the information derived from a hotel

Times of Monday published the same
misstatement. On the next day it
vaulted with proud ambition over its
previous effort, and under the seduct-
i've head Of "Teachers to be Taught"
actually asserted that DsGraff had be-
gun his work. All this time DeGraff
was known to be hundreds of miles
away.
What was the object of all this news
paper screed' 1t was a bold attempt
of somebody to prevent the teachers
who came only for DeGraff's sake from
stampeding to others. I believe these
false statements took at least IS pupils
from my school. Such action is a
criminal offense defined by law. 1t
behooves the School Board to trace
this rascality home. Perhaps such an
effort may be more successful than the
one made in Homecoming to discover

DeGraff is the great adhesive plaster
which is to be applied to the vast ped
agogical intellect of Allegany county
to draw it to Cumberland.
When the play opened on Monday,
with more or less imposing accessories,
the title-role man failed to materialize.
A count of noses revealed fully 100.
There were Parthians and Modes and
Elamites, and the jewellers in Mesopo-
tamia, and in Judea, and Cappadocia,
in Pontus and Asia, Phrygia, in Egypt
and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene,
and strangers of Rome, Jews and pros
elytes, Cretes and Arabians. In each
little pocket was a five dollar bill.
shall now give the feat of legerde-
main by which it was proposed to ex-
tract from tenacious bucolic fingers
these quivering bright bills, in spite of
DeGraff's non-estness.
On Monday the usually reliable
~aily Neps announced that DeGraft
