Traer, April 1.LThere is new
daughter at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Andrew Whannel, two miles west of
town, born Tuesday
"A large number of farmers in this
locality have commenced their spring
blowing.
Miss Nellie Stevenson, stenographer
for B. F. Thomas & Sons, is spend
ing the week with her sister, Mrs.
Waldo Kahler, in Denison.
Six petitions We're circulated yester-
day by various electors Of the indie
pendent school district of Traer, ask
ing the directors that an election be
called for the purpose Of voting on
the proposition of authorizing the con-
tracing of Indebtedness in excess of
Ia per cent, and not in excess of 21s
per cent of the actual value of the tax
able property in said district, and for
the issuance of bonds for said indebt-
edness not to exceed 100000, for the
purpose of building and furnishing a
new school house, and procuring adj
ditional grounds for a site therefor.
Without such an election, only u per
cent of the actual value of the tax
able property can be taxed for school
building purposes, and this would be
inadequate to raise $4,000, which
amount is necessary for the erection
and equipment of new building. The
old school house has been overcrowded
for seven or eight years, and it has
already been necessary to purchase an
old store building and fix the same up
for school room for one of the grades.
This year. the building is more crowd
ed than ever, and it now becomes
necessary not only to hire an extra
teacher for the ensuing year. but also
to rent another vacant building. The
mass of the people are in favor of a
new schoolhouse and the petitions are
being readily signed.

Mascagni. the famous composer.
was once asked to entertain The royal
court in Rome. He did so and de
lighted his audience. When he finished
playing he started a conversation with
n little princess who had stood near
the piano during the recital and had
shown every sign of deep interest. AS
n matter of fact, she had been IN,
strueted by her mother to say, if any
question should be asked. TINT Mas
cagni was the greatest musician In
Italy,
The composer asked her which Of
the great living masters she liked best,
and the proud mother turned toward
the child to hear the pretty little
speech Which had been taught her
Instead of the compliment came the
whitening remark:
'There are no great masters living,
They are all dead"
The musician gave n little start and
then said:
Your excellency. permit me TO cen
graduate you. You are the most truth
full critic in Europe"
