cheaper TO use our high grade Lee Coal, that

ALI Had Excuses.

The drudgery of teaching in public
schools is sometimes lcssened for the
teacher by sense of humor that comes
within his or her experience. One Of
those things is the efforts of some par
ents to write excuses for the absence
Of their children.
A teacher, who has g large colleo-
tion Of these EXCUSES has consent
ed to have some Of them appear for
the pleasure of our readers:
"Kind maddum--Excooze jaims for
not beiu there on yistiday. We have
a petit goat and it ct up his (jaimses)
pants end his pc could not git him no
others ontil last aite. So pleze ex-
Goose. =
p. s.1Fe will keep the cote tyed up
hercafter. So pleze excoose."
Hardly had ''jaims" been "excooz-
ed" when. another absentee Of the day
before appeared With note reading
as follows:
RESPECTED Miss-Please to excuse
Willy for absentz. He fell down
states jess fore school time, and we
feared his internal insides was hurt
at frst, but we find they amt, for the
doctor says that no part Of his anatto-
my was hurt but the brewing of his
oppydermis Of the outer hide, and
also his hip hurt some. But he just
escaped fatal death. So kindly ex-
cuse. his Mother"
A little girl now brought the teach
er note that read as follows: "Dear
Miss W.-The non-appearance Of
Evelins at school yesterday was an
unavoidable necessity, occasioned by
indisposition, superinduced, I fear
me, by my own lack of forethought in
permitting her to partake of innutri
tious and indigestible concomitants
beyond her capacity to assimilate.
Kindly pardon an oveffond mothers 8
lack Of judgment and excuse my
daughter S absence, for which I am,
in measure, if not altogether, re-
sponsible, for should have made my
will power superior to hers, and thus
saved her from the mastication of in
furious concomitants. L beg to assure
you that it will never occur again"
A boy, who had been absent for
two days, came to school the third
day, bringing the following brief but
comprehensive excuse:
"Teacher-Sam has been playing
hockey. Please lick

Used the Wrong Decoy.

That Camden is az wide awake as
the rest Of the world is shown by an
incident which occurred few days
ago in that town. The woman of the
house was called to the door and found
a man there, with whom she held the
following conversation:
Madam, I have called for the suit
of clothes to be pressed and brushed" !"
"What suit?"
"Your husbands Sunday suit. He
called at the shop going down this
morning"
"Aud he said to let you have it?"
eyes, ma am.
"Did he appear in good health and
spiri,s?' >e
why, certainly"
And look and act naturally"
"Of course, but why do you ask?"
Because my husband has been
dead for IL years and I had some GU
riosity on the subject"
Perhaps I've made mistake"
perhaps you have. The man you
saw going out of here this morning is
my brother. Good morning.
And the man left.

BARLEY campteIrs Letter .-;cad.

Years ago when BARLEY Camp
bell was regularly attached TO Hoo
ley's thcatcr as the play writer for
the stock company of that Chicago
house, the clever but i'll fated au-
thor got out letter head that few
people ever saw, but that created no
little amusement among Mr.. Camp
bells friends. In the left hand up
per corner of the paper was bust
of Shakespeare surmounting a num-
Der of his plays. In the right hand
corner was corresponding bust of
Mr.. Campbell surmounting q num-
Der of his plays, and the startling
legend uniting the two designs was
this, "a Friendly Rivalry" Mr.
Campbell did not ct first see any
reason for critical comment at his
expense, but at the persuasion of q
friend he reluctantly withdrew the
letter head from circulation and
prepared one in its stead that quiet
ly ignored Mr.. Shakespeare.
