ATRIP.

We left Washington Springs early
last Saturday morning on an over
land trip to the northwestern part OF
Hvde county. After driving about
thjrty-ive miles we arrived in Wes-
sington before breakfast time. Here
we dincd at the Curtis House, OF
which
NJ, SToBBS
is now landlord. At this house we
feasted on all the good things the"land
affords.
we called on the genial grain buyer,
a. ". MITCHELL,
and found him busy as ever buying
Grain and weighing out coal and feed
both Of which he handles extensively.
lie was paving 72 cents for wheat. and
selling Hooking Valley coal tor S'!'9o'
Next we called at the Times oiaoe
and found Bro. Blake had not report
cd as vet: it being too early for him.
Mr.. ROBERTS,
tha Times fore zaan, was at the oli'ce
and entertained us during our shcFt
call.

After these exploits we started On
our way to st. Lawrence. twelve
miles to the north-w est. Arrivino
there, near unto noon we tarried tc
iced and rest our weary beast, and tc
fepleElsh an aching void we ourselves
had borne for some time. editors are
always hungry, you know.)
1T not being quite noon we called
on
Bro. S. J.. SAGE.
Whlle dinner was In preparation. We
found him busy, happy and jolly as us
nal,an spent more time than we
had planned, for when he began to
talk VIC could only sit and listen, and
take notes.
by the way, Bro. Sage is as good an
entertainer, us he is newspaper writer
which is saying considerable for him.
Tor we heard one man. ca newspaper
editor too) say that "l}ro, Sage is the
best editor in South Dakota" Maybe.
ont we can t concede our own ambi-
ton to such an acknowledged ent.
Having rcgaied our palate, we start
ed on our journey to Miller but did
not stop there, on account Of MANY
reasons
Our next stop was at Rec Heights
where we called on The
REE VALLEY FREE p EEss.
Capt. Vreeland, the editor. was not at
home. Wemet his son, who IS fore
man, OF the Office. lie informed us
that he and hls father would suspend
the Free Press and go to Morse, Iowa
TO found a paper.
Having Rested ourselves Me moved
on toward llighmore, where we ar.
rived ut about 500 o'clock, p. Nj. Here
remain ed over the Sabbath.
While here We had the pleasure OF
listening TO two sermons by
REy. a. NJ. WARD.
Methodist minister OF that place.
The morning sermon was one of thu
best we have heard for some time
He followed closely his theme and de
iiYered it in Il splendid manner. The
sermon showed time and study ha(
been used TO prepare it for delivery
and tai0nt was employed in its de
livery. The evening sermon was or
q more common subject and, owing
to the fact that Bro. Wards heath
was not the best, he did not deliver ii
so well, but yet it was grand. l.
would be impossible to excel the
morning sermon, in point Of thought
and effect, and 'tis not expected that /;
young man like Bro. Ward, would al
ways be able to deliver such sermons
for they would be Il credit to older anG
more exp per1enced men We think the
very fact that the people OF Highmore
are SO anxious to have Bro. Ward re
turned to them is sufficient to warrant
us IN saving that he Is doing a grand
work on his charge. We heard one OF
his flock say 1t there is a holy man
on earth it is4l. Nj. Ward" This is

 Catholic Church.

TAs Sacred Relics of the Notre Dane
 Catholic Church-
 Many of those who visited Father Mollinger, the celebrated priest-phy. sician of Pittsburg, also availed them selves while travelling to view the cele- brated relic altar in the church of Our Lady of the Sacred Heart in Notre Dame. Ind, says correspondent. The church and it's magnificent inter- for decorations are the crowning glory of the University of Notre Dame which Holy Cross, religious order organ ized in France. The superior general is the Very Rev. k. Sorin, c. s. C., who founded the great educational in- stitution of this city. It was under his direction that the church was con- structed and so richly decorated. Work was commenced on the church in 1868. and it was not until thirteen years had elapsed that it was completed.
 The interior is richly finished in marble appropriately carved and paintings of the rarcst and costliest chara ctcr decorate the walls.
 The great features of the church are the altar and tabernacle in the center It represents the human heart in the human body and is one of the grandest works of church art ever imported from France. The custom duties alone amounted to over $2, 900. During the Philadelphia centennial it was on ex- hibition there and attracted consider able attention. It is made of gold and gilded bronze, beautifully chased and richly enamelled. It is fashioned like shrine tho sides of which are con- posed of two arcades of gilded bronzes. The enamelled figures of angels in relief adorn the arcades. Six pilasters support the table of sacrifice and form six niches for statues representing the virtues. In this table is piece of the wooden altar preserved in the church of St. Praxedes in Rome, which St. Petor used as a portable altar. The altar is supported by group of gilded bronze columns. Beneath it, visible between the interlacing arches of the antependium. are the bodies of two martyrs taken from catacomb of tho second century. They were gifts from Plus K
 Gold, silver and pearls were freely used in making it one of the hand somest altars ever erected. In addition to the relics of the martyrs there are other precious mementoes preserved about the altar and in the sacristy. Among these are pieces of the true cross, the manager and garments of the Lord, also of the veil of the Virgin Mary. Kansas City Journal.

Tho young lady of tho house bantered him to tell story and requested that he tell something new. She had friend to dinner and wanted her entertained.

They were wrong.
 .Tll tell you how it was" he said. The boy and the dog went down to the lake and were playing together. The dog got too near the water and fell in; seep Simpsons boy couldn't swim lick; see9 And so what does he do3"
 'Whop" the girls asked. 'the dog or Simpsons boy"
 Why. the boy" replied the story teller What does he do?"
 You mean what did the dog do?"
 No, the boy---Simpson's boy"
 The girls looked at each other and then at the story teller as if they were not quite sure he was right in his head.
 You say he couldn't swimp" asked one of the girls.
 That's what
 That is, the dog?" asked the other
 Right The dog couldn't swim; see?'
 Il thought you said that Simpsons boy couldn't swim?n said the girl with memory for details.
 Well 1 did. Neither could the dog.
 Well this is the funniest story that 1 ever heard,n said the home girl.
 "Reminds me of story gentle man friend told me when he was at our house in New York, :" said the vis- iting girl.
 Tell Us all about it. You say the dog fell into the water; that Simpsons boy couldn't swim and that the dog couldn't swim

 You mean Simpsons boy?'
 Hes, Mr. Simpsons little boy said the New York girl.
 Say" said the man, 'how did you get it into your head that Simpsons boy was little?"
 Why, you said he went down to the lake to play with the dog, and I do not suppose that any big boy would do that"
 Well. he was no kid. He was full grown boy. He was the first boy in our class to play hockey this sea- son."
