ity, herself graduate, took deep
and friendly interest in the two daugh-
tiers of tenant farmer-a near neigh
Dor, and was anxious that they have
the fullest advantages of all that our
high sch DOL afforded. To that end she
urged that these sisters enter the
school at the commencement of the
term but their parents felt that they
could not dispense with their services
upon the farm through the threshing
season. But their friend was in ear
nest. She insisted again4t their pro-
test that she be permitted TO do the
work they would do, and would not
accept any refusal whatever. She ac-
cordingly took full charge Of the
household work, cooked for the
threshing crew, and assisted with
might and main through the hard
work incident to threshing. And no"

girls, am bitious and appreciatIve, have

Delightful Recital

On Tuesday evening the Musical
club entertained the Gradatim: and
Art clubs at the Auditorium, when
Mrs. Graves of st. Paul gave a very
delightful recital.
Miss Sanford was accompanist and
also gave piano solo.
Mrs. Dewey and Miss White gave a
piano duet.
Mrs. Graves, who is dram attic
soprano, was in fine voice and her
excellently selected program showed
her range of voice as we'll as its culti-
walton. Her singing was far better
than any heard in Sank Centre for a
long time. 1t is hard to select any
number from her program as the best,
it was all SO we'll rendered, but per-
haps the Schubert songs and the Aria
Hear Ye Israel, were most thoroughly
ehjoved by the audience.
Miss Sanford proved a fine accom-
PIANIST, which is a hard place to fill.

This action was taken after a num-
Der of witnesses had been heard.
Louis Anderson, a saloonkeeper, testi-
fed that he received $50 from Nor
