time and will probably stay tlll the IalIet
part OF this week. he has mailed us beautl-
full souvenir postal, with fine portrait OF
CHRISTOPHER Columbus on one side and

small factor in making the times hard and
from being simply nuisance become "a curse
to the community in which they live, 1t is
false economy indeed that impels people who
are reasonably certain to have enough IN any
event to practice it at this time when they
would not at more prosperous periods. 1t is a
most inOppOrtune time for exercising spirit
OF boarding or niggardliness.

with the priests, but they said What Is that
TO US: See thou to that And Judas cast
down the pieces of silver in the temple and
departed and went and hanged himself Now
Children, do you know why Judas returned
to plead with the chief priests and eldersN
Various replies were offered, but still the
teacher waited AT length bright little fell

that in his opinion. the death of Bret Harte
would be most fortunate happening the an

is no denying Bret Hartc's genius, but he re-
