"Wo can't stand that sort of a teacher," i Eaid Jack Darwin ono day last April. ! Ho makes me sick always preaching, preaching, pro" "Let's settle him!" shouted three or four from tho outside of tho group. "Aye, aye!" came tho answers, and Taffy Douglass, the fat boy, with his siow movements, had just opened his ! mouth for an "Aye!" when ho caught j sight of tho new tutor looking at the dots with, a frown on his face, and so : he transferred tho intended nart, speech into another loud yawn which inado tho new tutor jump, whereupon ' all tho boys giggled. "Who is to bo 'settled,' Thorn?" tho i tutor asked of the tall boy who stood j nearest him. Thorn colored up to the ! roots of his hair ho had a very fair j complexion and blushed easily, which ' led to his being called "Itosie" by the j others and stammered: j 'I forg I don't didn't hear, Mr. j Vv hyland. "Perhaps you didn't hear tho bell ring for you to go back to your class either. What is it, Blake?" demanded the young man, turning to Teddy1. "What. Mr. Whvland?" asked Teddy innocently. "Who wero you going to 'settle' as I camo in?" "Oh, that's only a littlo way we have of speaking about thoso Latin transla tions, sir." Tho tutor looked as though ho did not believe Teddy's explanation, but he said nothing more about it. Mr. Whvland was tho new assistatit at the academy. He had been there only a week, but in that time had managed with his extra rules and hard punish ments to make all tho boys his enemies. He did not seem to get along with them somehow. Pe rhaps boarding schoi 1 boys are hard to get along with. Dr. Arnold, president of the school, had engaged ui - n ..., l,,-. .'""'-k iu Jin ).wa ni.-i staff of instructors uot because ho knew In,,, iwrsn-inllv lint h,cn lm taken high honors at graduation, and, too, his mother was an old friend of the director's. "He is a very nice fellow mother, but where they expected to be with the men," the doctor had told his : blamed they were furgivtn. After tedi wife, "but he forgets he ever was a boy. ; ous waiting Mr. Wliyhenl began to re I'll have a little talk with him. He i cover. He would not let I r. Arnold ex punishes too often, and tho boys can't ; pel tho boys; said he himself was at get his lag worded explanations through fault to make enemies and not friends their heads." But Dr. Arnold post- '. of the boys. The Voys were untiring in poned his lirtle talk too long, for the their efforts to run i-rrands and do ev boys "settled" their tutor first. That afternoon the third form boys did not make as much noise as usual, ! and that dear old lady, Mother Arnold, as she was affectionately called, scented i mischief as she looked from her window j out on the playground. The boys were grouped together, talking and gesticu- i bating violently, and Mother Arnold thought she ought to tell the doctor about it, Int he was out, aad by the time he came in everything Tvas quiet ; again. What transpired on the "cam- pus" I'll tell yon just as it was said. "Let's boycott him," suggested Ted dy, who hadn't a very well defined idea of what boycotting was. j "th, shut up!" growled Ned Turner, a thickset fellow with less than his share of brains. "The only way to fix him is to light. Take him when he isn't prepared, and two or three of us lig fellows will lay him out." "That's cowardly, " said Frank Snow. "Nobody but Turner would think of doing such" "Take that back!" shouted Ned, "or I'll show you who's a cow" Lut Frank didn't, because just then Harrv Hoot, the class beautv, shouted "Hurrah!"' at the top of his voice, and everv one rushed over to where lie and Taffy were seated on the f-nce to see what was the matter. These two had been separated from the other boys for quite awhile, and as Taffy announced: '"The Beauty has struck it, fellows! We'll force old Why to resign, and I'm going to do the biggest part of it!" "What:" "How?" "Whin'-" wore the questions then asked. "Be quiet, and I'll tell yon, "said Harry. "We'll make life disagreeable fur him and make him give up teaching us. Don't any of you boys study your lessons tonight, and Tt morrow make all the noise you can in class, and at even ing session Taffy will do something to astonish you. " "What?" cried Ted. "Wait and see," drawled Taffy, "only have your rubber erasers and lots of paper balls on hand to use. " That night was very long to the ex pectant boys, bat they were so qui: t during evening ses-iou that the tutor thought he had commenced to have some control over his charg. s. Bat the morning dispelled the illusions 1"? had on this score. Not one in the third form knew his le. sons, and, what was worse, thev all o.ued they hadn't studied a bit." After supper that day, when the gong sounded for all pupils to retire to their respective c'assreioms, there was a half suppressed excitement among the third form boys. For all Mr. Whyland's com mands no one thought of studying. At last the tutor lost patience. "I shall have to refer this matter to the doctor," he began. "Do," said Frank, whose desk was on the opposite side of the room from Taffy. Now was Taffy's chance. Ho cau tiously mounted his desk, his cheeks bulged out with wind, looking like a full moon. The boys commenced to cheer, and Mr. Whylaad turned in time to seo Taffy standing on tiptoe on tho desk, with his mouth directly over a gas burner. That was all ho saw, how ever, for just then Taffy's mouth opened, and a gust of wind from it swept down tho gas burner. Immediately all was darkness, not only in that room, but in tho whole building. Then what an uproar there was! Rub bers and books commenced to fly in tho direction of the tutor. Then some ono fired an inkstand toward the blackboard. Tt iti.l rot reach its destination. Just then the door opened, and Dr. and Mrs. Arnold, with several of tho teachers and older boys, appeared with lights and matches to stop the gas that was escap- ing from every flame-less burner. "Silence!" roared the old man, and every one fell into the scat nearest to him." "What does this mean, Mr. Why land?" ' But Mr. Whvland didn't answer. Ih was lying on the floor. The d.x-tor hurried to him, but found j him insensible. There was a deep i wound in his head, from which the ble-r.d flowed freely. You could have heard a pin drop any time during the nest 15 minutes, tho silmce was so deep after Mr. Whvlanel had been carried to his room. Finally ilrs. Arnold returned. She looked wor ried, and tho sight of her face made the culprits feel very uncomfortable. "Boys, " the said, "what docs it all mean Do you know what you have done? Tho doctor thinks Mr. Whvland will net recover from the blow given him by that inkstand. I do not ask who threw it, but do you realize what has been done?" "Mother Arnold, " said Harry, break ing the silence, "it's lny fault. I sug- gested putting the gas out. I'll take the blame." "But I did it," said Taffy, two great tears rolling down his cheeks, "audi "I threw three rubbers and a book, " owned Jack. "And I sorao beans," said another. "Will ho die, Mother Arnold?" "It is a serious injury," said Mrs. Arnold, "but we will hope for the best, For present punishment you will bo closely confined to the house for a wee k, and tho doctor will seo you later." "We don't mind that, " said Harry, choking over his words, "if only he doesn't die There was very littlo slecpin sW-niiirr lnii sleeping none r.s-noei-inv i,v , especially lpv , v nne or tu-n ty one or rw o i nmro fnr 1 e.t eparo ior bci. that night at tho academy, tho third form boys.

