IT transpires that the half million of
money which the state received from the
government and transferred by the ad-
ministration to the general fund to pre-
vent the levy of a state tax which has
been heralded about as an evidence of
economy, was money that belonged to
the school funds of the state and hence
had no business to be diverted to help
out the expenses of state government.
The state has been paying 7per cent.
interest for nearly thirty years to the
school fund on large sum borrowed to
defray war expenses. Now instead of
applying portion of that received from
the government to repaying this loan
and stopping interest at high rates,
which law passed recently expressly
says shall be done, the administration
throws it into the general fund to make
a showof economy There is little to
commend in this kind of fnanciering.

night of December 18th. Charles Hor-
WITT, known throughout the English
speaking world as the author of BE
cause" and Always" has supplied both
the libretta and the lyrics for "A Run

come famous as a writer of musical
comedies. The comedy is built up
around rich but illiterate Irish widow
who reads an account of the Duke of
Manchester's marriage to Miss thinner
man of Cincinnati. The widow con-
ceives the idea OF marrying duke her
self and feels certain that the countless
dollars at her command will bring the
desired end, and she merely falls into
the hands of ar impecunious young
travelling man and scheming matri-
monial agent vino palm off doctor on

THE presidents outspoken denuncia-

Slips of NOVeIistS.

Andrew Lang in Longman's recalled
certain slips of the novelists. They,
too, have their loose ends:
"a skilled person might make a pleas
ant essay on what we may call the
dropped threads of novelists Thus
Pips vision Of Miss Havisham hanging
to beam in the deserted brewery has
always puzzled me. It seems to have
been meant to lead to something other
than what occurs. In Mr.. Marion
Crawford's 'Taquisara' much turns on
an entranced medium who could give
two strokes in the hole and beating
to Mrs. Piper. We expect her successes
to be normally explained, because
stress is laid on her one eyed servant,
whose one eye (blue) marks her as the
sister of her mistress Boslo observes
this; the poisoner, Matilda, does not.
Apparently something was to hang on
that fact. II so, the thread was drop
