Prof. w. r.. Davis OF Madison,
S. D., visited the high school depart
ment Tuesday A. NJ, Dec. 2. Prof.
Davis was assistant principal ia our
high school in the year 1879, the year
Of the first graduating class. He
brieay addressed the students, in
part as follows:
You don't look as you did iD 10,
but the high school is just about the
same. Our schools in South Dakota
are all In modern buildings, just as
your new one is to be, and are graded
much as yours are, but you are ahead
Of US IN your system. You have a
state system for your high schools,
| while we have not. We have this adj
vantage however, we can arrange the
course to suit the conditions of the
locality in which the school is located.
| want to congratulate you on your
large attendance, and your attitude
toward the work. / do hope that
when you have new school building
that those who go out Of it will do
work in proportion to the advantages
which they will enjoy.
Have you ever thought that there is
a place peculiarly fitted for you to fill
in this world? There are duties for
each one CT us and we should tit our
selves the best we possibly can in
order to perform the duties of our life.
resumed with renewed vigor after the
short Thanksgiving vacation. On the
part of the majority of students there
| is a determination to make this pres
ent winter term count for more than
any previous term of high school life.
The period between the ringing of
the first and last bells has been made
a study period, and all students en-
tering the main room before 8 ii. IN. or
1880 p. IN. are required either to study
or to be quiet, so that others can
study. The extra study period is very
beneficial to some of the students, es-
pecially those who live in the country.
The high school foot ball team of
1902 is now thing of the past and
altho Tough the boys cannot look back
to many fields OF victory they can at
least look back with pleasure to the
friendly relationships made with the
members OF other high schools.
Charles Hoare has been chosen cap
tain for next year, and there Is no
reason why Mineral Point cannot
have winning team next year.

DscADENCE OF THE JAG.

Milwaukee Journal: There Is un-
doubleday any number of people who
take their liquor daily but they do
not go out on the street and advertise
themselves. The sight Of u drunken
man on the public thorouglfare : Il
rare one indeed and steadily growing
more rare. Men. when business per
mits leisure, may drink more or less
even get convivial; but they confine
the practice to free time and quiel
places. They must quit when they 90
to business. In fact, it Is business Me-
cesslties which are creating and en-.
forcing "a degree Of temperance un-
known 10 our grandfather5 or
even TO our fathers.
An employer may be given to drink
at times. himself; but he knows by
experience that the habit Is not sale
nor is il conducive to good service.
He will tell his employees that he
does not seek to control their habits,
but If they are given to drink they
must seek other employment. .
The conviction is becoming gener-
al that drinking habits are detriment-
al; that sobriety is necessary to bus
mess; that drink does not add to the
moral or intellectual power of any
man; that even the body is not Ger
tainly the better for it, though it may
be helpful in some eases. The age is
growing To be n sober age.

Ills father used the following illustra-
ton: ''If Ottie owed you 4 quarter. and
YOU met him ard asked him for it, he
would put his hand in his pocket, and II
he had it, take it out anu give it to you.
II YOU met him the next day and asked
him for the quarter, he would give it to
you again, and keep OF doing this until
you tod Kim he had paid you- Hc would
never remember having given it to you
Other similar Illustrations were given,
but all leading to the same conclusion
that Epes' mental defect lies in his ina
bility to remember correctly, an absent
mndcdness which is entirely harmless
He seems never to have developed any
more viciousneSs than is ordinarily met
with, and scarcely as much. He worked
very well. and no one feared him IN the
least. He was not regarded as danger
Gus or even bad character.
1t is now stated by Atollie Grammar,
the woman with whom Epes lived as
wife, that the whole story Epes has told
about his being near and seeing q White
man approach the Faust home the night
OF the murder. had its origin With his
father. She says Epes father got him
to tell the story with the object OF getting
him killed, the fathers desire being to
get rid OF paying Epes certain moneys
cue him.
| Tt seems that at one times Epes had
his fathers bond for a certain sum. The
bond was left in the hands of the father,
and the latter claimed it had been lost.
The father denies the principal portion OF
this story, but admits his son may have
some claims against him.
