A Glasgow Cemetery.

The Metropolis cemetery, Glasgow,
as originally planned, contained al
most exactly twenty-four acres avail
able for burials, and 1t was suggested
that each division of one acre should
be named after 4 letter Of the Greek
alphabet, which contains twenty-four
characters. For various reasons this
idea has not been fully carried out.
but fifteen sections of the cemetery
have been 50 named from alpha to
omega, the monosyllable letters be-
tween these being omitted. The names
have not been applied In any partic-
ular sequence. but with the aid Of a
small map they are useful in locating
any particular spot in what is now one
Of the most densely filled graveyards
In the kingdom.

SO sweet, kind and loving % one and all
always smile on her face-and that
smile never left her, even in her death
agonies, when the Grim Reaper
had her in his vice-like grip. Poor
Connie died on her wedding day, and the
last look we had at her she was lying in
a beautiful white casket, in her bridal
robes, with happy, peaceful smile on
her lovely face. God needed her more
than we did, and He has called her Home.
To her grief-stricken relatives and the
betrothed one we tender our most heart

wise II. re-.

It need hardly be pointed out, says
the author Of Fifty Years In Fleet
Street." that to be elected member Of
parliament does not necessarily imply
intellectual superiority. Shortly after
the Burmese war young civilian,
home on leave, happened to mention
Burma.
"Ah. yes, Burma said an NJ. p.
with whom he was sitting at table. II
had a nephew who was in Burma, only
he used to call 1t Bermuda"
On another occasion, In the month Of
March. some one said to Mr.. Livesey:
This Is a cruel east wind
YES" was the would be witty re-
ply. II expect 1t will be Easter be-
fore It IL over
This was repeated by the author Of
the book quoted to respected member
Of parliament, who observed gravely:
II fancy he's right. l have known 1t
last till Easter and longer yet"

Men Past sixty In DANCER.

More than half of mankind over sixty years Of
age suffer from kidney and bladder disorders,
usually enlargement OF prostate gland. This is
both painful and dangerous, and Foley's Kidney
Cure should be taken at the first sign of danger,
as it corrects irregularities and has cured many
old men OF this disease. MIR. Rodney Burnett,
Rock Port, Mo-, writes: 81 suffered with en-
larged prostate gland and kidney trouble for

WILL CALL BOND ELECTION.

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO. May TO-
The Board of School Trustees, acting
in conjunction with III. w. Walker or
Redwood City, has decided TO call for
a bond election to secure better school
facilities. Walker has been author
lied to submit to the board state
ment showing the total OF assessed
values within the limit of the San
Bruno school district. Such state
ment is necessary before further ac-
ton may be taken, as the law limits
the amount of bonds that may be Is
sued to 5 per cent of the assessable
property within the district AS soon
as Walker submits his statement the
School Trustees will fix. the amount
of bonds to be issued and name also
the day upon which the bond election
will be held. The people must also
under provision Of law select the site
of the new school. The question Is
already exciting a great deal OF dis
cussion not only in reference to To-
cation but as to size.

regard, he said:
'Jellett claims to be an uncle of mine,
but this is not so, although he has
claimed relationship with my family.
The nearest he can come to being a
relative is a third or fourth cousin.
My father, Jose McIlwaine, was in the
employ of the Central American Gov

many bridges and buildings, and when

FUND OF PUBLIC
SCHOOLS IS Low
Retrenchment the Watch
word of Board of Edu-
cation in University Town
FINANCIAL PROBLEM
Special Meeting Called to
Consider Money Matters
That Affect Department

BERKELEY, May 10.-Retrenchmept
is necessary in the maintenance of the
public schools of Berkeley, according
to the Finance Committee of the Board
of Education, and so pressing are the
financial problems now up to the board
for solution that a special meeting will
be held next Saturday night to con-
slider them.
The directors assembled last night,
when it was reported to them by the
executive officers Of the department
that the demands upon the fund ap-
proved by the board are about $4,000
In excess Of the money available for
use. There is only about $500 in the
treasury, as against $4,000 available at
this time last year.
There are demands for new rooms,
new buildings and new teachers, and
there is money to be had for buildings,
but apparently none that can be used
for payment of teachers salaries. 1t
Is believed that no new teachers will
be appointed for the coming school
year, despite the demands from all
quarters for extra rooms and teachers.
The School Directors last night au-
thoriZed the purchase Of three lots ad
joining the Whittier School property,
upon which an addition to the school
will be built The lots will cost $3.50.
The owner originally asked $4,000. The
directors declare that real estate agents
and owners who expect to receive fancy
prices for land they think the School
Department has to have will be disap-
pointed, as no exorbitant prices will be
paid
