Stories That Bishop Hare Tells.

Bishop Hare, OF South Dakota, is fond
of telling stories about himself to Illus
trate the point which he playfullv makes
that man who lives long on the plains
comes to be good deal Of barbarian.
Once, 50 one Of the stories runs, he had
the misfortune while entering a dining
room Ia this city to step upon the skirt Of
lady's dress. Apologizing he said,
you know that have been living with
the Indians lately and have grown some
what awkward
The lady, Miss Potter, quickly replied,
Il don't think that, bishop: but am sur
prised at one thing, that after living so
long with the Indians you shouldn't be
better at following up a trail"
A few evenings later another little af-
fair occurred, the story of which the
bishop tells as follows:
Il was talking with charming wom-
an when up came a gentleman who
claimed her attention for moment in
another part Of the house. AS she Went
away she gave me her ice and asked me
to keep it for her. She had hardly gone
before brother clergyman engaged me
in a talk on the Indian question.
Now, if there is any subject in which
l am more interested than am in the
Indian question can't think Of it just
now. At any rate, became absorbed
in my talk with my friend Suddenly l
was aroused by an inquiry addressed tc
me In woman S voice.

question.

The Moos, and Mice.

A curious Indian legend was told to
some people way out in Omaha by "a full
blooded Sioux, who lives at Pine Ridge
Agency, says Goldthwaites Geographical
Magazine.
He said that the belief was that every
time new moon appeared it was sig
nal for the mice in the country to gather
themselves together in one spot. When
they assemble they then separate into
four great armies. One army went to
the north, another to the south, third
to the east and fourth to the west.
These armies of mince travelled until
they reached the point where from start
ing the heavens seemed to touch the
earth. Then they climed up the sky I'M
til they came to the moon, which was
by this time what we call full. All
OF the four armies then commenced
nibbling at Luna, aud when they had ca
ten her all up the mice would scamper
back down the heavens to the earth and
wait for her to show herself again. when
the journey and the nibbling would be
repeated by the mice; and this is what
the Indians OF early days believed was
the cause OF the moon growing old and
finally disappearing.

The history OF a certain American
family furnishes several examples of a
benefcent result of disabling accidents
The young son Of a farmer in small
town in Massachusetts, had his hand
crushed in his fathers cider mill, and
being thus untitled to gain his livelihood
by farming was sent in due time to the
academy to commence a preparation for
professional life. He died a member
of the United States senate.
A boy who belonged to another branch
of the same family, in the vicinity of
Boston, cut his knee badly and was long
confined to the house. His kind pastor
supplied him with books, and perceiving
that he had a natural aptitude for study
taught him Latin and finally induced
his parents to send him to college.
The young man was graduated at Har-
ward and became a minister of the Cos
pei. One of his sons was a general in the
army of 1912: another served his coun-
try in congress.
The son who entered college had six
sons who We're college educated men, all

OUR BAND.

That our band is worthy of liberia
support from the citizens is fully
demonstrated by the following clipping
from the Stevens Point Gazette:
The Twin City band, which furnished
music in this city on Memorial Day, are
an organization that the people of
Grand Rapids and Centralia may we'll
be proud of. The boys are all good
musicians, far above the average, and
the class of music that they play is of
the latest, nothing old and threadbare,
as IS heard to often. At the same time
they are a lot of young gentlemen full
of fun and life, of course. but courteous
and agreeable.

THE DAY We CELEBRATE.
PtrbaruhOhs are on foot to make
tile Fourth Of July tile most IN
rrgStng and pleasant Holiday
e0ey held in tile T7vln Cities.

We are going to have big time here
the Fourth and we want everyone to
know it. The interest that is shown by
the citizens and the extensive pre-
partitions that are being made is
promising evidence that it will surpass
any celebration yet had. On account
of the recent accident which befell Mr..
Geo. L. Williams, president of the
fair association, he will probably
be unable to render his valuable
assistance and it therefore behooves
one and all to do their utmost towards
making the day a success.
The program as planned will consist
Of horse races, bicycle races, a ball
game, music by the Twin City Band,
fireworks, and a grand ball in the
evening under the auspices of the Grand
Rapids Fire Department. These
attractions interspersed with a few
specialties should furnish amusement
for the most sanguine sport as we'll as
the sedate citizen, so let all prepare to
make it day of solid enjoyment.

appointed to audit the accounts between
the towns, cities and county and settle

BRIGGS--HILES LITIGATION.

Judge Austin, of Milwaukee, on
Saturday of last week denied the motion
to confirm the report of the referee in
the case of Lawyer Carl Briggs against
George Hiles, and the case will be taken
to the supreme court. Hugh Ryan,
who served as referee, found in favor
of Briggs, awarding him $4,000 of the
$4,000 he sued for alleged legal services
Briggs admitted that he had contract
with Hiles to do his legal work for a
fixed sum per month, but claimed it
was in relation to the railroads only of
which Hiles was president.

The "Side Tracked" company played
at the Opera House last evening to a
good sized audience and gave entire
satisfaction. This is one of the latest
railway plays out and the several mem
bers of the company do it justice in the
performance Of their several parts.
The specialties were noteworthy and
the club swinging and music on several
different instruments by Walters and
Rawson were received with loud
applause. They are better than the
average show and are gentlemanly
set of fellows.

The Board Of Education of the city of
Grand Rapids have resolved to have
singing Systematically taught as one OF
the studies Of it's school course. 1t is
confidently asserted by some of the
friends of this movement that the time
heretofore spent in singing by ear, as a
matter of recreation for the pupils if
judiciously employed in systematic
instructions in singing will afford the
same recreation, and will enable most
of the pupils to learn to read simple
music at sight.
The system adopted is known as the
Fonic Sal-Fa. It is very little known in
this country, but in England where it
has come into general use during the
last twenty-five years it appears to have
worked a revolution in the art of
teaching singing to children.

Mr.. Chas. King, of this city, who had
just returned from British America.
He also inquired about w. G. Scott, son
of our respected townsman W. L. Scott
and learned that he had moved to
Oakland. Brother Albert is anxious to
get home as is evident from the follow
ing words in which he closes his last
letter to me from Tacoma:
eve expect to leave this city Friday
afternoon for Spokane, where it will be
decided whether we will 60 on to Salt
Lake City or continue right on to st.
Paul. We expect to 60 straight home
for we are truly firing of a good thing.
