Wear green, if it is becoming to you,

is about the sale of positions in the
school department under the last ad-

Summoned, "all tremble," before the
Igrand jury to tell their little story of
how they don't know who appointed
them, but whoever it was was lawfully
good" and ''no, y indeed, of course they
never paid one cent for their posi-
tons" One young thing, ingenious
to degree, says naively, "My brother
obtained my appointment. lie is a
contractor and plasterer. He was on
the county committee from his terri
tory or district or whatever it is, so
suppose he must have great political

i J. W. Flood, cashier Of the Donohoe-
