TEACHERS AT LAMBERTON,

On Saturday, May 9th, at Lamber-
ton, occurred the last meeting of the
South Side Section of Redwood Coun-
ty Teachers Reading Circle The
meeting was not large, but there was
much interest manifested. Prest. E.
K. Green said this meeting would be
like Joseph's coat, one of many colors,
and it was. Miss Bertha Byington re-
cited "The Organ Builder;" Miss Lena
Nelson "Gone with a Handsomer
Man," Miss Grace Jewison GLOW
They Fixed it Up;"Misses Higinin and
Byington sang a duet. Spelling Re-
former Moore delivered an "exorta-
tion." He exhorted us to do better
work and to be better students and
teachers. Miss Belle Stewart recited
"God will take care of Bill" The rec
itations were all feelingly delivered.
President Green said some good
things about elocution as a means Of
bettering our reading. He put much
stress on the work in the first, second
and third grades. Supt. Race gave
an informal talk on "The Teacher, her
School and her Influence" A. C..
Lamport had something to say about
"The Help and Value of the Teachers
Organization" He believed in the
teachers meeting. "It helped me and
I'm able to do better work" Twas
nearly four o'clock when President
Green said, Is there any further busi-
ness to come before the meeting? He
looked pleased when he said "will the
Lamberton teachers step forward?"
and the four filed out into the hall
and in few minutes returned bear
ing beautiful bouquets for each
teacher present. Again they disap-
peared, and again they re-appeared
laden with, ice cream and cake. It
was complete surprise. There were
no toasts given, but there was much
merriment and many pleasant words
spoken. The Lamberton teachers
completely overcame all formality.
The rural sisters and brothers passed
warm thanks of praise to the quar-
tette. The Spelling Reform associa-
ton was recognized with O. P.
Moore as president and Miss Belle
Stewart as secretary. After passing
compliments upon the work of Presi-
dent Green, Secretary Byington, Con-
ductors Stewart and Green and

journed until next fall or upon call of

THE LEGION OF HONOR.

The following unique production
was written by Mrs. Jessie Grove of
GAINESVILLE, Mimi, member of Victory
Council No. 143, of the Northwestern
Legion, where 112 members are en-
rolled, and is copied from the Argus:
Once upon morning dreary while pom
dered sad and weary.
The old problem how best to scrub the
kitchen floor,
l heard a gentle tapping as of someone
softly rapping,
And l thought you We caught me mapping,
Whosoever's at the door.
Twas a man of stately bearing, an air of
conquest wearing,
AS he said with hat uplifted l am Mr..
Big-a-loW,
1 represent the Legion of Honor in this
region.
Insurance and fraternity should be as
one you know.
So with courtesy and kindness he con-
vinCed US of our blindness,
While he talked of dues and councils and
the workings of the corps.
Passing on from cot to palace, without fear
and without malice,
To present the golden chalice, life insur-
anCe at each door.
He brought doctors. lawyers, preachers, he
brought editors and teachers,
And jewelers., bankers and others by the
score,
He brought matrons, lads and lassies and
tradeSman of all classes.
So you see it quite surpasses anything
we've had before.
Then he sought wise physician to- attest
to their condition,
When he marshalled all his forces upon
the council floor,
In the face of opposition he toiled without
COntritiOn.
Til he met with such fruition as ne'er
was seen before.
People said, you'll raise no Legion, in this
unpropitious REGION"
And when it seemed a failure they said,
II told you So"
But success our pathway lighted and we
stand band united.
With our grievances all righted thanks
to Mr.. Big-a-low.
The Legion of Honor was founded
in 1880 and is therefore 16 years old.
1t is Incorporated under the laws of
Iowa and Minnesota and is increasing
rapidly all over the country. Among
its superior advantages are several
features which commend themselves
as wise and benefcent. It receives
both sexes on an equality, thus in
creasing and making permanent in
terest in the regular meetings of it's
various lodges. 1t creates legal re-
serve fund, one-fifth of all payments
being devoted especially to that pur-
pose. This will guard against possible
epidemics and afford relief in making
permanent the minium average age.
1t gives 5 per cent of receipts to the
local treasury, thus making strong
and vigorous the local lodge. 1t gives
40 per cent to all members who attain
to the age of 70 years so that it's mem-
bers are laying up something con-
stantly against the day of old age. 1t
bases eligibility upon soundness of
body and mind between the ages of
Is and IS and finally it seeks to es-
tablish the stronger ties of fraternity
among it's members, establishing up
on a permanent and lasting basis the
fraternal side of human nature. These
are some of it's prominent features"
Mr.. Big-a-low is at the Commercial
and will organize council of this
order in this city.
F. A. Donahower, president of the
First National Bank at St. Peter,
Mimi. says, II took $1,000 insurance
in the n. w. L. Y. II. in 1886 at the
age of Sc, and it has only cost me $49
per year."

