DOWlE AND CARRIE NATION
In New Role-A Good Joke on Off
Gals Of New York Bank.

Through some ones neglect a new
five dollar bank note OF the Seventh
National Bank, of New York sCity,
was recently paid out at the bank
without the signatures of the presi-
dent and cashier upon it. This was
an exceptional opportunity for some
wag to get in his work which he did
by inscribing on the blank lines the
names of Carrie Nation and Alexan-
der Dowie as president and cashier.
The note was later presented to the
bank by nervous stranger, who felt
sure, after examining the signatures,
that he had been duped. The cashier
quickly comprehended how the joke
had been perpetrated, however, and
the note passed the window o. X,
without word. 1t is safe to predict
that it did not so out of the bank
again.

former. The reference works
in this course are all standard

have thus proven their high.
standing among the educational
institutions Of the northwest.
In order to know something Of
the work, the Inter-O Ocean repre-
sentative accepted the invitation
of Prof. DeWar to make an in
spection of the work. While the
merit Of the work done rests
largely on the fact that the
sytem is thorough from the
ground up, and the thorough
work done in the lower grades
lays the foundation for the sue
cess of the high school, this
article will deal entirely with
ahe high school and its work.
The enrolment is not far from
one hundred, with eighteen
bright pupils In the graduating
class. But in the grade below
are fifty two who will enter the
high school next year, and that
institution will then of necessity
occupy the entire upper floor of
the city school building.
The course in Latin covers
four years and is not only com
prehensive but the methods pur-
seed in the instruction and the
helps used are such as to fix the
great essentials In the minds Of
the pupils. A splendid library
of reference books are to be
found easy at hand in the class
