HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

Thanksgiving will soon be here.
What jolly time for the students
that will be! Eh?
Overcoats and oyershoes are the
order of things again, in the hall
of the high school building.
Examinations last week brought
the usual number of disappoint-
ments, and also of ''swell heads.''
The Juniors actually had the
honor Of being able to hoist their
banner on the flag pole Of the school
house, last Sunday night after
church. It still foated upon the
breeze Monday morning, and one OF
the Juniors wanted to bet a dollar
that it would stay there until night.
No one took him up. In spite of the
vigilant watch maintained by the
Juniors, Freshies and the authori-
ties, however, nothing was to be
seen of the flag later than $50, ex.
cept few red and yellow rags ly.
ing around on the campus and scat
tered on the roof of the school house.
The Seniors must have had hand
in it, or what do you think?

A Narrow Escape.

The SHEAF had a bad fire scare
last evening at about six o'clock
just as the forms were being made
ready for the press. A fire started
in a room upstairs occupied bv
Oliver Granum, but fortunately it
was discovered in time and put out
before it could spread to the ad-
joining rooms and the lower story.
Mr.. J. B Main and family also oc-
cupied rooms in the second story
and had to hurry out of the build
ing. Many of their household goods
wece damaged by smoke and water,
with no insurance, a serious loss to
them. A few things in the SHEAF
office we're also damaged by water.
1t was close call, and the SHEAF is
thankful that it escaped second
baptism by fire.

THANKSGIVING DAY.

Every human being must, to a
certain extent, feel how much he is
in debt, for what he is and does and
has; that for the most part these
things have not come by his own
effort or volition; and that he en-
joys far more than he has earned or
deserves. We enjoy the fruits of a
civilization that is the outgrowth of
centuries, and we have had no hand
in shaping it; we are benefited by the
combined wisdom and experience
of the world for ages, yet we have
contributed nothing thereto. Great
inventions and discoveries, such as
of steam and electricity, minister to
our comforts and add to our happi-
ness. It is fortunate thing for us
that we live in a free and enlight-
ened country, in the twentieth CEN
tury, but it is not through any merit
Of our own that we are not living
under sitting despotism, or in the
condition OF Macedonian peasants,
or in the squalor of savage tribes.
We can be thankful for churches
and schools and the many good and
ennobling influences that make life
worth living.
Not only in our individual lives
have we passed safely through
many dangers, but our human in
stitutions, our form of popular gov
ernment, our systems of law and
morality, the home, our beloved
country and it's flag, exists today,
not perfect by any means, yet
stronger and more glorious than
ever, and bestow upon US innu-
merable blessings through no merit
of our own.
Thankfulness is becoming to man.
Even in the worlds most unfortu-
nate lands the good outweighs the
i'll. But in the United States, of all
countries of the world, it is becom-
ing to be grateful, and especially so
in our beloved Minnesota.
The people of Marshall county,
and the Red River valley, have a
great deal that ought to make their
hearts swell with gratitude. A
good crop has been raised in spite
of adverse crop conditions. Every
one has bread and bread to spare.
The fall has been an exceptionally
fine one and farmers we're enabled
to finish their work in good shape.
Even though many of us may not
have been as prosperous as we
wished, yet many blessing have
been showered upon us. Let US
thank God and praise his holy name.

Frank e. JOhnsOn's Farewell
Address,.

LADIES and GENTLEMEN: As.I re-
alize that I have gotten to the end
OF my newspaper campaign with the
WARREN SHEAF for this season, and
my work being more needed at nv
old trade, 1 feel that I should ex-
press my sincere thanks to all with
in and many without this county
who have shown me so many favors.
L can't very we'll make history of
my journeyings, because it would
require an enlargement of the paper.
If should, for instance, tell every
thing that [ have said and done in
the big cities of Thief River Falls.
Stephen, Hallock, Argyle and
Warren you know just what it
would look like, and if I should tell
something and not every thing
would consider myself liar, and as
my Repatriation is Truth and
nothing but the TRUTH I would
rather keep quiet and saw wood.
Ii l can't find anybody else that
will brag up my work hate to do
it my self: Self praise smelleth
bad." So I made up my mind when
the times were dull to stick strictly
to this saying:
Don't be discouraged, keep on
trying,
And you will get your wish.
Sometimes the very shortest line,
Pulls up the biggest fish,.

How the Popular Novel Destroys
Forests.

It has been estimated that nine
novels had a total sale of 1900, 600
copies. This means 1000, 600
pounds of paper. We are assured
by manufacturer of paper that the
average spruce tree yields little
less than half cord of wood, which
is equivalent to 500 pounds of
paper. In other words, these nine
novels swept away 1900 trees. Is
it any wonder that those interested
in forestry look with anxiety upon
the paper mill?-From the Scientific

Attempted Suicide.

Carl Fjeldberg, a young man who
has been employed on the Wood
ward farm the past summer, went
to New Solum last week to visit a
young lady for whom he entertained
tender feelings. His reception,
however, was of rather chilly sort,
because on Saturday evening he
turned up at Christ Engelsrud's S
place in Marsh Grove almost in the
shape of a corpse. He had resolved
to drown his sorrow in carbolic
acid, but in taking it he had exer-
cised commendable forethought in
having it properly diluted with
water, hence the dose did not prove
as effective as it might have done.
The coroner was called out, but as
Carl refused to die, no autopsy
could be held over his remains.

