There are at Harrow, and at every other
large school, many traditions that are
handed down from generation to genera
ton OF boys concerning their predecessors,
who are usually represented as little short
of dcmigods
One Of them, said TO be a fact occurred
during the head mastership of the late
Rev. DR.. Vaughan, one of Harrow's great
est benefactor-, who brought the school to
its present state Of efficiency.
1t is necessary To mention that from
time immemt cIaI tail coats have been worn
by the upper form boys,
One night, a. TIE head master was walk

rules, was also enjoying the evening air
On the hoy taking to has heels he imme-
dately gave chase and was so successful as
to get possession of one tail OF his coat
He thought lie would thereby be able TO
catch the culrrt the next morning IN

Agnes Repplier in Scribner'S. Crippled
lads, consumptive mothers, angelic little

The Efficacy of Il Countersign.

While Colonel Gillian, with the Middle
Tennessee regiment, was occupying Nash
Vile during the late war, he stationed
sentries and patrols in all the principal
streets of the city. One day an Irishman
who had not been long enlisted was put
on duty at prominent crossing, and he
kept a sharp and faithful watch. Pres
entity citizen came along.
''Halt! Who goes there?"
"a citizen" was the response.
"Advance and give the countersign.
81 have not the countersgn," replied
the indignant citizen, land the demand
for it at this time and place Is unusual
"Well, begorah! ye don't pass this way
until We say Bunker Hill"
The citizen, approaching the situation,
smiled and advanced to the sentry, and
cautiously whispered the magic words.

sentinel resumed his beat.-Hdrper' S

An Irish witness was being examined as
to his knowledge of shooting affair.
"Did you see the shot fired?" the magis-
trate asked. "No, sorr. only heard it,"
was the evasive reply. "The evidence is
not satisfactory" replied the magistrate
sternly; "stand down. The witness
turned round to leave the box, and di-
rectly his back was turned ne laughed
derisiyely. The magistrate, indignant at
this contempt of court, called him back
and asked him how he dared to laugh in
court. "Did We see me laugh, your
honor?" queried the offender. NO, sir,
but l heard you," was the irate reply.
"That evidence is not satisfactory" said
Pat quietly, but with twinkle in his
eye. And this time every body laughed

Curious title for soda water talk,
isn't it? But its important. Wen
tell you something interesting for
you to know
Experience has shown that the
block-tin lining of soda tanks, the
containers in which the soda is car
donated, don't last but a few years.
When this lining is defective and
the tank is copper, someone is sure
to be poisoned. 1t won't kill you,
but it will produced seasickness
that won't be relieved until the
poisoned soda is up.
Now, steel tanks are absolutely
safe. We use them exclusively.
Should the lining of block-tin be
defective no harm results There's
no poison in steel. If it leaks, we
know it. 1t won't keep its pres
sure and it is laid aside.
No one has ever been poisoned
by drinking our soda. We have
always taken the best precautions.
We leave nothing to chance. No
safety in any other plan.

the women and schoolgirls of Canton:
Mrs Hartzell and my Friends-I wish I
was able to make a suitable and worthy
response to your most gracious message
delivered to me by Mrs. Hartzel. The
chief regret with me to-day is that Mrs.
Mckinley is not able 10 share with me
matchless scene. We have had nothing like
it in the whole course of this most inter
esting campaign and I assure you that 1
appreciate il more than l can find words
to express To have the assurance of the
sympathy, the good Village, more. the
confidence of the good women of Canton
who have known me all my life is an honor
which L appreciate more than any honor
that can come to me. 1 cannot forbear on
this occasion to say not only to the wom-
en-. but to my neighbors and friends of
Canton generally. of all political parties,
creeds and beliefs, that the splendid man.
ner which you have all behaved towards
me and the great cause which l represent,
fills me with gratitude that L can never.
never forget. i thank you for this call and
l can only say that so long as the women
of the country, who preside over American
homes. keep those homes pure and spot
less. no great harm can ever come TO this
great Republic. Noud cheers and waving

ciate their coming here to-day They real
ly ought to have come with the boys last
night Qaughter), but 1 suppose the only
reason they did not come was that they
were not invited. However, inasmuch as
you did not come yesterday i am glad
that you have come to-day and [ congrat-
ulate you upon having these splendid moth
and sisters as your chaperons. 1 am
glad to see you waving that glorious old
flag in your hands To-Day, the flag that
represents the highest aims and aspira-
tons of the American people and that has
been borne in every battle in which this
Republic has been engaged from the days
of the revolution until now and has never
been surrendered TO any nation beneath the
