on the west side of the house were "Uncle

ward of the family. Between the two
rooms was a narrow hallway which opened
into the yard we'll supplied with shubbery,
trees, etc.
BY the Lighted lamp at the table in front
OF the window sat these unsuspecting old
people. Anticipation of harm was remote
from their thoughts. The curtain had not
been pulled down Tor the night. Without
being forewarned the hall front door was
rudely opened and head thrust into the

OF the Wells family is excellent. They are

will confer great favor by reporting the

schools or to the chief principal When
ever pupils change their place of residence
in the city the fact should be reported at
once to the teachers in order that mistakes
may not be made in the assignment of
pupils to the proper schools.

books will confer favor by applying To
the chief principal of the schools. who will
see that all children are supplied and that
no one may be deprived of the benefits of
our public schools on account of the in
