WHEREIN DADDY WAS WRONG
Tommy Resented Injustice Done to
eaW, After Hs Had Proved
lts Temper.

Mr.. A., who was planning to
build an outdoor sleeping porch at the
back Of his house, had an expensive
new saw sent home from a hardware
store. He left his office early the next
afternoon, with the intention Of get
ting the porch well under way before
dinner; and, as he was very much IN
terested in doing the work himself, he
donned pair of overalls and went at
1t In good spirits. An hour or SO later
he came tramping into the house, his
face dark with evaporation, and flung
himself down in disgust.
That new saw bought isn't worth
5 CENTS" he stormed. why, the thing
won't cut butter!"
His small son Tommy looked up in
wide-eyed surprise
"oh, yea, 1t would, daddy" he said,
earnestly; why, Ted and l sawed a
whole brick in two with 1t Just this
morning!"-Harper's Magazine.

and vermin proof. The apertures for
ventilation are so arranged that YER
min cannot crawl up the sides
and enter them. and the openings
through which the mother hen and
the little chicks pass in and out
are in a slidable section, so that
the egress Of both, or Of the hen
only, can be cut off at will.
Even when closed, however, the ven
tilation is such that the air is always
pure. Another advantage of this coop
is that the top, bottom and sides are
detachable, and the whole affair can
be knocked down in an instant.

Commencement

The Senior class play Farm Folks
was thoroughly enjoyed by all. par.
ii culariy the comedy. The characters
were well selected and well worked
out. Mr.. Roddy as trainer is entitled
to great deal of credit for the hard
work and careful attention he gave to
the details of the play. Without go
ing into details it may be said that
every member OF the class performed
his part most creditably The pro-
ceeds amounted to S74 70 the expenses
being about $50.
The Commencement exercises at the
opera house began promptly at eight
thirty O'Clock. Following the invo-
cation by Rev. r. T. Bell the Glee club
of the High School sang the Spring
Song by Pinsutl which was well re-
ceived by the audience. Easily the

Stones Leading to Success 1t was a
timely and forceful message. He
showed by convincing argument how
essential to success the old fashioned
but necessary stepping stones punctual
ity, concentration method, thorough
ness, perseverance and pluck. His
ringing words will leave lasting i'm
preston on his hearers.
After the presentation of the class by
superintendent E. A. Lanning, Mr..
e. M. Moscript, President of the
Board of Education, delivered a short
but very appropriate speech of con-
graduation and presented the MEM
bers Of the class with the diplomas Of

The quartete by Messrs Funk, You+-

by Miss Winspear were we'll rendered
and thoroughly appreciated by all.
These pleasant exercises closed with a
penediction by the Rev. Father Nc
Cabe after which the graduates re-
ceived the congratulations of their
many friends.

Friday morning Daniel Ulfich motor

went in the tunnel near the King Bee.
and brought him out. His arm, leg
and other parts of the body we're very
mnch bruised and it was thought his
ankle was br oxen but it was consld-
erably bruised. 1t must have been
. very long and painful two hours y
more to be thus held withot being rble

to that class that endures suffering
with all possible fortitude and patience.
At last reports he wss doing well under
the conditions and it is hoped by all
who know him that he will make q

The Lucania Tunnel company
is advertising for leasers in its
properties. In conversation with
Supt. John McColl he stated that
the royalties required would be
extremely liberal as it was the de-
sire to get men to work who were
competent and who we're able to
make good out of their leases:
To assist and to encourage them
the royalties would be of such
scale as would appeal to them for
their reasona bleness. There are
lots of idle properties in this camp
that would be work ed under lease
if the royalties asked were not ex-
cessive. 1t would be b-tter for
owners and operators on one hand
and leasers on the other if such
matters were adjusted on fair
basis so that the leasers would
reap a good reward for their time
and risk while at the same time
the other party or parties would
be getting action on their invest
ment instead of letting the prop
erty remain idle, while at the same
time EN- ployment woulo be more
extended and the entire COM
munity benefited. The ex-
ample set by Mr.. McColl IN
this matter is we'll worthy OF
imitation. The equipment at the
Lucania is complete for furnishing
every service desired in the way
of transportation, power, ventila-
ton blacksmithing and all con-
| veniences that are to be found in
a we'll ordered, modern, up to-date
mining plant.

"A movement is on foot to petition
the governor of Colorado to call
special session of the General AS
senbly for the purpose of enacting
the provision of House Bill No.
200 in a legal way. This seems
to be the shortest way to get the
money in the Improvement fund
into action. If the special session
is called with this one object in
view, there should be no delay in
passing the bill through the two
branches of the Assembly as the
bill would be in shape to travel
its course without entanglements.
If however there are other mat
tiers injected into the call there is
no telling when an "uxtra'
would get through. The mem
bers of the General Assembly it
called in extra session must real
ize that the people throughout the
state don't want any ind-jammlng

the money to get action with dur
ing the favorable road building

foolishness, jugglery or long

OF the 527 that passed all but
10 have a straight promotion.
Ten are passed on trial. OF the
40 failing the larger number is
boys. One reason for this is the
fact that the boys are too much
on the streets in the evenings
when they ought to be at home
doing some studying. 1t is not
wise to have much, if any, home
study for pupils below the fifth
grade. But from that grade on
there should be an increasing
amount of it.

departments, Manual Training
Domestic Science, Drawing was

remarks Of approval. The work
of all departments showed a
marked Improvement over that OF
last year.
Another school year has come to
successful close and the pupils
and teachers are ready for a va

Commencement week has been
crowded with the usual activities
from the Baccalaureate sermon
Sunday evening to the Alumni
dance on Friday evening. The
Baccalaureate sermon was preachd
in the Methodist Church by Rev
Edward Burns Martin and was an
eloquent and inspiring address.
Taking for his theme the Great
Refusal he drew many striking
lessons from the refusal of the
rich young man to answer the
call to higher service. He closed
with an earnest and forceful ap-
peal to the gradua ting class to
answer the call to clean aud high
service.

were breakfasted by the Do

Tuesday evening the Senior par
