A IDEA.
How an Ingenious Student Avoided a
Tardy Mark.

A certain student at the Central
high school hit upon a brilliant idea
to escape punishment for lateness. II
is an established rule at the institu.
ton to detain all pupils one hour after
regular dismissal for each case OF
lateness, and if the same student is
late three times in one month he is
liable to suspension for one day, un
less he is able to furnish a reasonable
Excuse. A suspension carries with II
a forfeiture of exemptions in four and
sometimes five studies. The student
In question, through some unavoida
BILE delay, was late twice in one
month. While going to school one
morning, the car in which he rode was
held up for about 10 minutes at Wash.
ington avenue by the freight trains
Fearing suspension through his chron
&c lateness the student tore a leai
from his notebook and asked his fel
low passengers to afix their sigma
lures to a note which declared that
he was detained by the railroad cars
He arrived at school several minutes
late, but on presentation of his note
signed with 20 names, he was excused
by the professors. --Philadelphia Rec

Evidently President Kingsley of the
New York Life Insurance company
has learned the great lesson of the
times with respect to the responsible
lty and duty of directors of corpora
tons. Speaking to the new board Of
trustees, on the occasion Of his cleo
ton to the presidency, he emphasized
the fact that life insurance is more
than a private business, that life in
surance trustees are public servants,
charged at once with the obligations
