To him have been paroled scores of boys and girls. He has visited and studied all the large juvenile institu tions east of the Missouri river. Hol t . stated that if he could not have Miss Ward, he preferred McAulay to any other. "Mr. McAulay is at present Omaha school truant officer and deputy pro bation officer. He is married and 55 ,. years of age. The board has no desire to molest at the Geneva school any capable employe unless it develops that such change is for the betterment of conditions. Our state institutions must and shall be abpve reproach." Old Time Circus Man Dies At Poor Farm at Tecumseh Tecumseh, Neb., Feb. 17.

This practice originated in a charter granted to the city by King Henry VII in 1500. It prescribed that every three years the ceremony be per formed at a point three miles outside the harbor. This time, however, ow ing to submarines and mine menace, the mayor winked at the custom and to the great relief of his 500 guests satisfied tradition by casting the dart at the very mouth of the harbor. Irishmen of all creeds and classes sat down to luncheon served on board. Noblemen broke bread beside the democrat and all seemed1 on good terms. The Protestant archbishop of all Ireland sat beside Catholic Arch bishop Harty of Cashel, while beside John Redmond were the earl of Gra nard and Viscount Middleton.
