 On July 10 the case was reinstated, and the petitioners claim ' that the grand lodge has no authority to pro- ceed. The rule nisi was issued out of Chancellor Altman's court August and was returnable August '.

LENTEN SEASON ON.
Forty Days Began Feb. 1 9Th. Fifteen
Days Earlier than Last Year.

Ash Wednesday of this week
marked the beginning of the lenten
season, and until the last day of
March social gayeties will give way
to fasting and prayers. Lent will
be especially observed in the Episco-
pal and Catholic churches, in all of
which special services were held
Wednesday.
The word '1ent," which is derived
from the Anglo-Saxon ''lencten
spring." from the season in which it
occurs, is used to designate the
solemn period of devotion and alb
st1nence which has from early times
preceded the feast of Easter. 1t is
mentioned as early as the time Of
Irenaeus in the second century and
he speaks of it as not merely some
thing of his own time but of much
earlier date.
1t was arranged TO extend over a
period of forty days mot including
Sundays in order to correspond
with the forty days of Christ's temp
tation in the wilderness and so to
teach the great test to which every
human life must be subjected to
prepare it for its appointed duty and
victory.
The forty days of lent, eclesiasti-
cally, call upon the faithful children
of the church for abstinence from
the ordinary social pleasures, for
special devotion to the duties OF the
Chaistian life, for the exercise of
self-restraint and self-sacrifice and
for a general bracing of the tone of
the spiritual life by devout reverence
to the standard set by Christ him
self.
It is, in fact, an episode in the
Christian life not TO be eveded by
those who make the year the follow
ing of the pathway of Christ
through human life from the man
ger of bethlehem which is in sight
at Christmas to the triumph Of
Easter.

The Newest thing in Souvenir Postals

A phonocard has been invented
by a German which is finding much
favor abroad. A description Of the
novelty is as follows: For produc-
ing the photographic postal card an
apparatus is used which records the
human voice upon piece of paste
board of the form of the card,
which, it is claimed, has many adj
vantages over writing, rs it cannot
be deciphered except by a reproduc-
ing machine, The recording of the
human voice is done by an ordinary
monograph of simple construction
by means of a pencil with a sapphire
point. This pencil makes its i'm
preston upon suitable substance
called ''sonorine" spread upon the
surface of the card. The sonorlne,
which can be easily spread over
pasteboard, possesses all the prop
critics Of wax cylinder, and is in
reality the invention.
The signs are impressed in the
form of a spiral, beginning at the
margin of the card and ending in a
a very small circle, and are impress
sed So deeply that the stamping by
the postal authorities can only
destroy two or three words. The
card has ample space for about
eighty words.

To The Qualified Electors of Grant
County.

l hereby announce myself as a
candidate for the office of County
Superintendent of Schools.
Ny ten years of experience as a
teacher in the graded and ungraded
schools of the county and my two
years of experience as Deputy
County Superintendent justify me
in asking fer your support at the
spring election April 2, 1907.
During the two years that 1 have
been Deputy County Superintend-
ent, 1 have become acquainted with
the teachers and their work, and
have acquired a knowledge of the
common schools and their needs,
all of which l believe, will be of
value to the schools and to me as
county superintendent, if elected.
The statutes of Wisconsin pre-
scribe the duties of a county super
intendent and if the people of Grant
County see fit to elect me suDer-
intendent of schools, l will faith
fully execute those duties; also,
with the cooperation of teachers,
school boards, and patrons, l will
assist in every way possible to
advance the interests of education
and uphold the high standard
already attained. ]. G. BROCKERT,

fathers which occurred in Dec. 1903.
The life of Maggie Pearson was
truly one we'll spent. Within the COM
pass of this article, it is not possible 10
convey an adequate idea of the eX
cellence of that life with its patience,
cheerfulness, unselfishness, and self
sacrifice. Were one to go into detail
how much might be said of her solicit

visits to the unfortunate one, of the
repeated inquiries, of the sending so
often of delicacies How much might
be said, too, of her loving attention to
the father during his declining years
the father whom she so sincerely
mourned! Here was one, too, who
was the ideal sister to her sister and
brothers.
In this life there was so much
thought of others and so little of self;
so much suffering and so little com
plant; so much sacrifice and so liCtle
discomfort. Who can measure the in
fuence of life SO simple and yet so
noble!
