This is the sad narrative Of how
Archibald Willingham Butt. a major
in the United States army. and mill
tary aide to the president. cast a
boot. The thing was done before the
admiring gaze of a crowd. in a bril-
liantly lighted theater. without the
aid Of wires, and in perfect form. The
president was to occupy a meZZanine
box. and Butt stood at the head OF
the stairs leading to Mr.. Taft's place.
The electric light shone warmly on
the red carpeted steps, and toward
that particular locality were turned
the eyes Of everybody In the house.
When the president entered the
theater. Major Butt. in gold braid and
with clanking sword, started a dash
down the stairway. As he did so. the
patent leather, low-cut shoe that he
wore on his left foot flew into the air
like a boomerang, wavered. glided
downward, and struck the steps, down
which it rolled to the floor.
There stood the president. There
stood Butt with n shoe of and one
shoe on. Then the president laughed.
So did the whole house-that is. ev-
erybody except Butt. He merely serv-
ed as the butt OF the-But why pur-

School Officers Meeting
Large Attendance and Great Interest
Exhibited at the Ann ual Gathering

One of the best attended school Off
cers meetings ever held in the county
vas that at the high school building

GERS from the different parts of the
county being present.
The morning session being devoted
to informal talks or the requirements

and it Vas developed that quite a mum
Der OF schools are provided with
improved heating and ventilating fix
lures and that in every case they are
proving satisfactorily.
In the afternoon State Superintend-
ent G G.. Lawrence addressed the
meeting, and pleaded that the best
possible advantages should be given
the children of the rural schools, and
advocated the plan of consolidated
centarl SCHOOL,, either by a system of
central high schools Or by high
schools and grades together. He alio
advocated the industrial education of
the children. and that the line of
teaching should be along hat Of
scientific farming, illustrating it's ben
lift by comparing the crops raised by
the EUROPEAN farmer, with conditions
compelling him to get The utmost re-
turns from his land. and the crops
raised by the slip shOd methods on
Our western farms. He also told OF
now the study of corn raising had inn
proved and enlarged the corn crop
1 a number OF the counties in the
southern part of the state, and that
boy of the schools had entered into
contests of corn raising and were
making great progress in this lndust-
ry. Later in the meeting County SUI
pertinent Purdy suggested thai a corn
contest among the boys of the rural
schools be inaugurated in the count.
this year, and the officers present vOt-
ed unanimously to see hat an appro-
priation of IS was made by their dist
riots to provide a fund for prizes and
expense of conducting the contest.
The superintendent intends to divide
the county into districts, the dividing
line being the hills, and the east and
west districts will contest among them
selves. The county superintendent
will secure seed for the 80 schools in
the county and attend to the distribu-
ton.
While several of those on the pro-
gram were unable to be present, Prof.
Il. G.. Souder of Big Stone gave a
very useful and practical talk on
''school environment" in which the
educative force of proper surround
ings was very cl arly brought GU,
and impressed upon those present.

MECHANICS ON THE RECORDS
They Appear Frequently in Legal Doc
uments Of the Early Days in
New York.

Mechanics are not likely to go out
remains what it is. SchoolbOys will
nickname each other, %collegians will
nickname their professors and sol
diers will speak of their commanders
as "Hell-Fire Bill" Fighting Joe" Or
what not. In these days, however, it
is not customary TO spread such titles
upon official records as was formerly
the habit, according to the archives
of several Of our states.
In the Dutch records, in 1914. we
have John Petersen, alias Friend
John. In the Newtown purchase from
the Indians, dated in 1856. one OF the
boundaries Is "by a Dutchman's land
called the Hans the Boore," and in
the Bushwick patent, dated October
IL, 1867, one of the boundaries is
John the Swede's meadow" IE 1895,
in the Kings county records, a man is
named living at Gowanus as "Tunis
the Fisher"
The common council of New York.
In 1891, ordered fish to be brought
into the dock over against the city
hall. or the house that Long Mary
formerly lived in." and in the same
year an order was passed that Top-
Knot Betty and her children be pro-
vided for as objects Of charity"
The explanation of this custom, in
many cases. was that the persons in
question either had no family names
or had forgotten them, so that the
use of their generally accepted nick
became a necessity. So numer-
Gus were the Smiths living upon Long
Island that it was thought necessary
to distinguish the various original
families by some peculiar name. Thus
we have the Rock Smiths, the Blue
Smiths, the Bull Smiths and the
Weight Smiths.-Harper's Weekly.
