Captured a $3.50 Prize.

Assistant Postmaster A. A. Crawford
amused himself a few months ago by
submitting solution to puzzle in q
contest offered by the Boston Brown
Book. The puzzle itself was not diff
cult Almost anyone could have sent in
a correct answer. With the answers,
however, were to be sent twenty five
words descriptive of the city of Manila.
On the merit of the latter the contests
were to be decided if the answers to the
puzzle were found correct.
A few days he received word that the
committee selected by the publishers of
the Brown Book had awarded him one
Of the prizes This week he received a
check for two hundred fifty dollars in
full payment of the prize awarded. The
successful contestants were given their
choice between that amount and six
weeks European trip with all expenses
paid.
The twenty-five words submitted were
illustrated by three miniature sketches
carrying out the thought expressed in
the words, and were as follows:
"Hot are the days In Manila,
Warm her brown citizens look;
But the GOODNESS Of culture is coming

Bryant School Burned.

The Bryant school caught fire about
9 O'Clock Monday morning and is prac-
tically total loss, nothing being left of
the building but two blackened walls.
Janitor M. A. Halstead built hot fire
at four o'clock in the morning, and
went home to breakfast. Before he
got back, flames were issuing from the
cupola, which fell in about $50, almost
burying four firemen who were in the
building with line of hose.
There were six rooms in the building,
accommodating 246 pupils. and these
have been distributed among the Union
chapel, the basement of the Asbury
church, the Washington and Central
schools. The building was insured for
$1,000, of which $6, 600 was in Kinnes
agency, and 81, 900 in Jackson's agency.
The structure was of brick veneer,
and had been built piecemeal, two rooms
being put at time The loss is $1O,-
600 to $4,000. How the fire started is
mystery. Over heating from the hot
fire is one solution. &
The sentiment of the school board is
to leave the rebuilding of the Bryant
until next spring, when it could be
completed before September. The new
school will undoubtedly have eight
rooms, instead of six as formerly.

The Country Store.

ia know 1t by the sight OF 1t. I'd know 1t by
the smell;
I'd know IL by the sound of 1t, and know II
mighty well..
I'd know 1t II you set me down at midnight
mid the scent
or coffee bags and sugar bins and country but
ter blent.
With eyes shut, can smell again the prints
upon the shelf
Amid the hickory shirting-you could do the
same yourself
II you had lived among them in the days when
life was bleak
And all you saw was In the town-say. every
other week.
On that side Is the candy-I can see it now,
and oh,
How good those striped sticks used to look in
days of long ago!
On this side is the muslin, with blue trade
marks printed on,
The bleached and unbleached side by side; and
here's some sleazy lawn
And dimity that wouldn't sell (they'd bought it
by mistake);
Some backing, fans and currycombs, with hoe
and garden rake.
We used to carry in the eggs and butter, and
we'd buy
Oar sugar, tea and bluing and the concentrated
lye.
We used to wander back into the small room
where they kept
The 'coal oil" and the axle grcase-'twas
hardly ever swept,
But there it was we found the scales and weigh
ed ourselves and said
1t wasn't like the steelyards out in our old
wagon she'd
Twas there that in the sprirgtine pa would
buy us all straw hats
The 10 cent kind. made out OF straw they use
for making mats.
In fall we got our footgear that must last the
winter through,
For pa SAID, "Them's yer winter boots-ye've
got t. make 'em do" ''
I've been in houses mercantile that covered
blocks and blocks;
I've seen the clerks that swarmed around in
bevies and in focks;
I've seen the elevators: but cannot make it
Like anything substantial for lis nothing but
O dream,
To me the real ''store" will be, as long as life
shall last
That smelly country village place l knew
there in the past.
With just one clerk to sell you tbings-some
fellow that you knew,
Though sometimes on circus day there'd be
as high as two.
No. fun to do tn tradin' =" like I used to, any

How clear is memorys picture of that "gen'ral"

transfers, so that he can make assess
ments to the proper owners on all de-
scriptions.

Mrs. Josephine M. Gould recently re-
ceived from Rev. w. s. Ament, of
Peking, China, tender message of
sympathy upon the death of her hus-
band, L. f. Gould. We are permitted
to print part of the letter, which we
are sure will be of interest to all our
readers.
Referring to Mr.. Gould, Mr.. Ament
writes:
He was indeed good man and one
whom Owosso and our beloved church
could i'll spare His interests were alb
solutely universal. There was no theme
in which he did not manifest an intelli-
gent interest. He was one of the few
in Owosso who knew something of for

which went beyond the confines of his

At the center of the campus of the
University. of Michigan stands the
library building. 1t is a broad, compact
structure with an individuality the
most striking of any building connected
with the work of the University.
The north end is built in the shape OF
a large semicircle, whose brick wall is
broken only by row of little windows
close under the caves of the conical
roof. On either side are wings contain
Ing the, entrances and cloakrooms
These are surmounted by square towers
in one of which is situated the clock
xnd the familiar campus chimes.
The south extension of the building is
four stories high. The upper floor,
lighted by skylight which extends the
whole length of the building, isoccupied
by the Art Gallery, and the three re-
manning stories comprise the book
room. The building was dedicated
Dec. 10, 1883, and has been twice en-
larged since that date to accommodate
the library's growth.
Six rooms are required for shelving
books, besides the large number of
volumes which are kept in the reading
room for reference. The general read
ing room contains desks and chairs fol-
the accommodation of over 300 persons,
and an individual electric light is pro-
-vided for each. Two smaller seminary
rooms in secluded parts of the building
provide desks for $50 more students
who are doing advanced work. Here
they are able to study with the neces
sary books always at hand.
This building does not contain all the
libraries of the University, but only
those known as the general library and
the medical and engineering collections
The libraries of the other professional
departments are housed in their re.
spective buildings
The total number of volumes in all OF
the libraries of the University was at
the close of the fiscal year, last June,
1872, $50, besides 1000 pamphlets and $3.50
maps. 1t has grown to this size from
the modest collection of 1000 volumes
which the University possessed when it
was opened to students in 1S41.
The card system of classification is
used in the general library. A refer

AS is well known, DR.. Hartman is the
president of The Hartman Sanitarium,
an institution which has department
devoted exclusively to the treatment of
female diseases. He is thus brought to
see thousands OF such cases every year,
the most of whom return to their homes
to be treated by correspondence. The
principal remedy he relies upon in such
cases is Peruna, which every woman
should have who has any affection of
this kind. Those wishing to become

DEDICATION SERVICE.
Christian Church at Whites
vile Scene of Cere-
f1l0ny.

Thousands OF people thronged to
Whitesville Sunday to attend the ded
ication of the new Christian church.
Special trains were run to accommo-
date those who desired to witness the
solemn aud impressive ceremonies
and all were crowded to their capaci-
ty. The country around Whitesville
contributed a large share of Its popu-
ulation and probably never before
was there such a mammoth gathering
In the place as marked this event.
The newley dedicated church Is one
of the finest In the state belonging to
the Christian denomination and is
the handsomest protestant house of
worship In Daviess county outside OF
Owensboro. The program of the day
was lengthy and elaborate and was
rendered with much enthusiasm, the
numerous crowd participating in
much of the numbers.
DR.. r. H. Cross6eld preached the
dedlcatory sermon. The church was
packed with people until not one
more could get In, and then three
fourths of the crowd was on the out
side, many of them crowding about
the doors and widows to hear what
was said. The sermon, which was
one OF the most powerful ever deliver
ed In Whitesville, produced profound
impression.
