HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

In the School notes in the Herald
of last week appeared All article that
should have been entitled ''Much Ado
About Nothing" In this article one
of the venerable Juniors lamented the
fact that, although he had once said
that the Freshmen class was an enter
prising one, he was obliged to recall
that statement. Why? For the little
insignificant reason that the small cal
endar, hanging high over the front
blackboard, is covered with dust and
bears the date of 1905; that the import
ed calendar which hangs on the wall
just back of our presidents seat, bears
the date of January, 1907; and lastly
that the calendar which was presented
to us by Mr.. Juckett, attempted to de-
ceive us by presenting to us February,
1907. Tender and watchful Juniors!
Do you not realize that we do not have
to depend on calendars entirely to
know whether tomorrow is Thursday
or Saturday? We are not always look
Ing arOun0 Cne rOOm-llRo some men,

school hours we find it more profitable
to be looking at our books intelligent

Just as the clouds hid the western sun

AS quietly, the life of dear one was
done,
| Gone from this home to new.
'Twas noble life that was finished,
And we've lost husband, father and
| friend.
1t all came to us SO sudden,
| How little we thought twas the end
'sHow we miss him. the white lips
murmur;
At the thot of long days to come.
Friends, tits life we can't censure,
And his days work is nobly done.
Into the unknown hereafter
God calleth us. one by one.
May we each be waiting to hear him
Say, "Loved one thy work is we'll
done."
Oh weary ones who now are grieving
If our life should depart with the
l sun
May we be as ready as he was
To hear the dear Masters. "Well
done."

HOME FOR ODD FELLOWS.
Already Raised ~ Fund of About $50 900
Many Towns Anxious for Location.

Many Towns Anxious for Location.
A special of the l4th says: The Odd
Fellows of South Dakota are taking
great interest in the project of estab'
fishing an Odd Fellows home in the
state. This will be the first institu.
tion of the kind to be established by
any of the fraternal organizations Of
South Dakota.
The institution will be erected for
the purpose of providing home for
Odd Fellows who, by reason of great
age or other causes, are unable to
provide a home for themselves, and
for a home for those who have been de-
pendent upon Odd Fellows for support
and who, by the death of their husbands
or fathers, have been thrown upon
their own resources and are unable to
support themselves.
One of the chief promoters OF the
project for establishing the home is
Mai. John H. McLaughlin, the vener-
able Dakota pioneer, whose home is at
Fort Randall, and who at present is the
official head of the Odd Fellows OF
South Dakota.
Dnring the winter himself and other
members of the grand lodge have been
visiting the various subordinate lodges
of the state. One of the features of
these meetings are ''silver showers,
when contributions are made to the
fund for the erection of the proposed
Odd Fellows home Maj Mclaughlin
invariably casts the first coin upon
the floor of the lodges which himself
and other grand lodge officers visit,
and these "showers" of silver have
materially swelled the fund.
It is understood that the fund now
for the home contains in the neighbor
hood of $4,000 and that matters are
nearly in shape for steps to be taken
toward having the home erected. The
contest between several towns for
selection of the location of the propos-
ed new Odd Fellows home promises to
be quite spirited.
Thus far Dell Rapids and Hurley
are candidates, and it is expected that
Hot Springs, Huron and several other
towns will enter the list and try to
capture the institution.
The matter of erecting the home and
the selection of the place where it shall
be located will be submitted to the
various Odd Fellow lodges of South
Dakota, and regular vote will be
taken upon the proposition. 1t is
probable that this vote will be taken in
the near future so the home can be
erected during the coming season.

ADDRESS OF WELCOME.
President Louis R. Stadtmiller.

Ladies and gentlemen, parents and friends: The class is highly f1attered, l am sure, at the sight of such large audience this afternoon. Our class day exercises are of but slight inter- est to the public at large, in fact they seem trivial, but they are of great in terest to us and our parents and friends. During four years of school life, with the trials and vexations in- cident to all study, we have formed many acquaintances and friendships, which shall always be a pleasing re- membrance to us. We nave found out the weak and strong characteristics of one another and with youthful fancy we are prone to disclose some of them in our pleasantries. These little filings are given with the kindest feeling and are accepted by us in the same spirit. We feel elated over the fact that our school days are ended and we feel sure that you rejoice with us on this our class day. We have a very large class and it has been an exceptionally hard working class as the high average of a large number of the members will prove. There are among us some who have never been absent from their duties in the four years.
 Many are not content with closing their educational careers at present, but will enter college or normal school. Probably more than half the class will continue their studies else where and become men and women that the school will be proud of in years to come.
 We thank you all for your presence here this afternoon and extend to you hearty and cordial welcome.

CLASS PROPHECY. Robert T. Eustace.

On a very warm day in the year 1890 I was riding slowly through my cotton plantation in southern Texas- stopped under a tree. and looked out on the fields, which ex- tended in one white mass to the horizon. where they met the deep blue of the sky. The only sounds to be heard were the occasional dron- ing of an insect. or the swishing of my pOny's tail The heat increased by leaps and bounds and compelled me to seek the shade Dismountfng. I took of my pony's saddle. and placing it at the base of a tree. used it for pillow Tired and weary I clOsed my eyes

 Leaving Miss Booth, continued through the park until I came to the band stand, where I heard a band playing Home, Sweet Home" de- lieiously. I asked a man standing by who the leader was, and he seemed surprised to find that I had never heard of Harold Caesars Ma rine band.
 After visiting the park, which was indeed beautiful, I returned to the city. When nearing the center I nearly ran over a lady and a little boy as they were crossing the street. Stopping to apologize, found her to be May Carroll. who said she had become a governess. As there was a large crowd at the next corner, I asked her the cause of the gather ing. I was told that 1t was nearing election time and that I would prob ably find some of my friends in the contest Going down to the crowd.

