He is usually very thin in the cheat and very long in the legs, but he aeexaa rather proud of this, for he Is forever showing oft whenever he can get a chance. The first impression he gives you is that he is remarkably "raw," and that he grew up with great suddenness before his time. His back is hooped, and he.

reminds one very much of a bent car ticket. But what annoys me most of all is his Insane chatter, an assumption of a highly superior air, and an obvious contempt for anything beyond cigarettes and sport. "What he does not know isn't worth knowing. He looks upon himself as no end of a lady-killer, and thinks all the girls are dying for him. He never talks to a girl without Interpolating some subtle suggestion touching the affections, and which he hasn't the brains to see is inexpressibly ii suiting.

And all the time he stands first on one foot and then on the ether with a leer on his face'which ae thinks is entertaining. He is, in fact, a beastly cad, although it is due him to state that he hasn't the sense to see it. Another fellow I can't bear Is he who never rides a bicycle, never plays baseball, never wields a racquet, never has an Idea, never did anything particularly, and never says anything you don't want to forget the minute afterward. Not only this, but he Is forever falling in love with girl on the slightest pretext, and everybody else knows that the next week he Just as mad on 'somebody else. He doesn't seem toi possess any stability of character, and when you are tete- a-tee with hUn he is literally a conversational stone around your neck.

He doesn't initiate a subject on which one could chat until the happy moment arrives when he drifts oft with somebody else. You have to start every conversation, "and he is a man with such a brazen brain that every subject Introduced Is dead be- there ensues a silence which can only be broken when you break fresh ground to see whether he will fertilize on that. Then there's the bounder who thinks himself a bit of a wag, and is forever digging out and raising from the dead some old wheeze that was mercifully burled long before be was born. He Is great on puns, too, and thinks nothing of begging you to wait a moment while he trots out some little phrase that plays on your words. Xo matter what you say, he is to break in with "That reminds me," and proceeds to damp one's spirits with a stupid story of which no one seems to see the point except himself, for ho always laughs very heartily, and expects everybody else to do the same.

A glance at the list shows a slight Increase In the number of gentlemen teachers In the rural schobls over that of last year. This year there are fourteen teachers In these schools'while last year there were but ten.

The Increase Is probably due to the slight crease In salaries this year. HoweviK for several years the number of gentlemen teachers has been decreasing. This afternoon a meeting of the Inexperienced teachers is being held la the office ot County Superintendent Mrs. Maude Funston. Such a meeting Is held each year that the new teachers may receive suggestions that will aid them in getting started right.

An Occupation Tax of 135 Reduced to 125 By the City Council. The city of lola will compromise with the Western Union Telegraph company in the matter of the company's occupation, tax. The ordinance provides that the tax to he paid by the telegraph company shall be $35 an nualiy. When Harre M. Dowler, city clerk, recently attemipted to collect the tax, the superintendent of the Western Union company notified him that the company would not pay but would remit $15 when advised to do so.

The matter was referred to city counsellor Morse. At the meeting of the council last night, Mr. Morse reported that there was no legal reason why the company should not be obliged to pay the tax as provided by the city ordinance, but that the matter of insisting on collection was up to the council. Alderman Randall said he couldn't see why the Western Union should be fevored with a reducUon of tax any more than any other corporation. In reply Alderman Fryer said that same controversy had been up one year ago.

At that time the city made an effort to.collect the occupation tax hat the telegraph company refused to pay It, tendering Ffeures were shown, said Mr. Fryer, to prove the tax Imposed by the city of lola waa higher than in any dty In the state according to the amount of bustnesa done. The former council, under this diowlng agreed to reduce the tax to $25 and this company paid. On motion, the council last night agreed to authorize the city clerk to aoeept as payment In full the 1909 oecnpatloa tax of the. Western Ifttlon company.
