SehOol recommended at Pierce Val

vacation on account of the measles.
Miss l. idoska Walters returned home
in time to attend her mothers funeral
We understand she has come home to
stay.
Mr. and Mrs. Raymer, of Mortified,
are visiting Mrs. r. daughter, Mrs
Aram Shepard.
DIED In Clifton. Jan. 9Th, Mrs. A !.
Walters, aged 50 years. The deceased
WAS an amiable, lUvable woman, who
for more than IA score of years has
lived among us, universally respected
as "A neighbOr and friend. Ailments
of several years standing, complicated
with the measles, were the cause of
her death. The funeral services were
conducted by Mrs. Raymer, of North
field, MINI. A husband, son and
daughter, and three step-sons, mourn
her irreparable loss.
We clip the following items from
the CroOkston Times:
Miss Gertie Wright returned to her
school in Hudson, Wis, last week
where she will teach another term,
after which size will attend the Nor
NAL school at River Falls a term, when
she expects to graduate and will re-
turn to CrookstOn, and take up her
permanent residence. She is daugh.
ter of Mr.. G.. w. Wright, who is CON
nected with Messrs Erskine & Childs
in the brick yard at South Crookston.
AN IMPORTANT INDUsTRY
C. w. Wright, who is interested with
Messrs. Erskine & Childs in the brick
yards on the south side, was in to SEE
the Times on Wednesday and informed
us that they are making preparat Ons
for a big seasons work when spring
opens up. They have already pur-
chased over 800 cords of green hard
wood and 400 cords of slabs to be used
IN burning their brick. They expect
to begin work about month earlier
than usual next spring. HeI etofore
they have been obliged to wait until
the ground thawed out before they
could begin getting out their clay
Last fall they got out sufficient clay
for their first kiln before it froZe up
and spread il out over the top Of the
ground. so that as soon as the first
thaw comes they can begin manufact-
uring. They expect to be able to fire
up their first kiln sometime in april.
Orders are now irving every day for
brick for The building boom which is
To be inaugurated in the spring, and
they now have orders for about one
million for this purpose, besides other
orders of which they do not CAFE TO
speak at present. Mr.. Wright thinks
there is no doubt but the number ~
brick manufactured next season will
exceed that of all the previous years
combined, and with the improved ina
chinery they have put in will be of a
much better quality.

Railway System Of Germany.

The Importance of the railway sys-
tenn to the army in the way of 1870
IL has led the government to treat
it more and more as O branch of the
war department. The officials are
preferred who can be turned to good
account in war time; military dis
cipline is maintained between the
employees of different ranks; the
workmen salute their employers al
ways in rigid military form. An En-
glishman or American who steps out
for the first time upon a German
railway platform cannot but feel
that he is an intruder in some mill
tary rehearsal. He hears stern COM
mands, sharp shifting of warlike
heels; sees the dress of soldiers and
other signs of military control. The
passengers are treated as though all
are under the authority of the of
ficials and sworn to prompt obedi-
ence; if they ask question it is with
much diffidence, and if they get q
rough, sharp answer it would not
occur to them to resent it. The Of
ficials, however, do not mean to be
uncivil-they find it difficult to be
soldiers and railway porters at the
same time-that is all.-Poultney

Swallowed His False Teeth.

Mr.. A. L. Shailer, proprietor of the
Smaller House at Saybrook, was TAX
en- to New Haven recently for
treatment. He had swallowed his
false teeth and they were stuck about
seven inches down his throat. The
local physicians tried in vain to get
them up and then took him to the
New Haven hospital. There several
: physicians worked-at him about an
hour. The New Haven Palladium
says: "Their patient was at that
time nearly exhausted from the Sc
1Eere strain which he had undergone
during the unsuccessful prosecution
of the operation. The physicians
were standing about him consulting
as to what was best to be done, when
Mr.. Smaller coughed with q mighty
effort, and placing his hand to his
mouth clenched something and with
drew it. He closed his fingers so
tightly that it required several min
utes' work before they could be
loosened, and when they were, the
falss tssth were revealed"

Remembered in q Dream,
Hartford Times.

Hartford Times.
A prominent business man in Wat
erbury was, until recently, in the hab-
it of giving large sums of money,
which had been taken in after bank
ing hours, into the hands of his wife
for safekeeping. On the 9Th of June
he handed her 81 900 in bills, and
at the same time remarked that he
would deposit the money in the bank
in the morning.
After breakfast the bills were called
for, but the woman had forgotten
where they were secreted. A general
search was instituted. Bureau drawers
were upset, cupboards and closets
ransacked, even carpets taken up;
but still the missing money could not
be found. The irate husband stormed
and swore by note, but the result re-
mained the same.
1t was finally believed that the
money had been stolen. The house
was again put in order, but the wife
received no more deposits for safe
keeping. Sunday night she had q
vivid dream, in which was revealed
the moneys hiding place. Hastily
arising from her couch she lifted the
lid of IN antique chest and unfolded
q pair of blankets, when the money
rolled out! 4

Governor Taylor and Mr.. Gaines.

Gaines is q pompous little chap
who married a daughter of Colonel
Cole-ri:hest man in Nashville-and
has all the boss laughing at him
for eternally Dragging othis father-in-
law. Gaines, wanting to see Govern
er Taylor about something one day,
marched into his private Office, where
he was busily writing.
"Good morning, sir" said the
governor, looking up; "Take q chair:
I'll be through in o moment''-and
vert on writing.
"But, governor, perhaps you do
not know who lam. 1 am Mr.. Gaines. "
"Glad to know you, MIR. Gaines;
take a chair; l will be at leisure in a
moment" said the governor, busily
writing ahead.
"But, governor" expostulated
Gaines" !" evidently you do not know
that am Colonel Coles son-in. law"
The governor glanced up again
and said in the same quiet tone: "Ah.
Mr.. Gaines, take tvs chairs"-and
went on writing.

