BARLOW CHEADLE.
LYDIA ANDERSON,

We began this weeks work with ev-
cry pupil present. This is certainly
encouraging. and we trust that moth
ing will interrupt the work for the re-
mainder of the year.
1t is always encouraging to have
former students of the high school Wis
1t their alma mater. At almost every
meeting of the literary societies. sever
al such persons have been present.
Among those last Friday were Miss
Stephens, of Fort Logan, Miss Hoff
man and Mr.. Ackley. Come often.
We are glad to see you.
Within the last week in our morn
ing exercises and modern history
classes. our attention has been called
to our great national heroes. This
seems appropriate, for within the last
two weeks have occurred the birth
days of three of our greatest Ameri-
cans.
We were glad to see among the Wis
itors at rhetoricals several young men
who have never attended our high
school. We hope that the work of
our school will lead them to become in
terested and that they may become
regular members of our classes.
tests will take place Friday evening,
March 3. A small admission will be
charged. Everybody come and ell
courage your friends to DO the same.
A new feature in the sturdy of u S.
history was instituted one day last
week when, instead of the regular les
son, the whole third-year class listen
| ed to an excellent article read by Miss
pat ha NIoIy ;,,1n han il,
Canton, o., commemOrating the birth
| day of our beloved and martyred pres
| dent Jan. 81. AT the table were rep
| resentatives of our whole, broad Unit
ed States, north and south, joining
hands in keeping alive the memory
OF the great man. Among the noted
toasts we see Vice President-eect
Fairbanks, Hail to the Chief" and a
most eloquent address by Gen. Fitz
hugh Lee, who pays loving tribute
and worthy recognition to the life and
deeds of the once Major Mckinley
AS man of peace, beloved by the
SOUTH" Mckinley was one of oul
greatest men. This is the tribute Ol
a once confederate army leader and
southern sympathizer. What more be
fitting praise? The one other address
of importance was lnat Of Lieut.. Gov
Harding, of Ohio, whose toast was
Our Country" His tribute to Gen
Lee was as follows: "One who on q
foreign shore, true to his duty, takes
his stand with his cOuntry's flag ir
hand, and, though great the peril be
he bows no '--' - bends no knee.
Every bosom was aglow. GLORY tt
God in the highest, peace on earth
good will to men" was a fitting cur
tain to let fall upon such scene
The second year pupils have finish

three of Lowells shorter poems. The,

Gov. TOOle has received a message
from President Roosevelt saying tina
