ROSEBUD
Rosebud, May %, 1905.

On Thursday evening although
gentle rain was falling, large num-
Der of parents and friends of the school
children assembled IN the new school
suilding to witness the closing exer-
cises. The evenings program opened
with Mrs. Butterfield at the piano and
as soon as she began playing, the door
opened and in marched the entire
school. 1t was indeed a very pretty
picture, the little girls in their pretty
white dresses and the boys in their
dark suits, with heads erect, giving
one the impression, that the powers
behind the throne thoroughly under
stood how to drill, and that the sub
.jects had both the pride and ability to
do justice to the drill. At the close of
the march the children sang the song,
H'Vacation' and it was very enjoyable,
as the voices were so sweet and musi-
cal, and the children SO thoroughly
drilled.
at the close of the song the children
marched out and little Maurice Bentall
came in to make the speech of welcome.
He lis am exceptionally bright little
man, deliberate speaker and was
heartily applauded. Following him
were the boys of Miss O'Connell' S
room in the song, "The Burlesque
Band, motion song in which they
initiated eight musical instruments in
"A manner creditable both to them
selves and their instructor. Then
little Miss Lillian McRae made her
first public appearance as piano
.soloist, playing "Sans Souci" with
that degree of perfection that her musi-
cal instructor might we'll take pride in
her. Next came little Miss Pearl Scott
who recited very effectively the pretty
Nittle poem, "Put the Children to Bed
With Kiss" The sweet voice and
,demeanor of the speaker together with
6he words and sentiment of her selec'
zion certainly furnished every parent
nresent with food for thought.
"'Columbia's Party" play by the
entire school, was one of the features
of the evening. Little Miss Margare
McRae as Columbia" did full justic,
to the character. Walter Kennedy a.
Uncle Sam" was above criticism
All the states and territories were il
attendance, and the party was CRANE
success.
- That the next number, recitation
and tableau entitled "Grandma, b.
little Miss Margaret McRae was
complete success and heartily enjoye,
was evidenced by the enthusiastic ap
piause it received. Little Miss dig;
Hammerstrom played as piano solo
Evening Song" The tiny Miss ha
an exquisite touch and her selectio
was thoroughly enjoyed and hearth
reoeived.
Miss O'Connell, who, by the bye,
q prime favorite with young, middle
aged and elderly alike, recited ''Tt
Banquet in a most creditable name

and the enthusiastic applause that
followed, even after she had left the
room certainly told a taleof affectionate
appreciation that does ones heart good
to hear. To have inspired the conf
dence of the parents as she has during
her short sojourn here, suggests to the
observer that she must have been not
only especially capable, but very con-
scientious and painstaking as we'll.
One number that certainly deserves
special mention was the lullaby
"Slumber Sea- by the little girls i'm
Miss O'Connell's room, each with a
dolly in her arms. And the tableau
at its close, where each little mother
cuddled the sleeping babe on her
shoulder, was a very pretty sight in
deed, especially when the pink light
was turned on.
Miss Bell, the principal of the school,
recited an original poem entitled
Farewell" in a very effective man.
ner. Miss Bell had been rendered the
school for another year but felt that
she would devote next year to further
study instead of returning to teach, the
| sentiment of her poem appealed strongly
| to the people with whom she is uni
versal favorite, and the applause given
her must have been very gratifying to
one as earnest and conscientious as she
has certainly proven herself to be.
The closing song by the school, en-
titled "Good Night, was very pretty
and at it's close it was very pleasing to
the on-lookers to see the parents as
they stepped forward TO- extend to the
faithful teacher those words of encour-
agement and appreciation that all of
us are so glad to hear, but sometimes,
alas, are little tardy in saying. The
school room was very prettily decor
ated, and the profusion of flowers was
all that was needful for the especial
occasion. Mrs. Egan kindly loaned
her piano for the occasion, and Mrs.
Buttertield was the accompanist of the
evening.
On Friday evening the friends of the
young ladies who have been teaching
here, gave dance as a goodbye tc
them, after their years work and be.
fore they should leave for their sum-
mer rest. The dance, a delightfully."-
! cordial affair, was held in the dining
, room of "Hotel Kennedy" while in the
room of 1.-THE Cottage Hotel" was
laid dainty spread by the mothers O
the town. The grand march was lee
| by the teachers and was quite the fea
ture of the evening. Everyone had {

OUR SCHOOL.

The editor of The News, basing
his judgment upon what has reach
Cd his ears from patrons and pupils,
and from his own observation, does
not hesitate to say that the term
Of the Canyon City school now
about to close has been a success
from every point Of view.
The present board of trustees
has labored faithfully and well.
Not only through its zeal and care
have we acquired commodious
and substantial school edifice,
but we have secured a faculty
Of teachers from superintendent
down that towns much larger than
Canyon City might well be proud
of. The News is of the opinion
that this good work SO well begun
and carried thus far by the present
Board should 90 on and that every
outgoing member who is willing to
serve US another term as trustee
should be returned as such in to-
morroW's election. The town owes
them this much in appreciation Of
the tasks they have already &C
complished and besides, it is good
business policy to let well enough
alone.
The News has no lake to grind"
in this matter and in maintaining
this position is only doing it for
what il candidly believes to be the
very best interests of Canyon
City.

