A PONY EUNAWAY.
Relieved of the Bnggry lie Leaves tne
mender a Job and Is Satisfied.
Abont 11 o'clock Supt. Thomas
Kirkman, with his pony and pony
buggy stopped in front ef Mr. W J
HiH'a store and was having some of
the pony's harness repaired. The
horse was only partially detached
from the buggy He made eome
movement by which, the awk wards
uees of the situation got the better
of his nerve and he Bought other
parts with the buggy following m
eo very ceremonious way, much to
his increasing annoyance
He secured the services of the
elm tree in front of Mr, G W
Brown's leather stand to relieve him
of the appendage.
The merry career of the buggy
very suddenly checked right
ere, and that right front wheel
eugRe8ted s ca3e of jawache.
The horse seemed altogether
pleased with the situation and. as he
turned into Church street was quiet
as if going to a picnic.
Soon the buggy mender took
charge and was as gay as the old
time coffin maker on seeing a man
trotting up with a six foot cane with'
a notch cut in it about eighteen
inches from the end.

One of these that was thoroughly
diecusted wa? the
Kecitation.
The recitation is the teacher's
greatest opportunity for effecting the
real work of the school . Here it is
that the teacher's whole power
should be concentrated.
He should not only be master of
the subject to be taught but he
should also be master of the art of
teaching-and distinguish well be-

tween teaching, testing, drilling, ir-
atruoting and reciting. Although
all of these are included under the .

great difference between any two of
them .
The good recitation is stimulate
iag, suggestive, interesting, animated
and varied. It is not too long, has
a definite object in fiew, is for the
pupil, begins and closes promptly, I
and aims to aiistsr subjects auu n t
pages.
The good teacher will assign les-
sons carefully, will show pupils how
to study, will insist upon correct and
concise expression, will question
skillfully, will require pupils to

(Jlosely related to
the recitation
and hardly second in importance is
the subject of
School Incentives.
The word incentive means to arouse
to effort ; to cause to study.
The good teacher is not only skill
ful in the use of devices and meth
ods of awakening interest, but be
also employs the best incentives for
getting work out of his pupils.
v He strives to preate among his
pupils a desire to be useful, a desire
for advancement, a desire for compe
tence, a desire to do right because it
is right As soon as possible he aps
peals to conscience and to the sense
of duty. He shows the pleasure of
acquiring knowledge, the apprecia
tion of 8eif; of parent and of teacher.
From history, biography and the
world around, he cites worthy ex-
amples and tries to create in hie
classes a desire and a longing to do
something and be something in the
world The best incentives to study
are those thatreach all the pupils of
the school instead of a few. They
are permanent in their effect. They
appeal to the higher and better na
ture of the child, and hence tend to
create worthy citizens and noble
characters.
The worst incentives are these
that appeal to fear and that tend to
develop indifference, selfishness ego
tism, greied, deceit, cheating, and a
disregard for truth and for the
rights of others. v
While many things may he said
in favor of prizes as incentive?, still
they are not the best incentives.
Prizes are apt to slimalate only a
few. to' engender a spirit xf , rivalry

Here is a case in .point : A Pop
ulist of some influence in his com
nvunity was given a postoffico by
the Republicans in order to win his
support. The income from the
office, though email, helped him in
supporting his family. He had
made up his mind to vote the fu
sion ticket this year. "
, A friend who knew how the posl
master felt, asked the latter'd son
how he was going to vote. The
young man, who had just comof
age, replied that he had not made
up his mind, but the chances were
he would vote with his father.
" What does your mother say ?"
asked the neighbor.
"Mother wants us to vote for the
Democrats on the white man e
ticket," said the youth.
uHave you thought jthat if you
vote the fusion ticket you vote for
the negroes and against your own
mother T'
"No, I had not looked at it that
way, but that is right, and l am go-
ing to vote mother's ticket."

neighbor "to get vour mother to nut
