engaged to play, the High School
Girls Quartette will sing and Mrs.

The Glory OF the Grass.

Grass is the forgiveness of nature;
her constant benediction. Fields
trampled with battle, saturated with
blood, torn with the ruts of cannon,
grow green again with grass, and
carnage is forgotten. Streets aban-
doned by traffic become grass-grown
like rural lanes, and are obliterated.
Forests decay, harvests perish, flow
ers vanish, but grass is immortal.
Beleaguered by the seven hosts of
winter, it withdraws into the i'm
pregnable fortress of it's subterra-
mean vitality and energies upon the
first solicitations of spring. Sown
by the winds, by the wandering
birds, propagated by the subtle hor-
ticulture of the elements which are
it's ministers and servants, it softens
the nude outline of the world. It's
tenacious fiberS hold the earth in it's
place and prevent its soluble COM
ponentS from washing into the vast
ing sea. 1t invades the solitude of
deserts, climbs the inaccessible
slopes and forbidding pinnacles of
mountains, modifies climate and de-
termines the history, character and
destiny of nations. Unobtrusive
and patient, it has immortal vigor
and aggression. Banished from
the thoroughfare and the field, it
bides it's time to return, and when
vigilance is relaxed, or the dynasty
has persisted, it silently resumes the
throne from which it has been ex-
PEELED, but which it never abdicates.
1t bears no blazonry of bloom to
charm the senses with fragrance or
splendor, but it's homely hue is
more enchanting than the lily or the
rose. II yields no fruit in earth or
air, and yet, should it's harvest fail
for a single year, famine would
depopulate the world. John j. In
gals.

There isa bill before the legislat-

There lisa bill before the legislat-
ure which proposes to change the
school age of children, making the
limit six to twenty years. To eff
feet this change the state constitu-
ton must be amended as it recog-
nizes the school ge limit from four
to twenty. We do not see that
there is demand for such law.
No notice is taken of this legal age
limit as affecting the attendance of
children at school. Natural causes
control the question of school at
tendance, not artificial. Few child
rem under six attend school except
in the kindergarten. A change in
the law will make no difference in
school attendance. Nor will the
apportionment of the school fund
income be affected to any apprecia-
BILE extent in the age limit for if the
number of children of school age
is reduced in number the smaller
number will receive proportionately
more per capita.

May 10, one week from tomorrow,
is Arbor and Bird Day. Birds of
many species are here in large num-

predominating, barring the scrappy
English sparrow, which we do not
much admire. The school children
are to learn to encourage the pretty
song birds, Arbor and Bird Day
being designed partly for the in
struction of the young people of the
schools along this line. Anot her
object of the day is to induce chill d.
rem to cherish and cultivate flower S,
shrubs and trees, not excluding the
modest grass. There is nothing
on the whole landscape, after all,
more beautiful or more essential
than the grass. And now as the
landscape becomes green with per-
vading grass we copy that splen-
did tribute to the glory of the grass
written by the late Senator ingalls,
of Kansas. Every boy and CIR
should commit that beautiful piece
of literature to memory.

Yesterday was the first day of the

event of great interest to all sports
men. A great crowd of resident
fishermen visited the Kinnikinnic

Last Saturday morning a gentle
rain set in with wind from the
southeast. The wind veering into
the northeast turned the moisture
to snow. Ii showed all day Satur
day and most of that night. The
snow was quite damp but as the
wind was quite violent it drifted
where the winds had good sweep.
The storm was general over this
state and Minnesota. Probably six
or eight inches of snow fell in this
locality. Sunday night the wind
was from the northwest and ice
formed an inch thick and the
ground was frozen hard.

ed, rendering the limb useless. 1t
is supposed the fracture was occa-
stoned by the sudden release of a
ball of snow from it's hoof, causing
the horse to strike its foot against
the ground with a sudden wrench.
The horse was with difficulty got to
DR.. Flowers barn and Sunday was
taken home on a stone boat. Mr..
Chapman is hopeful of saving the
horse with DIR. Mack's assistance.
