Just at this point in her reflections a soft
hand was laid upon her own cold one, and a
soft voice said to her: Are you all alone,
dear?" YES" she replied in Chinese The woman
knew that meant "Yes" by the nod of the head
that went with 1t, and with one protecting arm
around her said: Then with me, and
we will sit near the front, where you can see

words but she felt the love in them and the
Christmas cheer in the air, and, clinging closely
to the kind woman. she was led up the carpeted

to the unveiling, and there are souvenirs for big
persons and presents for little ones. The tree
stands all Christmas week and is viewed by
hundreds of persons. The gifts and decorations
this year are all brought from parts of Europe

Of Brazil where five children hold sway for the
week. Carolina, Mariana, Jorge. MauricIo and
Jose Nabuco will enjoy genuine American
Christmas, with the exception of the ''Nachni-

at all the Latin foreign homes. This includes
not only the manger, but the figures of the
Holy Family, shepherds and Wise Men all
made lifelike of tinted wax and grouped in atti-
tudes of alteration. -

trips were prearranged and the same
fields examined at the different stations
on each trip, and now that the grain
is about to mature, Mr.. Marshall says
that in fields sown with lightweight
seed the berry is not so plump, the yield
is lighter and the head not so large as
has been produced by the plant grown
from good seed
Barley, oats and rye are pretty well
harvested through the southern counties
and wheat harvesting is now general
there The wheat harvest will be in
full swing in all of South Dakota and
southern Minnesota by Aug. TO- North
Dakota requires ten to fifteen days
more of good weather to mature the
crop and with that kind of weather
will produce a large crop of good wheat.
There are spots along the Red river
which have been hurt by rust and
blight. but the great plains of North Da-
kota are covered with splendid crops
freer from damage, generally speaking
than are the crops of South Dakota and

LOAN FROM STATE.
School Board Complies With the Nee

from MOiludy > Ddiiy.
: There was some delay in getting a
quorum at the special meeting of the
school board Saturday nigrt. When one
was finally secured, Judge Comstock
said that the attorney general was not
satisfied with the resolution passed by
the board in making application for a
loan of state money for the purpose OF
refunding bonds, and had drawn up an
other form of resolution which he desir.
ed the board to pass. Mr.. Comstock of
fered this, and it was adopted.
On motion of Judge Comstock, it was
voted to forward ST l,5O375 to New York
to meet the interest on the high school
bonds.
Upon Mr.. Curriers' motion the presi-
dent, secretary and treasurer were au-
thorized to pay $500 of the principle
of the bonds out of funds held by the
school board for the purpose, and also
any commission that may be charged
The money has to be forwarded to the
Importers and Traders National bank
of New York.
