ship at large, beginning his talk with
the sentence of Paul, 'We are citizens
of no mean city, He spoke of the
Hervey Booth. He said there is an
other man that we are indebted to for
this Booth school and that is Horace
Mann, one of the best known cduca
tiOniStS of America. He came of Il
poor family and up to the age Of Is
had been able to attend school not
more than eight weeks out of the year.
But by perseverance and study he was
able to graduate from Brown Univer-
sity at the age OF %. He was made a
member of the State Legislature and
afterward appointed secretary of the
Board of Education, which was formed
to revise and reOrganiZe the common
school system in the state of Massa-
chuSetts. For II years he worked Is
hours day on this, He held teachers
meetings and conventions and gave
lectures. 1t was in consequence of the
lectures that Hervey Booth became so
deeply interested in the school work.
We do not know how much we are in
debted to our ancestors for the present
condition of our schools. Mr. Seeley's
remarks were interesting and to the
point, and all present were greatly in
terested in them. The exercises closed
by the singing of "America" by the
shaking among the friends followed
and all were pleased to inspect the
new school building.
The Booth Free school building is
situated at Roxbury Center a wooden
structure one story, painted gray, with
dark trimmings. A small belfry con-
tains bell, which is surmounted by
weather vane. On the door are the
letters, ''B. F. S., 1902" The vane is
large gilt quill pen and under it the
letters representing the points of the
front of the door on which is erected
a flag pole. The door leads into
hall way, doors opening on either side
to commOdiOus dressing rooms. At
the end of the hall is the door leading
into the school room proper. The
room is large and airy, 25x35, Is feet
high, we'll lighted and we'll ventilated.
The room is heated by a furnace, which
is placed in the cellar of the building,
put in by F. f. Hitchcock of Wood
bury. In the corners of the rooms
are placed cupboards for the purpose
of storing away extra books or school
apparatus. Directly opposite the
door on the rear wall is life size por-
trait of Hervey Booth, which will be
a constant reminder to the scholars of
their benefactor. The blackboards
extend all around the room. The
room is sealed on the sides and over
head in Southern pine. In the center
Of the ceiling is large ventilator,
which will keep the air in the room
pure and at the same time avoid
drafts. The floor is Of hard wood. The
chairs, of which there are 40, are of
hard maple and are roomy and com
Portable. The builders and architects
were Bronson Brothers, who carefully
looked after every detail They are
to be commended for the completeness
of their work. And the town of ROx-
bury is to be congratulated on having
so fine building for the use of their
children in obtaining an education.

THE SPIRIT OF WINTER.

The Spirit of Winter is with US,
making it's presence known in many
different Ways-somee' mes by CHEEKY
sunshine and -glistening SHOWS, and
sometimes by driving winds and blind
ing storms. To many people it seems
to take a delight in making bad things
worse, for rheumatism twists harder,
tWinges sharper, catarrh becomes more
annoying, and the many symptoms of
scrofula are developed and aggravated.
There is not much poetry in this, but
there is truth, and it is wonder that
more people don't get rid of these all
ments. The medicine that cures them
hoods Sarsaparilla-iSe easily obtain

is cures are radical and permanent.

SCOTS Emulsion is simply
a milk of pure cod liver oil

Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste

The Great Northern railway has de-
cided to avoid the present heavy
grades on it's main line through Mon
tana by building ten miles of new
road from Columbia Falls to a point
just north of Jennings, on the branch
from that town to the Canadian
boundary. Three years ago Presi-
dent Hill declared his intention of
thus avoiding grades and double head
er freight trains. Kailspell, which
will be left on the branch line by the
change, made a vigorous protest and
the change was abandoned until the
recent settlement of the labor trouble
with Great Northern train men
brought about the abandonment of the
double-header trains, making the
change of grade necessary. The cost

OUT OF BUSINESS.
Mankato Mutual Hail Insurance Company
Can't Do Business in This State.

Jamestown Alert. The commits
sioner of insurance has revoked the
authority of the St. Paul Mutual Hail
and Cyclone Insurance company, bet
ter known last season as the Mankato
Mutual Hail company, from doing
business in this state. The attorneys
for the company tried to keep the
certificate alive, but did not succeed.
The company did a large business in
this part of the state last eason
In the early part Of the month of
January the st. Paul Hail and Cyc-
lone Insurance company applied for
authority to transact business in North
Dakota. Under the then existing law
the certificate vas granted. Later the
leg islature passed a law which re-
quired all foreign mutual hail COM
panies to deposit with the state
treasurer the sum of $25, 900 before
they we're permitted to transact bust
ness in this state. The st. Paul
company refused to comply with this
enactment, alleging it's RICH to dc
business during the year 1908 by vir,
tue of it's certificate issued for that
year prior to the passage of the de-
posit act. The company through its
attorney, cited a decision of the sup
rene court of New York to substan
, tate it's position and was further sup
, ported in it's right to continue bust
ness for the remainder of the year b.
an opinion of the assistant attorne4
t general. The attorney general
however, did not concur in these de
cisions, but authorized the commits
sioner of insurance to revoke the Ger
tifcate of authority Of the st. Pau
Hail and Cyclone company, whic]
authorization was promptly compiled
with and this company has no lega
u right to solicit business in this state
Just what the next move of the com

WILL TEST SHIELDS LAW.
Supreme Court Will be Asked to Pass on

The validity of the Shells law,
which regulates the matter of drug
gists' permits in the state, is to be
tested by the North Dakota Pharma-
ceutical association, and the supreme
court will be asked to rule on this
important matter.
The new law will be in full force
and effect on and after July /, and
according 10 opinions furnished by
prominent attorneys non Of the state
druggists can be in possession Of per-
mits to sell 1ntoxicants during the
month of July. It requires thirty
days to secure a permit from the pro
bate court and it is held that appli-
cations for such permits can not be
made under the new law before July
list.
In securing permits under tho ole
law it required a petition with the
signatures of rs women residing ii
a city. Under the Q law 70 PEI
cent of the women residing in tn
ward in which tt drug store il
located is required. 1t is OF thi

law and is expected that prompt steI
will be taken in order to get a dc

TERRIBLE DEVASTATION.
Judge Says it Was Worse Thar
the Johnstown Flood.

Kansas City, June Baldwin T.
Devine, general secretary Of the
charity organization society OF New
York, left today for Denver, after
having made a critical inspection of
the flooded district around Kansas
City. He describes the conditions at
Armourdale, the Kansas City, Kas.,
suburb, as worse than those following
the floods at Johnstown an Galveston.
He said:
"Armourdale is the worst wrecked
city I have ever seen. The news
papers could not exaggerate the condi-
tion there. In fact it cannot be de.
scribed 80 a person who has not seen
the ruin can realize the awful devas-
tation by the waters. I had read
about the food and thought of course
that the condition of Armourdale was
bad, but I was not prepared for what
I saw. I was at the Johnstown flood
and I also made a study of the terrible
disaster that visited the city of Gal.
weston, but the condition of Armour.
dale is much more serious than at
either of those cities. East St. Louis
is suffering and 10, 900 people are
homeless, but the loss there will not
begin to compare with that il
Armourdale.'
MI. Devine has wired Mayor Low
at New York that immediate aid il
the largest quantities possible will b.
required to alleviate the distress O.

City, Kas.
