In the same period the value of the school property has in- creased from $16,000,000 to $51,000,- 000, an addition of nearly $2,000,000 per year.

Senator Bacon Did Not Want His Whisk-? ers Pulled. — There was a time when Senator Ba- econ, of Georgia, wore an ornate and lavish hirsute adornment like the fa- mous whiskers of Mr. Peffer, and pic- tures taken at the time he was presi- dent of the Georgia senate so repre- sent him. Now he contents himself with a simple mustache. How he hap- pened to shear his beard was told by the senator himself recently. “It was,” he began, “when the roller skating craze broke out and invaded the best families in the south. It struck Macon, and somehow it found a victim in me. Everybody was going to the skating rink, and consequently I went. I soon acquired a remarkable degree of grace in gliding dreamily over the floor to the pulsation of exhil- arating waltz strains. and my company was in great demand by ladies who were still somewhat distrustful of their own skill. .1 shall never forget. I was acting as the guardian angel one evening of a lady whose main support I was in her feeble efforts to prevent a collision with the floor, and we were rather tremileusly gliding hither and thither amone the erowd, when an in- valid on skates approached us from the opposite direction. [I saw at a glance that the man had lost his compass, and nothing. but a blind reliance in Prov: dence was deferring his fall. That, moment came when he crushed against me. The collision disturbed the center of gravity in my, fair com- panion, whilé at the same time it has- tened the (ownfall of the other.:: Be- fore I knew what was up the man, in order to save himself, grasped hold of one side of my whiskers, while the ladv fastened her grip on the other half, and both held on for dear life while their feet were deseribing geometrical fig- ures on the slippery floor. Considera- tions of gallantry prevented me from turning on the wretched being who was clinging to my beard like the proverb- jal straw on one side and there I was with two struggling fellow creatures in the stress of despair dangling. on each side of my Whiskers. That experi- ence determined me to. sacrifice the whiskers, and to circumscribe my. in- dulgence in that line to a modest, un- obtrusive mustache, which affords no comfort to unskilled skaters.”—Wash- The Test. “ola man, I want you to be the best man at. my wedding.” “hyp” P “What!
