Mr.. coMINs' NOMINATION.

To the Editor of The Spy: I was very
glad to learn by recent issue of The
Spy that E. l. Comins had consented to
allow the use of his name for reelection
to the school board. Some of us know
that Mr.. Comins felt that he could not
longer give the immense amount of time
and strength which 1t requires TO faith
fully discharge ones duties on the board.
Mr.. Comins commenced teaching when a
young man, and was for many years
principal of Belmont and Woodland street
schools.
If long experience and success in that
experience count, Mr.. Comins must be
eminently fitted for the work. am sure
the voters of ward will be glad to con.
tinue in office a man so well qualified for
the place-a man who shirks no duty

TOWN TALES.

Life in a boarding house as told IN
Joke books and humorous papers always
makes the boarding mistress lord or
all she surveys and incidentally shows
I'M the life of boarder as anything but
homelike. Occasionally it is reversed
and yesterday in talking with friend,
recalled story of friend of mine
who wonders yet why he was ordered to
leave his boarding house. Last summer
when the mercury was running hlgn
and a cool glass of ice water, or in fact
any LIQUID At to drink would appeal very
much to ones thoughts, my friend pur-
chased a case Of tonic and brought 1t TO
his room.
He was going to have some company
the following day. and after he haq got
the tonic safely placed underneath his
bed he thought Of purchasing piece OF
ioe.
The Jingle Of bell on an ice wagon
attracted his attention, and calling the
ice man he purchased chunk for the
nominal sum of cents.
He took 1t into the house and not

and bears a legend on his back, saying
Smoke somebody's SOAP, or words to
that effect. He seems to have the priv
ilege of staring into the faces of the
passersby and making himself disagree
able Then, another type in Worcester
is the black cork artist" who is sure
to attract attention by simply walking
along in rag time. He is dressed in
clothes that make themselves audible,
and is also engaged in bearing a pla-
card on his back.
The pseudo countryman on the bicycle
has given place to a tramp with the
same means of locomotion, who creates
some excitement and little amusement
| by his efforts to ride, and finally sur
prises those who are watching by
standing on the frame. His placard is
fastened to the machine, and he also
bears a legend on his back. The man
on the giraffe bicycle hardly comes
in this category, but he is a success as
far as attention is concerned. The other
day he stopped his wheel against
telegraph post on Main street and went
sound asleep, perohed above the mad
dening throng, in a most precarious po-
Sition.
While this sort of people becomes tire
some when they are seen day after
! day, they are probably less In the way

Among children's cute sayings the
following anecdote is related: A little
boy was told by his father, on the de-
parture of the latter for a heightened
absence, to take care of mamma.
"I leave mamma" said the confiding
parent, Fin your charge" That night
when the young hopeful knelt, as was
his custom, by his mothers knee, he
prayed:
please, Lord, bless grandmamma
and take care of her; bless father and
take care of him; but you needn't
trouble about mother, because 1 am go
ing to take care of her"

on the center table and was thinking for
a moment how he would arrange IT.,
when a friend called. The owner OF the
Ice walked out into the hallway to talk
to his friend for moment and the talk
became so interesting that he forgot the
ice and accepted an invitation to walk
down town. When he returned the Ice
had disappeared and the center table
was incidentally minus much OF
its painted decoration and the
carpet was soaking wet. The
landiady discovered the Incl

she thought that it would be a good
idea for him to go where he could get

often wonders why she should have

The College Club had a conundrum
party yesterday afternoon at Mrs. AL

were given and there was much run
over the conundrums.
The lecture course of the Worcester
Kindergarten Club was opened sue
cessfully Yesterday afternoon by Mrs.
William Rutan of Boston, who gave
a talk on storytelling. Mrs. Rutan is
a past mistress in the art of telling
stories to children, and here her adult
audience hung spellbound upon her
words as she told her old Aryan folk
stories. Directness, simplicity and a
certain repetitive quality should mark
the story that is told for a child S
amusement, said Mrs. Rutan; and then
she went on to say how STORYTELLING
had a practical side, since 1t not only
gave the child very great pleasure, but
also strengthened his powers of con-
centration and educated ms sense OF
STYLE and his command of language. A
good story, she said, must either be
something that has touched and
thrilled the teller, or else it should be a
classic, like Little Red Riding Hood.
AS for the mechanics Of story telling.
first, you must know your story, and
then YOU must see it in colors and be
able to tell it wildly and earnestly. A
fiippantly told story outrages a child
The whole talk was poetic and charm
