A good story Is going tho rouuds of
tho boys nnd it is vouched for as truo
by one of our young bank clerks, ono
of our young men teachers and ono of
our lloral company employees. It
seems that the young man In question
was paW off on Saturday aftornoui
and started for tho Sols.-Floto circus
with five ten dollar bills In his pockot.
Stopping at tho homo of a friend on
tho way, so tho story goes, ho pro
cured a safoty pin and fastened the
bills to tho insido of his pocket. An1
so ho went to tho circus. While tak
ing in tho Bights bororo tho show,
ono of tho circus barkors points at
him and said "Young man. won't you
chango somo of these five dollar bills
for somo larger bills?" Our hero
wondered how anyono know that he
had any larger bills, but being of an
obliging (disposition he ptnrtcu iu Al
tho bills oiit. "While unfastening the
safoty pin jib petitioned, tho precau
tion ho had takon for safoty nn)l the
barkor compllmontod his foresight by
remarking "Young man, that was a
wlso thing to do. Look out. for
strangers." The hero counter out his
five bills and tho barker counted out
ten fives. Tho oxchango was made
and the money was counted again "just
to make sure that no mlstako had
been mado." The blllB wero again
pinned inside tho pockot, tho barker
was profuso In Jils thanks n,j our
hero went on. Ills only question was
whothor tho bills wero gonulno or not
Seeing another barker a llttlo further
on ho asked him if thoro wbb any
danger of tho hills being countefoit
and was told that SolIs-FIoto woulU
not tolerato such a thing. Hut. as
tho story goes, our hero was rostloss
(luring tho show nnd yet lie did not
feel that ho couI,ii tako out his money
anjl oxamlno It in the crowd. So as
soon as the show was over ho wont
home and in company with ono or more
of tho nbovo friends ho started to ox
amlno tho bills. Horrors thoro wore
fivo ones and five fives in tho roll. Ho
had been short changed twenty dol
lars. It was lato. Something must be
dono and that at once. So tho group
started for tho show groups, lie
Inow ho could rocognlzo tho barkor.
But tho tents wero all down and tho
lights woro low. Ho could not find
his man. Hut ho coulll not afford to
loso tho twonty dollars, so all startdl
for town They got a policeman and
went to tho circus train. A well dress
ed man was stopped who said ho was
tho attorney with tho show. Tho story
was told I,nl ho said for thorn to stay
right thoro nnU ho would soo what he
could do. From tho description given,
ho knew the man. Tlmo passed. Tho
policeman was ready to tako action
holding up tho train ponding a search
and it was p,i"tlng very lato. Still
thoy stayod. Forty mlnutos lator the
attrrnoy rushed up with twonty dol
lars in bills, oxplalnlng that tho bark
or at tor undressing In his horth had
start d in to count his money and had
founl ho was Just twonty dollars a
head When tho attorney found him
he bitting there trying to re

a number of years ago. It has
grown in popularity each year. Tho
Idea that a boy or gfrl could not do
justlco to four regular high school
subjects and tako piano or volco out
side of school caused vtho school ais
thorltles to ajlqw ,tho. music to bo
substituted forr(bilov'of tho regular
subjects. Music yagnot given as a

subject. Often pupils wnntod to
tako music' us an olectlvo in addition
to tho regular work but. In thoso
ensos they woro told that thoy did
not need tho credit ir thoy could
tako tho rogular work. Music waa
novor credltod if tho pupil hnd four
other solid subjects. In this way
instruniontnl and vocal music was
put on a solid basis. Music teachem
got bettor results, parents liked it,
the school likod It and tho boys and
