and efficient superintendent Of educa-
tiou, is candidate for reelection,
and his announcement for that Office

given perfect satisfaction to both
teacher and patron. He has always
performed the duties of the office hon.

Consider what the hen does when
she is working, now that her strike
season is on and she clamors for ra-
lions. The market value Of "Biddy" is
about 30 cents and the value of her
daily produce 2 cents, or one twenty
fifth part OF her own worth True,
her career is short, but long enough
for her to earn her own value many
times over, and that cannot be said of
some in this world who have great
pretentions to usefulness.
