Remlniscenscs of Randolph.
Bj W. W. Andrews.
I um now an octogenarian and
. like most other old persons the
scenes of my early youth are plainer
to my mind now than things that
happened a few months ago and I
hare been thinking it pussible thai
. some young persons of the present
day might like a history of my
school-boy days. It would enable
them to judge by comparison the
difference between then and now.
And, as only facts arc wanted m
history, I shall confine myself to
facts, stubborn facts. It matters not
how much 1 may be tempted to
stretch the truth, exugerute or give
a false coloring I shall state facta,
stubborn facts.
In 1830 the time I started to
school there was no school house in
our section. There was a log meet'
ing house we hud the privilege to
occupy, it being about fourteen feet
square at t lie foundation and con
siUerably smaller at the top. The
way that happened was that I he
man that cut the logs wus one eyed
and could not sec but one end of his
measure-pole at the same time, so he
eut a little bit off every time he
measured a log. At the south end
there was a log cut out entirely
across the house, then there were
auger-holes bored and pegs drove
and a plank laid on them where
seven or eight students could write
at oue time after a copy set by the
master. The walls of the home
were made tight by little poles being
driven in the cracks. Xo upper
floor, no chimney, no stove, no tire
The seats were arranged in the ful
lowing manner: There was u loj
placed across each end then two in
the middle about 4 feet apart. This
passway led from the door to the
pulpit, thttii split logs were laid on
at suitable, distances for seats, the
left side for the women ami the
right for the men. The pulpit was
2 1-2 feet high and 3 feet aitai
entered by steps, then the door was
shut and the preacher was out of
sight until he stood up and if lie
could not see over the book stand lit
mounted a little bench prepared for
snch an emergency. This was Ion
before a free school or common
school was dreamed of in our section
But we were not without, a teach
er. In all ages of the world the
right mau has appeared at the right
time. Unly two things were
thought necessary to qualify a man
to teach, learning and a tierce look
Our teacher was deemed great in
both these quulitications. If u well
educated, retiued, bright eyed, sweet
tempered girl had applied fr our
school she would have stood 0
chances out of 10 of being burned
for witch-craft.
It is not an easy matter tn describe
our teacher still 1 must do the beat
I can.
The wag of our ceighborhood said
he was made by one of nature's
journeymen or yonng apprentices
eat of coarse material, that the first
calculation was that he was to be a
man 5 feet 10 inches high. His
body was the right length but so
much of his legs ruu out to feet and
spread out on the ground that he
was but little over 5 feet. His bodv
seemed to be as stiff as a poker.
When he walked it looked like hh
legs were mn by some invisible ma
chinery. Some thought the reason
he did not bend was because he was
stuffed so full of learning. Every
hair on his head stood straight up
like a dust brush and was of a sandy
red celor. His upper lip was an
inch toe long and left no room for
a chin so that was dispensed with.
Bis mouth was unusually wide and
cut square across and looked much
like a frog's and the skin on bia face
vas enlivened by a profusion of red
freckles. He always went, barefoot
ed except in winter and his feet
were so hard on the bottom and so
filled with grit he could use them as
a rasp when he made an axe or hoe
handle. He owned a controlling
interest in one boy and girl that 1
shall have to rafer to in this verit
able history farther on. Unless it
was quite cool his dress coasisted uf
only shirt and pants, carded, spun,
wore and made by his wife and the
shirt was buttoned at the throat by
a button made by his wife. She
took broom straw wound a thread
arouid it nntil it was large enough,
then slipped it off and went roHnd it
with needle and thread and bound
it together firmly and fastened it on.
From the throat to the pants was
open showing a streak of firy red
bair.
I have distinct recollection of my
first morning at the master's school.
He was never called or kaown by
any nam bat the master. Several
of as were having a good time and
one little fellow looked through
ftraek and said, "The If aster is com
ing, we all got onr books, held
them before onr faces and looked
over the tops of them. The Master
wlkw is with & gaaw qaill ruler
mi the JseviUUU ksretjjrosl, a tree
