ed School last Monday a great many
of our local speakers, as well as Prof.
Kee, made very appropriate talks,
some in serious and Others in humor-
GUS vein. At last Mrs. Fannie Walk
er was called on to make few re-
marks. She arose with alacrity and
said indeed she did want to speak and
had been wanting to for sometime.
She said she wanted to lift her voice
for an adjournment as some of the
little ones were worn out and nearly
crying. Prof. Kee Immediately lifted
his hand and said. LET US all arise
and be dismissed. "
Who has not experienced some diff
Guilty in expressing numbers nor has
had some trouble with his arithmetic?
We of uncertain, if not mature age,
have lapses Of memory in which our
uncertain, if not mature minds, play
false and refuse US the information
we are fully persuaded lies dormant
beneath our thought dome. Did your
mind ever balk at parts Of the multi
plication table? Nine times eight are
what? Whoa! Sal-back up! Let's
pick out familiar place in the road

A good illustration of the above oc-
cured at the beginning Of school last
Monday in grade one Mrs. Fannie
p. Walker suddenly appeared before a
little boy who sat in open mouthed
wonder and awe. and whose little heart
went pit-a-pat while he debated in his
mind whether or not he would ever
see mamma again. "Now my little
man what is your nane?"
"Nesbitt Fowler"
"And how old are your" This was
said in a critical tone and with sweep
Of the eye that would Indicate age
four and one-half. The little boy hes
itated then suddenly frightened as he
stuck up the thumb Of his left hand
and all five Of the fingers Of the right
hand and replied, 1.-TWO funds and
these fingers"

John W. Blue, double junior, is a
little Depot street boy with Presbyter-
ian pulpit predictions. He has arriv-
ed at that age in which the mind is fill
ed with Interrogation marks. He
leisurly losses these at his father or
mother with careless abandon that
is sometimes amusing and sometimes
irritating. Not long ago he clambered
on a chair behind his father and pro-
ceeded to investigate the growth Of
his fathers back hair. Continuing
his investigations further up he made
the alarming discovery that there was
no hair on top Of his head where il
ought to grow. Immediately he tossed
out an Interrogation point.
Papa who cut your hair on top OF
your head?"
Father time my son.
well papa don't you let father time
cut il anymore.
