wHArGrO SAY TO-DAY.

Table Talk for BrOmides During the Three Meals.
 Breakfast.-There was another rally last night. And another tonight. ] That's one for every night this week. haven't told anybody how am go- ing to vote. This weather isn't so bad. Cloudy weather depresses me; am so sensitive. I can't recognize what street if Is in that cartoon. Maybe tt is not an actual drawing of any particular street. Maybe so.
 Luncheon.--They had both pictures on the same page yesterday afternoon. 1 like a piano stand next to fish house. You can't depend on anything you see in the papers. They ought to make photographs for their cartoons. Yes, and use photographs for reporting speeches. If can manage to get my work cleared up on my desk am go- ing fishing before long. Well, hunting time is over. l gave up giving up great many feel that way about it.
 Dinner.- I am more interested in local politics than in national. Yes, Taft has got the thing cinched anyhow. I wouldn't be surprised if they nom mated somebody nobody ever heard of The Republicans won't; they leave that kind of thing to the Democrats. Bryan wasn't heard of till he made that cross of gold speech in Omaha; l thought they held that convention in Cleveland. Well, 1t was somewhere in the West. Old Noah Henline is back. I believe we have winning team. They didn't make all this bother over school books when we were boys. The old blue back dictionary was the best school book ever. It has given me many thrashing. I'd like to live 1t all over again, trouncings and all.

 Congestion First Consideration.

 As has been published" he said, the school houses are so crowded as to make the teaching of the young idea a very difficult task.

Each of the classes, therefore. receives but half a days instruction, which is not as much as is expected or needed. It is only by the construction of the new Central high school building, to he used for boys and girls in the up- per grades, that the congestion may be abated effectively.
 We are going to take up night schools as soon as the time is ripe. It is as much a question of whether the schools are wanted as of whether they can be afforded by the city"
 The Kid on the Car.
 He was such a small boy as you wish you had been yourself-perhaps you would still wish to be. He had ballet blue eyes, which means the kind that look like the sky of a sunny spring day and are dancing; his nose had just enough up-turn to imply an unlimited supply of mischievous resourcefulness. and his mouth was punctuated with two or three dark snags for commas, some vacancies for question marks, and a couple of small. white canines for parentheRes.
