Very Likely.

The case concerned a will, and
an Irishman was witness.
Was the deceased, asked the
lawyer, in the habit of talking to
himself when he was alone?
I don't know, was the reply.
Come, come, You kon't know,
and yet you pretend that you
were intimately acquainted with
him?
Well, sir, said Pat, dryly, /
never happened to be with him
when he was alone.

MAKE APPEAL FOR FUNDS.
Trustees of VT. Ncrinon boys School
Ask Financial Aid.

The recent destruction by fire of Cross
ley hali, at the Mount Hermon Boys
school, the Dwight l.. Moody institution
Il East Mortified. Mass. has made ne
cessarv an appeal to philosophical men
and women of tho state. asking for
funds with which to rebuild.
\ letter has been sent out explaining
the circumstances that have given rise to
This appeal. The communication deserves
attention. and the great work that the
school has done renders the cause worthy
OF generous support. The letter is as fol-
lows:
East Mortified. Mass, April q. 1911.
Dear Friend:--The destruction OF Cross
icy hall our largest dormitory at Mount
IierInon boys' school, has greatly increas-
ed the budget for the present academic
:'ear. Instead Of 10000, which we ex-
pectcd to have to raise. this has suddenly
been increased 10 $4,000
When erected in 1886 it cost $4,000 It
vas insured for 81 per cent of this
amount But to rebuild now will be very
much more expensive. and our trustees
also feel that. in erecting so largo a
duimitory again, they would not be war
ranted in building anything but a fire
proof building Thus we find II necessary
to seek 5000. IN addition to the SIS 900
we shall receive from Insurance.
We must not defer action lest tho work
he seriously impaired I'm efficiency and
we are thus seeking to raise the neces-
sary funds while tho building is in course
OF construction. The urgency Of our need
al this time impcls US to make a very
strong appeal to Christian friends

This view of publicity as fostering crime
differs radically from that expressed by
Or, Charles W. Eliot in his suggestion Of

We will welcome any movement which
will kill secrecy in the community"
What is a conscientious editor to do in

lies? DR. Eliot is a highly reputable citi-
