In staple groceries he can meet all requirements, while his Teas, Coffees, Butter, Cheese, Pickles, Canned Goods and spices are absolutely the best that can be procurred in town.

The board | of cducation, and the parents of the j chidien who attend in rooms one and two, are cordially invited to be esent. are very sorry on account of the limited ting eapac- ity that a general invitation cannot to dil be extended patrons of the ' school. Rolland Alderson and Henry Blanchard are absent {rom room one on account ot sicknegs. The geography class in the seventh grade are pushing close on the heels ‘ot the geo rraphv class in thé eighth “grade. If they continue to advance jas thev have keen dce'ng, they will istand a chance of passing the Janu- ary examination almost equal with the cizhth grade pupils. H. B. McConnell, representing Werner Publishing company, made a complimentary callupon Mr, Carroll Tuesday. It would be weil if the parents and patrons of the school could find time to show the interest which they feel in the school work, by jan occa- sional visit to the “liflereny rooms. We seldom see the tages of thiose who itis presumed have the greatest in terest in us, except, when | visitors fromabroad are to be shopvn over the building. It gives us, sometime, the impression that the interest 1s in the building rather than ji in the quality of work done. ] The eighth grade now \contains pupils in four different | classes. Bertha Fuller is now doing work which will aliow her to ee course. Six pupils, Louise Gilbert, Bessie Berry, Cora be cpa larvis Partridge, John Crawford,! and Ella Brooks, ¢ are doing regular first year high school work. } j Ada Kremer, Maimie Shej* 7, Grace Polley, Ida Dorap, Taney Slocum, Alexander Vient, Lizzie) Whaling; Jean Beery, Roy Lothrop, Harry | Varley. and.

[tis the intertion to su sti- tuteextri work in arithmetic and grammar for the study dropped. | The ‘spelling match in room six re- sulted in a tie between Grace Yancey | and John Foley. In a letter from Clyde Buffum, who} with his mother recently moved to Fort Sill, Oklahoma, written to John Fcley, he says he 1s attending a school in which the-e are ore’ hundred fifty | Indian children. He also states that he goes barefooted every day, and that when it rains it continues fof a week, His mother teaches the cook- ing department in the school. Louise Gilbert in absent from scnool on account of sickness. A letter from Mrs. Groves says that her mother is no’ better and that she is unable to tell when she will return. Ella Tully has been absent from the seventh room because of sickness. The order has been made out for the questions for the mid-winter ex- aminations. An umbrella was recently left in the lower hall. Owner may have the same by calliug at the school house. Hereafter no scholars will be kept after four c’clock, unless under very exceptional circumstances. The doots will be locked at five o’clock. ‘The monthly examinations begin next week. Once More a Financier. Louis F. Menage, now and former- ly of the city of Minneapolis, is once again without stain or blemish finan- cially or morally, so far as a kindly disposed and blindfold justice can ren- der him. Itis being said, further- more, that he isa free man, but that might have gone without saying. When he returned voluntanly to Min- neapolis some months ago, he was as free to come or go as he is today, and before he had returned tovhis native heather he had been as free to go, if not to come, as he had ever been be- fore in his active and adventurous career. ‘From the position of being a sane millionaire, Mr. Menage ' stepped down in an hour to the position of be- substance in various foreign lands, So told at least. many of usnot believe. He had been gone many weeks before he missed. He had had before his de- parture and he continued to have thereafter. the resources of a great financial magnet at his disposal. ‘That he did not, if he did not, avail himself of those resources merely shows that Mr. Menage was quite as far- we are was mot jsighted a gentleman as his trdisting | had believed him financial friends to be. Beginning life witlout a shilling is a discouraging process in any event, even when attended by the high hopes which health and inexperience be- get. But to begin life as Mr. Men- age does, with characteristics of the the but without the means whereby to command the good offices of even a fashionable tailor, is peculiarly heart- rending. But there is no evidence be- fore the world that this great ex- financier is in. the slightest measure disheartened. He takes up again the burden of finance, and he trusts to the faith and confidence of those who loved him and Jost, as well as of those who neither loved nor lost, to become | if not what he was of yore, at least considerable of a cog in the great machine of business and finance.— St. Paul Globe.

It nculcates the virtues of hospitality and friendship which were the. traits of character carried into practice by those denizens of the forest long be fore the baleful effects of the'pale- faces intended to disfigure and cor- rupt. uate the memory of this, the noblest type of man tound in his natural state. | Who, in coinparison, can sy that the civilization found in Mexico by the Spaniards. did not outshine that of the brutal conquerer. Who will dare to claim that Figarro did not sink be- low ihe kind hospitality of the Incas. |The Indian, wherever found by the |bloody greed of the white man ever extended. the open hand of wel- come, aud gave freely of his store for the aid of his paleface friend. So | with the Order founded to memonze | their charitable characteristics. It is brotherly in_ its conception, charita- ble in its meetings, and benevolent in its precepts. It seeks to build up by ;steps progressive and patriotic. It | desires to be broad in mind; honest nm and eternally right. If it fails it 1s an error of judgment and not of head. A faithful Red Man is always a good citizen. ‘Truth, sincerity and justice are attributes taught and practiced. The Red Men do not claim to be per- fect, but insist that they are as near as other orders to the ultimatum.” The council fire is the is the mecca around which gather those who haye pledged themselves to freedom, friendship and charity. At no shrine mundane is then acioser relationship .then when the Red Men rest from their traitings. Over $600,000 paid for relief last year, isa strong argument in favor of benevolence. Large as this sum 1s, it still fails to record all of the benefits extended through the quiet, broad- minded channels of unannounced charity. its stability is assured. Age has given it the: signet of worth and set the seal of wisdom as a monument to its founders. Years will come and go, but the Red Men will descend aith time as a part of the history of the world without which tkese would ‘be an unfulfilled nich. J. D.
