during the school year just closed,
Several schools adopted free text
books, while nearly all schools having
free text books materially strengthen.
ed their libraries by the purchase of
new books. | am pleased to say that
our school boards realize now as thew
never have before that keeping a text
book library in proper state of eff
cheney requires an annual purchase of
books. Experience has shown that a
free text book library costs about
twenty-five cents for pupil each
year. Therefore every school in this
county having free text books should
spend annually for new books from
five to fifteen dollars, according to the
size of the school. This is very i'm
portant question in school admins
tration; for when the school board
takes upon itself the duty of supply
ing text books to the school, it takes
that duty from the parents who are
helpless when the school board fails to
properly supply the school with books.
Six hundred seventy-seven library
books were bought by common
school districts alone last year, which
is the largest annual purchase of books
made in this county during the past
ten years. The educational value of
our public school libraries cannot be
over estimated. There is no question
OF their popularity among our people.
Thirty-one districts have not yet taken
advantage OF the public school library.
trust this number may be materially
reduced during the coming year.
The work of improving our school
grounds is progressing. l commend
all efforts in this direction. Why should
not our school grounds be made beauty
spots, where children would delight to
be, instead of being treeleSs, i'll kept
and unsightly as they too often are?
This Office will in the near future
supply all teachers and school officers
with pamphlet containing the latest
ideas upon the subject of improving
school grounds, and school houses and
the heating and ventilating of the
same.
During the present summer districts
No. 81 and 81 have each built splendid
new school houses. Districts No SO
and IS are about to begin the erection
of new modern school buildings. The
independent district Of Raymond is
just completing at a cost 81 a little
more than $4,000 what will be one Of
the best school buildings in this Sec
tion of the state.
In this age Of progress, l am sure it
is the wish of all that Kandiyohi
county schools may keep pace with the
times, and be second to none.

WHY SHELLS:

1t is not surprising that there is
protest against putting down a shell
pavement on a portion of East Broad
street. 1t has not been so very long
since the City Council refused to re-
pair the shell pavement on CASTOR
street for the reason, If we are not
mistaken. that a shell pavement is not
only unsatisfactory in important par
ticulars, but is very costly. The first
cost is not of course as great as that
of brick, but the cost of keeping the
pavement in repair is heavy. OF
course the Savannah Electric Company
would in all probability, prefer to put
down a shell pavement, since it would
cost less than a brick one, but as the
city has to keep the pavement in re-
pair it would seem as If it would insist
upon brick pavement.
If the cost of keeping a shell pave
ment in repair is as great as 1t is I'M
derstood to be it would be cheaper in
the long run for the city to put down
the pavement itself, provided it used
brick. We do not know what the rea-
sons of the Street and Lane Committee
for reporting in favor of shells are.
The committee ought to make them
known, so that the public could discuss
them. They may be sufficient to sus-
tain the report, but we do not see how
they can be.
The repairing of Castor street with
shells was urged because the residents
of that street had paid for the paving
and the repairs were made
necessary by the action of the
city in putting down drainage pipes.
The position was taken that the resi-
dent property holders ought not to be
made to pay for a pavement of brick,
the city having ruined the shell pave
ment. The City Council, however was
so set against shells as a street paw
ing material that it would not consent
to repair the shell pavement
1t seems a little remarkable there
fore that the Street and Lane Com
mittee should now report in favor of
paving a portion of an important
street with shells

A LARRY" Jerome story.

A friend recently put this question
to District Attorney Jerome. whose
father. Lawrence Jerome. was a eel
ebrated wit of his day, and who was
generally spoken of among familiars
as Larry:
How many of these stories that
are attributed to yous father really
emanated from him, and how many
are fictitious?"
We'll" replied the district attor-
ney, II am not prepared to say;
some of them are undoubtedly man
ufactured but of the origin of one
1 am convinced, as 1 was one of the
principal actors. On a certain occas-
ion a good many years ago, when
l was little chap, 1 was riding on
my fathers knee in a Fifth avenue
stage, every other seat being taken.
AT corner a lady entered, and my
father said to me in severe tones:
Why, Travers. my boy, I am ashamed
of you! Why don't you get up and
give this lady your seat?

