French of the Weston State Nor mal pchool and a commercial traveler by the name of French got mixed up, and the well known instructor from Weston got decidedly the best of it. They both came in on the same train Monday evening and registered at the Palace. The traveling man got to the hotel first and selected one of the best rooms in the house. President French went to bed first and the clerk gave him the other fellow's room. There was a kick but the professor got the best of it. President French came to attend the teachers' institute here, but was called to Canyon City. He did not think about engaging a place on tho stage. It so happened that the other French wanted to go to Canyon City, and he engaged passage the night before. Early in the morning the pro fessor went to the stage station and asked for a place. He was asked his name by the stage driver, and when he said French, the stage driver said he never went back on an engagement, his place had been saved. The result was that the stage drove off and left the other French, and the last seen of the traveling man he was going out of town in a livery rig at a fast gait trying to catch the stage. allowed on the 1902 tax was $1128.28.
