been printed. It is to be really an en-
cyclopedia Of the Indian tribes. It is
impossible to separate the aborigines
of the two countries, because they have
never known boundary, and since the
beginning Of history certain tribes have
lived on both sides Of that imaginary
line. The two volumes VIII contain
practically all that we know concern
ing the North American Indians.
Special attention has been given to
dian origin that have been adopted into
the English language. All the tribal
organizations will be defined and the
history Of each will be given. In many
cases there are several names for the
same tribe The early literature relat-
ing to the American Indians, and much
Of it down to the present day, is. con
fusing and inaccurate. The need of
a comprehensive work, by which words
might be applied in their proper places,
has been felt ever since the scientific
interest in the Indians was first aroused.
The forthcoming handbook is intended
to supply that need. It will include
the origin and meaning Of all Indian
words that have been adopted into the
English language, and there are many
Of them in common use, such as eau.

The Spelling Bee.

The editor of The Adrian Democrat a
few weeks ago commented upon the de-
plorable spelling found in some of the
public schools of today. His remarks
have brought forth communication
from an old subscriber who goes on to
say: eff asked to name reason for
bad spelling, we would first go back
of the pupil, back of the teacher to the
home. A generation ago we studied
the old McGuffey speller. Spelling was
taught as separate branch. A reason
able number of words were assigned, and
the pupils took their books home and
studied their spelling lesson of all 9TH
ers. Some older member of the family
would line the youngsters up and the
lesson would be given out. The next
day at school the class would be called
up, toe the mark, and the most interest
ing lesson of the day was on. The boy
or girl who could work his way to the
head of the class in the least time, was
the envy of the school, and all but
lunk-heads studied hard to excel
Matches between classes and rooms, and
in the country between schools were
held at intervals. The result was a
crop of good spoilers. The system of
writing the spelling lesson brought more
work for teacher, if not properly handled
and practically no result for the pupil
The interest at home died out, and there
is but little wonder that we have so few
good spoilers in our schools at this
time. The old fashioned spelling bee
was valuable adjunct to the public
schools"

HELP THE MAIL CARRIER
Some Suggestions That Will Aid the
Rural Route Man.

|
By many it is now realized how much
more difficult and trying the work of
the rural letter carrier is made by hav
| ing to stop at number of places on his
route, delaying him and benumbing his
hands with the cold at every such place
to gather up pennies from the box, left
there in the place of stamps for outgo-
ing mail.
Attention is called by them to this in
the following:
Patrons of the Rural Mail Service:
Winter means cold weather. Your
mail carrier is out in the cold from five
to seven hours, riding from twenty to
thirty miles a day, and is in need of
your consideration.
With cold fingers it is hard to pick
pennies out of your box.
Kindly buy a supply of stamps and
keep on hand to affix to your letters
when mailed.
SelecC, as Tar as you can, pieasdnC
days for your money orders and regis
tered letters, and also the buying of
your stamps.
Bear in mind these suggestions and
you will greatly oblige your
CARRIER.
Patrons are requested also to shovel
the snow away from the boxes SO that
the carrier can drive up to them easily.
Also clean the boxes of snow.

WELSH C. E. WORKERS.
They Hold Convention at Lake Crys-
tai This Week.

Lake Crystal on Wednesday and
Thursday was honored with the annual
convention of the Christian Endeavor So
cieties of the Welsh c. M. churches of
Minnesota, Iowa and South Dakota.
Delegates who arrived there We're not so
numerous as had been expected mas
much as the severe blizzard kept many
away. Yet the attendance was very
large, as Lake Crystal and the sur
rounding country supplied plenty of
interested Welsh people to fill the seat
ing capacity of the Welsh c. NJ. church
in that village, where the convention was
held. Officers were elected for the ensu-
ing year: Moderator, Rev. Hugh Owen,
Ottawa; secretary, Reese Jones, Ottawa;
treasurer, Griffith Jones, Lime Springs.
1t was determined to hold the next
convention, that of 1905, at Ottawa.
On Wednesday afternoon reception
was given to the delegates. On Wednes-
day evening, Rev. w. E. Evans of Man
kato preached. On Thursday morning
the children's meeting was held. In the
afternoon the regular meeting was re-
sumed and papers were read and dis
cussed on various lines of Christian
Endeavor work. In the evening the con-
vention was closed with conservation

SUIT FOR LIBEL.
One st. Peter Baker Sues the Other
for So 900 Damages.


for $4,000 Damages.
From Tuesdays Daily.
T. Roebke, formerly of North Mankato
but now engaged in the bakery business
in st. Peter, has commenced suit in
the district court of Nicollet county
against the rival baker for $1,000 dam
ages for alleged libel. He has retained
w. r. & c. d. Geddes as his attorneys.
1t appears that when he embarked in
the business, st. Peter had just one
baker, Mrs. L. L. Farver, wife of F. w.
Farver. Mr.. Roebke got out some hand
bills in September last announcing that
he would start a wagon and that he
would handle home made bread, which
was more desirable than bakers bread.
This angered Mrs. Farver and she in
serted an advertisement in The St.
Peter Herald, in which personal at
tack on Mr.. Rookie was made, certain
accusations being made against him.
The paper afterwards published state
ment from the editor saying that the
advertisements had gone in without his
notice expressing his regret.
Mr.. Roebke has brought the action for
libel jointly against Mrs. Farver and
her husband.
