Sauk Centre Academy and Business
College.

With the beginning of the new
year this school opens its regular
winter term. The work of this term
is specially designed for those who
have been unable to enter the regular
classes in public institutions on
account of teaching, or for other causes,
and who wish to employ the remain
der of the winter in the most effective
method of work. Under our system
of instruction every pupil will do
more work in less time than can
possibly be accomplished in schools
using the grade method. Experience
has shown us the wisdom of allowing
each pupil to select his own studies,
hence this privilege is granted. II is
desired that pupils should be present
at the opening of the term if possible,
but if this is impossible they will be
admitted at any time.
A course in book keeping, penman-
ship and commercial law is one of the
best courses for any young man or
woman to pursue. The Sauk Centre
Academy and Business College is the
cheapest and best place to secure a
thorough business education.

One would think that secretary
Gresham would hesitate to try any
further experiments in the foreign
policy line, his other efforts in this
direction having been such notifying
failures. However, he is at it again,
and this time he has formally notified
Spain that if the trade discrimina-
tions against this country do not
cease, our government will retaliate.
If only little foreign policy had
been considered when the last tariff
bill was granted, what a heap of
trouble it would have averted.

The entertainment by the Metro

the lack of any Objectionable matter

At $50 Monday evening the fire
alarm brought out every man, woman
and child in the town. Fire broke
out in the livery stable of w. A. Mat
teson, and in less than half an hour the
entire building was consumed bythe
flames. For time it seemed las
though it would be an impossibility to
save the adjacent buildings and store
across the street, hnt the nntirinr eff
forts of the fire department, aided by
men and women, who carried pals Of
water, kept the flying sparks from
setting fire. Had there been stronger
wind, there doubtless would have been
little of the business portionsot the
town left standing. Hancock has
reason to congratulate herself on the
ability of her fire department, as we'll
as her narrow escape from a serious
confagration. The loss to Mr.. Mat
teson is heavy one, as the building

Hypnotism is the latest fad, and
like other humbugs is epidemic in
the land. Like spiritualism it is
principally of the fake order, and
were it not that these disorders, like
the measles seldom affect the same
person more than once, we might feel
some alarm at the spread of thefdis-
temper. Frauds, crimes, offences and
everything but political lapses, are
charged up to hypnotic influences,
and instead of a woman being in every
case, hypnotism is now omnipresent.
This new disease is running riot in
Eau Claire, Wis, and is being extern
sively and extensively used for a two
fold purpose, TO fasten crime on a
lecherous quack and to mitigate the
ofense of his victims. 1t is sort of
double back action contrivance, and
warranted to increase the degree of
guilt in principal in crime, and
lessen the offence of the particeps
crlminis. There is no knowing to
what lengths the new humbug NAV
run, and it is mystery why some of
the unaccountable acts of the recent
congress are not attributed to this in.

The financial policy of the govern
ment could be worshipped without
offence to any ones religious scruples
or scriptural mandates, for it is like
unto nothing in the heavens above or
earth beneath. OF all the bur-
lesques on business methods, the
so-called policy out-skits any ex-
travaganza on the stage. 1t really
seems as if there was either collusion
between monied oligarchy and the
administration, or that the latter
were puppets in the hands of avaric-
ious schemers.

Estella, Estella, my flower of Heaven un-
soiled;
We welcome to our humble cot whom we

My blue-eyed angel baby, my love, my life,

Your chubby cheeks look brighter than the
apple on the tree;
Your ruby lips are sweeter than the honey

Yonr curling locks..of waving gold with
silken softness flow,
Like flowing robes of innocence on angels
here below.
Maria, Maria, my life, etc.
You are the little messenger of light from
heaven above,
The wingless little angel bringing peace
and joy and love;
The mellow morning May-fower that
blooms the year around,
Most precious jewel of our souls that can or
will be found.
Maria, Maria, my life, etc.
No star in Heaven shines so bright as dar-
ling baby's eyes;
No jewel gems a royal crown so precious,
such prize,
As you my little rosebud, my May-fower
blooming bright;
May Heavens hand preserve your bloom,
direct your path Alright.

On tomorrow vote will be taken

was a very close one, the plan being

People ought to be happy in this
life. All the beauties of nature are
spread out before them for their de-
location. There are just enough
clouds TO make one enjoy the sun
shine. The gloomy raindrops that
trickle down the blades of waving
grass turn to glittering diamonds
when touched by the first rays of
the sun. There are rosebuds and
green leaves in the spring, the
golden harvest of summer, the red
and brown harvests and ripening
fruits i'm the fall, and the glistening
frosts of whitehall add to the beau
ties of nature and please the eye.
Sweet songs can be heard every mo-
ment of life to gladden. the ear and
the God of nature has filled the
earth with rich viands to delight
the taste. Everything is furnished
for mans happiness and pleasure,
and If he won't be happy it is his
own fault. The person who doesn't
seek and find happiness out of the
many ways God has blessed his
creatures, makes a sad, dismal fail
IRE of life, and passes to the great
beyond a sinner against his fellow
man, sinner against his God and
a sinner against himself.
