Oil Stoves.
One time in q careless moment
Luther Burbank, the well-known dou.
ble-crosser, conceived the UNIQUE and
mischievous idea of crossing the
gloW-worm and the skunk.
The result was an oil stove.
The hybrid inherited it's heat from
the glow-worm and it's aroma from
the skunk.
When one retires in a freless, ra.
diatorless, registerless room away
from home, they sometimes put
one Of these kerosene, air-cooled con-
sumers in with him for company.
Any time be wakes in the night he
knows the stove is there, because he
can smell it.
He is glad it doesn't make any
heat, for smells smell worse in
q warm room than in cold room.
They say there are oil stoves that
warm one. But we have not seen
all.

the grand lists, and the lesser part on the average attendance grant bill
 The proposal is to increase from s to S4 the Amount allowed towns for each pupil in average attendance. Four dollars was the amount fixed in the bill presented 10 the last regular session of the leg.sla- ture, but it was reduced by the appropria- tions committee 10 S3.
 Under an act amended by the last ses- sion, towns with grand lists of s2.50O. coo or less are put into five classes for the purpose of apportioning state aid to them for teachers salaries. The plan of the state educators is to extend the provisions | of the bill to cover all towns. regardless of whether or not their grand lists are above S2.500. coo, and to reclassify the i towns
 i At present. towns having grand lists of not more than $500 GOO receive from the state l5 Ter cent. of the amount paid by such towns in teachers salaries: towns 1 between s500,000 and S10G0. .00G receive | 60 per cont; towns between S1.OG0. 900 and Sf50o.e .e00, 45 per cent: towns be- tween S1.500, ,o0O and S2O00 0eO 3n per cent. an downs between s2.O0Q ,000 and S2.500 coo 20 per cent.
 In removing the restrictions against towns with grand lists over g. 800. .OOY. the new bill proposes to add two new classes, the sixth class to provide . per cent. for towns having grand lists between tS2,500 900 and s10.000.0OO and the seventh class to provide 10 per cent. for these
 having grand lists in excess fo S10.000.-
 900.
 A further amendment to the average
 attendance grant would require towns to
 apply the proceeds on teachers salaries
 for the first three years but after that
 period. they would be allowed to u~e ,he
 state aid thus derived for any school Dur
 pose except new constructio:.
 To guard against possible 9buse Of tho
 latter provisions by any Of the local ari.
 thorities, the bill would provide that n,
 town be eligible 10 receive such state aif if it reduced its own appropriation ro,
 school purposes below the figure for th. lprevious year. Without this check. loca
 authorities would be enabled 10 withdraw
 town appropriations for support of schoof and cause the state to assume the entir } burden.
 Officers of the State Teachers argocia tion have figured that, under oxist.nr statutes. Connecticut assumed g rer cert 5 of total. school exrenEes. which. they say ; is far too small a percentage.

 "Of course I do, honey child, and love you for 1t. But I was thinking you'd be awfully conspicuous when you march up to get the prize, that MT.

 Don't be too sure of my success, D laughed Ann, secretly much excited over the possibility of winning the much coveted prize.

DIAZ REFUSED TO BE
 QUOTED ON REVOLUTION

New Orleans, La, Dec. 26.--Felix Diaz. whe ntold tonight of reports current in Mexico City that he had landed at Qua tenaala preparatory to starting an ag- gresciyc movement against the Mexican government, laughingly replied that the report, like the famous story of Mark Twain's death. had been greatly exagger- ated.
 The former Mexican revolutionary leader when seen today by represen- ts i've of the Associate Press was en-. joying a Christmas party on Peasant street, near his home, in company with members of his family and friends.
 Senor Diaz stated that as yet he has made no plan for the future and for the present l. would no interrupt his vacation with any thought of the future When asked directly if he would lead l 9 revolution against the present Mexican officials in the event they wen contrary to his views, he refused to be quoted.

 She kept an eye on Cal for a long time, then little crestfallen, saw him leave the stage with party of ladies. The older woman turned, angrily, to the girl.
 Come on. Dorothy" she snapped. Tt looks like that man was right"
 "Oh, mamma" protested Dorothy Burnham, little weakly. Gals all right. Trust him" Then she followed her mother out to their machine. Cal Bryn had vanished.
