A CARD.
From the scnool Trustees 10 the Patrons
OF the Public School.

As there seems to be some opposition
to the special school tax proposed by
the School TruStces-the principal oppo-
sition coming from parties from whom it
was not expected, and whose motives for
mis-s'ating facts are hardly worth m"n-
tioniDG-the Trustees would state that
they ordered the tax only after mature
consideration, when they thought it was
necessary, and when they found that the
funds on hand. and yet To be received.
were not sufficient to pay for necessary
rcTgirs. fuel, %jhnitor, school supplies.
etc, present teachers salaries and the
employment OF an additional teacher for
six months this year.
The Trustees further considered tia.
the schOol-housc and grounds cost the
taxpayers Of this district "A handsome
sum OF money, and it being in their
trust, they think j; their duty to keep the
property in ~ good a condition and re-
pair as they would their own.
EOr the information Of such rs prefer
bothcring nm editor for information which
he docS not possess, and which the
School Superintendent or any one OF the
Trustees are always willing to give freely.
The Trustees would publish the following
statement Of estimated expenses for this
year:

The above figures show thnt il the tax
was voted, there would be a surplus at
the end Of the present year OF about
$500, but ut the end Of last zeal there
was a surplus OF over $500, still that,
with the regular income Of about 50, 600
this year., will hardly reach present ex.
pcnses; not including the salary of nm
additional teacher.
To conclude, the Trustees would again
state that the tax was ordered because
they thought II was necessary; that M
far ns they arc personally concerned. il
IL Of no consequence 10 themwhc Their
tho tax Is voted or not. The amount for
necessary repairs, fuel, etc., will be set

 HINTS TO A YOUNG EDITOR.
EY ALEX E. SWEET,

There are an astonishing number oi
 people who imag zine that the editor is al-
 ways suffering for something to hll up
 with. Oae of these would-be patrons of
 the press will stroll into sanctum, win
 something under his arm, about the size
 and shape of bottle wrapped up in an
 old newspaper, and, with the air of a
 philanthropist bes,o~ing aims on a neH-
 dicAnt will drawl ooi: "I thought you
 needed something to i'll up on, so have just brought you something good to put
 on your inside If the editor is a green
 hand, and has just started in the busi- ness, he interprets the remark of the
 would-be patron to mean that the package under the inauder's arm is some hing good to eat or drink, and IS intended for the inside of the editor. Under this pleasing delusion, the green editors face lights up with a happy smile, and he reaches ont tor tn. nourishment, remarking: am very much in need of something to i'll up with, and there is plenty of room On my inside for anything good you have got" The visitor not catching on, replies: "l am glad te hear you say so. Please print this manuscript sermon of the Rev. John Wesley Baxter, my deceased m -le, who was recently eaten alive in one of the South Sea islands The sermon will i'll up four or i've columns of the inside oi your valuable paper nicely.

 Now is the time for the editor to act If he hesit2ses he is lost. If the would. be patron is a small man, perhaps the best reply is to knock him down with his un- cle's sermon, and cavort about On his prossrate body, aher which annoint the scoundrel by pouring the contents of the ink bottle and the paste pot over his mis- erable head, and telephone for a police man to drag him out.
