"Our little ones seem to imbibe the enthusiasm of political campaigns," said Miss Peterson. Among our handsome hand-some and proud little men, rione can excel little Paul Chez, son of the Senator Sena-tor and Mrs. Joseph Chez. One morn, ing just after the election of November Novem-ber 7, the boy, who was always scrup ulously clean and immaculately dressed, came to school a trifle disheveled dis-heveled in appearance. He was painfully pain-fully awaro of the fact and, being a perfect gentleman, he quietly apolo. gized to his teacher. Tm afraid I do not appear altogether presentable he said, 'but I could not help it. I-I met a Hughes boy down the street and he said something about President YfiU son, and I licked him!' He was forgiven for-given on the spot, of course." This was one of the supervisor's delightful de-lightful stories. She told two or three others illustrating the amusing ideas of children and old ladles and how to be happy, though single. Judge Arthur Kuhn, on whom this title was bestowed by common consent con-sent at the famous bar association banquet some time ago, nominated Miss Peterson for superintendent o schools. The seconding and election was by acclamation. Gracefully acknowledging ac-knowledging the compliment, Miss Peterson immediately appointed Miss Clancy, her chief assistant. Scribes Disappointed. The news-scribes were greatly disap. pointed because there was no scrap. They had new note-books and extra pencils and their eyes shone with eag. er anticpation. They were glum when they saw the fun wa3 deferred and grumbled about having "passed up the basketball at Weber academy and the fight festival at the armory."
