We are all related and no on knows
When he's apt to trample a rela
tive's toes.
Everybody's uncle, cousin or aunt,
But to clear up the muddle we
simply can't.
Wejtre one big family in a tune
Thai's been well stirred wilh a
spoon
Some new-born arrives into this mix
And tangles things up in a deuce
of a fix.
A woman's bi other is her son-in-law
This son-ln law's sister is his ma
ma; His sister, to give the court some
fun.
Became grandma to her brother's
bon,
Also an aunt, a you may see,
There is quite a mix in the family.
He ' hi niece's brother-in-law;
His sister his niece's own ma-ma.
His sister's husband his father-in-law
And his own father is his grand-
His niece's husband, another one,
I his sister's husband's son.
His niece's father-in-law ia his own.
He is an uncle of his niece's son;
'Tis only a branch of our family
tree,
But badly mixed, as you may see. ,
Every new-born babe in town
Sets our thinkers whirling 'round,
So we toss its record in the Goble
"tun"
And give it a stir with "our big
i spoon."

In the palmy d7 of the Oreek re
publics, many centuries ago, as histo
rian tell us, when a man ros to
such a height of power or affluence
that be became a possible menace to
the state, the citizens took a vote ea
hi case as sn "undesirable." This
wa sent to the senate, and. It the
vote waa sufficiently large and reprs
entarJre, that body passed a resolu
tion In which the too distinguished cit
izen was invited, la polite diplomatic
terms, to take a few years of retire
ment abroad in other words, he was
officially exiled for the good of the
state.
This was "ostracism," so called from
the fact it U explained, that the Tot
ing citizens wrote their names oa oys
ter shells, and it waa Instituted as a
measure of security to the common
wealth. Any citizen of great wealth
or Influence or who had a large per
sonal following which might, ta an
emergency, be used to the detriment
of the s'ate was liable to receive this
dlstlnealnhed mark c-f public consid
eration. It was a kind of prlmtttre
"recall." which had the advantage of
being equally applicable to "tot" and
"out."
Those early Greeks were wonderful (
fellows, who knew .ow to deal with
knotty problems of their day, which
doubtless lncludod grafting and other
human peculiarities not unknown to
our own time. If an election did not
suit them or tf any man swelled too
far above hi fellows there was S
ways the leveling oyster as a whole
some corrective In reserve. Christian

Whenever a pupil breaks a window

anywhere from 1 cent to 23 cents.
The practice of fining the children
for damntflng the books Is opposed by
some of the citizens of the town, who
contend tnnt such destruction 1 only
to be expectH from children and that
the annual appropriation for books
should cover this.