DIR. LEE AGAIN ARRESTED.


 Judge Thayer Holds Him in Two Thou
 sand Dollar Bonds to Appear in the
 Superior Court.
 A bench warrant for the arrest of Dr. John Edward Lee was issued yes terday morning by Judge Thayer in the superior court at the request of State Attorney Williams. The complaint charges Dr. Lee with committing a criminal abortion on Bird Madeline Palmer of 42 Whalley avenue. The young woman has stated that she was under the impression that she and Dr. Lee were legally married at Stony Creek about two years ago.
 State Attorney Williams founded his motion upon the alleged prima facie evidence in his possession that the doc tor had committed the crimes charged to his account. Within a half hour af- ter the warrant was issued Dr. Lee walked into the court room, escorted by an officer, and was placed in prison CTS pen to await arraignment. Prem tice w. Chase, Lees attorney, joined him in a few minutes. His case was called when Judge Thayer had charged the jury in a case which was being tried when Dr. Lee was brought into court. The charge was read. It was, in substance, that the prisoner, on the 22d of Septem- Der, 1896, in the town of Derby, did beat and assault Bird Maud Palmer of New Haven and upon her used an instrument for the purpose of produc- ing an abortion.
 Not guilty was Lees answer to the charge, and he was put under $2, 900 bonds to stand trial, in default of which he was returned to the jail as closely guarded as he had come from there.
 There is a case pending against Dr. Lee in the city court and is set for trial next Saturday.

STRIKE AT THE CREST FACTORY

The following notice was posted up in the Greist factory, Westville, yesterday by the company:
 "The piece work prices in this factory were fixed at a time when the ouant'- ties were less than one-fifth of what they are now, and no reductions have ever been made. The time has now come when such reductions are neces- sary in order that the company should get some of the benefits arising from the larger quantity. Therefore the piece work price will be immediately revised, such revision to take place on to-day's work. Notice of these rices will be immediately posted"
 Tn consequence aeventy-flve of the men employed struck and several of them waited on MT. Greist The vice president, however, after explaining to the men the reason for the reduction, allowed them to go, telling them that if they desired to return this morning they could do so, but that their places would be filled if they were not in their | places when the power started in the | morning.
 | MT. Greist said yesterday afternoon | that owing to the large amounts of work now done the men can run their presses for days at a time without stoppage for adjustment. Formerly frequent stoppages had to be made, the men losing considerable time thereby, the quantity of orders being small Now, aIso." added MT Greist, "we have added much new machinery, by 1 the aid of which the work can be done much quicker. but we have still been paying the same price per thousand thereby receiving no benefit from the great improvements. Our idea is tc have a just, fair and simply equitable division of the profits on these improve ments with our employees"
 It is thought the men will accede tc the terms, a disposition to consider the matter having been manifested.

THE MOST ABUSED

Member of the body is the foot, both of
 them Almost from the cradle to the
 grave they are abused.
 Vanity and mean shoes cramp and distort them until it has become the fashion now for some shoemakers to try and ease the corn agony of the victims of their poor shoes by hiring a corn doctor to take out the corns free.
 That's modern Mercy with vengeance.
 Now. l sell shoes, tool That is my
 sole business and 1 expect to stick to
 my last.
 But this will do. I'll dis charge any clerk in my em- ploy who attempts to sell a shoe to man, woman or child, that will create corns, just for the sake of making a sale.
 No shoeman sells any better or finer shoes than 1.
 No shoeman sells them for less. In this day of jugger- naut crushing competition the man who charges more than his neighbors soon puts up his shutters.
