LOCAL INSTITUTE. Supt. Koehler Attended Local Insti tute of Berlin and Oregon Townships. The teachers of Berlin, and Oregon townships held their local institute at Beach Lake on Saturday, Dec. 18. Mr. Koehler acted as chairman of the institute and gave some very help ful suggestions to the teachers. The first paper in the morning, "Literature in Child-life" was read by Mayme Maloney. Anna Schmidt next read a very good paper on "Hygiene of the School Room." It is impossible for the mind to do its best work when it inhabits a feeble, diseased body. Pure air is one of the essential things in a school room. The afternoon session opened with a well prepared paper on "Tho Value of Good Literature," by Regina O'Neill. Too little attention is given to the reading of good books. Great care should be taken in the selection of books for our libraries. To enjoy a good book one should be a good reader, and to be a good reader con tinued practice is necessary. Gertrude Mae. Lee very ably dis cussed the subject of "School Dis cipline." Teachers should be im partial. Obedience should begin with the larger pupils; tho smaller ones never resist when authority is es tablished with those above them. Make but few rules. Corporal pun ishment except in extreme cases, should be avoided. Ethel Ham next read a very In teresting paper on "Passing the Old Time School." The pupils of the old time school wore more enthusiastic than tho present day pupils. More time should be given to tho, slow pupil. Give kind and encouraging words to all who deservo them. An excellent paper on "History" was next read by Frances Gray. His tory should be taught by the cause and effect method. The purpose of teaching history Is to make good citizens. In order to attain the above purpoBo the teacher needs an ade quate preparation for the work. In the assignment of the lesson Im portant paragraphs should be em phasized. Outline maps may be used to a great advantage. Too much stress Is placed upon the campaigns and battles. The next paper, "Primary Eng lish' was very well discussed by May Peterson. Children are barn imitators. The child la the true re flection of his environment Acquir ing a vocabulary la a very Important feature In primary English. M .Florence. Maloney next Vead a pa- per OB "GharacUr Bulldia," Tx pictures -of famous men and women may be used to a great, advantage. The greatest thing a. man can give, to his fellowmen is himself. The one thing,, that will, stamp, you as a man among men Is character. Tho concluding numbor was an excellent paper on "What is an Edu cation," by O. D. Henshaw. ZELAYA'S ARMY FLEEING. Revolutionists Predict That Estrada Will Be Proclaimed President. Bluefields, Nicaragua (by Wireless to Colon), Dec. 23. The army of Zelayn Is in full flight. With the Insurgents under Generals Fornos Diaz, Cbamor ro and Matuty whipping them along from behind and picking up stragglers as prisoners every mile of the way, the government forces are retiring as rapidly as possible from the scene of their defeat. The revolutionists are predicting that their leader, General Juan J. Estrada, will be proclaimed president of Nicara gua before the week Is over. The battle near Recreo was a com plete victory for tho revolutionists. Their forces under Generals Chamor ro and Mcna made a combined attack upon the position of the government troops at Rama and Recreo and after great bloodshed carried the breast works and lntrenchments, taking many prisoners and driving the Zelaya troops , before them. Major Salome Guerraro, one of the heroes of the severe fight, was killed while leading an assault with a ma chine gun battery. The Americans with General Estra da fought well and received praise from their leaders. The victory was due to the expert handling of the Colt automatic guns by an American named Conrad from Louisiana. The Zelayist force now numbers 1,600 men, who are badly demoralized, while the revolutionists number 2,000, all In good fighting condition. Commander Shipley is prepared to land a force of about 300 American marines here in case of emergency. General Estrada will march on Greytown or San Juan Del Norte, at the mouth of the San Juan river, in a day or two. A force of about a thou sand Zelaya troops under General To ledo has been besieged there for the last month. The expectation Is that Estrada will compel, the surrender of Greytown before he begins an advance on Managua. ROCKEFELLER'S CHRISTMAS. To Be Very Simple; No Tree, No Mu sic, No Children to Sing. New York, Dec. 23. John D. Rocke feller, the richest man in the world, will Spend the very simplest sort of Christmas day. He will have turkey, but no Christmas tree.

Captain Roald Amundsen, discoverer of the north west passage, has begun a systematic search for Dr. Cook, whose hiding place Is said to be near Christlanla. Tho mysterious disappearance of Cook at a time when ho was expected to keep in close touch with the Uni versity of Copenhagen, which was testing his claim, was the first cause of the doubt of bis story, which the, university now brands as false. So far Captain Amundsen's efforts' have been fruitless, .though Chris tlanla, Copenhagen and other cities have been searched for traces of the loBt explorer. Amundsen will devote months If necessary to the quest. CORNER IN TURKEYS. Pennsylvania Dealers Find Themselves Unable to Fill Orders. Wllkesbarre, Pa., Dec. 23. Small dealers In Bradford, Susquehanna, Wayne and adjacent farming counties have discovered that turkeys are so scarce that they will be unable to. sup ply their regular Christmas trade, ow ing to the fact that the supply .has been cornered by big wholesale and retail dealers of this city, Plttston and Scranton. One dealer in Towanda, who had fifty orders from customers for tur keys, was obliged to cancel almost all of them, the farmers being unable to give him any. Tho turkeys are selling here at from 30 to 35 cents a pound, and dealers say the supply they have been able to get is short of the de mand. The price is expected to ad vance tomorrow. One Way.

Four savage children, ranging in age from 3 to 11 -years, who had never been washed or seen a stairway, have been found by Superintendent Kimball, of the Society of Prevention of Cruel ty to Children, in a rude hut in the Orange mountains, a few miles from the busy city. They were won over only by the story of Santa Claus. When taken to the society's home and placed In a bath tub they were terrified and resented the bath- for fear the operation would torture them. When told to ascend the stairs, they climbed up by their hands. The children were very much surprised when the society people dressed them In regular clothes, for heretofore they were ac customed to .wear nothing but rags on their feet and bodies. The father of the children Is a woodchopper. Their mother is dead. BENJ. H. DITTRICH. Lessee & Manager.
