TEACHERS ARE
NOT HAMPERED
State Health Commissioner Dixon
was asked what effect tlie opinion of
Attorney Geueral Carson, that parents
o»Duot be tiued uuder the cuuipulsory
attendance law in easts where the
children had been debarred from school
for not being successfully vaccinated,
would have upon theeflorts the Health
Department are makinp to have the
vaccination la# enforced throughout
the schools of the Srate.
"I do not see," the Commissioner
replied," that it should have any effect
whatever, as the Attorney General
does uot it) any way question the doty
of the teachers to obey the I\w of the
Gotntuouwealth aul that is all we
have ever asUe.l tlieni to do.
"That brings up a point that I would
like to make plaiu. The teachers in
charge of schools in Pennsylvania are
not require ! to iefuse admission to
childreu until they are vaccinated,be
cause the Department of H» alth has
bo oidaiued. It- Is the law of the Com
monwealth, a law passtd for the pro
tection of the public health. The
health of 'die people has teen entrust
ed to this Department.! propose to see
to it that the Health law is carried
out.
"in this dttermination I have the
00-operatiou of hundreds of local
boards of health throughout the State,
school directors and the teachers
themselves. Of course, there has been
opposition. This w.is to be expected.
In some cases school directors them
selves have opposed the enforcement
of the law and have gone so far as to
instruct their teachers to admit chil
dren regardless of whether they had
been vaccinated. In despair the teach
ers have written to this department. I
fully appreciate the", difficultjponition
that this places the teach<T 4 iD. '■ Par
ents aud school directors combine,, to
influence such a teacher to become a
lawbreaker. The only answer*l.could
give has been to quote the law."

"Pretty! It Is profane to call her 1
I merely pretty," Wheaton said, staring '
covertly ut Helen Marr. "She is well
named." he went on. "Can't you fancy
Uer's the •
"Face that launched a thousand ships
And burned the topless toweri of Illlumr'
"No," Norrls answered with a laugh
tug shake of the head "Remember,
I'm neither artist nor painter, nor even
Bohemian merely a village landlord, '
whoso chief concern Is to keep teraia
with his tenants, aud used to se«Uig '
pretty girls, even very pretty girls, 1
every day In the week."
"If you call her pretty. 1 repeat your
case Is hopeless," Wheaton persisted. '
This time he spoke very low, but not
so low as to escape Helen's ear. She
was coming toward them on her dap
pled pony, her hat hanging at the back
of tier head aud a sheaf of wild roses
In the hollow of her arm. The pink of
the roses was deepening In her cheeks,
and sbe would have ridden past with
1 the merest Inclination of the bead but
that Billy Boy, spoiled beast, was of
another mind. He whinnied Joyously
to Norrls, ami when he got abreast of
that gentleman planted his four legs,
, obstinately refusing to budge, his whin
ny changing to a plaintive whicker of
protest.
"I see Billy Boy Is constant—not
proud and haughty like his mistress.
He does not Ignore his friends If he
does happen to find
pany," Xorris said, stepping to the
pony's head and letting him rummage
> a sugar lump out of his pocket,
i Norrls tried to speak with his usual
bantering friendliness, hut not very
successfully. He wished. Indeed. Billy
Boy had been less his constant friend,
E since ho did not want to present Wbea

