The member of the board of eanca-

made little speech t@ the children on
the Importance Of correct pronuneia-i

wrote the word tneinous' on the.

.'Haynus!'' shouted the ehildren In

Miss Guernsey sasa the visitor,
turning suspfcieusly to the teacher.
'how did you know was going to try
them on that?'
II didn't know it, Mr.. Judson,' she.
answered. "hut I am something of a
crank ON pronunciation myself, and
we have frequent drills OH words.
You will find that these children know
how to pronounce exquisite, despica-

tor, naivete. sacrifice. genealogy. pro-
gram, gerrymander, discipline, paresis,

together with many others that do not
occur TO me just now"
81 See said the official visitor, up
certain whether to be crestfallen or
elated, that these youngsters don't
need any lesson on pronunciation from
me anyhow" And he took his hat
and departed Youths Companion.

Of mercy in him, drove his wagon to
a coal car and dumped about half d
ton of coal into it aud delivered it IN
front of the shack Having made Il
fire and given the child a dollar to buy
something nourishiug for its mother
he started home.
Then he was arrested.
The stalwart teamster, hegrimps

The prosecutor and the railroad O..
tective who arrested Vent insisted
he should be locked up and held for
trial
Finally the judge said:
IF you took the coal for the ponY
sick woman it was a generous thing
to do. You had no right to take tha
coal. though. You are discharged"
Now, was Frank Wentz thief?
Did the judge do right i'm dischare-
ing him from custody? Does the end
