THE HOUSEkEEPER.

We take pleasure in calling the atten-
ton of our readers to this admirable
woman's magazine, recent issues of
which have been more than ordinarily
attractive. 1t has Just entered upon its
twenty first year, and the publishers
are celebrating the event by offering to
send the magazine for six months on
trial to new subscribers, and with it a
beautiful pin set with ruby stone en-
circed by six small pearls, both for
only 80 cents. Any one not satisfied
with their bargain can have their money
returned. This is certainly a remark
able offer and will doubtless attract
thousands of new subscribers.
The HOusekeeper is a delightful home
companion, Astounding in bright things.
No other domestic" magazine is so
prolific of practical suggestions along
the lines of home and social endeayOr.
To the prudent and economical house
wife it is invaluable, because its helpful
hints and easily understood directions
enable her to make the most of the
means at her command. No one can
read it without becoming familiar with
the science of household fnancie,ing in
all its branches. 1t discusses both the
ideal and practical sides Of home life in
the most entertaining and instructive
way. Its department devoted to mar
keting and cooking is especially val
liable. The departments of Fashions,
Fancy Work, Home Talks, Music and
Art, Mothers Council, Etiquette and
Toilet, Home Entertainments, Flori-
culture, News and Comment, Our Young
Folks, Queries and Replies, etc, etc,
each presents unrivaled features.
The Housekeeper is published twice
a month, and comprises twenty to
twenty four pages, 11x16. It is hand
somelV illustrated and printed. Size,
character and frequency of issue con-
sidered, it is the lowest priced woman s
magazine in the world. More than
$4,000 women take it. The House
keeper is published at 81 and SO South
Fourth street, Minneapolis, Mimi.

SCHOOL HOUSE DEDICATED.

The new district joining the village of
Nekoosa on the west, known as No i,
Town OF Port Edwards. recently colo
nized through the efforts of Geo. \.
Wood, has a new school house. 1t is a
large and commodious building. nicely
adapted to the purposes for which it
was erected and would be credit to
any district in Wood county. Mr.. Wood
took it upon himself to entertain the
good people of District No. Tuesday
the rural place of learning with music.
speechmaking, dancing, and refresh
ments. This district is populated about
equally by employees of the Nekoosa
paper mill and farmers. They all
responded to invitations and conse-
quently Mr.. Wood had large and
happy family on his hands at the
dedication.
Messrs. A. H Colcord, Hubert Colcord
and Wallace Demeroe furnished sweet
music for the occasion on guitar and
mandolins. Theo. w. Brazeau, prlnci-
pal of the Grand Rapids ward school, a
Wood County boy deeply interested in
educational work, gave a fine dedica
tory address flied with good thoughts.
The close attention paid to his remarks
by the audience would lead one to
believe that the people of the district
are thoroughly alive to the benefits
they will derive from their new educa
tional center. Dancing followed Mr..
Brazeau's talk-with an interval for a
delicious luncheon of COTE, sandwiches,
cream cakes, apples, nuts, and other
palatable sweetmeats provided from
Mr.. Woods comissary. 1t was clean
cut, unusually pleasing dedication and
an event not soon to be forgotten by
those in attendance.
This schoolhouse is the elimination of
a four year struggle against odds to
convert an undeveloped tract OF land
into thrifty and prosperous homes and
farms. The result has given a main
thoroughfare from the village of Ne
koosa to the western portion Of the
county, shortening the distance p
miles. 1t has brought thirty families
resident where formerly was not one.
And lastly it has put knowledge
dispensing crown on the brow of the
pretty bluff overlooking Nekoosa.
The new schoolhouse cost $500, and
fixtures $125. The officials are: Clerk,
w. IL. Cook; Treasurer, August Zirbel;
Director, c.. A. Larson. School will
commence Monday next with Miss
Lizzie Cleveland as teacher. The good
work has but fairly begun.
