j. Lee Penn Explained that he
found the dut.e4 Of membership on
the board too extensive for him ear
ly last fall and FIR that reason could
not stand for reflection, but he de-
clared that the tother members Of
the board oughtlto be elected. He
could not see htw any man could
stand for a proposition to tear down
the schools Ii lie others don't do
what he wishes them to do He de-
clared that the itople would make
a mistake when they turned down
such men as F. b. Kenner, Harris
Mcintosh and Geotge Coleman.
George Colema1 made very
strong plea for harmony and stressed
the Importance d cooperation in
school matters. In declared he took

This election resulted in favor Of

the matter Of the purchase of site

and that the site chosen, among
others, was under consideration dur

develop until matters had reached a
point where the board was under

Under these circumstances, we
submit the following:

WOMEN NEVER CAN SEE JOKE
This Was Browns Conclusion After He
Had Recounted One That Had
Been Told to Him.

Brown met Johnson the other morn
Ing hurrying along the street. The
latter had parcel under his arm, and
Brown, always inquisitive, wanted to
know what 1t contained.
"Well,' said Johnson, "lf you must
know, I've just bought pair of CATERS
very nice ones, too
"Where atf' asked Brown.
"Oh, | don't know the name but
It's little shop just down that alley
across there" said Johnson.
"Ha.ha!" laughed Brown, who al
ways liked his little joke, then they
must be alley-gaiters."
This so tickled johnson that he
made up his mind that he must tell
that to his wife, so, on reaching home,
he burst into the room. and laughed
until his wife thought he would never
stop.
She could not make out what on
earth was the joke, so Johnson started
TO tell her.
''Ha-ha, he-he Oh lor, such a joke
| just met Brown, and lie asked me
what I'd got in my parcel.
Il told him I'd bought a new pair of
leggings. but didn't know the name of
the shop, but 1t was just down the
court.
He Immediately made a good joke
out of it. He said. Good! Then
you've got two crocodiles, What
You cant see It? Well. I'm blest T.
said he, as his wife maintained a Sc
rious expression. "That's Just the
worst of women. They can't see
joke when II is staring them In the
face, ! saw 1t in moment"
Then he went out into the fresh air,
slamming the door as he did so.-Lon.

thing to show that he had always been

out, In a fit Of frenzy:
"D-n the United States! wish

suppose he did not know how the
words shocked old Colonel Morgan,
who was holding the court. Half the
officers who sat In 1t had served
through the Revolution, and their
lives, not to say their neeks, had been
risked for the very Idea which he so
cavalierly cursed In his madness. He,
on his part, had grown up in the West
of those days, In the midst Of Spanish
plot" "Orleans plot" and all the rest.
His education, such as 1t was, had
been perfected In commercial expedi-
tions to Vera Cruz, and think he told

man to be private tutor for winter

my poor Nolan. 1t was only because

first as one of her own confidential
men of honor. that "A. Burr" cared

and poker were still unknown. But
one day Nolan had his revenge. This
time Burr came down the river, not as
an attorney seeking place for his
Office, but as a disguised conqueror.
He had defeated know not how many
district attorneys; he had dined at /
know not how many public dinners; he
had been heralded In know not how
many Weekly Arguses; and 1t was ru-
mored that he had an army behind him
and an empire before him. 1t was a
great day-his arrival-to poor Nolan.
Burr had not been at the fort an hour
before he sent for him. That evening
he asked Nolan to take him out In his
skiff, to show him a cane-brake or a
cottonwood tree, as he said, really to
seduce him; and by the time the sail
was over, Nolan was enlisted body and
soul. From that time, though ne did
not yet know it, he lived as "A Man
without Country"
What Burr meant to do l know no
more than you, dear reader. 1t is none
of our business just now. Only. when
the grand catastrophe came, and JEFF
ferson and the House of Virginia of
that day undertook to break on the
wheel all the possible Clarences Of the
then House of York, by the great
treason trial at Richmond, some of the
lesser fry in that distant Mississippi
valley, which was farther from us than
Puget Sound Is today, introduced the
like novelty on their provincial stage,
and, to while away the monotony Of
the summer at Fort Adams, got up. for
spectacles, string Of c0urt-martlals
on the officers there. One and anoth-
er of the colonels and majors were
tried, and, to fill out the list, little No
Ian, against whom, heaven knows,
there was evidence enough, that he
was sick Of the service, had been will
Ing to be false to 1t, and would have
obeyed any order to march anywhither
with anyone who would follow him,
had the order only been signed, by
command Of His Exc. A. Burr" The
courts dragged on. The big flies es-
capped, rightly for all l know. Nolan
was proved guilty enough, as say ;

Whales.

Whales are able to attain such an
enormous size because their bodies are
supported by the water In which they
live. A bird Is limited to the weight
which Its wings can bear up In the air.
A land animal, If 1t becomes too large,
cannot hold its body off the ground
or readily move about, and is doomed
to certain destruction. But whale
has to face none Of these problems
and can grow without restraint.
Because whales live In supporting

size ut birth, In some instances the calf
being almost half the length of its
mother. / once took 25-foot baby
which weighed about eight tons from

ITO do so would seriously interfere
