UNCONSCIOUS HUMOR
 IN MATTERS OFFICIAL
Expert Technical Knowledge Required
 in the Splitting of Hairs.

Nearly all differences in this world depend upon the viewpoint rather than the imperfections of the logic used. IL is largely matter of premises A fine illustration is found in the recent of ficial correspondence between Colonel U. F. Mahoney superintendent of the industrial school. and RObt. A. Craig, secretary Of the board of control The colonel is known tO all his friends as a natural humorist and the funniest thing about thIs correspondence Is that t was all in dead earnest. II also illus trates that the distinctions of the law are quite often without differences. The law provides a fund for the 'rlainten- ance" of the industrial school and an other fund for the Improvement" of the school. Superintendent Mahoney is supposed to write his demands on whichever fund the nature of his pur- chases indicates as the proper enc.
 A short time ago he bought various and sundry articles and sent in the bills against the improvement fund. The board of control sent them back directing that they should be charged to the maintenance fund. The colonel accepted the ultimatum and agreed to play the game, but the letter he sent in reply shows that he was far from convinced that he had made a mistake and it is not certain that if the ques- ton were left to popular referendum his attitude would be supported by a majority of the people. Here is his letter:
