NEW YORK, April 19.-There are
men in Wall Street who still believe

With sufficient tenacity to decline to sell

which had been bought in London at

early decline in London seemed to in

London and also in Berlin and later
dealings there, witnessed a recovery in
Americans, though the Spanish bonds
continued to drop. This tendency con-
tinued in London even after the close
of the exchange in the trading on the
streets. 1T was a tendency that gave
color to the belief in certain circles
in Wall Street that Spain is pressed

The GuiIesOme Stranger and the Ready
Victim.
ANDREW DICKEY.

Quite number Of prominent
farmers residing in this section
were neatly taken in by foreign
mutual hail insurance company
last spring. The agents only asked
for the pay ment Of $500 by each
farmer at the time of their visit
but what was more important they
secured a signature to a five years
contract from each. Recently
each farmer received notice Of an
assessment levied against him of
from $50 to $50. The company is,
without doubt, a fraudulent one
but it will be an expensive fight
for the farmers if they refuse to
pay. It's the old story of the
gu1lesome stranger and the ready
victim who is prejudiced against
doing business with the business
people of his own community
because they may make reasonable
profit on the transactions. Near
ly all reliable fire insurance COM
panies write hail insurance and
every resident insurance agent in
this or any other locality would
protect his patrons.-Durand
Wedge.
This reminds US that the agents
of the same insurance concern put
in two weeks in this vicinity and

them, but could see they were los
ing men by the hundreds, so they
knew enough to get out and we to
jump in. 1t was wonderful for US
to get into the city with so little
loss, for the trees and brush were
cut up all round us and the mud
tossed in our faces. The boys were
all cheerful, and We passed into the
city With a yell that could have
been heard in River Falls if you
had been out Of doors. But we
were muddy lot. You see the
mud was about a foot deep, and we
were up and down and on all kinds
of ground but that didn't matter.
[ got a ball through my pants
leg, but that was all. We did not
have a chance to dry our clothes
or get the wet ones off for three
days, but they got dry, and the
mud got scratched off. The nat
ives expected to go into the city
with us and their object was muir
der and plumber, and when we
would not let them we thought we
had big fight on our hands, but
they had little knowledge of
what we could do and so kept quiet.
The city of Manila is walled
and we'll protected with cannon.
We had the water supply cut off,
and the city has no sewerage, SO
it was just about as filthy a place
as one could find. We have clean
ed ut up and gotten the electric
lights going, and the water, also
the street cars. They have horse
cars or rather pony cars, for the
horses are all small. They use
the musk OK to haul their two
wheeled carts and the natives, Japs
and Chinese, carry loads on their
backs. We have changed our
quarters five times since we came
here and now ha re a very good
place. Where we were before we
could nearly jump into the ocean
from our back door. That was fine
in the morning and evening, but
during the middle of the day there
was danger of being stung by jelly
fish. The sting is about the same
as that of hornet. Haven't time
to write more, but will give you a
full account on my return.
Yours truly,
ANDREW DICKEY.

School Room Decorations.

One of the most striking phases
of the "New Departure" in
education exhibits itself in the
growing opinion that not all of
education is in formal instruction,
but that the growing mind is sus-
ceptible to silent influences which
may be almost if not quite as
great as those which spring from
the purposeful efforts of school
room instruction. One of the
evidences of this changing belief
manifests itself In the increasing
disposition to surround the chill
dren in the schools with means for
aesthetic growth by keeping before
them models of art,-portraits,
etchings, engrayings and statuary
serving their turn in stimula-
ting good taste and higher powers
of appreciation of things bea tiful-
With this end in view public
minded citizens of many OF the
cities of the country have organ
lied Decoration Clubs and have
given literally of time and money
to make the school rooms home-
like, attractive and educative in
their appointments and the indi-
cations are that there has begun
in our more populous centers
wave of school room improvement
which is destined to reach out
into every school district in the
land, and bring to an end the
crude notion that bare walls and
coarse appliances are good
enough for a school. 1t is to be
hoped that our citizens will look
with favor upon the effort which
is being made by the Tuesday Club
to give a series of entertainments
for the purpose of increasing the
decorations of our school rooms
and that the entertainment to be
given on Friday evening next, as
a Public School Benefit, will meet
with a hearty patronage such an
enterprise merits and that the
efforts of the Club may be reward
ed by a crowded house. Every
citizen of River Falls should have
a positive interest in the city
schools and good way to show
that interest is by giving the
Decoration Entertainment sub
stan ial support.
