Postponed.

Tail counties set for July 25 26 and q,
respectively. have been indefinitely post
poned by the state auditor. Mr.. Dunn
believes that because of the uncertain
crop conditions a sale at that time would
be improbable to farmers. Their hold
ings could not be increased and the profit
of the sales would go entirely to the
spectators. Heretofore the state land
sales have been in the timbered regions,
not affected by the crop conditions. but
this year the land to be disposed of is on
the prairie, and many farmers have been
looking forward to the, sale as an ex-
cellent opportunity for them@to enlarge
their farms. This would be manifestly
impossible at this time of drought and
grasshOpper scares. -.--ll..

1.-THE nation owes debt of profound
gratitude to the soldiers and sailors who
have fought its battles, and it is the gov
ernment's duty to provide for the sur
vivors and for the widows and orphans
of those who have fallen in the country S
wars. The pension. laws. founded in this
just sentiment, should be liberal, and
should be literally administered and
preference should be given wherever
practicable with respect to employment
in the public service to soldiers and sail
ors and to their widows and orphans.

SarqentviI!e's Historic House.

The house now owned and occupied by
tcuel j. Dority. Sargentville, has
somewhat remarkable history. 1t was
originally the first schoolhouse erected in
district No. s. Sargentville, and but few
people are living who ever attended
school IN it. When it became inadequate
for this purpose, a new schoOlhOuse was
built and Deacon Samuel Billings pur-
chased the old building and moved it
from It's original site close by where Jo-
seph HOoper's house now stands TO Bill
inSs' Corner, a distance Of about three
fourths Of a mile and converted it into
a carpenters shop. After time 1t was
moved short distance up the Brooks
Vile road and placed on or near the
present site Of Mrs. r. H. Sinclair's
house.
The building was afterward purchased
by William II. Sargent. who moved it
about half mile and located it on what
is now the site of Jasper y. Sargents
store. 1t was here used by its owner as
4 shoemaker's shop. From this place it
was moved across the street and fitted
up as a dwelling and was occupied by
different families in succession.
The ancient building, however, was not
destined to end its days on this spot and
about Is years ago it once more resumed
its wanderings and travelled down the
hill and came to A standstill opposite w
G. Sargent & Sons store. Ii was the in
tenton at this time TO use 1t as a furni-
ture store. but it was purchased by Mrs.
Mary MilIiken for a dwelling and by her
sold to Mr.. Dority its present owner.
Changes have been made by its various
owners and it is now a neat cottage in
excellent repair and looks able to with
stand several more journeys Probably
few buildings have stood in six different
localities and been used for nearly as
many different purposes.

Bishop Goldman then sketched the
history of the Episcopal church from
the days Of Magma Charta back to the
medieval period. He argued that the
church existed before Magma Charta
because that document states that the
church of England should maintain its
visionary liberties. He explained that
many people thought that the church
came into existence at the time Of
Henry VIII. but that it had been the
same before his time. The only differ
ence was that it's services were said
In English instead of in Latin. At the
time of the Reformation the church
was not changed; it was simply
