What Il Really Was,

The district inspector was visiting
the school. and as this was an impor.
tant event the pupils had been in
structed to memorize a verse or two to
recite for the entertainment of the Wis
itor.
During the delivery Of his verse one
small boy was especially noticeable for
the action with which he accompanied
his lines, so noticeable that the teacher
complimented him upon the ease with
which he spoke and the practice which
he must have devoted to the piece.
"It was fine. Johnnie" she exclaimed
In closing, land shows a large amount
Of rehearsal. But how did you learn
the gestures?"
"'Tain't gestures" replied the young
genius. with twist; "it's the hives.

wipe us out at the next election. The
best way 10 capture the Commission

Commission in existence. is to make
the Commission elective by popular
vote. We have introduced various
bills for that purpose at Albany. but
in the present state of public opinion
We can't pass them. To change the
popular attitude we ought TO make a
campaign for getting that commits.
