and Fitting Fate.
One Of the oldest purely social clubs
was the Everlasting club, limited I'm
membership 10 hundred people, who
divided the day among them In such a
way that some of them were always
on the premises Solely for the pur-
pose of keeping up the fire from which
members lighted their pipes an old
woman was kept, and during the fifty
years of existence the club members
smoked fifty tons Of tobacco.
No one who had not killed an OPP
pOnent in a duel was allowed to be
a member of the Man Killing club,
where the conversation was confined
TO wounds, bullets and slaughter. Curl
ously enough, most of the members
were executed.
Very different in character was the
Six O'Clock club, whose members, num-
bering six only. met at g in the even
ing and separated at 6 in the morning.
Meeting early in the evening and
sitting smoking until midnight. the
curious people forming the Humdrum
club observed the strictest silence.
But perhaps the most curious club
of all was the No Nose club, which
was founded by an unwilling follower
of the Egyptian fashion of fiat faces.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTICE.

The extreme demand for farm help
has presented a problem in school
work that has been difficult to meet.
Apparently the boys are very much
needed at home We cannot, how
ever, do as complete work in eight
months as In the full school year.
After a consideration Of the various
plans suggested for relieving the sit
uation we decided OH the following
plan which has been explained in
high school but may not be clear to
all interested patrons. Parents who
need the help of their boys are to
make a written application to that
effect. The boys will then be ex-
cused and If they have passed in
their subjects for the eight months
of the year their grades will be con-
sidered final for the year provided
that they return to school next veal
and make an average grade Of M In
whatever subjects they carry thai
year.
This rule will cause less inconven'
ience than some that have beer
adopted elsewhere and seems fair e
all. 1t was not decided upon until
the latter part of last week. but i
may be applied In all cases where
the pupil has had the eignt months
OF school work this year, II the par
ent makes the application. II no ap
plication is made the pupil will no
be ranked as passed.
