The sixth grade seems to have
become quite popular during the
past week. In fact, SO much SO,
that a large number Of seventh
grade pupils have %emigrated to
that grade. Later-the influx has
reached such alarming proportions
that a stop has been called.
W. we're very sorry to hear Of
the death of Rosa Daudlin, whose
death was caused by burns re-
ceived from the explosion Of a
lamp. We hope it will not be- our
painful duty to record any more
happenings of this kind from this
grade. Rosa was held in high es-
timation by all her fellow pupils,
and was a studious and we'll be-
haved pupil.

Odds and Ends.

At a recent meeting Of the
board Of education a resolution
was passed that any pupil having
three unexcused absences during
a month or five during a term is
liable to suspension. A tardy
mark is equal to a half days
absence, This rule is in effect in
all the larger cities, many places
having it two instead of three un-
excused absences to suspend a
pupil. All of the scholars Of our
school should try and e if they
can go through the term without a
suspension.
The teachers who spent the
holidays at their homes outside of
this city we're Miss Grams, at
Grand Forks; Miss Pope, st. Paul;
Miss Spencer, Minneapolis, and
Miss Carhart at Mayville. They
all reported an enjoyable vacation.
The tenth grade completed the
course in Algebra, everyone pass
ing the examination. The class
feel very proud of their record and
should now make a desperate
effort to overtake the 18th grade,
in Geometry. They completed
Algebra in a year and a half.
Miss Grams should keep the
young ladies Of her room after
school until they could learn to 60

that the boys do.

The Meaning of the Thistle.

The Meaning of the Thistle.
Do you know why the thistle is
the national flower in Scotland?
The story is a pretty one, and very
characteristic of the Scotch. It is
said that centuries ago the Danes
we're making an inroad into Scot
land. They we're advancing eau
tiously at night. But, unfortu-
nately, they we're barefoot. They
had got close to the Scotch camp,
when one of the men at the head
of their column stepped on a
thistle. Did you ever put down
your foot squarely upon a real
Scotch thistle? If you have, you
will not be surprised to hear that
man gave a scream Of pain. His
scream awakened the Scotch.
They sprang up, perceived their
enemies, fell upon them and de-
feated them. And the brave little
thistle was made the Scotch flower.

It is not a widely known fact
that Miss Mary Cairns is a most
accomplished mandolin artist, but
the startling discovery has been

grain, they have large herds OF
cattle and focks Of sheep, they
feed on the prairies.

Physical geography is a new
study that will be taken up by a
few Of the pupils this term.
The holidays are over, and every
body seems inclined to get down
to work again with more zeal than
ever, after their delightful vaca-

The eleventh and twelfth grades
passed a very creditable examina-

have taken up the study Of botany
for this term.
The skating rink seems to have
become a very popular institution
with Jul young people, and is
receiving a liberal patronage from
them.
Among the teachers who at
tended the educational meeting at

DUBLIN. July 3.-Now that the season
is at its height. and certain established
summer styles have become common prop
erty. the demand for something new or n
new application Of old ideas is eagerly
sought for by the leading dressmakers and

clientele. Fashion has never been more
liberal than at present and. provided her

Tucks which encircie the figure In hori

Side Saddle Riding,

II has been frequently asserted, by Stow
and others. that the custom of riding side
saddles was introduced among ladies in
England in 1883 by Ann9 of Bohemia,
Queen OF Richard H. but tbs is incorrect
There Is still extant an English seal of
Joanna de Stuteville belonging to the year
1927. in which that lady is represented
seated sideways on horseback. And Fair
holt, in his Ancient Carriages" has
shown that this method of riding was prac-
ticed among Anglo-Saxton ladies in Eng
land long before. He gives a copy of
picture in an Anglo Saxton manuscript. in
which a lady is represented riding on a
side saddle. It is quite possible that Anne
of Bohemia was the first to make this
method fashionable among ladies OF that
country. although it certainly was known
before her time. The custom may have
arisen from the practice of ladies riding
pillion-fashion behind men; or 1t may be
that some lady of another land las recorded
in Remains Concerning Britain, 1919
first taught English women to ride on
side saddles. when. as heretofore. the
rode astride.' In any case, the fact is
mentioned by another old historian. who
says: Likewise. noble ladies used high
heads and corsets. and robes with long
trains, and seats on side saddles Oh their
