A Lost Bank Mote.

a friend OF mine, writes a Scottish
correspondent. recently saw Il piece OF
paper lying on the street. He picked
it up. 1t was one pound note Some
men might have pocketed it, with Il
smile of satisfaction. Ny friend, how
over, honestly handed it over to the
police. A short time afterward he dis.
covered that he himself had lost a
pound. He thought over the mattc.
and remcmbercds that before finding
the note he had been standing on the
edge of the pavement for some time.
1t slowly dawned upon him that the
pound he had found was his own and
that he had drawn it from lis pocket
unconsciously. He went back prompt
ly to the police station and explained
the circumstance. The officer in charge
only shook his head and smiled in
crcdulously. Very clever' he said.
"but chit will scarcely do" If my
friend cared to call back Mt the end of
six months, he was Informed, he would
get the pound il in the interval it had
not been claimed. During this time
of waiting he is inclined to mediate
as to whether honesty is always the
best policy.-I.ondon T.. L. o.

The interludes were an inn
pressive part of the play. They
are unusually fine productions
in literature. and they were
rendered in a very appropriate
manner.
The pupils had their parts
perfectly learned and not once
did anyone have to be prompted.

Decoration Day Services.

day morning, Decoration Day,
large crowds congregated on
the streets to watch the parade
form and make the start for
the cemetery. First in order
was the Missouri Valley Rand,
followed by the marshals and
then came the members of the
Grand Army of the Republic,
and with them members of the
Seminole Club who were chosen
to decorate the graves of the
fallen heroes; next came the
ladies of the Relief Corps in
carriages and the city officials.
We must not neglect the school
children VINO were much in evil
dence in the line. Arriving at
the cemetery the usual exer-
cises were performed and the
parade returned to town and
were missed. "The broader
sc ope of the days observance
is due to the efforts of the sur
viving members of the G. A. R.
Realizing that their ranks are
being rapidly thinned, the vet

The afternoon session was
held in the opera house TIE

bers of the G. A. r, w. r. C..
and friends. The exercises
were opened in tho regular way
by the officers of Balde,n Pest.
after which there were several
selections by the chorue. un9er

all Of which We're highly pleas
ing. Superintendent Reveridge
acted as chairman Of the meet
ing, and after addressing the
audience for a short time, in
troducea Judge Lee Estelle of
Omaha. the orator of the day.
Judge Estelle did not follow the
usual lines of such a day. but
gave a general talk on times
contemporary with the civil
war, taking Lincoln for his sub
ject. He was given close at
tention and brought out many
facts that will bear fruit in the
minds of the younger people
present. His talk was patriotic
il extreme and we believe was
generally satisfactory to all.
Judge Estelle served in the late
war in the navy and told many
experiences that were very in
teresting to the old soldiers.
The members of the G. A. R.
feel that the program as pre-
pared and carried out both Sat-
urday and Sunday was all that
could be asked and thank the
committee who worked with
them to make the day a success
The Mo. Valley band also came
in for their share Of praise and
we donot hesitate tosay that we
have the best musical organic
alton in this section of the
state.

One of the most beautiful
and impressive services we
ever witnessed, was held on
Sabbath morning in the opera
