EAST BILL GOES

When the subject of travel was mentioned. how- ever, ,Nickie. was prose to talk, ana spoke most interestingiy about the many places he had been. He did not say whence he came. Tn the meantime while the interesting visiror was rest ing on the bunk. the bill was being closely examined.
 It looked as if 1t had been carried in one cramped position for days. The creases were all well made where " had been carefully folded.
 In several places 1t was beginning to wear.
 Station Sergeant Lindsay declared he was going to persuade the man 10 take a new bill in It's stead. and keep 1t as a souvenir. putting It in frame
 Several who happened to see the cer- tihcate offered to buy 1t. but the ser resnt declared it was his ma.
 Tn order to keep 1t in a place of safe- ty. the sergeant put 1t in the money drawer with the fines and collateral fees" and then shut the drawer se- cureiy.
 shortly afterward those who had been fined in the police court began 70 file in the sergeant's office 10 pay tneir fines. The seregants desk became busy place and the sergeant became busy man. Telephones began to ring, the people were clamoring to pay their lines and get away.
 The drawer in which the dollar bill had been placed was opened and shut a dozen times and change was made as many times.
 The city had in the meantime taken in s100. and the sergeant in his hurry to accommodate those waiting to pay fines. had given out the interesting bill as change He did not discover what he had done until reporter asked to see 1t, and when he opened the drawer, it was gone. He counted the money. and the balance was cor rect, but the dollar bill was gone. Some one who got change at the police sta ton on that day got 1t. and probably spent 1t again without noticing what was on it.
 When Nickle was aroused about o'clock he was told that he would have to accept another bill in the place of the one he had given the sergeant He only smiled, took the new bill and went away.

1nauatr,nI Education.

A committee of the National CIVIC Federation, to discuss plans for indus- trial education, is soon to meet in Washington John Mitchell said of Its purpose. "In a general way we plan to make the industrial educational sys- tems of the various localities distinct from cultural education. We do not plan anything in connection with the primary school system at all. We aim to take hold of the children when they finish primary schools at about the age of 14. and give them four-year course in our schools. These schools would have to be part of the educa- tIonal system in a way, because they would be public schools supported by the public. The subjects to be taught would depend upon the industrial cir- cumstances of the locality. For in- stance, where there Is a shoe vicAn- ity, there would be a shoe trade school. Where there are textile works there should be textile schools

Rat DETERMINATION In Manitoba.

Consul General John Edward Jones, o.
Winnipeg. reports that active measures
arc being taken by he Manitoba overn.
mont to rid the province of rats. which
made their appearance in the grain fields
and granaries last spring.
Through the cooperation of the chem
0ts at the agricultural college In Winni-
peg. . virus has been produced, which, 1t II
claimed, Ia fatal to rats and easily COM
municable to others. AS the rodents when
uncovered had already made their way
into the fields, this method OF Kidding the
country was deemed most eficacious. The
virus produces a fatal fever in the rodents,
which much resembles typhoid. 1t was
found impracticable to distribute this
virus broadcast to farmers, so a supply
has been sent to the secretaries of the
various municipalities together with In
.structions for use.

Messenser Boys Button Dresses.

A new use has been found for the
ubiquitous messenger boy In London.
He answers calls to button women's
dresses up the back. The charge for
the work Is IL cents. and the boys have
proved competent substitutes in this
connection for maids or grumbling
husbands. The innovation was brought
about by a husband who asked as
sistalice OF the messenger service, ex-
planning his wife's maid suddenly had
tax en- her departure and that he was
unable to do the b%uttoning because Of
q broken finger. A boy was sent to
the house and the incident got into the
newspapers. Afterward many women
placed orders for boys to be sent regu-
Iarly to do the back buttoning. The
boys themselves do not like the new
DUTY, not because OF the work itself,
but because the women are stingy with
their tbs.
