Why Boys Play Hockey.


 A child plays truant either because the school has too little interest for him or else because the parent cannot properly control him. Probably in most cases both circumstances affect his conduct. If the subjects taught and the teachers themselves were i'll all respects what they should be and if the parents had full control of their children, there would be little heard of truancy or its effects. There are three causes of truancy, therefore, which de- serve attention-a narrow curriculum which fails to meet the needs or in- terests of all the pupils; inefficient teachers who by reason of lack Of skill, tact and sympathy fail to reach some of the pupils; weak or indifferent parents who fail in their duty of keep. ing their children in school.-"Chari- ties and the Commons"

ENGLISH INN SIGNS.

One That Cast a Reflection on King
 George III.
 One of the last stopping places of the London and Weymouth coach was at little Dorset village, whose principal hostelry was known as the Ass Head. So good were the refreshments, so obliging the host and so reasonable the charges that the inn did a thriving trade and was we'll spoken of through. out the district In one of George HIS visits to Weymouth the royal party stayed at this inn and had lunch. This was very gratifying to the loyal host. who immediately took down his orig inal signboard and erected a full length painting of the king in its place. Henceforth the inn should be known as the Royal George. The proprietor of the rival hostelry in the village pur- chased the Ass Head sign for a few shillings and had 1t placed over the door of his house. Now, 1t so hap pened that the coachcsan and guard of the Weymouth coach had been changed on the day this alteration Of the signboards took place, and they were both strangers 10 the district, but their instructions had been to stop at the Ass Head. and, seeing the sign on the rival house, they pulled up there. This much annoyed the orig inal owner, who, foreseeing that his pocket might suffer for his loyalty. immediately had nailed to the bottom of the painting of King George a board with these words in large let ters: "Thls is the original Ass!"- London P.

Hansboroush's Bank Plan.

dlcatl0n that the speaker VIII comply further with Mir. Williams wishes.
 Hansborough's Bank Plan.
 The main consideration in view by Speaker Cannon in appointing the com mittee on banking and currency before naming any other committees was to create a receptacle for an inpouring stream of letters from all parts of the country to members of congress urging immediate legislation on finance. While the naming of the banking committee on the second day of the session does not mean necessarily that any legisla- tion will be accomplished this month. the speaker prepared promptly for leg islation in it's initial stages by nam ing the committee to which all fnan- cial measures must be referred before they can come up for discussion or ac- tion on the floor of the house. It is now believed the committees will be filled within the next ten days.
 Senator Hansborough N. D. pre- sented his plan for central bank and urged favorable consideration of a bill authorizing the establishment of such a bank Senator Bailey then urged a measure authorizing an issue of SJOO.- OO0.OO0 in greenbaeks. His proposition was not sustained by any member of the committee After a general dis cussi0n it was agreed that nothing should be done for the present in order to give the members of the committee time to weigh the various plans care fully.

 Following is the membership of the committee as now constituted: Fowler (N. D, chairman; Prince Qll.), Calder head Kan.), Powers (iIeD, McMorran (Mich).

O., McHenry Pa.), Democrats.
 The speaker explained that he had made the increase of the minority rep resentatiOn in consideration of the views of Mir. Williams, the minority leader. Some time ago Mir. Williams appealed to the speaker for an increase of the minority representation on the committees, but the friends of the speaker say that his action with re- spect to the committee on banking and currency is not to he taken as an in- dication that the speaker will comply further with Mir. Williams wishes.
