Educational Meeting.
On Wednesday, August 2H, an educa
tional meeting was held In the M. K.
church. Between thirty-five and forty
teachers wore present.
The mocttnjf, under churtte of l'rof.
R. B. Toltrlek, County Superintendent,
opened about 10:00 a. m. Tho devotion
al oxorclscs wore conducted by Rev,
Perry A. Reno, after which Prof. C. (1.
Rugb, of the Clarion State Normal, was
Introduced. "School Management"' was
the subject of the first address by l'rof.
Rugh. Ho urged tho importance of
good management. "It Is by tho disci
pline that tho parents judge tho teach
er." At the conclusion of Prof. Rugh's ad
dress the mooting was led In song by
Prof. 8. G. Smith, of Columbus, Ohio.
Mrs. H. G. 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.

At a religious meeting bold in a ham
let near this place not long sinco, where

what under the influence of liquor arose
and said: "You all know that I have

the devil continually. Pray for mo that
I may continue faithful."

The Punxsutawney fair seems destined
to be attended by some fatality on Its big
day. The first year the man who went
up In the balloon lost his grip when high
In the air, and falling to the earth was
instantly killed. 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.

The Passing of Parker.
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.