DISCoURAGING TO FARMERS.
Backward Spring and Ravaging In
sects Menace New England Projects,

BOSTON, Mass, June 10.-The Massachu-
sets farmer, in common with those Of the
other New England states, has a most dis
couraging prospect this year, owing not
only to the backward spring, but to scarcity
Of farm help and to the ravages of insects.
The farmers say that never in the history
Of Massachusetts has help been so scarce
or SO high.
The high price of help has materially re-
duced the acreage of ground under tillage
and more area has been left to grass during
the past year than ever before Farmers
find 1t easier to grow and harvest hay
crop than vegetables or grain.
AS for the weather, reports to the state
board Of agriculture show that all branches
of agriculture were from one to three weeks
behind on June 1. Fruit trees are very back
ward.
The small fruit season will be one Of the
poorest for many years; raspberry and
blackberry vines were badly winter-killed
and strawberries were also damaged by the
late frosts.
For a non-bearing year apple trees show
about the average bloom. but the peach crop
in the state will be very light one.
An exception is the hay crop. The grass
was never so luxuriant as this season.
The usual enemies to all kinds of vegeta-
ton are fully as active as in years past
The most serious menace in Massachusetts,
according to the board Of agriculture, Is the
San Jose scale, which Is reported, with the
tent caterpillar, the gypsy and brown-tail
moths, to have survived the unusually hard
winter without Inconvenience and to have
already begun operations.

BITTEN BY PRISONER.
Marshal Collins Receives a Serious
Injury Saturday Night.

Marshal Collins of Glen Echo while at
tempting to place handouts upon the wrists
of a prisoner Saturday night at Glen Echo
was bitten by his prisoner through the
thumb and also through the middle finger
of his right hand. The prisoner, William
Roberts, it is stated, was under the in
fluence of liquor, and was causing constd-
cradle disturbance at Glen Echo Park. Sew
eral Of the attendants attempted to put him
out of the park, but found that the task
was too great. Roberts had three of his
opponents down and was pounding them
when the marshal appeared upon the
scene.
When told to surrender by the marshal
Roberts responded with a right swing on
the shoulder, and the king of Glen Echo
responded by hitting the man in the mouth.
which put him out of commission for few
minutes. This gave Collins time to take him
before Mayor Garrett. who sentenced him
to thirty days in the Rockville Jail.
After being sentenced and while on the
way to the cars the prisoner broke away
and ran, but Collins soon captured him.
and it was while attempting to put the
handouts on him that the marshal was
bitten. The prisoner was finally locked
up at Glen Echo and was taken to the
Rockville Jail yesterday morning.
In speaking of his prisoner this morning
Marshal Collins said. He was the tough
est citizen 1 have ever seem
SOlliUS went TO tne IeOTSetOWn OnlVeT-
sity Hospital, where the wound in his hand
was treated. At the hospital the wound
was pronounced to be serious. 1t was re-
garded as possible that blood poisoning
would result.
Although the constable had an injured
hand 1t did not keep him away from his
post on the Conduit road yesterday, as he
arrested two automobilists for operating
machines without Maryland licenses.
Shortly before noon yesterday a chauffeur
who gave his name as Stanley Horner and
said he was employed by Robert Robbins of
Cleveland Park was arrested and fined $40
for operating the machine without a license.
A few hours later A. o. Smith of Den
yer, Col, was arrested and he was also
compelled to give up so because he had no
Maryland license.
Marshal Collins said today he had fol-
lowed several automobiles yesterday, but
made only two arrests. One of the ex-
empted machines, he said, was going at
the rate Of seventeen miles an hour, but
he simply warned the driver to go slower.

sToLYPIN's STRENUOUS TIME.
Russian Organizations Make Life
Miserable-Want Duma Dissolved.

Special Cabegram TO The Star.
ST. PETERSBURG, June 10.-The promise
of NJ Stolypin not to tolerate the pogroms
has not had a tranquillizing effect. as the
propaganda of the Union of True Russians
continues to spread. The members of the
union have prepared prescription lists
which they have sent to the central COM
mittee here in st. Petersburg. Acting on
these lists. the committee has prevailed on
the authorities to order the arrest or the
expulsion of n number of private citizens
who are disagreeable to the union and to
dismiss many provincial officials who are
not in sympathy with its cause and meth
obs.
The members of the union undoubtedly
misuse the name of the emperor in connec-
ton with the recent Dardoning of con-
victed pogromists and quote those few
acts of grace as indicating that they have
a free hand. The prime minister is being
publicly denounced by the Black Presz. The
Russkoe Znamya, the organ of the union.
has just published an appeal to the en-
peror which winds up with these words:
Emperor, "A great responsibility rests
upon you before the people who love you
and trust you. Emperor, do not tarry an
other day. End the duma. Take not ON
your conscience the blood that will irs
evitably flow If you hesitate any longer"
