Unexpected Success.

There are times when an honest con-
fession OF ignorance results to ones
advantage. An examination of history
was going on in a high school. The
second row of the scholars looked su-
premely contented. They knew what
was coming next and were confident
of making brilliant recitations. The
professor gravely put the question:
"What became OF the Greeks who
were slain at ThermopyleT
The first boy hesitated and then haz-
arded, Burnt EN-"
Next" was the icy answer.
Buried EN-" came from the second
promptly. "oh, what an easy one"
Next"
Don't know" drawled the third boy
hopelessly.

two looked sheepish. Tit-Bits

The Old Surf Bath.

1t is not so many years ago when
surf bathing of very primitive kind
prevailed at the eastern end of Long
Island and, for aught l know, at 9TH
er points. Every Saturday morning or
afternoon, as the tide willed, through
out the summer big farm wagons trun-
died down to the beach and were
swung around abreast OF the line OF
breakers. Old flshhouses served the
purpose of modern bathing pavilions,
and the sea costumes were those OF
last years village street. A long rope
was drawn from under the seats and
hitched 10 the wheel. and then some
sturdy ex-whaler or life crew man In
red flannel shirt and old trousers tied
at the ankles slipped his waist through
the loop at the end of this primitive
life line and, wading out, kept 1t as
taut as circumstances permitted, while
the women and children hung 20 1t and
reveled and wallowed and shrieked,
rejoicing in their Saturday tub

better. each time the superior train
ing of the past year is evident in every
room OF the several schools. The work
of bringing order out of chaos has
been accomplished in the school work
of the city and now each year the or
ganization of the different rooms is
perfected within a brief time and the
teacher has before her pleasant
years work replete with good results
