A NEW law provides that street
commissioners and overseers of the
highways shall cut and destroy all
weeds and grass growing upon the
highways or streets within their re-
spective districts. The cutting and
destruction of grass and weeds as
above stated must be done not
earlier than July 18th, nor later
than September 1st, of each year.
Any overseer OF highways or street
commissioner who refuses or neglects
to perform any OF the duties pre-
scribed by this act is subject to a
forfeiture of $40 for each refusal or
neglect. The object OF the law is
evidently to make sure that no
noxious weeds will be permitted to
go to seed along the public high

everything would work itself out for
the best in the near future and that
our occupation of the Philippines
would be of advantage to all parties
interested. The applause at the close
demonstrated that the audience were
with him. @
Helen Cross, Flossy Brown, Eddie
Whitney and Clyde Chaplin were next
on the program and rendered in a
very pleasing manner a "Sea Song"
To Charles f. johnson fell the lot
of giving the final oration. He
chose as his subject, Getting on in
the world" and his address through
out showed much thought and stu
dy. His delivery was fine and he
commanded the careful attention of
his audience. He believes that "men
are able because they seem to be
able," and that perseverance with
fixed determination will overcome
most of the difficulties of this world.
The address of Hon. j. Adam
Bede followed and he spoke for half
an hour along the general lines OF
education. He was heartily ap-
plauded through his talk, which was
replete with eloquence, wit and
logic. Mr.. Bede is one OF the most
pleasing speakers who ever came to
Warren. After a few remarks on
the growth of the school by the
superintendent, DR.. G.. S. Wattam,
the president OF the Board OF Educa-
tion, presented the diplomas. He
took occasion to compliment the
class upon their graduation, to ex-
press the hope that some would con-
tinue their work in higher institu-
tions and to assure them of the
friendly interest of the board in
their future success. A double quar-
tette closed the evenings exercises.

as he waited for the others to settle

Only one man remained by the

"My little girl' said the man for
the third time, in hurt tone, but
with a fine determination, lis so cute
and says such unexpected things
that we sometimes wonder if it is
good for her to be so bright. I
don't think we are at all prejudiced

she is the smartestN child for her age

The man with the lame foot nod
ded, as if the statement were similar
to others he had heard. ..s.-. '...
"Why, do you know" continued
the man, 'that only this morning as
she was studying her lessons, which
she is slow about learning, as all
bright children are, she laid aside
her book with an air Of having had
enough of it, and, turning to her
mother, she said: Say, mamma,
why isn't children born educated?'
Now, what do you think Of that?"
and the man with a lame foot
laughed right out and asked how

GRADUATION EXERCISES
OF WARREN HIGH SCHOOL

: The class of 1899 of the Warren
State High School, consisting of two
young men and one young lady,
graduated last Friday evening under
particularly pleasing and auspicious
circumstances. The exercises were
held in the Opera house, and the
large room was packed to it's fullest
capacity many were unable~to gain
admittance and remained standing in
the doorway throughout the entire
exercises. That occasions of this sort
arouse such universal interest speaks
we'll for the character and intelligence
of this community and demonstrates
more forcibly than words the pride
the public takes in our schools.
The exercises passed off without a
hitch and were of a very entertaining
and instructive character. The stage
had been especially fitted up with
potted plants for the occasion, the
hall was beautifully decorated with
flags and bunting and an arch had
been arranged with a welcome to
the class. An inspiring and pleasing
picture was the result.
Promptly at 8 o'clock the members
of the various choruses marched in
and seated themselves in semi-circle
on the stage, followed by the gradu-
ating class, the teachers and the
members of the school board. Occu-
pying seats on the platform also were
the speaker of the evening, Hon. J.
Adam Bede, and Rev. Thomas Clark.
Following the invocation the first
number on the program was Ladies'
trio, "Annie LAURIE" which was rem
dered by Grace Chaplin, Letia Cross
and Irene Jerrue. Next came an es-
say by member of the graduating
class, Villa E. Wallace, and she chose
for her subject the "Sack of Troy"
In a very entertaining manner did
she trace the battles of those old
Greek heroes about the city and tell
the story of its final destruction. Miss
Wallace delivered her essay in clear,
distinct voice and acquitted herself
with great credit. y
Maude Wees then rendered in her,
usual charming manner:a piano solo,
and so captivated the audience that
she was heartily encored. Edward
Bennewitz, the second member of the
class, followed with an grafton on the
subject, ''Is Our Country RightY'
He traced the history of the expan-
sion of the United States from the
original thirteen states to the present
time and showed that there had al
ways been pessimists who believed
that the country was just on the verge
Of destruction. He took the hopeful
view OF expansion and believed that
