In consequence of their action post graduate courses for "special" teachers will be Conducted regularly hereafter.

Well, neither Is It logical thnt jcu should be nllowed to lie nbed while other folks are up ana about. And, be sides. If the Queen had to get up early why enn't you? Four of tho eggs that are regularly and every mornlngly metamorphosed are prepared In thnt snmo basement, whero Die only channM of communication with the world outside Is through tho dumb waiter shaft, down which comes floating lbs refrain at S:3T o'clock on tho dot: "Fry onel Stake It fourl One gazing, one cataract, two sleopcrsl na-a-lghtl" Presently, above. In tho long line of specimens on stools at tho breakfast bar, ono, attired lit dark spectacles and n. drab overcoat, acquires the eggs so specified and proceeds to rc-cstnbllsh hla fame nu tho queerest Dick In the night owl set. It's funny, but there's tragedy In It. Ho used to bo one ot the most skillful surgeons In delicate operations on the eye.

Thoy'ro tho eggs thnt are so completely "turned" that no sign of n yellow streak is visi ble. Deftly ho makes tho incision In tho white top nnd In a moment discloses the hatdened olk beneath without n scratch on It n dead, but awakened eye. Then the cataract Is removed. That egg Is ot the type jvhoso hidden gold glows through a thin film of white. Skill fully the thin Aim is landed nnd sight Is restored, nut when ho comes to tho "gazer," that paragon ot fried eggs, witli Its great yellow eyes staring up Inno cently Into old Dick's face, he hesitates. Nothing wrong there. No operation needed. Dick remembers himself with a start, looks up (as every ono looks), blushes and cats tho "gazer." He leaves thoi others, and Jim, de vouring them downstairs, remarks: "Sonm bug I Say, that guy's going nutty!" FLORA OF THE HATS. Speaking of eccentrics, Flora of tho Hats, In the opinion of mati, "has It all over Dick." She really Is beautiful. You must not alnnys believe a newspaper story that begins "Pretty little blonde Dora SlcGollywopper, of 4937 North Orlcntnl street." because It's probably all true except the first word. But Flora Is really beautiful. She was crossed in lovo at 15. Her fiance criticised her hat and they parted. Life Is ns dis gustingly foolish as that. He went to war and died on the way to Cuba of typhoid. So, for the last 1" years, Flora has had 365 hats a year. They aio nil different and she wnlks down Chestnut street every morning to tho ofllco whero sho earns ;S.0 a week and back up Chestnut street every afternoon. And she never is out of fashion as to the head that is, us far as the outside of It Is concerned. And she has only bought ono hat in 17 years the ono her young man didn't like, back ln 3338. You see, It really was a good hat.Tho materials cost only Jl.i9. But what Flora nin with them! And he didn't like It. A woman was so paralyzed with Joy at the sight of it that she swapped Ave $40 crrn tlon for that ono little objet d'art (French object of nrt). And what Flora did with these five POTATOES AND PLUG HATS GIVE WORK TO GLAZIER .Many Broken Windows Result From His Bright Business Idea, But He Goes to Correction for Repairs.

That business Is considered slow by some never bothers him. Louis can create business whenever he wants It. He Is a glaer and a staunch friend, of the small boy. He realties that the boys of the street are largely responsible for his trade. This thought was in Gratchlter's mind as he watched lads at play at Mascher nn4 Cambria streets. He viewed with re grot a long line of windows; there wasn t a crack or hole to be seen. Some distance up the street he noticed a grocery and tn front of It were many baskets ot potatoes of a handy size. Near them more boys were playing. This gave Gratchlter an idea and he took It home. He imparted it to two youngsters belong, lng to bU boarding mistress. In an up stairs cloaat they found two old high hats, which their daddy used to wear when he worked for an undertaker. The boys put the hats on. and the glazier took them down Wsseher street where they passed before a crowd of the youngsters In the street. The kids atopped In their game and gave howl. ..,..

Tho woman wanted to buy hem nil back, but Flora let her have only one of them, at a terrifying price, and then bought materials for 20 more. It Is said llmt she keeps the only Circulating library for Hats In tho world. She rents them. She sells them, She has rooms full of them.

There was a, regular fusillade ot "spuds." Only one or two out of 60 hit a hat. The others crashed through tho Inviting win dow panes ot the houses, The crashes and the Jingling glass was music to the ears of Gratchlter, who grinned at a, safe distance. A cop ended the battle and chased the boys. When he paused to get his breath he saw the glazier pat the kids on the bunk and hand them some pennies. Clratchlter then went to the damaged housea and got the Job ot replacing the windows. When he had finished, the cop arrested him on the charge of conspiracy The policeman couldn't get any one to appear against the glazier, however, and when he vaa arraigned before Magis trate Campbell at the Front and West moreland street station the Judge said: "You can't make a charge of con splrapy against this man; you should take more pain when you make -a. charge against a glacier.

Arbuckle's "Wardrobe When Maclyn Arbuckle arrived at the Dosworth studios In Los Angeles recently he soon realized that he was "Inside ot a big pickle" on being told that he was to appear before the camera as "HI Judd," a small-town postmaster. A hasty departure from New York resulted In his leaving some dozen trunks ot stage wardrobe there, and past experiences In the way of securing nnythlng ready made to cover his 50 pounds gave him no little concern. Marshall Steadman. of the Bosworth forces, placed himself and his car at Arbuckle's disposal and a tour of the second-hand shops commenced. Ar buckle's fears were soon realized.
