HIGH SCHOOL
FLOURISHING
The Enrolment Has Reached t'shtI'
Two-AII But One Of the Eighth
Grade Graduates Have Entered.
NEW FEATURE INTRODUCED
First-cIass stereoptiean Added to the
Equipment-WiIl be OF Great As
sistance in School Work.

The enrolment in the county high
school has now reached 81, an ad-
mirable showing for a city and COM
munity no larger than ours. OF the
80 pupils who were promoted from
the eighth grade OF the city schools
this spring, every one has entered the
high school, with the exception Of one
who moved from the city. Such inter
est in the high school is almost UNI
precedented, for rarely in any COM
munity does every eligible pupil en-
ter the high school, as a few boys and
girls always drop out of school after
completing the eighth grade. A rec.
ord like this certainly speaks well for
the labors of those who had the class
in charge, and it also indicates the in.
terest which attaches to the high
| school.
The per cent OF attendance is unus.
ually high. Pupils are seldom out of
their places except when circumstan-
ces actually demand it. The pupils
have learned that when they miss a
lesson, they have lost a decided ad-
vantage in carrying Oh their further
work. A weeks absence throws a pu-
pill far behind in his class. and he
must do a great deal of additional work
to retain his place. Many a boy can
trace his failure in high school work
TO an absence of a few days. when ne
fell behind and ~loundered thence
forth. unable to regain mis- former po-
sition when his lessons appeared
much easier.
A new feature of high school work
is being planned. which might be
termed high school extension. A first
class ~stereopticon has been added to
the equipment. and frequent illustrat-
ed lessons on high school subjects
will be given II night. If circumstan-
ces will permit ii is planned to open
these lessons TO any persons in the
community who may be interested, so
that young people who are unable to
continue their higher education at
school may have the advantage of
this high school extension teaching.
The instrument is quite complete for
IT'S purpose, having a high grade mi.
%croscopic attachment for illustrating
microscopic subjects in physiology,
biology and related branches. Every
branch of high school study can be H.
Illustrated and thus be made far more
interesting and profitable. Further an
nouncement of this phase of high
school work will follow.

A Daily Service.
After the Lewistown extension Is
completed, a service will be establish
ed that will give the people of Lewis
town and Of the towns on the line
their daily mail. a fast passenger
train will run between Lombard and
Lewistown. The train will leave
Lombard Monday morning and arrive
at Lewistown in the afternoon. IL
will consist of several coaches and
will be run on passenger time. Tues
day morning this train will leave Lew
istown and run to Lombard so as to
connect with the forenoon train for
Helena. The following morning it
will run to Lewistown. The fast
train, you understand, will be run
over the line one way each day. On
the day following the running of the
passenger train from Lombard to
Lewistown, a mixed train, that is a
freight train to which q passenger
coach is attached, will be run to Lew
istown. 1t will return the following
day, and so on through the week. In
his way the people along the line
will be given daily service.
Mr.. Harlow said that the delay in
completing the line was due almost
entirely to the fact that the contract
ors were unable to secur labor as fast
as required.
Bad weather in the spring delay,
ed construction for a time" he said.
For the last ten days the track lay
ers have been up with the graders.
From Cottonwood to Lewistown there
has been some heavy work. The cuts
are deep and progress has been very
slow.

Poli.hed Shoe Thaeves.nn-

'No, 1t is not all profit in our busi
ness" declared the manager Of an sex
elusive" shoestore in the Fifth avenue
district. at is true we fit the feet OF
people of money, which means that in
cases of running accounts we have to
wait till the end of the year for our
money, because they scorn anything
but yearly settlements-tha is, we
render our bills on Jan. 1 and get ouI
money some time before June. But ou1
chief source of loss is from polished
we'll dressed thieves. How can man
get away with pair of shoes? Why,
by putting them on his feet and walk
ing away with them. These thieves,
men and women, come in with the air
of wealth and gentility, select e~pen-
sive shoes, try them on-both shoes are
tried on, you know, in a first class
piace-and while pretending to walk
up and down to try the feel of the
shoes they divert the salesman's atten-
ton and simply walk out of the store
with twenty dollar shoes on their feet,
leaving dollar and half pair on our
hands. Don't think we are easy but
there are SO many ways in which this
can be worked that we sometimes lose
three or four pairs of shoes in a week"

4 Unique Carpet Fa.tener.

The oft repeated joke of the man who
walked the floor at night with the baby
and trod on a stray carpet tack viii
have to be laid on the shelf for good
and all if the tack shown in the accom-
panying illustration shall find favor as
a substitute for the fat headed and
sharp pointed fastener which has been
in use for so many years. There is one
great recommendation for this inven-
ton. In case of a fire it is but mo-
ment's work to pull the carpet from
the floor, and that. too, without any
danger of tearing the fabric. This tack
has one long end, which is inserted in
a hole close to the Dashboard and re-
ceives nearly all the strain of the
stretched carpet, the short, pointed end
only entering the wood a short dis
