Carmalt, superintendent of the model department of tho Indiana State Normal school, gave an nddross on Primary Reading. The Importance of reading was emphasized as tho chief factor In making ready writers: also in thought getting. Tho teaching of reading must start with tho child's vocabulary; hence, the first step should be conversation; tho second, the asO' elation of the object with the printed form. A combination of the word and sentence method Is advised. Prof. Smith, after a brief talk on . music, led In tho closing song of the first session. The afternoon session opened with an address by Prof. Rugh on Recitation Planning and Assigning. Tho teacher must first grasp the theme of the lesson as an organic unity which Is to be de veloped by the recitation. The recita tion should consist of three parts; 1st the review gotting the mind In the spirit cf the lesson; 2nd the view tho new work; 3rd the prevlow tho as. algnment which should always bo In the form of a problem. Mrs. Carmalt then gave a talk on 'Language, which should be a training of thought both by oral and written ex pression. Brief talks on "Essentials to Success" by Prof. Rugh and "Busy Work" by Mrs. Carmalt concluded the regular work of the day. After a short talk by Prof. Toltrlek, who gave the teachers good suggestions and encouragement. the meeting closed, with all teachers feeling benefited by the day's instriuv lions.

The second year a fire broke out in the business part of tho town and entallod thousands of dollars worth of loss, and for a time really threatened to destroy a great portion of the town. This year a horse ran off on the streets and injured a man named Shaffer so badly that it was thought lie cannot recover. And now, this year a young man from the neighborhood of Klttannlng lost his life while returning home. DuBois Exprem. "That's the finest soda I ever drank."

Occasionally the hum-drum roullno of Intercourse with tho ordinary men, our brothers, Is enlivened by contact with, or hearing of a person possessed of a superior capacity for doing original things or acting in a freakish manner. Such an ono appeared In Reynoldsvllle n few years since, shining brilliant for n season and then disappearing from tho knowledge of our townsmen. Parker was his name and ho was a curiosity In more ways than ono. He wasn't a very prepossessing chap when ho first struck town, for though genius and threadbare clothing often hob-and- nob, nevertheless we are Inclined to look with suspicion on the Individual so dressed. But genius will not bo hid, and Parkor needed no clothing to make himself famous. With a volubility that could como only of long practice he could spin yarns by the yard of his es capades; In fact he told a good many more than he was ever in. His friends knew him well, laughed at all, believed what they would. Ho claimed to be a workman of a very difficult trade, and, by a strange coincidence, there happen ed a vacancy in his trade in town just at that time. He was employed but proved to be not an expert in his line. For awhile things went comparatively quiet. When pay day came there was a startling motumorphosls in Parker Ho suddenly blossomed forth In new clothes from head to foot, and certainly no one was ever more at home in a fine suit than he. With a well built figure, wavy black hair, a dutnty little cigar ette, and a face always tho Image of good humor, he was a prominent char acter on the streets. He surprised a a jeweler by dickering for a diamond set ring; be surprised bis lundlady by throwing her downstairs when Bhe ask od for money. Ho flirted with the girls and talked blandly at the same time of his wlfo-to-be In Philadelphia. Disap. pearlng on a Saturday night, ho reap peared on Monduy saying he had been in the eastern part' of the state. Par ker never stopped talking, and cared little what he said. Sometimes he was making preparations to go on the road with a show; to others hn waa talking of staying here. Ono day he went to a minister and engaged him to marry himself and a girl, whom, he said, would arrive that day from Phlladel phia. The hour arrived, the minister was ready, but Parker and his bride came not. Whether it was all a farce arranged by the inimitable) Parker, or whether he was really disappointed no one knows. Then he disappeared once again, this time apparently for good, for anothor took his position. Creditors in alarming numbers suddenly bobbed up. To all which there was only the answer that he had left for parts un known. Three weoks afterward Parker drop ped In from the skies, blandly soothed his worried friends and quieted hi creditors not by money but by talk. Happening to drop in at the place of his old employment, he became engag ed in a quarrel with the new workman, who ordered him out, and to emphasize his words picked up a mallet and went for Parker. Purker vacated. A day afterwards he informed his boarding house keeper that his mother was dead and he was going to attend her funeral Happening to pass by Parkers room door a half hour later, the host heard him merrily singing a negro dialect song about his "muddor in -de cotton flol' plckln' cotton," whereupon the host seriously doubted the gentleman's story But Parker loft that evening. Left too without paying his landlord, his tailor or his numerous other creditors. So came and so went the Inimitable Parker. His acquaintance was costly to some, but amusing to more. The majority smiled and forgot. BUSINESS CARDS. .WW ft MITCHELL, J ATTORN EY-AT-LAW. tMnm n Warn M uln ...w.ll tl.al Gommorclu. Hotel, Kt'ynnUlnvl.h', Pit, G M.
