Among the good rhetoricals this
term the one given by Miss Polin of
Alma, Buffalo Co, Wis, is to be
classed. Miss Polin spoke Of the
herd Of buffaloes owned by Huber
brothers who have their farm about
twelve miles from Alma. Mr.. Huber
and his brother were in northern
Minnesota several years ago and while
there they bought pair of young
buffalo from a widow The gentle
men built long rack, covered it with
a canvass and loaded their freight,
stopping at various towns on their
way home and exhibiting their proper
ty thereby paying all the expenses Of
the trip.
The brothers went to Chicago not
long since and bought "Old Lincoln"
as he is called-a good representative
Of Americas once noble roamers Of
the prairies. The Hubers now own
twenty-eight buffalo and their value
is no small sum. They are allowed to
run the whole year as stabling makes
them too warm.
If at any time the readers of the
JOURNAL happen down to Alma it
would pay them to take run out to
this interesting farm.

Prof. Sims has taken up a new line
of work in his Ciycs classes by intro
ducing sociological topics Mr.. Sims
believes that the schools of this
country must sooner or later do some
thing beyond teaching the mere
machinery Of the government. The
great social inequalities, the wretched
| condition of the inhabitants of the
| city slumS and other kindred places are
the consequence of some cause and it
is for the schools to study these causes
and supply the panacea. The Uni
versity of Chicago has taken up this
work with great success. Many other
great educational and phlanthropic
organizations are doing kindred work.
A systematic study OF the wants Of
man and an intelligent administer
ing to these wants will do more to
solve the question of anarchy political
corruption and the deadly influences
of the brothels than any course Of
legislation possibly can do. Mr.. Sims
may be building more wisely than he
| now thinks.

The Band Stand is nearly COM
pleted, and is a good one When
finished and garnished with coat Of
paint it will be an ornament in the
locality. The space between Burhyte's
aud Klien is part Of Elm Street
and as matter Of course no private
buildings could be put up here with
out a vacation Of that part Of the
streets The front of this space has
been appropriated for advertising
shows upon a bill board The Band
stand makes a pleasing contrast TO
the dirty pile of boards bedraggled
with ragged paper, 1t has been sug-
gested that the City Council might
appropriately arrange that this space
on Elm street between Main street
and the river, which is enhanced in
value by the construction Of this
handsome band stand, should be
further improved for the convenience
of the public. If seats were placed
in the rear of the band stand it
would be a comforting convenience
and a means of preventing the OBJ
struction Of the sidewalks when the
band was playing.

HOW I'VE RdiSSu money.
We are asked to state briefly how
we raised 81 900 and decorated our
building with more than POO classic
pictures. First, by visits and cores
pondence, we learned what other
schools had done in this direction.
Then, through the local press, a series
Of articles on the importance Of art in
the schoolroom was given.to the pub
lie.
Knowing that business men when
asked to contribute money would de-
sire to know definitely what we pre-
posed to do and how much it would
cost. printed list Of the desired
pictures and statuary was published
The pictures we're carefully graded for
the classes, from the first primary to
the ninth grammarigrade.
Care was exercised to approach at
first those men known to be generous
and public spirited All were seen in
the evening, when the conditions
were most favorable. The first sub
scription covered the cost of the ninth
and eighth grades, the second the cost
of the seventh grade. After that,
gentlemen subscribed for picture or
pictures in any grade, according to
taste or fancy An effort was made
to have each subscriber take at least
one picture, and none was valued at
less than ten dollars.
A proposed catalogue, giving the
names Of the pictures and the con-
tributors, greatly assisted us. The
children became SO interested that
they often asked their parents to sub
scribe for pictures for their particular
rooms. Some of the graduates of the
school were easily induced to furnish
the assembly hall with twenty-five
historic pictures.
We were also aided by the under
standing that, as soon as the decora-
tion.of the building should be COM
pleted, there should be public re-
ception, when the pictures would be
on exhibition, Notwithstanding
small admittance fee was charged
more than 1000 people attended this
reception, affording a neat little sum
of money for the founding OF an art
library in our building The pictures
are excellent, a large part Of them
consisting Of the Braun celebrated
carbon photographs. They are framed
in oak, which harmonizes with the
finish and tint of the rooms.

We notice that some cities are
favoring the arranging of what might
be termed an accommod tion room
for the people who come in from the
country around to trade. 1t is a
move in the right direction. To fit
up room with few seats, couple Of
lunch tables, some drinking water and
a few other conveniences would be
greatly appreciated by many who
come into town TO trade and do not
feel at home waiting in the stores.
The ladies and children would par
ticularly appreciate it. Such public
waiting room could be maintained
here at a slight expense. -Mondovi
