THE FRENCH PRESIDENCY AND
THE AMERICAN.

The striking differences that exist
between the presidency of the French
republic and the presidency of the
United States are perhaps never so
president sets out for a journey out of
his own country, and spends a few
days attending all sorts of social func-
tons and gala performances as the
guest of a foreign court. To some
Americans it looks a little too much
like playing at royalty, and these
would strongly object to such a mag
nifying of at least the spectacular
side of the temporary office OF presi-
dent; at the same time they may be
inclined to ask why, if the country
car do without a president, as it evil
IDENTIFY does while the president is thus
indulging in a big foreign junket, it
should have a president at all. For
{ must be remembered that the French
constitution has no provision for a
vice president to take the place of
a disabled or absent president. And
the fact is that for the regular dis
patch of business the republic of
France can as well do without its
president. Ofice-seekers are even not
disturbed, as they would undoubtedly
would be in the United States, by an
event that would make it impossible
fer them to go and have their protec-
tors go with their applications to the
fountainhead of official favors. The
ministers, the members of the cabinet,
are left to them; that is all they want;
for the president himself they have
m use whatever.-From why NJ.

Montana, on account Of a freight
wreck and they had the mis-.
fortune to have their train run
over a man, killing him instantly.

Angeles, CAL, then came to North
Yakima, Wash. for the spring, where
she visited at the home of her cousin,
Miss Young and the two came here
together. They expect to spend the

enjoyable events of the week was the
recital given by Miss Isabelle Boyd at

was simple, natural, graceful in her
manner, clear and vivid in her char
acter delineation."

THIS WOULD BE A GREAT THING FOR
YOUR BOY.

At culver. Indiana, on Lake MayfnLlckee
is located one OF the most interesting sum.
mer schools in existence. 1t is, in fact. the
only Inland Naval School in the world. on
July 18th boys from more than one-baIf ~
the states in the Union, and from several If
the foreign countries, Will assemble there
and spend the summer in manning oars and
halyards, and acquiring the physical train
ing, alertness and discipline so important 10
a youngster in his teens; nor do these boys
sacrifice any OF the fun of their vacation
The youngster lolling around at home ha,
no idea of the wealth of healthful fun and
real recreation that the Culver summer
Naval school cadet gets out of his eight
weeks course.
1t would be a great thing for your boy 10
give him a summer at Culver. There is
more in il than fun. 1t is not merely a SUBJ
stitute for the idle summer-it is not simply
to keep him from picking up bad habits that
attach themselves to a boy who is loafing,
like Ming TO a magnet-it is more than
that.
The most important stage of a boys de-
velopment is from IA to J.. The Influences
to which he is subjected during this period
often determine his success or failure in life.
The Culver summer Naval school makes a
speciality OF giving a boy the thing he needs
at this critical stage--things that a regular
school session does not provide. The train
ing and discipline of the naval course give
him the power of self restraint. strengthen
his character, give him respect for author
ity teach him thoroughness. how to do
things well and promptly, as they should be
done and when they should be done.
He also has at Culver an opportunity 10
make up any study in which he may be be-
hind, 50 that he may begin work next fail
without a handicap. or he may take up some
new study. There are many interesting
courses outlined in the Catalogue. He is
taught to box, to swim and dance, to handle
a boat, 10, shoot, etc. He is thrown with rep
resentative boys from every part Of the
United states. CThis, in itself, is a valuable
thing for him.
Another feature this summer Will be a
weeks cruise on the Great Lakes on the
splendid :. :. Northwest. Could anything
offer better possibilities to the wide-aWake
lot of American boys for not only having a
good time, but for acquiring valuable infor-
nation about one of the most interesting
! parts of this great county of our?
There is a big wheat crop in sight. II you
are to profit by il let the boy do so too,
even If you need him badly at home. Give
him this opportunity now. Opportunities
thrown away have a way of not calling
again. The School opens July 9TH. Boys
may be entered to advantage up 10 July
18th. If you are interested in knowing more
OF the Schools, a beautifully illustrated Cat
alogue will be mailed you on request OF the
Commandant Culver Military Academy,

GALA DAY is OFF.

On account of the departure from
the state of II. /. Brown of Sioux Falls,
state Woodmen deputy, and the wet
weather making it advisable for the
farmers to stay at home or every good
day. and also on account of the close
ness of the state Woodmen convention
and the Woodmen picnic here, the
general steering committee have deem.
ed it not wise to go ahead with the
arrangements for the Woodmen Gala
Day here and will confine their efforts
to a grand banquet to the visiting
Woodmen and Royal Neighbors and
to the initiatory work in the evening.
Deputy Brown was to haye been in
Brookings in n few days to remain
until after the picnic and have full
charge of all arrangements, and his
departure upsets all the well laid plans.
However, it is to be hoped that the
business men of the city will go for
ward with the gala day amusements.
A number of good horse races and ball
games have been arranged for and
a fine days sport can be easily had.

A PEDDLER'S JOKE.

One day a peddler of tinware stopped
ot q country house in New England
and, leaving his horse and wagon al
the gate. went to the door. where IL
big woman with a rather pleasant
face met him. He told her what II"
had for sale and succeeded in dlspoS-
ing of half a dozen articles to her
Then she said that she had not money
enough to buy more.
We'll, ma'am." said the peddler. I'll
take rags if you have any
Il have none to SELL" answered the
oma
The peddler saw at least & dozen
children, all small, about the house
and the yard. and he suddenly thought
of a joke that he might play on the
woman.
You seem to have plenty Of chill
dren." he said. Maybe you might sell
me one Of them and take the pay in
tinware.'
What will you give!" said the wo-
man.
"Ill give So" said the man, "all in
the best tinware."
well. sir said the woman. Its a
bargain; take your pick Of the lot
The peddler was surprised that his
joke was working SO we'll, but he kept
a very serious face, and, selecting a
very bright looking little fellow OF
six years. he took him up and put him
on tJo cAot 90 thn u,nnnn on1 Than
gave the woman $40 worth Of such
articles as she wanted.

his horse and drove off. He drove

But she did not call him back.
much to his amaZement. while. as for
the boy. he was in high glee. for he
was going to have a drive. Presently
the peddler. fearing that the joke had
been turned on him, drove back to the
gate. Lifting the disappointed little
fellow down from he wagon. he went
with him to the door, where he found
that the woman had just finished ar.
ranging her new tins nicely on her
shelves.
II think the boy will not do. after

no children, mister. The boys and girls
you see here are pauper children. and
as you seem to be a good sort Of man
I'll sell you as many Of 'em as you

The peddler stared at her for q min,

turning suddenly toward his wagon
he drove away as fast as his horse
