NAUGHTY ACADEMY GIRLS.
Impromptu Midnight Exhibition of High
Kicking and Skirt Dancing.

HAVERHILL, Mass, Feb. 25.-Bradford
Academy girls have never before posed as
high kickers, but they are now accused
of having surprised not only themselves
and the Tufts College Glee Club, but prin-
cipal Allen and other teachers as we'll.
This interesting episode in the life of the
pretty academy girls Is said to have oc-
CURED last Wednesday night Rumor has
it that three Of the girls have been dis
missed and fourteen suspended. and that
they must leave the academy next Monday.
The Tufts College Glee Club, shortly after
midnight, serenaded the girls at Bradford
Academy on the other side Of the river.
Inside of five minutes seventeen of them
had tripped out from their rooms in vari-
Gus parts of the building to the room OF
a Western girl the ground floor in the
front part OF the building. The girls were
evidently entranced by the college songs
and yodles. and, as the story goes. they
Were soon giving exhibitions attired In
loose costumes of high kicking and skirt
dancing. This continued for about fifteen
or twenty minutes, when the girls were
dismayed at finding that one Of their num-
Der was none other than a tutor in the
school. The names of all the young ladies
were taken, and yesterday three of the
number receiver word that their presence
was TO longer desired at the seminary.
while the other fourteen received notices

PITTSBURG, Feb. 25-The West Penn,
one OF the principal hospitals in this city,
is quarantined because of a case OF small
pox. which developed there this afternoon.
Mrs. Elizabeth Richardson. a resident Of
Stanton avenue, East End. was taken to

The Yuletide Log.

In the Black mountains at the pres
ent day, the custom of bearing home
the yule log is still carefully observed
in all it's ancient detail. The house IA
ther fells the chosen trees; then he ut
ters prayer and carefully lifts up his
log and bears it home on his shoulder.
His sons follow his. example, each bear
ing a log for himself. The father then
leans his log up against the house, be-
ing very careful that the freshly cut
end is uppermost; the lesser logs of the
other members surround it, and this is
the Glavni Badnjak. AS the house IA
ther places each log he says, Veseli
badnji dan,'' or "a merry log day. :
The fire thus kindled was not allow
ed to 60 out until the following year, or
great evil would befall the household
The fagots Of the old fire lighted the
new logs, and then were carefully ex-
tinguished and stored away among the
household treasures. In the highlands
Of Scotland to this day it is considered
great misfortune if the fire be allowed
to 60 out, and often have I heard it
said, ''Yae nae luck, we've lect cot the
fer. y -Philadelph Public Ledger.

Economizinr For Christma,s.

There is q touch Of humor IN the petty
economies praoticed BY many men for
several weeks before Christmas. The
man who has been accustomed to costly
lunches, and who invariably bestows a
substantial tip upon the waiter, about
this time Of the year is likely to affect q
liking for a luncheon consisting Of a
sandwich and piece Of pie. He does
not smoke quite 50 many cigars as for
merly and conyinces himself that q less
expensive weed is quite as satisfactory
as his favorite brand He does not fre-
quent the cafes as much as formerly,
and there is noticeable lack Of his
usual free hearted hospitality when he
encounters his friends in such places
This strange parsimon which has come
over the man is not due to the fact that
he has met with financial misfortune,
nor that he has suddenly become sordid
and mean He is merely economizngin
his expenses ii order that he may have
more money with which to purchase

A CHRISTMAS LEGEND.
The Miraculous Walking Stick of st. Joseph
Took Root and Blossomed.

The Miraculous Walking Stick of st. Joseph
Took Root and Blossomed.
There is legend interesting in con-
nection with the custom Of extending
festivities from Christmas to Twelfth
day, or Epiphany. According to tradi-
tion, st. Joseph, while passing through
the town Of Glastonbury, rested on a
hillside. His walking stick of dry haw-
thorn he thrust into the earth, when it
Immediately took root and the next day
blossomed. Every year thereafter it
blossomed on Christmas day, which was
.Jen. 6, old style. This thorn tree had
two trunks and grew to an immense
size. Many singular instances related
Of it obtained general credence.
Once in Queen ElizabettlI time a
Puritan, hoping to root out the super.
stition attached to it, hewed down the
larger trunk, but when he attacked the
other he was miraculously prevented
from accomplishing his task. His ak
slipped, cutting his leg seriously, and a
chip flew up and put out one Of his
eyes. The severed trunk lay for years
attached to the earth by a mere frag-
ment Of bark, yet it grew and flourish
ed Even after it was taken away and
thrown into a ditch it continued to
blossom, while the standing trunk, all
cut and mangled near the roots, spread
out its branches in q great circle and
bloomed luxuriantly.
A long time afterward the second
trunk was cut down, but the shoots
from it were said to be growing in
many places, each claiming to be the
Glastonbury thorn. It is Oh record that
when. the change Of style was made in
1853 people were greatly perplexed, won

thorn would blossom a great crowd

Pythian Memorial Day.

