HITS AND MRS.

At this time, if the audience will re-
main seated, I wish to speak on the
subject of sleeping in a barn. Some
people have not as yet experienced the
pleasure of lying down with the other
stock and gracefully passing the night
away, and as I have passed through
seven nights of barn sleep I will recite
my own experience. At 1870 P. M. I
began going to bed, first taking off my
hat and placing it carefully out of the
reach of a tall, red-eyed rooster, which
also slept in the barn. I then removed
my coat and hung it up on the horn Of
a red OK. The OK had no particular
use for the horn during the night and
let the coat hang there, accasionlly
taking a mouthful of corduroy as a re-
fish to the hay. I undressed in a stall,
which had formerly been occupied by
a red COW which had gone out of the
milk business into the meat business.
The change did not agree with her
health, SO I am told. The stall was
simply furnished just as the COW left
it, but it seen ed cheerful enough to
break a leg in Dr. take poison. Ihung

which did not kick. The mule could
k ok a knot hole out of the roof, If an
noyed, and had a voice, which when
raised in song, made the barn shake
and ripped the siding off in places.
The siding may have been ripped off
with an ak, but I was told that the
m Lille did it. I had very little to do
after my pants began associating with
the mules harness, and I crawled into
a bed which had been made up with q
pitchfork in a stall which adjoined q
suite of.rooms occupied by four red
calves. These calves talked in their
sleep and annoyed me considerably
the first night. 1 gave them what ad-
vice I could with a harness tug, and
began to be quiet about the time the
roosters began to crow. When able.

BY w. c. SLATER, superintendent

There exists, nowadays, in our daily
papers and magazines, much discus
sion as regards the reformation in our
spelling system and, in fact, many
large cities have adopted and incor-
porated it into their course OF study.
AS yet, we have not adopted the ''new
spelling SYSTEM" but we place great
emphasis on spelling thruout the
grades. The teachers have developed
a strong spirit of emulation and it is
commendable. 1t is a fact that good
spoilers make good readers and good
readers make good students. Therefor
too much stress can not be laid on
reading and spelling in the lower
grades.
Miss Larson has the distinction OF
having all her grade perfect in spelling
except three for the past week. This
is a record worthy the emulation of all
! grades in school.
Rev. Samuel Hitchcock visited and
inspected all grades Monday of this
week. We welcome visitors at all
times. Come and see what your chill
dren are doing. We learned later
that Mr.. Hitchcock was thinking OF
m%atriculating his daughter in the first
grade.
MIR. j. j. Wamberg allowed the boys
to use his flag last Wednesday with
which they could celebrate their vic
tory.
The class in Physics will finish Dy.
namics this month and will then take
up heat. The boys say the subject Of
Heat is very appropriate as they
doubtless will be warmed up during
the subject.
The Chemistry class has just finished
Acids, Bases and Salts and is now
studying Valence.
The class in Economics has finished
the subject of ''The Distribution Of
Wealth. and is now inspecting the
Labor Problem" The course If
Political Economy includes economics
during the first semester and the eco.
nomi; evolution of the United State
during the second semester.
The Botany class has finished buds
and has taken up leaves. Hitherto
Botany has been completed in OH
semester, but under the present ar
rangements, it requires one year te
cover the field.
The seats for the high school assem-
oily room have finally been installed
and the student body reseated, The
digniied Seniors occupy a row all te
themselves, furnishing a good example
of department and application to the
lover classmen.
The music instruction is progressing
nicely in all departments and especial
ly d. the results show up in the high

trunk, get action in a large barn built
for noise and hay, sleep begins to
leave like hired girls at house clean
ing time. The rooster that led off
roasted on the ne I of my bedstead; he
turned in the fire alarm about 3 A. NJ.
It was answered down the line until
the mule woke up and tied a hard
knot in the noise. A red COW which
ate too much during the day and had
trouble with her lungs during the night
got up at the time and began working
at her trade, chewing hay. Alta o'clock
the boosters tuned up again and the
hired man began leading a wheelbar-
row up and down the barn accompan-
led by a pitchfork and lantern. The
lantern gave about as much light as a
yellow pumpkin, but the wheelbarrow
squeaked loud enough to make up the
deficiency. At S O'Clock I got up and
pretended to be rested. I was so stiff
that l had to get up on a barrel to put
my pants on. then drew on rubber
boots that felt like %stovepipes on Dec.
81. After attending to my toilet in
the horse trough and drying my face
and hands On q grain sack, I went in
to breakfast with an appetite that
would have put q feeble food mill out
of business. After the first night or
two in the barn nothing disturbed me
until the breakfast alarm had been
sounded and the hired man pressed me
to get up with q pitchfork. People
who have trouble sleeping at home on
box springs and costly hair mattresses
should try the hay cur in a barn.
Barn sleep seems to last longer than
real bedroom slumber, although there
may be more fuss and feathers about
it at the start.-Ed Pierce in the Graft

A very mild gentleman stood at the

q message which he wished to deliver
personally to the secretary of state,
and as he could not reach the depart.
ment in time, he went to the phone
and called up the secretary's DON
He vas told, as usual, to hold the line,
and very soon a voice said: "He]lo!"
The affair being of a personal ma
ture, he wished to assure himself as
to the person at the other end, and
asked: "Who is speaking?"
The reply was so faint and brief
that 1t left him still In doubt, and he
said: II don't catch it."
Once more the answer was so faint
that he said: Speak louder; / don't

There was q short pause, then he
