coming down the main street of this
town with two boys, nine and six
years of age, on top of the load. An
drew Rattenborg, among others, saw
the team coming and was the hero of
the occasion for when near the nipple
ment store and when ready to turn
west toward their home, he ran, got
hold Of the binding pole and climbed
on the rear of the load, caught hold
of the reins and succeeded in halting
them when almost to the turn, where
it is almost a certainty the load
would have been overturned and the
lads either killed or dangerously
hurt. Hans Petersen who is inter-
ested in them gave Andrew hand
some present for his brave act ard

INTERESTING EXERCISES AT THE NORTH BANKS SCHOOL.

NORTH BANKS SCHOOL.
 The Christmas exercises which marked the closing hours at the North Banks school, attracted large gather ing of parents and friends of the school who listened to a program of unusual literary excellence.1 Miss Louise Schofield, the popular teacher at this school, had spent much time in perfecting plans for a banner enter tainment and her efforts were crowned with brilliant success. The program opened with singing by the whole school, followed by recitations and songs of Christmas cheer. The feature of the entertainment was the appear ance of Master Seeley Jennings in his role of "the up-to-date St Nicholas" in which several boys and girls played an part. Master Jennings dis played much dramatic talent in explod- ing the fogies of the old time Santa Claus and bringing to view the more advanced methods now practiced at Yule tide. Among those who deserve honorable mention are George Ferris, Mary Deitz, Mabel Sherwood, Edna Jennings, Grace Burr, Bessie Burr, Elizabeth Raymond, Sarah Jennings, William Jennings and Jesse Metcalf. Following the exercises came the dis tribution of gifts by Santa Claus him. self, and after an hours social chat the gathering broke up, thus closing an afternoon long to be remembered.

DOG PROMPTLY SHOT.

A distressing accident was that which befell little Daisy Morrow, daughter of MT and Mrs Paul. Morrow, Saturday morning. The child fell down on its face, when it was seized in the back of the head by the bull dog owned by P. F. Grove and dragged about the lot. The child's cries at tracted the attention of Mrs ". w. Peck, who called her father, Thomas Brown, and he drove the dog away. Dr Wales. who was in Huntingtown at the home of Frank Gilbert, was sent for and dressed the wounds. Mir Brown is a veteran of the Civil War and he said he never saw more hor- rible sight. Fortunately the face of the child was not disfgured. By direction of Mir Grove, Martin Keane shot the dog at once.

A tickling cough from any cause, is quickly stopped by Dr Shoop's Cough Cure. And it is so thoroughly harm- less and safe, that Dr Shoop tells moth- CTS everywhere to give it without hesi- tation even to very young babes. The wholesome green leaves and tender stems of a lung-healing mountainous shrub, furnish the curative properties to Dr Shoop's Cough Cure. It calms the cough, and heals the sore and sen sitive bronchial membranes. No opium, no chloroform, nothing harsh used to in- jure or suppress. Simply resinous plant extract, that helps to heal aching lungs. The Spaniards cali this shrub which the Doctor uses, "The Sacred Herb" Demand Dr Shoop's. Take no other. Sold by. all dealers.
