Can better descry

A pussy cat goes?

Can best counterfeit,
And so i suppose
Can hest count her toes.

LanKe,a Stolen Base.

One of the funniest incidents in base
stealing happened in Chicago one Of
the years that Bill LANCE led the
league in base running. It was close
race between LANCE and Hamilton for
the honors in base stealing, and the
season was drawing to close. The
game was close. and LANCE led off in
the eighth inning with a two Dagger.
Arson went to bat and laid down a
perfect bunt, intending to sacrifice.
he went out in a close finish at first
and, looking up, discovered LANCE still
perched on second. He was furious,
but that condition was mild compared
to what he experienced an instant lat
er when LANCE stole third-and took
the lead for base running honors

lighted the large audience, the special
numbers rendered being a solo by Mr..
w. A. Evans; duet, Miss Margaret Mil
ler and Mr.. Evans; quartette, Misses

A LETTER FROM SuPT. BROWNING
Some Pertinent Suggestions To
Teachers and Trustees.

To the Teachers ond School Trustees:
Please observe on the list of trustees
change in the manner of selecting
teachers, as emphasized by the School
Board.
Trustees must qualify, meet and or
ganize by electing a chairman, and sec
rotary, pro TEN; the teacher becomes
the secretary after elected. Trustees
should accept applications for schools
from teachers; file them and in a rea-
sonable time the chairman of the board
of trustees should call meeting of his
board and elect teacher; fill out the
contracts, secure the teachers sigma
ture and send it to the school board for
confirmation. If the board does not
confirm the contract it will be returned
to the trustees with the reason. Trus-
tees should require the teachers to show
their certificates; teachers without GER
tificates are not eligible.
Trustees only will be furnished with
contracts and not teachers as formerly.
The contracts will be sent to the trus-
tees and if they should need any more
they can get them from the school board.
| hope these suggestions will be care
fully observed by the trustees and
teachers.
Very Truly,
f. A. BROWNING,
Co Stunt.
