month OF ripened fruit and grain.
each containing in itself the germ Of
Others yet to be, and with proper
conditions will produce another har-
vest. September is also the begin
ming Of another seed time, the seed
time in the realm OF mind. 1t is the.
month in which the schools generally
open, and children's feet again
tramp the grass in the school house
yard, after the long summer vaca-
ton. September has a charm that
no other month has. With what
hope and expectancy do not the lit
tie ones scamper off to school the
first day! Teachers, do not let them
be disappointed! You have indeed a
grand and important work. To
fashion human lives, to give an i'm
print for eternity is a work to which
the highest, truest and best part of
your natures should respond with a
feeling OF reverence and love. The
young tender plants are left to your
watchful care, and a great deal de-
ponds upon you as to what the har-
vest shall be. May it be a crop OF
good, useful God-fearing men and
women. That is what we need in
Marshall county and everywhere.
Let parents take interest in the
schools, visit them as often as they
can, and encourage the teachers in
their work. If this be done, Marshall
county will soon be as noted for her
schools as for her No. 1 hard wheat.

Crops and the Weather.

The Red River valley, and Marshall
county especially, has been favored
with the most glorious weather since
threshing began. We have had no
rain, while in the central and south
ern part of the state it has rained al
most daily. The wheat already
threshed is therefore in good condi-
ton, looks fine and grades high-No.
1 Hard and No. 1 Northern. Fur
ther report from the threshers con-
firm what has previously been stated
in the SHEAF as to the unevenness OF
the crop. Yields as low as 8 and 10
bushels per acre are reported. yields
of II to Is bushels are quite COM
mon, and many report 1925 and
some even 80 bushels per acre. The
yield of late sown grain is a disap-
pointment, and much lighter than
the heavy straw would indicate.

A Teachers Value to the Public.

"What the teacher is, counts for
much more than what she knows. A
love of children, unlimited tact, and
infinite patience are the necessary
natural endowments," writes Caroline
B. LIE Row in the September Ladies'
Home Journal. ''Of course, the
ability to teach implies the possession
of an education, though no amount of
education alone can make a good
teacher. While all teachers must
know more than they teach, the
power to impart to others is the i'm
portant matter, and the one in which
tact or ingenuity is absolutely the
prime requisite. Moreover, she
should be personally social, intel
lectual, and moral force in the CON-
munity. The physician and the cler-
gyman have immense opportunities
for this uplifting of humanity, yet
their advantages are small when COM
pared with those of the teacher, which
are practically unlimited. Encour-
agement and satisfaction in this field
of labor never can be dependent up
on results, for it is seldom that the
teacher is permitted to. know what the
years of maturity owe to faithful care
of the youthful days. The teachers
time is always one of seed sowing and
of harvest.

INSPECTION trouble is here as usual.
Grading is being done on political
lines as much as ever-so it is alleged
in our hearing. A car of wheat, say,
comes to Duluth, and the shipper is
informed it goes No. 2 northern, II
pounds dockage. He is warm-he
knows it is No. Insists on his
rights Very we'll: after due bicker-
ing and dickering it is conceded that
it may pass as No. l northern but
dockage will have to be advanced to
81 pounds. So the compromise is
made a dirt basis u Red River

The grain commission men OF Min
neapolis have brought test case to
ascertain the constitutionality Of
Senator Grindeland's law requiring
them to take out a license and give
bonds for the protection OF those do
ing business with them. The case
will probably be considered by the
Supreme Court some time in October.
This law was passed for the sole pur-
pose Of protecting the shipper Of
grain and farm produce, and in ship
ping grain farmers will act for their
own interest if they ship only to such
firms as have complied with the law
in all respects.

he took lately to the Pine Greek
country in the northwestern part OF
Roseau county, and in Manitaba, in
company with Deputy Collector j. A.
Noyes, says that one Of the discour-

country, wherever the soil is at all
sandy, is the prevalence Of leas. 1t
is said that on the sand ridges the
pest is SO abundant that in picking
up a shovel full OF sand, one half of it
will hop away.

NEW YORK, Dec. 26.-Church ser.
vices, feasting, matinees, ana happiness
generally were the features of the cele.
bration Of Christmas in this city. AT
Madison Square Garden the Salvation
Army people had made provision foi
feeding 10000 people. At least hall
again that number appeared, and the

authorities. The newsboys came in fol
their share of good things at Brace

The Sunday schools had trees and fes.
tivities either at day or night. 1t wa.
reported by the railroads that the out-of.
town travel on Saturday was unprece
dented and the incoming traffic OF

great. AT most of the churches in the
city there were elaborate musical pro
grammes, and there was a large attend
ance at all of the services.

