THE COLUMBIAN, BLOOMSBURG. PA n -tin im im"iin n"-if David's Waterloo j i tl I1M iin -till IIM II " "I. ess noise, please, children." The new teacher was pale, but rho stood very erect nnd nrmimcd tlio dig nity that she wna f. r from fcellna. Her cyea shone qucorly. She was anxious, hut the little people were not exactly miro of it, rnd po for a half second the orange-headed boy in the front seat was idly undecided whether or not to throw to the tittle fclrl with the pink ribbons the note which w.-.s ulreiiiy fc'tlcl, nnd c:"o fully secreted In the pal:.i cf 1 i hand. 1 Ju?t then a noisr, the familiar breaking of a ruler, nir.de the boy turn squarely In his seat and look toward the back corner of the room. "O-h-h!" he Rasped excitedly under his breath. It wns Just as he had hop ed Rnd expected. "O-h-h!" he gurgled In a voice that q'llvered to shrillne. Thf n he squirmed back to his prop er position and. burrowing his face In his arm, waited. The new teacher had n strong da plre to clutch the orange-headed boy by the shoulder. Instead, she held her hand tighter behind her back, and though her lips were white she smiled on. Still smiling she met the eyes of the overgrown boy in the back corner seat. They were taunting, reddish brown eyes. The boy's Jaw set a lit tlo tighter as he doggedly met the gaze of the new teacher. Indolently he began to beat a careless tattoo on the top of the desk with the broken pieces of the ruler. She smiled very sweetly. The red dish brown eyes began to stare in amazement. Presently the tattoo stopped short, and the boy's freckled face was dyed a shamed red. "Why did you stop. David?" the new teacher asked. I was enjoying It so much. You keep time beautiful ly. How did you loam? DIJ any one teach you? "David." she went cn, "shall I tell you a story about a little drummer? "Shall I tell the story, and will you all to very quiet if I do?" she asked. The rest of the children, who up tiil now had looked solemn, as if they were reserving their :ec!r-!on till they saw who came out victor, shouted "Yes:" with unabashed curiosity. Very simply the new teacher told the story of Napoleon's drummer boy at Moscow. During the telling she had made a point not to look at the reddish brown eyes. "The boy was sixteen, David, just as old no you are," she said when the story was ended. Glancing care lessly at the boy she saw that the ugliness and discontent had been nmoothed out of his face. "Gee!" the boy had been thinking. "Th new teacher has a funny way with a feller. Th' last teacher al ways made you f-tay in from rece3s for a hull month, when you broke the rulers a purposo nn' beat on th' desk. An' it used to get her just wild, too, 'cause she had to stay there an' watch him." The new teacher was different. She had told him the builiest story Rnd smiled at him and had told hhu that lie was a swell drummer, and maybe some day If he learned his lessons he'd be a drummer, too, in a big army, like the kid In the story, and get a shot In the head, and have to march all day with a rag tied around him, and may be some one would write a poem about him, too. "David," the voice went on, while the boy was still too confused to look at her, "If you'll bring those pieces of ruler to me, I'll keep them for you In my desk, and then maybe you'll bo good enough to beat taps for ua some times when we finish lessons. I'll put them right In here, whero they'll be perfectly safe, and I'll lock my desk to-night." She held out her hand expectantly. It was a whiter hand and a smaller hand than David had ever seen before. Awkwardly he stumbled from his seat and slouched toward the desk. Then he carefully put the pieces of ruler Into the new teacher's out stretched hand. The orange-haired boy turned about and gave a grunt of disapproval at his fallen hero, who was sitting with his eyes fixed moodily on the now teacher. She was still smiling at something lurking In her mind; but the reddish brown eyes still thought the smile was meant for him. i Life in London, Three hundred thousand Londoneri live In one-room tenements with three or more occupants. The death rate of the London districts in which a mil lion people are housed not so well as horses Is four times higher than nor mal. But London is not the only plague spot of England. In seven other cities the number of preventa ble and unnecessary deaths reaches a yearly total of 20,000, a black list of those slain by vile living condltins and overcrowding that equals the losses of the British In South Africa from wounds and disease. In Scot land 23 per cent of the families live In one room, and In Glasgow one-third of the population of families have no more than one room to huddle In. Conditions are no better In the small er cities of Scotland. Kilmarnock has only 28,000 population, yet 35 per cent of Its families dwell In single room tenements. One-eighth of the total population of Scotland do not know the decency of a two-room home. Eight million people of the United Kingdom have an average fam ily Income of no more than 5 a week, and In the cities they must pay at least a fourth of this for rent of pig sties miscalled tenement". ..

COLLI E COMMITS SUICIDE. Prefers Death in the Country to Life in Philadelphia. Caldwell, N. J. A dog belonging to Herman Fritz Welnberk of Philadel phia, whose family spond the summer in West Caldwell, rather than return to the city with his owner, committed suicide by walking in front of an au tombile. The family occupied a fur nished cottngo in Westvllle avenue, and started for home. The dog, a young Scotch collie, named Dash, had enjoyed romping through the Welds and woods here, and when the trunks were loaded on a wagon Dash was called to accompany the family to the railroad station. The dog hung his head and refused to follow, but in stead returned to the porch of the summer house and stretched him self on the floor. Each member of the family In turn coaxed Dash to leave the cottage, but without avail. Finally the dog re ceived a whipping. With tall between his legs Dash went to the sidewalk und, seeing an automobile coming, walked deliberately in front of it and wa3 killed. Dash by his kind disposi tion made many friends in the neigh borhood, especially among the chil dren, and could not bear to go away fiorn them and the green fields. WORKS AT AGE OF 101.
