the Board of Supervisors, spoke as fol-
lows of the matter in dispute:
Il don't care what system they adopt
SO long as the men are paid. Here are
great many men living from hand
to mouth. some getting $40, some $40,
some SIS, according to the days they
worked.
They have not got any pay for more
than a month. The Chinese poimen
threaten to stop their credit. Their
pay is held back owing to some techni-
cal difference between the Treasurer
and the Supervisors, the Treasurer
claiming that each of 400 or 500 men,
on the roads and garbage work, should
get an individual warrant.
How is he going to know he is Civ
ing the warrant to the right man, I'M
less 1 stand by him to identify every
man, thus OBTAINING me from my duties
for hours while the warrants are being
issued?
That system was tried some time
ago when the warrants We're discount
ed, and the banks refused to cash the
warrants until the men We're identified.
The result was that / had to stand by
the cashiers wicket all the time the
warrants We're being cashed.

Sixty years ago the American revo'

enough to stir the young Yankee spirit
in a way unknown to the modern boy.
In that day men were still alive who

school-book anecdotes of the next
mornings lesson. The old-fashioned
Yankee boy was much aware that once
we beat the British. Such an old
fashioned boy-now a great--grandfa-

morous school days of 1910.
His class was reading the history OF
the close of the revolution. The days

following the surrender of Lord Corn
wallis to General Washington.
When the first boy rose to read, the
other boys were observed to be snick
ering behind their books. But the
reader, with solemn mien, proceeded
invariably rendering the name of the
British commander, which occurred
frequently in the paragraph, as "Cob
wallis"
"Why, jesse" interrupted the puz
zled teacher, finally, why do you keel

see nothing interesting in the vacant
space on which her glance was focused,
but then Lathrop was a freshman and
had not known.
Now watch him." he cried as the
signal for the second half was given.
AS if Polly would do anything else!
Cheer after cheer went up from the
grandstand as one good play after an
other took place on the gridiron, but
Polly saw only one of the two elevens,
though she cheered mechanically with
the others.
How proud she was that Huntington
had not gone to the old dances, but
had kept in good trim. Anyway, she
believed the dances were not so jolly
as they had been formerly-she had
not enjoyed them very much.

Polly flashed him a look Of gratitude
as the crowd left the little room.
"NIr. Lathrop, you mustn't miss tn

man stood politely impatient.

THE TESTING OF FATHER.

When faint the city whistles blow.
And milk carts rumble to and fro;
When the glad sunbeams newly fling
Abroad their promises of a spring,
Then father to the garden goes
And rakes and digs and plants and hoes;
When he has placed beneath the loan
About his glad suburban home
Lettuce and beans and trailing vine.
And proudly says: "All this is mine,'
And Joyous hears the breakfast bell,
And feels his bosom proudly swell,
What sounds portentious on the breeze
Cause his slow ;.urdling blood to freeze
There. cackling singly or together.
With feet steel shod and lungs of leather,
The neighbors' soul-destroying hens
Have flown their fragile makeshift pens.
The big white rooster proudly leads!
The air is full of garden seeds
The old hen lifts with rapid scoops
Earth, stumps sod, gravel, and the roots
That pa has planted with such care
And left to grow in comfort there.
IT'S nothing but Astounding grace
That holdeth father in his place.
Instead Of clubbing every hen
He plants the garden once again.
And ma says, with expression sage
eyer fathers mellerin' with age"

Huntington was silent. Polly was in

engagement because he must adhere
TO the rules laid down for men in
training for the big game. His college
team counted him among their strong
est players; he could not go back on
them. Surely, Polly must realize this.

interrupted him.

could look around. she heard the big
