How st. PatrIck's BIRTHDAY Came TO lie
March 18th.

March 18th.
On eighth day OF March. II was. some
people say.
St Patrick at midnight first saw ths
day;
whilst others aver twas the ninth he
was born.
And twas all a mistake betwixt midnight
and morn.
For mistakes will occur in hurry and
shock.
And some blamed the infant andN soma
blamed the clock.
TIL with all their cross-Question5 sure
no one could know
IL the babe were too fast or the cloclj
were too slow.
At last both their factions so positive
grew
That each kept birthday; so Pat then
had two:
Until Father Mulcahy. who tould then,
their sins.
Says. mo wan could have two birthdays
but a twins"
Says he. Don't be fightin' for eight or for
nine:
Don't be always dividin'. but sometimes
combine.
Combine eight with nine: seventeen IS the
mark:
Let that be the birthday" Amen said
the clerk.
So they all got blind dhrunk. which COM
pleted their bliss.
And we keep up the practice from that
day TO this.

SUSSEX SCHOOL FUND
Ugly Rumors AAoat That II
is $4,000 Short.
UTTERLY WITHOUT FoUEDATIoN

LEGISLATURE NEGLECTED TO
PROVIDE THAT MONEY WHICH
HAD ACCUMULATED FROM IL
CENslE FEES SHOULD BE
PLACED TO THE CREDIT OF THE
GENERAL FUND.
Special Dispatch Evening Journal
Dover, Jan. 11.-There is a big story
ahoat here that The school fund OF Sus-
sex county Is short s27 600, and that
the Farmers Bank at Georgetown has
stopped the payment os checks OF the
school teachers, those Of Milford be-
ing mentioned among others.
This condition has given rise to ugly
rumom which have no Foundation ia
fact.
The explanation given for the con-
dition Is that when the school fund
was fixed at 100000, tts Legislature
neglected to provide THAT the money
which had accumulated in the school
fund from license fees between .he
time Of the distribution Of the school
fund in 1897 and the passage OF the
school law. should be paced to the
credit of the general fund This fact.
together with the extraordinary de-
mands on the general fund from the
expenses OF the Constitutional Conven-
tion and adjourned session Of the Leg
islature made il necessary that the
state treasurer should not put the
whole amount Of the school fund 70
the cred.t Of the districts at one time.
So that, after he had distributed II.
ne placed an amount to the credit OF
each district which he Thought would
be sufficient to run the expenses until
the Legislature met and diverted the
accumulated $4,000 to the genera
fund.
Senator Meredith This morning In
troduced a hili to that, effect, and Il
went TO the committee Immediately.

ing Milford, have drawn more yhanstate
