SCHOOL NOTES

Three gifts have come to the school
within the last week, all of which add
Greatly to the pleasure of the pupils.
They are as follows: Mr.. E. M. Botsford
presented a very fine 9xl2 ruf for the
stage. The auditorium is further besuti.
ned by picture Of the people in the Boys
conference, recently held at La Junts.
This was given by the Holly boys. Miss
Norris, the music and art teacher, pre-.
sented q fine record Of John Mccormick,
the famous tenor.
A booster meeting was held in the audi.
torium Monday following the fame with
Lamar. Speeches were made by the
captain coach and superintendent. Re.
ports we're made by the financial msnsaer
and the ticket sellers. SONGS were sung
by the school and . male quartette. Ia
fact regular pep" meeting was held,
which goes to show that the high school
is right back of every movement for the
food of the school.
There were 1856 tardies in the school
month just closed. lOl of these were
made by the High school. Several of
them were made by pupils who live far
out in the country. A strenuous effort 10
on to materially decrease the number. II
is earnestly hoped that parents will help.
The best record for punctuality ives made
BY the Beet ranch school, taught by Mrs.
Clyde Stokes. That school had not .
single tardy thruout the month of Jan ry.
Miss Barnes third Grade and Miss Bale
seventh and eighth grades tied for second
place each with only three tardies.
The gymnasium is probably the most
popular place in town, and deservedly so.
Il is in use every afternoon Of the week
from $3.50 to AIS by high school and grade
children. On Monday evening, the bov,'
and girls basketball teams use it for prac.
tice. On Fridays there are public esmes,
and on two nights of the week it is open
to citizens, Tuesday nights for ladies and
Thursday nights for men.
Parents should now begin to watch the
reports carefully, and if the pupil is not
up well in every study he should be en-.
couraged to bring such studies to standard
for the finals will be on US ere we are
aware.

CIVIC CLUB

The Woman's Civic club met in
regular session last Tuesday at 3
p m. with the president Mrs. Helen
NJ. Partridge, in the chair. A
large number of members were
present and several visitors, among
whom was Mrs. Nathan of Denver,
who is house guest of the presi-
dent.
Reports were submitted by the
various committees, which were
accepted and all bills allowed.
A special report was given by
Mrs. E. NJ. Sherman. on the do
mestic science department of our
schools for the past four years.
Owing to the fact that the work is
now conducted in the kitchen of
the new High school building,
Mrs. Sherman is relieved of the
Craftsmanship of this committee,
so she prepared report in the
form of paper, which very thoro-
ly covered the work done along
that line.
At the close of the business
meeting Mrs. J. G. Davis, by re
quest read a paper entitled What
Are the Benefits of the New High
School Bnilding to the Pupils?"
prepared and read by her at the

there's no more Kitty. So went to bed
without any supper, because no girl that
weighs more than hundred and twenty
can afford to let folks see her crying.
There amt no sympathy for big women.
TT was more than year before | seen
Kitty again. | was going uptown in a
BRONX express when she blows in, look
ing as pretty as picture in a Cossack
outfit; but different, somehow. 1t wasn't
that she was made up, because she
didn't even have powder on. 1t wasn't
that she was dressed more fashionable.
She seemed to have growed. -
We jumps into a clinch. When we
get sorted out, she fires so many ques-
tons at me about the girls at the store
that l can't edge in a word. But at last
/ comes right out with it,:
"Say, Kitty, how did you find them
December roses?' ..
Fine, best in the world!" says Kitty.
"You get off with me and I'll show you
some of Them a..
Just then the train stops at her sta
ton, and let her take me along with her
to dinky little fiat house. We walks
up four flights, and | think to myself
that the Count wasn't such swell, after
all. But Kitty sings to herself while she
hunts the key-hole on the dark stairs,
and seemed as stuck on the joint as if
he'd gave her palace to live in.
1t was pretty enough on the inside, at
that. Blue burlap walls in the sitting
room, and dark oak and Dutch curtains;
and, sure enough, they was big bowl of
roses on the table.
"But you amt seen the best rose of all, /"
cLirps Kitty.
We goes into the bedroom, which was
pretty as dream, for all there was one
of them time-payment satin-rubbed beds
in it, But, believe me, it looked good to
girl that didn't have no home, with the
sun shining through the curtains and
everything. Kitty runs around the bed,
and flops down on her knees on the other
side of it, and makes little noises. For a
minute l thought she was dippy.
Then | see there was cot down there,
all lace and blue ribbons; and the dear
est little mite of a girl woke up and cried.

and crying all at once. "My very own
little Rosie girl! Did her wicked mommer
leave her all alone?"

