Fritz gave up his attempts at persua-

of us as full Of wine az we had any
right to be. The king began talking OF
what he would do in the future, old
Sapt of what he had done in the past,
Fritz Of some beautiful girl or other,
and of the wonderful merits OF the
Elphberg dynasty. We all talked at
once and followed to the letter Sapts

While yet spoke Josef came and set
before the king marvellous old wicker

some darkened cellar that it seemed to

"His highness the Duke of Strelsau

when the king was weary of all other
wines and pray the king to drink for
the love that he bears his brother"
"Well done, Black Michaelw said the
king. "Out with the cork. josef Hang

The bottle was opened, and Josef fill

hour and his own condition, he looked
round on US.

turned it over his mouth and drained
It and flung it from him and laid his
head on his arms on the table.
And we drank pleasant dreams to his

intendent M. M. Ramer was in
troduced and gave a fine address
on education aud the public
school, starting from the state
ment that any people or CON-
munity can have their progress
from the savage state accurately
gauged by the effort made to
educate their children. In his
remarks he stated that he had
recently been obliged to visit
the different parts of the state
on educational matters, and he
could safely say that he believed
Milbank had the best appointed
school of any city of twice it's
size in the state, and he was con-
vlnced that the board of educa-
tion had cut out the largest and
best gar ment that could possibly
be made from the cloth furnish
ed them. Both the board aud
the people of Milbank we're TO be
congratulated on what had been
accomplished, and the erection
of this building marked an epoch
IN the educational life of the city.
At the conclusion OF the pro-
gram the guests we're invited to
make an inspection of the build
ing and were shown through
the various rooms by embers
OF the high school who had been
appointed as guides for that pur.
pose, coming to q close of their
travels in the gymnasium. where
waters and chocolate were serv-
ed by the wives of the mem bers
Of the board.
The event was a pleasant and
profitable one in every way and
we believe was heartily enjoyed
by all who were present. 1t GER
ainly should tend to an increas
ed interest in school matters on
the part of parents and patrons
of the school.
THE BUILDING
For q number of years past
Milbank had outgrown its school
facilities. The first school build
ing, a frame structure, erected IN
the early days had been added to
aud patched up as the years
wen, by, and made to serve the
purpose, until it became evident
that this could no longer be done
and further accom- modations
were necessary to provide for
the steadily increasing school
population, to say nothing OF the
uncom Portable and dangerous
character of the buildings IN
which the children were housed.
The subject was talked over in
public meetings and other places
and an almost unanimous desire
was manifested for improved con-
ditions, and q great majority
favored putting up one OF the
very best structures possible.
