1t is pleasing to notice the regard
which some youths have for their
teacher-and it is commendable too.
An instance was noted a recent eve
ming when two boys, about 10 or IL
years of age, concluded to show their
teacher a good time. They managed
to scrape up 10 cents each and pool
ed their purse. The boys invited the
young lady to accompany them to the
Orpheum. She accepted. Each boy
Clipped in a nickel and paid for her
ticket A nickle each admitted them.
They called at her boarding house,
escorted her to the show-one on
each side-and sat that way with her
in the theatre. At the conclusion they
politely saw her home And the
trio enjoyed it immensely Fine stunt.

New Use of Haw Thorn.

Council Bluffs. Feb. 10.-Have you
a black haw thorn tree in your yard?
If so, there is money in it, money that
was never suspected until recently.
Some one in Council Bluffs discover
ed that they are the best needles for
talking machines that can be procur-
ed. When used upon the records
they produce far softer tones than
any steel or pine needle, and are less
destructive.
When first used here the needles
did not command any price, but the
music stores began buying them, and
now they are sold for more than the
steel or fibre needle.
Boys and girls are engaged in
scoring the country for black haw
thorn trees. One enterprising group
of boys and girls succeeded in locat-
ing plot of trees of this kind and
have had a veritable harvest In their
sales.
