S. G. Browns Office last Monday night.

fore the board except auditing the
regular monthly bills.
Superintendent Ellis made some
very good suggestions for the consid-
Grafton of the board, among which
was one showing the necessity of a
new high school building next year.
There are now in the high school
room l25 pupils, in a room that was
never calculated to accommodate more
than 100 at the outside, and, as near
as the matter can be estimated, next
year there will be 15O or 16O pupils in
this department. More room is an
absolute necessity and the sooner the
matter is shaped up the more likely
it is to be ready for next year.

A Tough, Tough Fish.

Fish seem to have no sense OF feel
Ing, and many people believe that the
angry and energetic movements OF a
fish when II Is caught are due rather 10
annoyance at losing It's liberty than TO
any sense OF pain. 90" confirm thls'
because | have :,er and over again
taken aa understood pike that has been
once or twice caught and put back into
the water.
Upon one occasion three Of us-boys
of the Old brigade-were fishing In a
small pool in a narrow. sluggish river.
Jones caught a small pike, and as II
was understood, being barely four
pounds. be cut the hooks out Of its gul-
let and threw the fish in again. Inside
Of 80 seconds Jones caught the same
fish again. once more he cut out the
hooks, and this time he had TO maui II
very much. Once more IT was kicked
In.
Then caught It, still bleeding. l got
the hooks out with difficulty. and be-
fore 1 could throw the fish in again

Pride of the Poor.

Mrs. Clarence Burns, who is so well
known for her philanthropic work,
SAYS that In all her experience In visit
ing the tenements OF the poor Of the
city she has never been asked for aims.
Mrs. Burns has made business Of WIS.,
iting the poor with the hope Of helping
them whenever she saw the need, but
finds 1t almost impossible to make the
really deserving poor acknowledge that
they are In need Of anything.
One day she visited a family who
were all huddled together in one bare,
cold room. and their faces were so
pinched she knew they were starving.
But In response to her offer to help
them the mother said:
mo. thank you. The children have
had something today. am sure to get
work soon."
~ After questioning as to just exactly
what the children had had TO eat Mrs.
Burns found that they had subsisted
for three days on a few dried scraps OF
stale bread. This experience, she says,
Is repeated frequently.-New York
Tribune.

Mutually Agreeable.

One day last summer a sour visaged,
middle aged, fussy woman got on one
Of the smoking seats in an open car
In the subway. Next to her sat man
who was smoking a cigar. More than
that, the woman, shifting, easily made
out that the man had been eating on
ions. Still more than that she had
the strongest kind Of suspicion that he
had been drinking beer. The woman
fused and wriggled and grew angrier
and looked at the man scornfully
Presently she could endure 1t no Ion
ger. She looked squarely at him and
said:
