SCHOOL AND COLLEGE.

The honor parts at Edward Little
High school of Auburn and also the
names of the 10 pupils having the
highest rank were announced Tuesday
by Principal Moulton. TO Rachael
Wnship goes the valedictory and to
Addie Hammond the salutatory. Helen
Wallngford has the essay and Ed
ward Shaw, the ofation, the two parts
going to the boy and girl have the
rank next to that of the Valedictorian
and Salutatorian. The 10 having the
highest rank are classed in the order
named: Miss Winship, with an aver
age for the four Years of $50; Miss
Hammond, Miss Wallngford, Irma
Stevens, Glennie Berry, Ruby Fuller,
Lucy Merrill, Eva Chapman, Helen
Norris and Edward Shaw. Mildred
Luce, who was obliged to leave school
would have been among the highest
To- 1t will be noticed that only one
boy appears in the 10 having the high
est rank.
The parts for the graduation of the
class of 1911, kennebunkport High,
have been given out: Salutatory,
Marion Chick; prophecy, Isabel Rus
sell; history, Hazel Clough; valedic-
tory, Ruth Welch.
The school officials of Dexter have
named the dates for the annual school
exhibition and fair, and April q and
2S, are the days upon which the event
will be held. 1t will take place as
usual, in the town hall and is expected
to excel all previous exhibitions at
tempted here. The teachers have been
busy for some weeks arranging for the
event and no pains are to be spared
to make it successful. Many of the
details will be under the direction of
Miss Mary j. Cowie, teacher of mus
ic and drawing in the schools. Unlike
other exhibitions held during the past
few years the daily work Of the pupils
Will be exhibited instead of special
work done for the purpose. In this
way, ii is expected that the public
can get better knowledge Of just
what the pupils are accomplishing
from day To day in the various depart
mcntS.

the most effectirc medicine

ate will decree that tariff changes of
radical nature must await the re-
port OF the tariff board to be submit
ted next winter.
With the presidential campaign
drawing near it is inevitable that po-
lIucal considerations will enter more
strongly than ever into the deliber-
ations of congress this summer. 1t
would be very natural for the demo-
cratic house to offer TO enact some
heavy tariff reductions. From one
end Of the country to the other con-
sumers are crying for reductions and
schedule X is pointed out as the deep
est dyed william of them all.
1t is very natural that the house
ways ana means committee suggest
\ so per cent reduction on wool: 1t
is possible too that the senate, which
is largely progressive these days, will
agree to a substantial reduction. But
it has not happened yet

AZ EFFICIENT BOARD.

4 look upon the management of
affairs Of state as big business pro-
position I will attack the problems
that come before me the same as if
I were employed in similar capacity
FOR big corporation"
These are the views of Ben W. Oh
colt, new secretary Of state whe en-
tered upon his duties yesterday fol-
lowing an appointment by Governor
West. They are good views for an
office holder to have.
It is true that the affairs Of the
state Of Oregon are very similar to
the affairs Of a great business insti-
trtion. This state expends something
like two million dollars per annum.
The money goes for the maintenance
OF the insane asylum, penitentiary ana
kindred institutions. It goes for the
enlargement and maintenance Of the
state institutions for higher educa-
tion. It goes TO promote and protect
certain lines Of industry within the
state, 10 maintain the national guard
and for other purposes.
In order to insure taxpayers value
received for the money thus expended
it is necessary to have state officials
who are honest and efficient and who
will administer affairs with the same
zcaIous care as though the state were
a corporation in which they were the
directors.
1t IS a fact which even their politi-
cal enemies cannot deny that the
members Of the present state board
are especially fitted for handling the
business of the board. Governor
West has had training as a banker
state land agent, and railroad com
missioner. His has been the school
of experience. state Treasurer Kay
f. also a particularly practical mar
a. is attesetd by his personal success
as a manufacturer. Mr.. Olcott, new
secretary Of state, has also been vel

for success lies in making good with
the people. Under the circumstance,

RIGHTEOUS INDIGNATION.

said the lawyer, peerlng over his
glasses at the worried little man in
front of him.
Yes, sir. I've stood just about all
l can. My wife's turned suffragette
and she is never at home"
1T is a pretty serious thing to
break up a family, you know. Don't
you think you had better try to make
the best of it for a while Perhaps
it is only a passing fad"
That's what 1 have been doing,

SOMETHING DOING,

a few days ago the school district
sold a 100000 bond issue and the
beard is now preparing to build the
new high school. The council COM
mittee has selected a $4,000 bridge
and if its selection is approved by the
council tomorrow night the steel will
soon be here for the new structure
at the foot of Main street. Pipe is
now on hand for laying the water
main to the branch asylum and work
is starting. At Salem the state archi.
tect is drawing plans for branch asy-
lum buildings to cost from $500, 200
o' 100000. Down at the Roundup
park carpenters are now busy erect
ing a grand stand that is so big one
can scarcely see from one end of the
structure to the other. On May 0
the people are going to vote for a
100000 mountain water supply and
for a change in the street improve
ment ordinance that will make more
street work possible.
Who says there is nothing doing in
the old town?

