OF COURSE IT WAS THAT ONE
Given Two Pennies for a Set Purpose
Which Would a Boy Naturally
Prefer 70 Loser

Dull and gray was the afternoon.
Slowly with reluctant footsteps, Wal
.er William made his way toward the
Sunday school. II the truth be told in
)ne fell swoop, he was not a lover Of
Sunday school, and were 1t not for par
entail compulsion, would easily have
,ound some other way Of congenially
passing the time.
AS so often happens when one is
town in the dumps, another bitter
blow was in store for Walter William.
He had two beautiful new pennies, one
or the Sunday school, and its brother
or the purpose Of buying sweets, or
Iome similar delicacy.
Unhappily he lost one Of the bright
Oew coins, and in due time reported
he event at the maternal headquaI-
.eTs.
But Walter, which Of the two pen
lies did you lose?"
Back came the reply, like a rife bull
ct:
"Oh, the Sunday school one, moth
,r. OF course!"

A little girl listened quietly to the
serious conversation of her elders.
At last, hearing her father make an
interesting statement anent the pos

silence.
But, papa she asked, earnestly,

money, can it? Then why do they
keep on advertising postal bapks?"

CLOSED on account of the loss Of
Scotty's cat Niger
This sign on the door of Scotty's
saloon at Ninth and Elm streets, Gin
cinnati, caused much comment Two
days ago the cat disappeared.
When the cat did not put in an ap-
pearance, Scotty hung out a sign
draped in green tissue paper and Dor
dered by carnations to tell his custo-
mers that he had closed the saloon
In mourning for his pet.

The Norfolk peasants always regard
pointed tiints as thunderbolts. So con-
sistent are the simple folks that they
will often assure you that they picked
them up red hot. They carry flints and
stone arrow heads about with them in
the belief that this custom will pre-
vent them being struck by lightning.

Affairs of Coal District Are
Discussed in Some of
Their Phases.
stoekholdel


Noticing in recent issue of your
publication some suggestions and in
ferences relative to the business mat
tiers pertaining to the educational in
terests of Coal district, 1 beg to sub
init the following and to add my ap-
probation to the most worthy action
of the president OF the board, who
prefers to advise the taxpayers OF
our district of the occasion of the next
meeting of the board of education, as
1 nm convinced that the thorough air.
ing of the actions of the board can
only accrue to the best interests of
our district.
Now, 1 would inquire as to the
amount of running expenses of the
last year of our district, and as to
what proportion of the outrageous
,eighty-four cent levy made is still
in the treasury, subject to use of our
district, and l should like to suggest
that no present incumbent of the
board of education will take such ac-
tons as will make any future mem
bers of the board of education liable
for inordinate amounts of the levy as
to embarrass them when they come
into office and place them in a false
light. 1t is easy to see that o retiring
member can obligate the board for
money that will embarrass future
members when they attempt to ex-
plain their reasons. i will cite an in
stance in the caes of Mr.. Jesse
strothers, who innocently entered the
board ofe ducation with one of the
present incumbents, JIG. Smith, when
the former incumbent had indebted
the district to an amount compelling
a levy to the limit under the then ex-
listing law.
Feeling that the board has nothing
to conceal, would next request a
brief summary as to the items COM
prising the ultimate cost of the zies-
ing building, and would also reques,
that the board require their architect
to file with them in writing state
ment as to the guaranteed cost of the
Northview building now in contem-
plation, and request him to be present
and explain 70 such taxpayers as will
be present, the details pertaining to
the plans and specifications for the
said building.

IS "Bob Vearn Polsonous?

Laws which are IN force in various
countries, notably in the United
States, forbid the sale of veal under
cle month of age for use as human
food. There is widespread belief
that bob veal,' as the flesh of these
very young calves is called, has
properties detrimental to health. II
is we'll known that the flesh OF young
animals is richer in water and more
tender than that of older ones of the
same species. The proportion of the
nutrient substances increases with
age. Older animals likewise yield
more of the extractiye bodies; Sc
that soup prepared from veal is by
no means comparable with thai
yielded by the meat OF fattened cat
/ tie. Veal is commonly regarded as
more difficult of digestion than beef
the reason being assigned to differ
onces, in the texture of the flesh.
Prof, p. A. Fish of Cornell Uni
versity, has reported a series OF eI.
Eperimcnts in which bob veal was
compared with market veal and with
beef i'm respect to some of it's prop.
cries. Experiments were also car.
Iried Gu IA which veal was eaten in
seven families aggrsgating twenty
Iindividuals ranging from 2 to 60
years of age. The health in all cases
was apparently normal; nor did any
family refuse a second helping when
another carcass became available. In
ali veal there is deficiency of fat
as compared with beef. In bob veal
this deficiency is naturally somewhat
more pronounced, because fat is a
result of growth and age under
proper nutritive conditions. In the
use of bob veal this deficiency may
be overcome to considerable extent
by cooking tho veal with pork or
other fat. Prof. Fish is of the opln-
ion that bob veal is in no way in
furious when used as humda food.
The desirability of changing the
present regulations and existing legal
restrictions regarding the sale OF
very young veal is thus thrown open
for discussion, says the Journal OF
the American Medical Association.
The subject is one which should not
be dismissed or settled by a few
haphazard experiments or hasty gen
ordinations.

Importance OF High Tastes.
The next result OF culture, says
DR.: Frank Crane in Woman's World
for March, may be tested by ascer-
tatning the degree to which you have
transferred your tastes ami
pleasures from the body over to the
mind and spirit. This does not
mean that you are Indifferent to the
joys of sense. You may like good
meal, a good he'd, comfortable
chair and a bath. The point is, you
know how to>haye these things, and
also how to do without them. The
Apostle Paul said he knew how to
abound and how to he in want.
Excessive fondness for eating, ir-
ritability when one is deprived OF
human comforts, petulance when one
is forced to rough it, and bad temper
when you have to wait. are signs OF
pettiness.
We shall not discuss whether
drinking and smoking are sinful;
but no one will deny that drunkea-
ness and the over5use of tobacco are
signs of low persons.
The cultivated person IS always
above his pleasures. He may like
them. but he will not, follow nor be
led by them !" Hence it is an indi-
cation of vulgarity to eat greedily,
or to be inord!nately fond of any
form OF seif-indulgence.

THAT TRACTION ENGINE LAW

AGAIN We rise to remark that the gen.
tlemen who framed the present law, for
bidding traction engines TO use the ma
cadam roads, seem to have had a good
deal more tender solicitude for the State
roads than for the farmers interests The
law was evidently framed and engineered
by men who either did not know, or care,
anything about the farmers end of the
matter 1t is all well and good to pro-
tect the stone roads from improper in
jury, so far as possible but how in the
name OF common sense, are farmers eX-
pected to sand for being cut off from the
necessary use of traction engines in their
business? We are being eternally told
that the stone roads are built for the
farmers benefit, and then we run up
against some such a law as this which Is
for their almost immeasurable injury. Tie
truth is that IA stone road that cannot
stand the going of slow moving trac-
tion engine is ''candy-kid" affair that
will not stand the traffic of auto-vans or
other heavy travel
The further truth is that many laws +
which this is sample, are made by men
who TALK unctiously about the farmer
and his interests but who really know
little, and care less, about the subject.
They count on working the farmer for a
sucker for their own political ends
and too often 1--WE regret to say the far
mer let's them work hir
