March 2!?th the teacher of White
school No. 3, gave an entertainment.
The a'naa was artistically draped
with evergreens and very prettily
trimmed with roses, carnations and
sweet peas. The children were well
drilled and recited their parts with
credit. Musio was furnished by
Miss Clirlt, and many parents had
good reasons to be proud of their
boys and girls. Especially Miss
Crump deserves credit for the way
she trained her scholars. Those
whom we think the best reciters
were Snrnh and Willnrd Wilson,
Laura, Etnnialine, Harry and Clar
ence Singer, Mary, Edward and
Gerald Gamble, Annie and Jakie
Bnrtz, Kate Gumble and Leonard
Simons.
Now that we have chronicled this
entertainment in due form, and en
deavored to give credit where credit
is due, and hope we have given sat
isfaction to the participants therein,
we have a question we would like to
ask our board of school directors.
Do you gentlemen see any profit
in this method of teaching? It is
perhaps not know to all of you that
this entertainment has been upon
the tapis for fully one month (our
school term Is but seven months)
and during that month from two to
five lessons have been ommitted to
give time for rehearsal or practice.
On one day eight lessons were
dropped, and at another time but
three wore recited. When you con
sider the shortness of the term and
the value of time to the scholars, do
you think it pays to waste the mon
ey intended to be used In preparing
our youth for the battle of life? Do
yon think it pays to devote the
childrens time to frivolous amuse
inent? Time that should be devoted
to study and which once lost can
never be regained !
True I the children enjoyed it, as
also did the older folks, but, the
children do not realize that they are
paying dearly for their amusement
and the older participants are not
blessed with children at scliool, and
perhaps do not feel bo interested as
the parents of the children. We do
not think that our legislators in ap
propriatiug money for school pur.
poses intended that it should be
used for amateur theatricals, and we
ourselves prefer that our children
become expert in the three R's,
We would remind you gentlemen
that yours is a position of great
responsibility. You were elected by
your fellow citizens in order that
their children might be benefitted
by your superior knowledge of edu
oational methods, and we ask that
in futherance of your duties you use
tliat knowledge for their benefit.
Look a little closer into the conduct
of your schools, see that they are
properly managed. (Jive OS compe.

voted that certain studies shall be

Live up to your promise to do your
duty and you will receive the thanks

their children.

Although there was a big flood in
the Delaware Saturday, the First
street ferry did giand work in oarry
ing people across the turbulent
waters. The boat made its regular
trips, managed by Messrs. Theodore
Duraut, John Durant, Goo. Lucky,
J. Campbell and J. Van Shock, who
did splendid work all day. The boat
stopped running at 6 30 p. in,, as it
was getting dark and large cakes of
ice running could not be seen enough
to enable the boat to steer clear of
them. . All day the ice gave trouble,
but large cakes were shoved aside
as they approached the boat. Only
a limited number of passengers were
ferried over at one time. On the
last trip the boat carried 14 passen
gers and one gentleman rode in a
row boat which was attached to the
large boat to be in readiness in esse
of accident. The running of the
ferry was a great accommodation to
the public, at many people had to
cross the river for their work, at'd
the citizens of Matamoras feel nude
obligations to the persons who
bravely ran the boat under perilous
oonditionB. The river was too high
for Mr. Clark s ferry to run on
Saturday, but both ferries are
operation today.

