Attendance Falling OFF.

Considering the fact that the attend
ance of our school has been gradually
diminishing during the term of Ar.
SwartZelrs administration, continued
Mr. Smith, 1T appears very plain that
the Board of Education should take i'm
mediate action in adjusting the condi-
tions now existing. and to avoid, If pos
sible, further trouble between the stu
dents and the faculty of the school that
would be sure to arise on the opening
of the school term next September"
When asked IL mass meeting of East
Wa shington citizens would be held to
take further action In the case, Mr.
Smith said: THE association has ad.
journed for the summer but the execu-
tive committee will hold a special meet
ing early next week.
1T is doubtful whether any further
action will be taken in this case until
after such time as the Board of Educa-
ton has made some move in investfgat-
ing the cause Of the trouble

ELEPHANT NOT FAVORED
Park Commissioners D, Not Support Pro-
pcSei Purchase.

A proposition to purchase another ele-
phant for the children is not favored by
the park commissioners. The chairman
OF the board has announced that Baby
Roger, purchased by the school children
was sold because he manifested a de-
cided inclination TO do mischief and the
commissioners did not care TO have the
city called on to pay damages perpetrated
by an enraged elephant.
Someone has started a movement for
another elephant but the commissioners
believe that when the facts arc under
stood the public will support them in their
decision not TO take the chances of trouble
with an unruly beast.

APPLE is ROYAL FRUIT.
Kings Before Edward VII Were Fond
of HeaIthful Fruit

The earnest student of sociology
likes to think of Edward VII OF Eng
land, defender of the faith, enjoying
the Colorado seedless apples, welcom-
ing the continuance of the American
invasion, exclaiming, not delighted"
but "delicious." King Alfred with
his cakes, King John with his stewed
pears and new cider, King Edward
biting into the apple-all are scenes
for the brilliant art of our friend the
historical painter, says the Boston
Herald. Let us hope that Edward
will persevere, that he will eat one or
two apples at breakfast; or If they
do not go with tradition marmalade
and bacon and eggs, just after he
is put to bed. A healthful fruit, in
spite of the warnings of sundry an
cient leeches and philosophers. Kings
before Edward knew the value of it,
and even tavern-haunting Prince Hal
used to stewed prunes, put a dish or
applejohns before Sir Jack Falstaff in
the mad days of Poins and Pistol
There were good apples in the pc.
riod of Shakespeare, and in that OF
Gerard, master in Chirurgerle."
Their names have come down to us:
Pomewater Bakers Ditch, Queening,
Pearmain (summer or winter, Cod
ling, Carraway, Leather Coat, Lord
ling, Pippin, Bitter-Sweet-all, of
course, with seeds. The descendants
of these apples may still be used in
divination, though on all Halloween,
it makes no difference whether the
apple eaten by candlelight, while the
maiden combing her hair looks il the
glass, has seeds or not; but the seed

him necessarily, his speech became al

Most of all he missed his cigars, for
his physician at once cut off all smok-

LET CABBY DOWN EASY.
Denified EngIishman's Vocabulary
Evidently Was Limited.

while passing along Regent street,
in London, one day not long since,
said a well-known New Yorker Il saw
a cabhorse knock down a dignitied,
well-dressed man as he attempted to
cross the crowded thoroughfare. The
horse was moving slowly at the time,
and the man was more Jared than
hurt. But when he regained his feet
he was simply boiling over with rage.
He dashed madly after his silk hat,
which was in imminent danger of be-
ing crushed by the wheels of han
SON. and. then rushed in another di-
rection for his cane. The street was
jammed, and the driver had not been
able to move more than a few feet
from the spot where he had run down
the foot passenger.
After securing his hat and cane the
man jumped on the sidewalk, glared
up at the driver, and tried to speak,
but was actually rendered temporarily
inarticulate by his anger. | fingered
to see the finish of the incident, as
expected, as soon as his feelings had
subsidized sufficiently to permit him to
speak, to hear an eruption of abuse,
thickly intermingled with strong
words, such as would be likely to come
from the average American placed I'M
der similar circumstances.
Finally, fairly quivering with rage,
and all the while shaking both fists at
the cabby, he succeeded in uttering
the single word:
"Idiot!'
