Owing to break in liotype machine the paper today is the best we could do. Much live matter had to be left over.

It is not a fad. It is a step toward muncipal health and municipal beauty. It has worked wonders in other towns which have looked upon it as an experiment worth m&king in a whole-hearted manner for the purpose of seeing what there reany is in it. They have found that there as really a great deal in it. They have it ic rpjsiiv wnrt.h while: and JLV^UXIU LIAU V Xf, * vw.. , "wherever a town has had one real clean-up day, wherever the people Lave really gotten together and cleaned up with a will, the results have been so gratifying that clean-up day, by universal consent, has become an nnual event.

Rockefeller and a party of friends were taking a trip across country last fall when, they came to a stream which they had to cross "oy a ferry. The ferryboat was operated by a whire-haired old negro, <nd, while they were floating across. Mr. Rockefeller tried to make conversation, says the Popular. "Jack," he asked the old man, "have you caught any fish today?" "Naw suh," replied Jack dejectedly. "The fishing," observed Rockefeller "must be pretty poor." "I spec' it is" agreed Jack sadly. "You haven't caught any fish at all?" "Not a one." "That seems strange," Continued ^Rockefeller. "It do," saiu Jack, an.d still his bearing was that of a man weighed down by woe. "Well," asked Rockefeller, "why is it do you think, you haven't caught any fish?" ' "Humph," said Jack, still mournful, "I ain't been fishing today." He Xeant the Historian. Comptroller Prendergast hale and robust, with his old-world air of stateliness blended with vivacity, was guid lllg cL gxuup U1 UlSUUgUldUCU ?lSll-uio through the marble splendors of the New York public library, says the Philadelphia Times. "Some -odd incidents happen here," the controller said pausing in one of the reading rooms, with its celling painted to represent white clouds afloat in a blue sky. 'An odd incident happened yesterday. "A young lady, after searching the card catalogue, went to the desk and said: " 'Can you tell me where I can find the- details of the Jewish rebellion of A. D. 50?" 'Consult Josephus, miss, the attendant answered. " 'Oh, thank you,' said the young lady, and, turning to a little old man who was approaching, she began: " 'I have a question for you, Mr. Josephus." -* r r ? ? ? * > <$> <? <$ ^ | <$> HONOR ROLL. ^ < > ^ <^<e><$><$><J><e><$><^<$><$'<$><$>'^<$>,$><$><S> High School. 10th grade?Amy Wertz 96 5-7; Mary Jones 95 2-7; Fay Rikard 94 3-7; i Jennie Morris 92 5-7; Amelia Klett ner 90 1-7. 9th grade?Teressa Maybin 98 7-10; Abraham Vigodsky 94 2-7; Marion Earhardt 94; Rebecca Sligh 93 2-7; Neely Cromer 92 6-7; Rosa Amick 91 2-7; Rosalee Summer 92 5-7. 8th grade?Henry Rikard 97 3-4; Joe Norwood 97 3-8; Ruth Digby 96 7-8; Eldredge McSwain 95 1-4; Elise Peterson 95 1-8; Eddie May Parr 94 1-2; Lonnie Franklin 92; Frances !

The Church Family Newspaper says: "A good story is told of the late bishop of Ripon, who when addressing an open air meeting on one occasion was interrupted by an atheist, who asked him if he believed that Jonah was swallowed by a whale.

And the crowd laughed uproariously while the atheist slunk away abashed.?Baltimore American.
