A few APPROPRIATE DOA'TS
For the Parents Of ChildPon AZ.
tending School.

Do not tell the teacher that Willie
or Johnnie will not lie. She probably
knows better.
Do not plead lack of time to visit
the school. There is no excuse for
sinking duty.
Do not expect the teacher to man
age without friction child you have
never been able to control.
Do not forget that the parents owe
a duty to the teacher just as surely as
the teacher does to the child.
Do not believe all your children tell
you about school. There meyer was
but one George Washington and he Is
dead.
Do not forget that the teachers
interest in your Guild Is personal.
She will do more to help him than
any except yourself.
| Do not condemn the teacher with
out fair hearing. This Is accorded
even the worst criminal There are
usually two sides to story.
Do not reproach the teacher with
the fact that "Tommy has not learned
single thing the entire year" She
is not to blame for his lack OF brains.
Do not send verbal request to the
teacher to have Johnnie's seat chang
ed. There is often no vacant seat
and one change usually means half
a dozen.
Do not send scathing note to the
teacher by Nellie, the contents OF
which she knows. Her aggressive
look Of triumph is not soothing, and
the teacher is only human.
Do not make unfavorable comments
upon the methods of the teacher 10
the presence OF the child. Send him
to carry in the wood while you are
doing so IL 1t must be done.
Do not expect the teacher to under
stand Johnnie's disposition the first
day. You have studied it for six
years and there are still kinks In Il
which you have failed to straighten
out.
Do not fail to make allowances for
slight exaggeration when hearing OF
pranks at school. They strive to
stimulate the imagination at school,
nowadays, but hardly In that direc.
tion.
Do not accuse the teacher OF undue
favoritism. II she is kinder to one
child than to another IL Is because
that one does not take advantage OF
the liberty allowed him. This 10
simple justice.
Do not insist that the teacher Is
keeping your child back through spite.
She will not risk her reputation 40 an
instructor to crafty a personal
grudge, however disagreeable child
may be.-Ex.

GONE UP IN SMOKE.
Fire Destroyed the Langdon Laundry
Saturday Night-Total Loss.


Fire destroyed the property of the
Langdon steam laundry at the west end
of Spruce street last Saturday night
The loss includes the apparatus and
as we'll as the building and
is only covered by insurance to the
extent of $1,000, while the property
destroyed represents to its owners an
investment of at least $1,000. 1t was at
about twelve o'clock, just after the
electric lights had gone out that the
darkness of the overhanging cloudy
night was lit up by flames that lit
up the entire west side of the town.
The location of the building and the
progress the fire had made before dis
covery rendered all efforts to save the
building futile. The laundry furnished
fuel for the flames for about an hour
and from its isolated position at nc
time endangered surrounding property
The laundry it is understood will be re.
built, but as regard to the site of its
new quarters nothing is definitely
settled. In the meantime Manager
O'Reiliy is seeing that none of bis
patrons suffer inconvenience.

UNIQUE POLITICAL SUIT.
Lawyer Butler Lamb Wants $1,000
Damages From Balfour Statesman.

Attorney Butler Lamb, who has been
visiting with Langdon acquaintance
during the week, has recently started
legal proceedings for the securing of
$1,000 from the editor of the Balfour
Statesmen. There are connected with
the suit points which raise questions of
law that are seldom brought up in
court and give it a political import that
will be of interest to the outsider as we'll
as the lltigants in the suit. Attorney
Lamb is new comer in McHenry
county and took dip into politics by
becoming a delegate to the republican
county convention. The Statesman
charged him with obtaining his seat in
the convention by fraud. The editor
now explains that the statement was
based on his impression that man is
not Citizen of a place until he has
had six months residence. The editor
has since been studying up his law
books and finds he was mistaken, and
that although q man cannot take part
in caucus until he comes an elector
he has right to take in a county con-
vention.

Langdon Performers at Osnabrock- Con-
cert Highly Praised,

In its columns of society doings last
week the Osnabrock Independent shows
that it had full -hedged journalistic
at the concert given at
the Opera House at that place on Fri
day evening, the 18th. Langdon people
generally will appreciate the generous
words of praise bestowed on those who
went from here to take part in the
evenings performance. We feel it a
pleasure and privilege to reproduce the
following paragraphs:
Mrs. and Miss Dorval opened the en-
tertainment for the evening with a
classical piano duet.
Among the members from Langdon,
Mrs. Brooks showed rare ability as a
pianist. She favored us with two
beautiful selections, graciously respond
ing to hearty encore after the last
one.
In rich contralto voice Miss Alberta
Dorval sung ''The Burning Iroquois" 1t
was very pretty indeed, as was also the
duet sung by Mrs. Broghamer and Miss
Dorval
All too short was "The Better Land"
sung by Judge Dorval and the duet
by Messrs. Dorval and Blakely brought
down the house.
In the absence of Mrs. Tyrell, Mr..
Blakely was kind enough to sing solo.

DEATH OF MARY McDoUGALL
The Grim Reaper Ends the Suderings of
Popular Langdon Young Lady.

Early Tuesday morning death came
and claimed Miss Mary Eva McDougall,
the youngest daughter of Mrs. Sarah
McDougall. Day after day for the past
three weeks the people of Langdon
have felt and realized that the skill of
physicians and tender care of loved ones
was of but little avail in bringing the
sufferer back to health and strength.
Seldom if ever has there been death
in this community which has excited
the sympathy of the people more than
the death of Mary McDougall. 1t
seems few days since she was enjoy
ing the best of health greeting her
friends, nearly everyone in Langdon, at
the post office, where she has been en-
ployed over two years. Little reason
had those who met and talked with her
SO short time ago to think that no more
should they look upon that face as they
then did. She was in her twenty first
year, young, beautiful, vivacious and
generous of heart. The death of the
daughter comes as trying and severe
blow to the widowed mother and
members of the family, who will long
continue to miss the combined fresh.
ness, simplicity and cheerfulness in the
life of their loved one. The funeral is
being held this afternoon from the
residence west of town and will be
quite generally attended by the people
Of Langdon and vicinity. The DEMO
Graf join with the wide circle of friends
in expressing heartfelt sympathy to the
broken hearted widowed mother and
other members of the family.

ORDINATION SERVICES.
Rev. Guy P. Burleson Ordained at Grand
Forks Yesterday by Bishop Mann.

Rev. Guy P. Burleson, who has had
charge of the Episcopal church for the
past two months, was ordained at St.
Paul's church in Grand Forks yester-
day morning, by Rt. Rev. Bishop Mann,
of the Episcopal diocese of North Da-
kota. The ordination sermon was de-
livered by Rev. Allan Burleson, of Santa
Rosa, CAL, the eldest brother of Mr.
Burleson.
Rev. H. L. Rurleson, Fargo: Rev. Ed
ward w. Burleson, Jamestown, and
Rev. j. X. Burleson, Grand Forks, and
Rt. Rev. Bishop Edsall, of Minnesota
took part in the ordination services.
Probably the most interested spectator
of the solemn service was Mrs. Burle-
son, the aged mother of the five Burle-
son brothers, the youngest of whom was
ordained. Rev. Burleson, the father OF
the five brothers, all of whom have
chosen church work, was for the last
eight years of his life an Episcopal
missionary in southern Wisconsin.
