ELEVEN GRADUATES
OF Bailey School Received Their Di-

singing by a chorus of little boys and
girls from the kindergarten. "Ye
Merry Birds" sung by a quartette of
young ladies composed of Miss J.
Cummings, Miss Adele Murray, Miss

amusing sketch of the evening was
the singing of Eight Little Curly
Headed Coons" by eight youngsters
dressed in brilliant costumes When
the first verse was finished they turn
ed around and upon the back of each
little head was fastened false face.
The selection brought forth a we'll
merited round of applause.

composed article.

such an act that he is rude or care

tually lays bare the innermost secrets

who carries an umbrella with the
point backward and downward is un-
assertive. On the other hand, persons
who. in walking. carry their umbrel-

continually extended or pointing for

Explanation of Little Value.

An editor on daily paper has laid
himself open to unkind remarks by
trying to take up collection in his
office. Happening to want small
coin. he turned to a fellow-worker and
asked for a quarter.
Haven't got 1t. but here's a dollar
the man replied, as he tossed 1t over
The editor put the dollar in his pocket
and Immediately turned to a speciaI
writer at the next desk and said
Miss -, could you lend me q
quarter?" Then. seeing the man from
whom he had got the dollar grin, he
added. hastily: "Oh, never mind: J
just got dollar from Brown"
In analyzing his conduct he said
that Browns reply that he did rot
have a quarter was apparently the
only part of the transaction that made
any impression upon him. But he is
under suspicion in that office. and will
probably never be able to live it down
