Sir Robert Boyd who. while governor of Gibraltar. heinz in need of beef for his troops, wrote to the agent in England this laconic dis patch: Browne, beef, Boyd. Browne sent the stores with the reply: "Boyd beef, Browne And this, in turn recalls the story of Peter deDreux, the celebrated fighting Bishop of Beauvais, who, heinz taken in arms by Richard Occur de Lion was imprisoned and fettered. Pope Ce- lestine III remonstrated in behalf of the prelate. and in reply the King sent the bishops helmet and armor to Rome, with this neat dispatch taken from Genes:s xxxvii, g.: Know now whether 1t be thy sons coat or mo-. The pope declined further intercession, and replied: That the coat the King had sent did not be- long to son of the church, but of the camp: and the prisoner, therefore, was at Richards mercy

 Small Ones

Montgomery, September 9e.--(Special) } The County High School Manual q vol ume setting out the new course of study, together with the textbooks to be used Tn these schools, is the latest publica : ton issued hy the state department of educa ton.
 The manual was prepared by Superin- tendent of Education William r. Tea gin, with the assistance of members of the facrssies of the higher institutions of learning and principals and teachers of secondary schools, the various sub jects being treated separately.
 In his introductory statement Superin, tendent Feagin calls attention to the fact that the county high school is the prop- erty of the county and should be in touch with the humblest school in the oopn- munity.
 Tn furtherance of the spirit that ha $ been implicit both in the conception ufld the preparation of this manual, it is cone fidently expected tkat the faculty of the county high schools in the state will fiv,e themselves largely to extension work lis behalf of the rural school" said the su-. perintendent of education.

 with large oversubscription increased fir,nness in foreign exchange. a slight stiffening of money rates and a dras- tic cut in the dividend of the Anaconda Coper Mining company were the chief features today of financial interest.

But whether the time of possession was made nearer as a result of Mon days election will remain a matter for fu- ture development.