"I want to tell yon, buys," said she, "how Richard, my only son, was brought up. His father was a naval officer and was away part f every year I t, fore he died, and so left me to manage the boy. Richard never went to school, as you boys do, but I taught him at home with his five sisters. He associated on! v with women until he went to colli go, so you can easily see why lie didn't know how to manage or teach boys. He says that when he recovers lie is going to know you better and is sure that he will like yon and be able to make you undi r stand.

Jle was greeted with shouts of api lause, and th" third form boys had humbly begged his for giveness. He made a little speech, say ing that he trusted lie should manage them better in the future, and he helped they would always be the best of friends. "And, boys," lie addt d, with twin kling eyes, "I have learned s .niething new about gas, and since I Lave recov ered I am glad that yon did 'settle' me.

One summer's day a hunter who had become separated from his companions sat down on a rock in the heart af the mountain range to rest.

"There are many kinds of mines and numerous inventions for saving pre cious metals," said Professor L. K Waring e f Omaha, "but the strangest ono I ever heard of is at Butte, Mon. When mines were first discovered in that locality, it was found that the wa ter contained in the fissures was so strongly impregnated with copper iu so lution that tools of all kinds were quick ly destroyed by the affinity of the copper for the iron. For a long time the water pumped out of the mine we nt to waste, as no method was known of extracting the copper from it. After awhile a dis covery was made that is being used to good advantage. iSome tin cans found their way into the small stream. In a short time it was noticed that they had every appearance of being made of pure copper, so thickly were they covered with that metal. In noting this fact, one man resolved to try an experiment. He immediately purchased the exclusive right to the water. Then he put in a ! Tic3 of reservoirs and tanks along the j "Sngar- in rar'.iauwnt.
