Our. Schools.

Ye editor made flying trip to our
public schools Tuesday. In the prim.
ary department, which is presided over
by MISS Gimblett, we found the children
attending to their studies, and all were
in happy state of mind: There are
forty four scholars enrolled in this de.
partment. In the intermediate depart
ment, presided over by Mrs. Carleton,

OBITUARY.

Harry S. Lyons died yesterday morn.
ing at the age of 80 from Septic Peri.
tonitis after an illness of ten days. He
leaves wife and little baby boy to
mourn the loss of husband and father.
len days ago the deceased was in the
bloom Of healthy manhood, one of the
finest figures Of Gods handiwOrk, today
he is cut down like q summer flower
nipped by an autumn frost. 1t is in.
deed sad case. The wife left alone
almost without warning or last part.
ing word, and the little babe deprived
Of fathers love and guiding hand.
Last Sunday it was thought Mr.. Lyons
was getting better, but the following
day he had a relapse from which he
not recover. He was conscious to the
last but did not seem to realize that
death was so near at hand and died in
a few minutes without word. His
remains will be taken to Montana to.
morrow for lnterment, and it will be a
sad home journey for the afflicted wife,
who takes with her the :sympathy OF
this entire community

Misses Florence and Lillian Haskell
nearly suffocatsd frem coal gas Tues
day morning about 3 o'clock Il. m., and
had not Frank Haskell woke up and
gone downstairs they would not now ba
alive to tell the story. About 2 a. m.
Tuesday morning Frank was awakened
from a sound sleep by noise in the
girls bedroom downstairs, and thought
he would 60 downstairs and investigate.
He found his sister Florence in dead
stupor from the effects of the gas, she
had tried to get up and light Il lamp,
but was 50 far gone that she fell in =
stupor by the bedroom door Lillian
was not quite SO badly affected as her
sister and managed to staggcr outdoors
and fell in the grass. Both gir:s were
placed in position to get fresh air,
while Enos Downs quickly summoned
Dr. Wanner who hastened to the relief
Of the sufferers. 1t was indeed Il close
call, and we can only attribute Franks
waking up and going downstairs to-
some mysterious warning from provi-
dence. People using coal stoves should
be careful how they leave their stoves
when they go to bed.

or mills, is amply justified in taking
measures to protect herself. When
we consider the age of England's
free trade, as policy, it is very
recent affair. Her commercial pros
perity is built upon. strong protec-
tive tariff. Free trade may be good
for one land but that would not prove
it to be for all lands.
1t was Washington who said:
"Our commercial policy should hold
an equal and impartial hand; neither
seeking nor granting exclusive favors
or preferences. There can be ne
greater error than to expect, or
calculate upon, real favors from ma
ton to nation. 1t is an illusion
which experience must cure, which
just pride ought to discard" Now
is good time to ponder these wise
words.

The October New Peterson is
fine specimen OF one of our best
magazines. Its pages range from
grave to gay, from instructive to en-
tertaining, and the excellence of its
contents is as noticeable as the var
iety. The illustrations are numerous
and of admirable quality, and 18th c
stories, sketches, and poems are from
the pens of leading authors. The
opening paper, "rhe Land of the
Dawning," by M. Mccarthy O'Leary,
is the most interesting account of
Queensland that has ever come un
der our notice, and is illustrated by
effective photographers. Another
delightful illustrated article is
"Dauglters of the Revolution" by
Gilberta S. Whittle. ga Celebrated
Case," by Elizabeth Cavazza, is one
OF those charming Calabrian sketches
which have made their author fam
Gus. "a Congo Market Day." by
George Washington Coleman, offers
fairly unique phase of Virginia
negro lite. "Alma Lowell" by Lille
B. Chace Wyman, is as powerful as
it is realistic. ga Half Hours Ride
from the Quaker City," by Anna
Whittier Wendell, gives a graphic
description Of Philadelphia's enviren'
with accompany photographs. Thest
are only few of the numbers at

increasing demand for still cheaper

School Children as Bank

The simple working of the School
Savings Bank system is something as
follows: The small depositor has Il
small folded card which is to be neatly
kept in an envelope. The front page
bears the name of the school teacher
and tho pupil. The last page bears the
brief regulations On the>iMside of the
card is printed the date of every Mon.
day in the school year, with u cores
ponding blank for recording the de.
posit.
Monday morning ls usually the one
selected for collection. At roll call the
teacher marks the deposit of each child
on the School Savings Bank card OPP
posite the proper date and returns the
card to tho child's keeping. If the
child has no deposit he simply says
'present" After the first morning the
working of this system does not con-
sumo more than fifteen minutes per
week, On completing the roll call the
teacher places all the money received
in an envelope. seals and conveys it to
the principal who acts as temporary
| treasurer.
The first deposit is made in the name
of the teacher or principal, who receives
in return q bank book in which is re-
corded tho amount deposited by all the
teachers. A deposit slip, correspond
ing with the deposit list of the teacher
must accompany each weekly deposit,
which gives the banker the necessary
exact knowledge of deposits. When q
child's deposit reaches 81 he is given y
bank book and becomes patron OF
tho Savings Bank, through the school.
Deposits from cent upward will be
received by the teacher, and when de-
posits reach So or more (as the cooper.
xting bank ma y decide) small rate OF
interest, 3 or M ore per cent may be
drawn upon them At the close OF
every month pupils are allowed to take
their bank books home with them fol
Il day or two. (This is not the weekly
collection card, which is left with the
pupil always for memorandum and re-
ceipt of his deposi:.) The examination

frequently aroused interest and resulted
in telling effects IN families. It is stated
that in instances already noted, colder
