Mr. Bell, where did you buy this candy ? A. At Brown's drug store, Ringwood. and gave Mr. Thomas a piece or two. When he got to school he had it in his pocket I was down in the basement combing my hair and when I went up to the assembly I saw Mr. Whiting and Mr. Thomas in the hall. I thought something was up, but I did not say anything. I went in the study hall. Q.'Did you see anything more of tte candy? A. No ma'am, I did not see anything more of the candy, but that noon after eating I went into the typewriting room and met Mr. Carr. He, being a very good friend of mine, said: "We took Harry Bell's candy this morning." I asked him why and he said: "Oh, I Hk* candy." I asked him where he got the candy and he said Mr. Beth gave it to him. Lawyer for defense. Mr. Hopper, do you see that pin? A. No sir, I don't Gentlemen, you can see his eye sight is very poor. Right here is the will call on Professor Snod- (Snodgrass takes oath). Professor tell your story of what occurred between you and Mr. Hopper. A.

That proves that Mr. Beth cannot stoop low enough to steal Mr. Bell's candy, but Mr. Bell can stoop low enough to steal his own candy. St. Atty. Q. Mr. Beth, where were you on the morning when the candy was taken? A. I was in the junior assembly. Q. Did you know he had purchased this box of candy? A. I noticed it on the train that morning. Q.

' "THE BOY WITHOUT A * SCHOOL OR COUNTRY" George Jackson was a medium built young man with athletic features. He had come over from England only two years ago, where he had played on the Birmingham high school basket ball team. After he had come to Amerhad finally convinced George that if he loved her he should play for East High. He said that he would, but it would only be George in body, for he was actually a tool for her so that East High could win. He was not going to play for his own self, but for his sweetheart so that she could gloat over victory. George did not want either one to win, but he was going to play for her. During the rest period at the half George came bustling in, telling the coach he was going to play.

Answer--By Marjory Phalin: . No, I don't think simplified spelling should be used in our public schools. If there was a simple way of spelling many of the words in our language it would make spelling a very complicated study in the grades and it seems hard enough for many pupils to learn even one way of spelling words, to say nothing about two ways. Then it is my opinion that simplified spelling would tend to make a great deal of inaccuracy in our written work. Answer--By Catherine Walsh: If simplified spelling should be adopted, can you imagine the children of the coming generation reading with spirit. "Brethes thar a man with sol so ded, Who never tu himself has sed." This classic of American literature would lose half its charm, forcefulness and beauty by writing It that way. A few years hence our present way of spelling would look as ancient as Chaucer's English verse: "When that ApriUe with his shours soote, The droghte of Marche hath perced to the roote." I am not in favor of simplified spelling.

