0ur Schools Advance.

A communication from State High
School Inspector Geo. B. Alton has
been received by SupI't. Thatcher to
the effect that he will at the coming
meeting of the state high school
board gladly recommend the Little
Falls high school for second class list
on the basis of this years work.
Further, should we progress as
rapidly during next year as we have
during this, he will again rejoice
with us in recommending our schools
for first grade rank. Reaching first
grade rank at the close OF next year
virtually means that during that
year we must meet the requirements
of first gradesschools throughout
the state and W doing tirst-class
work. Although it may appear to
other schools that our advancement
has been unusually rapid, yet the
thorough work that has been done
during the past two years and we
trust will be done during the next
year, with the additions and improve
ments which have been made in our
laboratories and library, and the
quality of the graduating class Ut
this year, will fully justify re-
cognition, on the part of the state
high school board. of our schools as
belonging to the first-class list

On Monday night = young man
who holds down the the night job at
a popular place in this city worked
off a joke on four other fellows which
they will remember for sometime.
For several nights his lunch had
been disappearing, and he was
obliged to 60 hungry for several
hours. He finally concluded that it
would be a good IDEA to season his
lunch with crotOn oil, and on Mon
day purchased quantity and used
it ON the cake, pie, sandwiches, etc,
which had been set out for him. The
fellows who had been playing the
joke on him on previous occasions
showed up ON schedule time and he
gave them an opportunity to play
their little game. When he returned
the jokers were where he left them,
but from the expression on their
faces no knew they had downed the
lunch, but he opened not his mouth,
and awaited results which were not
long in showing up. Some of them
were sick, and at times were afraid
they were going to die and again
afraid they would not die. The man
whose lunch had been taken was
almost as sick as the other fellows,
but it was from laughter over the
antics of the lunch grabbers. One Of
the men had intended to take the
midnight train for Duluth, but
changed his mind after getting the
lunch.
He can now leave his lunch on the
counter without fear of being
disturbed.

Wanamaker Interviewed

John Wanamaker of Philadelphia, who
has just returned from visit of three
months to Europe, studied the question
of trade somewhat closely while he was
abroad. There is good business this
year." he says, "all over Europe, be-
cause of the large American orders on
hand. Manufacturers smile most con-
tentedly, knowing that with a low tariff
they will draw our buyers so long as
their labor costs less than ours. while
financiers shrewdly forecast the future
in the light of gathering up our gold to
make the settlements required by a
heavy balance of trade against u.s.
Many of them think it impossible for
our Treasury to keep steady gold re-
serve if our foreign purchases continue
to exceed our exports. Moreover, they
think we are blind to the drift of events
and must be forced ultimately to silver
basis. They say frankly that this is why
they distrust American securities"

SchofieId and Miles.

Under the army rules approved by
Congress, Lieut. General John NJ. Scho-
field, commanding the army of the
United States, retired from active ser.
vice on the 29th, ult., having reached the
age of Ga. Gen. Schofeld is the last sur
vivor of the great commanders who
served on the Union side during the war
of the rebellion. At the outbreak of the
war ne was captain of artillery and by
reason of conspicuous service rose
through successive grades to a major
generalship of volunteers. He was en-
trusted with many important commands,
participated in Sherman's march to the
sea, was in command of the department
of North Carolina, and aided in the op-
erations which led to the surrender of
Gen. j. E. Johnston, the closing event
of the war.
Gen. Nelson A. Miles, who succeeds
Gen. Schofield, is 81 years of age, and be-
gan his soldierly career as subaltern in
the 22nd Massachusetts, volunteers at the
first call for federal troops in 1861. Since
then he has won fame and promotion,
and his star of good fortune has always
been in the ascendant.
Al the close of the war General Miles
was detailed for service against the In
dians on our Western frontiers, and so
successful was he in waging war against
the bloodthirsty savages that he won for
himself the soubriquet of the "Fighting
Eagle" His campaigns against the In
dians indicated the possession of high
strategic ability, which, added to his
well known daredevil courage, made
him the most feared and most respected
of all our soldiers by a foe that paid
tribute only to those who earned it on
the field of battle.
