seems easy for the titled to draw large
pensions. We nod our heads approx
ingiy when some general. or captain
gets an increase of the already large
pension. But think The officers did
their work well, but what did the pri-
Yates do! Did they not show as great
a degree of loyalty in obeying as the
officers did in commandingi Were they
not at the front too! Did they not
face as fearlessly the shot and SHELF
1t is not becoming for as TO draw a
line between the deserving or unde-
serving. We know the country was
saved for us and that should be
enough. We know these men who
to-day have met to pay their yearly
floral tribute to their sleeping com.
rades, helped by those upon whose
graves the flowers will soon be wither-
ing, are the ones who did we'll their
part. And | beg of you, young man,
when you cast your next vote, cast it
for men who do not grudge the saw
Tors of our country each generous
share OF the nations "surplus."
Let us not be afraid to banquet
these old "boys who wore the blue. "
In "war time" there was nothing
good enough-now they prepare the
banquets for us. The patriotism that
flooded the veins at that time seems
to have retreated, and only those who
fought remember.
l have often wondered how the
great men of l776 would feel if they
could look upon the 4th of July as we
celebrate it. | think they would be
saddened even in heaven. To them
Independence meant life or death,
freedom or slavery. Tie crowds that
waited all through that long, sultry
day for the bell to ring, waited with
anxious hearts, and it was for some
thing they watched. What do we
wait torl To see the rag-muffins and
the creased pig. We wait in breath.
less suspense to see the hoy fall from
the creased pole and break his neck.
What are we thankful for! That
the day is over and we can go to bed
and rest, also make up the lost sleep
of the night before, that we have had
good dinner, and that 4th of July
comes only once a yeu.
Let us as young citizens of River
Falls no let this year die, without
giving to these few remaining soldiers
some token of our regard. Let us
prepare at least one supper that will
taste as good to them now as did the
musty hard.rack and "festive bacon"
after day of weary marching.
Do you realize, boys and girls, young
men and maidens, that there will be
but few more Decoration Days when
those that are here to-day will not be
the ones to bedeck their brothers
gravesl What will we do! Will we
leave their graves all forgotten! No,
let us scatter the flowers, they are
beautiful emblems of love, and the
act would serve to keep alive their
memories. But, urge you, let us not
wait until they are dead before we
show them our gratitude. Let us
cheer their declining years by show
ing them that we do appreciate their
efforts. 1t would do us much good
and we need have no fear that we can
praise them overmuch, for "These
were brave men strong and true.

that every day has likewise its pleasure

The Multiplication Table.-In teaching
this table it is better to appeal 10 the eye
than to the ear. In nearly all practice
the eye is used. The figures are present
ed to the eye, and the result with its
formal expression is suggested. But,
generally, this table is taught orally.
The teacher says, "What are seven times
nine?" The pupil answers, "Sixty-three"
No figures are made. But" says some
one "we learned this table one way"
Yes, true, we learn many things in spite
of the teachers and their methods. Of
ten much time and strength are wasted,
however, in learning useless things

Do not be duped into buying the So
called "Webster's Unabridged Diction-
airy" which is being offered to the public
at very low price. The body of the
book is a cheap reprint, page for page, of
the edition of 1S47, which in its day was
a valuable book, but, in the progress of
language for over forty years, has been
completely superseded. The Journal OF
Education, Boston, says: Teachers can
not be too careful not to be imposed Oh,
since the very things which make a die
tionary valuable in school are wanting in
this old-time reprint. Amy high-school
dictionary which can be purchased for a
dollar and fifty cents is worth more for
school use than this"

A BUILDERS LESSON.
BY JOHN BOYLE o'REILLy.


"How shall habit break?"
AS you did that habit make.
AS you gathered, You must lose;
As you yielded, now refuse.
Thread by thread the strands we twist
I'LL they bind us neck and wrist;
Thread by thread the patient hand
Must untwine ere free we stand.
AS we builded. stone by stone,
We must toll unhelped, alone,
Till the wall is overthrown.
But remember, as we try,
Lighter every test goes by;
Wading In, the stream grows deep
Toward the centres downward sweep;
Backward turn. each step ashore
Shallower is than that before. rs
All, the precious years we waste = q,
Leyelling what we raised in haste;
Doing what must be undone
Ere content or love be won!
First across the gulf we cast
kite-borne threads, till lines are passed,
And habit builds the bridge at last
