SCHOOL LUNCHES.
Good Word fer Cookies-Doughnuts
and Apple Turnovers.

There is an affinity between the
school boy and the cooly, inexplain-
able, perhaps, according to all the
known rules which govern such condi-
tons, but existing nevertheless, in the
form of an indissoluble bond, writes
Mrs Gilbert, in Farm Sentinel. Why,
the boys of former generation who
are now our great men, ate cookies
for their school lunch; nay, worse,
they ate doughnuts, and they lived
through it and are fairly healthy spec
linens Of manhood today. The mother
who altogether withholds these time
honoreG Gainties from her children
willfuIly defrauds them of something
that belongs to childhood; something
that the most tempting menus and
culinary triumphs of after life can
never wholly supply.

tiers for the night the colored troons

town.
This was the situation in Sugs
when L landed at Powder River about
o'clock in the evening. Finding it i'm
possible to cross. owing to the swelling
of the stream which always occurs at
this time of the year and the break
ing of the ferry, camp was pitched and
we prepared to turn in for, the night. I
had just finished supper and was light
ing my pipe when single shot broke
out upon the stiffness of the night. fol-
lowed by regular fusillade, The
rapid crack-crack-c of the Win
chester and the slower louder report
of the single-shot Springfield were
easily distinguished. This firing was
continued for probably fifteen minutes,
and all was again silent.
ION crossing the river the next day l
learned the particulars. The negro
soldiers had broken away from their
quarters unbeknown to the white
officers. taken their guns, and at the
given signal-a single shot-proceeded
to depopulate the town. The punch
ers' were in their element, and cut
loose with Winchesters from different
points with fatal effect On the death
of the negro ring-leaders the blacks
stampeded. Tripping over guy ropes,
dropping guns, ammunition, and other
belongings, they touched nothing but
the high places getting to their quar-
ters.- Although the shooting was at
night and necessarily at random, they
left six dead behind in their wild
flight. In the morning an officer with
a flag of truce approached the town,
requesting permission to remove the
dead. which was granted. OF course.
under the circumstances, nothing was
left for the military authorities tn do

Kline refused to vote. The motion was
declared lost by Chairman Brogan,
having failed to secure majority Of
the members OF the board, as required

After the ballot had been taken Mr..

make the proposed change satisfactory.

than was received by Mr.. Mclaughlin,

protesting director failed to note In his
remarks that the supervising principal
is receiving an annual salary Of $500 less
than his predecessor and that the vice
principal is teaching for 81 so per month
less than last terms vice principal and
that the teacher whose particular cause
he espoused is, with the others whose

''lnCurable" Heart Disease
Soon Cured !
By the Great Specialist in
Treating Weak and Diseas-

NJ. D., IL. B.
Will Send $500 Worth of His Special
Treatment Free as II Trial.

To demonstrate the unusual curative
powers of his new and complete special
treatments by mail for heart disease,
short breath, pain in the side, oppression
in the chest, irregular pulse, palpitation,
smothering spells. putting of the ankles,
or dropsy, DR.. Miles will send four dol
lars worth free as a trial, to all who
mention this paper.
His treatments are the result OF twenty
five years of careful study, extensive re-
search, and remarkable experience in
treating the various ailments OF the
heart, stomach and nerves, which so
often complcate each case. So aston
ishing are the results of his complete
special treatments that he does not hes
itate to offer all persons trial free.
Nothing could be more generous. Few
physicians have such confidence in their
remedies. There is no reason why every
afflicted person should not avail them
selves of this exceedingly liberal offer,
as they may never have another such
opportunity. No death comes as sud
denly as that from heart disease.