ioeptra. in them days fftiju pedagogve,
nd th Master believed with the
Though darkness, Egyptian and
ignorance spread,
Their cloud o'er the mind or en
veloped the head,
This rod well applied pats the dark
ness to flight,
Disperses the clouds and restores
us to light.
Like the Virgo Divina 'twil And out
the vain,
Where lnrks tbe lich metal, the
gold of the braiM.
Should Genius a eaptive by sloth
be confined,
Or the witchcraft of pleasure pre
vail o'er the mind
This magical wand but apply,
With a stroke the spell is disolvcd
tbe enchantment is broke.
The Master thoaght . it necessary
at the commencement of every school
to put on tierce looks, get behind his
students and drive them up the hill
of science by sharp commands and
for their further encouragement he
would at regular intervals give three
whacks with the ibirch, never more
nor less. lie always whipped by
the bench, whipped all that were on
the same bench. I recollect being
ou oue of those benches and getting
punished for no other reason thuu
being in bad company. He was not
as dangerous an animal as we .list
thought, though when he took his
seat the tirst morning I thought his
looks the most exquisitely infernal
of anything I had ever seen. He
was veiv excitable. When he
whipped be would tremble like an
aspen leaf and his little hog-eyes
would glow like balls of liquid lire.
In the moruing the Master's com
mand was takt up yonr books, at
noon put up your books and after re
cess he would go to the door, put
his hand to the side of his head and
sing out, come to yonr books. We
all spelled ont and no freg pond
could match tbe discordant sound..
The Master professed to teach
thoroughly spelling, reading, writ
ing and arithmetic to the rnlc of :i.
Our school books, Webster's spelling-
book, wood-back, the New Testa
ment to read from, anl Tike's arith
metic there was no oral arithmetic
for children. When Hannibal led
the tirst army across the Alps, he
was not more elated than I was
when the Master said I was far
enough advanced to take np cypher
ing, and that meant that we cosltl
take book, elate and pencil and go
out and sit on a log where we could
study without being disturbed.
When we got a snm worked we
would go in and hold our slate be
fore the Master. He would ask if
we hud the answer and we would say
yes, not one word ef explanation
asked or giveu. There was a good
hearted free negre in my class that
had cypheicd one session before. I
got him to help me forge the answer
of most of my sums. If we come
to one we could not manage we went
in and handed the slate to the Master
and he would soon work it and hand
the slate back to us.
It is conceded by physiologist and
mental philosophers that excessive
stu ly long continued enervates the
physical man, that their offsprings
an- sometimes silly. That was the
cao with Master's only son, Fletcher;
was silly. His father had him
enter school at an early age but lis
never got farther in Webster's spell
ing book than the pictures. The
saying of Soloman that the rod and
reproof giveth wisdom, didn't hold
good in Fletcher's case. One of his
peculiarities was the working of his
face. It wonld commence going
south, go as far as it could then
start north, then up then down, his
yes would commence to sqnint and
draw a bead on an imaginary fly,
change, ceasless change and ever the
same. He would sometimes speak
out in school. On one occasion
when everything was perfectly still
he said distinctly "Sister Sal is bow
legged." Now the happenings ef two more
school days and this faitbfnl history
is completed. We had one boy that
could mimic a dog completely and
it would do any man's soul good to
hear him. He knew the Master had
a mortal fear of mad dogs and this
boy being instigated by tbe devil,
slipped to the school house, got
under it and had a mad dog fit.
Such growling, snarling, snapping,
bnmping agyinst the floor and rais
ing up dust through the cracks of
the floor was frightful to witness.
The Master's first thoaght was to
take his birchrod and chastise the
dog then he thoaghtjof slamming the
door, then he thonght tbe dog might
jump through where the log was
cat oat, thca be thoaght of the pnl
pit. He acted upon that aad pack
ed the little ones in that then direct
ed the large ones to climb the wall.
The dog still having fis, each one
more severe than ever, then doleful
bowl and all was still aad after an
hour or so the Master said he reckon
ed the dog was dead. One of the
larger boys volunteered to go ont
and see and reported tbe coast clear.
Ce mm en cement or as ws called it
the last day, came off on Friday.