There were three stalls, and in eacn
stall a horse stamped and fdgeted.
Only n held their attention. This
was a mare on the extreme left, q
large gray animal with q curious black
patch on its near shoulder. The faces
. Of both men changed as they recog-
nized this distinguishing mark. and In
stinctively their eyes met. The coach
man rubbed away with less and less
purpose until his hands stood quite
still and his whole figure dropped In
irresistible dependency. AS he raised
his face, moved perhaps by that sense
Of q watchful presence to which all OF
US are more or less susceptible, they
were both surprised to see tears on IT.
The next instant be had started to his
feet and the bit Of harness had ratified
from his hands to the floor.
"Who are your he asked, with q
touch Of anger quite natural under the
circumstances. Cant you come in by
the door and not creep s%neaking up to
take a man at disadvantage
AS he spoke he dashed away the
tears with which his cheeks were still
wet.
Il thought a heap of my young mis-.
~tress," he added In evident apology for
this display of what such men call
weakness. 81 didn't know that 1T was
in me to cry for anything, but I find
that I can cry for her"
Hexford left his window, and Sweet.
water slid from his. Next minute they
met at the stable door.
Had luck" whispered the local of,
feer.
Enough to bring me here" acknowl
edged the other.
"Do you NEAR to this house or to
this stableT'
ITO this stable"
Have you heard that the horse was
out that night?"
"Yes; she was out"
"Who driving"
"Ah, that's the question:"
"This mar can't tell you"
But I'm going to talk to him for all
that"
"He wasn't here that night. He was
at a dance. He only knows that the
mare was out"
"But I'm going to talk to him."
May l come In too? I'll not inter
rupt. I've Just fifteen minutes to
spare"
Hexford threw open the stable door,
and they both walked In. The coach
man was not visible, but they could
hear him moving above, grumbling to
himself.
"Tn be down In a minute" he called
out as their steps sounded on the hard
wood floor.
Hexford sauntered over to the stalls.
Sweetwater stopped neal the doorway
and glanced very carefully about him.
Nothing seemed to escape his eye. He
even took the trouble to peer into a
waste bin and was just on the point Of
lifting down a bit of broken bottle
from an open cupboard when Brown
appeared dressed in his Sunday coat
and carrying a bunch Of fresh hot
house roses.

10 AhhA boi UOOty. i OOn I
know who you are or what you want
with me, but you're overstepping your
dooty," said the coachman.
Hes right" muttered Hexford.
Better let the fellow go. See, one of
the maids Is reckoning to him..
"He shall go and welcome If he will
tell me where he gets his taste for
this especial brand Of whisky"
Sweetwater had crossed to the cup
board and taken down the lower half
Of the broken bottle which had at
tracted his notice on his first entrance,
and was now holding 1t out, with q
qulzzical look at the departing coach
man.
Hexford was ct his shoulder with a
spring, and together they inspected
the label still sticking to 1t, which
was that OK the very rare and expen-
sive spirit found missing from the
clubhouse vault.
''This is a find" muttered Hexford
into his fellow detectives ear. Then.
with a quick move toward Zadok, he
shouted out:
you'd better answer that question
| Where did this bit Of broken bottle
tome from? They don't give you
whisky like this to drink
-That they don't" muttered the
eoachman, not so much abashed as
they had expected. And 1 wouldn't
care for it If they did. I found that
bit of bottle in the ash barrel outside
and fshed 1t out to put varnish In. 1

"Rroken this way?"
ayes; it's Just as good"

'rd rather do it myself and carry

Here, then. We're going to the
funeral too. You'd like tor This
latter in a whisper to Sweetwater.
The answer was a fervent one.
Nothing in all the world would please

Here is a suggestion for the person who does not sleep well in the
hot weather. 1t a sent IN by a doctor reader.
Most people have a notion that If they take a bath in the morning
1t must b e cold, and many people who do not have any too much vitality
shrink from that. Now a quick warm bath followed by q cold dash on
the face and shoulders is very refreshing especially if the sleep has not
been SO good as usual In fact 1t almost takes the place of a nights
sleep"

with the feeling of freshness and vigor that / lacked.

Of which opened a large A few
people were to be seer in this latter
place, and his first instinct was to
Join them; but, finding that a few min
utes yet remained before the hour set
for the services, he decided to i'm
prove them by a rapid glance about
this hall, which, for certain reasons
hardly as yet formulated in his own
mind, had a peculiar interest for him.
The most important object within
view, according to bis present judg-
ment, was the staircase which con-
nected 1t with the floor above, but II
you had asked bis eason for this con
clusion he would not have told you,
as Ranelagh might have done, that 1t
convenient approach to Carmel Cum
berland's room. His notice led him
next to q rack upon which hung sew
eral coats and a gentleman's hat.
He inspected the former and noted
that one was finished with a high col
lar. but he passed the latter by-it was
not a derby. The table stood next
the rack, and on It's top lay nothing
more interesting than q clothesbrush
and one o. two other insignificant OBJ
jects; but, with bis memory for de-
tails, he had recalled the keys which
one Of the maids had picked up ONE
where about this house and laid on a
hall table. II this were the hall and
this the table. then was every inch of
the latter's simple cloth covered top Of
the greatest importance in his eyes.
He had no further time for ever
these cursory Investigations. Hexford's
step could be heard on the veranda,
and Sweetwater was anxious to locate
himself before the officer came In. En-
tering the room before him, he crossed
to the small group clustered In Its
farther doorway. There were several
empty chairs In sight. but he passed
around them all to a dark and incon-
spicuous corner from which without
effort he could take In every room on
that f1oor-from the large parlor in
which the casket stood to the remotest
region Of the servants hall.
