RUBBING Il In.

Booth Harrington was talking In
Indianapolis about novelist of the
high brow" type-one Of those half
starved novelists whose reviews are
much more remarkable than their
sales.
"As this novelist, shabby and
cold" said Mr.. Harrington, was
walking on Fifth avenue one wintry
afternoon. there glided past the mag
nificent automobile Of a publisher who
had bought out one OF the poor fel-
lows books at heavy loss.
1.-THE publisher signaled to his
chauffeur, the automobile stopped and
the novelist. in reply to wave of
the millionaire's hand, presented him
self at the window of the car humbly.
1.-THE publisher, wrapped in furs,
said:
There's a great big manuscript
nearly falling out Of your hip pocket,
II you weren't SO well known
Here the publisher removed the
superb Havana from his mouth
and laughed loud, scornful laugh.
II you weren't SO well known,
he repeated. I guess you'd have had
your pockets picked"

Editor. Islander:
Permit me through the Islander
to express my appreciation of the
very decided "vote Of confidence"
given me in the school election in
this district last Saturday. The
practically unanimous support of a
much larger percentage of the elec-
tors than odinarily appear at school
elections is all the more gratifying
from the fact that it was wholly un-
solicited. / hope that am right in
assuming that the vote indicates an
earnest interest in school affairs
that ' i'll encourage the directors
to submit 70 popular approval. as
early as practicable, some definite
plan of providing the district with
school facilities commensurate with
its present needs and bright pros
