FAREWELL TO SCHOOL.
Verses Composed by n Pupil at st
Mary's. Deer Lodge.

verses Composed by Pupil at st
Mary's. Deer Lodge.
Deer Lodge, June 3O-The following
pretty verses, entitled Farewell to School
Days at St. Marys," were composed by
Miss Mary Stanislaus Narby, one of the
graduates of the class of 99, and respect
fully dedicated to the same:
Like the strain of sweetest music,
School and childhood glide away,
Leaving soft and lingering echoes
To return from day to day
Our last strain of school is chorded,
Its gentle tones are dying fast;
And as we pause to hear the echoes
Echoes of our happy past.
We have but farewell to murmur.
With tear-flled eye and aching heart;
To turn from haunts of blissful childhood,
From teachers loved and friends depart.
Years we spent within the haven
OF st. Mary's hallowed walls;
Now, alas those years are ended
And we must answer other calls.
But e'er we turn from this dear threshold,
To tread life's weary, weary way,
Hearken to our voice, dear sisters,
List to what we have to say.
we ledVe you not without your treasures,
We leave with gems worth more than
gold
God grant these gems remain unfair
nished
Whateer the future may unfold.
All, Within the hearts deep casket
Are the gems of convent youth:
St. Marys heirloom to her children,
The priceless gems of love and truth.
Vain would any lips try whisper
The gratitude we feel to-day,
But our Savior knows our pulses,
And our debt to you He'll pay.
Dear companions of st. Mary's.
We must leave you; we must sever;
To you whose joy and grief we shared,
We must say farewell forever.
But when parting beams of day
Hover round old Powell's brow
Recall the loving friends of youth.
Who know, revere and love you now.
And when you kneel within the chapel
Before the mystic Lord divine,
Where we so often knelt together,
Pray for the class of ninety-nne!
Childhood's passing, passing by;
School and teachers. loved companions,
To you we bid fond good-bye

WEATHER MAN is GENEROUS

shine These December Days, Much
TO Delight of shoppers.

The tourist in search of ideal weather
would do we'll to strike Omaha these De-
Cember days. There Is warmth of sun
shine, with air just brisk enough to be an
invigorating tonic. The snow and rain of a
few days ago have entirely disappeared and
Omaha is In the midst of enchenting au-
tumn environments. Overcoats are used,
but they are not necessity, except after
sunset, and even then they might be left
off without causing any suffering.
This kind of weather is in marked con
trast to the average December and is hailed
with delight by Christmas shoppers and
those who cater to the Christmas trade.
The weather and general prosperity are
making a busy season for merchants Every
night this week the retail streets have been
thronged with shoppers until late hour
and The cars running into the residence
districts have been crowded until nearly
midnight.
In years gone by the week before Christ
mas has frequently been noted for low tenn
perature, cloudy skies and binding snow.
How long this balmy condition will con-
tinue the weather man is unable to guaran-
tee, but the indications are favorable for
a sunny Christmas. At noon yesterday the
temperature was 40 degrees.

NO ADVANTAGE TO BE GAINED
Non-Dcpository Banks i'm Omaha Will
Not Ask 20 he Made De-
EOsitOrics.

The non on-depository national banks in
Omaha are not likely to seek designation as
repositories under the new policy of the
secretary of the treasury, whereby he pro-
poses to increase the deposits of public
funds in depository banks and designate
new repositories. For the same reason that
the five repositories in Omaha do not pro-
pose to increase their deposits of govern
ment funds the other national banks will
not seek to be designated as government
repositories. The reason is that govern
ment bands are so high that the purchase
of the necessary bonds with which to secure
deposits would entail TOO great an expense
to render such transactions profitable.
When asked II the Union National bank
is likely to seek to be made a government
depository w. w. Marsh. president of that
institution, said: Il don't know just what
our policy will be in that respect but
don't think there is any likelihood of it.
You know, under the prevailing prices OF
government bonds there would be no profit
in it, and all that could be gained would be
the prestige of being a government deposi-
tory. l don't think that this bank will ask
to be made depository"

Mrs. Prizes sets forth that she married DR..
Prizes in Denver, July, 1882. They have two
children-Olga, aged To- and Blanche, aged
IL. On July 81 of this year, so the petitioner
alleges. DR.. Prizes announced his intention
to make brief visit to Colorado Springs and
that he would take the children with him.
Mrs Prizes was willing, she declares, but
was greatly surprised on reaching the rail-
way station on the day Of departure to find
that the doctor had transportation to Ger
many instead OF Colorado Springs and that
he was going aboard an eastbound train in
stead of westbound, as he had led her to be-
lieve. On making this discovery Mrs. Pri s
begged her children to remain with her. She
succeeded in holding Olga, but Blanche ac-
companied her father
Shortly after reaching Germany, the petit
toner relates, Dr. Prizes wrote her that
Branche had sustained fatal injury in an
accident and that she had been buried AS
proof of his assertion, he enclosed photo
graph representing the child in death. It
subsequently developed, so Mrs. Prizes de-
clares, that Blanche had not met with any
accident, and that the death scene was
pictured simply to torture the mother.
DR.. Prizes returned from his European
tour, leaving Blanche in Germany, so the
petition states, and since his return he has
, not lived with the plaintiff nor contributed
to her support, although he is said to earn, by
the practice of medicine, from $500 to $500
per month.
Mrs. Prizes prays the court to grant her
absolute divorce and to allow a reasonable
alimony it being set forth that the petit
toner is without means or support The
petitioner specially prays the court to award
her custody of her infant daughter. Blanche,
and that the little girl be returned to Omaha
from her present abiding pace in Germany.
Olga the 15-year-old daughter continues to
reside with her mother.

Rise to an Estate Contest in

When Harriet Ballou, widow, died a few

Ballou, but a will has been discovered in
