It was in the old days that a safe was sent from Toronto to Battleford to the general storckcepcr there. The bulky parcel arrived by way of an ox waggon and was dumped off at the store. It was an excellent safe, but, unfortunately, the manufacturers had locked it, and had not sent the combi- nation. To return the safe was impos- sible, to get the combination was per- haps a matter of six months, and mean- while tho safe lay around the store a useless bulk of highly varnished iron. Everybody in Battleferd, the plainsmen, hunters, trappers and even Indians took a try at that safe, fiddling with the combination to see if the churlish door would uuclose. Not a bit of it, until one fine day the factor who told me the story stepped into the place. He was in u facetious mood. “Jones,” he said to the Storekeeper, “ how much ’11 you give me if I open the safe ? ” “ Ten dollars,” said Jones, entering into the joke. “All right. I’m your man.” And with that the factor stepped forward, gave the knob one turn for- ward, two backward, and another for- ward, then a sharp pull and the door swung open. “ It took my breath away." said the factor, “for I was only chaffing. But the other fellows thought I was 9. Jim Dandy on opening safes. You can bet I collected the ten dollars.” The following extract,evidently from a Toronto school boy’s diary, was picked up on the street the other day. The diary we will hope displays more im- agination than fact : 9 a. m.â€"praycrs. The prayers is all right. I only wish they was longer, so I could take a bigger dip into “ Fine Toothed Pete.” Pete had just slew Rain in the Face and was reachin’ for the blue-eyed lady captive. I tell you I was sore when the Rev. Percy High- church came in and dictated the hull of the Athiuaysian Credo to us for a spel- lin' lesson. 10 a. m. areal good whirl at the grammar. I >.<=:< I was rcckonin’ on havin' subject of a verb is in the nominative case," and “ a transitive verb is lolâ€"v so Sammy was sent home for a. week. Sammie was tickled to death. Who wouldn’t be 7 11.30. The tooth inspector's been round. He said the upper left insizor was bad and I'd have to have it out. He yanked out his forceps, and before I could say Jack Robinson ho had that blasted tooth out and in his valisc. It didn’t hurt much, but it was the saucy way he did it I don‘t like. It spoils my aim with a pea-shooter. Say, how I wish mother went to school and had her teeth inspected. Mother‘s teeth are false, although she lets on they're her her own. So they areâ€"she bought ’etn. 11.45 a. m. I sigh for a real good plunge into decimals! But we ain’t had any :rithmetic since a week ago Friday. We didn’t have any recess this mornin’. The teacher said she had a little treat in store for us, and it wouldn’t do for us to have too many good things in one mornin’. The treat turned out to be a speech from Inspec- tor Hughes. Jimmy had just returned from a Mothers’ Conference and he took up the last fifteen minutes with a inter- estin’ speech on, “ Paregorio as a Brain Food." _ Jimmy is great punkins, if you don’t mind what you say. 1.30 p. to. School is in again. Re- lidgeous instruction for half an hour from tho Swedenborgian sky pilot. The boys is beginning to git a little sour on this. They ask where does the Sunday school come in, and that‘s what I say, too. 2 p.m. Singing lesson has begun; Tonic Solfa they call it. And that’s no lie. Some of the voices in this room need a tonic pretty badly. Nelly Smith has a pipe like a scratchy slatepcneil, Bob Jones ought. to be callin’ of} trains at the Union. and as for Jimmy White, who setsbehind me, that boy has wool in his chest notes. Chest notes, did I say ? I mean chestnuts. This tonic sol-fa game makes me dead sick. I'm no frog that wants to be croakin’ all the time 1 2.30 p. m. The chiropodist and tho dermatologist and the massage munâ€"I can spell these names because they're on the time tableâ€"and the hair special- istlhavc all walked their boat. The. chiropodist said some of the feet might be cleaner, but “ for the rest they was remarkably free from euros and callos- sities." I cote his own words. The hair man told Mamie Jones not to wash her hair in cold tea, as it made it shrink. 245 ppm. to 3 p. m. Calisthenix and Delsarte.

The last hour has been spent showin' us off to two guys from Boston. The principal would say, “ Scholars, this is M r. Ehencrzer Simp- son, of Boston." And we would ray, all in a chorus, like a lot of little choir boys, “ Goad afternoon, Mr. I‘Ibcnetzer Siinpson,of Boston.”and the some with the other hobo. Then we were matched and countcimarchnd and drilled and rightabouted until we all wished that they'd thrown Simpr and his pal into Boston harbor along with the tea that caused the War of Independence.
