Now that we are to have a first
class public school. let it be non-
political and non-s -sectarian. The
first man who attempts to
make it either ought to be "sat

Fnn on a Military rrsnnpors.

When the United States transport Zelandia carried part of tha second ex- pedftfon Of troops from San Francisco to Manila during the early part of the war now in progress. aboard were the Tenth Pennsylvania volunteers and the now famous Utah battery.
 To divert Che monotony of long voyage the yet untrained soldiers in- duIged in all sorts of games and pranks during the intervals between drill and school
 The officers were not all inclined to stand upon military dignity, and so when the priyates had exhausted each others good nature they dragged i'll the noncoms. who in turn dragged the commissioned officers into the va rious traps the skylarkers set for each other.
 Says an ex-high private who took the voyage in question:
 Some of the boys were gathered together on the forward deck; quietly they passed the word back that so and so was wanted Coming forward one Of the group would beckon to him mysteriously and as he stopped to lis ten whaek' would come 3 tremendous blow from a barrel slave from some unknown source behind him.
 After a yell of laughter had sub sided he would be handed the stava and given the privilege of naming the next victim.
 This happened in turn to private. corporal, sergeant. lieutenant, captain and major, and the boldest held their breath as the major, with a grim smile, said:
 Private Smith. present my eompli- ments to the colonel and tell him that Maj. -- respectfully desires his pres ence forward
 The colonel came. stopped over, re- ceived his Whack. strengthened up. and to the delight of the boys shouted
 Tell the chaplain to come forward at oRca.'"

A Youthful hIa.ler ot Flnanee.

One of the cadets of northwestern gailitary academy. but who lives in .shieage. has convinced his father that ne is destined to brilliant business career Ii is all owing to a letter that the young man wrote short time ago. 1t appears that the father had prom ised the boy he should have any sort of watch he wanted at the close of the present school term Nothing 1hore was heard about the watch until the father received letter that ran about like this: Dear Father:-I have been looking al watches lately and have decided that the kind l want will cost you about s350 As a watch of this value is hardly of the sort for a boy Of 15 10 carry, and as I will not need watch till after leave school, ] wish to make this suggestion: Prob ably you are hard up and do not wish 10 spend $350 for watch at this time. Four years from now, when I leave school watches will be cheaper, and 1t is likely that you can then buy the same watch for $150 Now the interest on $350 for four years Simple inter est-I am willing to let you have the benefit of the compound at 6 per cent twill be s84. If you will send me the F@B4 now you need not buy the watch till after I leave school. In this way YOU will have the use of the $266 for four years. and at the end of that time fbe watch will only cost you $50; S150 plus sS4 is s234, or $ft6 less than what the watch will cost you now. So, you see. by this plan you will make clear profit on this transaction of S1l6 Your loving son. EDDY"
 Animals That Never Drink
 There are in the world several kinds of animals that have never swallowed a drop of water in all their lives; these include the Tamas of Patagonia and certain gazelles of the far east.

A Singing Wolf.

Near Wiedermans, Texas, is an abandoned well, about 50 feet deep, which, correspondent of Popular Science says, is famous in the neigh borhood for it's musical powers. In fine weather. particularly with west erly wind it gives forth sound like that of an Aeolian harp swelling and dying away by turns. When heavy northerly wind is blowing. the water rises within a few feet of the top, and strange noises, which some persons think resemble means, issue from the old well. An attempt to fill up the well a few years ago failed appar- emily because of the existence of subterranean cavity which swallowed up the dirt as fast as 1t was dumped in.

Maurice Corson, a Palermo, \. J., storekeeper who died few days ago, bought a quantity of calico during the civil war, paying fifty cents yard for it. When the price fell to eight cents a yard after the war, Corson declared he would not sell a yard of his goods unless he realized a sum equivalent to the price he had paid for it. The goods remained on the shelves in Cor sons store for thirty-eight years aud have just been sold for two and three cents yard.

People who have grHdge against telephone companies in general will be pleased to know that the women Of New South Wales refused to be ground down by any soolless corporation. They determined to get the worth of the telephone rent no matter how much time it took. so they conversed over the wires by the hour until the central office people were driven to distraction Things got to such d point that the postmaster general in Sydney was appealed to. and he issued an order forbidding loquaeious women from monopolizing a telephone for more than ten minutes at a time

Rnhhr,. Sling.

Bobby was lying on the bank. think ing what to do next. He had used his sling against several cats and seat them in frantic haste beyond his reach. had brought down 8 robin with we'll directed shot and had sent Tommy into the house with a red spot on his face and a protesting howl Besides that. he had driven a bluebird from it's nest broken a window and fuffied the unusually even temper of his big chum Towser. Now he was wonder ing what ne should do next. for it still lacked an hour of seho0l-ttme.
 He was a bad boy, you say2 Well, perhaps cireumstantial evidence indi- cated that, but his mother was in posi- to judge. and she did not think sa Was he not prompt in doing his chores, and cheerful and willing in ac- ea2dng extra work; and did he not iH. isl on helping her wash shes and sweep and carry water? Sometimes she spoke severely of his "cruel sport, but in her heart she substituted another word for it-thoug ghtlessness.
 The sunlight lay warm upon the bank. and presently he saw two bugs climbing tiny slope that was bare 0f grass He reached out for pebble to throw. but none was within reach, and the game was not worth the exertion of rising. So he lay there and watched.
 He was not quite sure about the bugs, but thought they were the kind that papa told of carrying such great weights If so. they must be regular giants of strength. and this thought brought n, 1ra interest into his eyes
 One of them was tagging behind the other and moving with slow, haltlng motion. as though partly disabled. Perhaps he had been trying to lift mountain. and the mountain had fallen on him and broken his leg. Bobby ehuekled at the idea. and moved lit tie so he could see better, for now the foremost bug had turned back to his companion with whom he appeared D be in earnest consultation
 In changing his position. Bobby's hand came in contact with a pebble, but he merely pushed it aside instead O. picking fl up to throw He wanted to see what the bugs were going to do. And then very curious thing hap pened
 The bit of slope had become too steep for the disabled bug to climb and his companion. as though appre- eiating the situation. seemed to bs studying some way out Of the diff culty. Presently he moved to a posi- ton in front of his friend and flat tened himself as closely as possible to the ground. After little hesitation. the disabled bug climbed by slow and painful degrees upon his back and was borne up the slope and into the grass.
 Bobby gave d low, expressive whfs- tie. then lay back upon the grass and gazed long and earnestly at a cloud that was floating overhead. At length he rose slowly. and did not even look at the grass where the bugs had dis appeared. Down upon the lawn he could sec a slight futtering It was the robin he had hurt. and he went down and caught the bird in spite ot it's dazed eHorts to get away. He ear ried it into the house to his mother.
 II shot it, mamma. he said, simply, but with an odd little note in his voice which made her look at him quickly.
