head around tn see how the operation went ON;
then she would swing hnck mp to the curbing
The dOctor'has been wondering for two or three
years what he could do with her in the evening Ut
her days. so he talked il over with the old mare,
and they concluded she had done night work
enough, and deserved the care Of some Christian
that believes in home influence. SO he has found
just the place for her in "A neat little village farm
where she will not have much To do but to boss
the hired girl, eat up the kuick -knacks Of the
pantry, and 20 To church regularly 90 TO this no

FIGHTING THE SCHOOL WAL

FIGHTING THE SCHOOL WAR.
 The Coming Election to Turn Largely
 Upon the High School Issue-Dr.
 Carmalt and MT. Leigh.
 School politics have come to the top over all other local politics just at present, and most vigorous fight has been begun be- tween the friends of Walter Leigh and of Dr. Carmalt. Before Mondays election it seems probable that there will be more in- terest manifest in the affair than has been shown in any school election for many years. These two men have publicly placed themselves in direct antagonism with each
 other. Walter Leigh represents the Whit
 more side of the struggle and Dr. Carmalt is recognized as the head of the movement against the principal of the high school. The doctors term expires this year, and are exerting every effort to defeat his re- election. Since ex-Senator Plunkett put
 himself squarely upon MT. Leigh's side by voting to ask him to withdraw his resigna- tion, which he did, g change seems to have come over the situation. It has been thought that the ex-senator was not very friendly to MT. Leigh, as far as their ideas on school matters were concerned. Those familiar with the politics of both sides state that Messrs. Plunkett and James P.
 Bree will lead the ticket which will be sup
 ported by the followers of Walter Leigh, l and that Dr. Carmalt and Morris. F. Tyler will head the opposition ticket. It is also said that one reason why MT. Leigh withdrew his resigna- tion from the board was desire to defeat MT. Tyler and to make things unuleasant
 for Dr. Carrnalt and Principal Whitmore's enemies in the board. If Dr. CarmaIt's side should win in the election it is recop- nized by everyone that Principal Whit
 more's term as principal of the high school
 may be of dubious duration Dr. Carmalt.
 in relation to the withdrawal of MT. .Leigh's
 resignation, says that MT. Leigh had threat
 ened before to put forth a ticket in oppo- sition to Messrs. Graves, Plunkett and Carmalt unless he was asked to withdraw his resignation. The doctor thinks this may have influenced the action of the ex- senator in jumping over to MT. .Leigh's side of the struggle