John e. Mllholland is trying to get
the federal government to purchase for
$50, 900 the ruins of old Fort Ticonder-
oga and restore it to the exact status
it bore when Ethan Allen demanded
its surrender. He formerly was editor
and proprietor of a Ticonderoga news
paper.
When Linley Sambourne, Punch's
chief cartoonist, was a draughtsman
at PENIS engineering works, his love
for practical joking was irrepressibIe.
There used to be a young French
draughtsman in the same office, and
one day Sammy" conceived the idea
of hooking down the French youths hat
and mailing it all around the rim firm
ly on the desk When lunch time ar
rived all but the French youth were
aware of the joke He took down a
hat off the pegs, placed it on his head
and walked out. 1t was Sambourne's
own hat he had nailed to the counter.
When looking at Lord Charles
Beresford's strong, vigorous frame it
is difficult to realize that he was once
a delicate lad and was sent to sea for
the sake of his health, says Tit-Bits.
He tells the story that when, in 1860,
he first set foot on board ship and was
making his way along the deck of H.
NJ. S. Marlborough to report himself,
he overheard a hluejack>% whisper to
another, Poor little chap; ne amt long

his dukedom, he has no fewer than five
earldoms, two marquisites, three Wis
counties and eight baronies-in all,
nineteen coronets. Contrasted with
the Duke of Somerset. who is second
on the docal roll, he is fortunate. for
the latter has but one other title be-
sides his dukedom. and that is one of
the lowest rank in the peerage. There
is no other duke in the United King
dom whose eldest sons title would be
only that of a baron. And yet the Duke
Of Somerset has only his Grace of

Secretary Moody has denied the re-
quest of a foreign naval attache at
Washington for permission to inspect
certain coaIng stations. In former
days, when the European Powers did
not regard the United States as being
much of fighting power. very little
attention was paid by them to the
American military establishment; but
since the Spanish war every European
country has sent to Washington one
or more of it's most accomplished mill
tary experts as attaches, and these
gentlemen have lately been very busy
gathering information and transmit
ting it to their home governments.
And so Secretaries Moody and Root
have concluded that it is time to pre-
serve secrecy respecting our offensive
and defensive preparations. We may
not be called upon to fight foreign
foe, but if we should it is not de-
sirable to have him know as much
about our defenses as we know our
selves.

In the heart of jungle miles away,
Where tiger and bear hold sway,
There's bit of monkey. old and
gray,
That sits in the sun all day
And spins wild yarns of a far-off
land
With its jungle-folk of another brand.
And the monkeys walking hand in
hand,
Soberly chant this lay:
"Hark to the tales that our father
tells,
OF the night he dined with the howl
ing swells.
OF the dash he cut with the jeweled
bellies,
Of the glitter and chatter and noise.
Guest at the table our father sat,
Dressed like them, with a white era
vat,
And under his chair a stovepipe hat!
Wouldn't that jar you, boys?''
The monkeys journey from far and
near
Such wonderful tales to hear.
Some of them wink, and some of them
sheer,
But mostly they laud and cheer:
For surely the monkey is truly great
Who lives to describe such a terrible
fate.
And warns his brothers before it's too
late
What they must shun and fear.
Hark to the song that the monkeys
sing
AS they solemnly walk in a jungle
ring;
Father wasn't content to swing
On the end of a banyan limb;
Father went roaming the world to
get
Some proper ideas of etiquette,
Father fell in with the swagger set
Look what they did TO him.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Norfolk Landmark (Dem) says

pline Gen. Anderson for contradicting
Admiral Dewey's version of the at
tack on Manila is made as If the de-
partment were acting with great self
repression and magnanimity. AS a
matter of fact, it is more than prob
able that Mr. Root doesn't prod ~e1n
Anderson because he 'dassent' prod
him.
The Montgomery Advertiser (Dem)
says: Referring to Mr.. Watterson's
assertion that Mr.. Cleveland found the
party a unit and left it a wreck, the
Louisville Post tersely remarks: Mr.
Cleveland not merely led the party to
victory, he put it in the path of flu
ture victory. by Matchmaking the party,

the proposition for the withdrawal of
the friars from the Philippines is
prompted by the fact that they are

take in assuming that the friars are
entirely blameless because they are
Catholics. PROFESSIONALLY these par
ticular friars have been at the bot
tom of much. if not most, of the trou-
BILE in the Philippines for years, and
no good can come to the church or to

Prayer for Pig and Preacher.