"you never got them roses from no Count"

seemed such an awful good Joke on him,
to go off and marry Bill Duggan, that
went and done it while the marrying was
good. l amt been in cabarett since
then, or had dance any place at all.
Why, it's months since went to movie,
even. amt hardly been out at all since
my little Rosebud came in December.
But you needn't think her hairs gonna
be red. 1t amt; it's turning orange color,
like mine. She's gonna have green eyes,
too-you take a slant and see for your
SELF"
So pretended to look again; but Just
then the door slammed, and in walks Bill
Duggan in his garage overalls. He brings
up sudden when he seen me.
Hello, Gert!' he says, pretty short.
"What you doing here?"
Putting the evil eye on the precious
darling kid says. "What you think
was doing, you flaming nut?"
well, it's good to see old friends, of
course, says Bill, coming round to shake
hands, bit shamefaced. But if |
thought they was trying to take Kitty
out on any of them old toots, I'd see them
a long ways further. | got one happy
little home, Gertie, and l amt taking no
chances. You get that, Kitty"
ayes, Bill DEAR" says Kitty, mighty
obedent. "8ut | wasn't going out. l
just came back from shopping, and |
amt had the chance to get my things off,
who'd you get to watch out for Rosie
while you was away" asks Bill, very Sc
we're.
al got the girl from next door to look
in, dear" says Kitty. She's in the
kitchen now"
RILL mods a time or two, like he didn't
think the girl from next door knowed
any too much about babies, and at last
he says: kitty, come here"
So she gets up and goes over to him,
and he looks down at her long time.
IL amt mentioning no names, he says,
"but if there was any more of that old
cabarett stuff, I'd feel like putting GER
tain pretty little skirt into the old bus
and driving her off of the Palisades Get
me?"
ayes, Billy DEAR says Kitty, and she
reaches up and kisses him as meek as
you please. 1t made me tired.
"Ah, 60 on!" l butts in. wont you
even let me come and mind Rosie, while
you take your poor little missus to
movie once in while?"
Bill jumps over and grabs me by both
hands.
mo, will you, on the level? Good old
Cert, will you do that? Say, you gotta
stay and have dinner with us, he says.
"Just wait while get these overalls off,
And he clears out, as pleased as if
he'd just found dollar bill in an old
suit when he didn't know it was there.
X ITTY comes back and sits on the
= floor by the cot, with the sun in her
yellow hair.
"My little Rosie!" she says. "My lit
tie wonder girl! l thought was giving
up everything for you. Now l go all
-goosey when think how near came to
missing everything. Old Cert, she says,
"you wouldn't think it, but lifes all
beautiful these days. It's what you got
in your mind that makes the difference.

