An Outrage.

Crops of all kinds on the north side
never looked better than now and the
prospects more fiattering, provided water
will be furnished from the Henry ditch.
So far there has been none supplied and
rumors are atioat that the prospects for
getting any at all this Spring are small.
Last year the ditch was now and the
shortage was laid to faults in construc-
ton and unavoidable break-outs. This
year the same condition of affairs seems
to exist and there can be no excuse givea.
1t is shame and an outrage upon the
helpless people who have their all de
pending upon this canal. that this con-
dition of affairs has been allowed to come
up again this year. The company have
had an entire year and know what was
necessary to be done to remove the cause
of shortage last year, but seem to have
done nothing. A failure this year again,
means ruin to great many people, and
the responsible parties who have control
will be held to strict account. 1t is sim
ply outrageous.

Mondays Election.

The school election on Monday was
probably the most interesting one ever
held in Lamar, and a large vote was
polled, 2a3 Although Mr.. Lee was not
in anyway pledged as to what course he
would pursue in case of his election, the
opposition forced the issue against Mr.
Bird and elected Mr.. Sanders by three
votes, which means certainly another
principal for the next term As to the
merits or demerits of the present admin
istration of our school, We are not very
well posted. Our children have always
objected so strenuously to education OF
any kind, that We have allowed them to
SO without, and they will have to depend
entirely upon their natural talents in
herited from their parents. There was
no politics in the matter, it being simply
Bird or anti-Bird and the best of friends
in the past worked hard against each
other. We feel sure the board as now
constituted will use every effort TO pro-
cure principal qualified to give Us a good
school and sincerely hope they will sue
ceed. A good school is good adver-
tisement for any town and advertising
is what we need now.

MRS. PARTRIDGE In TROUBLE.

While Eli o. Cosgrove, of Monument

glade in the Spring Brook Woods ore
afternoon in May. a hen partridge fattered
cut of the copse a few yards below where
be was standing, half ran and half few up
the slight ascent directly tow ard him, and
ran between his feet. 1t was such a
strange thing for SO wild a bird 30 do, that
Cosgrove stood perfectly still and glanced
over his shoulder to see where it had gone.
Instead of flying further the partridge cir

outspread wings, keeping up a peculiar
sort Of clucAing all the while, and Cos

bird was blind. So be stopped over and
undertook to pick her UP, and then he
found that she wasn't blind at all. for,

had circIed around his feet a dozen times

The partridge flew ahead Of him and

sUPERsTIIIUNS OF BRIDES.

One of these is expressed in IN old
rhyme which is familiar to us all:
Change the maine and not the letter,
You change for the worse and not the better.
Another is that the day must be fine, in
accordance with the old time saw:
Happy is the bride that the sun shines on,
Blessed are the dead that the rain rains on.
There is still another superstition, poeti-
cally rendered, that a brides wardrobe
must contain
Something old and something new,
Something borrowed, something blue.
1t is considered very bad fortune fora
bride to make her own wedding cake or to
have anything to do with it; and, strange
as it may seem, it has been observed over
and over again in unhappy marriages that
the bride had stirred the wedding cake.
To lose the wedding ring in the first
month Of marriage augurs great misfor-
tune. To lose it at any time is supposed
to predict a calamity. There is an ex-
PLANTATION Of this superstition which is of
the same theory that time will cure all Ills:
As the wedding ring wears,
So wear away hfe's cares
