When You Visit the Sick.

Always when visiting sick person
erdcaver to sit where the invalid may
see you without making an effort to do
SO. Under any circumstances it is al
ways more satisfactory to see the person
to whom one is talking; and nothing is
more fatiguing to an invalid than to be
obliged to twist into an uncom Portable
position in order to see the visitor The
good effect of the most CHEEKY talk will
be nullified by the fatigue of the effort
And don't speak of depressing subjects;
above all, refrain from talking OF similar
cases that you have known or heard of,
unless by doing SO you can make the
sufferer more hopeful Tell all the
bright, CHEEKY things you can, retail
pleasant bits of news; but don't stay too
long, even though urged to remain

large crowd witnessed the base ball
game, Tuesday afternoon, between the
Stratton club and the home team. The
first five or six innings the home team
played good ball, and the score
stood s to 7 in favor of McCook. But
the Stratton boys played good ball the
entire nine innings and came off victori-
Gus in score of "a to II.
The visitors pounded pitcher Clyde so
numerically, toward the last, that Jerry
Mullen was substituted But the visitors
had their batting suites on and found
Jerry quite readily
The decisions of Umpire Lambert were
in number of instances decidedly rank.
This fact, together with the unfortunate
and mysterious fall down" of the pitch
er, caused McCook's overwhelming de-
feat
The Stratton boys are clever, gentle
manly lot Of fellows, and they play ball.
Here's luck to them
BY THE WAY
There were number of hundred dol
lars up between the local sports.
1t is stated on the streets that the UNI
pire had some money up on the game.
Stratton people are proud Of their
club, and they were down in numbers to
applaud them.
It pays to be a gentleman always.
This disgusting roasting feature of
the games played here is not gentle
manly.
This is the second time McCook has
fallen before Stratton's base ballists.
The game at Stratton, last Saturday,
was in their favor.
The contest, last Friday afternoon, be-
tween the Driftwood boys and the local
team resulted in favor of McCook The
country lads play pretty good ball. too.

would advise school directors to hire
home teachers for their schools this
year. By home teachers I mean teach
ers of this county or adjacent counties.
There is no necessity for importing
teachers from the east to teach term Of
school, take the money and return with
it, when our home teachers need it to
keep the wolf from the door.
There is no school in the county SO
hard to manage but that teachers can
be found here capable of teaching it.
This is hard year and the young
people of the county will have nothing
to do but go to school; try and provide
suitable schools where they. can spend
their time with profit. Yours,

Dedication Services at the Con
gregationaI Church.

Last Sunday was a glad day at ths
Congregational church, day which ha:
been looked forward to with much ex
pectancy, and will ever be remembered
with pleasure mingled with gratitude
The members and friends crowded the
house, not only to hear DIR. Duryea'.
magnificently simple and powerful ser.
mon, but as well, drawn by the charm
that we all feel when any one, or any
thing is to be dedicated-given wholly
to sacred uses
AS DR.. Duryea proceeded to paint
the picture of the Christ, and made
that picture to glow with life and
love, and led on to where men should
see in thai life their proper image,
and what it would mean to men and
the world if they were really actu-
ated by such principles; there were many
who felt that the dedication of self was
above the dedication of buildings in
importance
The inspiration and the impulse to-
ward that which is high and godlike
will not wholly vanish from out many
lives so long as they last
After the sermon came the formal
presentation to the church officers: On
the part of Mrs. Noren's class Lizzie
Richie presented the carpeting for the
rostrum. On behalf of Mrs. Lawson s
class Maud McMillen presented the
beautiful silver communion service.
The Dorcas society-so far as money
can represent their work-presented the
organ, the heating plant, the stained
glass windows, etc. Their offering to
the church amounting to $7o5.6o.
On the part of the building committee
Mr.. 7. B. Campbell, in most appropriate
words made presentation of the church
ediice, the outside cost of which was
IS, 237. So,
On behalf Of the church officers Mr..
w. Q. Norval responded to these pres
entations in happy speech accepting
these gifts, to be held sacred for the
elevation of men and the glory of God.
Following this the congregation, with
out formal speech, made its thank offer
ing with generous heart to the same
great cause; the gifts amounting to $500.
At the close of the offering State Supt.
Rev. H. Bross made the prayer of dedica-
ton, setting apart these gifts to the ser
vice for which the givers intended them,
while from the bowed heads of the con-
gregation went up prayers to the All
Father dedicating heart temples as we'll.
The music by the choir lent to the
cheerful praise of these services on which
Gods good benedictlon rested.

One day this week, Mrs. c. F. Babcock
discovered snake under the bookcase
in their quarters in the Babcock brick.
While she was out looking for help to
dispatch the reptile, Miss Winona Peter
son who is staying with the Babcocks
while attending institute, calmly caught
his snakeship in her hand, and was
holding the snake by the neck when as
sistance arrived. The snake was about
two and half feet long. How it came
to be in the room is an unsolved mysteryI

Today finished the second week Of the
institute, which has been so far of unus-
ual interest and profit, besides being so
largely attended. And the conclcding
two weeks promise to be equally as at
tractive in all respects.
State Superintendent Goudy graced
the institute with his presence, Thurs
day, addressing the teachers on the af-
ternoon OF that day. He left for Web

Vice President Clark of the Western
Normal school at Lincoln delivered a
lecture before the institute on Tuesday
afternoon. The gentleman is graduate
of Harvard and gave the teachers some
valuable thoughts during the course of
his remarks. One of the Professor S
statements, however, has puzzled the
fair and more numerous portion of his
hearers: "The purpose of education is
to make men out of your boys and girls"
THE TRIBUNE hears it stated that
the superintendent of Furnas county
has signiied his intention of refusing to
recognize second grade certificates from
the superintendent of this county. This
is, to say the least, unusual and discour-
teous. Can it be possible that this sud-
den decision is traceable to the fact that
quite large delegation of Furnas county
teachers are attending the Red Willow
county institute? It's unjust to say the
least