Do you know anything in regard to the taking of the candy? A. Yes ma'am. On last Tuesday I went to the factory for some milk and coming back I saw Mr. Bell cross the street with a box of candy in his hand. It was a white box. Coming idown on the train he opened the box nounced than otherwise. Answer--By Mr. Tallmadge: The objection usually given to adopting a simplified system is that related words will no longer show their connection. Obviously it, is worth something to recognize a new word as a derivative of some term with which we are familiar. Most of us, however, are interested in only the practical side of words and care nothing about their origin or past meanings. For it would certainly be convenient to have the spellings simplified, and be made practically phonetic. Those who are particularly interestfd in, Jkj|gg|il went out for the team and made a regular berth. Now George really was a wonderful player and helped by his marvelous ability the high won the state championship besides twenty- eight other gajnes in which they never met defeat East High was now given a Md to the national tournament at the University of Chicago. Again, with East high being directed by George, they won six straight games for the United States title. George was pronounced by critics as the greatest prep basket ball player in the United States. Well, about this time Birmingham had captured the championship of England. This school was eager for an international game as they had easily defeated the best teams in Germany, France and other European Countries besides the championship of England. As East High were champs of U. S. A., they accepted the terms to play Birmingham in the U. S. at a neutral gym in New York that seated 15,000 people. When George first heard, this he turned deathly white for he did not want to play against his own country and school, besides he wouldn't think of pulling against East High, who was representing a country that he loved. He went home that night after the other members of the team had told him of the great game feeling like an outcast. He saw how the other members, John, Mike, Whitie and Mossy had been so happy, but he just could not make himself "crack" one little, blue smile. George did not sleep a wink that night. He just lay there thinking of his father and mother in England and all his schoolmates who would be playing on the team. Could he play against them he asked himself over and over, finally he decided he could not George did not go to school that day for he was down right sick. He stayed home four days and then sent a message to the coach stating that he could not play Wednesday, this was on Sunday. When the coach received this message he went wild for he knew they could not win without George behind the old blue and gold. He came rushing over with a doctor, who said that he was slightly sick, bat that he could play Wednesday night But George definitely told the coach that he was not able to play and that he would not. By five o'clock that night the news was circulated thruout New York that George was "yellow." It was in everybody's mouth, in the newspapers and everywhere that he was "yellow." Everybody talked of the "yellow kid," as he was now called. George felt so terrible that he cared not where he went, but just walked and walked until he came to East river, here he had a sudden inspiration to end it all. Without a thought he jumped from the Brooklyn bridge. In a second a man jumped after him before he had drowned. This unknown man carried him to shore, where he left him and then ran away. When George came to he did not know where he was, but he finally got his bearings. He cared not to know who rescued him for he was in a kind of a stupor thinking about himself being an outcast. He went home and went to bed for an boor's sleep. It was now Tuesday night, Birmingham team had arrived. George did not want to see anyone, not even his old schoolmates, for he knew this would make him feel all the worse. He knew that he was an outcast as far as United States was concerned. He hadn't even heard from his sweetheart, Louise Kingston, a daughter of a great steel manufacturer. That night George sat up and cried the entire night. Wednesday morning had arrived, the morning before the big game. George knew that he could not watch the game as he would probably be mobbed or possibly he would faint because he was sure he could not stand much strain as he was in a run down | condition. He has just received a message from Mike, Whitie, John and Mossy making a final plea, asking him to pray. George didnt even have enough nerve to answer it Seven-thirty had arrived, one-half hour before the big game. The gym was packed and thousands were being turned away. About this time, whan George was sitting in his chair half unconscious, there came a knock at the door. George stumbled to the door and in flew Louise in a burst of'His Lass" excitement that made her evep morejlyn." * beautiful. From now until eight All the o'clock there was a continual argument' Eight o'clock and the whistle blew for the big game. East High got tho first basket after a series of pivots, passes and so forth. Then went wild when they saw him, but he saw no one in the crowd but LouiBe, whose face stood out above all others. The whistle blew for the start of the half and once he started playing he-knew who he was for. He wanted East High to win and he was going to fight for United States. On the first play George received the tip off and SEWING . The class in sewing is now learning the characteristics of the cotton an<| ^ linen fibres.

East High kept this up until the whistle blew for the end of the third quarter, when the score stood 24-19 in favor of Birmingham. The fourth quarter now started. One of Birmingham's players sank one from mid floor, the score now standing Birmingham 26, East High 21. Mossy dribbled in and sank a short one. East High is now three points behind. They battled and battled until there Ikras only two minutes to play. Whitie was now fouled and he made both free throws. The score is now Birmingham 26, East High 25. They still battled until there was only 15 seconds to play and then George received the ball from Mike, pivoted and passed to Mossy who passed back to George, who dribbled to free throw line and sank a clean one. A second later George fouled a Birmingham player. The player took perfect aim, shot and imade it just as the gun went off, but the referee said his foot was over the line, and so East High were made champs by a score of 27-26. Two years later when I was standing outside the little chapel door I heard "Here Comes the Bride" and who Bhould it be but George and Louise. He then tolgL. me that after they Were engaged she told him that she was the supposed to be man that had saved him from the waters of East river and that she had dressed like a man so that »he coul^ follow him and watch after him.
