Attorney General Dickett, a
loyal son Of Wake Forest and a

most outstanding things today
in the University student life are
its clean athletics ana its demo-

THAT THE LONG TERM BONDS
SELL MUCH BETTER.
DEBATE on KIND oElBoNDs

To raise funds for the construction
and equipment of the new high school
building, Ninth and North streets,
the school board of the city of Rich
mond will sell $175.ooo Pf tnds in the
near future. Money v@llb be raised in
order to pay for the bfYIe by increas-
ing the city school taxi from 20 cents
to between Is and sofcents per hun
dred dollars Of assessed valuation.
The board has not decided on the
conditions for selling the bonds;
whether to make them OF long term
issue, or to be payable at intervals.
Both methods are desirable and the
decision. OF the board will depend on
the details remaining to be worked
out. The short term bond Is more de
sirable to the board In that not 50
much is expended on interest.
Long Term Sells Better.
However, the long term bond usually
sells better. It has been the case in
the past that corporations issuing
short term bonds have had to sell at
par. while the other kind usually
brings interest at the time Of sale.
Superintendent T. A. Mott, In dis
cussing the matter this morning stat
ed that the raise would be SO small
that 1t would hardly be worthy OF no
tice. He declared that the tax after
the raise would be we'll under the lin
it, which Is $1.o5.
Although contracts let up to date
call for an expenditure aof approx,
mately $16SOOO. Mr.. Mott believes
that $175 600 will more than cover the
entire cost Of the building and equip
ment. Should 1t be more than suffi-
cent to cover the cost the remainder

An Eloquent Address.
Attorney Miller for the defense,
made the most eloquent address ever
heard in Mercer county, consisting of
y plain statement of facts. He de-
clared that the line OF testimony In
troduced by the prosecution, In spite
OF his objections, was all given in q
manner as II directed toward Boyle in
stead Of Mrs. Boyle, while Boyle had
already been convicted, and Mrs.
Boyle was on trial.
He declared no evidence had bte,n
produced, to connect Mrs. Boyle with
the crime Of kidnapping. and that If
Mrs. Boyle did commit the crime, it
was committed In Ohio, not Pennsyl-
vania. The summing up for prosecu-
tion was by Attorney Gordon, who ar
gued that the evidence all combined to
prove Mrs. Boyle plotted the kidnap-
ping In Sharon with Boyle, and fur
uished. the brains to carry it out. He
also asked. the jury to convict her on

"In--in another situation, sir" she
answered.
If l had been amazed when l found
that Jane could play billiards quite
well, was more amazed when l heard
her sing. Although she only sang the
men some simple old ballads of the
North country, it was not difficult to

went down into the hall, ready to de-

large travelling sleigh, roomy enough
for four people, with my luggage
packed at the end. Near the door stood
the landlord and landlady, evidently
greatly interested and amused. But
there was no sign of Jane And there
were certain coins in my hand which l
wished to bestow upon Jane.
"Where is Jane?" inquired.
Here in a moment, sir" answered
the landlord. "In fact-here, SIR"
1 turned, following his glance, and
saw, descending the stairs, who seemed
to be Jane but Jane in fine raiment and
furs, followed by a young woman who
was obviously lady's maid. And this

what was quite obvious
"And these three poor fellows at the
station would have kept Christmas
with their wives and families" l said
refiectively. "It must be dull for them
there, and they can only be in the
station masters way"
Then, musing upon the untoward fate
of the railway men, caused by my de-
sire to reach Heatherside Hall, oril-
liant idea seized upon me.
"Jane! exclaimed, II wonder If the
resources of this establishment would
admit of my giving the three railway
men their Christmas dinner?"
"I have no doubt they would, sir,
but I will speak to Mr.. Thornthwaite,"
she answered, and left the room-to

ment that Mr.. Thorntwaite said that
he could dine a regiment If need be,
and that If 1 would only let him know
what time the men would dine he
would set a room apart for them and
have all in readiness.
It was a fine tonic to get out into
that sunlit winter morning and strug-
gle through the dry snow to the sta
tion. l found the castaways playing
cards in the little booking office and
trying to be as happy as possible.
They were all obviously delighted to
receive my invitation, and at 1 o'clock
presented themselves at the Woolpack,
where the landlord had prepared cozy
room for them and waited on them h M
self, helped by a rosy-cheeked maiden
whose plump arms looked cdpaole Oh
supporting a baron of beef. AS for
Jane, she ministered to my comfort
in the coffee room and was as deft
and smart as ever.
"I wish, Jane" I said, as my own
Christmas dinner came to an end, that
1 had some means of amusing these
men for an hour or so. There seems
to be nothing but the billiard table,"
She considered this proposal In
silence for a moment, and then she
said, in her usual calm fashion:
"If you think 1t would give them any
pleasure, sir, I should be happy to sing
to them-there is a good piano in the
room where they have dined." ~
