TELLING ON

Joel Peters us a turn of the road
brought the district school In sight.
"Not very," said Susie Conover,
frunkly, "though I confess that the
thought of Tommy lleldlng rather
alarms me. One boy like that In a
school can upset the discipline of the
entlri! body and I have heard nothing
but 'Tduimy lleldlng' since I arrived."
"He's a limb o' Satan," agreed Pe
ters, cheeringly. "I was going to have
a man teacher this year, but you
begged so hard for the place that
well, you can't say I didn't tell you
before you took the Job," he reminded
as he cramped the wheels to let the
girl climb out of the buggy. "You'll

member there's a state law against
whipping In the schools."
The school committeeman touched
tils horse with the whip and the speedy
mare vanished In a cloud of dust, while
Miss Conover went in with a show of
sternness to ring the bell that should
call the first session of the fall term.
Carberry school had gained an unen
viable reputation among pedagogues
Following the exposure of a scandal
In a large city school an alert legisla
tor had passed a lew against punish
ment of any sort In the public schools
with the exceptions of the imposition
of extra tasks and keeping unruly pu
pils In their seats after tho regular
dismissal time. It was argued that
punishment would be administered at
borne when needful, but the lawgivers
had argued without Mrs. Deldlng.
Left a widow with nn only son, she
had made an Idol of the boy. She had
declared that he should never be hu
initiated by being punished and con
tented herself with moral suasion an
exceedingly Insufficient means of con
trol when even scolding stopped at
the first sign of tears and Tommy
could cry with a promptness and abil
ity born of long practice.
"I could not bear to see tears In
eyes so like his father's," explained
the doting mother and, as Peters put
It. "Tommy worked his eyes for all
they were worth."
Extra lessons and staying in after
school had no terrors for Tommy. He

few teachers kept blm in more than

As a result Tommy's influence was
rll for evil and the Carberry school
had from three to five teachers a
term Joel Peters, who was chairman
of the school committee, bad grown
weary of looking for new Instructors
and had started to town for the pur
pose of engaging some quick-tempered
man aa teacher who might forget state
laws In his passion and spank first,
thinking afterward. Susie Conovc
bad pleaded so hard for a chance that
he had abandoned his hope of revenge
temporarily and had given her the po
sition with the assurance that she
could not last a term out.
It was a very tremulous teacher w ho
stood on the platform watching the
pupils file In, but she did not betray
her nervousness to the class and to
ber surprise she soon had things in
order. By four o'clock the school was
organized for the term.
Peters was waiting to drive her
Lome and he regarded her curiously
as she came smilingly down the path
"Get through without being killed?"
he demanded with a chuckle as be
helped her into the buggy
"I think that Tommy fielding has
been sadly slandered." declared Susie
withi warmth. "He was the best boy
of the entire school."
"You'd better knock wood," advised
Peters, tagely "Mebbe he was good
today, but the devilment's there and
It's naturally bound to come out."
The ominous warning dashed Susie's
confidence, but the days passed and

