not seem to sc it through his head.

Where SLANG Was Needed.

1t was language lesson, and the
teacher had considerable trouble in
making the boys understand the use
of the word acceptance" He tried
several words, calling upon his bright
boys, but their explanations always
left feeling of uncertainty among
other members of the class.
II was quite clear that this word
does not form a part of an ordinary
boys vocabulary, and to have it under
stood it must be related to word
which does belong there. Here was
the psychological moment to use slang.
Boys" said the teacher, what is
the general acceptance of twenty

"Skidoo!' was the prompt answer
by the whole class. The meaning or
the word became clear at once.

ADVICE FROM FIRE CHIEF.
Best Things to Do When Caught in

Chief Crocker, of the New York

Keep cool; no matter how hot

a cool, calm equilibrium, and you'll
come out all right.
Send in the alarm Immediately;
do not take It for granted that some

firemen arrive. Very few fires, II dis
covered at the outset are beyond the
control of the people on the premises,

pened: A young man of good posi-

posed marriage. The man was dis
tasteful to the young woman but she
had nothing else offering. and finally
accepted him. There was no love in
the match, indeed, there was actual
distaste and. aversion on one side.
There is good deal of discussion
as to the woman's action. Some peo-
pie say she sold herself. But others
are more charitable and say she did
exactly what hundreds of women do.
1t is the misfortune OF women that
they must take what is offered them;
