CHRISTIAN SCIENCE LECTURE.

Mrs Sue Harper Minis, c. S. d., of
Atlanta, Ca, will deliver lecture on
Christian Science at the opera house to-
night, commencing at S:l5. The lecture
will be given under the auspices of
First Church of Christ, Scientist, of this
city, is free, and the public is cordially
invited.
Mrs. Minis has lectured on this sub
iect in many of the principal cities of
the United States. The following is
taken from the Atlanta (Ga) Constitu-
ton, of Dec. 14th, 1903:
Before an audience that filled the
Grand opera house yesterday afternoon
December 13l, Mrs Sue Harper Minis
held the closest attention of her hearers
for more than an hour on the beauties
and beliefs of Christian Science
In yesterdays lecture she unquestion-
ably struck a deeper note than was
even anticipated, as many told the
ushers they wanted to sit far back, as
they had only dropped in for a few
moments. These, because they became
greatly interested, remained until after
Mrs. Minis had finished speaking; and
many there were who stopped to talk
the matter over among themselves and
ask questions as to where they could
learn more regarding this subject that
had been so clearly presented
Mrs. Minis was introduced to the
audience by her husband, Major Minis,
in his usual graceful, easy and felici-
tous STYLE"

DECLAMATORY CONTEST

Last Friday evening was a very inter-
esting one in the history of our high
school; it was the occasion of the de-
clamatory contest between the high
schools OF Merrill, Wausau, Grand Rap
ids and Stevens Point The assembly
room of the high school was well filled,
mostly with young people, though the
merits of the event warranted larger
attendance of our citizens. Owing to
the evening train from Merrill being
late the contest did not commence until
about $50 O'clock, but those present
were delightfully."- entertained by the
high school orchestra, of which Arthur
Lamont is leader Arthur also favored
those present with several violin solos,
which added very much to the pleasure
of the evening. There were eight con-
testants, as follows
The Gyspy Flower Girl Mable Downie, Merrill
How the La Roux Stakes Were Lost. 49,.
Marguerite Voyer, Grand Rapids
............ Rosalia Wippernan, Grand Rapids

The Cyclopeedy Myrtle Young, Stevens Point
Connor. -. ............-. Mary Mcneil, Wausau

.................C Chester Crosse, Stevens Point
The Gypsy Flower Girl. =. Elsie Dupre, Wausau
There was, besides, song by ABOUT
dozen young men of the high school,
under the direction of Supt. Mathie,
which was so persistently enchored that
they sang a second time.
Those who took part in the contest
did themselves, as well as the schools
which they represented, great credit.
Supt. G.. e. Parlin, who presided, had
no trouble in keeping perfect order
At the outset he requested that there be
no applause after each recitation, but
there was a crowd of enthusiastic young
men of the high school, who could not
contain themselves, so they had to give
vent to their feelings, but slight tap
of the bell by Mr. Parlin brought about
instant order. This same crowd of
young men made the assembly hall ring
with the high school yell at the close of
the contest. The judges decided in ia
vor of Miss Mary Mcneil for first place
and Miss Elsie Dupre for second, (both
young ladies of this city and members
of the high schooD and Miss Mamie
Hoegh, of Merrill, third. The names
of the judges and their markings can
be found in the High School Notes. of
this issue of the PILOT.
At the close, reception was given
in the gymnasium, in honor of the Wis
iting guests, where light refreshments
were also served. Among those present
from out of the city were

ews, SERVER, Nina and Elisha Smith,

Work of Merit.

One day traveller came to well,
where he dismounted, fastened his
animal to a pin and satisfied his
thirst. AS he returned to his ami
NAL it occurred to him that it would
be a ''savab' (work of merit) to
leave the pin behind for other trav-'
elers who might wish to tether their
beasts. The next to arrive was a
man on foot, who, being very thirsty
and in hurry, fell over the pin.
This man threw the pin down the
well, 50 as to prevent any one else
from having a similar accident. A
learned man in the district was ask

He answered, "Both, for their inten-

way the famous secondhand book
shop Of James Stillie when he Tau
into fuming old gentleman who
was leaving the establishment. The
latter calculated in an augry tone,
''Man, can you not look where you
are going!" Stevenson rrologized
for his awkwardness AMI was then
confronted by Mr.. Stillie, who was
also excited The bookseller ex-
claimed: "The creature has been
trying to make out that an old book
I sold him is spurious!. He may be
able to write, but he knows nothing
about black letter books. He's the
1Host disagreeable customer that
ever entered my shopp
"Who is hep" asked Stevenson.

LOADED UP IN VAIN.
A Speech That Sumner Didn't Get an
Opportunity to Deliver.

II waI function Of the judiciary
committee of the senate. Of which
Senator Trumbull was the chair
man, to attend 10 the furnishing of
the old senate chamber with busts
Of eminent judges who had sat on
the supreme bcHch. In the dis
charge Of this Office Senator Trum-
bull offered a resolution in the SEN
ate that a bust Of the late Chief
Justice Tancv should be placed
there along with the busts Of his
predecessors. lmmcdiatcl y Mr.. Sum
ncr warmly objected to this meas
ure on the ground that Tancv's de-
ciSion made in the bred Scott case
il decision generally obnoxious to
people hostile TO slayery-was too
offensive and infamous to render it
fit to grant this honor to its author.
Trumbull in telling this story smiled
as he said that it had seemed to him
that even if Tancy might have
fallen into Il legal error or been cx-
tremely blamcworthy it might still
be natural to want to see how he
looked.
The fire ot Mr.. Summers protest,
however, led to postponcncnt of
the resolution. Trumbull observed
that Sumner speedily went TO work
TO hunt up in the Congressional Ii
brary and to bring from its shelves
book after book on the lives and
misconduct of iniquitous judges in
the past and to deposit them in a
huge pile by his desk in the senate
chamber, his intention being to
draw from these some illustrations
of detcstable judicial decisions, the
authors of which might be seen in
the pillory and classcd with the
judge who presided in the Dred
Scott case. After waiting for the
Objectionable resolution to be called
up for action Mr.. Sumner, who had
taken time enough to compose an
elaborate philippe, inquired of
Trumbull when the resolution
would be called up anew. To this
question an evasive reply was made
then and perhaps more than once.
The upshot of the incident was that
no opportunity was given to deliver
the harangue which Mr.. Sumner had
been laboriously getting ready to
fortify from the contents of the pile
of books at the side of his desk.
After the gun had been loaded with
so much painstaking no chance
was afforded to discharge it.-Dr.
George P. Fisher in Scribner's.
