The Grand Rapids busi-| ness will continue under their man. agement. : Senator D. M. Gunn came up from St. Paul Saturday night and spent the first of the week looking after business affairs. The senator has been assigned to a number of im- }portant committee duties and will be kept unusually busy during the session. He expetes to see some im- portant legislation enacted during the winter, including raepportion- ment, J. D. Doran represented the Grand Rapids base ball interests at the meeting of the magnates of the neighboring towns at Chisholm Saturday last. The Grand Rapids club was the only one sending a personal representative to the gath- ering, all the others sending in re- ports and regrets. Among the peo- ple to whom Mr. Doran talked, how- ever, the sentiment seemed strong- ‘ly in favor of including our town jin the proposed trolley circuit, and all further steps will be taken with this end in view. The next meet- ing to discuss this matter will be held at Grand Rapids on a date to be decided later. The district Sunday school con- vention at Warba last Saturday was well attended—Grand Rapids send- ing a delegation of seven to repre- sent the workers of the town. The program was most interesting and entertaining and great enthusiasm } was aroused in the work of the as- sociation. The sessions began at 3 p. m. and after an intermission, during which an excellent lunch was served, by the ladies of the church, was continued until 10:30, in the evening. There was not a dull nor waisted moment, and all departed feeling that Sunday school work had advanced in interest and appreciation. The speakers were: Rev. Hursh ef Cohasset, Rev. Bur- rows of Grand Rapids, Miss Rob- {erts, Miss Bryan and Mrs. McCarthy Durnig the coming week the Gem theatre will put on some of the best pictures seen here this seas- on. Monday and Tuesday, the 20th and 21st, there will be two rous- Ling comedies, .“‘His.,,Auto,.

While it is true the prices for the raw material have increased, it is also true that it costs us more to. get it out. We are now com- pelled to pay our men twice as much as formerly, while the long hauls also bring the cost up con- siderably.” Vill Provides Rink At a meeting of the village coun- cil held last evening it was decid- ed to establish a free ice rink for the benefit of the school child- ren in partieular and public gener- ally. The site chosen will no doubt be the flats on the river bank, just east of the Leland avenue bridge as this is both central and conveni- ent to water for flooding purposes. This move on the part of the vil- lage ought to prove most popular as it provides a place for healthful exercise and sport without the dan- ger attending skating on ponds and lakes. ITASCA’S SCHOOLS — CONSIDERED BEST Bovey Attorney Does a Little Boost- ing While at the Head of the Lakes, E. H. Bither of Bovey, while in Duluth recently, took occassion to say some deservedly good things concerning Itasca county’s Schools. Mr. Bither is a lawyer, but good schools are his hobby. He is of the opinion that the Canesteo dis- trict, which includes the villages of Bovey, Coleraine, Taconite, Holman, Marble and Calumet, on the Mesaba range, and which is also the bound- ary of school district No. 2 in Itas- ea county, has the best system of schools in northern Minnesota. “Our schools are not hampered on account of lack of funds,” he said. “Our buildings are among th most modern on the range. They are equipped with the proper. faci- lities, and have efficient teachers. We have everything that is to be desired, with the exception, per- haps, of a consolidated school to take care of the pupils in the coun try. On account of the mines, all the villages in the district have high valuations, and we are spend- and Domestic Science.

What would the boys and girls of today, who grumble over their daily stint of twenty words, think of a child not yet six years old who could actually spell every word in the lan- guage! That is what the young Horace igs said to have been able to do. His schooling began in his fourth year, and the art of spelling at once j- became a passion with him. In school and out he kept incessantly at its study. Hour after hour he would lie on the floor, spelling over all the diffi- cult words he could find in the few books that the family owned. The fame of his prowess spread. Naturally Horace was the first one chosen at spelling matches. He had a lisping, whining voice and spelled his words with the utmost confidence. Sometimes in winter, when the snow- drifts were so deep that one of the big boys had to take him to the school- house on his back, the little white haired fellow would drop asleep be- tween turns. When his word came round his neighbor would nudge him anxiously. He would wake, spell his word and drop asleep again at once. So great was the boy’s reputation as a student of unusual powers that the selectmen of a neighboring town, in passing a rule forbidding the attend- ance at the local school of any pupil from outside the township, honored him by adding the clause, “Excepting only Horace Greeley.”—Youth’s Com- panion. Sa 8 This incident is related of a Scotch doctor, new to the gun, who adven- tured upon a day’s rabbit shooting. Chased by the ferrets, bunny was a rather quick moving target, and the medico was not meeting with the suc- cess he anticipated. “Hang it all, man,” he exclaimed im- patiently to the keeper who accom- panied him; “these beasts are too quick for me!” “Aye, doctor,” the pawky keeper re- plied, “but ye surely didna expect them tae lie still like yer patients till ye kill them?” Yet He Liked Fresh Air. “My husband was at a smoker Sat- urday night and never got home until about 1 o’clock.” “Was that why he wasn’t at church Sunday morning?” “No; he says the ventilation is so poor in church and the atmosphere al- ways gets so heavy that he can’t keep awake.”—Judge.
