On Saturday the newly or
gunized Board OF Trade met in
the vacant store room in the
Monte Vista Hotel Building and
for nearly two hours discussed
the affairs of the town and the
best ways and means ofimprov

get the town on the road to a
more rapid growth. The con-
dition of our school facilities
was gone into and the matter
thoroughly discussed by a NUM-
Der of gentlemen present. 1t

having hard time in keeping

The Favored,
Keeping Il Dark.

Francis Wilson was a great admirer
OF the art OF the late Joe jefferson, in
whose company he acted many times.
In fact, Wilson has written a long BIZ
ography of him. Jefferson was a most
enthusiastic amateur painter and pro-
duced many canvases, chiefly land
scapes. One day Wilson happened to
hear of a number of these Jefferson
pictures being put up at auction and, be-
ing DESTROYS of yet another souvenir Of
the admired player, purchased one.
Word of the sale reached jefferson,
and he wrote Wilson to this effect:
Congratulate you on your courage;
don't tell any one what you paid for
it." And by return mail Wilson sent
this: I'm ashamed of it, too; don't
tell any one l bought it"-Dramatic
Mirror.

On a Transatlantic liner during re-
cent voyage from Liverpool to New
York. there was Il dapper little fellow
from London whose unlimited conceit
made him anything but popular with
his fellow passengers. He was so
ready Of wit that he usually had the
best of it in repartee. Each time, Of
course. he became more conceited than
before. 1t was a bright Brooklyn
schoolteacher who finally wrought his
downfall.
One day in a sheltered spot on the
deck some of the passengers were
passing the time in playing a game OF
quotations. As they sat in semicircle
each in turn gave Il quotation, the
first quotation beginning with "A" the
second with B." and so on. The spe-
cial point was to give quotation sug-
gested in some way by the preceding
one or by the person who had given it.
Chance brought the Brooklyn school
teacher seventh in line, next to the
young man from London. When the
young mans turn came he looked
around with a superior smile and
quoted:
"Frailty. thy name is woman"
There was an inStant's hesitation;
then the clear. level tones of the young
teacher were heard:
God made him: therefore let him
pass for manr'
The roar of laughter that followed
broke up the game. For the rest of
the voyage the dapper young man
thought more and talked less.-Youth's
