SHE HAD HER SAY.
A Girls Revolt Against nm Award OF
Vnledictory HonOrs.

Vnledictory HOnOrs.
II think the greatest shock l ever ex-
perienced and the biggest revolt against
my discipline occurred when l was
teaching in country high school," said
the schooltcacher. 1T was in school
where the valedictOry honor was award
cd by popular vote of the school, most
unjust method, by the way, but one to
which l was forced to succumb. The
girl who received the most votes was
by no means the best scholar, and the
pupil who ranked highest in scholar
ship was plainly indignant
Every boy and girl in the class was
obliged to write and read graduation
essay, and 1t was my task to look these
essays over and aid in the rewriting Of
them. The pupil who ranked the high
est in the class handed In her essay to
lie with some defiance, and in 1t |
found some reference to the valedictory
honor being rightly hers. I cut it out
and told her plainly that nothing Of
that sort should go into her paper. She
agreed to leave 1t out.
"The graduation exercises were pass
ing off splendidly when it came her
turn to read her essay. She had facile
way of writing. and I was proud Of
her, but when she reached what knew
was the conclusion she stepped forward
q little and proceeded to deliver two
pages of regulation valedlctory. She
bade farewell to the class, the school
and the teachers. and Of course we
could not stop her. 1t took all the sails
out of the chosen valedictorlan, who fol-
lowed. and after the exercises there
was much wailing and hot words. We
couldn't do thing, as the sinner was
now graduate of the school, and we
had no right to punish her, but 1t took
me all summer to get over the effect
of such stunning performance."-New
York Press.

THERE is a law in New Hampshire
which requires majority of the votes
cast to secure an election to any candi-
date-which means that he must have
more votes than the combined vote of all
his opponents. Under this law, it ap-
pears that Charles M. Floyd, the Repub-
lican candidate, lacks only ten votes to
insure his election-he having "plu-
rality' but not majority" of the votes
cast. 1t is probable that the governor
may be selected by the state legislature.
That is q mighty poor law. The man
who gets the most votes ought to get his
certificate of election. That's American.

THE attaches of the auditor generals
department at Harrisburg celebrated the
result of the recent election in Pennsyl-
vsnia by marching through the corridors
of the beautiful new state capitol and
singing parody on Everybody Works
hut Father" written by one of the clerks
the chorus of which runs as follows:
Every body works but Berry;
He runs about all day,
Smoking pipes OF scandal,
Made from Chester clay;
Telling wicked falsehoods.
Raking muck at will;
Everybody works in our state,
But "Brickyard Bill"

The Fish Net.

A curious custom was ut one time In
vogue mt Gloucester, Mass, which IL
lustrates The sacrelness which seems
to surround fish net and the prOtec-
ton which the law affords that class Of
property. Whenever it became neces-
sary to quarantine n house because Of
smallpox or other contagious disease
the quarantine was effected by string
ing nets about the building on the out
side, The penalty for disturbing a net
was so great that no one dared to med
die with the barrier.

WITH little extra effort the Repubii-

their candidate for State Senator, the in
dications being that Senator Halls ma
jority was cut down from the normal
$500, to less than 600. His brother, Harry
Alvin Hall, was elected president Judge
of the Elk Cameron Clinton district by
less than 200 majority. The district is
normally Democratic by about 1000.

The fur has been flying since the elec-
tion in Democratic and Lincoln fusion
circles. Each party charges the other
with treachery and political treason, and
both say It's the last mixup they will
ever enter into with each other. To an
outsider it looks as though 10th sides are
correct in the charges and that neither
did nor intended to play fair when the
unholy alliance was formed.

HEART OF LOUIS XIV.
How 1t Came to he buried In West
minister Abbey.


A remarkable story regarding the
heart of Louis XIV. and how it came
tt 1e buried In Westminster abbey was
tod in London Truth by Henry La-
bouchcrc, who said the story was told
to him by the late Colonel Harcourt
and was confirmed by his brother, the
late Sir William Harcourt. A Har-
court who lived during the first French
revolution had many connections In
France an1 invited many of the emil
grcs TO visit him. Among them was the
canon of st. Denis. On leaving the
canon expressed his thanks for the
kindly hospitality of his host and pro-
duced from his pocket something that
looked like piece of dried leather an
inch or so long, which he presented to
him. II was" he said, ''ln the cathe-
dral when the royal tombs were broken
open and the contents scattered to the
winds. This heart is that of Louis
XIV. 1t was kept In separate recep-
tacle, and | managed to get away with
it, The heart thus came into the pos
session of the Harcourt family and
was occasionally produced for the In
spectlon Of visitors as Il curiosity. The
late DR.. Buckland, dean Of Westmin-
ster, was on visit when it was
brought out for his inspection. He was
then very old and had some reputation
as man of science, and the scientific
spirit moved him to wet his finger and
rub 1t on the heart. He put the finger
TO his mouth after that, and before he
could be stopped he put the heart into
his mouth and swallowed 1t, whether
by accident or design will never be
known. Very shortly afterward he died
and was buried In Westminster abbey.
1t Is impossible he could ever have di-
gested the thing. Consequently the
heart of Louis NV. must now be re-
posing in Westminster abbey inclosed
in the body of an English dean.

With the melody of Christmas bells still
ringing In our ears, and the message of
Christmas-"Pcacc on earth. good will
to mcn"-still pulsins in our hearts We
enter on the New Year.
1.-THE king is dead. Long live the
Kingn' we, cry. AS We watch the old year
out. the new year In, and with eager
wees bid the bells
Ring out the old, ring in the new,
r., q out the false, ring in the true.
A new year is born into the world. and
we rejoice. A new year that may bring
us wonderful and beautiful things. We
see in the vision no heartaches or tears
or Neutrality-suspicious. the partings of loved
friends in death nor the partings that
come with the severance of souls on the
death OF love.
The new years awaiting US Is radiant
with the rose and pearl of the newborn
day, and the hush and expectancy Of the
dewy dawn is on our souls.
The old year may have brought us
disappointment, veSation and bitterness
/ of spirit or witnessed tho blighting OF
our dearest hopes; hut the old year is
dead, and the new-a wonderful new
year of shining possiblities-stands tip
toe upon our threshold. 1t has for us
the fascination of new love. If the
old love was fair and sweet and cnchant-
ing, might not the new be even more
radiant and enthralling? Or II, on the
other hand. the cup drained to the old
loveS"hut sparkled near the brlnl.' might
not the new love satisfy our heart-hun-
ger and restore our shattered ideals?
Gladly we welcome the new year, and
with hope stretch out our hands for what
at holds in store. We are become as
little children under the magic spell OF
the pealing midnight bells, and rs such
feel momentarilS within us the kingdom
OF heaven promised by the divine Naza-'
rene. We lift our eyes to tho star
