An examination of these tables will show that
three of the Chester class went out before any
OF the Bucks, and that when Mrs. Woodward re.
tired, half of her side were down while but two
had gone out, on the other side Miss IIOl-
combs departure left only half of the whole
original number, there being then BUCKS. 6 /;
Chester, 4. Finally the failure of Mr.. Stubbs
left Mrs. Lellalstre alone against five Bucks
countians and at this juncture a gentleman in
the audience urged that this was not fair, that
each speller should have an equal number Of
words. Mr. Mans, however, stated very
oandidly that this WAS a contest
between the countless and not between ip-
diyiduals each slde must spell an
equal number of words. This rule had been full

ryng off the head OF the class, Superintendent
Eastburn; the second one on the list, going over

contest, and a third given out, in order that
each side should spell an equal number, Chester
having had the first word) carried of Miss
Longshore. This ended the match, Miss Cole

Bucks side.
The match was very well conducted, and while
there was some disposition to alternately hiss
and applaud this WAS vigorously represred by
the presiding officer. 1t was n severe contest.

that before the spelling began the Bucks county

CLOSING DAYS.

THE plashing breakers on the beach seem to
the listening ear
To wall soft, sweet, plaintive dirge for the
departing year;
The yellow leaves, whirl'd o'er the path by
the sharp autumn breeze,
In ed2ying clouds are falling fast from all the
rustling trees.
The frost beads sparkle on the grass, bright
in the chilly dawn;
The mateless thrush his lonely meal seeks on
the rectory lawn;
The laurustinus gins to show her white and
roseate flowers
Sure token that have fed at last the sum
mer's golden hours.
Blackberries on the privet hang, the ash
shows clusters red,
Crowned with a scarlet diadem King Oaks
majestic head;
The elms are orange, the queen beech is robed
in russell brown,
And from the grateful pendant birch dun
leaves come showering down.
Close in the furze the linnet lies, the lark's
shrill voice is mute,
No longer from the cherry bough the black
bird tunes his flute;
The white-throat and the nightingale to sun
nier climes have flown,
And on the berried holly bough the redbreast
sings alone.
All, sweet and solemn are the days that mark
the dying year,
Waking like music in the heart some slum-
bering memories dear
OF times gone by, of friends long dead of
happy, feeting hours,
When our fond youth was one long dream of
love and joy and flowers.

Giving Up the Dolls.

MAY was getting so tall that it looked
perfectly silly'' for her to be playing
with dolls. So, at least, Jess, Mays sis
ter, said-and Jess was fifteen years old
and ought to have known what was prop
er and what wasn't.
May was such little mother and loved
her dolls so much that don't believe Jess
alone could ever have made her give them
up; but even mamma began to hint
strongly about patchwork quilts and
usefulness" and when at last she came
out with brilliant offer of set of gray
squirrel furs for next winter, if May would
give up the DOH babies and "be awoman, "
May couldn't stand out against so much
and she went up stairs that night with her
mind made up.
She took all the dolls she could find
handily into bed with her, and believe
she cried little as she hugged them up
close and thought it was the last time.

A Potato story Which Begins With a
Bean.POle.

Mr.. RoCKAwAr, being asked to tell one
will content you | will tell you potato
story which begins with a bean pole:
"Once there was bean pole which was
stuck into the ground by the side OF
potato-hill.
dear me- cried a young cabbage,
growing near, what stiff, poky thing
that is! And of no earthly use standing
there doing nothing"
But very soon a scarlet bean, running
about in search of something to climb
upon, found this same bean pole.
"'All right" cried the happy little
bean. You are the very thing | want.
Now I'll begin my summers work
"'Well, to be sure cried young Cab
bage. Everything comes to some use at
last. But who would have thought it?'
"The Scarlet Bean was a spry little
thing. She ran up that pole just as easy!
Being of a lively turn she began at last to
make fun of the Potato plant
"'How sober you aren said she. Why
don't you try to brighten up and look
more blooming?'
THE poor Potato plant, though doing
her best, could only show few pale
| blooms.
"'You don't mean to call those things
howers? cried the frisky Bean. Just
look at my beautiful blossomsn and she
held up a spray of bright Scarlet
"The Potato plant kept quiet.
"'What stupid, useless things said
young Cabbage, those Potato plants arel
and how much room they take upn
Summer passed. The Bean began to
fill her pods and proud enough she was Of
them.
"' Why don't you do something?' she
cried to the Potato plant, down below.
'Only see what I've done! There's a
summers work for your And, sure
enough, she had hung her full pods all up
and down the pole.
1.-The Potato plant still kept quiet. But
when digging time came, and the hill was
opened, and the pile of Long Reds ap-
peared, her neighbors could hardly be-
lieve their senses.
dear me! what surprised cried the
Bean. 50 we can't always tell by ap-
pearances"
"'I declared cried Cabbage. Then
you were doing something all that time!
But how could l know? There's that
Bean-she hung her pods up high, so that
everybody could see. Well, well, well!-
after this, I'll always say of plant which
makes but little show, Wait, Potatoes
inside there, may be-"
"There are great many Scarlet Beans
among the people l know" said Mr..
Rockaway, andsome Potato plants, too. "
And perhaps few young Cabbage
heads" said Uncle Peter, looking slyly
around at the children.-Abby Norton
Diaz, in ST. Nicholas.
