The teachers' institute came in on time on Monday, amidst the keenest frost and brightest sun shine that a grand day in Novem ber can prodn-e. The most of the teachers are young, but that argues not against tnem, lor it a young teacher has tact and scholarly at tainment and is capable of enforc ing discipline they are better than an old teacher who has experience and a limited amount of the quali ties mentioned. Experience, how ever is a great tiling and many a veteran teacher, when they first started at teaching had a limited amount of tact, little scholastic attainment and less yet of the Ability of bringing a school nnder the restraining influence of dis cipline, and made a success, after years ot perseverance and exper ience. There are few teachers present who were present at insti tute thirty years ago. The talks are about the same that they were thirty years ago, on reading, writ ing, geography, algebra, arithme tic. It cannot be otherwise, for all new comers must begin where the veterans began and go over the same old paths. The numer als are the same they were cen tnries ago, and if the geography is not the same it is owing to the surging tide of human war and human emigration. Since the Juniata County Institute last met one year ago, the geographical ltouudary lines of the United States of America have been changed, and the government policy toward .foreign nations has been changed liie boundary lines of a nation may change but the text booVs do not change the principles, and therefore there have lieen few changes in methods of learning and teaching. The veterans are little in advance of the new re emits and yet the veterans have the claim to the honor of a long learning service and that is a glorious record. If there has not been a fortune in it there is now -. . more giory in it tnan tliey ever dreamed of when they took to the profession of teaching. "I have been a teacher 25 years, 30 years," is a glorious declaration that few an make. They know the books by heart, and they can almost re peat by heart the speeches that are made every insti. nte by teachers ot, teaching, reading, writing, arithmetic and other text book studies. They have trained minds, they know how to study, but study is study, it is work. A man may have muscles developed, he per haps learned to wield the axe 30 years ago, but to wield the axe is work, and he wields it no easier after 30 years experience than when he first began. lie may now know better how to give the axe the proper angle every stroke, but every stroke he gives requires as much muscular work as every stroke required 30 years ago. So with the veteran teacher, he may now know letter how to direct his thoughts but every thought comes to him with as much work as it did 30 years ago. It is work to think. An invention for thinking has not leen discovered. The only new things that have come since the veteran teachers were young are certain mechanical inventions that add to the material comforts of all, but there have been no discoveries to lessen the methods of thinking, and those who come along in the future along the lines of thought will have to go through the same hard work. There are no mechanical ap pliances of steam and electricity to lessen the work of thinking as there is to lessen the work of the muscles of men. This is the last institute that the present incumbent, Professor Marshall, can hold. Before anather institute can be held another sup erintendent will have been elected. Professor Marshall has had two terms in succession. There are a number of candidates talked of and some are feeling their way along the line of directors for the posi tion. Professor Sulouff, of Fay ette township, is in the field and has friends for the place. Professor Esh, is forging ahead with a good deal of vigor foi the goal, he is doing efficient work in Spruce Hill. Professor Mcf'lure, who is highly recommended by his friends, is an earnest aspirant for the place Professor McClure now teaches in Walker township. Professor Gort uer, principal of the MilHintown ovumrm, id a (.aimiuHie, ne is one of the best disciplinarians who ever taught in this town, and his course oi stiiaies commend them- selves to teachers and scholars far ana wiae. I'rolessor Killian, of Port Koyal. is on the list. Profes sor C "linger, of Susquehanna town ship, has friends who urge him for the place. So between the regular business of the institute, and the aspirations of professors, who are putting the solicitations among uireciors, mere is more than the usual interest taken in the institute The flirtation among directors for the superintendency is going on in great earnest. "The methods .employed are those to which the American people are educated in tneir electioneering life. There are no people in the world who .hold so many elections as the American people, they are holding elections almost all the time. They have their church elections, their Sunday