You do with young ladies who are in
the habit of smiling too louc." This
brought out considerable discussion
but train time having arrived the meet
Ing had to adjourn without having de-
cided the question satisfactorily to all.
II was thought, though, that young Ia
dies and young gentlemen, could be
governed by putting them upon their
honor, and by the teacher being firm.
Ii they could not be so governed the
school was no place for them and they
should be suspended.

Councilman Chas. Van GordOr was
at Missouri Valley last Friday postiny
himself on the electric light question.
The plant there is owned by q private
corporation, which receives $500 per
appum from the city for lighting the
streets Their rates per month for
lights are, for residences, one light 81,
two lights sl.75, three lights 1925, ad-
ditional lights 80 cents each; for bust
ness houses, less than three lights 81
each, three lights 1915, additional go
cents each. IL Is matter OF wonder
ment that in Missouri Valley only
about 500 lights are used. The plant
has been in operation three years. Dur
ing the last year " has paid well, but
prior to that 1t lost money. This was
because the plant was established upon
an inadequate scale and had to be re-
placed at great expense. This has been
the cause of failure wherever 1t has oc-
Cured, and their experience only en-
phasizes the Importance of starting
right. They employ 100 horse engine
and boiler, and after viewing the dyna-
mo, Mr.. Van Gorder says it looks as
though this immense power were simp
ly employed to turn grindstone. The
invisible force is matter of wonder
ment to all but experts.

be quashed. The law is not suffering

THE AMERICAN BOARD.

The American Board of foreign
missions held its SD annual meeting
at Pittsheld, Mass, last week. The
financial reports showed a large in
crease of contributions during the
year, indicating that the differences
and bitter contentious of other years
are being forgotten and that there is
a readiness to work in union and
harmony upon the basis agreed upon
at Minneapolis. The donations for
the year reached $4S4, 463, a gain of
more than 100000 over the annual
average of the last five years. Added
to this were legacies making avail
able funds for the year of nearly
100000. The missionary field is
constantly growing, however, and
the prudential committee estima tie
that 100000 will be required for
the coming years work. The old
board of officers was unanimously
reelected, Rev. DIR. Storrs having
been persuaded to retain the presi-
dency for another year in which
position he has done a noble work in
the unification of the body and in
harmonizing its differences.

LITERARY WAYSIDE.

''All the world loves lover" and
though this may depend somewhat
upon who the lover is, it is certain
that all the world is interested in the
love affairs of man like the author
of Home, Sweet Home" Miss
Laura Speer, connection of the
family to which Miss Harden, the
lady who won John Howard Payne's
love, belonged, has written an inter
esting article called John Howard
Payne's Southern Sweetheart" for
the November New England Maya
zine. tits embellished with portraits
and sketches, many of which now see
the light for the first time In the
November issue of this Magazine
also Walter Black burn Harte makes
plea for a world without books.
He thinks that education is not an
unmixed blessing, as the greater the
intelligence of individuals and people
the greater is their capacity for suf-
fering.
In the Forum for November Ed
ward A. Freeman, the English his
torian, the highest living authority
perhaps on the subject, explains the
political situation in Europe, point
ing out the specific dangers to peace.
Another remarkable article will ap-
pear in the same number on the
armies and politics of Europe, from
an American point of view, by
William R. Thayer, who records the
results of studies recently made in
Europe of the political and military
situation. These two articles to-
gether make a complete review of the
present European situation, and give
a clear understanding of the status
of each of the great powers.
Anew feature OF the Cosmopolitan,
and one which is original with that
magazine, is the publication each
month, in the forms of foot notes, of
a number of little portraits with
brief biographies, of the writers Of
the various articles. However wide
~ read one may be, there is apt to be
something of information lacking re-
garding the vast number of writers
who appear in the periodicals of the
present day, SO that these brief biOg
raphies and small portraits are prov
ing very satisfactory to the average
reader.
Why there are SO many tall girls
nowadays. and why the tendency of
the new generation is towards un-
usual height and gracious slimness,
are questions which engage the at
tention of Charles Dudley Warner in
the Editors drawer of Harper's
Magazine for November.
Harper's Magazine for November
will open with an entertaining
story, The Inn of the Good Wom-
an" by Hezekiah Butterworth. 1t
is Thanksgiving story, delightfully."-
original in that the usual accessories
and accompaniment of Thanksgiv-
ing are but lightly touched upon,
and an amusing comedy of errors is
introduced instead. 1t will be fully
and appropriately illustrated from
drawings by w. T. Smedley.
The Lack of Good Servants" is a

wood discourses helpfully in the Nov
