Rang the Bell fer Teacher

Rang Lne beI IV iSdCHST
Say, mister, ken you give me job
as bell boy?"
A little tot, so small that his head
| hardly came UP to the top of the desk,
propounded the question at the Alex
andria yesterday. His hair was long,
like that of college football hero, and
in point of dustinesS it resembled that
same hero just out scrimmage. He
wore a sweater, much the worse for
hard wear, and he was just about big
enough to be learning his A, B. C's in
school.
Judge A. w. Hamilton, was standing
by the desk and he looked at the lit
tie fellow.
"Did you ever work anywhere as a
bell boy?" he questioned with a quiz
zical smile on his face.
"Me?'' said the boy, with an inno-
cent stare and a. world of surprise in
his voice. "Why, I used to ring the
bell at school for teacher every day"
The judge gave him some money and
told him to buy himself a Christmas
present, and the clerk told him he was
j sorry there was no vacant place. :.
