V We Sttpply It Job Rooms of the Clackamas County Record A FEAST THAT FAILED. The Story of a Raeeooa That W Not Served l'or Breakfaat. It Is within the memory of many people that the custom of schoolteach ers "boarding around" was the usual thing la country districts. Although a custom which teachers seldom liked, it is doubtful if many of them had as Lnrd a time as a young schoolmaster who described his experience In the New England (Jolaxv for 1817. Tim article was written by Leonard Ap- thorp. then an undergraduate of Bow dofn college. The young schoolmuster was to receive 115 a mouth and his bor.rd. From the first day I nercelved that I was at board on speculation and at the mercy of a close calculation, be writes. One day the whole dinner con sisted of a single dumpling, which they called a pudding, and five sau sages, which In cooking shrunk to the size of plpestems. There were five of us at tuble. A few days afterward, on my return from school, my eyes were delighted by tho sight of on animal I had never seen before. It was a raccoon, which the young man. Jonathan, had killed and brought home In triumph. When skinned, he seemed to be one entire mass of fat and of a most delicate whiteness. I was overjoyed' and went to bed enrly to dream of delicious steaks which the morrow would brlni hong before daylight I heard the ramity stirring, and the alacrity of quick footsteps and the repeated open ing ana shutting of doors all gave us- stiranee.of the coining holiday. I was soon ready for breakfast, and when seated at table I observed that the place of Jonathan wns vacant "Where is Jonathan?" I asked. "Gone to market," said they. "Market! What market nrav? I did not know there was any market In these parts." "Oh. yes." they said, "he Is gone to . about thirty miles to the south ward of us." "And what has called him up so early to go to market?" "He Is gone." said they, "to sell his raccoon." PICKINGS FROM FICTION. The fool's ear was made for the knave's tongue. Itamaswaml's "Indian Fables."
