1T HAS been found that the Parthe-
mons did not win all the contests af
ter all. An error was made in footing
up the totals in the contest in essay
between Mr.. w. S. Deffenbaugh and
Mr.. j. f. Nelson. Apparently Mr..
Deffenbaugh had won. But it was
discovered after the announcement
that Mr.. Nelson had really beaten his
opponent instead of being defeated

THE services of the entire day last
Sunday, at the M. e. church, were
given up to the children. The Sun

them. In the morning DR.. Cameron
took part of the time and preached a
brief sermon entirely for the little
folks, and in the evening the children
monopolized the time. The church
was very beautifully decorated and the
whole affair showed the vast amount
of painstaking work required of the
good ladies who drilled the children
for their parts.
WE have the pleasure of laying be-
fore our readers the eminent Professor
Mosso's definition of fear. He says it
is "a chaotic explosion of emotions, =
caused by an irregular supply of blood
to the brain. Furthermore, tevery
action is preceded every thought is
accompanied by vasomotor dilata
tion of the vessels in the brain, the
distribution of the area'of vasculariz-
alton being determined either by the
controlling area of consciousness or by
the repercussive influence of some ex-
ternal stimulus" Commit this to
memory, and next time you are scared
nearly to death just stop and repeat
it. Never forget the vasomotor dila-
tation of your area of vascularization.

an X-Ray instrument, which he will
receive in few days. This is the
first and only instrument of the kind