ABOUT A GIRL
WE DIDN'T GET
roily snt on the other slils of ths
labie .ninttlns tna. Phe worn a riillcu-
1
ous little apron (for notninfr mil
liow), nhout the siz.e of a handker
chief, and a houoewifnly expression
that she always dons on such occa-
lons. Suddenly sbe glanced up.
"Look! Quick! Out of the window.
c.k. No, .the other way. There she
oes."
"Hy Jove, wlint a pretty glrll" I ex
claimed. "Who Is shu?"
Hut you were looking ths wrong
way," said roily, "and that wasn't ths
girl I c-.rant."
"I was looking at the girl across
the street,"I said, "and she was quits
the prettiest girl I have ever seen
except one," I added, dutifully.
Polly set the kettle down with a
thump that Jarred the teacups.
"It's always that way," she said,
reslitnodiy. "The girl across the
street, like the pirl he didn't get, al
ways is a man's Ideal. If lie never
marries, he carries her imnee aliont
In his heart, or her photograph About
In his pocket, and uses It for a stand
ard with which to compare all the
other women he may meet. If lis
does marry somebody else she bo-
comes a sweet memory that rises
every time his wife burns the biscuits
or forgets to take her hair out of curl
papers. AVhy is it?" and Tolly tilted
her lltite nose upward until Bhe look
ed almost dlcnilled, "that the mere
fact that a girl doesn't want to marry
man makes him wild to get her?"
"Polly," said I, "do you remember
when you were a very little girl how
you used to lie awake nights trying
to catch Panta Claus? Do you recol
lect how the jam on the top shelf was
always the kind you liked best. Did
you never long to see the other side
of the moon, or eat what wasn't good
for you, or piny with the nnusrhty
little girl whom you were forbidden
to speak to? It's human nature. The
illusive, the unattainable, the thing
we cannot get always has been the
thing we want." a
Polly pushed back a little curl that
will get Into her eyes, and began cut
ting lemon, meilitatiely.
"Yes," she agreed, "but It's differ
ent with a woman. She always feels
sort of resentiment toward the man
who won't fall In love with her, while
a man rather respects a woman (or re
fusing him and admires her for snub
blng him. The longer she remains on
the other side of the street "
"That Is it," I broke In, "the longer
She remains nn the other Bide of the
street. Hut I have observed that it
Is generally very easy to cross over
yourself, and then "
"And then she is no longer the girl
across the street?" broke in Polly,
waving half a lemon trltimphly,
Then Bhe loses her illusion, her at
traction. It is as If you had turned
the limelight off of the leading lady
In the phiy. Her Titian hair becomes
red; you observe that her nose turns
up at fhe end; her diamonds ar only
paste, nnd her figure Is nothing more
nor less than the result of wearing a
straight-front corset. The stock mar
ket falls, and you are glad to sell out
your Interest In the girl at the very
lowest figure. The very fact that she
has succumbed to your entreaties or
your fasclnntlons, the very fact that
she loves you, or Is willing to flirt
with you "
Polly will you put down that lem
on. It is taking the color out ot me
already."
Polly subsided.
"Let me ask you," I went on, seri
ously, "why. If you girls know all this,
do you bo often cross the street your
selves?"
"What do you mean?" said Tolly,
"inu send us sofa pillows, I re
torted.
Tolly winced.
And necktie cases," I went on.
"and Invite us to violet teas."
"Mr. Heavyfeather." said Polly,
"will you kindly pass the sugar?"
1 passed.
Tolly took two lumps with the dig
nity of a tragedy queen.
"It Is evident," she remarked In
tone like the trickling of Ice water
that your charms have made you i
victim of feminine attentions. But,'
she continued, "there are girls and
girls. The kind to whom you fcavs
reforence never were like the girl on
the other side of the street. They
never gave you nor any other man an
opiortunlty to observe them from
distiince.'
I blew the smoke of my clgaretts
reflectively. It Is always amusing to
hear Tolly talk sensibly, because
well because her pompadour Is fluffy
and her nose Is retrousse and In that
nonsensical apron well
"Yes," I hean slowly; "now that
you come to mention It, there was
once a girl "
"I didn't ask for particulars, Mr.
Heavyfoather."
"The most beautiful girl 1 ever
knew "
'"Will you have some more tea, Mr.
Heavyfeather?"
"The cleverest "
"One lump, or two?"
"The girl with the greatest amoi nt
of common sense "
"Lemon ?"
"And she was the plrl afross f
"I don't want to know!
"The girl across "
"I won't listen"'
"The girl acro "
Polly rose In righteous wrath.
"Ths girl across the table."
And tne kestle bubbled merrily.

The Kansas City Journal continues
to say unpleasant things about 8ei -
ator Teller. The sntne votes bv
which Henator Teller came to the
senate brought Congressman Shaf-
roth of Colorado and that gentleman
manfully resigned stating thnt evi
dence had been presented showing
hat he had been francllently elected.
The Journal snys that of onrsn Mr.
Teller is simply dtdaying his own
resignation until he can settle bis
own affairs nt Washington, and that
it may be forthcoming any day
Washington politicians who admit
that the Democratic situation was
shrouded iu deep gloom prior to the
time when Hearst started in this
spring fail to see wherein the situ-
tion has been improved since this
new development.
Secretary Shaw calls attention to
the fact that President Cleveland
was by no means a trust hater and
the inference is that his election
would probably be considerably
more pleasant to Wall street than
would Roosevelt's.
