HE WAS BORN so.
Troubles of u Man who Has Genius
for the ImOnnnrtnnC.

There goes a man." said a Canal street
philosopher, according to the New Orleans
Times Herald. who has made a failure OF
life in spite of exceptional equipment for
success He is honest, affable, highly edu-
Gated and as Industrious as a beaver He
has no bad habits, and | couldn't name
man in New Orleans who possesses a kindlier
disposition, yet he is continually out of
job and is studiously avoided by everybody
who knows him.
THE mysterious part of it is that nobody
can tell you just why, and the poor fellow
doesn't understand it himself He is begin
ming to think that somebody has worked a
rabbits foot on him, but the secret is really
this: He has a genius for the inopportune.
BY some malign freak of fate he always
says and does the wrong thing at the wrong
time. 1t is not lack of tact; it is destiny.
For example, like him, but he never called
on me in his life that his visit wasn't highly
unwelcome. He is morally certain to drop
in just in time to catch one doing something
foolish or discreditable, and you know how
We hate the innocent chance witness of our
folies. He made mortal enemy of Colonel
- because he happened to walk into
his office while the old man was dyeing his
mustache. He chanced on certain promi-
hearsing an impromptu after dinner speech,
and the prominent lawyer got even by
knocking him out of valuable contract.
Those are two cases out of dozens
He never gossips or tattles, but the mere
fact that he has seen things he oughtn't to
see and heard things he oughtn't to hear
makes his very presence embarrassing to
the other fellows. It's most unfortunate,
and all fate. If he We're introduced to a
man whose grandfather had been hanged
he'd be absolutely certain to begin talking
about rope inside of two minutes AS l
said before, he has a genius for the inop-
perfume. My wife loathes him because her
false frizzes blew off in the street one day
and landed on top of his umbrella He
had nothing whatever to do with either the
frizzes or the elements, but now l can't
ask him to come to my house. Terrible to
be under such curse, isn't it?"

New Mexico at sessions of the legislature,
court and other official bodies there must
always be an Interpreter who translates all
transactions, speeches. pleas, etc, into
Spanish, or; if they are made in Spanish,
into English. In the United States court

portunity to test his linguistic ability on

Indians are concerned and in which In

Meeting at Des Moines.
Prof w. N. Clifford, principal of the High
school, has returned from Des Moines, where
he attended meeting OF the High school
principals of the state. He reports that the
meeting was a most interesting one and
number OF topics relative to High school
management we're discussed A permanent
organization was effected, which will in no
way conflict with the State Teachers asso-
citation. The principals decided that 1t would
ne. to their benefit to have one day to them
selves during the year, when they could the
better discuss matters particularly relating
10 High schools. They felt that the High
school interests demanded a closer discus
sion than could be afforded in the hurly-
burly of a general meeting. 1t was decided
that in forming a permanent organization
TO have no officers other than an executive
committee. The following were elected on
this committee w. o. Riddell, Des Molnes;
A. w. Brett, North Des Mones w. N. Clif-
ford Council Bluffs; Miss Abbott, Cedar
