Trustees embraces many Of the best
known and most jadieioqs professional
and business men in Minnesota. It's
board of instruction numbers nine pro-.

attendance of students has been very
large, in all departments, with a

A Dog That Knew What was Needed.

''Good," said the doctor; 'they're a
very truthful breed" uf
This dog belonged to friend of
mine who used always to take him out
with him."
"A bad habit" put in the doctor;
''you should never let dog know too
much"
The dog used to wait outside for
him when he went in to call on friend.
One night they were very merry
party and they kept it up late. My
friend got very drunk. The dog finally
got restless and began to howl. A
champagne bottle just passed his nose
and he smelt it and shut up. About
two o clock in the morning my friend
came out He said goodnight, shut
the door, walked in by the garden gate
all over the flower-beds, and finally
unable to get out, he lay down on a
rose-bush and went to sleep. The dog
watched by him till the milkman came
along in the morning, picked him up
and took him home"
That's nothing" said the doctor.
"You Just wait a minute. Two or
three nights later he went and called on
his friend again and took the dog with
him. The dog waited outside little
while and began to howl. Another
champagne bottle was thrown at him.
He smelt it, winked to himself, and
trotted off He went home, scratched
at the door till the servantgirl opened

ton, made her follow him to pile of

How They Found Out What She Needed
Very Much and Had So Long "'Spected."
Daisy is little girl who lives in
Providence, R. l., and l suppose some
of the children who read this story will
laugh, and say: "Oh, my! How funny!

Long before Christmas Daisy had
been saying, very wisely; 81 'spect to
have a sled, Trismas, and wax doll +"
And she called one day on her sister
Lou, who was just married, and told
her she "'spected the doll would have
pink dress, and she con6ded to her
brother Tom, Louis husband, that she
""spected the sled to be green one. -"
So, Of course, it happened that, among
the many gifts on the Viueron Christ
mas-tree, Daisy found the expected
sled and doll. She was delighted, and
danced about like a fairy; but as she
loaded her sled with her presents, she
said with a little sigh of regret; "Here' S
my doll and oranges and candy and
popcorn balls and A b C book, but
'spected someiing else"
1t was in vain they all coaxed. Daisy
kept her own counsel in her own curly
head She often said, however: at is
stwange, because it is something l need
so much.n o..
On New Years Day another deluge
of presents came to surprise the dainty
pet There was white kitten, with
a blue ribbon round its neck; pair OF
white mittens, with swans down around
the top; satin hood trimmed with
swan s-down, and, best of all, Daisy
thought, one for the wax doll just
like it..
"They are beautiful" SAID Daisy,

Resisted sumber at the close of day,
Because he would not leave his pleasant
play;
He knew not when-nor |; his treasures small

Baby caresses would have touched my lips
If he had known; he would have said

Touch his blue eyes and rosy fnger-tips.
We fall asleep at eve, forgetting all
The pleasure and the pain that filled the
day;
If In our slumber we should pass away,
And silence on our hearts and lips should fall,
We should go out from our accustomed
places
Without regret, nor crave the life we leave;
No bitter parting would our spirits grieve;
We should be spared the last sad fond en-
braces.
o loving friends and true, come not to weep,
IL should sleep and painless pass away;
He whom God loves has little need to pray;
Surely to His beloved comes death in sleep.

the family beauty and attractiyeness,
and the very fact that she is
made unapproachable only adds to the
charm and fascination of her being Every
weil-reguiated young man will begin his
counting with the parents or guardians; if
it is the elder sister he is after, the path is
usually broad and smooth once they are
won to his cause But if he goes a step
lower he has another conquest to make no
less one than the elder sister-unless. per-
chance, some other young man comes
along and removes her for cause. The
difficulties to be encountered when there
are half dozen sisters and the young man
is after the youngest, may be readily appre-
ciated 1t is not surprising that frequently
the first thing the young man knows he
finds himself blocked half way down the
steps of sisters by an engagement into
which he had fallen while endeavoring TO
get enough into the good graces to be al
lowed TO pass down. Such an accident may
be taken philosophically or the young man
may get desperate. as did the Ohio young
man, and abandon all right and scorn the
verdict of society in his desperation to
gain his perfectly legitimate end. This re-
port of the Ohio case states that the girl
who fled TO Pittsburg was youngest sister,
and there is no knowing how many times
the young man would have had to have
jeopardized himself and his happiness had
he pursued a course that, while undoubt
edly proper, is extremely severe. Inasmuch
as the Oldest sister herself suggested the
arrangement for the picnic ii is not unrea-
sonable 10 suppose, and reflects great credit
on her, that she fully understood the situa-
ton, and with womanly tact found a way
TO help the young lover out without sub
jeeling him to run the gantIet of the be-
tween sisters. At any rate, such a young
man will have the full sympathy of all
other young men far and wide, who can
condone his fault, great as it may appear
on the surface, and serious breach as it
undoubtedly is, as they can appreciate the
extremity of his sad situation.-[ Provi-

less communication has been well estab-

travel. The first party addressed is not at

the envelope and proceeds on his way. At
