Panhandier Failed.

This is a panhandle story that
failed. Douglass Fairbanks, the actor,
was touched today for 50 cents by a
man who said he wanted to get to
New Rochelle to see his sick wife.
The actor gave up willingly. Shortly
after he met the panhandler on Sixth
avenue inviting couple of buns in
to have drink. 81 thought you were
going to New Rochelle to see your
sick wife?" questioned the actor. Il

young man. "No you didn't" said Mr..

she finally managed to get the word
out.
"Auntie!" 1t was not necessary for
Hayes to feign surprise, for, although
he knew the situation, he had been
confident that such thought had
never entered Mary Slade's pure-mind-
ed thoughts.
The pent-up emotion of days broke,
and Mary sank sobbing into chair,
burying~her face in her hands. With
the expression Of the thought that
heretofore she had never admitted
even to herself, her self-control van
ished and she cried out desperately:
well, what do you think he wanted
that divorce for SO suddenly"
People usually do get divorced
when they can't get on. don't they?"
Hayes was willing to lie to shield her
from the knowledge that he knew
would be the bitterest part Of all the
wormwood that she had already tasted.

He was saved from any further

'The superintendent recommends

ment of any difference between the
salary of a teacher and the amount
deducted for substitute during the
first ten days of absence"
From the Chicago Tribune, Tues
day, May Is, 1915:
1.-THE quick change Of emotion be-
gan when Supt, Ella Flagg Young
recommended that the school teach
ers and other employees of the board
of education be asked to contribute
two weeks of their time to the board
of education. Mrs. Young made a
similar recommendation last January,
but the proposition was almost unan-
imously buried in one of the commit
tees"
From an interview in the Chicago
Tribune of June 2, 1915:
Mrs. Young said: 81 intend to re-
main and fight it out. l want to see
that the salary schedules of the
teachers are kept intact before leave
the SUPPLEMENTARY.
The cut proposed relative to teach
ers and other employees was not fair
and equitable, even if necessary, in
asmuch as the teachers are paid
yearly salary in ten amounts, while
other employees are paid a yearly SAL
airy in twelve amounts.
The Teachers Federation, which is
noted for it's peculiar and hysterical
attitudes on school questions, comes
out in the Herald of June IL offering
to accept a half months pay for full
months work. From the above pro-
gram of the superintendent it would
appear that the federation is about
six months late in their effort to take
up the cudgels for the superintend-
ent. Better team work would be
more effective. 1t is very generous
on the part of the federation to make
the offer of a gratuity, in view of the
fact that but minority of the teach
ing force are members of that organ
