love are independent of luxury. The
rude comforts of a sod house were
enough for physical health, while the
changing mysterious beauty of prairie

The home stood on sloping ground,
half way between divide and creek

tinge of green on the willows by the
water was visible from the house door.

on the sumac gave prompt warning
of winters approach. The neighbors

baby came there was no thought Of

At 9:15 last evening the shadow
first began to cross the face of the
moon while it was yet in the south
eastern heavens. The eclipse was to-
tai at 1920, and the moon remained
dark until nearly midnight. There
was not any particular popularity
about the crossing shadow, the gen
eral effect being about the same as
of a medium heavy cloud but hun

Miss Alice Sawyer is teaching the
fall term of school at Boormans
school house.
Miss Palmer is teaching at Sedan
The Sedan trustees have added a
pelfry and otherwise improved the
school building.
The keys to the new school build
ing at Batavia have been turned over
to the trustees by the contractor, G.
w. burst. The building is a credit
to the district, and to the contractor.
A dance will be given at this school
house on Friday, the 24th, instant, to
raise money to pay for the bell, this
being the only incumbrance on the
lot and building.
To set good example to the young
and aid the cause of education, Bill
Schagel has built a saloon under the
shadow OF the school house, and the
people let it run and patronize it.
Frank Alderman has been astride a
cayuse for the past three weeks on
the reservation roundup; he has
nearly forgotten how to walk.
