An Artistic Display.

In the school rooms of the Parochial
school is displayed one of the most
unique and artist: exhibits of work,
done by the pupils, that one seldom
sees. 1t hardly seems possible that
some OF the work exhibited could have
been the production of so young pupils.
The school rooms are completely filed
with exhibits, from the top of the
black boards to the ceiling are hung
the handiwork of the pupils. Designs
OF different kinds, maps, drawings,
animals, colored work, sewing, both
plain and fancy, needle work, en-
broidery, beautiful rest pillows, en-
broidered skirts, aprons, and nearly
all kinds OF fancy work are exhibited.
The drawings on the black boards are
very good, and many of the designs
and figures show considerable talent.
The hand writing of the pupils is ex-
ceptionally good, both in English and
German. It would be hard to find a
more uniform style of writing than
that produced by the pupils of the
school. The outline work done in
thread on cardboard is very fine.
The work exhibited is that which
has been done during the past year,
and it is certainly credit to the
teachers.

Nations Memorial Day
Appropriately Observed by
the G. A. r. Post and
w. r. c. Corps

Another Memorial anniversary has
passed and was appropriately observed
by the G. A. R. and W. r. G.
The memorial sermon was preached
by Rev. James S. Rogers of Mime
apolis> in the Congregational church
to an audience which completely filled
the building. The discourse was
principally upon the life service and
character of Gen. U. S. Grant, from
which the speaker drew many interest
ing and useful lessons. 1t was heartily
enjoyed by all present.
A double quartet rendered appro>
pirate music,
On Monday, the 50th, at 10 a. m.
an audience limited only by the
capacity of tbs Grand Opera house
enjoyed the memorial services. A
ladies quaatet rendered two selections /.
A song by the children OF the primary
grades of the public school was well
received by all, several have ex-
pressed the opinion that it was the
best ever given by the children.
The recitation, "The Old Sergeant, :"
by Miss Lewis and 'Lincoln's Gettys-
berg Speech" by Miss Greene were
both well rendered and received hearty
applause. The address by Rey. w.
K. Gray, was in keeping with the oc-
casion. 1t was an able and touching
tribute to the devotion and services Of
the soldiers of 1875.
At O'Clock the G. A. R., w. r. G.
and many of the citizens visited the
different cemeteries and decorated the
graves of the soldiers who have gone
to the ''beyond."
The following are the names of the
deceased soldiers whoes graves were
decorated by their comrades of the G.

Convention at Alexandria Last
Week was a Very Enjoy
able Occasion For all
the Members.

The Alexandria Woman s club enter
tanned the club members of the Sixth
District, M. F. w. c.. on Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday, May "a, 25
and 70, the occasion being the Third
Annual Meeting of the District.
This Intelligent and practical or
ganization first met at Sank Centre
three years ago. Mrs. E. J. Lewis
wac then honored with the presidency,
and she still holds the Office. Al that
time there were six towns in the dis
trict with combined membership of
two hundred and seventy-fve. Other
clubs have since been added, aud the
membership today is about four hum
dred.
There were sixty club members
present at Alexandria,, representing
St. Cloud, Sank Centre, Sank Rapids,
Park Rapids, Osakis, and Grey Eagle.
There were also visiting club members
from Fergus Falls and Morris, not in
cluded in the sixth district.
Although Alexandria only has one
club belonging to the Federation they
entertained with apparent ease, and
with the heartlest hospitality and
goodwill. All arrangements for the
comfort of the visitors were we'll
planned and carried out. The artistic
and beautifully decorated Congrega-
tional church, in which all the sessions
were held, is an ideal place for a
convention.
Particularly pleasant features of the
meeting was the Tuesday evening re-
ceptlon, and the sunset drive on
Wednesday.
The entire meeting was An unusually
pleasant and profitable one; largely
owing to the executive ability aud
the intelligent forethOught of Mrs. DR..

