Parent Teachers Entertainment

The entertainment given at the
Methodist church last Tuesday
evening by the Parent Teachers
Association was~a success in every
way Mrs. Harry Landree, the
president, the teachers in the
school, the pupils and the friends
assisting them, all deserve great
credit for their effort to place a
good flag and flag pole at our high
school building.
When the work was undertaken
some time ago, the ladies of the P.
E. 0, order, one of the societies of
our city and country, always up
to-date and leading in everything
which adds beauty, education and
culture to town and society, pre-
sented the Parent Teachers associ-
alton with money to buy the flag.
Then our alert school board offered
to pay one-half the price of a good
steel pole if the association would
raise the other half. It was for
that purpose that these entertain
ments were given, so now the flag
and pole are assured, and we hope
the stars and stripes will soon be
waving over the school building.

Ton Polite.

There are many humorous anec-
dotes current among his countrymen,
which Chedo Mijatovich relates in
"Servia Of the Servians." The follow
ing neatly illustrates the point that
there are other things more important
than mere etiquette:
Nasradin Chodja took much trouble
to teach his pupils how to behave pc.
litely. Among other things he taught
them always to clap their hands and
shout, "Hayir Allah" (God bless
you'll whenever they heard an older
person sneeze.
Once the Chodja, mendlng some
thing in the open pit in his garden,
slipped and fell In. Nearly drowned
in the deep water of the pit, he
called to his pupils to bring a rope
and drag him out.
The dutiful schoolboys soon found a
rope and threw 1t down to their
master, and when he had seized it,
began to drag him out. Only a few
feet more and he would be out of the
pit-when, unfortunately, thoroughly
wet as he was, he sneezed!
In an instant all his pupils dropped
the rope to clap their hands, shout.
ing:
'Hayir Allah. Chodja!"
The poor Chodia fell back down to
the bottom of the pit
"Ah, 1t serves me right" he cried

ness!"-Youth's Companion.