Last Sunday was the annual Memorial
day of tie Knights of Pythias, and was
appropriately observed by the McCook
knights. The members of the order as
semb1ed at their castle hall in the after
noon and headed by the Brigade band pro-
ceeded to Longview cemetery where three
members of the order are buried, namely
Samuel Fisk, J. B. McCabe and Swan
Nelson. The graves of these knights
were completely covered with the rich
profusion of flowers, in the solemn and
beautiful ritualistic services of the order.
Memorial day is truly one of the rarest
features of Pythianism. How appropri-
ate that the living should thus remem-
ber their departed brothers each re-
curing month of roses with the EN-
blematic myrtle and the perfumed flow
ers. What a touching and charming
tribute of respect.
May the interest in the observance
grow with the years.

The Petersens Again.

The Union hotel was the scene of
another grand row, last Saturday after
noon, in which Mr.. and Mrs. John Peter
sen, proprietors, and Newton Biggs,
chief clerk, were the participants. Dur
ing the fracas Mrs. Petersen brought a
revolver into action much to the alarm
of Mr.. Petersen, who ran from the CORY
field like white head.
Marshal Bump shortly appeared on
the festive scene and took the belliger-
ent trio into custody. Petersen and
Biggs were arraigned before Police Judge
Berry charged with fighting and dis
turbing the peace. Biggs plead guilty
and was fined $500 and costs. Peter
sens case was postponed until Wednes-
day.
Mrs. Petersen was arraigned before
Squire Berry charged with shooting at
her lege lord and master with intent to
kill. The preliminary examination was
finished Saturday night, and resulted in
her being placed under $500 bonds to
appear at the next term of the district
court to answer to the above serious
charge. Petersen and Biggs were each
placed under $500 bonds to appear at
the same time as witnesses in the case.
Mrs. Petersen discharged her revolver
at her spouse twice, though it is not
likely she intended to more than frighten
HMM this she succeeded.
This row has assumed the proportions
of a public nuisance. Another outbreak
should land the whole combination be-
hind the bars.

Water for the Cemeteries.

We take great pleasure in announcing
that the prospects are encouraging that
water from the city water works will
soon be piped over to Longview and St.
Patrick's cemeteries. Quite sum has
already been pledged by citizens who
have dear ones in Longview's quiet en-
brace. the parishioners Of St. Patrick S
church have pledged quite a generous
donation, and the city fathers have
promised assistance in this laudable pro
ject, which will cost abo ut 5000.
1t is proposed to lay inch pipe on the
surface of the ground, except at road
crossings and over plowed fields where
the pipes will be placed foot or so un-
der the ground. Provision will of course
be made for draining the pipes during
the winter so that they will not freeze
up.
The water company has generously
given the free use of water, uuder con-
ditions which will doubtless be made
public as soon as the connection is COM
pleted.
F. D. Burgess, who has been pushing
this matter, states that he hopes to have
the pipe down some time next week.
This will place it within the reach of
all to improve their cemetery lots; and
we confidently expect to witness great
transformation scene taking place within
both city and parish burial places.

eff I had pass over the railroads like
you have, would be on the go all the
time" The average newspaper man
hears that about steen times day every
day in the year. The electrician of this
department has travelled great deal on
passes (paid for in advertising space)
during the last ten years, and he figures
out that it cost him about ten cents a
mile to travel free This is the way it
is: Something is going on in Omaha.
The electrician makes up his mind to
go, as he has free transportation, and it
will not cost him anything for fare. So
he goes; and when he gets to Omaha he
spends ten or twelve dollars. If he had
not been possessor of a "pass" he would
not have been in Omaha. He would
have looked at the fare several times be-
fore buying ticket. And that's the
way it goes to be the owner of 'spass:"

it had not been for railroad passes

A Close Call,

Tuesday evening, Emmet Morrow had
close call for his life. He attempted
to drive over the railroad crossing at the
east end of the yard, and his wagon was
struck by all approaching freight train.
He was thrown from the wagon but not
severely hurt. A portion of his wagon
was carried some distance on the cow
catcher of the locomotive. The horses
ran away with the rest of the wagon,
which was pretty badly used up III the
accident. It was a narrow escape for
man and horses.
