Tho Cultivation of Fruits.

Decide upon what is required in the
garden and secure the seeds early. Be-
ginners on farm should set out fruit
trees as soon as it can be done. 1t is
in the cultivation of fruits and vegeta-

family delight, and when they become
interested in such they will take more
interest in general farming. 1t is the
liked. When the farm work becomes
more varied it is then less monotonous.

MUSIC IN THE PANTRY.

There is music in the pantry,
The boys have just come in,
And mothers pies are suffering
Was ever such din?
There is music in the pantry,
The old tin boiler squeaks,
The doughnuts go way down below,
The cupboard groans and creaks.
There is music in the pantry,
For Ned and Tom and Sam,
Are jostling one another
While stealing mothers jam.
There is music in the pantry,
And mothers heard the noise
Good gracious what racket!
All, listen to those boys!
There is music in the pantry,
IT'S sounding to the skies;
Mothers used the rawhide-
But she hasn't saved the pies!

Lift Only For Going Up.

Gently returned from London, says

He was stopping at family hotel
that had wheezy elevator, or lift
as the English call it. His room was
on the third floor, and lie used the
lift several times every day. After
he had been stopping at the bDtel
about four days he discovered, one
morning, neatly written sign posted
up alongside of the elevator shaft on
his floor. The sign read:
"Guests will please walk down stairs,
as the lift is only used for ascend

Replacing Doors With Portieres.

1t is a mistake, according to an
artist, to discard doors too generally
in a suite of apartments, replacing
them with portieres. Retain some of
them, and, where it seems possible,
hang a picture on one, or decorate it
with q brass ornament or two, set
above. In using the portieres, too,
do not have them all hanging in
straight lines; introduce one or two
soft silk hangings that may be looped
back, to break the monotony.

this one the boX-plait effect is only in

each side, just in front Of the arm
hole. There's a two-inch box plait
down the centre front, making q box
plait within box plait. Five big
pearl bullet buttons are down the
front.
What appears to be a quadruple box
plait takes up the whole front of q
pastel rose cloth shirt-waist. In real.
ity it is composed of four three quar-
ter-inch tucks at each side, under all
of which are set black satin revers,
the broad end being down-turned and
ending at yoke depth. Two tiny
white pearl buttons are at the ends,

stitching. Three tucks are on the
sleeve tops; these aye let out at the
elbows, then brought in again on the

It is Believed a Post Graduate Course
Would Pay.
A New Teacher Could be Added to
Have Charge Of the Extra
Grade.
BOARD OF EDUCATION TO ACT

There is already one post graduate
pupil in the local High School and
several more have expressed their in
tention of taking such course provid-
ing the board approves.
There has never been such course
arranged in the local public schools
and consequently the matter had new
er come before the board bat this year
it will have to take some action. Prof.
Norvell, Of the High School, said this
morning that he thought il the course
was put in that new teacher should
be added and tuition charged as the
school was now full and the four
teachers in the High school depart
ment had as much ss tn ey could at
tend to without adding more in the
way Of post graduate pupils.
II has been suggested that q new
teacher be employed and placed in the
High School to teach those studies the
post graduate pupils desire to review
and to charge tuition to those tax
ing the course. In this way neat
little revenue can be derived, not at
first probably, but after the course
has become popular and the class fills
mp to such a size that the tuition will
exceed the teachers salary. The mat
ter will probably be placed before the
board at the next meeting as the pupil
now wanting to take the course is
awaiting some action, as it is not
known whether he can take the course
or not, no disposition having ever been
made for such cases.

CounciImen Withdrew the Injunction

The People Demanded the Case Be
Dropped Councilman Voolfolk
Talks of Fighting it Alone.
WILL INVESTIGATE THE COST


The injunction suit brought Last
week by Councilmen Hummel, Fowler
and Voolfolk against the mayor and
board Of aldermen to test the validity
Of the transfer of Paducah into the
second class has in response to public
demand been withdrawn. Attorneys
Lightfoot and Yonts stated this morn.
ing that they had instruction to with
draw it today, and the circuit court
records show it was dismissed without
prejudice.
1t was generally believed that the
plaintiffs would have to take this ac-
tion, and the fact that they have done
so indicates that they saw that popu.
lar feeling would not countensnoe a
further prosecution Of the case, and
deemed it wise to withdraw it.
1t seems from the statements made
by some Of the members of the council
that the folly Of prosecuting such q
suit was so obvious that they were all
sorry they ever thought Of bringing
1t. Had the matter been made public
in time, and brought before the mu-
nicipsl boards before any action was
taken, there would never have cen
such suit, as public opinion would
have intervened in time to prevent,
just as ii asserted itself in time to
force a withdrawal II is likely that
all the counc linen and aldermen now
see how little there was to be gained
by such a suit and regret bringing it.
The victory is one for the people
and the press. A fearless fight has
boen waged since the day the suit was
filed, when the Sun exposed the
scheme, and told what 1t was intend
ed to accomplish by it.
1t is not impossible, however, that
the suit will yet be prosecuted IN the
courts with one of the councilmen for
plaintiff.
Councilman Ed woolfolk, ,one of the
trinity who brought the suit went to
Dawson ON business this morning and
at the depot stated that the plaintiffs
had decided to withdra W the suit but
that the suit would probably be filed
sg ain and prosecuted individually.
"The suit will this morning be
withdrawn from the circuit clerk s
office, in pursuance to the decision ar
rived at by the plaintiffs after a con-
ference yesterday" Councilman Wool
folk stated. 1.-THE council failed to
ratify the action Of the committee and
therefore the suit can not be prosecut-
ed officially but it is probable that the
action will be carried through individ-
ually, not by the three plaintiffs but
by myself. / will consult attorneys
about the probable cost Of the action
and II the expense is not too greet
will continue the suit individually.
The question is an important one and
