The fact that the big" river,
between here and Prescott, has long
been without water except at seasons
of much rainfall, has become so
generally known that nowadays only
children or strangers are surprised at
finding, instead of a broad, easy
current, suggested by the name Big, a
sandy gulch, rock-strew and scarcely
wet enough to afford room for the
sporting of the green-eyed pollywog.
There was time, however, when this
gave rise to no end of awkward situa-
tions. and brought the pioneer settlers
into some little scorn. For example
a worthy pioneer who had taken up
his abode on the banks of the so-called
Big river, sent word to neighbor of
Milwaukee urging him to come North
and describing his new home as farm
ten miles from Prescott on the shores
OF the Big River. When the good
immigrant arrived with his family at
Prescott. he set out at once on the
road indicated. Having travelled
what he reckoned to be very liberal
ten miles, without finding either his
friend or the rolling expanse of a
great river, he sought out the nearest
settler and explained his plight.
"Ohl the Big river?" said the fellow
carelessly. Its the Big river you're
lookin' for? Well, we've passed it a
mile back"
A mile back!" repeated the immi-
grant, San if We call that bit of frog
puddle at the bottom o. yon sandy
gulch big river, how, man, in the
de'il's name, would We have me see a
little one with the naked eyer"

Normal Jottings.

Nearly every boy at some time in
his life is known by the name Of
Sonny" but it is seldom indeed, that
one is called Mooney"
A number OF the students took adj
vantage of the brief recess and visited
out of town. The majority were back
by Wednesday morning ready for
work.
Pres. Parker paid our teachers
meeting visit Tuesday morning and
gave an interesting and valuable re-
sumo Of his visit to the Superintend-
ents' Association indianapolis.
In our last weeks items the names
of Prof. Clark and Miss Shultes were
unintentionally omitted from the list
of those who are to take part in the
program of the N. w. Il. A. to be
held in Eau Claire the last week in
March.
The n. A. @. are preparing for a
banquet. A committee of five has
been appointed to make all the neces-
sary arrangements. Invitations will
be issued to few gentlemen outside
of the club. The ladies who are so
fortunate as to get "a bid'' may feel
piimented as the evening will be
one Of unusual delight.
This delightfully."- cold weather
stimulates the students to more and
better work. The classes. with one or
two exceptions, are not overcrowded.
Upon the whole the school is in
excellent tone and the earnestness
with which the work is being done
demonstrates the proposition that the
Normal School is an excellent itstitu-
ton and one that trains in the habit
of right study.
The Literary Society is in excellent
condition. The mem bership is large,
the programs are good, the officers are
| earnest and the disturbance is some
times disgraceful. With little more
thought upon the part of those who
have made an unusual amount OF
noise during the sessions of the Society
the blight can easily be removed. Ii
is the duty of the president to pre-.
| serve order and we hope to see the pres
ent executive take a stand for order
and dispatch of business. The Society
will stand by him as will every body
else who respects law and order.

@iieof Merton ID. Smith, aged 80 years,
3 months and IL days.
Mrs Smith was the eldest daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Aubin Glover of Kinnic-
kinnic, and was born in Troy, Nov. IL,
1866. She went to school at the River
Falls High School and had nearly COM
pleted the course when, on March oath,
1883, she was married to Mr.. Smith.
She was young woman of quiet de-
pertinent, and of very gracious and kind
ly manners. Several years of suffering
from the sinister effects of consumption
gave her face a wan and patient ex-
preston, but she made it her careful
task to be cheerful. A husband and two
children, Floyd aged eight, and Vidells,
aged four, survive her.
