every day one or more pupils who have
not been TO school In several weeks
come In. The patrons Of the school
realize the advantages of a graded over
an ungraded school, and are striving
hard to keep up the average.

asleep in his chair in the Dead Shot
saloon. The big man helped himself
to a drink, and then, standin' in the

In the lowest bid, Is homo man, and the
people here know that he will do the
work well.
The $500 donated by Mr.. Carnagie
has been deposited with an eartern Trust
company and Is subject to the demand Of
the library board here, and so is now

The library board will have several
hundred dollars OF other funds, as a help
