In order to encourage thrift and
industry in his hopeful son Edwin
Gould is said to have offered to give
Edwin Jr., a cent for pins to the
number Of 200 which he finds on the
floor and in cracks. These 2OO
pins may be brushed up and sold fol
about 10 cents, representing a fail
profit for papa. AS the Goulds are
not grasping or avaricious, it is fail
to presume that Edwin is satisfied
with his little advantage of 1000
per cent. This little story is cord
ially commended to fathers who wish
to make their SONS useful in business
and who adhere to the sagaclous
principle that money should never
20 out of the family.

A GOOD PERFORMANCE.

There was q fair sized audience
out at the New Theater Monday
evening to witness the minstrel per
Torrance by a band of colored
sailing under the name of
Gideon's big minstrel company.
The performance was most merit
orious one and these whose who
were present had good evenings
enjoyment. The first part was of
the usual brand of minstrel perfor-
with the funny end men.
There was some very good music
during this part, also some clever
jokesl. However, it was during TIKI
oio that the best part of the per-
Torrance was given. Lashe on the
slack wire did a most creditable
turn, while William Jones pleased the
audience very much with his from
bone solos and limitations! Skinner
Harris was the funny man of tie
aggregation and he kept the audi
ence in continuous uproar when
ever he was before the foot-lights.
Ed Anderson with his deep bass
voice was also highly appreciated.
All told the performance was. well
worth witnessing.-Sioux Falls

James, but Colo mel Thornton owns
a cocker spaniel the peer Of them ALL.
The spaniel's name is Don and he,
has a bump Of intelligence as big a..
a beer keg and faculty Of imitia-
ton Of abnormal dimensions. He
is close student of everything that
happens about the Thornton pre-
misses. On Monday the colonel plant
ed patch of potatoes in his garden
and Don was an interested spectator.
He watched intently the process Of
scooping out holes in the ground,
taking the potato seeds from a pan
placing them in the holes and cover
ing them up. The colonel rested
for few minutes from his labor
and went into the house for drink
of water. When he returned he was
astohished to find Don lusily or gag
ed in planting potatoes as if his life
depended upon the job. First he
would dig hole with his paws,
then go to the pan and grab piece
of potato in his mouth, trot back to
the hole, drop the piece in and
cover it up carefully with the dirt
using his paws and nose. Then he
would start in on another hole and
repeat the performance. This con-
tinued until he had a whole row
planted when the seed gave out. He
then trotted up to the colonel for a
word of approval, which, needless to
say, was forthcoming. This dog
is vouched for by Colonel Thornon,
| who can produce both the dog and
the row Of potatoes in evidence

afford better, buildings, better :appa-
ratus and libraries than the single
rural schools At the road corner, and
longer and more regular terms of
school will be possible.
Experience has shown that con-
solidation aud transportation of
pupils at public expense increases
the attendance and punotuality of
pupils. The health of the Children
is guarded better, even if they travel
five miles in covered wagon, than
if they walked a mile or more
through snow and mud.
1.-THE higher branches that can be
taught at the larger central schools
means that the older children. can
be kept at home several years longer
than under the present system.
This tends to keep boys and girls on
the farm, whereas now they have to
go to town schools early, and are
more likely to want to live in towns
than on farm.
''There are hundreds of schools in
Minnesota that last year enrolled
less than fifteen pupils. As the
classes range from ALB, to algebra,
the teacher might hear about thirty
ten-minute recitations a day. The
consolidation of two schools means
Rotations twice as long and con.
sequently better work.
This system of consolidation
made possible by law passed by
the legislature last winter, allowing
any number of, independent school
districts to consolidate, also has in
cidental advantages. It tends to aid
the good roads movement and
unites the interests Of a large COM
munity. The wagon that carries
pupils to school can carry mail and
convey parents to concerts or meet
ings in the evening""

MERGING RURAL SCHOOLS.

