in regard to one phase of the problem
II is not right for the taxpayers money
to be spent on the boys and girls IN the
high school without some return on the

turn when boys and girls profit ly the IN,
struction given IN the high school ana
the majority are thus prohtlng. II Is not
right for the taxpayers money to be spent
on athletics for boys who will not give

the conclusion that the boys who expect
TO proft from the instruction gwen by our
athletic coaches must go into training

say: "All right I'll come. 1 am now
at Twenty-third street and Broadway.
I'll be up in about half an hour"
"That chap seems to have lost his
bearings" said man who had over
heard the error in locality.
HE knows where he Is all right"
said a drug clerk. Hes just putting
up bluff. 1t is quite a common bluff.
Men who have a mighty high regard
for truth at all other times do not hest
tate to tell whopper about where
they are when talking over the tele-
phone. | have heard persons swear
over that wire that they were tele-
phoning from points all the way from
Hoboken to Amityville. They were
not seasoned liars. either: just wanted
a few minutes grace apparently and
thought the easiest way to get it was
to make out they we're a mile or two
farther away than they really were."-

: THE MAKING OF :

1t requires certain amount of tact,
some common sense and an abundance
of courage to get out a country paper
There are a number of people in every
according to their ideals, and some
times these ideals are directly OPP
posite to good, newspaper common
sense. Some want a newspaper with
an editorial page well filled with time
~ local mention or suggestion and
others want the columns filled with
purely personal, no matter how trivial
the news, if it can be called news,
might be.
The people have been educated to
believe, in many localities, that a
newspaper should contain great deal
of the sensational in order to make it
spicy and of interest. There is no
use in the exchange of words, there
are a whole lot of people who still
clamor for a sprinkle of yellow jour
nalism and they will not be satisfied
with anything else, no matter how
much the paper talks in opposition
1t is a little strange that some people
hunger for such things. Usually they
are of class that look upon life the
wrong way and they ever delight in
the dark side of the picture. There
is another class who want the bright,
the good and the helpful every week.

get that kind of reading material every

HOTELS IN PORTUGAL.
Paying Ones Bill There Becomes a
Duel In Politeness,

When travelling for the first time in
Portugal one is apt to become exas-
perated when he desires to settle up
with his landlord at the hotel. When
the traveller asks how much his bill is
the landlord bows graciously, smiles
suavely, rubs his hands together and
replies that the bill is as much as the
guest wishes to contribute.
This is simply the opening of a duel
of politeness. for the hardened traveller
at once thanks the landlord for his con-
fidence in him and again very courte-
ously asks for detailed statement Of
his account. Still the bill is not forth
coming. for the landlord declares that
he does not wish to insult his guest in
any such manner. Finally the land
lord does reckon up the charges on his
fingers. When he has finished he asks
the traveller how much the sum total
is. If the traveller hasn't kept track OF
it the landlord very laboriously goes
over the account again. If the guest
has footed up the bill the landlord is
sure that it cannot be so much and in
sists on a re-reckoning. The result is
the same. and the landlord invariably
needs to bring two or three more fin
gers into use for items that had been
accidentally omitted.
Needless to state. the traveller not
hardened to this process breathes
deep sigh of relief when he escapes"
