A smal! sized scrap took place ‘Thursday at Clondike school house, between the schoolmarm and Lester Webb. Is seems as though they could not agree on what kind of a whipping young Webb was to take, coat off or coat or—from that the fun bewan. The teacher before she would leave the battlefield sacrificed ao bunch of her best alfalfa, which young Webb proceeded to take. The di- rectors were called {n and being farmers brought their hay frames on their wagons, presumably to haul away the dead and dying, but on the promise of the boy to be goud and give no more trouble the case was dropped. So the dove of peace hovers over the little Clondike school once more. The teacher is good and kind to the children and ts teaching a good school and the directors should see that she is not imposed on DINAH.
