But one little man outbid them all
He wasn't q Snowman. He wasn't
going to make present to anyone
of that tiger. He WASH t going to
start menegrie. Mr. Bailey was
puzzled. He wanted that tiger
himself, so he asked the little man
if he would sell it back for what
he paid for it. He wouldn't. Mr.
Bailey asked him why, if he wasn't
a Snowman or anything in that
line, he was so anxious to keep
that tiger.

"A rlan Who Can DO Things"

Some years ago, a group OF New
York 6nanciers interested in ac-
curing entrance for certain rail-
way system into Pittsburg were in
consultation over what seemed
some insurnountable legal obsta-
Gle in the way Of their desires. All
but Baer, who was present, had ex-
pressed their opinions that the
thing was impossible. Morgan
finally turned to him and asked:
"Mhat do you think about it?"
II believe it can be done, was the
terse reply: "in fact, | have already
prepared a brief OH the subject,
which is in my desk, and if you
will give me time to consult it and
consider the subject, | am certain |
can show you how it can be ac-
complished."
Mr.. Morgan looked at him a mo.
meni, and then, with hearty slap
on his back. exclaimed:
You're my man; want a man
who can do things"
The meeting was adjourned, and
WHEN reconvened Batr made good
his promise, after Which the thing
was accomplished.
Among those present at the first
meeting was President Harris, of
the Philadelphia & Reading Rail
way. Soon after these occurrences,
he was succeeded by Mr.. Baer.

Notice To Teachers,

In view of the short time given
in which to make preparation to
teach the subjects which haye re-
Gently been added to the list OF
branches to be taught in the pub
lie schools, first and second grade
certificates expiring with this year
may be extended one year on the
endorsement of the division super
intendent and the clerks OF the
district school boards for the diyis-
ion in which the holders OF such
certificates wish to teach. 1t being
necessary that the new branches
shall be taught in the schools next
year, preference will be shown IN
extending certificates to those
teachers who have sought to ac'
quaint themselves with these
branches by attending the County
Normal or some other school IN
which these subjects are taught.

Editor Writes Up His Wedding.

This is the first instance in sever
al years Of newspaper work that
the writer has dared to tell the
truth about wedding, for fear OF
getting licked, and does so now
with keen relish. The bridegroom
is an editor and is not a popular
and accomplished leader of society.
In fact, he doesn't know as much
about it as rabbit. His hair is
red. aud the freckles on his face
crowd each other for room. In the
dusk it is hard to distinguish him
from telephone pole. He has
meyer considered that the future
looked bright or promising. 1t al
ways kept him too busy paying his
board bills to have any dreams
about future greatness. He is just
a common sort of fellow and claims
distinction only in that he is a
Kansan from the soles OF his clnm-
sy feet to the top of bis head. The
bride is the Youngest daughter OF
| Mr. and Mrs N J White and was
born and reared in the Solomon
valley. Judging from the job she
has taken on her hands, she is a
young lady of more than ordinary
