High School Notes

The Classical High School Debating So
ciety has opened for the year and II the
successive meetings can equal the first IN
enthusiasm and numbers, then there IL
indeed bright future I'm store for the So
ciety this year. The school won a num-
ber OF the interscholastic debates last sea-
son, notably the fray with h. M c. Dur
fee high OF Fall River, Mass.
The members flast years entire team.
Sucker, Piling, Granlund and Semonoff
have all left but there is enough good ma
terial remaining TO put forth a winning
team, especially so since all the other
schools have been handicapped in the
same way.
A committee OF three including Cory
and Cooper has been appointed by the
English High Athletic association to see
the principal of the school In regard TO
the football team. For various reasons
the principal is inclined TO withhold his
permission TO have a team this fall and
the outcome of his interview with the
comittee is being eagerly awaited by the
pupils.
From present appearances the English
High School Debating society which was
organized last year, is going to open
Lowry. Siegal and Rigney good debaters
of the last season still remain, and with
some added material from the incoming
classes good results are expected.
The first melting OF the society will be
hefd IN tho lecture room OF the school to-
day

plete as his cares will permit is now ar
ranged. President Roosevelt will pitch his
camp In the northeastern corner OF Louis

o. going directly to Vicksburg. Miss, TO
make his promised speech there. The re-
turn to washington will be begun imme-

bear are numerous, deer abound and
smaller game, from wildcats down to
squirrels innumerable. A year ago

"STRANGER THAN FlCTION." .


The Washington, Times, which has
always borne a high reputation for
scrupulous veracity, prints the follow
ing:
stranger than fiction is the story of
a big bay horse that threw J. H. Wur-
deman, Jr., of Ills Thirteenth street
northwest, in front of DR.. H. Wells
Woodwards Office. 1918 Massachusetts
avenue northwest and afterwards rang
the physicians doorbell. summoning
the latter to the ala of the injured
driver about $50 o'clock last evening.
Mr.. Wurueman received a severe LAGER
alton of the scalp over the right eye
Strangely enough, DR.. Woodward is
an eye, ear and throat specialist. At
ter receiving the necessary medical
attention Mr.. Wurdeman went to his
home a block and half from the
physicians Office.
Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Wurdeman
had business on Fourteenth street and
used the horse and buggy. While re-
| turning to his home the horse became
| unmanageable near Fourteenth street
| and Massachusetts avenue Rearing
on its launches, the animal Iunged
forward and dashed east along the
avenue at breakneck speed
| when it reached the alley half way
between Thirteenth and Fourteenth
streets, the frightened horse gallopeC
up on the sidewalk. Whirling around
on the wheels On the right side the
buggy crashed into an iron fence sur
rounding DR.. Woodward's lawn. Mr.
| Wurdeman was unseated and hurled E
distance of 20 feet, striking his head or
the fence. He fell to the sidewalk ir
a dazed condition, bleeding profusely
from the ugly cash over his right eve
The suddenness with which the We.
hlcle came to standstill and the
plunglng of the horse caused the
shafts to become disconnected from tn,
body of the buggy. Unrestricted ant
untrammeled. the horse stood for 2
moment by the PROSTATE driver. ant

At the door of the physicians of.

ring This evidently attracted the
attention of the horse. Suffice to say
the vigorous and continued ringing OF
the bell attracted a member Of the
family to the door.
Words could scarcely express the
surprise of the woman when she opened
the glass door and saw a horse that
looked as big as all out of doors
standing at the entrance of the Of
flee rubbing his nose up and down on
the nickel plated sign. When the
woman uttered a scream the horse
took his nose from the sign. He thrust
his head into the vestibule and eyed
her quizzically.

back the animal to the street. when he
saw a crowd around a fallen man.
whose face and clothing were covered
with blood. Mr.. Wurdeman was taken
into the physicians Office. where his
wound was washed and dressed by DR..
Woodward. Later he telephoned for
his father, who took him to his home
and had the horse sent to the stable
The buggy was practically demolished.
!" DR.. Woodward said: 1t was one of
the strangest things I have ever heard
of. 1 was attending patient in my
Office when 1 heard laundering noise
on the porch, and 1 remarked: THAT
sounds like a horse" An instant later
the bell began to ring continuously, as
if the person outside was in a big
hurry. One of the servants in the
house answered the ring. Her aston
ishment knew no bounds when she
found the horse at the door. The ami
NAL poked his head almost into the Of
flee before I reached the door,"
This story is illustrated with pict-
ure of the horse ringing the bell.
1t is about 165 years since George
Washington cut down the cherry tree.

RURAL MAIL SERVICE.

| A statement recently issued by INT
assistant postmaster general SHOWS
that there are now $1,000 rural deliver!
routes in the United States. The larg
est number in any commonwealth II
credited to Illinois, which has 2755
Closely following the leader are ono
with 2492, Iowa with 1903, and Indiana
with 2130. Pennsylvania is the only
other state with more than 1000. II te
the central western states mentioned
| there are added the showings for Mich
igan Wisconsin. Minnesota and MIS-
souri,, the total of routes is more thar
| 1850.
1t is said that these states, With
their level prairies and their large ano
progressive rural communities, have
the most favorable conditions for the
establishment and extension of this
form of public service. The figures in
dicating the amount of business
handled seem to show an increasing
popularity. Thus there are reported
to be forty-six routes on which more
than $4,000 pieces of mail are handled
every month, ten of these having
record of over 10000 pieces.
Taking the country over, the average
number of pieces Of mail handled on a
rural route each month is 4425, a gain
of 20 per cent over the showing OF a
year ago, when the number was 1888.
What is more encouraging is that few
routes show any falling off, the gain
being general.
Another interesting item which re-
fleets the appreciation of the conven-
fence which the system has for the
people of the rural districts is the re-
port of the number of money orders is
sued by the carriers. There has been
gain in this respect of about rs per
cent, the average being 685 month,
as opposed to 548 a year ago. If it
were possible to ascertain what this
element Of business represented there
might be material for an interesting
study of social life. With the oppor-
tunity of arranging for a convenient
form of sending small sums from his
own doorway the farmer is able to
transact a good deal of business which
might never have been done under the
old system.
The carriers are said to be worked
to the limit Of their carrying ability.
That means that there must be larger
appropriations for an increasingly pop
ular form of governmental service.
The farmers and jewellers in small
country towns having once enjoyed
the satisfaction of having the mail
brought to their doors will never let the
privilege be taken from them. The
opportunity of development is bound
less when the constant growth of the
country is considered
The list of states which have the
smaller number of routes is almost as
interesting as that which tells of the
leaders. Population conditions need no
diagram to be understood when there
is one route for Nevada, four for New
Mexico and six for Wyoming.
