Terms In the Dingley Tariff Bill Not Fa-
military Known.
The principal Of one Of the public
schools of Rochester gave the new tariff
act as published in The Post Express a
thorough reading and addresses a com-

II have consulted the latest editions
of the three leading dictionaries and
fail to find these words. What do they
mean?"

The School Picnic.

There was great excitement in school
No. 6. The head master had
that there would be a picnic on Friday in
the woods on Lake Mirror, and that the
IL res other schools in the village would
ioin them at the town ball, and all march
in a grand procession together to the
picnic grounds.
Little knots of boys and girls we're
seen talking eagerly together at recess,
but one little fellow stood away off by
himself, with a very unhappy look upon
his face.
whats the matter with your brother,
Mabel ?" asked one of the girls.
~ don't know, I'm sure. I'll go and
see," answered Mabel.
"What is it. Robbie2" asked Mabel,
kindly. Nothing" answered Robbie
looking down surIily.

all about it. Have any of the boys or
girls been teasing your"
"No, it's that picnic. can't GO"
"Why not, Robbie?" asked Mabel.

can't go with these patched things; and
those are just a sight. So it isn't a bit
of use. l can't GO. IN just have to stay
at home and miss all the fun"
"Perhaps something may happen" said
Mabel, slowly and vaguely.
1t was hard for all the scholars to fix
their minds upon their lessons; they were
too full of the picnic. But Mabel's mind
was At home in her room, inside a little
bank where a five dollar gold piece was
lying.
"Yes, it would just get him a pretty
sailor suit," abe said to herself. But
%ive-dollar gold pieces were not common
at Mabel's home, aud this had been given
her by Ter far-away suntie. Sac had
not spent it yet because nothing was
quite precious enough to max her willing
to spend the shining gold piece to secure
it.
All that day and all the next she
thought it over. At last she made up her
mind, and took mamma into her conf
dence.
Friday arrived bright and beautiful.
The children met at the schoolhouse for
their banners before joining the others at
the own hall.

of the girls.