OUR NEW TRAIN SERVICE.
The st. Paul-Winnipeg Express
is q Fine Train.

The first train of the St. Paul.
Winnipeg express passed through
Warren on Sunday evening, south
bound, and many Warren people
were at the depot to see it. 1t was
a fine train made up of the latest
and most improved vestibuled
equipment, heated by steam and
lighted throughout with acetylene
gas, including superb sleeping and
dining car service. These new trains
leave Winnipeg at 500 p. m. daily
and arrive in St. Paul at 7:45 a.
m. Leaving St. Paul at 7:5O p. m
Winnipeg is reached at 1910 a. m.
next morning, the entire distance
between these points being made in
ID hours 20 minutes. The north
bound train arrives in Warren at
5:55 a. m., and the south bound at
9:38 p. m.
No mail train is attached to the
train from Crookston north, but
mail for Warren is pouched at
Crookston and brought here in the
express car. Mail for Crookston
and beyond is also pouched at the
Warren office and sent by this train.
The local day train arrives here
at 1910 a. M, a little later than
formerly, going north, and at 4:22
p. m. going south. This train is
equipped with mail car and car
ries mail as heretofore.

Mother.

Young man, if you have a mother
living, love her and do your best to
crown her declining years with JOY.
You can never know how much she
has suffered and sacrificed for your
sake. The silver threads came in
her hair as she knelt with bowed
bead by your cradle. You can
never know the agony of those
sleepless nights and anxious days
she held you as a baby at her
breast and prayed as only a mother
can pray that your life might be
spared.
With what thankfulness and joy
the poor heart overfowed when the
crisis was passed and she praised
God that her boy was spared. How
tenderly she cared for you all
through childhood, sacrificing every
pleasure that you might have the
best advantages her limited means
could provide. The old dresses she
used to wear, the trips home which
she did not make, the weary bur-
dens she carried for your sake until
her shoulders began to droop as
you see them now. And now how
changed she is in appearance, but
not particle is she changed in her
love. We quote this beautiful tri-
butte from one whose name we do
not know:
Time has scattered the snowy
flakes on dear old mothers brow,
plowed deep burrows in her check
but is she not sweet and beautiful
now? The lips which have kissed
many hot tear from the childish
cheeks are the sweetest lips in all
the world.
sThe eye is dim, yet it glows
with the wrapt radiance of a holy
love which can never fade.
"Oh, yes, she is dear old moth
er..
N'Her sands of time are nearly rur.
out, but, feeble as she is, she will
go further and reach down lower
fol you than any other on earth.
10y ou can not walk into midnight
where she can not see you; you can
not enter prison whose bars shall
keep her out; you can never mount
scaffold too high for her to reach
that she may kiss and bless you.
In evidence of her deathless love,
the world may despise and forsake
you-when it leaves you by the
wayside to die unnoticed, the dear
old mother will gather you up in
her feeble arms and carry you home
and tell you of your virtues until
you almost forget that your soul is
disfgured by vices:
Love her tenderly and cheer her
declining years with holy devo-
ton. odd Fellows Review.

STICKS TO WOOD
AGAIN SENDS HIS NAME TO THE
 SENATE.
Also That of Ie7 Other Army officers
 Whose Promosion is Made to Depend
 on That of Wood-Dr. crum's Nomi- nation Also gain sent Tn.

Washington, Dec. 7.--President Roosevelt to-day sent to the Senate the nomination of General Leonard Wood to be major general of the army and the nominations of 167 other army off, cers whose promotion is dependent on that of General Wood. Accompanying these nominations were those of about twenty-five civilian appointees. includ- ing that of pr. W. H. Crum to be col lector of the port of Charleston, s. C., and some others whom the president nominated in the last recess.
 These appointments are considered by the president and his advisers to be recess appointments. The question of their status has been. discussed thor oughly by the president with the best lawyers connected with the adninistra- ton and in congress. The conclusion has been reached that between the time of the fall of President Pro Tempore Frye's gavel signifying the conclusion of the extraordinary session and the calling to order of the Senate in the regular session of congress an appre- ciable lapse of time occurred.
 The commissions of the army officers have been dated back to the time last summer when the appointments origin ally were made.

ATTORNEY CAREY REMOVED.
No Longer Tru.,ee of John ". Ford
 Estate

Milford, Conn, Dec. 7.Attorney George W. Carey of stratford was re-. moved from the position of conserva- tor over Mrs. John w. Ford, and execu- tor and trustee of the estate of the late John W. Ford by Probate Judge Hep burn this afternoon on application of the heirs. Last Friday Judge Hepburn set to-day as the time when Carey should make his accounting, before his resignation, from the position, was ac- cepted, but in view of the fact that Carey was not present at to-day's hearing Attorney Hill of Bridgeport, ap- bearing for the heirs, made motion that Carey be dismissed. Judge Hep burn granted this and appointed Orange Merwin of Bridgeport in his place.
 MT. Carey, who is prominent in church circles in Stratford, had charges brought against him in the superior court in Bridgeport last week, alleging enbezzlement, forgery and perjury. These charges were presented by the AllcpdI1CC CoLiiiiltlCS O@ tilC E dlEllciu County Bar association. and are based on his alleged acts in connection with the positions from which he was dis missed to-day.
 Fords property, at the time of his death, was supposed to be worth about s12,00O, and it is alleged that Carey has used all of it for his own purposes. It lis further alleged that Carey forged the names of two Stratford people to the bond which he was required to furnish as executor.
