very good. All parents and friends
are cordially invited.
Rev. C. C. Hill, a member of the
Board of Education, spent last Thurs
day morning visiting the Central
school and last Friday morning visit
ing the High School.
The Superintendent visits every
week, the High School and North Hill
school, spending a halliday at each
school. Good work is being done at
each school by teachers and pupils.
The last two weeks of bad weather
has been rather hard on the schools.
The parents are requested to send
their children in bad weather if they
are well, because every precaution is
taken by the teachers. The school
rooms are kept warm and comfortable
and the children are given physical
culture exercises instead of recess in
bad weather. If parent keeps a child
out of school two days in succession
on account of bad weather, the child
will suffer il its work, because it
will miss the work gone over by the
class. This necessarily will affect the
child's thoroughness and class stand
ing.

trail school the forenoon of last Wed
nesday.
Some of the pupils in geography

London, Nov. 21.-The Bank OF

as Indicating that the directors are

SOCIETY PAST AND PRESENT.
Gush About "Good Old Times" Has No
Real Foundation.

After-dinner speakers are making
much of the old-fashioned honesty.
They very properly bemoan present
corruption, graft, chicanery and the
entire list of evils, which, with time
honored jokes, make up the stock in
trade of after-dinner speakers. They
would make men virtuous by making
them like their grandfathers.
But what inspiration lies in this
eulogy of grandparents? 1t is always
easy to see saint in a dead relative,
just as it is easy to see a statesman
in dead politician. Some of us are
very keen to build monuments for the
prophets these very same grandpar-
ents made extremely uncomfortable.
Why talk about our ancestors hon.
esty? Why not have an honesty of
our own? Grandfathers' virtues, like
grandfathers' clocks, may be badge
of responsibility, but in our own day
they are not always in good running
order. Our forefathers were no bet
tel. than we are--indeed, to judge from
the criticism OF their fellow citizens
of another political party, they were
a good deal worse!-The World To-

PEN PORTRAIT OF MARCUS DAILY.
Possessed Qualities Bound to Force
Him to the Front.

DAILY was a man of medium height
and stocky figure. A splendid, full
rounded head topped a well knit body.
His eye was maryelously clear, and
his voice, in conversation, was low
and mellow. His feet were small
and his hands, despite the hardships
of his early life, were delicate and
shapely as woman's, writes c. P.
Connolly, in McClure's. He had had
no early advantages. He was born
In Ireland and left that country
when he was not yet Is. He sold
newspapers in New York and later
obtained employment as messenger in
a mercantile or banking house in that
city, where he saved enough money to
take him by water to California. From
there he drifted up to the Comstock,
in Nevada, and then went to Montana
He would have forced himself up
through poverty and obscurity had he
never discovered the Butte hill. No
man was shrewder in his everyday
intercourse with men. Few knew
the real workings of his mind-he
seemed to divine the mental processes
of others He did not belong to that
race of poverty stricken and superior
men who, as Balzac said, can do every
thing for the fortunes of others, but
nothing for their own.

JACKSON ENDORSED THE NOTE.
Rascally Government Official Brought
to Time by President.

When Andrew Jackson was presi-
dent poor widow who kept board
ing house, finding it impossible to col
lect her board bill from government
official, went to the White House and
told the president about it.
Jackson said to her: Hell give
you note for it, won't he?"
She said yes"
"Then," said Jackson, ''get his note
and come back and see me again"
She had no difficulty in getting the
note, and, carrying it to the White
House, the president took it and wrote
on its back Andrew Jackson" then
told her to put it in bank for col
lection.
When the government official was
notified that his note was in the bank
for collection he laughed at the idea,
but when he was told that it was in
dorsed by Andrew Jackson he got the
money mighty quickly and paid it,
and a few days afterward he was noti-
fed that his services were no longer
wanted.

Eoiled His Wife.

Perhaps one of the queerest of fu-
nerals was that of Samuel Baldwin,
of Lymington. 1t seems that this
English, squire and his wife were in
the habit of quarreling nearly every
day. In one of their wranglings, the
wife got the better of old Sam by tell
ing him that some day she would
dance over his grave.
This worried the old man, and to
spite her and to prevent her from
carrying. out her threat, he arranged
with his executor that he should be
buried in the sea, outside the Needles.
To confirm this statement, there is
this entry in the old Lymington
church register: Samuel Baldwin,
Esq, sojourner in this parish, was inn
mersed without the Needless sans

WHEN BUCHANAN WAS KING.
Scotch Monarch Transferred Royal
Authority to Tutor.

George Buchanan was a scholarly
historian, conversationalist, and the
best Latin poet of his age Buchanan
was tutor to Mary, Queen of Scots,
and to her s1n, James, afterward
James l. of England. One day he
caused himself tc be made king of
Scotland, and this was the way of it:
Having observed in James tendency
to too ready acquiescence, he drew
up a paper for his royal pupil to
sign. James did so at once, without
having read it. The document hap
pened to be a transfer of the royal
authority to Buchanan for Is days, and
no sooner had the poet got it into
his possession than he began to play
the monarch, even before the king
himself. James thought the man a
lunatic until the instrument was pro-
duced by which he had signed away
his sovereignty. This incident was
used by the worthy perceptor to illus
trate the days lesson on the re-
sponsibilities of monarchs. - Elk
