IN SCHOOL AND OUT.

Oh, isn't it harGlto go to school
When the sun Is b bright and the wind blows
cool?
When it's just the day for outdoor fun,
And the lovely morning has scarce begun?
And you long for fun,
But school mas begun.
Oh, isn't ii hard to sit and learn
When you're most too drowsy the leaves
TO turn?
When all thai you know slips out of your
mind,
And the teacher does not seem quite so
kinds?
(Though you do not mind,
For she's not unkind.)
And isn't it easy when school is out,
To hurry outdoors, and run, and shout?
When the whole wide world seems full of
glee,
As you fly your kite, or climb a tree?
oh, life is all glee
To a boy in a tree!
But would it, l wonder, seem quite as good
To hunt for nuts in the chestnut wood,
To row or to fish, or to play at ball.
If there wasn't any school at all? q
Isn't it knowing the tasks are done
That helps you enjoy the outdoorfun?
Think 1T over and see,
And perhaps you'll agree
That lessons We'll done
Add Zest to the fun

What Puzzled Him.

In the midst of a battle a former
marquis of Townsend saw a drummer
killed by a cannon ball, which scat
tered his brains in every direction.
A superior officer, observing the
marquis standing as though horror
struck, supposed that he was intim-
idated at the sight and addressed
him in a manner to cheer his spirits
"Oh," said the young marquis, with
calmness, II am not frightened. ]
am puzzled to make out how any
man with such a quantity Of brains
ever came to be here!"-Londos

The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1902-01-18

Both the superior and common pleas
courts adjourned yesterday morning al
IL o'clock out of respect for the la-
mented Judge w. IL. Jessup. Immedi-
ately after the adjournments, the
Lackawanna Bar association met in
special session to take action on Judge
Jessup's death.
Never before was there a more rep
resentative or larger attendance of the
bar, and besides the lawyers there were
many present prominent in business
and other circles.
The meeting was called to order by
James II. Torrey. president of the Bar
association. In opening the meeting,
Mr.. Torrey said:
The meeting will please come to ORDER The

whose presence among us has been Tor years at
once bencdcton and an inspiration, has been
instantancously translated to wider and more

him. For himself we cannot wish that the end
should have come otherwise than ii did. In the
ripcncss of his great powers, before physical or
mental decay had begun their inevitable work
upon him, the hour opportunc. Upon the
scene of his longest and most effective service in
his profession, and in the busom OF the family TO
whose welfare his long life had been consccrltcd
the place was fit At the close OF long life,
OF which every day had been II preparation for
death and every act not unworthy OF the last
moment, the suddenncss OF the end need cause
neither fear nor regret.
For ourselves there remains the necessity of
expressing in some way our heartfelt sorrow,
and Of recording the sentiments of admiration
and affection in which he was held by his profes.
sional brethren. Judge Jcssups achievements
will be rccitcd and his character dclincatcd by
those more capable and worthy than myself for
their expression. ! can only record my personal
tribute OF admiration, respect and affection for
one who has from Il period before the beginning
of my professional career been TO me the most
faithful OF friends, the most cheerful and ready
adviser, and almost paternal in his solicitude for
my success and welfare, and whose loss is to me

THIS Is DERBY DAY AT
DAVENPORT MILE TRACK

Unless the clouds let loose another
deluge there will be races at the Dav-
export mile track today. In order to
finish the program this week there
VIII be an extra number ON the pro-
gram today and every spectator will
get about four times his moneys
worth. If no more rain falls before
the starting judge calls the horses
the track will be III good condition.
Yesterday all day men were busy
working it into shape. The track
was hard before the rain and the wa
ter beat down upon it fiercely instead
of soaking into it. Consequently the
mud on the track was not deep and
it gave promise of working into shape
very readily. All sorts of sulkies and
carts were pressed into service and
trainers killed two birds with one
stone by jogging their horses and
working the track at the same time.
The track mud rakes were sent out
and all day long there was great ac-
tivity in the mud. The derby day
program will be given today with
some possible additions vet unan-
nounced.
