Hob School commencement.

appropriately decorated by the
members of the class of 1901. Over
the chancel amidst an adornment of
evergreens was inscribed "Class of

the church was an appropriate and
convenient arrangement. This en-

shell, such as we sell regularly at 40c
each, to every married lady in the
United States who writes for it,
There is nothing to pay. The gift is

ask FOR it them selves. We give choice
of any of our 40c designes, and will
send Illustrations from which selec-
tion may be made. Our object is to
advertise Quaker Valley silverware.
We believe the most effective way of

homes of the people. Ladies, please
write to-day. State that it is your
first request for one of our souvenir
gifts. Quaker Valley Mfg. Co., Nor
gan and Harrison Sts., Chicago.

From the Ellsworth Record.
In Years Gone By.
River Falls, June 4, 1900

River Falls, June 4, 1900.
Editor of the Record;
In my round tri p to Ellsworth the
other day, from u to 2:45 O'Clock,
aside from hatful of errands had
half hour or more to spare, and en-
deayored to inspect both Ellsworths
with eyes wide open. l had my home
here for time when it was new
county seat, in 1861 to 1864. The
county set up business here right in
the woods before the place was ever
named or had post office. You may
be sure that the contrast between
that wilderness, of long ago and the
beautiful town of to-day, situated on
the same ground, so eminent in evil
dence of thrift and modern advance
ment aroused in my reflections good
deal of right-down admiration and
when you accosted me as Mr.. S, of
River Falls, stating that you were Mr..
S, of that other Ellsworth paper, it
caught me in a reminiscent revery;
lonely in the midst of busy chatter
ing throng, reyeling in memories of
the past.
l remember Uncle Huddleston
whom you say is quite bright and cap
able now, at 90, kind, genial and
patriarchal; long may he live. His
pioneer house and barn in the expect
ancy stood right over yonder southeast
of the depot. "Uncle Hud" built that
first log court house just over south
of the basket factory. l remember
tipping over one night in the cutter
right over there below Huddleston's
and wife was scared into fits thinking
we had killed the baby, but baby did
not care enough to wake up and in
quire. Stumps were Ia the ascendent
then.
l remember helping to get dead
man out of the snow just over north:
west of the depot. Two bottles testi-
fed.
Now for the name and post Office.
We were discussing several eligible
names for the post Office and place of
course, when a serious fatal tragedy
occurred near Washington which sug-
gested new name and decided our
choice at once. IT was the shooting
of Col. Ellsworth, at Alexandria, Va,
on the oath OF May, 1861, by rebel
landlord, who in turn was himself |
shot dead the next minute Out OF
the hate of a rebel your beautiful
town inherited what / have always |
thought a most beautiful and handy |
name and memento, too, of trouble |
and courageous patriotism,

Commencement at Prescott.

Editor Journal.
As the local paper, presumably from
lack of space, omitted any mention
Whatever, critical, commendatory, or
otherwise of the High School Com
mencement exercises, occurring here
June /, in behalf of the school pa
irons, faculty, and members of the
class we beg little space in our lead
ing county paper for brief resume
of the same.
The exercises were held in the large,
new Opera House which was filed TO
the outer doors. The graduates.
seven in all, were seated upon the
stage together with the principal and
assistant principal and two Of the
resident clergy.
Mr.. Ralph Miles, the opening speak
err, spoke of TRUSTS" depicting the
dangers present and prospective of
this giant evil and suggesting as
remedial measures, special legislation
and closer governmental inspection.
Mr.. Miles topic was clearly presented,
in forceful, pleasing way with APP
propriate gestures in harmony with
his theme.
Miss Laura Schwab read carefully
prepared paper on the "Dreyfus
Affair." concisely outlining the dark
pages of Frances recent political
history which have made her noto-
rious throughout the world.
Miss Nora Corcoran labored under
the disadvantage of presenting to an
unsympathizlng audience the dis
tasteful subject, "a Eulogy of Bene-
diet Arnold" Miss Corcoran spoke
of the courage, military service and
devotion to country shown by the
great traitor during the early history
of the colonies, and plead as extenuat-
ing causes, peculiar surroundings and
conditions. Her manner was easy
and graceful and her voice distinctly
audible to all persons in the building.
Miss Alice Glendenning in well
written essay, reviewed the life of the
celebrated army nurse, Clara Barton.
Miss Glendenning has we'll modulat-
ed voice and very pleasing manner ana
her paper received close attention
from the first.
Opposing Miss Corcoran Miss Edith
Pea sley delivered an invective against
Arnold in which the arch traitor was
held up to deserved scorn and con-
tumely. A sympathetic audience
loudly demonstrated approval.
Graduate, and Then, IAN essay by
Miss Laura Steinke disclosed much
original, careful thought pleasingly
presented.
The exercises were closed by we'll
delivered Grafton on Forces Of Ma
ture," by Mr.. Arthur Mason.
Principal McLean's final address to
his class displayed deep feeling and
an earnest interest In the welfare of
each of the young people whose moral
and educational growth he has been
carefully directing during the past
two years. The harmony that has
ever existed between principal and
pupils has been no unimportant fac
tor in the successful termination of
the high school course. ~
