teeth seemed regular, but not clean.

A FEAST THAT FAILED.
The Story Of Raccoon That Was
Not Served For Breakfast.

In the old days, and not so very
old either, the custom Of school
teachers Boarding around" was the
usual thing in country districts. Al
though a custom which teachers sell
dom liked, it is doubtful if many Of
them had as hard a time as a young
schoolmaster who described his ex.
perience in the New england Gal

ten by Leonard Apthorp, then an
undergraduate Of Bowdoin college.
The young schoolmaster was to re-
ceive SIS a month and his board:
From the first day perceived
that ! was at board on speculation
and at the mercy of close calcula.

dinner consisted Of a single dunn
ping, which they called pudding,
and FIVE sausages, which in cooking
shrunk to the size of pipestems.
There were five of us at the table.
A few days afterward on my re-
turn from school my eyes were de-
lighted by the sight of an animal |
had never seen before. 1t was a
raccoon, which the young man, JON
athan, had killed and brought home

lowing the disaster in which SO many
people lost their lives at Green Noun

railroad men whom he called into CON

they were. The men, who are old
and experienced employee or tie Rock
Island system, told him that the COM
pany tracks are in bad condition and
that the motive power is in even
worse condition. While the Green
Mountain wreck was not on Rock Is

in regard TO the condition of the equip

thought of running engines backward
The trainmen suggested to Manager
Melcher the need of more attention to
the proper maintenance OF right-of-

The Holy Roman Catholic church
whether We like il or dislike it. still
must be admitted by serious-nlinded
persons of every faith to be the
cement that is holding civilization
together. For if the influence of the
Catholic church were removed, bar
tsarisaa and anarchy would arise

OF civilization to the Catholic church
is the, greatest single debt in the
world. Reverence is due to this
great fundamental force in modern

striving, becomes the brother Of all

of laxity and while these have exerted
a large influence in the world under
