Night.

issued this week from the Herald's

by the 'Hayseed Club" one of the
principal social organizations of the
city, but this year they have de-
cided to side step in favor of the
fire laddies and the latter are now
preparing for one of the old time
fireman's dances that we're formerly
so popular here. The mailing list
of the Hay seed Club" will be used
in sending out the invitations, of
which 500 will be issued.
So once again all good people who
apr eciate the work done by the
firemen and the protection afforded
our homes and business interests,
are invited to purchase a ticket, as
well as those who dance for the
pleasure it affords them.
Excellent music will be furnished
by the Lancaster orchestra, and for
the accommodation of those whose
footsteps do not keep pace with the
modern round dances, every al
ternate number on the program
will be quadrille.
The dance will be held at the rink
and everybody IS invited. Tickets
will sell at one dollar, and supper
will be served, extra at the various
restaurants.

Art Exhibit by the Schools.

By the generous provision Of the
Horace K Turner Company of
Boston, the Lancaster public schools
are able 10 take advantage of the
famous Turner Free Travelling Art
Exhibit. The pictures will be at
the public library Thursday, Friday
and Saturday of this week from 2
o'clock to p. M, and from 7 to 10
p. IN.
An admission fee of ten cents to
children and Is cents to adults
will be charged, and the money
thus collected will be used in
purchasing pictures for the several
rooms of the schools.
Some of the teachers will be IN
attendance at all times during the
exhibit to call attention to the
pictures familiar TO them and to
extend a spirit of welcome to all
visitors. 1t is hoped that the ex-
hibit may be made an interesting
social event during the several
afternoons and evenings.
The pictures are beautiful re-
productions, and the majority of
our school children have never seen
prints of such a high standard and
excellent quality. They are made
by Photographic processes only,
and, as shown, are in one color
(brown, gray, green, or blue tones
and in the colors of the originals
1n hand-color and in color photo
graphy.)
This collection is a Travelling Art
Gallery or Art Museum in itself,
including as it does, reproductions
of the Worlds leading subjects in
paintings, portraits, architecture
sculpture, and natural scenery.
What the art exhibit will do for
our community The art exhibit
offers a splendid opportunity to
begin work, in the schools, of
stimulating an appreciation of good
pictures among the children 1t
will reach out into the homes and
awaken a great interest in pictures
among the parents. 1t will bring
the entire community in closer

needs and will provide substantial
fund for school room decoration.

STAN, OUT DISEASES.

State Livestock Sanitary Board Dis
covers New Law.
Tuberculosis cattle and horses
affected with CHAMBERS can no
longer be shipped out of the state,
according to a law which has just
been discovered by the secretary of
the United States department of
agriculture, says the Madison
Journal. THE livestock sanitary
board of the state was called into
session Monday to consider this
newly discovered law, and the
belief IS general that the board will
demand its rigid enforcement so
far as this state is concerned.
AT recent sessions of the legisla-
ture laws have been passed with a
view Of curbfng these diseases. The
statute discovered is by far the
more stringent as the railroads are
held reliable first. 1t is believed
this law will do much to aid in
stamping out these diseases i'll the
state. The discovery of CHAMBERS
at Richland Center, where one man
died and father and son are still
lanquishing in a Milwaukee hospital,
has prssznpted the board 20 take. up
the immediate consideration OF the
matter"

ton of the great works of Art.
Simple contact with the pictures at
the exhibit is not enough-sym-
pathetic, enthusiastic instruction is
imperative through the teacher who
knowns how to interpret them
truly.
To meet this need, the Horace K.
Turner Company has grouped stud.
les Of pictures into series for each
grade with the aim of gradually
developing the pupils appreciation
of good pictule s. By suggestive
methods and reference material for
the teachers these picture studies
explain the motives that the artist
has brought into their composition.
In cooperation with the plan of
this company we have arranged in
our school program, for picture
study, using as a basis the analysis
of few famous ones which are
furnished us. We hope that our
pupils will gradually become skill
full IN interpreting pictures and
perceive the expression of thoughts
and feelings that would otherwise
remain dumb and unutterable in
their minds.
Do not fail to see these pictures
while they are here. 1t will certain
ly be- worth your while.

Good Advice.

Life Is too short
To store up bile;
We're only here
A little while,
We walk together
A short way.
Lies just a touching
Hands. and then
A parting far
A and WIDE again;
A looking back
To days of yore.
A hopeful looking
On once more.
And then, somewhere
By mount or sea,
A rounded mound
Beneath a tree;
Pass up the sings
And things that crate
And try to keep
Your grin on straight.
Bear and fOrbear
Walk in the light;
Clasp hands; lock love;
Here comes the night.

from the StocE Exchange.

that stocks were advancing. while the

were putting out new securities and in

only one way. SO he planned his bear
campaign.

Nearly MObbed Preacher
Introducing 1t.

ST PAUL. Mimi. March 1.-THE
house yesterday passed the Timberlake
bill. which is intended to minimize the
custom Of mothers to neglect nursing
their own babies. II forbids anyone
but an immediate member Of her family
from inducing a mother not TO nurse
her child. The bill was drawn by Rev.
Z. +. Savage, of ST. Paul. who has long
been prominent in that branch OF charit-
able work that deals with poor and
neglected children. Mr.. Savage was
nearly mobbed when he introduced the
nursing proposition at a meeting OF the
Minnesota Federation of Women 5
Clubs, and asked the support Of that
body. He has produced statistics show
ing that in Minnesota alone some 1000
Infants die annually because denied
their natural food.
