New York and the Surf.

Few New Workers. ever stop to think
that one Of that city's chief attractions
is the surf. Philadelphians must go
ffty-six miles to the ocean. Though
the folk Of Baltimore and Washington
live on tidewater, they must travel for
surf bathing to the capes. Boston Is
the only other large town on the At
lantic seaboard besides New York that
has the ocean at its back door. San
Francisco and Los Angeles are the
only Pacific coast cities within trolley
ride Of ocean beach. None OF the Mex
tcan gulf cities can be compared to
New York as a seaside resort and as
to New Orleans. another Mecca OF the
pleasure seekers, that lies more than
100 miles above the mouth Of the Mis-
sissippi But. including Coney Island
and Rockaway. a good many miles OF
Greater New York are bounded BY the
ocean. This fact, just to consider the
money making side Of it. means an
enormous revenue to the metropolis
from the inland parts of the country
1t IS an advantage other great world
centers; such as London. Paris and
Berlin, do not enjoy.-Argonaut

The Restaurant PieeoIo.

Writing from Dresden, an American
says: %There is at least one thing in
a German restaurant for which one
would look in vain in our country.
That is the piccolo. You may think
that I mean a musical instrument and
that any orchestra In any country
might have one Of these, but you are
wrong. My piccolo, the one at the
restaurant, Ia a human being. he Is
a boy twelve to fifteen years old, who
assists the regular walters. he wears
the regulation walters costume and
looks funny in his spiketail coat. he
Is as solemn Us a funeral, knows how
to extract a tip and for the high priv
ilege of retaining his place and taking
his first degree as a waiter must en-
dure much abuse at the hands Of the

LeavenwOrth Mans Research Brings
Out Facts Regarding Grandmother.

Leavenworth, Kan, Dec. 28-Jud
Haskins has recently received several
letters from eastern relatives, who
have been engaged in looking up his
mothers family tree, his mother hav-
ing been Miss Pomeroy of North
ampton, Mass, and belonging to one
of the old colonial families of the
New England states. The relative has
found out one item of interest that Mr..
Haskins had not known before, name
ly. that his great grandmother was
taken captive by the Indians when a
little girl, but was later found by her
parents and returned home, where she
grew to womanhood, and later was
married, one of her daughters being
the grandmother of Mr.. Haskins. The
incident happened in the terrible Pas
commuck massacre, which occurred
May "a, 1904. and will be well re-
membered by people familiar with
New England history.

SCHOOL HAS MINIATURE WAR.
Climax Will Be Reached Monday
When Vacation Days Close.

lola, Kan, Dec. 2S.-There is trou-
BILE in the East Union school, near
Elsmore. On one side is Miss M.
Creta Booth and her followers. On
the other Miss Ruth Winger and her
adherents. Thirty pupils of the school
are interested onlookers. Mrs. Maude
Funston, county superintendent, and
the members of the district school
board are involved from an official
standpoint. Trouble has been brew
ing at the Union school for some time
and no settlement of the controversy,
which threatens to disrupt the school,
is in sight at this time.
Some two weeks ago, according to
a report, some mischievous pupil in
dulged a capricious tendency by throw
ing corn about the school room. No
body knew much about the perpetra-
tors of the offense, and it is said that
Miss Booth, who was in charge of the
sthoi at the ilne, started ,at t" lex
the whole outfit in order to catch the
guilty party. Before she had proceed
ed far the pupils fled, leaving the
schol room deserted save for the
teacher. Finally Mrs. Funston, coun-
ty superintendent, was summoned to a
conference with the board of directors
of the school Following this meeting,
at which a number of charges were
heard and discussed. it was decided to
ask Miss Booth to resign, which, the
superintendent says she did. Miss
Ruth Winger of Humboldt was ap-
pointed her successor. But by time for
school to convene last Monday it ap-
pears Miss Booth reconsidered her
resignation. She was present to con-
vene the school. Miss Winger appear
ed and dismissed it. There was no
session of the school in the week
Miss Booth notified the county su-
perintendent that she had withdrawn
her resignation, but Mrs. Funston says
the school board still has it. The
climax, however, will be reached next
Monday, when the school is scheduled
to reconvene. Miss Booths friends de-
clare that she will teach that school.
Miss Winger's supporters say that she
will. Patrons of the school have
taken sides in the controversy. and a
legal contest is likely to result.

Usage GIRL KILLS SELF.
Takes Death Plunge Into Well AT
Kansas City.

Kansas City, Dec. 2S.-Despondent
because, it is believed, of i'll health,
Miss Lille Hanson, II years old, of
Usage City, Kan, committed suicide
by leaping into a well here. Her body
was found Tuesday.
Before leaving her boarding place
here she wrote note warning her
friends that they might never see her
alive again. The girl had suffered
from typhoid fever.
The girls skull was crushed when it
struck the wall of the well. This in
jury led to an unfounded suspicion
that Miss Hanson had been murdered.
