GOOD PICTURES IN THE SCHOOLS

What more laudable undertaking
than supplying the public schools
with good pictures?
What better means of educating
the tastes of the growing genera.
tion than by having them become ia
miliar with the masterpieces Of art?
The public art exhibit to be given
in this city next month will surely re.
ceive hearty support.
The movement is TO put at least
twenty good pictures in each of the
public school rooms.
Art reproductions can now be had
so cheaply that the grandest subjects
can be made familiar to the eyes of
the whole community.
This, in itself, is a liberal educa.
ton, and the teachers should. be re.
quired TO give the children the his.
tory and meaning Of each picture.
The boy or girl who passes through
the Salem schools win so out into the
world familiar with the names OF the
great pictures and the great painters,
sculptors and architects.
Such influences placed upon young
lives mold them In the right direc,
tion. Beautiful and pure pictures
mean pure thoughts. pure morals and
pure lives,

Back to the little town,
With all my wealth OF memories, tC
sadly fling them down;
That | had no more seen
The lazy little street
That ldles down the hlllsldes where
the town and country meet.
l wish I had not gone
To loiter and to look,
And miss the boy time glories in the

One day II was so deep:
One day It was so wide;
Ono day It held cool shadows where
the sunshine went TO hide.
l wish | had not traced
The roses once again,
And tried TO find the redness and
the sweetness they had then;
Nor gone at early morn
To find them filed with dew,
Nor searched them for the honey
that the bees and once knew
wish | had not walked
The little country lane
And hoped TO hear the birdsongs with
the echolng refrain;
That | had not gone out
Upon the meadow grass
Expecting vagrant clover scent and
mint tang as I'd pass.
l wish | had not gone
Back 10 the little town
Back to my castles built In Spain
to see them crumble down;
To fail TO hear the songs
That rose 80 gladly then;
To wake-and never dream that |
could be a boy again.

CONDENSED.
Amberg Swept by Fire-Attorney Gen

Killed for v histling Wrong Tune.

The business portion of Amberg was
wiped out by fire. The fire started in the
rear of the Wright grocery store, which
stands in the middle of a business block.
When first discovered it had enveloped
the rear of the store and spread rapidly
to Corn's grocery and thence through the
entire block to the Commercial and Ex-
change hotels A general alarm was
sounded and the entire population turned
out to fight the flames Aid was asked
from Waukesha and Iron Mountain and
the fire companies from those places re-
sponded, but by the time they could ar
rive the fire had burned itself nearly out
and was under control. The postoffice
and one store were saved. The flames
spread so rapidly that some of the guests
at the hotel had narrow escapes and sew
eral were forced to jump for their lives.
No injuries We're sustained. The loss is
estimated at $4,000.

A BIT OF HISTORY.
How the La Plata Provinces Were
Lost to England Forever.

A@OSt 10 LA Glanu Il OrGveTs
Buenos Aires, meaning good airs"
pr "healthful Winds" was named by an
BID Spanish explorer and freebooter,
Pedro Gle Mendoza who founded the
tlty in the year 1886. The wind blow
ing III from the pampas was certainly
good, but not SO the fiat, swampy piece
Df ground that he selected for town.
4et the little settlement grew despite
It's surroundings, despite the lack Of
harbor, despite a century of Indian
wars and over two and q half centu-
rles OF Spanish misrule. It grew and
prospered until, in 1776-an easy date
to remember became the capital of
the great Spanish viceroyalty Of La
Plata, which comprised what is now
Argentina, Bolivia, Paraguay and Uru-
quay. Just 100 years ago Buenos Aires
population had reached $4,000, which
seems quite remarkable when one con-
siders the vexatious taxes and restric-
tons Imposed on her colonies.
In 1906 occurred the British invasion
under Major-Gen. (afterward Viscount)
William Carr Beresford, an event that
nearly changed the destiny of half a
continent. For ''the Purple Land that
England lost" as a writer styles the
La Plata countries, would probably
have been British to-day, like Cape
Colony, or, at least English-speaking
had Beresford held the city he so easily
captured.
England and Spain were at war at
this time, Spain being the ally of Ma
poleOn. Beresford, who had been sta
toned at Cape of Good Hope, thought
he would aid his country by Selling a
Spanish colony, and impulsively set
sail for the Rio de la Plata with about
800 men. Arrived off BuenOs Aires, he
took the city quite by surprise, and
captured it easily. But the people were
not inclined to submit to a mere hand
full of IngleSes Tnglishmem, and after
a few weeks preparation they adj
vanced upon the invaders and soon
overwhelmed them. The fighting oc-
Cured in the Plaza Mayor, the princi-
pal square Of the city, where Beres-
ford was intrenched, and this square
has ever since been known as the Plaza
Victoria, while adjacent streets, such
as Defensa Oefense), Reconquista Gre
conquest, and a few others, were re-
named in honor Of the victory.
But Great Britain, unwilling to lose
such prize, sent much larger force,
under General Whitelocke, to recap
ture the city. This expedition, how
ever, ended much more disastrously.
Whitelocke, through his incompetency,
lost half his men and had to withdraw
to his ships; and, to complete his dis
grace, he surrendered Montevideo, the
city across the river-now the capital
or Uruguay-which had been calamity
captured by a separate force. Thus
the La Plata provinces were lost to
England forever.-St. Nicholas.

Will Prosecute Railroads.

Attorney General L. NJ. Sturdevant
will shortly tackle the leading railroads
Of the State in a series of prosecutions
against the Chicago and Northwestern
and the Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul
companies for the alleged importation by
these roads of branded and range West
ern horses in violation of the Wisconsin
law. This importation is alleged to be
threatening to the stock Of the entire
State because of the prevalence of CLAN
ders in the imported animals. The laws
of Wisconsin provide for a system of
inspection and examination Of stock to
be imported into the State, as to whether
it is diseased or has been exposed to any
dangerous infectious disease. If the
stock, after the required veterinary ex-
animation, is found to be fit and healthy,
certificate is to be issued. The ship
pers and railroad companies have found
the law inconvenient and somewhat ex-
pensiye wherever tried and have in most
cares utterly ignored it.

Polish Wedding Costume.

There was a wedding in one of the
Polish colonies Of this city on re-
Gently rainy Sunday that while not ac-
cording to the set rules and regula-
lions for such events, was at least
unique in it's style, and might prove a
suggestion to the ultra -faShionabl BILE set,
who are ever in search for something
new and novel.
According to the Polish custom the
marriage ceremony usually occurs on
Sunday, this being done to permit
the men to attend without losing any
time from their employment, while the
bride is supposed to maintain the
greatest secrecy concerning her we'd
ding until she is actually clad in her
wedding garments of thin white and
bridal veil. Then she goes from house
to house, regardless of the conditions
Of the weather, and invites her friends
to her wedding, which, Of course, is
paying them a very pretty compliment.
Again, according to custom, and during
the course of the reception, china
+! bowl is placed in the center of the
laDle, upon WHICH Tie least Is Sp1edu'
and each man whom the bride hOnOrs
with a waltz, understands that he is
to throw with all his might and main
silver piece into this bowl, the idea
| being to break it; and the man who is
so fortunate as to ~shatter the vessel, is
entitled to the farewell dance, and a
kiss from the bride. While the Gus
tom is curious, it is none the less prac-
teal, as it is not an infrequent thing
for the newly-married couple to receive
three or more hundred dollars at their
wedding fCast.-Washingt Post.
