The Bridge School Literary
Society.

The exercises of the society ON
the evening of the 18th began by
the celebrations of the birthdays
of Washington and Lincoln. A
large and appreciative audience
greeted the performances. The
program consisting of patriotic
selections of music together with
selections suitable for such Il
celebration, was nicely rendered
by the children. Several child
rem took part in giving the Life
of Lincoln" commencing with a
little first reader girl who spelled
the name of our martyred presi-
pent, and ending with his sad
and tragic death recited by IL pu-
pill of the fourth grade. The
part which seemed to have been
the most appreciated was the re-
presentation of the '''rhirteen
States. ''Columbi;l" dressed
in onr national colors, entered
bearing a large flag and wearing
q crown of stars, The "states"
were called out one 10y one and
received from her hands the
chosen emblem of our nation:
each reciting in turn ~ tiiiiMy
selection commemorative lle
''glories Of the great lhirlenli.
Columbia recited IL portion OF
Longfellow's beautiful poem en-
titled The Ship of State after
which they all marched u oAnd
bearing aloft the banner of the
free and singing God Save the
State - The exercises which
were very impressive. :nd
listened to with marked u,tcn-
ton, were closed by l!ie singing
of "God and Home and Liberty.
Then came recess giving ;t
chance for the exercise 0f our
social natures. followed by IL con-
tinuatiOn of the Qebute entitled.
Resolved. That there is
more profit in raising stock
than in general farming. The
judges of this important debate
were Messrs. John Erickson.
Christ Bolllan and Samuel Nor
gard who had been ION their
honor" for two weeks. The de-
bate was. again opened by the
leaders Mr.. Fluto for the ahilln;l-
tive and Mr.. Sundin for the
negative, followed by three more
speakers on each side. After a.
spirited and hotly contested dis
cussion lasting about two hours.
the judges brought in Il unani-
NOUS verdict in favor Of the
arguments of the negative speak
ers: If the stock rsisers did
loose, they showed We y con-
clusively that mixed Turning
was much more profitable than
the raising of wheat alone. The
women present also became very
much interested in the discus
sion on the question. O;!e re-
marking that when their hus
bands mismanaged. they also,
have to suffer.
The next program of the socie-
ty is to be rendered March, 3.
Subject for debate.
Resolved, That there is more
accomplished in the darkness
than in the light.

Punishment Fires the House and
with Younger Sister Perishes.

Milwaukee, Dec. 31.--A special to the
Wisconsin from Osseo, Wis, says two
little children, a son and daughter. aged
four and two years respectively, of Mr..
and Mrs. Herman Bonger, were burned
to death in their home at Lincoln, Jack
son county. It is believed the fire was
set by. the little boy because he wa was S
punished and that part of his plan was
that his sister should die with him. Mr..
Bonger was away at work at the time
and the mother of the children was
making a call on neighbour The. boy
had been punished and was heard by
his mother to make a remark that he
was going to die and take his sister
with him. The fire was started in q
room where there was no stove, and it
is believed the boy carried out his
threat as planned.
