a series OF meetings in progress at
the Dakoda Wesleyan University for
the past Two weeks closed on Sunday.
They we've under the general direc-
lion of President Nicholson. DR..
Homer G. Stuatz. of Mt. Vernon,
Iowa, assisted one Sunday, but was
taken i'll and compelled TO give up
the work. Thereupon President
Nicholson conducted the services
himself with the exception OF the
Day OF PRAYER for Colleges, when
three powerful addresses we're de-
liyered by Or. Fayette l.. Thompson,
of Minneapolis. a LARGE chorus choir
assisted at all the meetings. The first
week the services were conducted i'll
the city hall: the last week they
were held in the college chapel.
from night to night audiences
ranging from three hundred and
fifty to n thousand, were in atten-
dance. About sixty young people
declared their purpose to lead the
christian life, and a great moral and
spiritual uplift came to many others.
The win Ter term at Dakota Wes-
leyan is very successful; tue atten-
dance the largest in the history OF
the college. 1t will reach nearly five
hundred for the winter term alone,
and the enrolment for the year will
probably --slhow considerably more
than 600 students. The bulletins
announcing the Summer School have
been issued. and they present a very
attractive program for that session.
Last summer the attendance reached
l22. This year the faculty is enlarged,
the number of courses offered is in
creased land there is..prospect of a
much larger attendance. The faculty
makes the summer school courses
just as strong as those offered during
the year, and articulates it with the
term in such a way as to
enable students who take the spring
and summer terms to do a full half
year of college work in any given
subject.
Vice President Samuel Weir has
just returned from Pierre, where he
was called in consultation with to
or three important committees of the
legislature. He preached a interest
ing and impressive sermon in the
Methodist church on Sunday morn
ing, when the sermmon was attended
by many members Of the legislature.
Ex-State Superintendent M. M.
Ramer has begun his work as one OF
the field secretaries Of Dakota Wes-
leyan. He is at the present time,
making his headquarters in Mitchell,
and is taking hold of the work with
his accustomed energy.
Professor a. M. Jayne, Of the
Science Department, has been i'll for
some weeks, and has been compelled,
temporarily at least, to give up his
work. Mr.. Ezra Allen, late professor
in the State University of Montana,
has been secured to supply his place
for the remainder Of the year. Mr..
Allen is a graduate Of Bucknell Uni |

he thought that the use Of quotations
was a good thing.
Quotations are only good" said Mr..
Saltus, "when they are extremely apt.
There was once witty Irishman,
Jumes e. Fitzgerald, who made excel
lent use of quotation in political
speech. During this speech he was re-
peatedly interrupted by a butcher, the
proprietor of large sausage-making
plant. An adherent of Fitzgerald's
finally took offense at the butchers
hooking remarks, and yelled:
"'Hey, you, leave politics alone, and

retorted:

Old Age and Work.

Old people make a great mistake
when they give up work. Many men
who have made competency in busl-
ness and feel entitled to retire from
active work find themselves declining
in health and becoming prematurely
old for want Of occupation. In most
aged persons the vital functions con.
tinue in active exercise under normal
conditions, but If the regularity and
