We are under many obligations to Ed Stockton, agent for the Evening Telegram for the use of the fine cut of the graduating class n the grammar school shown on the first page of last week's issue. Ed is all right and so is the enter prising journal he is working for. You will not find a big bunch of lies about St. Johns when you read that evening paper. Pascal Hill was out this week for the first since he holed up with the groundhog last fall. He does not look like he would be a very good center in a game ol foot ball now.

Wc were somewhat surprised recently when Victor Carlson told us that he had left the service of Calef Bros, where he had been em ployed for the past two years and that he and others were intending to open a furniture store upon their own account in tue near iiiiure. We imagined that Mr. Carlson was a fixture with Calef Bros., as he md worked up a fine trade for them, but when the furniture began to arrive in car lots aud they began to fill the bin room in the Jower building with the finest of stock in that line wc bcnan to realize that something was doing. Wc did not have time to inspect their stock until Monday of this week when wc went into the store and were surprised to note the line of furniture and house furnishings they arc carrying. They have the only genuine Wilton rug that has ever been carried on sale here in St. Johns a magnificent rug tor $40. They have rugs all the way down the line to tapestry rugs nt $17.50. They carry also all kinds of matting, linoleum, and some thing new for St. Johns, carpet in bolts, so that the housewife may go to their store, purchase the nec essary number 01 yarns, carry 11 ionic, cut and lit it nersell to Her room, tints saving tue cost 01 tue dealer doing this work and it is quite a saving.

Look Out for Burglars Last Wednesday evening F. T. Johnson, who keeps bachelor's hall in a tent near Muck & Durrie's store in the French block, left his house unlocked and came up town to attend the republican rally. When he returned home he found some one had come into Ids tout, pulled the lock off his trunk and taken about U5. Naturally he does not entertain a very fraternal feeling toward the robber, and wishes to ask the citizens to keep a sharp lookout for the gentluniau and give him the business end of a short gun if caught at any more plays like this.
