There were no hold-up men or crooks,
No stars got by upon their looks,
In the good old days Of Adam.
There were no squeaking monographs
In tho good old days Of Adam:
No homemade tombstone epitaphs
In the good old days OF Adam.
There were no cats camped on the

No grocery bills that were immense:
They worried not about expense
In the good old days Of Adam
There were NO politician sharks

In the good old days Of Adam.
No Congress pulled on wondrohs deeds
In caring for the country's needs;

COLD SCHOOLROOMS.
Trouble in Keeping Warm In Three
Buildings Reported.

Cold buildings are still causing tho Of
fcials Of the District public schools an
noyance. In all schools which have not
temperature of Ga degrees at 10 O'Clock
In the morning the pupils are dismissed,
and during the last few days several
Of the schools have not been favored
with temperature Of "a degrees.
Two white schools, the Orr and tho
Morgan, and the new addition to the
Lovejoy. a c0lored school. are said to be
causing most Of the trouble.
The Orr Is an old building and Il Is
largely due. 1t Is thought. to its ago and
heating apparatus that q sufficient degree
Of heat cannot be kept up. The Lovejoy
addition. however. has just been COM
pleted, consisting Of four rooms. Instead
Of Diminishing the schools the classes have
been doubled up In the heated rooms
Of the school.
Although this IL inconvenient, II does
not cause the children to lose as much, Il
Is explained. as II they were sent home.
The cause assigned is that tho chimney,
being lower than the cone Of the roof,
does not draw as Il should.
