PUBLIC SCHOOLS CLOSED.
EXERCISES HELD AT THE OPERA

ateS. A Large Audience.
The exercises at the opera house last
Friday evening brought to close the
spring term of The Dawson public schools.
An interesting program bad been pre-
pared for the occasion, and it was rem
dered in manner highly credltable to
the participants.
A source of profound regret was the
fact that Rev. r. j. Bigham of Augusta,
who had accepted the invitation to de-
liver the annual literary address, was
prevented by sickness from filling his
engagement. Superintendent Wright
did not receive notice of Rev. Bigham'
inability to attend until Thursday, and
he at once began an effort to secure an
other speaker for the occasion. Rev.
DIR. Lovett, presiding elder of the Melhc-
dist church, upon being appealed to,
consented to fill the place of speaker for
the evening, but in few hours after bis
consent was obtained Superintendent
Wright was again disappointed by re-
ceiving telegram from Or. LoVett stat
ing that he would be unavodably de-
tanned. It was then TOO late to secure a
speaker, and this interesting portion Of
the exercises was omitted from the pre-"
gram.
The program as rendered, though, was
hiehiy enjoyable. The songs were beau
tlfully sung and the essays of the young
ladies and the speeches of the young
gentlemen were splendid in conceptit n
and delightful in their rendition.
Superintendent Wright in few we'll
chosen words, announced his regret at
being unable TO secure speaker 10 de-
liver the literary address, and then ill.,
troduced Hon NJ. G.. Edwards, Jr., who
delivered to the graduating class their
diplomas
Although the evening was an eceed-
ingly sultry one, large crowd was on
hand to enjoy the exercises. Below is
given the program as it was rendered.:

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liqG.d laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. 1t
is the one perfect strengthening laAa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. It's perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants, by method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only IN order to get its beneficial

storytelling in Children.

In late paper a mother asked her
communicating readers to give her
some advice on the subject of breaking
up the habit of classifying in children.
She might find food for reflection in
the answer a thoughtful observer made
to parent who asked: when shall I
begin to train my children?" Madame,
that work was begun a hundred years
ago." At first thought that view must
be very dlscouraging, but the great
weight of truth it contains entities it to
more than a mention. The teachings
of the bible leads that way. Sins of
fathers are visited on children. But
leaving out prenatal influences, there
is way of dealing with children, which
will, at least, clear the skirts of par
ents, and surely procure some help to
the little ones. It is to speak and live
sincerely before them. There is not
one person reading this article who has
not seen deception, and in ways sug-
gested by occasions. Obedience not be-
ing the active principle in the family
the end described is obtain
ed in some other way.

gave them their power? >, Was it divine

have been better, purer, more just and
stable.
"Was it force of arms-war? Who
furnished the warriors? Who but the
mothers? Who reared their sons and
taught them that liberty and their
country were worth their blood? Who
gave them up, wept their fall, nursed
them in suffering and mourned them
dead?
''Was it labor? Women have always,
as rule, worked harder than men.
"Was it capital? Woman has fur

Who, then, can give the right, and on
what basis? Who can withhold it?
'In regard to my nationality, I was

mother were born there My grand
fathers and grandmothers, with two ex-

There is, once in while, monarch
who denies the right of man to place
a crown upon his head. Only the great
Jehovah can crown and annoint him for
his work, and he reaches out, takes the
crown, and places it upon his head with
his own hand. I suspect that this is in
effect what woman is doing today.
Virtually, there is no one to give her
the right to govern herself as men gov
ern themselves by self-made and self
approved laws of the land But in one
way or another, sooner or later, she is
coming to it. And the number OF
thoughtful and right-minded men who
will oppose must be smaller than
we think; and when it is really an ac-
complished fact, all will wonder, as I
have done, what the objection ever was.

How to RenOvate Velvet.

