KNEW WHAT He WOULD DO
Pretty SchooIteacher Evidently Had
Inspired Affection in Heart
of Boy Pupil.

A charming Schoolteacher whose
smile brings happiness to everyone and
who, moreover, has that greatest
blessing, sense of humor, tells this
on herself.
She teaches what is known by
some as "Subnormar school (Which
very often is more normal than "sub''}
and the other morning several of her
pupils We're gathered around her read
ing a very interesting (?) story, such
as is printed in school readers, and
one sentence ran, 1.-THE little Jap
anese girl greeted them warmly, etc"
'What is meant by 'greetT" asked
the teacher, who by the way was
showing off her pupils and the method
of teaching them to an interested
young man who had been brought in
by the principal to watch her labors.
There was great deal of brow
puckering and the word greet" failed
to register on any brain. Finally she
said, IF 1 were to come into the room
where you were, what would you do?'
There was a second silence and puz-
zled looks and then (from tall boy
of siXteen) I'D hug you"
The visitor, with his handkerchief
to his mouth, sped from the room, and
his shouts of laughter could be heard
block, while the teacher, with cheeks
covered with bushes, carefully eX-
planned greet" as it was meant in the
school reader.-COlumbus Dispatch.

TO AID PEACE AFTER WAR
Chancellor HoIIweg Tells Reichstag
Nation Will Cooperate to Form
international League.

Berlin. Nov. 11.-Germany, after the
end of the war, will cooperate with
other powers in seeking a practical
means for obtaining an enduring world
peace through an international tri-
bunal Chancellor Won Bethman HOll-
veg told the reichstag's main commit
tee.
The chancellor, discussing the in
f1uence of the origin of the war on
future peace, added: Gentlemen, we
have nothing to fear from any tri-
bunal."
The chancellor replied to the speech
made by Lord Grey, British foreign
secretary, to foreign newspaper men,
in which he said that the origin of
the present war must influence peace
conditions and that Germany would
be entitled to ask for guarantees
against future attacks if the present
war really were forced upon Germany.
OF course Lord Grey at once added
that Germany's Interpretation of the
origin of the war was incorrect and
that the war was not forced upon Ger
many, but was forced by Germany
upon Europe.

Boston, Nov. 9.-The lives of forty
persons were lost on Tuesday night

was delayed, as they were pinned in
the car, which rested on the bottom of
the channel, 30 feet deep.
Gerald Walsh, motOrman of the car,
who jumped before it went over the
edge of the draw, asserted that the
accident was due to the fact that there
was no light on the gates protecting
the opening. He and George McKeOn,
the conductor, who also leaped and so
saved his life, were arrested on techni-
cal charges of mansIaughter The con-
ductOr was inSensible, and the police

the Boston Elevated railway, in a
/ statement issued soon after the acct
dent, said his information agreed with
that of the police that about forty
persons were unaccounted for.

which was inward bound, were en-
| ployees of the Western Electric com
pany, returning from work in the
South Boston factory. The car was
