A Great stickler For Etiquette.
DR.. Thompson, master of Trinity col
lege, Cambridge, was an exceedingly
cold and austere man, never taking
much notice of the undergraduates I'M
der his care. On one occasion n Trim
ity man happened to be out walking
and was caught in storm. He ran
across field and took shelter beneath
large tree. When he arrived there,
he found, to his horror, that DIR.
Thompson was beneath it seeking pro-
lection from the rain. For some time
both stood silent, watching the clouds,
till at last the undergraduate, growing
desperate, ventured to remark that he
thought it was clearing up little.
"Sir," said the doctor haughtily,
frowning upon the wretched youth,
"all communications to the master Of
Trinity must be made through the
tutors"

In Bolivia, one of the highest inhab-
itated countries on the globe-La Paz,
the capital, being 10000 feet above the
sea level-much use is made Of that
graceful and invaluable pack animal,
the llama, which will travel farther
and with even less food than the burro,
but will not carry more than $50
pounds. The llama in some respects re-
sembles the camel, kneeling in camel
fashion to receive its load, and it will
not rise il more than 100 pounds are
placed on its back; moreover, the
weight must be evenly distributed over
its back and sides.

 There are several things that would materially aid the Hol- brool Public school. l believe it would not come a miss to name few of the mos t promi- nent ones and it may be that some one of the patrons of the school will make q move in the direction to assis in making the school better and getting better results from the school and bet ter results from the money ex- pended.
 Few of the patrons of the school pay little attention to the regularity of their childrens at tendance, and a great many fail to inquire into the conduct of their children at school, or how much their children are interest ed in the school room work.
 So far, very few of the citizens have visited the school. Failing to do so could not have correct knowledge of the working of the school, and we fear that some are re dy to condemn the actions of the teacher on hear-say.
 It will very much aid and please us to haye the school visited by the patrons, taxpay- CTS and others now and then or as frequently as possible.

THE COMING OF
GENERAL CRAFFEE

The Army and Navy journal says.
Major General Adna II. Chaffec re-
linquished command of the Division OF
the Philippines to Major General George
w Davis at Manila on October >, and
sailed for the United States the same
day on the transport Sumner. General
Chaffee was escorted to the steamer by
Il procession which included all the
general officers now in Manila, together
with the members of their staffs and
scores of other Army officers, Governor
Taft, the members of the Philippine
Commission and a great outpouring of
civilians. When the party reached the
wharf salute was fired from Fort
Santiago and the bands played "Auld
Lang Syne." There was an affecting
farewell scene between General Chaffee
and his old officers many of whom en-
braced him. General Chaffee's de-
parture from the islands was hastened
on account of Mrs. Chaffee, who has
been desperately i'll for many weeks,
and who was SO weak that she was
borne to the ship in a chair and taken
over the side in "A hammock, attached
to the hoists. The Sumner will make a
leisurely trip homeward. pausing first
at Nagasaki and then at Yokohama and
Honolulu.
