LAMB BREAKS UP A SCHOOL.
Animal Much Resembling Mary'H RE-
SCENTS Efforts of Teacher to Pat
Him Out, UpsettinG stove.

In 30 seconds a snow-white lamb,
belonging to flock that was being
driven past the new schoolhouse on
the Short Tract road the other day at
Nunda, n. Y, routed the entire school,
frightened Miss Alice Ray, the teach
er, into Mysteries, and forced the trus-
tees to hold special session to APP
propriate money to repair the damage
the lamb had done.
It's the sweetest little lamb, just
the kind that followed Mary to
school," Miss Ray said to her pupils
as the lamb dashed into the room.
The pupils thought so, too, until Miss
Ray began to pet the lamb and show
1T toward the door. Then the little
animal began racing around the
schoolroom. 1t collided with the stove
and knocked leg from under it and
it fell in heap. The Goals scattered
all over the floor, starting fire.
Miss Ray and the pupils broke for
the door and escaped, followed by a
binding smoke. They carried snow
and water and put out the fire. The
lamb was extricated by John Bennett,
who was driving the flock. Miss Raw
went home suffering from nervous
prostration and school broke up for
the day.

Tendency in Army to Cling to OBJ
solete and Useless Traditions.
Louis Gathmnnn, the Inventor, TellS
O Funny story to illustrate a
Pointed Criticism ON Army
Conservatism.

Louis Gathmann, the Chicago inven-
tor, has fund of funny stories, most OF
them dating back TO the days when he
lived in Germany. He tells one story in
particular to illustrate why it is that
army ordnance officers invariably dis
courage new ideas in gunnery instead
of welcoming inventions, as persons in
charge Of any private enterprise would
naturally do. "When went to Holland
as a boy" said the shrewd old inventor,
al had an experience with ordinary
army methods have never forgotten.
1t seems there was guard posted at
certain corner for some twenty-odd
years. The sentry was relieved every
four hours or so without the slightest
question during all that time.
FINALLY some one began to question
why guard was posted at that par
ticuIar corner at al. A laborious
search was instituted among the old
army records, and finally, to the amuse-
ment of everybody, the reason for that
sentry was at last discovered. 1t seems
that fence was painted on that cor
ner, and to keep the people from soiling
their clothes some well-disposed officer
stationed soldier with a gun there.
The paint dried on the fence and the
fence fell down, and the corner was
built up with another building, but the
sentry still paced his beat there for 20
years or more.
in this way some of our army tradi-
tons have been kept up, and officers
who are both brave and intelligent have
gone on doing certain things in a GER
tain way because method was init
ated in the department long years ago
for particular contingency which has
since entirely disappeared"
