SCHOOLS.

Quaint Customs That Are Main
tanned with Religious Care.
The head master of Manchester
Grammar School, in a speech at Roch-
dale, referred to a custom at Rugby
School which forbids a boy of less
than three years, standing to turn up
his trousers and insists on his doing
SO after that period.
The custom is only a minor instance
of the quaint practices that exist at
all the great public schools in Eng
land and are maintained with relig-
ious care, though in many cases their
origin is obscure or unknown. The
Shrove Tuesday tossing of the pam
cake at Westminster School, with its
ensuing scramble for the largest frag-
ment, which gains for its possessor a
guinea from the dean, Is perhaps the
best known among them. A curious
custom at Marlborough requires every
boy to bring to school with him a
cushion, technically termed a "kish"-
with the 81" long. This article is his
Iinseparable companion in school time
and, in addition to the ordinary func.

her face whitened ~perceptibly. She

with whom she had spent the time.
AS she was not at liberty to give a
full explanation her heart sank with

Betty, what else can l think? You
admit you went motoring with Cap

car breaking down you did not reach

not 1t proof enough?"

A MAN WHO "MovED ON"
Observation-Disclosures

A youth who, as early in life as ne
is a free man, decides to work for
himself often lays the foundation OF
q fortune sooner than his comrade
who is willing to occupy a more de-
pendent position. One man, now a
very rich cattleman of Texas, possess
ing lands which are more thar suttl-
cient in extent to make German pr1n-
cipality, owed his independent start
in life to an uncomplimentary remark
which his mistress made about him.
The man, who was a poor farmers
boy in Rhode Island before the Civil
his fortune while he was still a callow
youth. But although he was callow
he was extremely long-legged, and
this circumstance won him immedi-
ately the name of "Shanghai," by
which he was almost exclusively
known to his friends in that part of
the world.
He himself now tells how, on his
arrival in Texas, he went to work
for a farmer who had several slaves.
There was 10 one on the place except
Shanghai and a negro named Pete
who could ride a certain horse, and
1t often fell to Shanghai's lot to
mount this fractions beast. But n
day it happened that when Pete was
on the horse, it threw him and then
fell on him.
This happened neal the planters
house. The planter and his wife and
several attendants ran out to the as
sistance of the negro, who appeared to
be dead. AS soon as she saw the slave
lying senseless, the oma cried out:
20 dear, how unfortunate! There's
an Observation-Disclosures negro killed!
Now If it had only been Shanghai, it
wouldn't have made any difference"
Shanghai was in hearing Of this
eminently economic remark, and he at
once said to himself, IF I'm not worth
Is much as a negro slave, I guess I'll
move on to some place where I a
make myself worth it."
He moved on to the plains, en-
gagged at first in a small way in the
cattle business, later furnished cattle
in great quantities to the Confederate
army during the war, and eventually
grew very rich.

banging of the front door reused her
from her reverie, and rising from her
chair she flung her arms above her
head and sighed YEARLY.
"Heigh-ho! This comes of playing
the good fairy to ones friends" she
thought. She wondered If Jim would
have said those unkind things had he
known the circumstances? Would he
have accused her Of going off with
Captain Carstairs If he had known
that he was his own sisters fiance.

Betty, rising to meet her friend.

you both were gone he even said,
Well, after all, Carstairs can't be such
a bad fellow or Betty would not be
friends with him. So you see, dear,
I've Just come to thank you again for
all you've done for us both" And
lmpulsively Joan put her arms round
her friends neck and gave her a fran
tic hug.
When her enthusiasm had somewhat
abated Betty gently pushed her friend
away, and placing her hands upon her
shoulders said, Joan, dear; I'm glad
I've been able to help you; but do
you know my help has been dearly

SOME MARRIED MED1TAT1oNs.
By Clarence L. Cullen.

Don't tell a needless lie. Save it up
for the big occasion, when. closely
pressed, you'll imperatively need it.
1t is a self-evident proposition that
when a woman boasts that she pos.
sesses a sense OF humor she doesn't.
In essence the trial marriage idea
is intended to give the parties to the
limitations.
Ever notice that it's only the woman
with the fine big mop of hair who sits
in the front window to dry 1t after
washing 1t?
That cheerful, dimpled maiden, Miss
Affinity, has little or no trouble in ce.
menting a bond with the husband Of
a whining wife.
Eventually you'll find out that, when
your mother-in-law takes your end Of
it in an argument with you wife. the
situation hasn't improved 10 cents
worth.
When an i~ll-considered marriage
goes into bankruptcy it is called a df.
vorce, and alimony is the liquidation
for the benefit of the one preferred
creditor.
If her white petticoat protrudes be-
low her overskirt, don't tell her 50 I'M
less she asks you, for IL you do she'll
bark at you as If you were personally
responsible for it.
The woman who writes the essays
upon What Man Owes to Woman
often is the roma who feeds her hus-
band exclusively upon junk from the
delicatessen shop.
They pull their bubbles hair only in
the comic supplements. They have
more subtle and grueling methods Of
evening up score than by engaging
in hi hirsute-yanking comedy.
