The wife for whom King Lon.Gel sighed,
When his true heart bosousht her,
We give you with Pc 4ntal ptiIo

Since Arst God blessed Us with her smile,
His sheen has been about her;
In light and shade through all this

BY day and night she's been the light
Around her natal hearth;
To father-mother-sist brother
More Of Heaven than earth.
Her radiant smile. her gentle grace.
Her quecnly Saxon beauty.
Has made home bright with lesser light
Than daughters daily duty.
Your home now claims the priceless prize
Her wfcly heart Will tender,
And day by day you'll realize
It's more than ruby-splendor.
She'll do YOU good and bring no III;
Your heart Will rest upon her.

With holy alteration.
Win win and wear. II true his word,
Her husbands yeneration.
May He whose gracious presence blessed
In olden days in Cana
The wedding feast, be here guest,
And as these VOWS enchaln her.
May His sweet smile and loving face
This bridal scene enlighten.
with promise sure Of His dear grace
Your welded lives to brighten.

ROckdale Hal.

1t it's issue of August 18th, Clarks
Horse Review, one of the leading
equine journals of the country, gives
an excellent, life-like and exact
portrait of Judson & Moore's famous
Rockdale Hal, together with an ex-
tended description and the pedigree
of this valued animal. The cut re-
ferred to, is an artistic piece Of work
and the article descriptive of the
horse is unreserved in it's unqualified
endorsement of his valuable and un-
doubted qualities, and asserts that
turf history will within few years
''be embellished with the record of
stubborn contests between the Halls
of Minnesota and the Halls from
Tennessee" In succeeding issue of
the same journal appears the follow
ing editorial excerpt from the the pen
of Trotwood, editor of the pacing de-
partment, a recognized authority on
such matters, and who, after extend
ing congratulations to Judson d
Moore, Halls owners, says: "The
horse is as we'll bred as he is good
looking, and SO typical Hal that we
would have recognized him had there
been no name below" aud further
adds ''there can be no question about
Rockdale Hal string speed and early
speed at that" 1t is a very high
compliment to the owners to have
such commentator from so authora-
tive q source, and it is a matter
of congratulation that SO valuable an
animal should be owned and located
in our vicinity.

School Notes.


The enrolment for the week in all
grades was about 800, and the at
tendance is gradually increasing.
Prof. Dewey is instructing the high
school boys in the rules of the Rugby
game of foot ball and coaching them
in the many points of the game. II
is needless to say the pupils are in
terested, and it is hoped the Herman
school will get up a team SO that
some games may by played in the
near future.
Work on the new school house adj
dition has so far progressed that the
exterior work is practically completed,
of the interior, contractor f. A. Han
cock expects to have at least one room
completed for occupancy by October
LIST, The work of putting the steam
heating apparatus in position is we'll
advanced, and the old portion of the
building will be equipped as soon as
possible, so as to provide the rooms
with heat, should a sudden change
in temperature demand it.
Owing to the crowded condition of
the rooms and the fact that Miss
Ware is unable to take her position
as yet, the grades are of necessity
somewhat punched, but this is only
temporary and of course unavoidable,
and while it imposes extra and adj
ditional duties on the teachers, does
not materially interfere with the
regular progress in study.