MERGING RURAL SCHOOLS.
st. Paul Pioneer Press j. W. Olson,
state superintendent, and C. G.
Schulz, assistant superintendent,
returned yesterday to st. Paul after
addressing meetings in different
parts of the state in the interests of
consolidating rural schools
Reconciliation of rural schools is
bound to come," said Mr.. Olson
Everywhere there is agitation, and
many schools will consolidate this
fall. It is the most rational solution
of the rural school problem yet
proposed. TIE rural schools have
not kept pace twenty years because
Of conditions inherent in isolated
rural sch ools, making otter superin-
tendence, supervision, inspection
and organization impossible, rather
than to lack Of educational appreci-
alton by the rural population.
1.-THE consolidation of isolated
rural schools and the transportation
of pupil to and from school at public
expense has been tried in Massachu.
setts, Vermont, New Hampshire,
Rhode Island, New York, Ohio, In.
diana, Wisconsin Iowa, Kansas and
Nebraska, and find that every state
and county superintendent in whose
territory it has been tired pro-
nounces it highly successful.
''The advantages of meditation
arc that it secures better teachers
and better classification Of pupils,
50 that both spond their time to1
better advantage. It makes larger
and that stimulates COMPETE
ton and arouses greater interest
and enthusiasm among The pupils:
There is an opportunity for more
supervision by The county
superintendent or the principal Of
the center school. Their are very
few all round expert teak hers. Con:
permits the employment
Of at least one teacher best adapted
to primary work and one or the
higher studies. In largo schools it

TALMAGE.
Death last Saturday removed from
among the American people T. De
White Talamge, one CT the greatest
preachers of any age. He was be-
yond question the leading preacher
in the United States. He was great

man. If he had been a banker he
would have been at the top of the
fraternity; or if a lawyer his light
would have illumnined his pro-
fession.
His supreme greatness was the re-
suit of his strong practical SYM
pathy. While other ministers
preached about sympathy, he OK
pressed it. When Russia was
famine stricken, Talmage sent his
ship load Of corn to feed the people.
India and Ireland came in for his
munifcient charities while the
American nation placed transports
at his disposal to convey the life
saving provisions he accumulated
to those unfortunate countries.
Should cyclone sweep a town or a
city during the week, and stretch the
accumulated property of thousands
chaff like over the face of the earth,
bis pulpit tie next Sunday sounded
the slogan for aims gathering.
Should any disaster befall a COM
munity the world was thrown into
q common bond of sympathy by a
sermon from this great divine.
His popularity was universal.
He could visit any part of the globe.
and thousands would crowd to hea r
him while AZ many would be turned
away for want of room. If he
preached in Europe or in Asia the
following morning his sermons
would be. read by his own people
as well as those in foreign lands.
That is more than can be said of
any other pulpit orator that ever
lived. He preached in language
that could be understood and no
sermon was ever loaded down with
theological expression that could not
be seen through by the common
hearer. He was luminous in touch
ing anecdotes taken from actual ex-
perience, and not such as are forged
out of the mind of the impractical
author. The press of the country
saw the utility of such pulpit
oratory and syndicated the publish
ing of his sermons. 1t was not
because he was spectacular that he
was popular, but because he was
sympathetic, more human than
ETHEREAL Talmage was scholar
and yet made no pretentions to
scholarship; Beecher did; Stores,
John Hall, Berhends and Leonard
Bacon were aristocratic, scholastic,
local; while Criglar was domestic.
Talmage concerned himself in the
affairs Of all mon and became the
worlds preacher. Politics came in 1
for his consideration as it should,
that of all preachers. While he
made no attempts to govern cities,
or tell others how they should be
governed, he reigned heaviest blows
upon municipal misrule. The su-
perior pulpit genius of the man was
wonderfully in evidence. The now
and. strange things he introduced
into his work were pronounced
by those whose eyes
will not behold new things and some
who win not be disturbed in old
methods, AL d others too weak TO-
enter into legitimate strife. A
famous puplit divine said of him at
the celebration of the quarter CEN
tennial of this Brooklyn Passionate;
''Dr. Talmage has in my judge
ment done more to revolutionize
to. make it entertaining
and interesting than any other man
