HOWARD WERT No. B—Stories of Pathos ami Human Interest From the Schools of I <o"S Ago At the time of which I am writing the public schools of our city were di vided into six grades, termed subpri mary. primary, secondary, intermedi ate, grammar and high. Most of these grades below the high school were supposed to consist of a two years' course. These terms have long been obsolete in Harrisburg's school work. There is a nine-year course leading up to the high school designated as the first year, second year, etc., but ar rangements have now been made by th school authorities whereby bright pupils. In certain grades of the work, can do two years' work of the curricu lum in a single year. This murh in explanation of what I am about to re late. A Man Who Studied With little Children There has been many incidents pa thetic and of deep human interest in the schoolrooms of the city as decade after decade of work has been record ed, some of which, at least, should be preserved as incentives or warnings to others. The DeWltt or old Lancas terian building in Walnut street, on the present site of the Technical High School, in which the writer was an assistant and subsequently a principal, for many years continued every one of the six grades enumerated above; and It was the only building In the city that did. In this building, in the years of the past. I have seen a husky youth of 17 years of age, a man in size, but six weeks in America, studying, day after day, with little children of the primary grade, to master the rudiments of the English language. There were then no night schools in our city, nor provision of any kind for adults who desired to learn. Patiently, uncomplainingly this manly fellow plodded on, day after day. He heeded not the gibes on the playgfiround, sometimes verging on coarse insults, that came from gram mar and high school pupils, who taunted him about his association with little children. He answered only with a smile the petty annoyances of the little urchins who wondered to see one of a size so gigantic in their midst. He had an object in view, and neVer for one moment did he allow that ob ject to pass from his perspective. He had been born to poverty nnd reared with want ever staring Into the win dows of his humble home. By patient drudgery his parents, in long years of toll, had at> length acquired the means to pay for a steerage passage to Amer ica—land of the free—land of equal opportunity. And this aspiring youth longed to fit himself quickly to enter into life's competition and help his parents to acquire a home. In three months' time, by study at school and practice at home, under the directoin of a kind neighbor, he had learned to read, write and speak the English language sufficiently to apply for a position. He was diligent, honest and painstaking, and rapidly rose to better and yet better employ ment. Fortune led him to one of the chief cities of the coal region where he was an honored, respected and useful citizen whose check was good for thousands.

And right beside him, in that primary school, were American-born youths who neglected every educational opportunity, thought it a feat of glory to "bag it," as young America termed truancy, and have tasted the bitter ashes of their neglect In all their future lives. I have seen boys come into that old Boys' High School of that Lancas terian building who were from homes of refinement and comparative wealth. They had fond parents who were de sirous of giving them finished educa tions. And I have seen some of these boys who continually shirked every i duty of school, defied parental author- I ity and Ignored every appeal of teach ers to apply themselves to honest, eon- | scientious work, —who became shift- | less bums and wandering vagabonds | on the face of the earth. I have seen beside these same short- j sighted youth, boys who came from the homes of Impoverished widows to | whom the purchase of the necessary i school books for a high school course | was an onerous burden. Studious, j ' alert, self-reliant, I have seen these poor boys go forth into ' the world I well equipped for life's struggle and to-day occupying commanding posi- j tions in the business, political and professional life of our own State and i of other Commonwealths. "Honor and shame from no condition I rise; Act well your part,—there all the: honor lies." Tet the same tragedies will be re- j peated till the end of time, —and along the ages men and women will discover, ! when too late, that a wasted youth I brings a life of remorse. A Heroine of the School Room Many years ago, when Miss Glvler ' presided over the Girls' High School | of Harrisburg. located in State street near Third, there was a studious girl i who won the love of all her teachers by her application and gentle disposi. tion. She never missed a session, but was tardy often—very often, always stating with an engaging smile that she had been detailed by some neces sary housework. The wonder of het teachers was somewhat excited when, on several oc | oasions, she was noticed dropping off !into a sleep at her desk. And inquiries I carefully made developed that she was indeed a heroine of humble life—one j of the thousands of this world's noble I souls who walk on, year after year, ! without a murmur, In the rugged path | of duty because it is the path of duty. I Her mother was dead and this gentie j girl in her teens had become a true, | devoted mother to her little orphaned j brothers and sisters. On some days i she rose at 4 o'clock In the morning | to do the family washing before she I started to school. From each session of school she hastened home to get j the meals; and long into the night she 1 patched and mended and did the thou sand little things necessary to keep up a happy and comfortable home. And with this all. she ever maintained a respectable standing in her class. It is a pleasure to add that the future had sunnier skies for this heroine of the schoolroom. 1 recall, In the years of the far past, a female teacher of our city who went to her grave a martyr to her sense of duty in keeping together in comfort a numerous and not top appreciative family all of whom seemed to depend on her and her alone to supply every thing, do everything, without them selves putting a hand to the oar. But she rests quietly, life's fitful fever o'er, and the story is best not to be paraded in its entirety at this late day.

Greatest Event in Woman's Life All human experience looks back to motherhood as the wonder of w.onders. The patience, the fortitude, the sublime faith during the period of expectancy aro second only to the mother love bestowed upon the most helpless but most marvel ous creation—a baby. Women are quick to learn from each other those helpful agencies that aid to comfort, that conserve their nervous energy and yet are perfectly safe to use and among those they recommend "Mother's Friend." It Is entirely an external application designed to lubricate the broad, flat muscles and skin that protect the abdomen. It has been in favorable use for nearly half a century and Is known to mothers almost every settled com munity In the United States who highly recommend You will find It on sal? in drug stores. "Mother's Friend" 13 utterly harmless, contains no deadening drugs and yet its influence in the skin and muscles beneath as also upon the network of nerves beneath the skin is very beneficial, very soothing and a. vonderful help. The muscles expand naturally and are not s»bjected to unnec essary surface strain and pain.
