mention of Redwood talent at Carleton
college last week. The Mortified
News article quoted from contained a
highly complimentary mention of a
recitation by Miss Lizzie Bissell, as
part of the entertainment referred to.
The Paragraph has been mislaid, or we
would reproduce it hero.
He told his son to milk the COWS, feed
the horses, slop the pigs, hunt the eggs,
feed the calves, catch the colt put it in
the stable, cut some wood split up the
kindlings, stir the cream, put fresh
water in the creamery after supper and
to be sure to study his lesson before he
went to bed. Then he went to the
Farmers club to discuss the question,

prospect of securing the Communication

praise for the pertinacity with which
he has worked and hoped for his I'M
natural brother. Although possessed

Tracy Trumpet: We have heard
with much regret of a recent misfort-

Geo. F. Bidwell, who was at one time
Asst Supt. of the railroad division al

of a permanent recovery, provided he
was given a vacation. Accordingly
friends accompanied the family t.

there is change for better or worse
Let us hope that it will be the former
