Did you ever pause and contemplate that
particular md peculiar phase of human
nature developed by the existent school
boy when released from study and disci-
| pline-when "school is OUT and he is on
his way home.
Ordinary humanity, when released from
the tolls o. the day, is prone to seek rest
and relaxation. The boy scorns all such
effeminate ideas. He is composed of but
three parts-legs, arms and yell, and the
yell is the biggest part of him. His legs
pulsory auietude all day, and must now be
exercised. His voice has been seething and
swelling in him for hours, and now must
have vent.
As soon as he is clear OF the school-house
steps he. stops and deliberately yells q yell
that is ear-spiitting, but which has no more
object, meaning or direction han the mid
night vociferation of a mule, and yet it ap-
pears at q full run with his arms flying
about like the scintiiiations Of a pin-wheel.
He is nc respecter of persons. and is utterly
Indifferent as to whether he runs own .
smaller boy, spins an aged citizen three
tines around or mashes a girls hat over her
eyes in his headlong career.
Nervous ladies hug the sides OF the
houses as he rushes by in n drove like q
whirlwind and screams like a steam whistle.
MERCY on us, If that boy was only
mine I'd" but just then her own boy flies
past, falls over a dry.goods box, bounces
up. kicks at another boy, and is chased
across the street and around the corner
before she can get the You Robert!"
with which she intends to annihilate him,
out of her astonished throat.
There is but one thing that has the slight
est soothing effect on the boy when he is
on the way nome from school. He can see
his old man further than Prof Hall can see
a ~haystack with q telescope, and the mo
ment that parent dawns upon his vision he
becomes as proper as a model letter-writer,
and the neatly modulated voice with which
he wheedles the author Of his being out Of
five cents ON the spot, is a lesson for future
ambitious savings bank presidents.
The amount of racing, jumping, pulling,
and hauling and bowling That q school-boy
can concentrate into a transit OF two
squares is positively astonishing, and the
preternatural GOODNESS and quietude with
which he takes his red face and painting
breath into the kitchen and asks If supper
amt most ready, is a una conundrum
that calls for unqualified admiration

The reasons given by some Of the appli-
cants for admission to the bar are quaint
and curious. One of them states in his
petition to the court that ne had procured
several law books and spent much time
during the last year in studying them.
Another aspirant for admission to the bar
bases his claims upon the opportunities of
his friends, who had besought him to take
charge of their cases. And Able Van Bur
kaloo, who was ex-sheriff at the time,
bases his claim upon his inability to secure
the services of a competent attorney to at
tend to the business he had before the
court and thought if he was admitted he
might transact his own business and in
time be employed by Others The court
admitted him with the understanding that
he would qualify himself. How thankful
we should be that the practice of the court
