A Bashful Lovers Woes.

(From the Kings Mountain correspond
ent of the Cleveland Starr
One of the town dudes who is rather
bashful and is sparkling a young lady
a few miles from town. called few al
ternoons ago to spend the evening with
her. While there it commenced raining
and the girls father asked him to re-
main over night. The next morning
when he was invited to a seat at the
table he very reluctantly accepted. He
sat opposite the mirror and discovered
that he had forgotten to comb his hair
when he dropped his fork on the floor.
and as he stopped to pick it up, upset
his coffee. Matters went from bad to
worse until finally the young man quit
eating and put his hands under the
table. The loose end of the table Goth
was lying in his lap and when he
touched it he turned pale. He thought
it was his shirt, and that in his nervous
excitement while dressing he had for
gotten to put the garment inside his
trousers. That accounted for the smiles
and his embarrassment. There was DO
time to lose. He hurriedly stuffed the
supposed shirt inside his trousers. TWO
minutes later when the family arose
from the table there was a crash. The
dishes lay a broken mass on the floor.
The young man pulled three feet of the
table cloth out of his breeches and fed
through the door. He is now in hiding
and the girl is on the lookout for a less
bashful lover. who can tell his shirt
from a table cloth.

Washington in Lighter Vein.

A good story is told here of Tom
Bowen, former Senator from Colorado:
He was Judge OF one of the Colorado
districts. At one term of court. law
yers witnesses and litigants were out
for a night of it," In fact they were
still "out" when it came time to open
court next morning. Some one suggest
ed that they go to court and announce
to Judge Bowen that they were not ready
to resume. Accordingly the party march
ed into the courtroom, when one of the
lawyers mounted bench and said:
Judge, Your Honor, we are old bosses,
we are. and we don't propose to resume
business just yet awhile
Judge Bowen heard the lawyer through,
then said quietly:
ME- Sheriff, you will take these bosses

Senate would never accept the bill

After he had been talking what seemed

There was a dense silence. Not per

MORTAL SCHOOLS NOT NEW.
00AA1oA Years Age In Aoano.
France.

The normal school, now such firmly
established feature Of education in
the United States, IL not q product OF
this country, but Of France. Its orig.
inator was Jean Baptiste De La Sale,
who died in 1919, and was canonized in
May, 1900. La Sale was priest and
dignitary in the cathedral at Reims,
In France. He enjoyed the best advan-
tages for an education, but his heart
was moved when he saw the youth Of
his city growing up in ignorance and
vice. He sought to establish schools
for them, but found that there were
no capable teachers. To supply in
structors OF q better class he gathered
chosen band OF young men into his
own house, where he supported and
trained them at his own expense. The
work soon outgrew these accommoda-
tions, and about 1855, with the aid of
benevolent friends, he established q
normal school to be devoted to train
ing teachers for elementary schools.
A few years before Demia, a priest
of Lyons, performed similar service,
but soon after his death the enterprise
failed. La Sale gave up his canonry,
with its honors and liberal income, to
devote himself TO his school: BY his
self-sacrifice his school became very
successful and established = notable
system of education. but after his
death nothing mora WAS heard Of in
dependent normal schools in France
for nearly . century.

Mar,

An apprecistivecrowd OF nearly 5000
people Jaw . eommendable exhibition
in the Romita bull ring by . repre-
sentative cuadfilla OF Mexico City
cyclists one afternoon recently. The
affair was well carried out and ap-
plause WA generous during the after
noon, reports the Mexican Herald. The
i've bulls killed we1>, from the haci-
enda OF Ateneo, the property Of Senior
Barbabosa,
The features of the day were the
placing of the banderillos from . BIZ
cycle by Jos> Basurto, and - Don
Tancredo en- biciclo" by Alberto
Elgues: The former placed the sticks
in the neck OF the second bull with
skill and daring; the latter coolly sat
on his wheel, which was propped to
stand upright in the center Of the ring,
while the bull, luckily, paid no atten-
zion to him. He was applauded.
The first bull found Manuel G. San
chez prepared to do him to the death,
but Manuel's preparatory course had
obviously been incomplete. He failed,
even though using some strokes never
known before, to kill the bull, and the
beast was finally lassoed.
Jose Cosio braved the second bull.
and dispatched him neatly with an
estocada de pulmon. The other bulls
were tackled and killed i; ,lternats or
