the New Years bells. It was nearing the
hour of midnight when the light grew
dim, and we discovered that the oil was

Palntlnn the schoolhouse.

The late Rev. Mr.. Wakefield was
an efficient member Of the prudential
school committee of the town of Marl-
boro Mass. At an annual town meet
ing the appropriations for the coming
year were the cause of some heated
discussions.
Mr. Wakefield advocated an appro-
priation for painting one of the
schoolhouses in the section near his
residence. The watchdog of the town
treasury strenuously objected that the
town could not afford it, and others
concurred in that view.
This opposition aroused Mr.. Wake
field. and he exclaimed: Mr. Mod
orator, we can paint that building for
less money than it costs my friend
each year to paint his nose"
II was a home thrust; the appropri-
alton went through with a shout, and
in due time the schoolhouse was
painted red.
