and palms which presented a striking
appearance against the colored glass
windows and other decorations. Miss
Edna S. Buck presided at the organ,
and after a voluntary by her the exer-
cises were begun with prayer by Rev.

dainty white dresses and with smiling
faces, entertained the audience in the

only by the absence of Principal Burns,
who was called TO his home i'll Mary
land by the death of his sister. His
absence was deeply regretted by the
pupils of the school and the community.

Burritt, was reproduced
knowledge cannot be stolen from
us. 1t cannot he bought 0 L sold. We
may be poor, and the sheriff may come
and sell our furniture, or drive away
our COW, OF take Our pet lamb, aud
leave us homeless and penniless, but he
cannot lay the laws hand upon the
jeWelry OF Il minds"
