well attended and a very successful

supper was quite interesting, it being
made more so by the recitations of
the three little children of Mr.. and
Mrs. Cooke Rhea.
Earl Mowry left on Mondays stage

to find a suitable location if possible

George S. Adams, the optician, ex-

surrounding country and fit the peo-
pie with glasses. Mr.. Adams has had
splendid success while here and de-
serves a liberal patronage.
The meeting of the Literary Society
Saturday night was not very well at

interest in this society as a great
deal of instruction as well as social
pleasure could be derived from a
good strong organization.
The town council held a meeting
Monday night and passed an ordi-

day. If you don't get shaved on
Saturday, now, you will have to wear
your whiskers until Monday.

WESTERN HOSPITALITY.
A Party Of Astonisf:ed Chicagoans Were
Not Allowed to Pay a Hotel Bill,
Even When They Insisted

Not Allowed to Pay a Hotel Bill,
Even When They Insisted
On Doing So.
The presence in town, this week, of
A. H. Grow, one of the good citizens
of Battle Lake, that "City of the
Clouds" brings to mind a little Incl
lent which happened in that place
during the Press Association excur-
sion last September. MI. Grow was
on the committee on reception and
entertainment at that place, along
with almost every other prominent
man of that town. The editorial par
ty arrived about l o'clock p. m. and
were preparing to have dinner, when
another party of four or five persons,
composed of Chicago people out for
a good time and to see the mines, ar
rived, wanting dinner, so all hands
sat down to the hotel table and en-
joyed a hearty repast.
The ladies of Battle Lake were in
evidence and made things very pleas
ant for all hands and the Chicago
people felt that they had indeed fall
en- upon pleasant lines.
When the Chicago party went to
pay their bill they were referred to
the committee on entertainment, who
owned the hotel for the time being,
and they happened to strike Mr.. Grow,
to whom they proffered their money,
which was promptly refused. They
undertook to explain:
"But gentlemen" said Mr.. Crow,
"this is our treat and we don't want
your money, so put up your pocket
books"
"But we don't belong to the editor
ial excursion. We are "A separate par
ty and want to pay our bill"
at don't matter, whether you be-
long to the editorial excursion or not,
you are our guests and this dinner
has been paid for by the town and
that settles it."
Yes, but we don't want to ring in
on this excursion, you understand.
We want to pay Jul BILL" still hem
ming him in, with their pocket books
in hand and anxious to liquidate.
MI. Grow squared himself around
against the counter, resting his elbows
thereon behind him and faced the
crowd of insistent men before him
and said:
well, gentlemen, o CAN'T DO IT!'
1t was rather amusing to the on
lockers to e the expression hat
come over the faces of the visitors,
when they realized that here was one
place IN this green earth where they
could not pay. 1t vas their first taste
of real genuine western hospitality.

We are in receipt of Frank Carpenters
Geological Reader of South America"
which we have read with much pleasure.
The letters of Frank Carpenter, appear
ing in some of the leading newspapers,
have been enjoyed and digested by the
reading public. The value of these
sketches as supplemental to the study of
geography has been proved by the great
number of copies Of North America"
and "Asia" now in use in the schools.
The books have the value OF peculiarly
graphic illustrations reproduced from
photographs taken by the author. One,
touring with Carpenter, views MANY
places not visited by the geographer or
the sight-seer and finds enjoyment and
wonder in the many quaint and curious
customs of the people, their modes OF
life, civilization and industries. A climb
in the Andes, a jaunt over the broad
pampas of Argentina. a sail on the great
Amazon-will be tonic to the pupil after
he is wearied with the great mass of facts
usually set for his daily m~astication and
assimilation. The study of geography
assumes life and action when supple.
mented by such fascinating descriptions
as Carpenter-and Carpenter alone
gives. These descriptions are vivid and
exact, and la the merit, not often found
in books, of originality. Published by
American Book Co., Chicago.

Our State Superintendent is
urging boards of education of
City, town and rural schools to
appropriate a portion of the
school funds toward buying
good books for the children to
read. Again parents are urged
to see that their children are
prompt and regular in attend
ance, and that pupils in the
higher grades and High School
observe study hours at home
each evening during the school
weeks. 1t is the duty of the
teacher to see that each pupil
is engaged in actual school
work during the time the child
is at school, aud to give proper
instruction and direction for
home study, and it is the duty
of the parent to cooperate with
the teacher in everything that
promotes the best interest of
the school. Teaching school
is a business, attending school
is a business, and there is no
excus efor idleness carelessness,
and neglect of the work to be
done, on the part of any one
connected with this business.
The school room should be re-
garded as place for work
and each one should be suffi-
ciently Interested to do all in
his power to get the full beneht
of each days work. Parents
are urged to visit the school,
