the most pugnacious correspondent on
newspaper row, fitting fearlessly at ev-
cry perceptible abuse and making enc
mics right and left in the pursuit Of
his calling.
When he was appointed president Of
the school board he supposed that 1t
was to be place of more or less rou-
tine and that for the moderate allow
ance of $500 a year he was to preside
over the meetings of the board with
dignity, and enunciate his findings
with solemnity. He hadn't been there
fortnight, however, before he was en-
gagged in a scrap and he has been in
some sort of a scrimmage ever since.
First he tackled the school histories.
He happened to find an incorrect his
| torical allusion in one of them and he
| proceeded to examine them all. He dis
covered that they were full of mistakes
and he ordered them all out Of the
schools until the mistakes could be cor
rected. OF course that angered the
writer's and publishers, but he didn't
mind. He won his point. Then he
learned that the contractors for coal
were furnishing the school buildings
with an inferior article at an exorbi-
tant price and that they were selling
badly underweight- He stopped that
and made every coal dealer his NOR
tai enemy in consequence. A little la
ter he fell afoul of personal scandal

that startled the community and re-

POOR Cream Closed Factory.

Poor cream caused the closing of q
new creamery in Minnesota recently.
The buildings had been erected and
equipped at considerable expense and
everything was first-class. A large
supply of cream was received, but the
cream itself was very poor. The
farmers said they had too much work
to do To bring their cream in more
than once week, and the consequence
was that the cream received was of ex-
ceptionally poor quality. The butter
made was of course cOrrespondingly
poor and the money receivee for 1t was
not sufficient to pay expenses and yield
profit. Hence the creamery shus
down. 1t was found to be impossible
to build up valuable reputation on