there was no help for It—lt served him
' right for spoiling the creature so. But
there were mitigating circumstances to
[ the spoiling
i The Marr paddock adjoined his own,
and while holding converse with Billy
( Boy across the fence of It, giving him
! bread, sugar or sweet apples, he ne«d-
I ed no excuse for likewise holdfng con
verse with Miss Helen. She was shy
of him when they met socially, for,
though Norrls would have scrupled to
admit it, he was the catch of the vll- i
lage, much courted by the eager and j
rather let alone by the self respecting, j
Beyond their pride and their pedigree
the Marrs had little. Helen's chief di
version, indeed, was the rides she took
about the red roads and the shady
lanes which led from the village Into
the deep country.
Wheaton was not a bad sort, but he
was a city man and, Norrls more than
suspected, a trifler, making love to
every very pretty or very plquaqt face
he encountered. He was, moreover,
disgustingly good to look at. Thus
Norrls contrasted mentally Wheaton's
supple elegance with his own burly
strength. Wheaton played at being an
artist, chiefly by way of diversion. lie
had Just enough money to keep himself
In luxurious idleness and no will what
ever to Increase the sum of It or divide
the spending. Norrls knew all that;
therefore he raged Inly, mainly at him
self, while Wheaton talked to Helen,
the while coaxing Billy Boy to stand
obstinately still by giving him tufts of
tender roadside grass. It was play
fully done, so playfully Helen did not
In the least see through It.
She got over her shyness very quick
ly and talked brightly to Wheaton, glv-
I Ing him now and again dazzling smiles.
It took her all aback to have Norrls at
the end of fifteen minutes Jerk Billy
Boy's bridle sharply and send him can
j terlng homeward with a sharp slap on
the rump.
As the pony cantered Helen won
' dered what she had done to displease
} Norrls. He had looked gloomier and
- older than she ever had seen him and
j had growled In answer to the goodby
j she had thrown to him over her shoul
der.
Before the week end she had ceased
to think of Norrls, of Billy Boy, of
anything, indeed, save aud except
5 Wheaton. They had ridden through
* the long summer mornings together
S aud spent the silver moonlit evenings
1 strolling about the village, never get
ting beyond hail or the range of frlend-
B ly household lights. Helen went bare-
I headed; Wheaton Instated upon It. He
Insisted, too, that he must paint her—
s not in the heat of the summer, but
} when he came back in the fall. He
b was coming, of course. He had not
i dreamed that his own country held
j such beauties as the region round
j about had disclosed. Possibly he would
settle down there and make himself
famous by perpetuating the charm of
1 Its grassed reaches, its towering hills,
the silver of its brooks and the soft. Il
limitable purples brooding above Its
big fields.
Helen listened as one enchanted. She
was just nineteen, unworldly as a new
» fledged dove aud full of romance and
5 the worship of romance. Wheaton
112 seemed lo her a creature apart, a
r denizen of another world, one In which
she herself belonged of right, although
she would no doubt be the simplest,
the humblest, there. His tales of tho
city, of tli" siu !ios. the cafes, the spar"
kle and fe ini of existence, fascinated
her as nothing else had ever done, not
even the ">,l f'hnnleles. which hereto
fore had served her instead of fairy
tales.
Wheito.i really talked well, hot then
Helen's listening was in itself Inspira
tion. Add that he was as much In
love a-< his temperament admitted, and
j It is easy to understand how he seemed
to her inspired. He did not look for
ward or backward at anything except
the day and the pleasure of it. Helen
had ch rrned her as that other Helen
7 no doubt channel] I'aris. What won-'
3 der that he reveled in the charming?
j without a thought of how it might end!*
lie did not even see what it all meant
to Norris, good old Norrls, who was too
staid and phlegmatic ever to know tho
real meaning of life He loved to make
Helen talk of him By her stories
i Norris had been to her a sort of com
? bined knight errant and fairy god
father There was no hint of romance
In them, for all sho had colored so
beaut if III; and flung uglier head In
telling of the traps and pitfalls the vil
lage bad set for him It was plain she
1 knew Norrls to be a prize of the chase
* matrimonial. Perhaps that was why
Wheaton felt moved to ask one day
i as they sat tin ler the big apple tree at
the edge of tho paddock:
"Little Helen, why don't you save
Norn - from his pursuers? You could
do it, you know by taking him your
self."
"Thank \ hi. That's just what I've
been wanting to ask this last two
years," Norri.i said, vaulting over the
fence, i* \,l.ijoi uiubuih he had cu|u« 1
Upon Idem unseen "Will you tatie me.
Helen V"he went on, heedless of Whea
ton's presence. Helen gave a little cry
and bid her face In her ha mis.
She had risen \\ hcatou also stood
up. Both men towered nbuve her, look
Ing defiantly Into each other's eyes.
"Will you lake me. little girl?" Nor
rls repeated, catching her hand and
laying it against his cheek. He felt it
tremble delicately before Helen snatch
•*d it away She looked up at him al
most piteonslv. then turned to Wliea
ton.
\\ heafon's face was a battlefield.
All at once lie was discovering that he
did not know all of himself. Under the
dilettante, the man of leisure, there
was another, somewhat primal, self,
with somewhat also of primal force.
And this fellow was wild to spring at
Norrls' throat, to rend and strangle
him. and. having rent him. bear away
the prize Vet with the other half of
him Wheaton knew that If he had but
heard of rather than heard Norrls' love
making he would have smiled approval
of It as a good ending to something
otherwise tangled.
This other man saw, too and was
shamed bitterly by the sight—the love
light playing In Helen's innocent eyes.
She was not for him. He had better
break her heart at once than at piece
meal. That would be the end should
he be mad enough to marry her. He
would tire of her of any woman. But,
oh, the twinge at thought of her anoth
er man's wife! He shut his teeth on
It and took both her hands slim hands,
hanging helplessly at her sides. He
wanted to clasp and kiss them and lay
them against Ills breast, but a certain
fiber akin to manliness made him In
stead hold them firmly as one might
hold those of a frightened child while
he said huskily:
"The play Is done, Helen. I'm going
away, straight abroad, never to come
back. Won't you let me think of you
as—happy Helen Norrls?"
"Why think of me at a 11V" Helen be
gan proudly.
Billy Boy Interrupted her—Billy Boy,
who felt he must be In everything He
came between her and Wheaton and
gently crowded her toward Ills favorite
Norrls, then, whirling about, kicked
Wheaton heels over head.
Thus a tense moment became filled
with comedy. Thus also Helen found
out that laughter Is balm for loveslck
ness. Who could be sentimental over
a lover sent sprawling to grass? Not
Helen, certainly.
By this token she married Norris he