school elections, their club and secret order, elections, their bank and other business associa tion elections; their sewing and other circle elections ; their town ship elections ; their county elec tions ; their state and nation elec tions, and thus they unconsciously become politicians. There is then no wonder that great interest is tak en in what is now going on in the un der current of the institute. It isn't said here that the boodler has crept in and is getting in his work. In some of the eastern counties oi Pennsylvania among them Berks and Schuylkill counties, it is said that the boodler book agent has been known to take an interest in the elec tion of certain directors with the un derstanding that if elected, the cer tain directors would use their in fluence in certain directions for bwks, and so it is said, that in certain counties book concerns take an interest in the forwarding of the interests of certain candi dates for the superintendency, with the understanding that if elected the superintendent will re cognize the fact that you have , o1.il'.n IliA nlnm 4 mla fft. linil now I'll shake it for your books. THE DUCK. HCSIHES. There is an unfounded prejudice against ducks and geese in the minds of many farmers. The usu al excuse is that they have a habit of puddling in every bit of water they find until they make mudhole there. Hogs have a similar habit . but no one objects to them on that ac count because the hogs are kept in their places. Mud is not necessary to the happiness of either ducks or hogs. In fact both are better if kept where they cannot make mud. Ducks should be kept out of the door yard and they have no place in the barn yard or about the watering troughs of any kind. They are so easily shut out of any place that it is not a hard matter to keep them from getting into mischief. They cannot crawl through a small hole in a fence and if the fence is three feet high they will never tret over it. Ducks will i inl' vttj-kiA 4 r r 4 Vi A 1- inla I of poultry, but they do not need it for any other purpose. If they are given their water in a trough over which slats are nailed to pre- vent them from trettincr into the water they will not make any more mud than other fowls. W het her kept for eggs or hatched to lie sold when ten or twelve weeks old, they are more profit- able than chickens and much more comfortable to handle, as they are domestic in their habits, easily tamed and always ready to eat al- most anything that is given them and turn it to good use by growing heavier all the time. Farmers' Voice. TUB PLACE EOR KISSING PEOPLE. People who are fond of kissing might be fully accommodated by moving to Stuart, Iowa, as may be learned from a despatch under date of November 12. The despatch reads. Stuart; Iowa, November 12. Osborne Deignan, one of the men of Merrimac fame, arrived here to-day, and M-as met by 500 people, who escorted him home. Eighteen or twenty club girls sur rounded him at the depot and at tempted to kiss him, but he push ed all liack, saying that there were handsomer men in the crowd than he. COffS GET DRVSK. A despatch to the Philadelphia Inquirer, dated at Trenton, N. J. 1. Dillatush, of Newtown, near this city, is the owner of two Al- dcruey cows who have been enjoy ing a first-class drunk during the past three day. The cows were pastured in a lot adjoining George Rice's farm. The latter made a quantity of cider early last week, and threw the "cheese" over the fence. There the squeezed apples fermented in the sun, and several hours later the cows discovered the feast, and eagerly devoured it. The following morning the cows gave no milk. They staggered alxmt, walking stiff-legged, now and then leaning against the fence, after the fashion of a man with a comfortable "jag." They bellow ed mournfully, and tried to run and kick up their heels, but could not keep their feet, and rolled over and over about the field. The cows were very, very drunk from the fermented apple pomade, and thev remained in that condi tion until this morning, furnishing amusement to crowds of spectators. Having gotten over their spree the cows to-day began to give milk as usual. THE BEST AMD CHEAPEST. The New York Independent, the leading weekly newspaper of the word, and one whose pages exer cise the widest influence, is enter ing upon its fiftieth year of publi cation. The Independent empha sizes its fiftieth year by changing its form to that of a magazine, and by reducing its annual subscrip tion price from $3.00 to $2.00; igle copies from 10 to 5 cents. The Independent in its new form will print 3,640 pages of reading matter per year at a cost to sub scribers of $2.00, while the promi nent magazines, which sell for $4.00 a year, print only about 2,000 pages. The subscriber to The Independent gets 82 per cent more of equally good reading mat ter at one-half the cost! It is not only the leading family weekly newspaper but by far the cheapest and best.

