recommend that the board authorize
the following improvements and re-
pairs:
SchoolNo. 1-Painting entire out
side with two coats of paint; adding
a gas burner in fire room for the pur-
pose of heating water; repairing and
babbitting motor.
School No. 2-Repairing of floor in
room occupied by Third grade; plank
ing top of we'll, which we find IN
dangerous condition; painting outside
with one coat of paint.
School No. 3-Painting entire build
ing with two coats of paint; replacing
two wash bowls which are in bad cno-
dition; painting of black boards in
rooms occupied by grades 2, 3, and
5.
School No. 4-Painting entire out
side with two coats of paint; chang
ing boys closet SO as to admit more
light, thereby eliminating the necess,-
ty to burning gas jet during school
hours. While the original cost may
be considerable, yet the saving of gas
would be very appreciable in time.
Furthermore, it will be conductive to
a more sanitary condition of the room,
making such repairs on the furnace as
are found necessary after inspection
putting gas fixtures in three rooms
which are rather dark on cloudy days
also single arm fixture in basement
of new addition.
In additionI to the above, we find
t nee essary for sanitary purposes, to
have the closet room in each building
whiteWashed and the floors of same
washed over with coat of cement.
We find that in wet weather numer-
tbs mud holes exist in close proximity
co school entrances and we recommend
the purchase of a carload of crushed
granite Gf the cost is reasonably to
fill these holes.
We further recommend that the
painting of the school building be let
to the lowest responsible bidder and
that all the other improvements and
repairs be done by such parties as
your committee may see fit to employ.

The Beautiful Women.

One woman went out on the way of
shame,
And the wide world marveled and read
her name
And praised her beauty and gaped and
cheered
When, light and fiuttering, she ap-
But one little woman in holden gray
Went out to the suffering night and
day,
And. never for her was the trump OF
And never a cheer as she went OF
One woman went out on the path OF
lies,
And the whole wide world praised her
lustrous eyes
And paused and listened when she
would speak
And marked the roses that graced he1
cheek.
But one little woman in dingy black
Went down where the weary were on
the rack
And carried the woes of the sad ano
lone
And comforted maryland wasun-
One woman set foot on the road OF
wrong,
They blazoned her deeds in joyous
That told of her daring, her charm
and wit,
And the world went humming ano
singing it.
But one little woman in homely gown
Went seeking for sorrow about the
town
And smiles came to gladden. where
she found tears,
But never for her were the thrilling
cheers.
But somewhere the record is fairly
kept,
Unless at his task has the angel slept
And doubtless there, when the wardel
reads
The beautiful tale of the golden deeds
In shining letters will stand eacf
name
Of these little women who had NJ
fame,
But who went patiently day by day
To do their work in the Masters way
And further than all of the outmos
Will ring the names of the Beautiful
| Ones. Anon.

MAIL POUCH TAKEN

BROKE THELOCK ON BAGGAGE
ROOM AT THE JUNCTION.
Pouch Discovered Yesterday Morn
ing BY Young Mdn-Bdg Cut and
Letters Torn Open-TWo Sus-
poets We're Held-Rifle Safe at
the MCCOlriCk Office.

A mail pouch was stolen Wednesday
night from the baggage room at the
Junction after having been placed
there after the arrival of the train
which reaches Watertown at IL O'Clock
p. m. The thieves, who must have
known that the pouch had been placed
in the baggage room, subsequently en-
tered the same by breaking the lock
and took the pouch into an open field
in the rear of the round house belong
ing to the Northwestern railway COM
pany where they ripped the pouch
open with a knife and removed the
contents, opening each letter in search
of money, should there be any in any
of the Enclosures. After having open
ed the letters and scattering about they
left them and the pouch laying in the
field. The robbery was discovered at
about 80 a. m. and reported to the
police but no track of the thief or
thaeivs was secured. At about eight
o'clock a. m. a lad in crossing the
field found the mutilated pouch and
letters and the proper parties went
and gathered up the pouch and lette: s
and brought them to the postoffice and
delivered same to Postmaster Eberle.
In the letters were several bank
drafts which were not taken, but all
of the checks were removed and ap-
propriated by the thieves, one of
which was drawn for the sum of $400,
and made payable to D. & +. Kusel
company.
Two men, strangers, were found
near the Junction and taken into GUS
tody to await the arrival of the post
Office Inspector and subsequently, four
we'll dressed men were seen walking
toward Hubbleton and the fact re
ported to the police, it being surrnised
that they might have been concerned
in the burglary. The inspector was
telegraphed for and until his arrival
and inspection the mail matter will
not be distributed. it is serious Of
fence and should the robbers be ap-
pretended and their guilt proven they
will receive long term in the state
prison, for the government is very
sensitive about the visitation of laws
formed for the protection of the mail
and it is to be hoped that the rob-
[
what they deserve.

Parsons, Kas., May 5.-The sun
says: August Slime. a Swede. who was
here yesterday on his way to Kansas
City, viii be more careful in the future
about the acquaintance he picks up
on his travels. As a result of his
trustfulness he was puncoed out of
1856 here yesterday afternoon, and
has been unable to ind any trace of
the man who worked the game.
Slime lives in Texas. and was on his
way to Kansas City, and was so for
tunate as to have $165 to spend in
cash. On the train he was approached
by a prosperous looking stranger,
who asked him If he did not remem-
Der a man by the name of Smith
who lived in the Swede's home town.
Naturally enough the Swede was
taken off his guard, and when the
stranger confded to him that he had
been an employer of slime, good
humored Hans Hanson took him
into his confidence.
This was what the stranger had
been working for, and he soon told
Stife that he had a check for 1915
and that he was broke and needed
some money to pay freight charges.
Slime gave him his $165, but was sus-
picious enough to keep close watch
on the stranger. His caution was of
no avail. however, and he suddenly
lost sight of his new-found acquaint-
ance. Thinking that he must have
gotten on the train, Slime went as far
as Erie. and then discovering that
the stranger was not on the way to
Kansas City. returned to Parsons
