a beautiful selection from the ST. Louis
double quartette was followed by an
able and interesting paper ON Farm
Life as Vocation" by +. NJ Hetzman.
The speaker ably defended the position
that of all callings the farmers is the
most independent and in many WAYS
the most enjoyable. Tier may be
more pomp and glitter and parade in
the city; there may be urban possibIli-
ties which are out of the farmers reach;
farmers sons and farmers daughters
may yearn to mix and compete with
the throng at the metropolis, but let it
be remembered that not every attrac-
ton is an advantage, and that many Il
capable and vigorous youth has for a
time forsaken the old farm only 10
learn by blessed experience that though
it be rustic, there's no place like home.
Many blessings are 50 close that we
can't see them until we 90 away and
look back from another view point.
For independence, for comfort, for ma
ture, for the birthplace OF great men,
the farm is incompatible. Deprecate
1t not nor foisake it.
The hungry audience was then invi-
ted to dinner, each family feeding IT,

ing daintes with the neighbors. Per-
haps no feature of the day was more
heartily supported or highly enjoyed
than the old.fashione picnic dinner.

School Entertainment.

Prof. Fred. P. High, wit, humorist,
ventriloquist and dramatic reciter,
gave an entertainment in Young
Mems Literary and Sporting club
hall, Eckhart, Wednesday evening,
Dec. Is, for the benefit of the library
fund of the Eckhart Public School. A
large and appreciative audience listen
ed with rapt attention to each selec-
ton on the program. His High-ness
seems to be equally at home in tragedy
and comedy, alternating from grave
to gay with versatility rarely found.
Especial mention must be made of his
Interpretation and delinea,ion of
Shakspearean tragedy, his imperson-
alton of King Richard III. in selec-
tons taken from the tragedy of that
name, being pronounced by a rather
critical audience equal to the best.
The board of trustees, teachers and
pupils of the school express their
thanks to Prof. High for his excellent
entertainment, and to the good people
for their generous patronage. The
proceeds will add at least one hundred
neat volumes to the growing library.

other story about ''the advantages
derived by the town from the use of

convinced that the present Street com
mittee should be reelected horn. :"
AT the close of services in Il town
church Sunday last the pastor inform
ed the congregation THAT unless my
salary in arrears is paid no more SER

good man entertains conscientious
scruples about taking souls for his hire.
The Hon. Matt. Rowe has the boys
guessing concerning the place where
he is at. Both sides are dead sure he
is with them.
C. o. Towles has re-arranged his
front window and it is now a thickly-
studded gallery of new faces beauti-

Christ mas.

If there be one impeachment of the
wisdom of the Providence which placed
men on earth to work out their own
salvation with fear and trembling" it
is afforded by that provision which
Obliges them to learn the lessons of
life in the school of experience This
means that we must learn in order to
unlearn.
One by one, then, men must aban-
don the philosophers of youth, man
hood and even age.
Taking the sum of sophistry I'M
bibed during lifetime as the measure
of all we must reform, it is safe to say
that just when we are ready to begin
to live disease, infrmity, or years init
mate that it is time to die. "The golden
bowl is broken at the ,tountain''-it may
be Of true knowledge, and the unsatis-
fed soul goes hence with no assurance
outside of faith in revelation that it is
destined to graduate in the course Just
begun.
Here, therefore, all are students in
the University of Necessity. Some by
much toll win A. B., A. NJ. etc., and
through it all pick up much misin-
formation, certainly much imperfect
knowledge. At any rate, the last
frghtful determination the poor pupils
reach is that, after all, they know
nothing. 1t is made known to them
also that the approach to this demon
stration constitutes their first step in true
dn0wledge.
Does tbs course stop here?
The mathematician who spent a life
time vainly endeavoring to discover
the lost solution Of Euclid's famous
problem who seemed to reach so near
yet fell short so far Of the true result,
went to his death just as the light of
another sphere revealed to him the
fact that his method here was based
upon false theorem. Shall he never
be enabled to identify the source of his
only inspiration and to unlearn his
lifelong error
So with the astronomer-the survey

Mastering distances, orbits, velocities,
weights and materials, he forecasts

Pretty Windows,

Gus VIM. Zeller, barber, has a glass
aquarium in one of his windows that
attracts much interest. 1t holds about
80 gallons of water, and, literally sup
piled with gold fish, is live orna-
ment. Its "sea- bottom" is all that
fish can desire as resort for rest,
recreation and picnic purposes.
In the other window the most con-
spicuous feature is a white owl, lately
the victim of IA Garrett county farmer
and the subject of Baltimore taxi
denny. His is rare "color'' 70, an
owl hence, he was the topic of much
discussion, even in the press, when in
Baltimore.

Concerning this comment Mr.. High
writes in Il business letter to gentle
man in this vicinity:
You probably saw the way the Forum
went for me. | never got but two ''roasts'

elocutionists who could not make living at
that business. Any man who can't tell an

certainly not good judge of either.

Of PUNCH to BRACE me up a BIT.

The papers, dearest little PLUMB;
I'll meet you at the outer stile-
Just WIRE me if you NUT come.
