Good Rules for All,

A cap worn at a rakish angle is no
sure sign of riotous disposition, but
some persons think 1t is. The better
way Is to take no chances, and If one
Is willing to regulate his cap-and 9TH

pro6tably heed these rules, which the
President of New England railroad
company has issued to his trainmen:
Don't wear your cap over your ear.
Don't wear your cap down over
your eyes.
Don't wear your cap on the back of
your head.
Don't wear your cap askew.
Wear it firm and square on the top
Of your head.
Keep your shoes polished like a mir

Wear linen collar, and keep It

With woodland patches garlanded,
From which the breezes gladly bore
Sly invitations to- the door.
Across the stills the bees soft hum
Was mingled with the muttered sum,
And from their covert In the vale
In plaintiVe pleading piped the quail.
With basket and with pail equipped,
Olear-eyed, tan-cheeked and berry-lipped,
Athwart the pastures, down the road,
They trudged to Earnings poor abode;
The pink sunbonnet, broad-brimmed
straw;
The bare brown feet that knew no law
OF fashions last; the bundled forms
That laughed aloud at cold and storms.
What tales the SCARED desks might re-

OF triumphs gained with book and SLATED
What lore the clapbOards loose possess
or feats at noontime and recess!

order to curry favor with all sides

be in course of construction.
After four special elections had been
held the community decided that the
building should be erected. SO far
so good, but then came the question
as to the location. There were so
many that the board of trustees became
dizzy from listening to arguments on
the question. They ended up by not
taking the advice of anyone, and Mon
day gave out the statement that the
high school would be built on the Nor
walk road
Certain persons as soon as the last
election had decided the proposition

But the trustees have already paid

cluded among its members all of the
local high officers of the Spanish-Amer-
lean war and is increasing rapidly in
membership. When seen yesterday,
Theodore l.. Syvertson, commander of
the camp, said:
while our camp is progressing
under very favorable circumstances,
the most of us are possessed with only
moderate means, and when misfortune
comes upon any member the others are
in duty bound to assist. And for these
reasons we realize the absolute neces-
sity of raising a relief fund for the
cases In need. There are many fam
lilies deserving of immediate attention,
which the pension department of the
United States government cannot
reach. 1t was under one of these un-
fortunate circumstances where death
and illness resulted in the camp pur-
chasing a burial plot in Rosedale ceme-
terry for the interment of the needy
veterans and their families. 1t is for
the purpose of raising funds for the
payment of this plot we are working
so hard to accomplish. The drama will
be one of the best ever given In this