THEARLE
TRUMBULL
Tommy continued to be a veritable
model of a pupil Others at timet
were unruly, but Tommy actually
seemed arrayed upon the side of right
and he gazed In hurt surprise at those
who attempted to disorganize tbe
classes.
Even Mrs. Deldlng was pleased to
take notice and cited the new teacher
as proof of her oft-repeated statement
that Tommy needed only a kind word
to make him mind.
"The other teachers were brutal ami
the poor boy resented It as any boy
would," she declared at the Dorcas
meeting. "Miss Conover says sbe
hasn't bad to speak to the little dear
once and it Is almost the half term."
The other mothers nodded assent
Ingly and wondered what spell Susie
had thrown over the boy. That there
was a change was not to be denied.
The other pupils declared this to be
a fact and, without Tommy to lead
them astray, discipline was excellent.
It was not until the fall term wus
drawing to a close that the chance
came. Susie was delighted with ber
position. The mothers all liked her and
even Mrs. Heldlng smiled approvliigly
when she flashed past In John
Thearle's buggy after school hours In
stead of behind Joel Peters' mare.
Thearle was Mrs. (folding's brother
and she mentally assured herself that
anyone who could effect so great a
change In Tommy's reputatlou was
worthy even of her brother.
Then Tommy fell from grata. Some
impish freak threw the school Into mo
mentary disorder and a titter went
about the room when Tommy was told
that he must remain In after school
hours. The last time Tommy had been
kept In he had spilled tho better part
of a pint of Ink over the teacher's
dress. The Immediate result had been
that she had hurried home to get the
Ink stains out while they were fresh,
and Tommy had gone home, too. Now
he looked longingly at the dress and
wondered whether he dared repeat the
episode. Hut It was a very meek lad
who remained In his seat when the
others had filed out, and to ber sur
prise Susie found that he was crying.
Gently she sought to reason with
him. but he would not listen. He could
only sit and gaze apprehensively af
the door, and presently John Thearle
entered to ascertain thi cause of the
teacher's lateness.
He perceived the situation at a
glance and with never a word he laid
Tommy over his knee and used a ruler
until the boy promised to be good.
"I was tired of being known as the
uncle of the worBt boy In the school,"
he calmly explained to the astonished
teacher. "Tommy takes advantage of
the law in regard to punishment in the
schools and the knowledge that his
mother will not make good this fault.
I told him this fall that the first time
he was a bad boy he would get the
spanking that's been coming to him
ever since he was old enough to be
spanked. I have kept my word, as I
shall keep It again if It Is necesary."
"That ain't all you said," walled the
offended Tommy. "I'm gotn' to tell the
rest. You said If I drove Miss Susie
out of town before you had a chance
to marry her you was goln' f tan the
hide often me that'a what you said."
"Precisely," agreed Thearle. "I saw
you at the station that first day." he
explained, "and I loved you then. Su
sie. Do you think that there is a
chance for me? that you could stand
being the aunt of the worst boy In
towu?"
"I think," she said softly, "that I am
willing to be the wife of the nicest
man In town."
"Going to get married?" demanded
Tommy, eagerly.
Thearle started. He had forgotten
the boy's presence. "And If I am?" be
asked.
"Gee!" murmured Tommy, "I'll set
square on the next teacher."
The Ready Explainer.
"What did you think of my gradua
tion essay?" Inquired the young wom
an. "It was a profoundly thoughtful ad

"Hut I saw you yawn."
"A tribute to Its quality. It was so
profoundly thoughtful I Imagined for

The Cleveland club is well supplied

Rights of Married Men.
Judge Hugh Grimm In the St. Louis
circuit court the other day told Cor
nelius Cimpbell that "married men are
entitled to some rights In this world,
and when a wife objects to her hus
band attending a ball game or any o. ti
er Innocent amusement, be should as
sert his rights and go any way "
He gave Mrs. Lillian M. Campbell of
3447 South Second street, a decree of
divorce because Campbell did not con
test the suit. Campbell said they
could not agree about anything
Judge Grimm asked for some spe
cific incidents as to their disagreement
and Campbell said:
"She fussed wheu I wanted to attend
a ball game."
Cobb Surpasses Everybody.

they would "get to" Covaleskie, tbe

About the only reason ball players
had for saying they would hit Covales

last season was that they would play
the same kind of a game against him
that they played against any ordinary
pitcher
"We'll test his control," they said
"He used to get away with most any
thing, because he had us buffaloed ''
Whatever was the cause there Is no
doubt thai Covaleskie put the Jinx ou
many good ball players In the South

