Nels, my friend" remarked the Janl-
tor to his Scandinavian assistant. you
must have sprung yourself for razor

signal you're sporting 10 another thing
that gives me food for thought, as the
Teller says, not to mention the rhine

Well, it amt no business Of mine, only
you'll do well to be careful. Keep
your eyes open and look about you be-
fore you make up your mind.
You see, Nels," the Janitor went
on, as he hoisted himself to a seat on
the basement railing, you see you've
got opportunities, owing to the job
that you're holding down here, that
most men amt got. You don't have
to take the chances that you'd have
to take if you was on the section or
working in a livery stable. The gink
who's digging sewers or driving a
dray for a living has to take risks
that makes me shudder when think
Of them. He goes to a dance. we'll

Of mind to use sense. He's too full
Of ham sandwiches, hot dogs, chowdei

was of general interest throughout
the city today, marking as it does the
beginning of what is predicted will
be one of the most profitable years in
their history. The large body of am
bilious boys and girls enter upon a
session of training with an equipment
of the very best, both in the matter
of capable faculty and of buildings
and accessories. Every school was
full at the opening and in many
classes the seating and desk capacity
was over taxed.
At the High School the opening at
tendance was around 300 pupils and
with the main hall filled informal
opening exercises presided over by
Principal Strahan were participated
in by Rev. E. D. Solomon, Rev. A. L.
O'Briant and Mr.. J. M. Pannell, OF
Weston, the newly elected teacher Of
physics and mathematics.
Mr.. Solomon read a selection from
scripture and led in the opening pray

who evidenced their appreciation Of
his numerous funny sayings by laugh
ter and applause.

Which Dog is
The Snartest?
ONE BACKS. UPSTAIRS IN CARRY.
ING eRoWLER OF
OTHER GOES BACK AFTER PACK.
AGE HE HAD FORGOTTEN
ON THE ROAD

yin ! TIE HOND
In discussing the Intelligence of
dogs today one lover OF the canine
family told OF two Instances that
came under his personal observation
showing the instinct Of the animals
that bordered on intelligence II It did
not Teach the dignity OF that term.
In one case the dog had been rear.
ed in a second story fiat. He had
been trained to carry beer to the flat
In bucket. He learned from his
working with the growler that he
could not ascend the stairs BY the or
binary way of locomotion, so he re-
versed the procedure and climbed the
Incline by walking backwards and
bringing the growler after. The dog
always managed to make the delivery
OF the amber fluid safely.
Another case was cited where i
dog had been trained to carry pack
ages. He had gone to a store for
something that was needed and OF
his return he came in contact with
some OF the members of the famil,
who owned him. The dog became in
terested in something that challeng
ed his attention and he laid the bun
die down. He trotted OF and afteI
going some distance the dog remem
tared that he had left his budget be
hind. He went back and got it. re
turning in time to accompany tn,
members OF the family home
The question at issue was which o
the dogs displayed the higher mark o
Intelligence. the one that carried tn,
beer or the one that went back 70
the package.
This is n question that some OF tn
dog fanciers who are readers OF tn
West Virginian might settle by let
ting their views be known throug!
the columns of the paper.