A simple method of cleaning velvet,
velveteen and plush is as follows: The
rule applies to all three kinds of goods
as all have pile which, if flattened,
must be assisted to rise again. With
the assistance of a stiff whisk broom,
pan of water and an obliging friend,
who will brush up the nap as you
hold up the goods taunt over the steam,
the wrong side to the water, these mo-
terials will look like new This process
removes wrinkles, brightens the color,
and make the crushed nap stand up
when brushed against the grain and will
answer for black or colored pile fabrics
If the velvet has a greese spot on it.,
remove with French chalk before
steaming. A sticky spot may be light
ly touched with clean, cold water be-
fore the steaming.

THE HOME
Colonial Children at Table.

In little book printed in America
about the time of the revolution, and
entitled "A Pretty Little Pocket Book"
there is given number of rules for
the behavior of children at the table,
which Miss Earle quotes in her Home
in Colonial Days"
They were not to seat themselves at
the table until after the blessing had
been asked, and their parents told
them to be seated.
They were never to ask for anything
on the table; never to speak unless
spoken to; always to break the bread,
not to bite into whole slice; never to
take salt except with clean knife
(there was one common saltcellar), and
not to throw bones under the table.
One rule read: Hold not thy knife
upright, but sloping; lay it down at
right hand of plate with end of blade on
the plate" Another, Look not earnest
ly at any other person that is eating"
When children had eaten all that had
been given them, if they were "moder-
ately satisfied they were told to leave
at once the table and the room.
In many households the children were
not allowed to sit at the table, but were
compelled to stand by the side of the
table during the entire meal. Il know
writes Miss Earle, "of children not so
years ago standing at meals at the table
of one of the judges of the supreme
court. He had bountiful table, was
hospitable entertainer and we'll
known epicure; but children sat not at
his board. Each stood at his own place
and had to behave with decorum and
eat in entire silence"
In some families children stood at a
side table, and trencher in hand, ran
over to the great table to be helped. In
other houses they stood behind their
parents, and food was handed to them
from the table. "This SEEMS COM
ments Miss Earle, closely akin to
throwing food to an animal, and must
have been among people Of low sta
ton.

Two Chulns.

In 1.-TWO Chums, the Story of Boy
and His Dog" Miss Minerva Thorpe
gives to the young folks an exquisite
tale of pure and wholesome adventures.
A little waif from the Aredennes forest
region, on the French-Belgian frontier,
obeys the last wish of a dying grand
mother by crossing the big pond in an
immigrant ship on quest after more
or less mystical relatives. He reaches
New York with IS cents and his beloved
dog, Jock, St. Bernard of unusual de-
votion and intelligence. What fate is
that of the two friendless chums in a
foreign land is told in bright, natural
style, and with touches Of real senti-
ment. This is a remarkably fine story
that is sure to please parents and child
rem alike. The illustrations are many
and the whole book most appropriate
holiday present.
Dreams and Omens," is the title of
another little book just from the press.

last spring, the two dear boys, after q
winter of confinement. had gotten into
the back yard. To them is was wonder

cinders! How insignificant, now, the

noticed. To coaxing was added candies,
the "old man" was coming around the
corner, and the big rats" would bite
on their toes. At last these pseudo
tyrants had lost their power, and hav-
ing learned thing or two, the little
ones only played on. Finally the nurse
was sent. Come in.'' she said, "and you
may go down town with papa" The
unusual promise attracted them, play
things fell and toddling feet fastened
into the nursery. No sooner in than
screaming was heard, where's my
papa?" and while papa was vainly en-
deavoring to get out of sight, these two
injured beings were rolling and kicking
as only ungoverned ones can do Such
keen disappointments are rare in ma
ture life, and it is safe to say that every
such reason leaves it's ineradicable scar
on the character.
Episodes of this nature are not met
with every day. They curse all con-
cerned, and yet how few recognize the
fact that even the most affectionate par
ents, in their ignorance on these vital
topics, lay the foundation of conduct
| that may hereafter bring reproach and
shame
Let us think of the injustice we so
unwittingly do! Let us rouse ourselves
to be strong in the right, that as far as
in us lies we may counterfeit any ill-be-
ing handed down from the past.