can bet your case-note I'll put little

MAGAZINE SECTION for April 9, 1916

Kitty lets out little moan and puts
her hands over her face
"My Bill thief" she says. "My boy
"a thief"
Bill he swings round sharp on her, and
he says:
ayes, I'm thief all. right. And what"
he says, "are your"
They stare at each other minute, and
then Kitty whispers:
81 amt, Bill. You don't know what
you're saying"
"Tell it to Sweeney says Bill. "I'd
ought to of knocked your pretty little
block off long time ago!"
He walks off without another word,
for he seen the Counts auto waiting for
Kitty.
THAT night Kitty comes up to my room
in kimono, and we talk it over. Her
eyes was shining and she looked like she
was excited, or a bit scared
"Say, didn't l fix it tine?" she says.
"But for me getting that notion, they'd
of sent poor Bill up to the Song Fac
tory for quite spell"
"But lsten," l says. "How did you
square the Count so he would come along
and help you frame up that alibi for Bill?
The Count knowed very well that Bill
took the blame thing"
al squared him same way | squared
Bill last night, when he was sore on me,
laughs Kitty. 81 just gave the boob kiss.
"But look at here,' | says. "You amt
gonna do nothing foolish, are you? Like
looking for roses in December, or any
bone play like that? There's mighty
prckly thorns to them kind of roses"
"You said you would if you got the
chance" she comes back.
MAYBE" l says. al was just feeling
mean and jealous, Kitty, because no one
seems to want a girl like me, that weighs
hundred and forty with her coat off.
AS long as the fashion runs to squads l
got to hustle my own meal-ticket. But
you know you never ought to think of
no such a thing"
"Bill thought So" she says. "You
might as well have the fun if you get the
name. Lies ugly, whichever way you
take it. If it isn't one thing it's another.
Besides, no girl can have hands like got
and be straight. I'm green-eyed DEVIL"
And with that she puts her arms round
me tight and hides her face on my Shout
der; and guess she wasn't feeling SO
devilish, neither.
Don't you go back on me, old Cert"
she whispers.
So tells her she'll think different next
day, and chased her off to bed.
But when ! slipped down to the
ground floor at Bettman's next
day to talk to her, | seen new

Look at what hands l got. Are those
the hands of poor workin' girl? guess
| must of been born to hit the high
places"
NEXT evening they had Bill Duggan
in the station-house, having caught
him with the goods. 1t seemed that he
had tried to hook the Counts cigarette
case; and, like poor fish, he had asked
only forty dollars On about pound and
q half of solid gold, to say nothing of the
1eweled crown on the front of it.
A nice-looking young harp of a plain
clothes man took me along to the station
to tell them what l knowed about it.
Bill was standing there in front of
desk, and guess the red in his hair was
the only fast color about him, because all
the rest was bleached right out.
A big lieutenant sat at desk, glaring
at Bill. There was some more gum-shoe
men around, and away back in dark
corner I saw Kitty sitting all by herself.
She jumped up when she saw me- but the
lieutenant told her to stay right where
she was Bill was kinda hoarse and kept
swallowing when he talked.
you'll only waste your time listening
to them girls" he says. II stole the
blame thing and that's all there is to it.
1t fell under a bench while we was mix
ing it at the dance, me and that Count
fella. When l went back after every
body had gone, to look for my cap, see
something still shining under the bench,
so | took it. That guy he stole my girl,
didn't he? Just, because he had the
dough to give her presents and good
times, he got my girl away. Well, was
going to use some of his dough to get her
back again. He amt no good, anyway.
Now you can put me in the COOP"
"Seems like a clear case to me-" says
the lieutenant, and he starts to write in
book ,.
at amt a clear case, you big stiff, "
says Kitty, butting in like she was des-
perate. didn't just tell you it was all
a mistake? What's the matter with you
boneheads, anyway -. T..
"Don't pay no attention to her, Cap"
says Bill. "She don't know nothing
about it,
"Shut your head, you!" yells the lieu
tenant. .rs

from Kitty, and when ] looked round to

up the steps on his little feet. He had a
flower in his coat, and he comes sailing
in like he was wedding guest.
Here's the Count now!' shouts Kitty.
@He'll tell you how it all happened. Give
them the right dope, Count"
WELL, maybe | got soft place for
counts, but the way that fella put it
over on the cops was peach. He made
out that he had promised the cigarette
case to Kitty for souvenir, and that
she'd took it out Of his rooms. What she
done with it after, or who she give it to
seeing, he said, that he'd practically gave
It to her-hadn't nothing to do with no.
body.
"And that's so, too" says Kitty. "The
Count got the right idea there. Say, get
that down in your book where the light
will fall on it."
"Then take it, Count, that you don't
mean to appear against this young man,
snaps the lieutenant.

smiles and bows, and he says that really,
