That Troublesome Apostrophs.

The woman living next door to the
schoolhouse was spinster Of uncertain
age. And she seemed to put in most
Of her time watching the schoolhouse
so that she could find some reason for
complaints. Many had come and many
had been settled in way that had
caused sorrow to the boys OF the
school. And this spring came a new
one. During a ball game in the school
yard several Of the boys had occupied
as their grand stand seats the roof OF
the lady-next-door's chicken house.
The principal was inclined to stand
with the boys, SO she made their pun
ishment very light. They were to write
a note of apology to the woman. The
note was written and dispatched one
morning. That afternoon brought a
fiery splinter to the building. She said
the note las insult added to outrage.
The pl Acipal took the note and
read, "N,., the boys Of the N
school, oj4rc our apology for sitting on
the old 1en's house during our ball
game last Friday"
The boys said it was al the fault
of a misplaced apostrOphe. The teach
er was wise.--Indianapoli News.

NITRATE OF SODA

The government has released 100,-
600 tons of nitrate of soda from the
ammunition department and it will be
sold to farmers at $500 f. o. b.
Shipping points nearest this section
are Notro, W. Va.,; Hopewell, Va. !;
Brunswick, Ga; Jacksonville and
Pensacola, Fla. Not less than one
ton or more than 100 tons will be
sold to any one person. Send the
orders to Vessel Duval, 28 Broad
St., New York City.
Had this been released in January
or February it would have been much
better for the farmers as they could
then have used it this year, as it
now is spectators will likely get it
and hold until this fall or next year
and reap big profit. Farmers can
pool their orders and thereby buy in
smaller quantities than ton.
