COMMERCIAL COLLEGE
TO HOLD GRADUATION

Everything is in a great state Of
commotion on the East Side over the
commencement exercises which are to
take place in the near future. The
Minneapolis Business College has de-
cided to make this event not only the
crowning feature of the year s work,
but to Guido every effort heretofore put
forward in events of this nature.
A large class, which consists of l75
members, will graduate in March, and
with a great deal of Interest to not
only the young people who are to grad
uate, but Of more than ordinary inter
constituency on the West Side.
The exercises will be. held in the new
Auditorium; a speaker OF fame Will
give the address, and the stage will be
prepared especially for the secession.
A fine orchestra has been engaged to
render music, and this, together with
the numbers which the class are to pre-
sent, will make it particularly interest
ing to the public in general. = u.s.
A. H. Boyce, one Of the proprletors
of the school, has been, to Milwaukee
and Chicago the past week to look over
the schools in those cities and get new
ideas, and to engage speaker for this
occasion. The young people Of the
school have their class-day program
practically arranged, which will be pre-
scented in about two weeks This, to
Egether, with the class ball, will make
Ethe: series of entertainments for Thu
class very attractive.

P1LLsBuRY LIBRARY NOTES.

With the approach Of spring it is
planned to strengthen the departments
of gardening, popular science, nature
study and outdoor life. New books on
birds, flowers and gardens will be wei,
come by the patrons of the. library, and
they are needed.
( For the last few months the order
ing has been largely confined to books
on Greek, Roman and American his
tory. Those departments being greatly
augmented, attention will be gladly
turned to the departments above men
toned. ~ =. .
AT the same time some new books
on, electricity will be ordered. The boys
who use the library need them badly:
hoped, be we'll supplied with such
books.
Circulation continues to keep at the
| high water mark. Last week arrange
ments were made with the teachers OF
| the Sheridan and Pierce schools where's
bv cards were issued at the school: i
is hoped that other. schools on the East
Side will also issue cards to the: chill
dren. The library looks for. a large In
crease in Juvenile circulation due tt
this arrangement, and also to the open

into the bookkeeping department to get
it. The head bookkeeper was away i'll.
The two regular bookkeepers were more
than. doubtful of their ability to get up
the statement. It was very difficult to
prepare and they did not know just how
to get at the facts. The work was Of
like to take chances on it.
Mr.. Tappan was angry. He never
liked to be thwarted. He noticed a
bright boy, one Of the youngest
clerks in the office, looking at him in
tently. The boy had heard the CONVEX
sation of the president and the book
keepers. Something impelled Mr.. Tap
pan to turn to the boy and ask, rather
sarcastically, if he could make up the
statement. He expected the boy to
answer as had the bookkeepers, but to
his surprise the boy said, "I1l try
