A Double emit.

Mrs. John Eaton received the sad
intelligence last week Of the sudden
death of her brother, George L.
Lovett, and her nephew, Archie
Lovett, son of George L. Lovett.
The death of the father and son
occurred but few days apart.
Mr.. Lovett, who lived at Bridge
port, Douglas county, Washington,
upon receiving a telegram announc-
ing the serious illness of his son
Archie at Wenatchee, in the same
county, fastened to his bedside and
upon arriving there was attacked
with heart trouble and on the 26th
of April died at the home of his
brother-in-law, DR.. Campbell. The
remains were taken to Waterville,
the home of his mother, Mrs. Paul
ina Lovett, for burial and while the
funeral was being held news came
to the relatives that the son, Archie,
had passed away as the result of
an attack of typhoid fever. Mr..
Lovett leaves a wife, two sons
Curtis, aged % and Wesley, aged
Is, and one daughter, Edna, aged
.21. Archie was IL.
George Lovett was formerly a
resident of this city. He married
Miss Rhoda Cameron, daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Hugh Cameron,
and the family moved to the state of
Washington thirteen years ago.
DR.. Campbell of Wenatchee, at
whose home Mr.. Lovett died, mar
ried another daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Cameron-Nora. 1t is report
ed that Mr.. Lovett's daughter, Miss
Edna, is crazed by the double Attic

Normal Notes.

Prof. Sims will inspect the rural
schools of Pierce county this week
in companywith County Supt. Ingli,
under the direction of State Supt.
C. P. Cary. During his absence his
classes are distributed among the
following: United States history
and constitution, Prof. Fletcher;
geography, Prof. Ewing; review his
tory, Prof. Wilson; United States
history, David Swartz.
The ladies' chorus, under the di-
rection of Mrs. Thatcher, furnished
the music for the High school dis
trict declamatory contest which was
held at Hammond Friday evening.
The school was offici ally represent
ed there by President Brier.
General Secretary G. E. Hill of
the College and Normal School of
Y. M. C. A. department of Evans
ton, ILL.,, visited the school in the
interest of that work on Wednesday,
addressing the young men in the
evening.
President Brier delivered series
of interesting talks to the school at
general exercises on "The History
and Law of Normal Schools in Wis
consin."
The reaction from the severe dis
cipline of student life found it's ex-
preston this week in the planting
of class trees, the senior class hav-
ing planted it's tree on Tuesday
night and the elementary class on
Friday morning, both classes en-
countering but little opposition.
The kindergarten and primary de-
partments joined efforts on Friday
afternoon in carrying out an Arbor
day program.

Elementaries Plant Class Tree.

Had any one been awake at the
ghostly hour of three last Friday
morning he would have wondered
why there were so many lights
twinkling here and there. Later
these disappeared and shadows, in
stead of lights, were seen stealing
toward the Normal campus. AT
four tree was on the campus. 1t
had probably grown there in the
night. After all the shadows had
arrived they danced around the new
tree, threw their caps into the air
and swore allegiance. Then fol-
lowed speech by the president
which was followed by woe, "Woe
unto thee, mighty tree, if ever bit
of the shade cast by thy branches
rest weary freshman, sophomore,
junior or senior!" BY this time it
was light enough to see that the
shadows were none other than the
jolly elementar1eS OF '03.
The morning air, the work and
play had stirred up an appetite, and
finding the fruit on the senior tree
rather tough and unsavory-it had
probably matured too rapidly, one
night isn't very long and moonlight
isn't very warm-the e1ementaries
repaired to the New City Hotel
where Mr.. Shepard had prepared a
sumptuous six clock breakfast for
them. The menu was a follows:
CEREALS TOAST
HAM A LA NEWBURG
SARATOGA CHIPS EGGS
HOT CAKES HONEY
DoUGHNUTs COFFEE.
Mr.. Shepard had prepared mono
gram napkins for the occasion.
Before breakfast the class made
great scient,f discovery. They all
declare that there is such thing as
a vacuum. If you don't agree, get
up at three, plant tree and you
will see. -

An interesting meeting on THE
Prodigal Son" was led by Miss
Bassett last Sunday evening. She
presented the subject in new light,
giving the society some good
thoughts on it.
The grandmother's album social
which was given last Friday even
ing by the society was we'll attended
and afforded those present much
amusement. A number of pictures
were presented by Miss Irma Arm
strong as grandmother, each being
accompanied by laughable de-
scription which sometimes seriously
affected the pictures. All agreed it
was a successful affair.
Members of the society should be
sure to remember the business
meeting next Friday evening at the
home of Miss Currier, corner of
Third and Cedar streets. The
meeting will be called to order at
1880 and after the business has been
disposed of there will be a little
social time.
The names of Miss Flossie Waq-
ner as an active member and Miss
lone Thomson as an associate mem
Der will be voted upon next Sunday
evening.
Among the missionary items pre-
scented last Sunday evening was
the fact that G. w. Human, a
former Wisconsin man and later
missionary to China, has been Sc
lected field secretary for the Y. P.
S. c. E. in that country. 1t was
decided at the Cincinnati conven-
ton quite while ago to have such
an officer, but up to this time it had
not been possible to secure one.

The Troubadours are under the

satisfaction to the public last sea-
son. Miss Murry, an elocutionist
