: ~"s The board of education has nearly
,completed the brief which it is draw
ing up for the reclaSSification COM
mission setting forth the changes II
believes should be made in the school
system. as well as increases in sal
aries of teachers and employees.
The brief probably will be islb-
mitted to the commission Saturday
without arguments.
Dr. John Van Schaick. jr., president
of the school board. said the board;
in drawing up it's brief, has studied
carefully briefs written by the Srauc
teachers. the high school teachers ana
the superintendent of schools In de-
Gliding what changes it will recon-
mend in the organizat ton of the sys-
tenn the board has before it the report
of a~survey made by the United states
bureau of education. which suggests

board to be constructive rather tnan de-
structive in reorganlZlng the system.
Among those svitally affected by the
proposed scheme OF reorsaniZatloii are
the thirteen supervising principals:

SOC teachers, asking the board 10 1ur-

POLICE PUT ON LOOKOUT
,..fOR CHECK OPERATOR
80
Precincts Also Warned of Alleged
Swindler Who Presents C. O. D.
Packages.

In a message sent out to every pre-
cinct by Maj. Pullman, the police are
notified to be on the lookout for a
young man alleged to be a worthless
check operator. He is said to be about
twenty-eight years old, has a smooth
face and red, bushy hair.
Another alleged Swindler whose ar
rest is desired by the police is a
young white man who presents C. o. d.
packages and makes collections. He
is wanted on charges of false pretense.
Thefts of automobiles, tires and
other motor car accessories continue
to furnish work for the police.
Thieves also are stealing robes over
coats and other articles from cars. 1t
is suggested by the police that more
care be exercised by automobile own
ers during the holiday season than at
other times, because of the number of
dishonest persons usually on the
streets during such period.
Burglars visited the home of W. o.
Hiltabidle, 2125 18th street, gaining
entrance by removing the glass from
a basement door, ransacked the prem
iseS and stole revolver.

long before they were again passing
Lucy's Beautiful House, and here
George thought fit to put an appendix
to his remark "YOure funny girl,
and you know lOt-but | don't be-
lieve you know much about architec-
ture"
Coming toward them, black against
the snowy road, was a strange sllhou-
cite. 1t approached moderately and
without visible means Of progression,
so the matter seemed from distance;
but as the cutter shortened the dis
lance the silhouette was revealed to be
Mr.. Morgan's horseless carriage, con-
veying four people atop Mr. Morgan
with Georges mother beside him, and,
in the rear seat, Miss Fanny Minafer
and the Hon. George ANDERSON. All
four seemed to be in the livelest hui
NOR, like high-spirited people upon a
new adventure; and Isabel waved her
handkerchief dashingly as the cutter
flashed by them.
"For the Lords sakeW George
gasped.
"Your mothers dear" said Lucy.
"And she does wear the most bewitch-
ing things She looked like a Russian
princess, though doubt if they're that
handsome"
George said nothing; he drove on
till they had crossed Anderson addi-
ton and reached the stone pillars at
the head of National avenue. There
he turned.
Lets 20 back and take another look
at that old sewing machine" he said.
1T certainly is the weirdest, era
zicst-"
He left the sentence unfinished and
presently they were again in sight of
the old sewing machine. George shout
ed mockingly.
Alas three figures stood in the road,
and a pair of legs with the toes turned
up indicated that a fourth figure lay
upon its back in the snow, beneath a
hcrSeless carriage that had decided to
need a horse.
George became vOciferOus with
laughter, and coming up to his trot-
ter's best gait, snow spraying from
runners and every hOof, swerved to
tire side of the road and shot by shout
ing, cit a boss! Git a boss! Git a
boss !"
Three hundred yards away he turned
aad came back, racing; leaning out
as he passed, to wave jeeringly at the
group about the disabled machine:
cit a boss! Git boss Git a"
The trotter had broken into a gallop,
and Lucy cried a warning: "Be care
full" she said. "Look where you're
driving There's a ditch on that side.
Look"
George turned too late; the cutters
light runner went into the ditch and
snapped off; the little sleigh upset,
and, after dragging its occupants some
fifteen yards left them lying together
in bank of snow. Then the vigorous
young horse kicked himself free of
all annoyances and disappeared down
the road, gallOping cheerfully.