LONDON, Dec. $3.50 q. m.--The

deaths and wounds as well as accounts
of sickness, The most serious report of
the last class is that horse sickness has
broken our in both Bri tish and Boei
camps in Natal3 saA.
A dispatch from Ohieveley, dated
Tuesday. Dec. 10, says:
"The British naval guns have de.
stroyed the Colenso foot bridge, thus
preventing the Beers holding any posi-
ton south of the Tugela river. The
enemy are taking up fresh positions on
the eastern side, nearer the British
camp.
"The British position at Irereis being
strengthened. The Tugela river is rising
and there is prospect Of heavy rains.
ga two-hour bombardment of Lady.
smith has been heard from here. Ac.
cording to reliable native reports the
Beers had 200 killed in the fight at Co.

The news that Oolenso foot bridge
has been destroyed seems to show that
General Butler is more anxious to keep
the enemy at bay than to attempt>a
further advance.
Despite the severity of the censorship
hints are being continually received OF
the serious spread Of Dutch disaffection
in both the Queenstown district of Cape
Colony and Natal. A correspondent OF

LONDON, Dec. 26.--For the first time
in 13 years Queen Victoria and the
royal family passed Christmas day at
Windsor. The Duke and Duchess of
Connaught and the children of Princess
Henry OF BatteAburg were of the
party.
1t was her express desire that the
grandchildren who assembled about
her should not have their Christmas
niarred by the events which have sad
dened her own heart. and the festivi-
ties at Windsor castle, though tinged
with sadness, many stated, carried nc
suggestion of sorrow to the children
who gladened the queens presence with
the solace she is always able to find in
the companionship of her youngest de-
scendants.

GREAT WORK OF CHARITY.
War Department Figures Tell Extent of
Relief to Storm Stricken
Puerto dicons.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-The war de-
partnent made public q statement
showing the progress made in relief
work in the island of Puerto Rico be.
tween Sept. % and Nov. 80, 1899. The
population of the island is estimated at
9l8,926. The average daily INDECENT
was 22l ,0S7 persons; average weekly
sick, 1881, and the average weekly
Deaths 632 persons. The annual death
rate was 35 per 1000 inhabitants, while
the normal rate of deaths was rs per
1000.
It is believed that until February
next the demand for assistance is likely
to increase in the mountain districts,
as the dlantains and bananas will not be
ripe for two months to come. The
greatest distress prevails in q locality
where the greatest difficulty is found in
getting food to the starving.
The worst area contains a population
Of about $50, 900, and not wagon road
is to be found in any direction over
which food can be transported. All
food is carried on the backs of horses.
OF this population 100000 people must
be fed or they will starve. If not fed
at home they will migrate to the cities,
leaving the weak to die.
Pestilence, which frequently follows
flood and famine, has appeared among
the unfortunate inhabitants in the
mountain districts. and a number OF
people have perished. It is feared tina,
the epidemic will spread to the coast
should there be general movement OF
the mountain people in that direction
| A movement of this kind has already
been anticipated, and is being success
fully controlled. But the relief must bt
continued freely in the mountain dis
tricts for all of December and during the
greater part of January, 1t is esti
mated that not less than 1000 addi
tional tons of food will be required
The amount of cash received for the re
lief of the suffering people of the islant
up to Nov. 80 was $15,224, The amount
of money disbursed up TO the date men
toned was $7,4l7.
Up to Nov. 30 the total amount oi
food received was II, 1862, 1888 pounds. Oi
this amount 16,548,516 pounds had beer
issued up to Nov. 30. The amount o
unissued food on hand at San Juan OF
Nov. 30 was 614,272 pounds.

In every city and large town in the
United States the Sister of Charity has
become a familiar object. The Catholic !
Sisters-sweet messengers of charity,
ceaseless and indefatigable in their
labors-move quietly and swiftly in and
out among the people, receiving, dis
pensing, assisting and comforting.
Neither heat nor cold, fatigue or danger,
deter them from their errands of mercy.
They are to be found in palace and
hovel; in the boulevard and brothel.
Nothing daunts them. Nothing dis
courages them. Vast institutions Of
refuge for the homeless and hopeless
have arisen in every city by their tire
less labors.
By no means the least service they
render helpless humanity is their dis
pensation Of medicine. Their experience
among the sick, and their anxiety to be
of assistance to them, soon lead them to
know the most efficient and safe reme-
dies. 1t would be impossible that so
popular and valuable q remedy as Pc
ru-na could have escaped their atten-
tion. Many letters have been received
from institutions of this kind praising
the benefit that Pe-ru-na has been to
them.

Wis, says: 81 want to tell you that 1
