Rena's Dream.

"Now 60 on" said Tom when the din
ner was dispatched.
"Well the rat came close to me and he
looked SO funny with his shiny black eyes.
Then he begun his questions after telling
me not to interrupt him till he got
through as he couldn't bear to be inter-
rupted; then he called upon the king to
J witness that was to eat him if answer
! ed correctly and he was to eat me if I
didn't know"
"Ready: Why do we prefer a king to
rule over us; How many gills Of fish does
it take to make gallon of chowder;
What relation was Periwinkle to Rip Van
Wrinkle; What kind of an angle is an
angle worm; What kind of scales are
best to weigh fish on; What kind of fruit
does the crab prefer; What kind of fish
do birds like best?"
'The perch" I said laughing at the
idea.
81 was not through" said the musk-rat
sternly, but you may begin at the first
now. Think fast.
Ready: "Why do we prefer a king to
rule over us?"
Because because-he-he q was try
ing to make my words stretch out to get
mole time) he reigns- "yes that's it, he
reigns, and rain makes rivers"
"How absurd" I cried.
''Go on now with the..chowder problem"
said the musk-rat.
"Well, let me see-4 gills make one
pint pints make one quart 4 quarts
make one gallon, times are 8; 4 times
8 are 80: 1t would take 80 gills"
"Wrongp screamed big fish dancing
around on his tail and Tapping his fins,
'they never use our gills in chowder at
all Eat her up Mr.. Musk-rat, eat
her up"
just then there arose great commo-
ton as if they were all talking at once
and began to cry. The musk-rat gave
"a jump at me, but the king called, '.hold
/ on, one thing at time: there is a dis
; pute here for US to settle" then to me.
'.you mustn't cry, salt water makes us
sick"
I tried to obey him, and looked around
to see what seemed to be the trouble.
There was to be party the king told
me, there were a whole family of pol
lywogs to make their debut as frogs and
everybody was invited and everybody
was trying to borrow something to wear.
They were to have splendid supper, a
dance and music and grand time gener-
orally.
And the trouble just now was between
ayoung rat and a water snake. The rat
thought he would present better ap-
pearance with longer tail; he wanted to
borrow the water snakes. But as the
snake was almost the same size from his
nose to the tip of his tail, they had to call
meeting to decide where the tail left of
and the snake begun; some was in favor
OF outing the snake in two in the middle,
Others of taking the whole snake.
aWho ever heard of tail with eyes"
gurgled little fish and it jumped clear
out Of the water it was so tickled.
laughed and the king looked at me
and said. you have more teeth than I
have, I'll borrow yours to eat the supper
with. They are to gather some fresh
rnashmellows from the marsh"
aAnd I'll take her hair for some new

EDUCATION In THE WEST.

The interest of the people Of the West
in education is indicated in no better way
than by the test of the dollar. The fnan-
cial measurement of interest may be APP
piled with the greatest accuracy and sig
nifcance to the salaries paid for tnstruc-
ton, and also to the cost OF the education
of each pupil. The average salary a
month paid each man teaching in the
public schools of the United States is
S42. As. The lowest below this average is
the salary paid in those States known as
the South Atlantic States. beginning with
Delaware and ending with Florida, which
is $2S. II. The next lowest is represented
In the States of the South Central divis-
ion, Kentucky. Tennessee. Alabama,
Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas and Arkan-
sas, which is S40.59. Above the average
OF S42. 43 is found the salary paid in the
salary paid IN the North Atlantic States,
<S48 20. The furthest above it is the salary
paid in the extreme Western States,
which is $e4.S1 The highest average sal
airy paid a month in any State to a man
teaching in the public school Is to be
credited to Massachusetts,, sos. So; but
the next highest salary paid is that found
In Colorado, 1921. Astudy of the figures
OF salaries paid to women who are teach
ers in the public schools exhibits q sim.-
lar result. The average salary each
month paid In the United States is $S4.2z
The States of the South Atlantic fall be-
low this standard with an average Of
$2Z.0 on; OF the South Central Division with
an average of $33.45; of the North Allan
tic Division with an average of 1872. 46; and
also of the North Central Division with an
average of S3407. But the States of the
extreme West rise about this standard,
showing S56.62. lt is thus made evident
that women teaching in the schools of all
the Western States, beginning with Ohio,
receive an income considerably larger
than that which their sisters receive who
teach in the States of New England, in
New York and Pennsylvania. Colorado
pays it's teachers more than Massa-
chusetts; Ohio gives its teachers twice as
much as Maines and the teachers of
Illinois receive more than twice what the
teachers of Vermont Observation-Disclosures 2.

RUMORED JUDICIAL CHANGES.

There was a rumor about town today to
the effect that Judge Puster was TO resign
from the District Court Judges hip and
be made Corporation Attorney in place
of Robert H%udspeth, who is to be ap-
pointed, according to the rumor, TO sue
coed Judge Lippincott as Judge of the
Court of Common Pleas. Judge Puster's
place is to be filed by Norman Rowe.
l asked Judge Puster If there was any
foundation for the rumor. and he said
that he had heard it himself, but he
had not made up his mind whether
he would resign or not. His
private business was increasing to such
an extent that he would soon be unable
to give both that and the duties Of the
Judgeship the attention they require.

the League games en- Saturday night. The
crack Twenty-third street team also
bowled at home but its total for the two
games was ]. $50. the second best made.
and it was 164 less than that of the jersey
boys. The third best average was made
by the HRrlems, 1873. They bowled
away from home q were at a slight dis
advantage. They were the of
the Twenty-third street boWlers and won
game. The Bedfords bowled at home,
and had a total of 1873, O
were % behind the Jersey City team. The
Washington Heights team made a poor
showing. They bowled against Bedford,
and had a total Of only 1857, the poorest
that has been made this season. The
Centrals. who bowled here, had a be tter
total than the Washington Heights. Il
is the initial season in the League for this
team. The averages show that the Y.
N. G. A. has many clever boWiers. The
records thus far are far ahead of last
season.
The work of the Junior teams was in
teresting. The Bedford Juniors made a
total of 1882, which excelled that of all
teams except the Jersey City Seniors.
The score is remarkable for the reason
that they bowled away from home aud
beat the Senior team of their own
branch by 100. and the Seniors howled at
home. The second best figures were
those OF the. Centrais who BOWED at home
and ran up 1892. 1t was the second team
OF the jersey City branch that fell on the
CentraI's alleys, bat Jersey City was
third with 1,4l1. The Washington Heights