That's my grandfather's," said
George, nodding toward the ANDERSON
mansion.

claimed. 1--WE stayed there late enough
last night: papa and l were almost
the last to go. He and your mother

everybody else had gone downstairs
and the fiddles were being put away

HoUsEwoRK IN HOT WEATHER

Hot weather brings no relief from
housework drudgery. If anything,
woman's work is more trying. Over
work and worry cause kidney trouble,
resulting in backache, sore muscles,
stiff joints, rheumatic pains, always
tired feeling and other distressing sym
toms. Mrs Robt. Blair, 461 S. Goth

taking Foley Kidney Pills backache

A STITCH IN TIME
Middlebury People Should not Neglect
Their Kidneys

Middlebury People Should not Neglect
Their Kidneys
No kidney ailment is unimportant
Don't overlook the slightest backache
or urinary irregularity. Nature may
be warning you of approaching dropsy
gravel or Bright's disease. Kidney dis
ease is very seldom fatal if treated
Don't neglect a lame or aching back an
in time, but neglect may pave the way
other day. Don't ignore dizzy spells
headaches, WEAKNESS or depression. If
you feel you need kidney help begin
using the reliable, time tried remedy,
Doan's Kidney Pills. For 80 years,
Doan's have been found effective. En-
dorsed by Middlebury people.
Mrs. Napoleon Japan, II Seymore
St, says:I suffered from pains in my
limbs My kidneys sometimes acted
too frequently and showed other signs
of weakness. l began taking Doans
and it was remarkable the way they
helped me. The pains soon disappeared
and my kidneys again acted regularly
After using Doan's Kidney Pills, I no
longer felt tired and orn-out mornings.

never failed to get the best results"

SYNOPSIS.

CHAPTER I.-Major Anderson had
made fortune in 1873 when other people
were losing fortunes, and the magnihcence
Of the Ambersons began then. Major Am
berson laid out a 200-acre development"
with roads and statuary, and in the centre
Of a four-acre tract on Anderson avenue,
built for himself the most magnificent
>psion the Midland City had ever seen.
CHAPTER II.-When the majors
daughter married young WILDER Minafer
the neighbors predicted that as Isabel
could never really love Wilbur all her
love would be bestowed upon the children.
There was only one child, however,
George Anderson Minafer, but his up
bringing and his youthful accomplish
ments as mischief maker were quite in
keeping with the most pessimistic predic-
lions.
CHAPTER III-By the time George
to conceal his belief that the Ambersons
were about the most important family in
the world. At ball given in his honor
when he returned from college, George
monopolized Lucy Morgan, a stranger and
the prettiest girl present, and got on ia.
mously with her until he learned that
queer looking duck" at whom he had
been poking much fun, was the young
lady's father. He was Eugene Morgan, a
former resident Of Bigburg, and he was
returning there to erect a factory and to
build horseless carriages Of his own in
Vention.
CHAPTER IV.-Eugene was an old ad-
mirer of Isabel's and they had been en-
gagged when Isabel threw him over be
cause Of some youthful indiscretion and
married Wilbur Minafer.
CHAPTER V.-George makes rapid
progress in his courtship of Lucy.

"There's Your Grandfather Now"
Said Lucy.

the open window afforded the Occu-
pants of the cutter a glimpse of a
tired, fine old face, a silk hat, a pearl
tie and an astrachan collar, evidently
out to take the air.
"ThereS your grandfather now"
said Lucy. Isn't it?"
Georges frown was not relaxed.
"Yes, it is; and he ought to give that
rat trap away and sell those old
horses, They're disgrace, all shaggy
not even clipped. l suppose he
doesn't notice it-people get awful
funny when they get old; they seem
to lose their self-respect, sort Of"
"I1e seemed a real Brummell to me-"
she said.
"Oh, he keeps up about what he
wears, well enough, but Another
thing don't think he ought to allow:
a good many people bought big lots
and they built houses on 'em; then
the price of the land kept getting
higher, and they'd sell part of their
yards and let the people that bought
it build on it to live in, till they
haven't hardly any of 'em got big open
yards any more, and it's getting all
built up. The way it used to be it was
gentleman's country estate, and
that's the way my grandfather ought
to keep it. He let's these people take
too many liberties: they do anything
they want to-"
"But how could he stop them"
Lucy asked, surely with reason. IF
he sold them the land it's theirs, isn't
lt?"
George remained serene in the face
of this apparently difficult question.
"He ought TO have all the tradespeOple
boycott the families that sell part of
their yards that way. All he'd have to
do would be to tell the tradespeOple
they wouldn't get any more orders
from the family if they didn't do it,"
"From the familyY What family?"
"Our family" said George, upper
turbed. 1.-THE Ambersons."
81 see!" she murmured, and evident
ly she did see something that he did
not, for, as she lifted her muff to her
face he asked:
What are you laughing at nOwH"
"WhyT"
"You always seem to have some
little secret of your own to get happy
overt"
"'Alwaysp" she exclaimed. What

"0h, you think you keep 1t sort of

enough 1 don't believe In that kind
Of thing. l think the worlds like this:
there's a few people that their birth
and position, and so on, puts them at
the top, and they ought to treat each
other entirely as equals" His voice
betrayed a little emotion as he added,
II wouldn't speak like this to every
body"
"You mean you're confdlng your
deepest creed-Or code, what ever It
is-to mel"
"Go on; make fun Of it, thenp
