MRS. ANGUS FARLEY, SR.

Mrs. Angus Farley, ST., aged 6S
years, died at $40 o'clock this morn
ing, at her home on Bouie street, after
an illness of short duration.
About week ago Mrs. Farley suf-
feerd an attack of la grippe, but her
condition was not considered such as
to occasion alarm until yesterday
morning, when she was attacked with
violent spell of nausea and vomit-
ing, the strain of which caused the
rupture of small blood vessel in the
brain, which produced paralysis AMI
death.
Up until the time of this recent ILL
ness Mrs. Farley enjoyed unusually
good health for one of her age. and
her death therefore was a great shocl:
to her family and friends.
Mrs. Farley was the mother of
Messrs. Matt, David, Angus and Neil
Farley, all of whom are residents OF
this city. She was a conscrated Chris.

Horrifyinq Discovery.

A certain Louisville social leader.

ty, to avoid identifying her, was told
by her husband over the telephone
that he would bring a number of
guests home to dinner. The party
was altogether unexpected and in all
the house, which has become noted
for the generous and sumptuous din
ners spread in it, there was not
enough food, says the Louisville
Times.
Mrs. County got busy at once and
instructed her cook to order certain
supplies while she planned the rest of
the dinner. A little later Mrs. Coun-
ty happened in the room where the
telephone was and was Mortified to
hear her cook talking ferociously into
the telephone, something as follows:

POLISHING UP THE JANITOR
Purpose OF Unique school in New
York Which viii Give Degree
Of an. j." to Graduates.

New Worthwhile New York's
small boys to the number of some
100000 have been attending school
Tor over a month now, it is not until
next week that the big boys-many of
them gray-headed-will begin to at
tend the city's most remarkable
school.
incidentally the opening of this
unique educational institution, which
las for its purpose nothing less than
the training of janitors, will also give
to the scholastic world a new degree
OF M. j. This degree, which will be
conferred on all graduates, is the alb
breviation standing for master OF
janitoring.
There will be no honorary degrees,
and the graduate will be put through
course which will instruct him in
all the details of the janitorial profess
sion, from repairing a broken eleva-
tor to plugging a leak in kitchen
boiler.
one feature of the new school
which will be most grateful innova-
ton to New Workers is that in which
janitorial etiquette is to be taught to
the destruction of the hoary janitor
joke. The organizers of the new
school, believing that one of the chief
requisites of the preesnt-day janitor
is the cultivation of a more courteous
attitude on his part toward his ten
ants, have decided to include in the
curriculum course in good manners.
Some of the things to be taught in
this connection will, 1t is thought, go
long way toward bringing about
more friendly relations between jan
ltor and tenant, especially on a frosty
morning, when the inhabitants of the
upper fisors find that the steam heat
has been turned off
After having received his diploma
the 1anitor of the future will have
many more accomplishments of the
Kind that are sure to be appreciated
by tenants in trouble He will, in fact,
be more or less of jack of all trades,
and, If all that is promised is carried
out by the educators, he will be alto.

The American Youth.

II the truth were told most young
American men are not especially inter-
esting. They do not keep up their
reading. They have a national OBJ
tundity when it comes to music, to art,
to literature, nor do many of them
take any Of these things at all serious
ly. The young among them are not
good conversationalists. Our cleverest
men are monologists pure and simple.
They lecture admirably. They are
born orators along modified lines They
are inevitable story tellers. None of
this is conversation, and women like
conversation, like its courtesies, which
at least pretend a little interest when
their turn comes in the game. Knowl-
edge of people and affairs outside our
own country prfcks more than one
bubbleR about our young men.-Anna