TEXT. Howlwlt. we know this man,
whnnoe he Ih, but whe'i Christ Cometh,
no mun knows whence He Is. John 7:27.
The fact that Jesus remained In
Galilee while hla disciples went to
Jerusalem to attend tbe feast of the
tabernacles aroused much discussion'
among the people. Suddenly in tbe
midst of tbe talk, Jesus appeared, and
began to address the gathering with
tbe utmost frankness. At this those
present were greatly surprised and
many were half Inclined to believe In
him. However, they said that there
la nothing wonderful, occult or mys
terious about this man. We know
blm, be Is the son of Joseph, the car
penter, and Mary. Therefore, be can
not be the Christ, for when be comes
no one will know of him. The sugges
tion that this man about whom there
was no suggestion of the preternatural
or mysterious was the Christ offended
the good people who were looking for
their Savior's coming. There was no
thought of the nobility of character,
the power of action, or the holiness of
the life that would fit the man to lead
God's chosen people, but that he was
too commonplace to be God's messen
ger. This error Is common, even toda)
In the age of advanced learning and
reasoning A great truth stated In
plain, comprehensible, unvarnished
words, will ofttlmes fall to Impress
the hearer, when a lot of high-flown
phrases, possibly meaningless, will
give a conviction of depth of thought
and power of expression. In fact, one
of the most popular books of the day
has won Its laurels in this manner.
Throughout the ages the world ban
been humbugged by those who played
on this preconception of wisdom.
The real .truth whon It comes to us
Is almost always Just the reverse of
this thought It la simple, easily un
derstood, with no suggestion of the
mysterious, occult or profound. Thus
we find that the people are wrong In
the main part, for the best messages
ano) Ideas are often conferred In the
simplest of terms and come from the
common man or woman. It Is Indeed
well to be hospitable In the entertain
Ixg or strangers, for they may turn out
to be angels or God. Abraham In en
tertaining the three travelers round
thnt they brought to him God's mis
sion on earth for him Lot, at the
gate or Sodcm, welcomed the footsore
wanderers, who warned hlra or the
destruction or the city. Not every an
gelic visitation has been made In this
simple manner, but It Is enough ror us
that many or the Important ones have.
To dute all the progress made along
lines or religious development have
tended to simplify and to make more
plain the ways or God. Frowning In
his prologue to "Oscelo" has stated
very beaut Ifully that man has stripped
the covering or mystery from the
trees, the mountains and the lakes,
but that In doing so. It has brought
him Into closer touch with the Lord
God Is Indeed revealed In bare nature
His truth Is shown In thu phenomena
despoiled or their myster; and lllti
slon. To those who go beyond the
mere phenomena, and gut Into their
meaning, God Is rar mere wonderrul
thnn to those who regard him simply
as the ruler or all things If we could
see and hear completely, we would be
certain that all around u are revela
tions or God. The every-dny rrlend
ships or the office, the shop, tbe home,
are ninny voices crying Uie will aud
love or the Lord.
To return to the story, we find that
the people at the feast still believed
that there was a Christ to come, and
this faith Is commendabl-i. Had they
believed that this man was the Mes
siah, that the divine bad transfigured
the human and that the human had
not dragged down the .Mvlne, they
would have grasped the great truth
In the matter. The secular Is the
shrine of the sacred and not Its grave
God's love reaches out and through
human love does great tilings, at the
same time completely changing the
latter. To some unfortunate people
the destroying of the mysterious by
science has also taken away God
That Is a grievous loss. All the deep
er, diviner Influences that reach the
human life are as active now as they
ever were. We still nee 1 Inspiration
from above, encouragement and love
which can be found only through God
All thnt tends to dignify and to make
beautiful the common and natural
things Is God, and to fall to sense tbe
great love of God Is to fall to secure
a working foundation for life and for
eternity. Losing God's lo"e, we lose
that which our best natures demand
and need.
The thought tnat angels may ap
pear In the garb of the common, every
day traveler or worker Is the begin
ning of wisdom, but not Its end In
order to complete tne thought we
must hear tbe message brought and
then go out and apply It to our lives,
do the task demanded and grow big
ger. Then, even as angels appear as
one or us, so we as common peopl
or the earth can do the work of an
gels. What are angels 3ave mesaen
gers and workers for God? In this w
find the real meaning of Chrlstla

has never had a sore of any kind. He

I am so glad you told meorCutlcuni.
