CONTRACTS BROKEN,

One point which seems to have caused special annoyance in con- nection with the announcement that now telephons rates are to come inte operation forthwith, is the breaking of current contracts Subscribere have received intim- ation that the new rates will come into force in April, even though the subscription covers a period Markie Muskrat had a bank on the mantel-shelf upstairs, a fat beyond that date, and those who tin fish that swallowed pennies, and when his mother refused to have already made represent- give him & cant for chewing-gum, he got to thinking of it and about ations regarding this point have the last time he had dropped in a penny.

Up he slipped to the bedroom-shelf, tipped up Mr. Chub, as he called his fish-bank, and out popped Mr Penny. Then he flew to the store, bought a stick of crawfish chewing-gum, and got to school just as the bell rang to come to order, panting and perspiring, but happy as a king.

For although Scribble Scratch, the fairy schoolmaster, was very keen of sight, with his big specks he couldn't see everybody do every little thing all the time, even with Nancy to help-Nick, too, sometimes. But those others!

He'd have stuck the chewing-gum inside his desk, only there when't any inside to it, just an outside, for the desks in Mandow Grove School were all stones, you know, the seats, too, for that matter.

Markie rolled his gum into his cheek and sat still, managing pretty well when it came his turn to answer a question. But when they started to sing and maroh-oh, my! He didn't know what to do.

Proteste were made against the new telephone charges at a meeting of the Convention of Royal Burghs in Edinburgh.