The versatile author the Rev. Sabine
Barring Gould, says IN. A. p" tells
many amusing anecdotes concerning
life in his little Cornish parish. An
old lady, one of Mr.. Gould's parishion-
ers, came to him one day and earnestly
besought him to come and see her"ow d
zow," which, she said, was very bad. y
The author of "Mehalah" protested,
and said that he could do the poor
animal no good, for he was a person.
not a veterinary surgeon. But the old
soul persisted that if he came and said
"a few words" over the pig it might
recover. To pacify her Mr.. Barring
Gould HE'D him to the pigsty, where
the old sow lay painting in the last
throes of death Entering the sty with
mock reverence he marched round the
pig, and in a sepulchral voice uttered
the words 20, pig, if thou liVest thou
livest, but. o pig, if thou diest thou
diest" And, strange to say, the pig
got better, much to the delight of the
old lady, who put implicit faith in the
efficacy of the few words the parson
uttered In after days the scene was
changed. Barring Gould lay on bed
of suffering nigh unto death. No one,
not even the members of his own fam
fly, were allowed to see him. An old
lady, having heard that the parson"
was i'll, and was not likely to recover
wished-nay, demanded-to see him.
Declaring that she could cure the per-
son." she pushed the servant aside. and
made her way to the room in which the
patient was lying. Her noisy entrance
disturbed him, but when she repeated,
With awful solemnity. 20 parson, if
thou Invest thou livest: but. o Darson
if thou diest thou diest!" he was re-
minded of the other occasion on which
the formula was used, and burst into
uncomfortable laughter, which broke"
the quincy. That is how. as Mr.. Bar
ing-Gould loves to say, he was saved

THAT INVITATION no MIR. BRYAN.

The mystery connected with the in
vitation that was sent to Mr.. Bryan
by the Tilden Club, to be present at
the celebration of the opening of It's
new quarters, has been cleared up. 1t
will be recalled that Mr.. Bryan said
that he never received it, and that
the secretary of the club stated that
he had the receipt for the registered
letter in which it was sent.
1t turns out that a clerk of Mr..
Bryan mislaid it, after having receipt
ed for the registered letter which
contained it. and then forgot about
it. But in his explanation Mr.. Bryan
makes 1t clear that he would not have
accepted it even if he had received
1t in time. He has no love for either
Mr. Cleveland or Mr.. Hill, and as
they were the star guests of the oc-
casion Mr.. Bryan felt that he would
be somewhat out of place.
A few days ago he took occasion to
express his opinion of Mr.. Hill. 1t
was a very free and full expression
and was not of a character to make
Mr.. Hill comfortable. In this expla-
natory letter to the Tilden Club he has
a few words to say in reference to
Mr.. Cleveland In fact he reads Mr..
Cleveland out of the Democratic party
that is, he attempts to do so. Among
other things he says when Mr.
Cleveland left the Democratic party
In 1896, 1 recognized his right to do
so, and did not criticise his decision.
He has never yet indicated an
intention to return to the Democratic
party, and his business interests are
such as to make his return improb-
able"
No doubt Mr.. Cleveland was very
much surprised to find from Mr.. Bry-
ans letter that he was no longer
connected with the Democratic party.
At the Tilden Club celebration he
spoke as if he thought he was still
a member of that party, and he was
greeted by those who were present as
the most eminent living Democrat.
Still Mr.. Bryan insists that he left the
party and never returned. Is Mr.
Bryan the best authority on this sub
ject? Is the man who was twice
beaten as the Democr ttic candidate
for the presidency qualified to pass
upon the question as to whether the
man who was twice elected Presi-
dent on the Democratic ticket is a
Democrat?
Mr.. Bryan is carrying his hostility
to Mr.. Cleveland and Mr.. Hill to such
lengths that Democrats will begin to
wonder whether he is capable of sac
fificing his personal feelings for the
good of his party-whether he is big
enough to bury his personal grieV
ances in order to promote the well
fare of his party. 1t is evident that
it win be difficult. if not impossible,
for Democrats to get together if
their leaders continue to quarrel.
