No one questions the value of a one-hundred dollar bill, though it is merely a bit of paper intrinsically worth less than one cent. v. why?

J. Thone No. Metuchen 179 lored; and had children of his own. He had many beautiful gardens and stately palaces. He had every wish gratified by seventy millioii souls.

Such a man should have become a very god of love and gratitude. In- stead, he turned and cut the breasts where 'children drink. He often, sat in a quiet woodland palace, and by a signature or a word sent hundreds of thousands of men to unspeakable agony and terrible death, yet he al ways spared his own sons. He murdered HtUe cut off tt--. the hands of little boys.

He tor tured innocent young women by tearing them from their homes and transporting them like cattle to distant He wantonly burned eities that held centuries of accumulated treasures dear to the art and learning of he whole world. He dragged labor-weary old men and women from their homes and shot them. He shot thousands of prisoners because an ounce of steel cost him less than a piece of bread. In history he will consort with Nero, Tamerlane, and Ivan the Terrible human" monstrosities! I do not know what men may think in future times, but this I know: They will demand to read that he, too, felt the sharp agony of violent death-. And if there be made a peace that doea not shed his blood, it will be a damned peace! For this America has clinched" her fist.

Arithmetic, particularly mental arithmetic, makes people good reasoners. When we were given those old tang-? lcrs about how many sheep a man would have if he had half as many agaifi and so on, to be determined only after long and tortuous pro- cesses, a fellow had to do some thinking. The long practice on this type of problem made the graduates of the Little Red Schoolhouse mentally alert. The long examples in interest and fractions made them t-.

The Germans think the way -to prove that they sincerely want peace and good will among the nations is to keep committing worse and worse outrages. The Government wants 5,000 stenographers and does not absolutely require that they shall either chew gum or use The crooks who think that from now on will be a good time to perpetrate crime are that there are 5,000,000 men in this country getting practice with firearms, and not all of 'em in the army camps, either.

The people who didn't raise gardens because they thonght it would be overdone, are now paying high, prices for their vegetables. That armistice with the Bulgar ians did not seem to prove more effective than could be expected of the Germans. The Bulgarians were supposed to be out of the war after Rey signed articles to that effect, but they have been pillaging and burning in Serbian territory. They may have to be licked to a finish if this is the sort of faith they keep'. If the Bulgarians who have made such pretensions of dislike for war, sorry they ever went into it, keep faith this way, what could be expected of an armistice or any kind of treaty with the Germans, who have never pretended to Jbe anything but barbarians and terrorists in this war? gSBUY LIBERTY PEOPLE'S FORUM Woman's Suffrage Question.

Practical education means turning out young people who can think things out straight for themselves, and no subject is better for that than mathematics.

The old-time schools over-did geog- raphy. It has some effect to broad- en tne mina. but the interminable memory work in learning the rivers of China and the mountains of South America was mostly lost time. Much of the information could be given as a reading lesson. Old-fashioned education placed great emphasis on teaching people to read with intelligent infiections-and clear enunciation.

It was a fine accomplishment. The modern tendency toward written work leaves some educated people so they can not read anything without stumbling, We have gone from one extreme to the other.
