upon his handling of Chinese witnesses,

tion is Il Wit and really deserved it.
His styie oeEiu he less successfully
transferred to the stage, as his efforts
at comic writing showed, but in its
spontaneous phases its effect always
told. One Of the stories told was about
his experiences with Nine. Modjeska,
with whom he acted for. several years.
He had been as careless as he often
was on the stage, and Nine. Modjeska,
with all the conscientiousness Of a
great artist, protested that he had no
right to take his calling so lightly and
that il he did not owe it to his reputa-
tion.to do his best he at least owed it to
her, because she had done so much in
his behalf and had put him before the
public in a dignifed and serious line Of

Budget.

The origin of the word budget"
meaning an estimate of government
revenues and expenses. is thus explain
ed:
Almost from time immemorial it was
the custom in England to put the esti-
mates Of receipts and expenditures pre-
sented to parliament in a leather bag,
the word budget being thus borrowed
from the old Norman word bougette,
which signifies a leather purse. Curl
ously enough. the word has passed back
again into France from England.-New

Dosing an Elephant.

A difficult operation was performed
the other day at the geological gardens
at Hanover. An elephant was suffer-
ing great pain from a growth on the
lower part Of one Of its hind feet. and
1t was deemed necessary to cut this
malformation away. In order to rem
der the animal insensible a dose of 600
grains OF morphia in six bottles of rum
was administered. This dose took
about an hour before any visible effect
was produced. The elephant then fell
over in a kind Of sleep. and the opera
ton was successfully carried u with
out any further ado. The operation
lasted in all three days.-London Globe.

Are women better than men ! This
is a question that E. S. Martin asks
and answers in an article entitled.
Women" in Mcclure magazine for
June. No better, only different or
if better. merely in a negative fash
ion. They drink less, smoke less
and certain of their emotions are
less strong than corresponding
emotions in men. Women r what
men make them, and while men are
appreciably far from perfection,

sented, and what is worse, expected

The G~raduatiOn.

The exercises for the graduation
of the Grammar Department took
place, Friday evening, at the Chris
tan church to a crowded house.
The scene was an impressive one
when the pupils filed in and took
their places on the stage. accompa-
MED by their teacher, Miss Clara
Powell, and Principal of the school,
]. L. Conger. The rostrum was
beautifully decorated with ported
plants and the colors of the class.
The class all showed the training
they had received and bore them
selves in a gentleman and ladylike
manner, that marks the course of
education. The various pieces select
ed for them were delivered in a
manner that showed a comprehen-
sive knowledge of the sentiment ex-
pressed. Each pupil is deserving
of special mention so we'll did he or
she perform their task. Not only
we're the parents, teachers and
board proud of their work but the
whole audience seemed elated that
the young people had progressed
SO nicely in their work. After the
class had finished Miss Powell pre-.
sented the class to the school board
and Otto Witthauer, as president OF
the board, in a neat address told
them the interest the board had felt,
the pride in the work accomplished
and then of their future work, how
they would be watched and their
conduct taken as an index to their
character, and ended by presenting
them with a diploma.

Gently from Pennsylvania, where he

The North western Store.

The TIMES desires to call especial
attention to the advertisement OF the
Northwestern Store, of Ashland,
which appears in this issue, and
voluntarily to commend that store
to it's readers. 1t is perhaps the
most complete and up-to-date dry
goods store on Chequamegon bay.
It has bargains for it's customers
every week, and Mr.. Loranger, the
proprietor, and the manager, Mr..
Hoffman, both being wide awake bust
ness men, believe in letting the
people know what they have OF in
terest to them. AS consequence
they use, literally, printers ink, and
in every issue of the Washburn news
papers, the advertisement OF the
Northwestern store appears, usually
freshly written and interesting.
While the. home people and merchants
are entitled to patronage still If the
Northwestern store is continually
inviting you to patronage them
through the columns of the Wash
burn papers and the Washburn
merchants are closed up like CLANS,
then you are certainly at liberty to
feel like accepting an invitation that
is so cordial. Look over what the
Northwestern store has to say in
this issue, and you may be led to
feel that it will pay you to visit their
store.

A Great Success.

The first of the series of parents
Meetings" to be held in connection
with the public school work came off
at the Walker High School last Fri
day evening, and was an entire sue
cess. Between eighty and hundred
parents and other visitors were at
the meeting, and the teachers were
all there. Prof. d. E. Cameron pre-
sided at the meeting and outlined
what it was expected might be ac
complished, Miss Cornish, one Of
teachers read very valuable paper,
and this was discussed by Mr.. Nc
Claiche, another one of the teachers,
and by Mrs. @. w. Frost, as one of
the parents. In the discussion it
was brought out during the evening
that there are between 100 and $50
children in the city of school age who
are DOT attending any school, or
Oelng PROVIDED with educational ad
vantages. 1t is expected that the
meetings, the next of which is to be
held Friday night of this week will
take this matter up, and see what
measures can be taken to get these
children into the schools. The visit
ors at the school building found all
the rooms open for inspection, and
the decorations by tha teachers were
very favorably commented upon. It
was left with Professor Cameron to
name committee of parents and
teachers whose duty it will be to
provide for the program for the next
meeting.
