NOTES OF INTEREST

Another favorite pastime for the
High School girls and boys will be
tennis. A tennis club will be, organ

begin to play.
Mr.. Need and a good many of the
boys turned in with will and worked
on that tennis court, In fact, one of the
boys exerted himself so much that the
girls who were playing basketball
nearby told him II he kept on at that
rate tnatt he might be able to work

There are also different classes re-

and boys and girls who think only of
each other. They wink, smile or gig

Another interesting meeting of the
Shakespearian Club was held Tues
day afternoon. The roll call was an
swered to by quotations from the
Comedy Of Errors" The programme
was both pleasing and instructive.
Mr.. Carlton, the advance agent for
the miraculous painting 1.-THE Shadow

Wednesday morning.

There was lecture delivered by Mr..
Basmajain, missionary from Con-
stantinople, Thursday afternoon. He
told us about the Armenians and
mentioning the fact that Constantine
ople was the center of American Mis-
sionaries.
The girls marry from the age of
fourteen up. They do not see their
bridegroom-to-be until the night of the
wedding, for the father does all the
counting. They are married on Sun
day at midnight. The husband an
wife cannot speak to each other in the
presence of the other. Then he showed
us how they ate. The tablecloth is
a narrow long stripped piece of goods,
and they all sit on the floor with the
cloth spread on their laps. Only one
dish Of food is brought in at a time.
This was placed in the middle of the
circle.
Many curious instruments were
shown the H. S. and several pieces of
music were played by him on the diff
ferent instruments.
The different costumes were shown
and explained and caused much merri-
ment.
The pleasant afternoon ended by the
audience singing America" accom-
panied by Mrs, Henderson with the
piano and Mr.. Basmajain with some
peculiar musical instrument three
thousand years old.

The basketball game which was to

The following is an example of the
literary talent of one of our Junior
(A) girls.
TYPES OF STUDENTS.
In our school there are many and
varied types of boys and girls. Some
come in every morning with bright
smiles, both for their fellowpupils and
eachers. They are happy that they
have the opportunity to learn and re-
joice in the fact that they can read
latin and explain propositions in gee
ometry or write splendid compositions.
Then there are some who come in and
hardly speak unless it is to misbe-
have, and try their teachers patience
at intervals during the day. They
study when they feel like it. They
talk when they feel like 1t. and laugh
whenever there is the slightes sug-
gestion Of anything to laugh at. If \
they know their lessons-it is all

The Trnmn PrnhIen

Since the day the first steam locomotive
ran from Baltimore to EIlicott City. the
genus hobo has made the railway tracks
his highway, and the box cars and trucks
OF passenger coaches his vehicle of
transportation. He has considered II an
inalienable right to travel from one mart
Of the country 10 the other without the
payment Of any fare. He has been able
TO obtain free transportation to the
South In the winter months, and to the
cooler States Of the North in the spring.
He has done this by beating" his way.
Now come the official figures showing
that nearly 5000 trespassers on railroad
property were killed IN the last ten years.
Not all were tramps. but the majority,
no doubt. were. This heavy loss Of life,
an unnecessary slaughter Of persons who
had no legal right on the tracks. has
led to a determined aght by some OF the
roads to end the Tespassing evil.
This wanton destruction Is responsible
for the unfavorable showing made by the
American lines as compared with those
Of Europe. There walking on the tracks
Is sternly forbidden and almost unknown.
With more stringent regulations. we will
get out OF the habit. and It will work
no hardship. This win greatly simplify

Boiled down, there is nothing more to his
accommodating whatever.
Following this has come the afidavit Of

Insurance Against Idleness.

Business IS business; yet business Is
not without sentiment in these days. It
is still as true as in the time Of
Ecclesiastes: He that taketh away his
neighbor's living slayeth him. and he
that defraudeth the laborer OF his hire Is
a blood shedder." Thus a switchman on
a railway in Texas, who was loyal TO
Mr.. Carnegie in his early days, has fust
received $4,000 as token OF the grateful
remembrance Of the Laird Of skibo. The
Westinghouse company lr Pittsburg is
distributing thousands OF collars in bo-
muses. to employees who were faithful dur
ing the recent days OF its adversely. A
citizen OF New England hurried across
the continent from Seattle to attend the
funeral of an old domestic servant. These
are instances Of that which makes the
whole world kin.
Now the cry OF the unemployed, which
distresses modern industrial life, IS TO
be answered in England by legislation
providing insurance against that disaster.
The system is first to be applied to the
trades of building. shipbuilding. and en-
cheering, which employ approximately
one-third Of the wage-earners in Eng
land. State, employer, and employee will
each contribute cents a week toward
the fund. The labor exchanges VIII be
associated with the plan. The voorhees,

else show satisfactory reason for refus-
Ing. II forced TO be idle. he is to re-

twenty weeks The attitude Of the labor
unions toward this plan has not yet been
made clear. The better protection OF the
wage-earner is an asset TO the employer
as well as a benefit 70 the employee. pro-
vided the conditions are fair. But the
degree OF compulsIon IN this system needs
to be made plain