Every
Two Minute:
Physicians tell us that all
the blood in a healthy
human body passes through
the heart once in every two
minutes. If this action be
comes irregular the whole
I body suffers, l'oor health
follows poor blood ; Scott's
i'.mulsion makes the blood
. pure. One reason why
I
i c
I
EMULSION
is such a great-aid is because
it p.isses so quickly into
the blood. It w partly di
gested before k enters the
stomach ; a double advan
tage in tii If . Less work
for the stomach; quicker
and more direct benefits.
To get the greatest amount
of good with the least pos
sible effort is the desire of
everyone in poor health.
Scott's Emulsion does just
that. A change for the
better takes place even be
fore you expect it.
We will send you a

Women and Dresses.
"You women make a mistake in
devoting so much attention to dress
to attract t'-i men," said a male per
son who poses as a philosopher, the
ther day. "Men don't cure much
for that sort of thing in women. All
they want is for a woman to be neat
and tastefully attired. They are
apt to be prejudiced against an over
dressed woman."
The woman who was given this
valuable pointer replied: "That
itjK-ecU is simply another instance of
masculine vanityj Women don't
dress to please the men. Thej
pleuse men with a great deal less
trouble than that. Women dress to

'It it not. alone that t!ie library is
valuable for the in formal ion which
the books contain which makes this
movement an important one. Of
equal importance is the fact that the
people of an enterprising city have
determined to accumulate books and
, otherwise provide the means for the
wnth of the city to become well
read in the period in wbirh knowl
edge is most easily acquired ami be
comes most permanent in the human
n 1 i ml. We all know that Church
work is advantagiiius, not only in
the results of the work itself, but is
beneficial to the workers.
"il does us all good to feel that
we art: doing some good in the world
or at least are trying t do some got it 1
in tins woild.' It is so, too. with
such work as this connected with the
establishment and development of a
public library.
"It is not only advantageiis for
those who may get the books ttud
have the opportunity to read them,
but it is advantageous to any people
to have always more or less altruistic
work in band and to be doing some
thing in which the motive of self
interest is left out. Aside from the
altruistic character of the work that
you are doing in the establishment of
u libraiy, the material utlvantagt
are probably belter than w hat could
be obtained from any new business,
winch you could establish for the
purpose of making money. There
is a general good which will he ad
vantageous to all material interests.
The influence of a library is always
to extend knowledge, which in turn
softens asperities, removes piejndkee.
ami extends human happir.ees."

A writer in Januarv Pearson's
Maga.ine says:
A physician who has made pneu
-noma a special study estimated that
in the tirst six months of last year
1 1904) abont eight per cent, of all
deaths in the United States were due
to pneumonia. That was alarming
enough, but the figure is small when
compared with the statistics of any
one big city. The percentage in
Ne. York has not been lower than
11.88 in ten years. In the tirst half
of last vear it leached IS.".
lietween lh74 and 1S04, the an

thousand inhabitants in New York
City increased from i ' ', to 2.61,
while the advance in the average
decennial rate per thousand was
from 2.20 to 2.98. In the same
period the yearly tuberculosis death
rate decreased from 3.61 to 2.57 per
thousand, and the average decennial
rate from 4.02 to 2,78 per thousand.
For the year just passed, 1904, the
complete figures have not been com
piled, but up to the end of June,
18.7 out of every one hundred deaths
in the city had bean caused by pneu
monia, while only 12.1 per cent, bad

Tbe greatest number of deaths
from pneumonia ever recorded in a

during the week ending January 9,
1904. Two hundred and thirty-
nine f these were caused by lobar
