secretary, before he got wei acquainted,
he paid little attention to the people he
did not know. One day member of the
cabinet called on Secretary Gage and was

to President Mckinley, and the president
mentioned it to Secretary Gage, who
thereupon rcprimanded Vanderlip.
THE next day. Vanderlip turning over
q new leaf, one OF the first persons to
enter was a distinguished looking old fell
low with a partriarchal beard. Ianderlip
received him with great consideration,
handed out chair, which the old fellow
took with gravity and some wonderment.
Seating himself opposite, Vanderlip asked,
with a most engaging smile, What can

Sixtus VS. Salad.

When Pope Sixtus V. was an obscure
monk he had a great friend in GER
tain lawyer who sunk steadily into pow
erty while the monk rose to the papacy.
The poor lawyer journeyed to Rome
to seek aid from his old friend, the pope,
but he fell sick and told his doctor to
let the pope know of his sad state. II
will send him salad" said Sixtus, and
duly dispatched a basket of lettuce to
the invalid. When the lettuce was ex-
amined money was found in the hearts.
Hence the Italian proverb Of a man in

Far Above Previous Record.


The height of the food In the Marais

was IS feet above low water mark. This
is six feet higher than any previous
record. The territory between Ottawa
and Rantoul was extensively given to
raising potatoes. The crop was ready
to dig, but is a total loss. Parties who
are familiar with the outlook before
the flood estimate this loss alone at
$4,000. Farm lands from q distance
Of seven miles west Of Ottawa and ex-
tending over u territory as far east
as Osawatomie have been swept bare
OF crops. In North Ottawa some Is
houses have been carried away or been
moved from their foundations. On the
east side many residences have, been
moved, and the entire territory is
strewn with wreckage.

The Oakland Normal

The subject of the lecture delivered
by Mr.. j. G.. Renninger on last Fri
day afternoon was "Public Speak
ing" Mr.. Renninger presented the
subject very forcibly, by referring to
the lives of great orators, such as
Demosthenes, Cicero and Webster,
whose works in oratory have claimed
the attention of the whole civilized
world and by setting forth the ne
cessity of cultivating the habit of
speaking in public at an early age in
life, in order to become a fluent and
an appreciated speaker. The lecturer
gave many valuable suggestions rela-
tive to this subject, one of which was
that teachers should have public eX-
ercises on holidays, such as Wash
ington's Birth Day and similar occa-
sions. The Importance of public
speaking was undoubtedly indelibly
fixed in the minds of all who heard
the lecture.
