attracted my attention at last night
meeting of the club which was held III
the rear of the Goddard Seminary gym
nasium, while the Inspector was on lhe
roof of the famous "Gym.' Inc cluo
were discussing the question OF winch

slot machine of Kendrick Il Co, ana the
order to FALL In" was given in order
that the Boss might look oyel the sus-
pccted and determine if possible which
face showed the guilty rarty, and then
when found the Boss was to reward the
william with promotion. Now the In

Good Book, "our gang loves a cheerful

The club voted to send small boys among
