 The schools Teachers.
 The school this year is in charge of Prof. H. J. Stringfellow, of Newton, as principal, who has had twenty years experience in the school room, and Miss Viola Knight of Healing Springs. as assistant. Miss Knight was with us last year and endeared herself to all her pupils and gave great satisfaction as a teacher. Mrs. R. D. swalding has charge of the music class and is a splendid teacher.

 Pedestrians passing through the Rue da Douat, a well known street in the north of Paris, were surprised tne other evening to find it illuminated wtLh Chinese and Venetian lanterns, while flags hung from the windows and paI" comics. Across the street was stretcn- ed a large stripe of calico bearing ths inscription: ,....
 "Down with motor.busSs. Long live aufAtnass and wooden pavingF"
 Groups of people stood about on the navements or sat outside the cafes. Boys were letting off Squfbs' ana the general aspect of the street was that customary on a national fete day. The reason for these evidences or .puplic re3oicinR was that the inhabitants and ahopkeepers of the Rue de Doual were caIebratinr the prohibition of motor omnibus trafIic along the thoroughkara and the installation of wooden paving
 Underground passages for pedos. trians are to be built at various points beneth the Champs ElysaeE, which the constant stream of motor cars now renders impossible from morning until evening. The congestion of other Paris streets also has grown to an alarming extent, and, although we are only at the beginning of the winter season, all thoroughfares round the Opera are aI- ready blocked with traffic for houra' morning and afternoon.
 If the Champs Elysees tunnels prove a success, others will be excavated in the center of Paris, and foot passengers will in future cross not over streets but under them. The Municipal Coun- ell laments, however, that owing to lack of funds 1t will not be able 70 do all it should wish for nurse-maads with baby carriages.
 1t had been hoped to build the ap- breaches to the Champs Elysees under ground passages in inclined planes down which perambulators could have been rolled easily. But this has been found too costly, and only stAAr- cases will be provided.

the most fercafnl and fearless editors of the Weat of his day.
 Lydia Thompson was accustomed to receiving iaudatoFy notices in the British press when she made her anitlal appearance in America in 1oea. She had her own ideas Of just what con stituted editorial license. Wilbur Storey had just as clearly defined ideas of the function of the editor.
 It was recalled yesterday that hls ideas came into violent conflict with the preconcaIved opinions of the 1aeh- ing blonde Rctress. She opened af CPosby's Opera House in Washington street, on Nov. 22, Isee. Her company consisted of Q number of handAotns Amazons. who introduced tights to Chicago. The effect was electric. The young blades crowded the house nisht after night, while their elders wagged their heads and predicted the ship. wreck of public morals.
 Editor Scores Actress.
 A return engagement was played ir February of the next year. It was then that Mir. Storey took his aharpest quill from the editorial ink pot, dip ped it in vernon and gall. and procsed- cd to administer 6 lesson in morals. One Of his most bitter. arraiganoents of the actress and her company con. cluded:
 "BSwds at the opera hOussI where are the police?'
 George IL Fergus. of the Fergus Printing Company. who lives at S16 Sheridan road, remembers the start ling denoument of the inpromptu drama
 Lydia Thompson was a very high spirited woman," he said, "and she couldn't let such an aftront pass un- resented. On the evening of Feb. 3d, aceompanled by Pauline Markham, one of the members of her company hes husband. Mr. Henderson. and . man named Gordon, she waylaid Mr. Storey in Wabash avenue near Peck court He lived in Michigan avenue. I be- lieve, and was probably on his way home.
 "As I remember it lEr. Storey was walking with his wife at the time. When the two parties got within reaching distance Lydia whipped a black snape from the folds of her dress and began to lay on tho lash. She put all the strength of her arm into the chastisement until pAsaers.by inter fered.
 TrIal Causes Stir.
 There was a public trial and much feeling was reused. The young blades. believe, were Inclined to symp&thize with the actress, but the editor had his party adherents too.
 Although Lydia Thompson was a strfklngly handsome woman. she was surrounded by group of blondes that surpassed her in looks in some in- stances. Pauline Markham, in psrtio- ulRr, remember, was @ finer looking woman than her chief.
 T believe the beating administered to the editor was the finest bit of ad- veFtisinG she had ever dona. My fath- CT. Robert Fergus. was In London some time later. and her audacity was still the staple of talk there"
 Mir. 9torsy's public attek upon the woman is remembered as characteris- tic by old cittxsas. He had 6 theory that the sdtsoriAi chair was the huh of the VnaySzse.

 Paris, Nov. 21--FrenchrAen of every rank and class dearly love titles. The manager of a Paris insurance company was decorated with the Legion of Hon. or a few days ago. and the clerks Tn the employ of the company presented him with a piece Of plate to which their visiting -cards were attached. on looking over these he was good deal puzzled and amused by the visiting card of the office "boy," an old soldier from the InVa1ides, who was employed to open the office doors from nine 10 four. Under the mans name was the title. '"The Emperor's Orderly" He sent for the old soldier. who stumped in and saluted. "of what Emperor are you the orderly. and howl" he asked. The old InvaIi6R drew himself up to attention. T am the orderly of the Emperor" he said, Napoleon. le Petit Caporal." "But he is dead some time" answered the soldier. T dust his tomb for him."
 The newest swindle, in which many Parisians and provincials have been caught, is that invented by an archi- tect, who opened two offices, one in Paris and one in a provincipal town where he offered to build cheap houses for owners of small plots of ground in the suburbs, which were to be paid for by instalnents. The architect accepted anything from $200 up, the rest to be paid at different dates spread over period as long at the customer chose to make 1t. The proposed houses were to be immediately built and exceedingly cheap. Any number of small land holders fell into the trap, and paid their first instalments, but the promised buildings of their houses was never begun. The architect in nearly every instance, told his customers that their title was not clear or the ground too small, and simply pocketed the money. Some of the victims. however, lost patience, and lodged a complaint against him. with the result that the crafty architect is now lodged in prison.
 A young man from the South has just had a good laugh at the army He was willing to enlist, but wished to have q trial first, and succeeded. He wrote to inc commanding officer at Saint Ger main. and was accepted, but when tt came to signing the contract he sue ceeded in avoiding it, and handed 1t back unsigned. The trick was not noticed, and after a week tho young man. having had trial enough. decided that he preferred not to continue. He told the sergeant that he had made up his mind to leave the barracks, and was about to do so when he was stop ned and threatened with the usual mill itarv penalties. He had no dif1culty in nrovfnr that he was under no obliga- tions. and the authorities were obliged to let him go free.
