movement and form Is logically the correct order In teaching writing. The paper on primary geography by Miss Wall showed careful preparation. The rendition of the solo "Say Au Re volr but not Good-bye," by Miss Nellie McAndrew, wns one of the pleasing features of the Institute. The calisthenlc exercises conducted by principal Martin was also a pleasing change in the regular work. After a song by the pupils of tho Elinhurst school, Mrs. Mnrgaret Vuu gluui spoke on Scientific Temperance Instruction in tho Public Schools, and In doing so prefaced her remarks by reading the state law regarding tho teaching of the effects of alcohol upon the human system. At the close of the address Superin tendent Taylor explained that the teachers of this county are ns well In formed In the subject of sclentlilc tem perance as they are In any of the branches taught In the public schools. He deplored the lack of public Interest in tho enforcement of the compulsory education law. The teachers sang "Auld Lang- Syne." Mrs. Buckingham playing the accom paniment on the orgnnT and then ad journed to meet at Moscow on Satur day, March 14. BONUS ix i:ij:ctiox CONTESTS. From the Pittsburg Times. A plan has been-adopted In Tennessee to avoid burdening the public treasury with frivolous contests for olllce, after there-suits buve been duly declared by the proper olilcers In uceordunee with the law. The plan adoptc-d by Tennessee Is to re quire the contestant to give a bond con ditioned to indemnify the public treas ury In ease of the failure of tho contest ant to sustain his claims. This Is a rule that might be followed with excellent ie sults III all the commonwealths of the Union, since there Is not a state or a mu nicipality, sinajl or large, that has not at one time or other been mulcted in large sums, as the result of frivolous contests, and tho aggregate amount of public money dissipated In this way would be lather startling were It summed up. As things are now, any one, lrom any motive, may set the expensive machinery of the HERCULES OPENS THE FIRST DOG KHOW.-Llfe.

NATIONAL AND LOCAL CURRENCY. From the Troy Record. Much has been heard of l.ito about tak ing the government out of tho banking business, although It Is well known thnt the government Is not hi the banking business, as that term Is commonly under stood, It guarantees the value of certain forms of currency, nnd that Involves plans for making tho gunranteo good. Be yond that it does not go Into tho banking business, and it Is dltllcult lo see how Its responsibility can be materially reduced by putting the currency Into the hands of the national banks. Tho government is behind tho bank circulation now, nnd it would have to guarantee that circulation under the proposed system, If state laws are not (o prevail and n return to wildcat banking Is to be avoided. The mnln difference between n strictly government currency and a national bank currency would be that primarily the duty of redeeming tho notes Issued would rest upon tho banks. Of course these would have to bo exchangeable for gold on de mand or the yellow metal would go to i premium. But, ns has been demonstrated many times of late, national banks lira not Infallible, and the government fre quently mlRht be called upon to make good Us guarantee. In order to be on tho safe sldo it still would have to maintain at least a moderate gold reserve. Then as now It would be "in the banking busi ness." A vexing question Is Involved In the matter or an "elastic" currency. Mr. De pew would have the national banks local ly "Issue currency as the needs of the community reqtUre." That Is what every one would like to see. The problem is, how to arrange so that this happy cur rency condition can be assured. No gov ernment has been able to duvlsc such a system and there are few Indications that a successful scheme Is to be among tho achievements of the Immediate future. There are dozens of propositions, but they will not stand the test of careful examina tion. It may be possible to arrange a cur rency which will make periods of tight money Impossible, but there will be many doubters until the plan Is in actual opera tion. And no system can be seemed which will make money easy for those who can not give satisfactory security. The Popu lists and the silver advocates complain that the volume of the currency is too small. No mntter how huge or how elas tic It may be made no one will be able to obtain a share of it except by earning It or borrowing It by the deposit of satis factory security. Tho small part which actual money plays In the transaction ot modern business greatly lessens the need for an "clastic" currency. Given condi tions warranting general confidence, the lack of cash siijllcleut to cover uny spe cial Increase In business would not be seri ously felt. The Republican position is that only moderate changes lu tho present form of currency will be necessary If the nation is" brought back to a paying basis. They believe that the llrst need Is a govern ment revenue equal to the outgo. That provided, the assaults upon the treasury gold reserve will be limited and unim portant. Tlie national experience slnee the resumption of specie payments abund antly bears out this opinion. That policy should be maintained until the desired "elastic" local currency Is discovered nnd tested.