About Marriage and Divorce.

San Francisco Chronicle.-I sup
pose it will not be long before in fe-
male seminaries they will have
lectures on divorce. There are already
various forms of lectures on matri-
mony. And as divorce is getting to
be a regular experience, why, it will
be just as well that something about
the law on both subjects should be
taught in schools. Time was when
the mother was proud to see her
daughter settled in life by marriage.
But nowadays there is so m,soh un-
certainty about it that the oil folks
have to keep a spare room acSays
ready for her return. By and by in
colleges we will have a regular en-
\atnination on the subject.
~ ''What is the difference between
marriage and divorce?"
Answer. Marriage contracts two
into one; divorce expands one into
four"
''What is marriage, anyway"
Marriage is an experiment for the
benefit of second husband"

''Divorce is vacation in matri
mony."

"lou said you saw her making the
Illuminated texts"
'Man alive! said I saw her max.
ing them, but my her is not Miss
WEXFORD. 1t is a sweet girl who
maintains herself and an invalid aunt
by illuminating these texts" s
"Clara told me she herself made
them| cried Elsley. .
"Ihen Clara misrepresented affairs
most egregiously. Iknow that they
were made by my friend, for I saw
them both on her table, and she
working at the gliding and lettering,
when was there yesterday morning
to carry little wine and jelly to the
sick aunt"
A curious revulsion offeeling passed
through Mr.. Elsley's mind. Clara,
then, had deceived him, deliberately
and OF intent. Clara had made false
pretences-the girl he believed to be
so taultless. And-but here Mr.. Cly-
mer's voice broke in upon the disa-
greeable thread of musings.
"And thought Of course, when
saw the texts here that you had or.
dered them of Stella"
els that her name?"
"Yes-Stella Barringer. They were
well-to-do people once, believe, but
are sadly reduced; and I must say
that l neversaw such spirit and sweet
ness and courage in any woman be-

every we'll. I'll go with you and

signedly; "though I don't know ex-
actly where these Illuminated texts
are going to lead"
Stella Barringer was busy at an
elaborate text all gold and blue and
little curly arabesaues, when there
came an imperative tapping at the
door.
"Come in,,' she said quietly, sup
posing, of course, that it was the
booksellers man after the pile of
completed work that lay ready to
be sent home. But no; instead of
the pockmarked booksellers appren-
tice, it was Love and Youth and the
Past that came brightly across her
vision.
"Ralph!'' The brush dropped
from her fingers, making a great
scarlet pool on the very choicest of
her paper.
"Stella!'
$50 they were married, and lived
happy ever after''-of course, otter
the usual amount of explanation
and retrospection. And when Miss
Wexford called the next day to pay
her bill she found that Stella Barrin-
ger was making preparation to re-
move from the dingy little lodgings
she had SO long inhabited.
Those illuminated texts were the
worst investment that Clara Wrex.
ford ever made.

\. \ Ina grosp 81 Cong re.sssnens several
days ago the conversation turned on
Mayor Hewitt's declaration in favor
sofmaking an alien subject to q pro-
bation of fourteen years before his
admission to the privileges of Amcri-
'caaE citizenship. After a good deal
had been said in favor of and against
III Hewitt's proposition Butter
worth, of Ohio, as usual, was remind
edSof SO little story" He said:
aJndge Sage believed in a strict as
wen as impartial administration of
his Office and he finally became dis
:gusted with the perfunctory manner
In which aliens were clothed with the
privileges of American citizenship,
and announced that he would grant
no certificate of naturalization to q
man who could not read, or had not
read the Constitution of the United
States. Now Judge Sage had in his
service bright, keen Irishman, Pat
rick Riley by name, and one day
when he was on the bench Patrick
entered with friend and stood
twirling his hat with his fingers.
Well, Patrick" said the Judge,
What is it? Can I do anything for
"Well yer Honor, it's me friend
Moike Doolan, yer Honor, who wants
to be naturalized,' says Pat.
DO you know him? Is he O man
OF good character who will make q
good citizen?'
NsOh, yis yer Honor, Iknow him in
timately and he will make an illigant
citizen Come forrud Moike, and
spake wild his Honor
'Moike' came forward, about as
green specimen from the Emerald
Isle as the Judge ever had seen.
I" well, Mr.. Doolan,' said Judge
Sage, you desire to become a citizen
of the United States?'
HE does that, yer Honor said
Pat.
DO you realize Mr.. Doolan, that
1t is q very important step which you
are about to take-to renounce your
allegiance to.every foreign prince and
potentate, and to swear to bear true
faith and allegiance to the United
States and support and defend the
Constitution of the-by the way; Mr.
Doolan, have you ever read the Con
stitrtion of the United States?'
"Perhaps sMoike' had never heard
of the Constitution of the United
States before; at any rate he never
had read it, and he had to answer ir
the negative. Patrick looked at him
with q countenance full of reproach
and said:
s'Ah, Moike, We desaved me. Why
didn't ye. tell me ye niver had read
the Constitooshun?'
well well, said the Judge, here's
q copy of the Constitution, Patrick
you and Mr.. Doolan may go to some
quiet place where he can read it,
yThey retired, and he returned ir
s than five minutes. Patrick's
face was beaming as he again ap
preached the bench with his country
man and addressed the court.

Constitooshun, and he's deloightec

you know, to become acquainted
with the world in general"
"What did she say?"
"She has said q good many things

"Then you know her O long timer"
questioned Mr.. Elsley, beginning to
feel q sensation which was not exact