Boss ler, will sell fifty head of cattle, Blockers and feeders, heifers, cows, and bulls, at T. K. Heckman's place five miles east of Mifilintown, one mile south of Oakland Mills. at 1 o'clock p. m., on the 29th day of November, 1898. Amos Stonffer, a prominent and highly respected citizen, of Ferman- j agh township,died at his home near ! where he was born, November 17, 1 1898, at 11.55 p. m., at the age of 75 years, 8 months and 19 days. He was born at Cedar Springs, Juniata county, Pa., in the old mansion house, February 28, 1823. The Stouffers of long ago liked fine spring water. Mrs. Phebe Earle Gibbons, in her article on the Swiss Exiles, says the Stouffer's are of Swiss origen, and they liked a pretty spring. When they deter mined to come to America, ' 'the so .is made a wagon,alI of wood, and seat ed their mothei in it. She weighed three hundred pounds, they drew her in that wagon to the Rhine. When they got to Philadelphia, they put their mother into the wagon and drew her to Warwick township, Lancaster county, and there settled by a pretty spring, So when Christian Stonffer came to Juniata county and settled at the beautiful Cedar Spring he was following the instinct of his ances tors. Christian fetouffer settled at the Cedar Springs in 1812 Amos Stoufl'er was a son of Christian Stonffer, and next to the youngest of twelve children. Susan Stouffer I was the oldest, and married Chris : " ,j : ,i ; : uau .tie j a j uim iu iiuasuuri. Francis was the second daugh ter and was married to Joseph Gingerich, died in Centre county, Pa.

His second wife was Miss Sarah E. Graham, of Pfoutz valley. Perry county, to whom two children were born, a daugh ter and a son, Maggie and Amos. He lived with his second wife al most twenty-eight years. The twelfth child was Henry, who was married to Miss Elizabeth Gingerich, of Walker township, this county. They lived in the StouQer Mansion where this Stouff er family was raised. The house is now occupied by William A. Stouffer, son of Henry Stonffer, deceased. The twelve children of Christian Stouffer all lived to a ripe old age, to between 70 and 84 years, excepting Henry the twelfth child, who was taken away in the primeof life. Funeral director Snyder gave attendance at tbe funeral of Amos Stoufler last Monday, and Itev. Mr. Fahs preached the funeral sermon. A HERO, HOT A COWARD. A young surgeon who is newly returned from the wars, tells a story of an officer. It wss before Santiago. The surgeon, going to the front, came upon the young officer sitting beside the road. trembling like a leaf, and whiter than the dead men around him. At sight of the snrgeon he began to talk. "I'm a coward, I'm a coward. I'm a coward," he said. "I knew I'd run, and I did. Oh Lord ! I wish you'd kill me ! I'm disgraced forever. I just got scared. I knew I would. I was going along all right, not thinking of anything but getting at the dashed Span iards, yelling to my men to come on, and running ahead as fast as I could, when all of a e ridden I stub bed my toe or something, and then can't remember being scared, but I must have been, for I came galloping back here, sick as a dog. Oh,' I feel so awfully gone. I'm a blanked coward, and I wish I was dead ! Oh, Lord ! why don't some- bodv shoot met I've got such an awful goneness right here." and he put his hand to his stomach. The surgeon gave him a quick look and caught him as he plunged for ward in a faint. here the awful goneness was a Mauser bullet had found its billet. They carried the wounded man to the field hospital and he chuckled all the way. "Oh my ; Oh my !" he said over and over. "I wasn't scared! I wasn't scared!" And he would laugh delightedly. "I wasn't scar ed. I was hit I was just hit. I ain't a coward after all." MARRIED: Beale DeHcff. On the 15th inst., at Mifflin town, by Rev. 8. A. Daven port, Bruce Beale and Clara DeHuO.

Women have no higher thought from week's end to week's end than winning head prizes They grow nervous, irascible, bad tempered and ugly playing cards. Little crows' feet appear at the corners of their eyes after an even ing with whist, and deep, vertical lines plow themselves just above their noses. There are more plain women in Emporia who lost their bloom at the card tables than there are women who have worn themselves out over the kitchen stove. It is worry, not work, that makes Women fade, and cards are sapping the juice out of the town. Only the young people patronize the public library. . The old folks make "What's trumpt" the chief end of man. Cards have invaded the churches. One church has a big factional row looming up on the horizon because the pastor has jumped cards. Another church narrowly avoided it last winter. A third pastor sees his best customers whooping it up in whist clubs and hasn't the nerve to say a word. In the meantime poker rooms, which are just as im proving and elevating and just as helpful to the town as whist clubs, have opened on Commercial street, and the town is enjoying the fruit of the seed the women, have plant ed.- Emporia (Kan.)
