Some consider that the disfguration is even
more serious than that under the Palisades

mountain lies in its curving contour. This may
easily be destroyed by tearing out section here

AR-TIS-STICK.

In a large boys school in the North a. fire
recently made excellent excuse for a new
building. When the boys returned from their
summer vacation they found a handsome Queen
Anne structure with modern cOnveniences and
decoration, in marked contrast to the old school
structure The walls were of artistic rough gray
plaster, with a dado of burlap four feet high;
and such was the masters pride in their i'm
maculate beauty that the fiat went forth that
not a nail or tack must their surface.
What was the disgust, then, of the head
master, on passing the open door of a mischief
loving and law defying pupils room to behold
a row of neckties hanging against the wall, ap-
parenty each on a separate tack.
With black frown and angry stride the master
entered the room and summoned the delinquent
to explain why he had so flagrantly disobeyed
and to remove the offending tacks instantly
With hanging head but twinkling eye the
rogue removed the ties. showing no tacks or
fastenings whatever the virgin surface of the
wall
What? How, How did you hang them
there?" thundered the amazed head master
Just this way, sir said the boy, demurely
as he pressed a gaudy Ascot on the rough gray
plaster. They are silk ties and they stick sir -
The master retired precipitately amid a roar
from a hidden audience, who fully appreciated
the success of their trap.
