A Sunrise.

The two highest grades in the public
school, the eight and ninth engineered
very pleasant surprise for Prof. 4. j.
Loar on Friday last. The pertinence of
the entertainment was to observe Kansas
day, and show their appreciation of the
labors Of Prof. Loar. The young peO-
pie had committees all arranged, and
proceeded with their plans on the sly.
Prof. Loar being on his way to the lee
ture at the Methodist church saw light
IN the school building, and wondering
what it all ment proceeded to invesii-
gate; what was his surprise 70 find the
hall filed with the merry pupils, the
table spread with an inviting display Of
good things, floor carperted, and up
hOlstered furniture tastily arranged, and
the lower ball transformed into an ele-
CANT dining room. The school board
we're present and the surprise was per-
feet. Well when the young bloo1s at
tempt to carry ont anything IL has TO go.
1t was very pleasant affair, aud will
remain one Of the green spots In the
memory Of Prof. Loar in the years
following.
