Ichabod Crane and His School

CAS- interpreted by the imagination
of Charlotte Stuart, GA, and written in
a very limited length of time.)
The school of Sleepy Hollow was
Ichabod's little empire. In it were
mostly boys of fifteen who sat up
for they evidently knew Ichabod and
his nice little brush pile. Ichabod bore
in mind the golden maxim, "Spare the
rod and spoil the child" His pupils
We're not spoiled. In fact he thought he
had rather nice class for whenever
he looked everything was still as a
mouse. If there had been any visitors
to be seen they would have thought
that the school house was a beehive
and Ichabod a weather-cock. That's a
funny combination, isn't it?

: Governor Shoup certainly made hit
with the people of Colorado when he
warned the coal mine operators that the
state troops would be withdrawn from the
mines if the mine owners attempted to
profiteer in the price Of coal.
Shoups action is direct refutation Of
the anti-Republican propaganda that the
National Guard and state police forces
were to be used against the laboring man
and for the support of corporate interests.
The governor recognizes the rights of both
sides in labor controversy and takes no
sides with either, but he insists that the
belligerents shall play square towards
each other and towards the general pub
