New York.-Pupils Of the Morse
high school have been known to per.
init all kinds Of Jokes since they have
been in the new building presented to
the city of Bath, Me-, a few years ago
at cost of nearly 800. 900 by Charles
w. Morse, of New York, and they
have been as varied as could be
imagined. 1t has been the rule, how.
ever, to lay such jokes to the boys
of the school, and recently a demure
young lady perpetrated trick which
made any Of those played by the boys
look small in comparison.
She had been studying zoology, and
had been presented with a snake con-
siderably over IL inches in length.
This she carried to school, wearing 1t
as band about her hair, and then dur.
ing a sly moment placed 1t in Prin-
cipal Coles desk. In an unseen mo.
ment the reptile made its escape from
the desk and wriggled itself down on
the platform and started for an exit,
when it was seen by some of the girls,
who became 80 frightened that they
stood in their chairs, and it was only
after some minutes of terror that one
of the boys managed to capture it,
when order was once more restored in
the schoolroom.

I sold Chicago newspaper in Elgin

stand at the station, which was direct
ly at the head Of the trestle. One
summer evening, was lettering at
this station after my papers were
sold, when a brakeman remarked that
a freight had broken on the grade
north of Elgin, and that part of the
train was travelling back to town as
q runaway. I jumped on my wheel
and started for the old famailiar spin
along the trestle.
I had ridden part way when I no

from the north. It was coming at a

caused me to turn. The passenger

Mucsinka, a good-looking Hungarian
woman of this city, sold her little son
Alexander, three years old, to F. W.
Bacher and his wife, who agreed to
pay the board bill. In an agreement
drawn up by a notary public the wom-
an relinquished all claim to her child.
Mrs. Mucsinka, who was widow, con-
tracted the board debt when she was
out of work She afterward obtained
employment in mill so as to be near
the place. She left the child with the
clearinghouse keeper as security for
the money owed. Recently Mrs. Muc-
sinka was married again, and her hus-
band refused to receive the boy into
his home. Mrs. Bacher, who formed
an attachment for the child when she
was q neighbor of the mother, heard
about the case, and offered to pay the
board bill provided the mother would
surrender possession Of the boy. The
proposal was accepted.

conductor got out Of the rut the other
morning in Sherman avenue street

amusing little comedy.
E. C. Damon. of the city health de-
partment. was returning on the car
with his fumigating tools and, mad
vertently. loosened the stopper Of a
bottle Of formaldehyde. which he
placed inside the car while he enjoyed
the scenery from the rear platform.
Four women inside the car soon be-
gan to think there was something
wrong with their lachrymal glands, as
the escaping formaldehyde addressed
both their olfactory and optical
nerves.
Four women were drying their eyes
with their handkerchiefs and the con-
ductor was in such state of mind and
vision he could not direct his punch
to any Ineligible place on the trans
fers requested.
Outside. Damon was smoking his
pipe and enjoying the scenery. The
bottle Of formaldehyde was in a straw
hamper and the odor escaped through
that receptacle.
When the car reached the Wise Me-
mortal hospital on Sherman avenue a
nurse from that institution boarded
the car. She quickly detected tho ma
ture of the odor and was amused at
the effects 1t had caused on her fel-
low passengers.
Her first impulse was to think that
the conductor was fumigating some
tainted money he had received, SO for
the minute she dismissed the matter
from her mind.

stout woman got on the car and with
some effort made her way to a seat.

Just before Christmas, one of the Den

attention. But it would be even more
interesting II a cut could be made of
the hundreds of thousand dollars
worth OF goods that were sold over the
counters and sent out to mail order
customers during the holiday period. Il
would be hard to estimate the number
of people who visited the store in the
three weeks preceding Christmas,
