BRITISH SCHOOL MA'AMs
TO VISIT MINNEAPOLIS
Five Hundred Pedagogs from the Other
Side Come to Study American School
System. -. ~. /

One hundred school teachers from
Great Britain and Ireland will visit
Minneapolis in the course Of the coming
winter and it is expected that the citi-
zens will show them the usual cour
tesies which have made Minneapolis
famous. There will be 500 teachers in
five parties which will visit the United
States during the winter. These will
be divided into smaller parties on their
arrival here and sent to different parts
Of the country SO that Minneapolis will
only see one company Of the visitors. =
The tours will be under the manage
ment of Alfred MpsleY, who accom-
panied the Industrial commission which
visited the United States in 1904.
That journey, which covered the indus
trial centers of the country, convinced
Mr.. .Mosley that the, rapid advance Of
America, the tremendous, development
and magnificent greatness is due more
to the public school system than to any
inherent virtue in the Industrial sys-

children to be so interested in any
thing outside Of their usual school
work,
Another teacher reports that the lit
erature received from the Humane So
ciety in Boston is SO eagerly read by
the children that she has to pass it
around, allowing each one to have it a
day if possible Sometimes where the
children live in the same neighborhood
they meet some evening at one OF their
homes and read together.
Webster school has already had meet
1ngs. Bryant school will hold it's meet

The Naughty Puppie,

One day last summer little puppy
strayed to our house. We fed it and
waited; to see if some one came to
claim it. We waited for while and
as no one came, we bought license
for it. -
One afternoon as I sat reading I
heard loud knocks at the door. I went
down and opened it and a crowd Of
girls burst into the house crying "Sur-
prise" 1t, was a surprise partying
they had made upon me. In little
while we were busy playing games,
when all Of a sudden I heard loud
barking up stairs. I went to see what
was the matter and found my puppy
dragging poor dollie by the hair. I felt
like whipping it, but upon second
thought held back. For I knew he was
only puppy and thought he was hav-
ing great fun. But Mr.. Puppy did not
get chance to do this caper again, as
I was careful to shut the hall, door af-
ter that - Bessie Furtney,

The Clever Cat,

One! day while I, was playing with
my cat I wondered if it were possible
to teach cat a trick. I spoke about

what I wanted her to. -. i
Meanwhile, my cat had run away SO

Strength Creator.
Vinol Guaranteed by Physicians, and
Over Two Thousand Leading Druggists

This is because Vinol is the latest
scientific production of the greatest
tonic rebuider the world has ever
known namely, cod liver oil.
In Vinol the system -clogging, nau-
seating oil is eliminated, and the me-
dcinal, curative elements known to ex-
ist in the Gods liver are administered
in a highly concentrated form, there
fore, a preparation containing all these
medicinal, curative and body building
elements, free from oil or grease, must
be the best strength creator possible to
produce.
In Vinol you know what you are TAX
ing, for everything it contains is nam
ed on the back label of every bottle.
This is why Vinol is so unqualitiedly
recommended by physicians and guar
anteed by over two thousand of the
leading druggists of the United States
as a body-builder and straightforward
for old people, weak women, puny
children, after sickness and for all pull.

The proprietor Of Remnants Phar-

in which we see the announcement or
your most excellent mothers departure.
write this. therefore, to assure you OF
our sincere sympathy. She was in the
best sense mother in Israel"
We became acquainted with her quite
early in my ministry in Shepherdstown,
and from that day to the end of my five
years service,-''years wherein we saw
evil''-we never had occasion to change
our first impressions. She was emphat-
ically the pastors friend and helper.
How sad to know that we will see her
face no more ia the flesh And. yet,
how sweet the hope Of meeting her on
the other shores. where all earth's sor-
rows will be remembered no more.
where the painful -farewells are never
spoken She has left behind her, in the
family of children she reared, testi-
monlal to her wisdom and fidelity, Ct
which any mother might be proud.
How it must console them all to know
that they sorrow not as others which
have no hope. "She rests from her la
Dor and her works do follow her,"
Her translation to tn, better land re-
minds us painfully OF the many OF our
dear friends and people who no more
walk your streets or join in the songs
and service of the sanctuary. Indeed,
| cannot recall single name OF the
many who greeted me on my entrance
on the pastoral relation there. and who.
amid the trying days of my ministry,
were ever ready to hold up my hands.
| count myself happy to have been hon
ored, so early in my ministry, as the
pastor of the Shepherdstown church.
But how changed-all the fathers, where
are they where are Mr.. and Mrs. Geo.
Byers, Mr.. and Mrs. Elias Baker, Mr..
and Mrs. William Sheetz, Mr.. and Mrs.

IGNITION, as we do, what glad throng
to greet us on the other shore Shep-
herdstown, though one of the dearest
spots on earth to us, can hold little
besides sad memories for US in the fu-
ture. And, yet, we rejoice to know,
that while the tender ties that bound
us to the place have, one by one, been
severed, yet the church of which we
were pastor still lives in the worthy de-
scendants of these departed saints. who
like shocks of corn, fully ripe for the
harvest, have been gathered into the
heavenly mansion.
And, with sincere desires and pray
ers for the worthy pastor and fold, L
close this sad reminiscent paper.
