Man and the Anchor,

Once upon a time a newly married
man said that he was firmly anchored
In the harbor of his home. He gave up
his clubs and his b~achelorhood friends,
preferring the company of his mate,
After a short time he inadvertently
carried a letter in his pocket for three
days after he should have mailed it.
His wife discovered his delinquency,
and he received the best scolding that
he had ever had and heard more things
about himself than he had thought pos
storm in his favorite club.
Moral.--A heavy blow will often cause
the anchor to drag.-New York Herald.

HUMOR OF THE HOUR
rhe Goat That Got Papa.s Fla,

From Rockaway comes a sad tale In.
volving a pearl gray hat, a billy goat,
a small boy, a fond papa and the sea.
The fond papa owned the pearl gray
hat, and it really was a thing of beau.
ty. One day he was ~promenading the
beach with his little son, and the wind
cruelty swept the hat into the ocean.
Two days later the small boy saw a
young man driving a miniature laun-
dry wagon drawn by a sturdy billy goat.
On the goats head was a pearl gray
hat, a tritle dilapidated, with holes
pierced to admit the passage of the
goats horns. The small boy recognized
that hat.
Hold on, there!" he shouted. s'That
goats got my papa's hat"
The driver stopped, and the fond pa
pa came up to see what was the mat
ter.
Papa, the goats wearing our hat"
sobbed the small boy.
Il fished the hat out of the surf" ex-
planned the driver, who was inclined to
dispute possession. Il claim it's mine
or the goats" ~
"Well," said the fond papa as he
gazed ruefully at his lost headgear,
1--WE bought a new hat, but the goat
can have that one. The devil himself
wouldn't take it, and he wears horns,
too, I've heard."-New York Press.

The establishment of a juvenile court
without provision for the necessary pro-
baton officers would be but little improve
ment upon the present system. The presd-
Ing Judge can hope to accomplish but little
unless he is enabled, through probat ton off,
GERS. to follow the children into their homes
and see that the conditions of proba ton are
observed and that everything possible ia
done by influence exerted both on the chill
dren ana their surroundings to prevent the
necessity or return to the court and the
possible commitment to some penal or cor
rectional institution. It is earnestly rec
commended. therefore, that in connection
with the establishment of juvenile court
provision should be made for sufficient
corps OF probation officers"

Mr.. Morton would not accept this and

SALARY OF sUPT. OF INSTRUCTION.
House Bill, to amend section 1927 OF
The Code, to prescribe increase the sal
airy of the superintendent of Public In
struction from 81 500 to $4,000.
Mr.. Murphey spoke for the BILL calling
attention to the fact that the duties of
the Superintendent had been largely in
creased, and that several superintendent
OF schools and presidents of colleges I'M
der his supervision received $4,000 and
more. The bill did not apply to the
present Superintendent, but would go into
effect at the close of the present term.
MIR. Carr spoke of the great import
ance of the position, how it had emerged
in the last few years from obscurity into
prominence. The inuence of the super
intendent was perhaps greater than that
even of the Governor
II was fact that the late General
Toon was poorer in this worlds goods
at his death than ne had been before
he entered into the office. The present
incumbent had accepted the position at
personal sacrifice of about 81 600 d
year.
Mr.. Smith sent forward an amendment
to make the salary $1,000 instead of ST.
500
He said he believed his people would
be disappointed if he were to vote for
this bill.
Mr.. Watts said he did not think that in
the last days of this session we should
be raising the salaries of State officers
If we were not careful, our appropriations
would exceed our revenue again.
Mr.. Owen said he did not think this
the proper time to increase salaries,
when we were compelled to issue bonds
on account of deficit.
Mr.. Britain opposed the bill.
MIR. Gay spoke for it, He said the
county superintendent had recommended
it. The services of the superintendent
were we'll worth more. Moreover, condi-
items were such that poor man, no
matter how capable he might be, could
accept the position. 1t should be one OF
such dignity that all the best school men
of North .rolina would aspire to it. We
paid sixteen judges $4,000 apiece. al
