IMPROVED OPPORTUNITY.

While the Bride Went Back

A good story Is told OF a domestic In an
East END family who had been long
time in her situation, and who gave no
tice" because she was going TO be mar
ried, relates the Duluth Hews-Trlbune.
The girl who was engaged TO take her
place sent word to her mistress 10 be
that she would not be able TO begin her
duties for at least "A fortnight after the
date on which her predecessor was 10 be
married. The maid was asked by her
mistress whether she would agree TO
postpone the date of the wedding, but she
declined to do SO, bearing In mind the old
adage: Change the date, change the
fate" She said. however, that she didn't
mind getting married and coming back
for time, until the other girl could as
sumo her duties. and this was finally
agreed upon, as the young man offered
no objection. Half an hour after the
ceremony the girl was performing her
customary duties, and her mistress said
10 her, smiling:
And suppose your husband has gone
back to his work. too. Matilda?"
'Oh, no, indeed, ma am, " replied the
girl. He bane gone on his honeymoon" >"

Where are the Fish.

Within the past few years thousands
OF small trout have been put in the
South Fork of the Clinch, by the u. s.
Fish Commission in the neighborhood
OF Mrs. Kate Peery's residence. Mr..
G. A. Martin says that they have all
disappeared. They had not grown
large enough TO be caught, and the
only reasonable supposition is that
that they were too small or too weak

SWANSON ON THE
SCHOOL BOOKS
Defines His Position AS to Single
and Double List-Single List
More Economical.


To THE DEMOCRATIC VOTERS OF VIRGINIA:
L have received many inquiries ask
ing me to state my position upon the
school book question, should 1 be elect
ed Governor OF Virginia and thus be.
come member Of the State Board of
Education, which has control of this
matter
desire TO state to the voters OF
Virginia that my experience, both as a
pupil and as teacher in the public
schools OF the state, has convinced me
that, as an original proposition, the
single list is preferable. The adoption
OF such a list gives uniformity In the
text books throughout the state, and
hence, when pupils go from one district
to another, or from one county or city
10 another, they are not forced 10 the
necessity OF purchasing new books, but
can always use those in their posses
sion.
Again, the single list will result in
saving TO the people OF Virginia a vast
sum Of money in the purchase ofbooks.
as 1t Is conceded that books under the
single list can be furnished much
cheaper.
These considerations speak strongly
In behalf Of single list. But, a sudden
adoption OF single list under condi-
lions now existing In Virginia would
discontinue the use Of large number
OF books at present used and paid for
by the people. do not favor sudden
and RADICAL changes Of books, with the
inconvenience, losses and aRnoyances
incident thereto.
would favor, as a member OF the
State Board OF Education, reaching n
single list as soon rs it can be done
without entailing such loss, inconven.
ience and annoyance.
desire further to say that #
should be elected Governor and be-
come member OF the State Board OF
Education, would assume rs dnties
absolutely free and untrammelled and
