GILMAN GATHERINGS. -

GILMAN GATHERINGS.
Nels A. Nelson has returned home.
Nils Hanson Mo. has sold his team,
harness, and wagon to Mrs. Holcomb.
John Jurnson, pathmaster. has as
usual, done very creditable work on
the road.
A beautiful young span of horses,
belonging to Halvor Torkolson, was
stolen from the pasture last Thursday
night. One of them returned the
next morning with bride on that
had been stolen from Henry Grapes
barn. Evidently the horse had broken
away from the thief.
There seems TO be a difference of
opinion concerning the new enemy of
the wheat, which for the last three
years has attacked the crop as soon as
the wheat shows little green. There
is no doubt that the wire worm in
lures it to some extent as it has for
many years. But this new pest is a
black beetle. We know from close
observation ever since it first appear
ed. Look closely at the ground in
those spots most injured and you viii
find it honey -combed with small holes.
These are the burrows of the beetle.
They are now about two thirds grown,
and their season for damaging the
crop is about over; but, in harvest,
you see them full grown, half an inch
in length and popping in and out OF
their holes gopher-fashion. They are
then numerous enough to blaeken the
ground. In blowing eight inches deep
| in the spring, we have seen those bur-
rows attending still deeper. The old
ones do not survive the winter, their
young come up from those deep bur-
rows and feed on the growing shoots.
Does any one know of a remedy We
are trying seeding down and await re-
suits.

A Teachers Mistakes.

1t is a mistake to try to teach with
out having good order.
1t is mistake to try to startle a
class into being orderly.
1t is a mistake for the teacher to
try to drown the noise of his pupils
by making greater noise himself.
1t is a mistake to call for order in
general terms, no matter how quietly
it may be done.
1t is mistake to ask questions of
pupils in rotation.
No pupil should ever know who is
likely to receive question until it has
been given.
1t is a mistake to repeat question
for the sake of those who do not hear
it the first time.
1t is a mistake to look fxedly at the
pupil who is reading or answering.
1t is a mistake to assign lessons
without previously explaining them.

THE Republican Congressional Com
mittee has levied political assess
ment for campaign purposes upon the
pages of the two houses of Congress,
and in referring to this matter the
New York Herald says: eff great
party in any country or in any age
ever before picked pence from the
pockets of children for political pur-
poses, history has failed to record it.
1t seems, however, that the machine
managers of the party are determined
this year to levy political blackmail
upon every one who holds position
under it."

WISCONSIN SUNDAY SCHOOL ASSEMBLY.

If any of our readers intend visiting
the beautiful capital city of Wiscon-
sin during the approaching summer
season we would advise them to so
time their visit as to be present at the
Monona Lake Assembly, which will
convene on Tuesday, July 25th, and
continue until the close of Friday,
August 4th. This Assembly will be
one of unusual interest and the pro-
gramme so varied as to prove enter
tanning as well as instructive to all
good citizens whether or not they are
of religious turn of mind. Exercis-
es in the different departments will be
conducted by gentlemen of acknowl-
edged ability and special days will be
observed in the following order;
Children's days, July 9th and August
Sd; Y. NJ. C. A. day, July goth; Mis-
sionary day, July 31st; Temperance
day, August ID; National day, August
4sh. The last day Will be the one of
most general interest, the morning
hour of which will be occupied by Ex-
Vice President Colfax in the delivery
of his lecture on ''Our Martyred Pres
idents, Lincoln and Garfield" Fol-
lowing this lecture will be patriotic
addresses by orators of national repu-
tation, making the entire day one to
be enjoyed by all liberty-loving people
who can be present. If sufficient
number would join together car
could doubtless be chartered so rea-
sonable as to bring the fare for the
round trip somewhat below excursion
rates, and we throw out the sugges-
ton for the consideration of those
who may wish to join the throng that
viii take in the attractions of Madi-
son during the Assembly.

of the machine to nominate. Some of

ford Star and News, which says: 1--WE
tell you old political wet nurses again;
that the young republicans of the
west have lain aside their clouts, and
don want your services in that ca
pacity any longer. You can come

mend it--but we want new deal. and
if we are not mistaken in the indica-
tions of the political barometer, we're
going to have it,

Dear Friend

| will write few words
here to let you know my plan for pre-
venting whispering, as it is the first
time have been successful in this.
After the first week of school, got
up Roll of Honor for those who would
not whisper for the next four weeks.
Nearly all the pupils gave in their
names voluntarily. | now have my
Roll made out in as good style as pos
sible for the first month, and they
seem proud to have their names en-
rolled on it.
have made another proposition to
them which they seem to like, viz:
am going to get up Grand Roll OF
Honor for the Term. Those who do
not whisper during the term, will
have their names entered upon it at
the close of the term, and it Will be
posted in the school-room to be exhib-
tied to the parents on the last day.
/ find this an excellent preventative
for whispering which is the bane of
so many schools. Also by this means.
urge upon them the necessity of self
control. according to the old maxim,
He who conquers self is the greatest
