To Be LET, Down Stairs.

The Smith Falls News, printed in
Manitoba, where the cold waves
come from, tells this homely tale OF
school life and vouches for it:
Some Of the boys when coming up
the stairs after recess had a habit OF
putting and painting as though they
were completely tired out. The
teacher-a lady, by the way, was an
noyed by this unnecessary and bois-
ferrous habit of the boys, and deter
mined to put stop to it. So she met
the boys as they came into the room
and thus admonished them: Sec
here, boys" she said, you are max
ing altogether too much noise, and
hereafter when you come into the
class room want you to leave your
puffs and pants down stairs.

Will be a Flag Station.

Since it has been practically de-
cided by the Motfat people to build
their road down White river through
Meeker, much sympathy has been ex-
pressed for the Steamboat people who
would be left out in the cold.
The latest report is that Il syndicate
has been formed in the east by Mr..
Hartman and others to build road
from the head of Clenr Greek canon,
where il will connect with the Colo
RADIO d Southern, via. of Steamboat
Springs to some point on the Union
Pacific in Wyoming. The object is
to get IL short line from Denver to
Salt Lake to compete with the Moffat
road.
If this new deal goes through and
the road is built as planned, the COM
pany will probably condescend to es-
tablish Il flag station at the little viii
lage on the Bear-trains stopping
there only when signaled.
