THE above was received few hours
too late for publication last week. The
young ladies perhaps eXaggerate the
value of the EDITORS personal service in
helping them to secure good audience.
They should rather congratulate them
selves upon their own appreciation of the
value of good advertising-in the ISL
AMBER. However, the editor has a real
personal interest" in the Normal, hav-
ing been the secretary of the first board
OF trustees, under whom the main build
ing was erected, and having done what
he could to secure the first appropriation
for the equipment and mainte nance of
the school, which appropriation was We
toed by Governor Rogers. 1t is source
of much qualification to all connected
with the establishment of the institution
that it has so quickly reached the fore
most place in the list of Normal schools

RED, WHITE AND BLUE INN.
Montana Mans Suggestion For a Pa

triotic Hosiery In Warrington.
The District commissioners Of Wash
ington had a good deal of fun recently
over a suggestion that comes all the
way from Kalispelr Mont, in regard to
a new hotel for Washington, says the
New York Times.
The S ggostion Is that the govern
ment erect a national hotel in Wash
ington. to cover a whole block, and
with each side so constructed of red,
white and blue bricks as to look like
a huge national flag. TO increase the
realism of the scheme the author pro-
poses that the outline as shown in
brick should be wayy, as If b flag
were tossed in the breeze. He wants
the hotel to be a s%kyscraper, 81 it can
be e from a long distance as the
people of the country ride into the cap
ital on the cars. The e%aravansary is to
be for politicians chiefly, and there is
to be a large convention hall, with ca
pacious cloakrooms, in which politi-
clans by thousands may pull wires.
The furniture is all TO be upholstered
in red, white and blue. The proprietor
is to be required by law to maintain a
large band that shall rival the famous
Marine band and play patriotic tunes
constantly day and night. marching
Through Georgia is mentioned as L

says he believes the time is coming
when Canada and Mexico will be an