CLASS DAY
The Class of 'O4 Gave a Fine
II Progam at the Grand
Tuesday Evening

| For several years as much interest
| has been shown in the Glass Day exer-
cises as in the Graduation exercises.
This year was no exception. The
l0pera House was packed to it's utmost
tapacty, notwithstanding the fact that
La drilling rain was the order Of the
evening.
The program was good one, and
nothing occurred to mar it in any way
The exercises opened with piano
duet by Frank Robischon and Frank
SoWden, which was heartily encored,
the boys responding with another Sc
lection. The Statutory, by Lizzie Rich,
was exceptionly fine, characterized by
sound sense and delivered in
sweet, lady-like manner. Grace John
son, in giving the history of the class
for the four years Of high school life,
departed from any stereotyped form.
Her style was original, while the whole
history bristled with wit. it was free
from anything that savored of sar-
casm. The merry little digs" were
enjoyed by all.
The Glass Prophecy was written by
Tilda Forsberg and was decidedly
something new. She aud Alice
Hartley assumed to be talking over old
school days ten years after graduation,
Ssdllisg to MIND what ~as psepheeiede
Of each member of the class at that
time, and telling how far the prophecy
had proven true.
Margaret Norris is always welcomed
with her violin. Her part on the pro-
gram was violin solo, 'Cavatina"
and was a beautiful selection, and
rendered in Margaret's best style
She was very enthusiastically encored
and favored the audiance with second
selection. Fannie Norris accompanied
her on the piano.
The Class Will was opened and read
by Mabel Stark. No earthly pos
session pertaining to school life was
left out All was freely left to those
who follow, even to the good will of
the whole class of '04.
Ciaud Doyle gave the Glass Grafton,
which showed deep thought and study.
His delivery was perfect and his voice
clear and distinct. Every word was
heard to the remotest corner of the
hall,
A chorus sung by fourteen high
school girls, entitled ''Voices Of the
Wood was credit alike to them and
their musical director and instructor,
Miss Dewey, who has SO admirably
presided over the musical affairs of
the school during this year, and who.
much to the satisfaction of all, is to fill
the same position next year. This
chorus was encored and after pro.
longed applause, the girls marched
again to the platform to repeat the last
verse. Mary w, odbury was pianist.
Last, but not least Paul Hilsdale
came upon the stage and gave tie
Valedictory. His manner was easy
and natural. He has the satisfaction |
OF knowing that it was entirely unlike
any address of the kind ever given
and the loud applause testified of its
effect upon the audience.
The class of 1904 is to be congratula-
ted upon ito brilliant success thus far.
ALI are now looking forward to Thurs
day evening when the class will ap-
pear in all their glory to receive the
coveted shee pskins.
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1904-06-02

gram was carried out with due punctu-
ality, accordingly there was time for
everything, and everything was On
time.
The reports from the various clubs
and committees, telling of good ac-
complished, and of future plans, were
full of cheer and inspiration.
All the papers were excellent and
uplifting. Perhaps that of Mrs. W. L.
Stone Of Park Rapids, was the most
enthusiastically received, her subject
being: Vision, the People
Perish" Miss Robbins paper on
Books are our Household Gods"
showed marked literary talent.
The musical selections contributed
by the local talent and the clubs from
Sank Centre, Sank Rapids and
Osakis, afforded enjoyable and rest
full changes in the program. Indeed,
the Sixth District has cause to be
proud of its literary and musical
talent.
At the close of the last session Mrs.
Charlotte Barto, in her usual gracious
manner, voiced the expression of the
convention in few well chosen words.
A surprise luncheon daintlly closed
the meeting. No one can estimate the
good that has been accomplished
through this meeting-for
"We are not measured by what we
get nor by what we keep, but by what
we share"

Dragged to Death.

Harry Faville received telegram
last evening from E. c. Tolley of Ken
mare, conveying the sad intelligence
of the death of Henry Reider, step-son
of Herman Wautkee. On Tuesday
evening Mr.. Reider was dragged to
death by a horse. 1t seems that he
got tangled up in the picket rope, and
was unable to release himself.
Henry Reider is well known in the
city. He was raised here and has
hosts of friends who will regret his un-
timely death. He was about 80 years
of age. His remains will be brought
here for burial.

THE PEACE CONGRESS.

President Roosevelt's proposal to call another
international peace congress comes just at the right
time, says the Saturday Evening Post. The Russo
japanese has been watched by the civilized world
in spirit that is wholly new-a spirit that shows
how far and how rapidly the human race, under the
impulsion of steam and electricity, has moved away
from traditional ideas The civilized see as they have
never saw before that war is frightful, patrcida
The practical see as they never saw before that
is wasteful and ruinous Not through the glamor Of
glory but in the cold light Of reality appear those
myriad maimings and slaughters Men read with
aversion, and the whole race is shuddering.
Sydney Smith said that moment before Moses
struck the rock doubtless many were insisting that
there was no great demand for water. And doubt
less many now believe that there is widespread de-
mand for the abolition Of war. But there is. And
when the rock is struck at the right time and in the
right way We shall all be wondering how mankind
permitted itself so long to be dominated by passion
so bestial and 80 insane
