Wanted -A Reflector The following petition needs no explanation and we presume the "handy-man" has attended to his mission with alacrity. As requested we publish the petition but with-hold the signatures: Oct. 20, '13. "We the undersigned realizing that a large part of a school tnarm's efficiency lies in the char.n of her roo( looks, and that a mirror, for those having courage enough to look into one, would aid materially, do hereby authorize our obliging "handy man" to negotiate for the pur chase of one. Said mirror not to cost more than 25c per capita." Lost His Pheasant One of our local hunters was out hunting a few days ago and secured a live China pheasant which he placed carefully in his hunting coat pocket for the pur pose of making one of his friends a present. But imagine his sur prise and chagrin when in the effort of cranking his auto, in which he had gone to the hunt ing scene, the bird slipped out of his pocket and made its way to safety across a field while his gun was beyond his reach. Never mind such little troubles as that, Ed, you may get another chance at that bird yet but the old proverb is bursted. That bird in the pocket was not worth two in the bush. Moral: Don't crank your machine with alive pheasant in your pocket.
