THE FOUR FINE POINTS.

There's denying it. grandfathers and grand
mothers were a cheerful bunch of people.
contributor to the Atlantic Monthly has found in a
popular periodical of 20 years ago cheerful argument
and comforting conclusions under the title 'The Advan
tages of Consumption
The writer up his in the following four state
ments each of which he sustans by careful elaboration
and explanation:
"First-Consumption gives time for reflection and
thought
Observation-Disclosures is seldom accompanied with
pain.
"Third- Consumption seldom dethrones the reason.
"Fourth-Consumption ends in DEATH"
Having proven his and each of the four points in
young girl who fortunate contract this desir
able disease.
We to infer that this young person was of a some
what sunny disposition insofar that she loved the world
and life and could bring her mind but hardly to the
temptation OF the perils of future state.
1t might have required full half century of life had
she continued to be hampered by fulbooded health to
bring this too vital virgin to realization of the serious
of life and of DEATH
But consumption interviewed and in couple of years
did for her what health would have wasted half century
on for after she was stricken she had ampe time for
reflection and thought" her being unimpared to
prepare herself for the fearful of etenty and
this with such degree of pain gave her just for
complaint Indeed the degree Of pain vOuchsafed her
barely enough to keep her reminded of the weakness
and nfiity of the mortal flesh. And after gener
Ousy adequate period of reflection the relative merits
of birthstone and haos, through undimmed mental
vision and undisorted by undue physical anguish she be-
\me the of the final boon of her desirable dis
e1e-death.
\Derhaps this explains why predecessors in this
world let tuberculosis get such start that the whole world
today is uniting in a fight against it.
Or perhaps there hidden beauties in the disease too
delicate for ruder tastes to appreciate.
Anyhow the old folks were cheerful-at times.

NEW YORK, July 2S.-When
Mrs. Eliza Walker and her sister,
from Greensburg, Ind, insisted on
a porter carrying a large valise to
their suite at the fashionable Hoff-
man house, they started trouble.
The porter wondered what was
in the grip. He stuck his finger
in, and big rooster nipped it. He
delivered it and then told the man
ager.
When the house detective and a
brigade of bell boys. entered the
Walger suite they found the rooster
and four acknowledged hens
scratching the velvet carpet, hunt
ing for worms.
Mrs. Walker wept when told the
chickens had to go.

PRINCIPAL OF HIGH
SCHOOL LEFT OUT
BY BOARD

BY the unanimous consent of the
school board, the name of E. J. Klemme
principal of the local high school, was
dropped from the list of teachers last
night and the position is now left open.
Although rumor has been afioat for
some time regarding this question,
nothing was known definitely until the
deliberations of the board were made
public and those who were lucky
enough to guess the way it would turn
out, are now to be seen with faces
reathed in smiles and an "I-told-you-
so" expression on their faces. This
was not the only surprise sprung,
however, for when the recommended
tions of Superintendent o. S. Jones
were offered, they were ignored and
the vacancies for teachers on the city
staff were filed.
Failure of reelection came as sur
prise to Mr.. Klemme who had said pre-
viously that if he were not considered
good man for the place he would
gracefully step down and out. On the
other hand, he stated that If he thought
some office seeker was after job, he
would do all in his power to retain
his present position. The case has been
brewing for some time and is the direct
outcome of friction on the part of the
principal and the parents of high school
pupils Owing to rigid discipline and
strict manner of conducting the
school, the methods of Mr.. Klemme
were deemed too severe by many and
his removal from Office was conse-
ouently asked for Agitation of this
