EXERCISES AT
 FLETCHER SCHOOL.

The closing exercises or the fletcneI School of Music were held in the par lors of the school Monday and Tusday evening, the primary classes giving a flower fete the first night.
 The roomy and attractive parlors and halls were filled to overf1owing. The front parlor was turned into veritable flower garden, even the walls being converted into trellises of green vines and bright blossoms. But the sweetest flowers of the garden were the pupils who each impersonated her favorite blossom in dress and color, and with A wreath of the real flowers on her head. practical lesson was taught in each number on the programme. At the ringing of the heath CT bells the flowers assembled and gave the well coming song, whose musical lessons were time and rythm, expressed by swinging motions and gliding steps. First Messengers of Spring. were several piano numbers by little folks who made their first appearance in public, as bearers of musical mes- sage. Song of the Butterfly" was de- scriptive, the glittering, winged little butterfly standing in front and fitting from place to place as the chorus of flowers sang of its beauty. Forget menot Trio" followed, being a piano selection by 6 and 6-year- pupils. The song "Clover Party" was followed by the descriptive piano numbersl Red Rose" sweet Violet" "Minionette,"

 Very unique was the line of boys representing gardeners. The Cradle Song" was gem and of unusual in- terest. because of the fact that it was composed, both words and music by one of the 6-year-old pupils. The Last Rose of Summer was repre- sented by one of the tiniest of the class, while the song was sung by the sunfiower chorus.

 Tuesday night came the second re- cital of the Fletcher school.

We've had amounts all the way from
a nickel to $3.50 left lying where
we've placed it, because when people
near the ferry they seem to forget
everything in the world, except the one
impelling fact that they must make
a certain boat, and nine cases out of
ten there's no particular reason why
rush, that's all. If a man who's left
a small amount of change comes back
Immediately he usually gets his money
because, though we haven't time to
to be the right one; but the majority
of those who drop small amounts by
leaving them, never do come back.
They're ashamed to have any one know
that they haven't been wide awake,
and so, though we keep it for them for
a reasonable time, lots of people prefer
to lose the few cents rather than re-
turn. But in the case of a large
amount we generally take pretty

that the majority of people seem to
think we short change them on pur-

rage at finding themselves short and
accuse me of deliberately giving them
wrong change. 1t infuriates me,
though don't show 1t, for it's part of
our duty to be just as courteous and
civil as the public will let us, but to
be dubbed a nickel snatcher isn't one
of the pleasantest things imaginable.
If the public stopped to realize that
the company pays us good salaries for
selling these tickets and that we don't
have to snatch nickels for a living,
perhaps 1t would be slower to make
such assertions Actually, I have kept
