HIGH SCHOOL, TIDINGS.

. A new system regarding final exami nations has beerr adopted this, year by our faculty. As the plans no stand a- person- whose- class grade and month ly tests average ninety or above and who has "not been ' absent more than twice or tardy more than once in any one month, will be exempt from the final examinations. These examinations will be from two and one-half to three hrurs in length and they are to 'cover the whole semester's work. Our German department seems to be very strong thl3 year, there being 68 first year 'students, 45 second year, and 14 third year. All of these, with the exception of four, have made 90 or bet ter in their class work and five of the second year class alone have made 90 in their written work. The Misses Browns who are attending St. Marys at South Bend", report it a most pleasant place. . Miss Eugenia is taking the regular academy course while Frances Is specializing in several subjects. Wonder if the Girls' Rooter Club couldn't be made a little bit larger. Last Saturday there were a few loyal ones out, but really thre is a great amount of room for improvement. The Crown Point H. S., according ta reports, again met defeat at the hands of their town team, while our boys were winning 16 to 0. South Bend has written for a game for next Saturday, at their city. Som more honor coming our way. Miss Ibach can surely play the march music, alright. . A literary program will be given Friday, Oct. 9, by the Athenian and Ionian societies. - ' : The probably the girls of the W. B. G. club could hand out the desired information regarding the new style of hair dressing which was in vogue last week. C'h-'-those exams how they are coming thisfTeek, we're, awful glad they only come knee a month. .. . i Last weekhe board of education voted J120 to e used for physical appuaratus in out laboratory. Owing to this. fact, all Experiments this year will have bette attention than ever before. ' " At last the desired information has arrived. The footblll schedule is complete. Tt is very hiavy and if we are victorious ih these .contests the championship is assured, This Is our schedule: - Oct. 3. South Bend at South Bend. Oct. 10 LapcHfte at Hammond. Oct. 17 MJnigan City at Michigan City. . ' Oct. 21--Rensselaer at Hammond. Oct.. il Crown Point at Crown Point. Niv. 14 Crown Point at Hammond. , ..Nov. 21 Rensselaer at Rensselaeer. Careful observation will show that we have but three games at home this year, so on those days days we had ought to have a good crowd. A good plan would be to cut out this artic-l0 and Iceep it so you would know exactly when and where "our team plays. . - Tuesday was the first day for exam ination and they will be given each day for the remainder of the week. Some were lucky and so far have escaped but their time will come. It Is the intention of the faculty to read and have the names published of all students whose grades are above 90 per cent There is some speculation as to how many wfll be among the lucky ones, but no doubt there will be a good num ber. Principal McElroy gave a few re marks as to the rules of the exam s, such as having no work but entirely your own on the paper. As usual on Tuesday Superintendent McDanlel had charge of opening exercises yesterday morning. This topic was was an illustration in football such as knowing the plays and then playing the game. This he then ap plied to the conditions existing in life and his talk was a very interesting one, It was announced that the orchestra would practice last evening at four under direction of Prof. Learning. The new way of passing from the assembly after -dismissal works well and the music helps It a great deal. The Seniors are now wearing a broad smile for the petition framed by them has been granted and consequently they mareh first Instead of last. The comedy company will hold a meeting this evening at "7:30 p. m. to transact some Important business which now lies before the company.

Parker had been courting Mary Stevens for a year -when he went; to her father to ask .the usual question. Jed was a young and worthy farmer llrlng at the top of Golden hill, and Jim Stevens, as he was familiarly called, lived in the village at the foot of the hill and was a contractor. His work was In the country around more than in the village. He was well liked, but people said he had some odd ideas. Jed Parker bumped up against one of those odd ideas as soon as he had stated his case to the father. . "Look here, Jed," was the reply. "Of course I know that you have been hanging around here a good deal, and I reasoned it out that Mary was the attraction. You are spoken of as a fine young man, and I have no objection to you as a son-in-law. I cannot say yes, however, until you have done something to distinguish yourself. I had killed a mad dog, hot at a horse thief and licked a lightning rod man before I was your age. I like you, Jed, but I want a hero for a son-in-law, and the sooner you toe the mark the sooner you and Mary can get married." Jed didn't kick over the traces and raise a row, but came to the house as usual. Things were in statu quo when December and the snow and ice came. Golden hill was a pretty steep hill, and the road winding up was half a mile long. In winter, when the road was slippery, teams went a mile around rather than go up or down. Such of the village boys as had the ambition to drag their sleds to the top came down with such momentum that they were carried through the village and to the foot of a hill on the other sid?. Mr. Stevens had In his employ as contractor a gang of Italians. As winter came on they were just finishing up grading the highway three miles away. There was some misunderstanding about the pay for overwork. They made threats, but the contractor refused to be bulldozed. They hung about the village, muttering and menacing, and finally decided to take the law into their own hands. At 7 o'clock one evening a deputation called at Stevens' house and captured him before he knew what was up. He was taken out on the street and told that he must cither pay or hang. The villagers gathered, but they were not strong enough to interfere. It was then that Mary sent a boy speeding up the long hill to bear the news to Jed. "Go as fast as you can," she said. "Tell Jed that they are going to hang father. Tell him to come to the rescue. Tell him that I Sent you. Tell him it's his chance to be a hero. Run as you never ran before, and III give you a dollar." "What's a hero?" "Never mind, but fly!" The road was packed with snow and Ice on top of that, but the boy got there. "By gosh!" was Jed's only reply, and he began to hustle. lie had been drawing up wood that afternoon, and the bobsleds were lu

"Jim, ,we are going down the, hill a-kiting. You sit in front and begin .blowing the horn as soon as we start. Blow, blow, blow! Hang on and blow. I'll sit behind and steer. ' Now; then, we're off." The contractor was a man "with eand. Even when he saw the ropes In the hands of the excited and determined, gang be would not give In. - They led him over the bridge to' the foot, of the hill, and as he was still obstinate they prepared to hang him to a handy limb. In fact, they did hang him. There were thirty in the gang, and while some kept back the villagers with their knives the others pulled on the rope and made it fast. Just as there was every prospect that the lynching business would be an un-' qualified success the blare of a horn was heard up the hill, accompanied by screeches and yells. Jed and the boy and the bobsleds were coming. They came like a runaway locomotive. The crowd hadn't time to take in the situation when the sled was upoc them. It plowed through them like a shovel through flour. It ran over some; It flung others twenty feet away; it sent others sky high. There was scarcely a man left on his feet when the led had passed, and this was the moment when Mary and a citizen or two came up and lowered the wriggling body. Over the bridge and through the village and half a mile beyond went the runaway, and by the time Jed got back to the bridge on foot the contractor had been carried to his own house and a doctor was working over him.
