TOLD HER LIES AMBITION
Small Girl Somewhat crudely Ex-
pressed Her Desire to Be .
Teacher When She Grew Up.

At one time or another during the
ward school life of little girl there
prevails the ambition to become a
teacher. Perhaps it is the indisputable
authority possessed by the hand that
yields the rules or the nonchallant dis
play of wisdom on topics surrounded
by the most inaccessible difficulties
to the small boy and girl. They will
nearly always tell their ambitions to
a well liked teacher, and one rather
surprising declaration was given by a
little maid in one of Miss Clara Town

Among the special favors coveted
by the youngsters IL the permission
to stay behind after school and clean
the blackboards. One evening little
girl was given the desired privilege
and while engaged in the task she
struck up a shy sort of conversation
with Miss Townsend Finally thu
usual confession was made.

At Shanghai we come upon another strange

upon which it is necessary to carry two passen-

rows are very generally used in the Shanghai
district, both as freight carriers and for trans
porting passengers, and it is a decidedly amusing

Mr.. and Mrs. Joe McGregor, Of

prised by large number Of their
neighbors and friends on Sunday af-
ternoon last. Mr.. r. f. Schantzen
came over to their home in his auto
and invited Mr.. McGregor to jump
in and have a ride. Returning in
about an hour, Mr.. McGregor was
sdumbf founded to find his yard filled
with teams and carriages and peo-
pie. 1t was soon made known to
him that their neighbors and
friends had come to surprise them
and in this manner show the es-
TEEN and good will which they en-
tertain for the family. A massive
full leather rocker was left as tan
gible evidence of this friendly feel
ing. The good ladies had brought
along well filled lunch baskets and
a big feast was enjoyed by all pres
