..Freelxles.. by Gene StrattonPorter.
 Published by Doubleday Page x Co.
 "Freekles may sound like queer ti- tie for the name of book, but after one has read it and knows the significance of the cosnomen 1t soon appears pecu- liarly appropriate. In "Freckles 6ene Stratton- P ,rter, author of The Song Of the Cardinal" has written charming little romance full of the vigor and freshness of outdoor life. She takes his readers away from the trite hack neyed scenes of ordinary fiction and writes story unique in conception and captivating in theme.
 "Freekles is a worthy representative Of that large class of human beings who find themselves in life without any apparent hope or promise of the future. He happens, weary and worn, upon the camp of a Dir lumber company in Indi- ana and by his grit and perseverance secures lhe interest of the manager owner and place to work as well.
 What Is your name. asked Mir. Me- Lean.
 "Freckles,' said the boy
 Good enough for every day, laughed Mclean, but I can scarcely put Freekies on the companys books Tell me your name."
 T haven't any name" replied the boy.
 q don't understand" said Mclean.
 T was thiskng from 1he voice and the face of you that you wouldn't, said Freckles slowly
 I've spen, more time on it than l ever did on anything else in all me life, and 1 don't understand. Does it seem to you that any one would take a newborn baby and row oyer it until it was bruised black, cut off its hand, and leave 1t out in bitter night on the steps of a char ty home, to the care of strangers? That Is what somebody did to me"

"The Queens Advocate" by Arthur w.
 Marchmont. Published by Frederick
 A. Stokes Company.
 A. w. Man chmont may be trusted al- ways to give the reader a story that lg readabl ani diverting and many read CTS there be, as we know, who demand no more. He will be remembered as the author of tWhen 1 was Czar," an im- probable but interesting romance. "The Queens Advocate is similar and in 1t we have the same dash and spirit of adventure good style and clever con- struction The conversation in the for mer book was especially distinctive and in this respect the present story falls short. The author usually places his scenes in foreign lands and this time he has selected Austria His heroine too, is a foreigner and a princess and thls af- fords the necessary opportunity for in- trigue and fnesse. No other could fill so well the requirements of the authors fertile imaginings as an American and so the resourceiul hero halls from that en- terprising land. The scene shifts to Bel grade and the court life of the beautiful capital, including the swift and pict- uresque revolutions which so recently upset the throne of Servia.
 The story is simle but smoothly and interestingly told, and the love element is compelling and full of human inter- est.

A Sharp Boy Farmer.

What can be done with one very
small potato has Just been shown
by a sharp, perservering boy far
mer down in Connecticut, says
Mae Arson Harris in The j Journal
Junior. As a Joke he was given
one small potato, and thepromise
made that he could have all he
could raise from it until he was
OF age. The boy cut it into as
many pieces as there were eyes,
and kept the crop for seed. Year
by year after that his crop grew
until the fourth harvest gave
him 400 bushels. Then the
grown up farmer called halt and
asked for mercy, because ii the
increase kept on at the same rate
until the boy was ofage, itwould
require all OF his land just for
the potatoes grown from that
one tiny potato he had given
him as a joke.-Ex.

Dresher's Wheat Averaged Well.

G. f. Dresher, who lives half a
mile south of Surrey, threshed
1890 bushels OF wheat in one
day from Sc acres and sold his
entire crop of about 3,4O0 bush
els for Sill per bushel. The
wheat averaged on the whole be-
tween % to 26 bushels per acre.
There is no doubt some which
went 30 bushels. On the aver
age he received for his crop
$2s.S6 per acre or there abouts.
This will net him above all ex-
penses more than $40 per acre.
This is record OF but one OF the
thousands of excellent yields all

High School Notes.

The classes on the differen t
studies have Just commenced to
find school smooth sailing"
since nearly every one has ar
ranged his program so to avoid
any contlicts. Some of the Seniors
are a little Inconvenience in
that way. But it may be that
the interests Of Physics willprove
SO attracting that they will de-
eide in favor of the Physics class.
The desire for a school paper
has been expressed by Professor
Wolfe and it is sow up to the
students to carry out, to the best
of their ability. the Professors
suggestion. There was a time
when the Minot High School had
a paper of two pages, but if our
more modest fellow workers
think we can manage but one,
let us do that. The magazine
form has also been suggested,
ana 1T may, IN the END, prove TO
be the best. Atany rate, a school
paper certainly should be had
and before half the year is past.
During the past week much
progress has been made towards
the organizing Of classes. Owing
to the difference in the sizes Of
the classes the Freshmen and
Juniors have united in one class
while the Sophmores and Seniors
form the other. Monday night
at 4 p. m. the Freshmen and
uniors held their first class
meeting in the recitation room
and on the following evening the
Sophmores and Seniors. The
e1ecting of officers together with
the selecting OF committees to
look after the literary and social
interests took up most OF the
time and all adjourned with the
firm desire to show that "other
classes" how really insignificant
it is.

worth $3O.S4 per acre while the

and the difference would be more
in favor OF the macaroni during
