Serious Accident
Girl a Heroine

A distressing accident happen

Saturday morning Of last week,

fifteen year old nurse girl proved
herself a heroine, though she

was polishing stove with stove
polish mixed with gasoline, and
as the stove was slightly warm
the stuff ignited. setting her
clothing on fire. The baby was
in a chair near the stove and it's
clothes were also ignited. With
her own clothing on fire she
caught the baby and carried it
into another room and out of
danger. Her screams attracted
the attention Of DR.. Sihler who
rushed down stairs, and smother
ed the flames, though not until
the brave girl was seriously
burned. Prompt attention re-
lieved her suffering, and she is
receiving every attention possi-

High School
Win a Prize

The city high school has won
the grand prize offered by the
Junior Journal for the best
results in composition and story
writing, the competition being
between the high schools Of
Wisconsin, Minnesota, South Da-
skota and North Dakota. The re-
suits are determined by the
markings of the papers sent in
by the students on the various
topics selected. The contest re-
suled in a tie between one of the
high schools of ST. Paul and that
Of this city. The judges award
ed the prize to this city, because
the work submitted showed
more originality, better literary
training and broader reading.
The pupils whose work secur-
ed the prize for this school were
Misses Juliette Shortridge, Susie
Small, Hazel Fancher and Nellie
Baldwin.
The nter-Ocean has often re-
marked the high grade of abili-
ty shown by the pupils Of the
city schools in literary work.
Occasionally some Of this work
has been published in these
columns, and / II has showed a
degree Of literary talent that is a
credit to the teachers in the
schools, and is decidedly envi-
able in the pupils.
The prize just won in compe-
tition with the high schools of
four states proves that the abili-
ty of the pupils is something to
be proud of.
1t is not so much the value of
the prize as the meritorious hon
or that is so very gratifying.
The Inter-Ocean congratulates
the chool most heartily.

The Spirit of Japan.

The Japanese as people are generally
admitted to have the keenest and subtlest
appreciation of beauty of any of the
nations. This characteristic and their
unfailiug and winning courtesy have be-
come 80 we'll known as to obscure that
other side of their character which really
is dominant-their love of their country
and their almost worship of their en-
peror. No country has more intensely
loyal and patriotic citizens. Skeptical
and careless as to religion, their pas
sionate enthusiasm centers about the
person of the emperor and the integrity
of the nation. The Shintoists, who be-
lieve in the semi-divinity of the mikado,
are not more fervently loyal than the
agnostic ruling classes. How fully this
idea of patriotism permeates all ages
and classes is shown strikingly by the
poem sent by the children of the Nate
machi public schools to the officers of
the United States ship Oregon after q
reception to 1000 of them on board.
When the children of nation exhibit
such a spirit as this, when officers COM
NIT harakiri at what they consider
national humiliation, when the soldiers
of the line break into songs of rejoicing
on receiving orders to move to the front,
that is not nation with which it Is
wise to 60 to war.-Seattle Post-ln-
telligencer.
