The Board of Education met
Saturday evening and opened the
bids for the new school houses, and
as twas expected, the bids were all
too high, considering the amount of
money available. Revised plans had
been ordered from the architect, and
are expected daily, when new bids
will be received. The old plans
called for more expensive work than
was necessary for ward school
houses, and the board expects to be
able to erect two four-room buildings
for $4,000. That amount will
provide for very good buildings, and
contracts will be let within the next
week. The old bids were not acted
on. The treasurer was authorized
to purchase lots 8, 10, II and II,
block 81, Thayer's addition, from the
Water Power company, for $1,000
and lots and S in block 40 from n.
MORN for $500 upon approval OF title
by attorney. Board adjourned
subject to call of president.

Long Prairie Argus: Will j. Gutch-
es and E. J. Achenbach witnessed the
narrow escape of boy at Fort Rip
ley last week. The lad, a boy of
twelve, and little girl were playing
in a boat in the Mississippi when the
boy fell out into the water. She gave
the alarm, and when the men reach
ed the river bank they saw him float
ing down just under the surface The
river was high and logs were running,
and as the banks were steep and high
they could do nothing there. The
lads father got a long fish rod and
ran down the stream where some
logs had lodged, projecting out into
the stream, and when the boy float
ed near enough he put the pole into
his hands. The singular part OF it is
that the boy did not struggle in the
least until he approached the logs,
when he rose out of the water to his
waist but fell over backward and
fOated on again. He was walking
about within ten minutes after he
was rescued. His first words We're.
''father don't whip me-" His father
had threatened to whip him if he did
not stay away from the river, and
this was the first thing in his mind.

As leap year Is upon us the moment
Gus question, Shall women propose? con-
fronts US in various newspaper columns,
with its usual four yearly regularity.
Conservative people will of course
pooh pooh the idea, and the more frivo-
lous laugh at the same. Some of our
radical, would be social innovators will
be advocates, and others will illuminate
their varied denunciations.
Considered in the abstract we do not
see why a woman should not express her
natural preferences as freely as man
in regard to the opposite sex. Indeed,
she seems to be free to do 80 in every
other respect but that Of love and mar
riage. And yet is not this the most inn
portant of all earthly relations to the
human race as society is ut present or
ganized?
Mere reasoning aside, however, other
considerations enter into our estimates
of propriety. Here we have sentiment,
which so largely makes up the sum Of
womanly opinions on most subjects out
side of bread and breathing.
AS the majority of people think now,
and as they will probably continue to
think for many years to come, there are
certain moral and social questions
wherein old time precedent will doubt
less continue to rule! The realm Of
courtship and marriage still lies fully
within these prescribed limits.
In this affair ii has from time inme.
mortal been her inalienable and alto
gether charming privilege to be the one
who should be sought, wooed and won.
Whether this be abstractly right or
wrong it is so ingrained in the very
nature Of society at large that the iso-
lated kicks which are here and there
made have so far produced little or no
effect.-Yanxee Blade.

It was 1920 o'clock at night, and the
rain and wind and darkness made it a
wild one, when the train suddenly came
to halt Some one had swung a Ian
tern on the track about quarter of a
mile from the bridge spanning Shady
