Living on his school salary in a wod- | est way, both in Minnesota, his former home, and in Washington, he has earn- ed the money to send students thru | universities by writing short stories | and magazine articles. He has paid out between $2,000 and $3,000 on each of his “children.” Some of the youngsters were or- phans and some had one parent, but ! all were eager to learn and were hanrdi. capped by lack of money.

The schoolhouse clock creates the sensation this time. It is an eight day 1 time piece which ran all right until a few days ago when it stopped and refused to give forth even the. faint- est tick. (That is characteristic of clocks that stop.) Whereupon the di- réetors of the district, aware of the aforesaid characteristic, sent it to Au-- gust Lock, a Northside jeweler, for re-. pairs. | The moment a workman at the store look: off the face of the clock the TA. son it refused to chronicle the time was evident.

The glass in front of the pendulum of the:clock had been broken for some time; and it is supposed that rats may have nade a nest in the works of the | time’ piece. But the mystery is: How' [ ata the hide of a large snake find “its’ way there? The hide resembles that of a garter snake, and the query is: ‘Did: 8 snake make its ‘home in’ the clock! ye the rats ‘and leave its hide there at shedding time, or did a rat. carry the hide or a live snake inte the. clock swhich dhe rat had appropriated for its demicile?
