Besides the loss Of their Asiatic feet
the SpaniardS must, because of the
crushing defeat they have suffered in
this instance. relinquish their hold
upon the Philippine Islands, which are
far greater in extent and commercial
importance than has generally been
supposed In his Philippine eXpedi-

Some OF the patriotic people OF our
city have felt that River Falls should
have some emblem showing the earn
est feeling it has towards the union.
Actuated by this worthy motive a
committee has solicited subscriptions
with the result that a beautiful flag
is now waving over the lookout mound
on the north side of the city. The
prominence of the spot allows the flag
to be seen from nearly every part of
the city as we'll as many miles into
the country.
The spirit which actuated its pur-
chase is a commendable one. The
floating flag which will catch the eye
of almost every citizen each day is an
object lesson in these days of making
history. Every victory will arouse
new enthusiasm for the flag and each
misfortune TO our arms only slim ulate
to greater and more careful eXertiOn
in behalf Of our country.
Sad as war always is, terrible as is
its nature and often disastrous in its
results, it teaches lessons of patriot
ism and fidelity as nothing else can
do. DemOraliZing as it must be from
its very nature, yet our nation has in
the past, as we trust it will when this
conflict IS ended. emerge like pure gold
tried in the fire and refined in the
| furnace Of the conflict.
And it is well that at such times,
when the glory of war and its attrac-
tons of romance and fame lead many
young men to the front that the flag
should greet them as they 60 and vel
come them when they return.
Let the flag then wave, tended by

Miss Woods talk on the Art OF
Story Telling, in the interest OF
kindergarten work was we'll attended
and appreciated at the Congrega tional
church Friday evening. Some one
has said ''the child is a bundle of
possibilities, an embryo artiticer, a
magazine Of latent forces" To de-
velop these possibilities into the
accomplished artiticer supplied with
the developed forces Of perfected
manhood or womanh0od is the SUI
preme duty Of parents, teachers and
statesmen. Too often the child's
intellect in his early years is neglected
and he is left to his playthings to learn
what he can by observation without
assistance. The kindergarten was
instituted to supply a crying want
preparatory to the common school.
Its methods are adapted to the ap-
prehension Of the little people, to
interest, amuse and develop-to lead
them along by easy steps, by natural
stages gradual and certain. A study
of the character of each individual
child and a special treatment Of each
temperament and capablity is taken
advantage Of to his benefit. To
arouse and maintain his interest
there is nothing so effective as the
recital of a story in language suitable
to his comprehension and in a manner
that captivates. This art of story
telling is one that must be acquired
if one expects to be successful in
winning the children. In addition to
the aroused interest great truths may
be inculcated in these stories. Miss
Woods gave the audience examples Of
the kind, and manner,of telling stories
to children. Her stories were
revelation Of the mplishment
that may be acquired in this line.
