of rulers who preceded them lived in
some other part OF the city. 1t seems
that Amran, as the Arabs call another
mound here, is the most likely spot
for it alone of all the mounds is high
enough to hold the ruins which we
have right to expect On the surface
is layer Of graves of late date, but
of what is beneath we know nothing
at all. LIS hill is to be the next point
of attack, and we shall work with even
a larger force than hitherto. In the
course Of the excavations various frag-
ments of cylinders have been found,
as well as statues OF different Baby
lonian deities. After searching for
the palace of Nebuchadnezzar beyond
the east canal the rest of the mounds
will be eXcavated"

breeding Belgian hares. The.
prices which they bring at present
is temptation for many individ-
uals to engage in breeding them
and herein lies the danger that
the business will be speedily over
done. A lesson should be learned
from the experience Of Australia,
where in less than 30 years after
were introduced, more than
lOO,OOO,0OO acres were infested by
them and vast tracks were turned
into deserts by their ravages. It
is to be hoped that. the breeding
of these animals may not be
carried to such an excess in this
country as to bring about q like

Here is the latest fish story Of q
man who is too stingy to take his

not enacted q very great way from

little boy to borrow the copy taken
by his neighbor. In his haste the
boy run over q 81 stand of bees
and in ten minutes looked like a
warty summer squash. His cries
reached his father who ran in
haste to his assistance and failing
to notice a barbed wire fence, ran
into It breaking it down and cut
ting q handful Of flesh from his
anatomy, and running a 81 pair OF
pants. The old cow took advan-
tage of the gap in the, fence and
got into the corn field, and killed
herself on green corn. Hearing the
racket, the wife ran out, upsetting
a. four gallon churn Of rich cream
into a basket Of kittens drowning
the whole flock. ,In4the hurry she
dropped a 81 set of false teeth

Educational Association.

The regular meeting of the
Ramsey County Educational
association was held in the
hall Of the Devils Lake
High school on Saturday afternoon
June l6, at 2 O'Clock. The meet
ing was called to order by the
president, Mr.. Hesla, and opened
with singing.
Prof. Haig continued his talk
on "The Recitation" taking up
the exciting of interest in the
subject and cultivating a love for
study in the pupil. The point
was also made that the recitation
is the place in which to make
corrections and that a mistake
there should never be allowed to
pass unnoticed. The next was a
we'll written review of Pages
lecture on the Rewards of the
Teacher" by Miss Iva Wanless.
It was clearly shown that the re.
wards Of the teacher do not lie in
money getting so much as in the
consciousness Of moral and intel.
lectual growth, of having a useful
and honorable calling, in the
gratitude Of pupils and friends,
and in the approval Of Heaven in
aiding our boys and girls to be
good and respected citizens of this
great republic.
Mr.. T. w. Hoover, accompanied
by Miss Ethel Thompson, rendered
