A SENTISEL reporter called OH School
commissioner Bright last Saturday and
asked him what the news was in ed,ca-
tional circles. He said that the only thing
he could think OF was that the prospects OF
having any schools next year was very sor-
ry. He explained by saying that taxes
were collected so slow that there was no
money to pay the teachers with aud many
OF them who needed the money had to sell
their pay certificates at a discount. He
said that he WAS IN favor Of stopping the
schools for one year 70 ns 10 let the treas
ury oil up sufficiently 90 pay cash. That is
when teacher finished a school, give him
or her certificate and let them 90 to the
treasurer and get their money. lie thought
the teachers would be in favor Of il too.

MIRY'S LAMB IN COLORADO.

MOllie had little ram as black as o
rubber shoe and everywhere that
Mollie went he emigrated too.
He went with her to church one day
the folks hilarious grew, to see him
walk demurely into Daacon Allens's
pew.
The worthy deacon quickly let his angry
passion rise, and gave 1t au unchrs-
tian kick between the sad brown
eyes.
Thi, landed rammy in the isle. the dea-
con followed fast, aud lqised his foot
agaiu; alas, that first was his last,
Mr.. Sheep walked slowly back, about II
rod It's said, and ere the deacon could
retreat, he stood him on his head,
The congregation then arose and went
FOR that 'cre sheep several well di
rected butts placed them in a heap.
Then rushed they straightway for the
door, with curses long and loud
while rammy struck the hindmOst
man and knocked him through the
crowd.
The minister had often heard tha. kind.
ness would subdue tho ficrcest beast
"Aha,' he said, "Tll try that game
on you"
And so ho kindly, gently called, "Come
rammy, rammy, ram to see the folks
abuse you so greved and sorry am. u
The ram quite dropped its humble air and
rose from off It's feet, and when the
parson lit he was hind the hindmost
scat.
And as he shot out the door and closed it
with slam, he named Colorado
town, think twas Yu-ba-dam.
