Boston, June ga sneak thief en-
tered the Metropolitan national bank
here and stole 10000, while the paying
teller's attention was drawn away for
moment.
The man entered the bank at about II
o'clock, and at the teller's window
asked for some directions about send
ing a money order. The teller gave the
information desired, and the stranger
stood at the counter, apparently max
ing notes. Just then the teller was
called to another part of the office and
the visitor quickly thrust his arm
through the grating of the window and
took so $500 notes and five $1,000
notes. A young lady stenographer in
the bank saw the mans action, but he
escaped. He was apparently about rs
years of age, and we'll dressed.

FORMS A NEW CABINET.
Senator Waldeck-ROusseau Succeeds
In organizing a New French
Ministry.

Paris, June Estate Thursday aft
ernoon the announcement was made
that Senator Waldeck- Rousseau had
completed the formation of a cabinet
with the exception of the portfolio of
public works.
The senator, accompanied by the new
cabinet ministers, proceeded to the
Elysee palace at 6:10 p. M, to present
his colleagues to President Loubet.
M. Waldeck-Rousseau ignored MN.
Guillain, Krantz and Poincare, in view
of their attitude during the previous
negotiations.
The new cabinet as organized is as fol-
lows:
Senator Waldeck- Rousseau president Of
the council of ministers and minister of
the interior
M Delcasse, minister of foreign affairs.
war.
M. DeLanessan, minister of marine.
M. Mouis minister of justice.
M. Caillaux, minister of finance.
M. Millerand minister of commerce.
M. Leagues, minister of public instruc-
ton.
M. Decrais, minister of the colonies.
M. Jean Dupuy, minister of agriculture.
The cabinet was completed by the ac-
ceptance of the portfolio of public
works by M. Pierre Daudin.
The new cabinet is strong combina-
ton, and is wholly in favor of Dreyfus;
but, since it contains such extreme men
as Marquis de Gallifet and M. Millerand,
it can hardly be expected to have long
career. The socialist party have al
ready declared that they will not in
any way be bound by or responsible for
M. Millerand's acts as a minister. The
latter, however, is a powerful debater,
who will share with M. Waldeck-Rous-
seau the brunt of defending the cabinet
in the chamber, most of the other min
listers being far less skilled in debate. M.
WaldeckRousseau, who is perhaps the
most successful pleader at the French
bar, loses an income of 10000 by be-
coming minister.

The life of teacher in our public schools is any thing but bed of roses, as he or she has as many temperaments and dis positions to deal with as there are pupils in the school, parents should not be too ready to pass judgment until an investigation be had to ascertain who is to blame.
 There have been complaints against teachers, who have been annoyed by habitual tardiness by the same pupils, for exacting. or trying to exact, punctuality in their pupils, which were altogether uncalled for and unjust; as no teacher can advance a pupil as he should be advanced, when the pupil is habitually tardy and irregular in his attendance.
