The writer is acquainted with a person
who was allowed days rest from his

of praise in regard to his parents kind

parents failed to do their duty. Think
about it parents!
1t is the duty OF every pupil to avoid
disturbing the school by such unneces-

dropping states and pencils.

3-Noisiy handling paper and turning

4-Drumming with fingers or pencil
5-Moving the feet upon the floor.
6-Attempting to sharpen pencils ON

a STORY ABOUT A GUN.

Your correspondent has just heard Of
little incident that followed chasing
the fox last Christmas day. The hunter
who lost his gun lives way over beyond
Botsford, "sou', southwest" After
most exhausting day Of travel and great
excitement, dancing to the music of the
dogs from the early gray morn till the
last wink of twilight, he unbuckled his
horse and went to bed. Early Sunday
morning there came through his brain
an electric flash upon which was written {:
Where is my gun?'' In his thin robes
of the night he found it wasn't there.
Hastily dressing ia wooden, he started
out to his wagon and stood aghast to
find no gun there. A very plausible
suggestion came, ibid lose that gun

In Hagerstown, Md, five tramps
struck the town just after the new tramp
ordinance had gone into effect, and this
provided that persons convicted of being
tramps should be compelled to sweep the
streets. For five days these five tramps
have had to sweep in hobbies and under
the watchful eyes of officers. The result
of this legislation is that no tramps now
infest Hagerstown. This is the way to
settle TIE tramp problem. Set them to
work at hard labor.

of great benefit to him in his own prac-