In a letter to a college friend Ruskin
wrote: "The object in all art is not to

the knowledge, but to kindle the itnagi

by the fewest words touch the great
est number of secret chords of thought
!n his reader's own mind and set them
to work in their own way. To put
plain text Into rhyme and meter 's
easy; not so to write a passage which
every time it is remembered shall sug
gest a new train of thought, a new sub

mystic secrecy of beauty which Is tho
seal of the highest art. which only
opens Itself to close observation and

something with a small instrument,
set the watch by a regulator and,
handing it back, said, "It's all right
now, and I've set It by the correct
time." "How much?" said the custom
er, relieved. "Nothing," was the an
swer. "But I can't let you work for
me without pay." "We never charge
any one for such a service. Why
should we charge you? The hairspring
was doubled, and that made the watch
run fast. A single touch set it right."

THE HOMER OF PORTUGAL.
Caniurn*, the Ulltrd and l'nfortonnl®
Author of"The Lunlatl."
"The Lusuvd" is one of the noblest
records ever written of national glory
and success. Camoens, Its gifted au
thor, determined to do for Portugal
what Homer had done for Greece. The
great poem was written In the six
teenth century, which has been called
the heroic age of Portugal, and Its
main feature is the rounding of the
Cape of Good Hope by Vasco da Gama,
while a most Interesting episode Is the
crowning after death of Inez de Cas
tro as queen of Portugal. "The Lu
slad" took its name from Luslus, who
was said to have founded Lisbon.
Its author wns born about 1520, and
his career, which began brilliantly, was
blighted by the death of a broken heart
of the lady of his love, for whose sake
he was banished from the land. He
wrote "The Lusiad" In his banish
ment and was recalled In 1571, losing
on the way all his property except
his poem. Pensioned at first by the
king, this great epic poet of Portugal
died in great poverty in 1570, when his
i patron was also dead.

most beautifully. He said iu part :
"We have met upon an occasion ami

bute to their memory, »nd the per
petuation thereof, is » co-tom bound
ed bv no territorial limitations, limit
ed to no race or color or creed. It
matters not what form the expression
of this sentiment mav take, the sub
stance —the thought,remains the same.
All civilization —all peoples—int-tinc
tively shrink from the idea or eternal
oblivion, and in thus keeping green
the memory of those who have gone
before we express the most heautitul
sentiment ot the human heart,and per -
haps unconsciously reveal the hope
within us. that no matter what may
have been our station in life—wheth
er we may have risen from the ranks
or not —whether we have played a
great part in the drama of life or nor
eudeavor limited to an humble envir
onment—that our resting place shall
not go unmarked, and that our mem
ory shall not, at least by some, be
forgotten. Bowing then to this senti
ment, and prompted by motives that
go unquestioned, the members of our
order have come today to give full ex

<* vital organs or the
kidneys themselves break down and waste
away cell by cell.
Bladder troubles most always result from
a derangement of the kidneys and a cure is
obtained quickest by a proper treatment of
the kidneys. If you are feeling badly you
can make no mistake by taking Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp=Root, the great kidney, liver and
bladder remedy.
It corrects inability to hold urine and scald
ing pain in passing it, and overcomes tha'
unpleasant necessity of being compelled to
go often during the day, and to get up many
times during the night. The mild and the
extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon
lealized. It stands the highest for its won
derful cures of the most distressing cases.
Swamp-Root is pleasant to take and sold
by all druggists in fifty-cent and one-dollar
sized bottles. You may f' • V 7""
have a sample bottle of
this wonderful new dis
covery and a book that
tells all about it. both Home of Swamp-Root
