His name was Claude, which is We boys did not care for Claude. He played with the girls, mostly, but they didn't really like him, either. Girls, even nice girls, like bad) boys. I don't know why this is so any more than I know why Claude couldn't pop Claude's mother was naturally proud of Claude. She said he would be a great man some day. She harbored the notion, I suspect, that he would be president of the United States Claude was smart. He wept with chagrin and shame if his card at the end of 9 term showed a grade in any study under 96. He was always 100 in deportment. And he} tardy His attendance record was unblemished You understand how we despised Claude—and why He was the teacher's pet. Her liking for him was easy to understand. When vi tors came, or any of the school board were snooping round, the teacher could always rely jon Claude to uphold the reputation of the school We hated him so we tried to pick fights with him. But it wasn’t any use wouldn't fight. He'd cry and tell teacher Teacher held Claude up as a model for the rest of us to pattern after, Claude had his lessons. Claude was never impudent or disobedient. Claude never played hookey.

Stewart Hardware Stock on Sale The Stewart Hardware company, one of the best known stores of its kind in the city, went bankrupt some time ago. stock is now being closed out, and full par- ticulars of the sale will be found in the large display ad which appears on page 7 This Some rare bargains on seasonable mer- chandise are told of in this ad, and it, will be profitable to look it over carefully in making up the Saturday shopping list. Lawn mowers, hose, garden tools and in fact everything that goes to make up a hardware stock will be found quoted at marked reductions from regular prices. and There comes a time in the life of every normal boy when he discovers the dirt behind and is distressed by it.

He walked with a mincing step He told us frankly that it was wicked to play marbles for keeps “If you smoke cigarettes,” he said, “they will stunt your growth.” Of course all this was perfectly true, but we hated Claude all the more. * * ” * * * By and by we all left kiddom behind and became erudite young men and women.

P, Mills and George Kostrometinoff have been appointed citizen mem ; |bers of the board of trustees of the |Alaska Pioneers’ Home, a home which is soon to be established ¢or ay od and indigent Alaskans, by vernor Strong. The governor cted on the authority conferred by an act of the recent legislature providing for the home, The Pomona Grange, an organization composed of King ;|County farmers, spent much {money and months of time in- vestigating road building af- fairs. They submitted their re- port. The Star printed it. They stand by their report AND THE STAR STANDS BY THEM. The members of the grand jury, riding in county autos, \chaperoned by Commissioner Hamilton, made a junket trip over the best of the county ‘roads in one afternoon, and then, with a show of superior intelligence, dismissed the find- ings and the report made by ithe Grange after its months of \work and painstaking investi- gation. Maybe Commissioner Ham- lilton thinks that vindicates him. Maybe he thinks that ends the matter. BUT there are five thousand farmers in King County, and farmersare mighty hard citizens to fool. The King County farmers showed their civic pride, they ‘proved themselves good and ‘useful citizens, and they per- formed a public duty which en- titles them to the respect and commendation of every right- thinking man. Yet the grand jury, which should have appreciated this show of civic worth on the part of the farmers, which should have praised them for their unselfish work in behalf of the people, ignored or re- fused to call their witnesses, dismissed or threw out their facts and figures AND REPAID THEM WITH A FEW WORDS, SMACKING OF CONTEMPT.
