wishes TO be a candidate for superin

serving in France, that the state law
will have to be changed to permit his
name to go on the ticket. Gordon is
at Bordeaux. The law requires that
nomination papers must be filed not
later than twenty days before election.
AS a letter cannot be sent to Gordon
and returned in time to get his name
on the ticket, the governors secretary
informed him the law will probably be
changed.

MAY Settle Foreign Language Matter.


Senator Louis A Fons' new foreign
language" bill, substituted for one he
offered two weeks ago, and which
went to revision last week, is said to
settle the foreign Language question in
the schools satisfactorily to all parties,
with the possible exception of the ex-
IRENE radicals, who would eliminate
foreign languages entirely.
The Fons bill provides that all in
structiOn in every district school shall
be in the English language; that ali
children between the ages of seven and
fourteen years, and those between
fourteen and sixteen not regularly and
lawfully employed, shall attend some
public, parOchial or private school, and
adds:
"a school within the meaning Of this
subsection must include instruction in
the English language substantially
equivalent to instruction given to chill
dren Of like ages in the public graded
schools"
1.-THE bill means that all instruction
in the public schools shall be in Eng
lish," said Senator Fons, in speaking
of his new bill.

TOY DOG HAS HIGH VALUE
Brussels Griffon, Practically Unob-

Become Popular FaVorite.

The Brussels Griffon is popularity
known as ''the monkey-faced toy dog"
and he is one of the brightest, shArpest
and gamest of all toy breeds. The
Chiffon is a cross between Irish ter
rier, Yorkshire terrier and Yorkshire
spaniel and only the fortunes of war
and the difficulties of getting any dogs
out of Belgium have prevented the
Chiffon from becoming leader among
the toy breeds that are so fashionable
just now.
American breeders of GriffOns have
a bit Of advantage over their Euro
pean confreres, inasmuch as cropped
dogs are allowed to be shown in this
country and there is no question that
it does improve the appearance Of
this breed when the ears are carried
erect.
The smaller these dogs are the
more valuable A GriffOn weighing
three or four pounds, that is to say,
so small that he can be carried in a
Iady's muff, is worth almost anything
the fortunate possessOr wants to ask
for him. At the present time it is
almost impossible to obtain such
dog.

the August breezes played with her
hair, f1inging its golden curving strands
about her neck and shoulders so that

we walkedI Somehow the rustic of
her dress started a strange vibration

''It's very warm ~ said as picked

What was there about the girl which
so thrilled me with happiness?
She turned away and felt the rib

at the back of her head.
After a moment of silence I ven
Jured:
'I guess you've never fallen in love-"
"Yes, have"
''WhO with?'

answered, slowly, looking down as she
walked.
''T'H tell you who love if you wish"
I said

"You" 1 whispered the word and

she didn't.
