State Superintendent J. J. Doyne has issued the following circular let ter:
 q am informed that one Harry Batdorf, claiming to have a letter of recommendation from me, is sell ing school supplies in the state for the National Supply Company, St. Louis or Kansas City. have nev- CT heard of any such firm, and MT. Batdorf has no letter of recommend ation from me. It further appears that, in some instances, warrants have been drawn by the directors in advance of the delivery of the goods, and the goods have in no case been received.
 Examiners and treasurers are urged to keep the directors on the alert against such impositions, and no director should draw warrants for goods purchased until the same have been delivered. Permit me also to ask that you call their atten- tion to the comments on section 7049 of the school law, as a guide to the legitimate expenditure of the school moneys for purchase of supplies"

he asked the lady at his right to draw
card from the pack and make a men-
tai note of IT, She did so and returned
the card AT random to the deck The
performer mkt asked three or four OF
the male guests to shuttle the cards In
turn and requested the last of them to
place the pack In the soup tureen aud

who had drawn the card, he asked her
In what order she would have II APP

said she would like to have II In the
seventeenth plase One of the gentle
men then took the pack from the soup
turecn and counted the cards from the
top, face down.
What was your card?" the perform

teenth card was turned over and prov.
ed to be the ace of spades.