MORE RAILROAD TALK.
The Quanah Tribune-Chief says
that the
FRISCO is COMING


moter of the Oklahoma Il West
ern railroad, arrived here Sun
day morning.
Mr.. Jones while here made
no secret of the fact that con.
struction work on the Frisco
will soon begin on a 200 mile
extension west of Quanah.
1t was the intention of MIR.
Jones and his friends to make a
buggy trip along the proposed
route, but the muddy roads, and
Pease river and the Wichitas
being all up, made them post
pone their trip.
Their objective point in New
Mexico the Tribune Chief tailed
to learn, but as it is a Certainty
that the new route will touch
Hale Center upon the plains, it
Is safe TO say they are bound
for either TrXico or Roswell.
1T Will be recalled that Pres
ident Ioakum two years ago
publicly stated that the Frisco
was to be extended from Quanah
to Phoenix, AriZ., hence TO the
Pacific coast. The present eX-
tension is probably small part
of the rauscontinentai line that
Is to be.
From Dr.. Wilkins and Joe
Hess, who were 10 Jones party.
II was learned that they own
block of school land OF %. 600
acres 10 Hale and Swisher cCun-
ties, which land they expect TO
become very valuable when &C
cessa bic to railroads.
The opening up of this vast
plains countrywide largest sec
ton in the United States with .
out railroad facilities-to rail-
roads marks an epoch in the
history of the West. Hale coun
" is considered the cream of
the plains. There is no better
land in Texas, and Quanah's
becoming the gateway to that
fertile and vast stretch OF coun-
try, will have the same effect on (
her as the building of the Pecos /
Valley railroad had on the /
growth of Amarillo
The Fort Worth Telegram has
the following about the cutoff /
and Belen:
Both Ell Paso and Albuquer
que are destined to lose their
prestige which attaches TO them
as mainline stations on the San
ia Fe on the way TO the coast,
when the Beleu cut off is built.
According to the latest reports
the Santa Fe and Rock Island
will use the Belen cut off for
their through traffic. The Rock
Island will use the cutoff from
Llano to Belen, leaving Ell
Paso practically on branch
line. The Santa Fe will also
use the cutoff which will bring
the traffic back to the main line,
forty miles beyond Albuquerque.
president Z. P. Ripley, of
the Santa Fee, announced that
the Eastern will be rapidly |
pushed TO completion, and that
nine tenths of the business of
the entire system would go via
Belen and Rio Puerco. A con-
nection would be completed TO
the Gulf of Mexico during 1906,
and a fast train inuagurated
from Ell Paso TO connect with
the trains from the east and
west.
Zone hundred thousand dol
lars will be used in building
shops at Belen. Ration, Las
Vegas, Belen and Gallup will
be the only division points in
New Mexico-the principal one
being at Belen.

FABLE OF THE PANSY.
The Family Of Six That Is Contained
In the Flower.

A pretty fable about the pansy is
current among French and German
children. The flower has five petals
and five sepals. In most pansies, espe-
cially Of the earlier and less highly de-
veloped varieties, two Of the petals ore
plain in color and three are gay. The
two plain petals have a single sepal,
two Of the gay petals have a sepal
each, and the third. which is the lar
gest Of all, has two sepals.
The fable is that the pansy represents
a family consisting of husband Il
wife and four daughters, two of the
latter being stepchildren Of the wife.
The plain petals are the stepchiidfen,
with only one chair; the two small,
gay petals are the daughters, with a
chair each, and the large, gay petal
is the wife, with two chairs.
To find the father one must strip
away the petals until the stamens and
pistils are bare. They have a fanclful
resemblance to an old man, with a
flannel wrap about his neck, his Shout
ders appraised and his feet in a bath
tub. The story is probably of FFench
origin, because the French call the
pansy the stepnother.

THE YELLED PROPHET.
He Was the Most Noted Impostor of
the Middle Ages.

He Was the Most Noted Impostor of
the Middle Ages.
The celebrated "veiled prophet" Of
history was a Moslem fanatic whose
real name was Haken Ibn Hashem.
He was born about the middle Of the
eighth century and became the most
noted impostor of the middle ages. He
pretended that he was an embodiment
Of the spirit of the Giving God" and,
being very proficient in jugglery (Which
the ignorant mistook for the power to
work miracles), soon drew an immense
number of followers around him. He
always wore a gold mask, claiming
that he did so to protect the mortals Of
this earth, who, he said, could not look
upon his face and live.
At last, after thousands had quilted
the city and even left the employ Of
the Caliph al Mohdi to join the fanat-
zeal movement, an army was sent
against the "veiled prophet" forcing
him to flee for safety to the castle at
Keh, north Of the Oxus. Finally, when
ultimate defeat was certain, the
prophet killed and burned his whole
family and then threw himself into the
flames, being entirely consumed except
his hair, which was kept in a museum
at Bagdad until the time Of the cru
sades. He promised his faithful fol-
lowers that he would reappear to them
in the future dressed in white and rid
ing a white horse.

Sunlight and Eyesight.

Sunlight as distinct from sun heat Is
Of benefit to human eyes. Unless re-
fracted from white cliffs or stretches
Of sand or by other means, it does not
cause any Impairment of vision. 1t IS
the natural provision Of the OF
sight and is in harmony with the nat
ural period for work and pleasure
that is, the day. So soon as we intro
d1ce artificial light we deal with that
which needs caution. A dim light in
lures vision because the eye alters its
shane to receive the feeble rays. On

will produce Inflammation Of the y
