EDUCATIONAL.
BY NC. d. w.

Mr.. Nokes spent Friday after
noon visiting the different depart
ments.
County Superintendent, Mrs. O..
r. Barker, visited our schools
Thursday and Friday. She ex-
pressed herself as well pleased
with the work she saw.
High school pupils have just
finished reading Anna .Sewel's
"Black Beauty". It was closely
studied as literary production.
The universal verdict was one of
commentator and praise. Con-
sidering it's wonderful circulation
and it's motive it is rightly named
''The Uncle TOMS Cabin" of the
horse.
At the beginning of school after
the holidays as an incentive to
regular attendance a prize was Of
fered to each pupil of the high
school who should be neither tardy
nor absent from school until the
spring vacation. At four o'clock
Friday afternoon the records
showed there were seven faithful
ones who had met the require
ments. They are as follows:
Lizzie and May Sadley, Mettie
Wheeler, Emily Henry, Daisy
Loring, Lola Jesmer, and Atrial
Soule. The last is deserving of
especial mention as having been
neither absent nor tardy during
the school year. Teachers and
pupils all know how much better
the interest is when all are prompt
and regular in attendance aside
from all this the effect in forming
habits of promptness for life can
hardly be over estimated. The
boy or girl who is habitually five
or ten minutes tardy will always
be behind hand in meeting obliga-
tons, no one will know when to
depend on them, his or her note is
of little value. Such individuals
will find themselves constantly
fettered by their past record and
present habits. While those who
are prompt in whatever they do
will gain the confidence of business
men and will find demand for
their services. BY being prompt
we do not mean one should waste
an hour waiting by coming too
soon. We honestly believe par
ents can exercise much control
over the future welfare of their
by teaching them prompt
attendance on any duty even that
OF going to school and coming
home. It follows without saving,
children should be taught to be
as prompt in coming as in going.
We believe there has been much
progress in this direction. we
know there is a chance for much
more

ROBBINS, March 26, 1891.
Fred Libby is putting up good
house on his fine claim, over which
he feels so jubilant.
A. K. Trask has located on
Sec. 4, Z. 40, R. 81. He is now
putting up a snug cottage for a
summer residence.
The boys are all glad at the re-
cent decision on the railroad
claims. Only few being within
the twenty mile limit.
Chas. Rodgers and his son came
up on Friday last. They are rush
ing their house up, hoping to get
moved before the sleighing is
gone.
Mr.. Barrett moved into his cozy
little house one day last week.
He has one Of the richest claims
on the so-called Indian reservation,
and rejoices to think he is just out
side of the twenty mile limit.
Many of the settlers have been
here for years, and have expended
all the way from 100 to 1000 dol
lars, and if they lose their claims
they will be irretrievably ruined,
still they have all confidence in
eventually coming out all right.
Business is brisk up here, worl,
plenty. In fact every man has
more to do than time in which to
do it. Claim shanties are going
up in every direction. The want
OF lumber, windows and other con-
veniences for building purposes,
makes the work slow and labor:
lous. Garrison being the nearest
point, and only a limited supply
there. A mill located here would
be a success in every way.

OUR hlSEN LORD.-II TOT the
first time you should come to the
banks of the Mississippi down neal
the gulf, and should be interested
to know where its source was, you
might follow it until you came il
northern Minnesota to the group
of lakes whence it rises to 90 or
its long way to the gulf.
We are confronted at this Easter
season by the great, broad and
deep current of christian thought
and influence. Whence this
spiritual river? If we trace it
back we may follow it through the
ages to the empty tomb, to the
time when for the first time the
words were spoken, HE is risen. -
We would like to take every
reader of these lines back over the
course of this river, and note with
them the healing, refreshing, life
giving influence it has been in all
the centurys, and 60 on back to
that glad Easter day when the sor-
rowing disciples learned of the
great fact, that the tomb was
empty, and the Lord was risen in
deed. Such a review might clarity
the vision of some who have been
content to look at a few imperfect
christians, and condemn the chris
tian religion because of their i'm
PROJECTIONS. Never has the church
of Christ had such reason for re-
ioicing on Easter Day as now.
See the great uprising among the
young people of the world, to give
the strength and enthusiasm of
their youth to the cause of Christ.
In a few days (July 9-12) there
will be the National gathering
of the Christian Endeavor Society
in Minneapolis, when from 10000
to $4,000 young people will come
from all over the country to take
council together for the Masters
kingdom. Such a gathering
means tens of thousands of warm
hearts and willing hands to do
christian work. May we not look
for great things to be accomplished
by the church of Christ this COM
ING year!
CONVERTED His FATHER Will
lie, the boy of a drunkard, who
had been induced to attend rag
ged school, sat singing to himself
one evening in his miserable home,-
Il am so glad that Jesus loves me-
Stop that,' roared his father,
and Willie was silent, but with the
forgetfulness of children, he began
again, Il am SO glad"
This time he was ordered to bed,
and though he went quietly
enough, the words kept ringing in
his head, and he felt he could not
be unhappy now that it was true.
In the middle of the night he
was awakened by hearing his name
called: SWlllle, Willie, sing that
again" There sat his father be-
side his bed. So Willie sat up
and sang the hymn. lis it all
true, Willie?" ''All true, father;
Jesus died for you and me, father,
SO Tie must love u.s." ooh, Will
lie, could you pray for me?'' II
don't know what to say, father"
Say Pm the biggest sinner on
earth, but | want Jesus to love me
and make me good" So Willie
prayed, and his prayer was soon
answered. His father became a
temperate and pious man.-Se-

HE IS RISEN.

Tomb, thou shalt not hold Him longer;
Death is strong, but life is stronger;
Stronger than the dark, the light:
Stronger than the wrong, the right;
Faith and Hope triumphant say,
Christ will rise on Easter Day!'
While the patient earth lies waking
Till the morning shall be breaking,
Shuddering meath the burden dread
OF her Master, cold and dead,
Hank! she hears the angels say,
"Christ will rise on Easter Dny!'
And when sunrise smites the mountains,
Pouring light from heavenly fountains,
Then tue earth blooms ont to greet
Once again the blessed feet;
And her countless voices say,
"Christ has risen on Easter Day"
