Johns. Here she has made host
OF friends by her genial. kindly
ways. Her death at the Good
Samaritan hospital last Monday
was occasioned by the second oper-
alton, which was made necessary
by the imperfect healing OF the
wound of the former operation. In
her enfeebled condition she could
not rally from this operation.
Mrs. Ward was the mother OF six
children, five OF whom survive her;
William X. Lee OF Fisher, MINI. ;
Ward aud Raymond Lee and Mrs.
Leland, OF ST. Johns and Mrs. A.
n. Glover of Omaha, Neb. An

brothers aud sisters, grandchildren
and great.grandchildren, and en-
joyed the distinction of having be-
come a great-grandmother at the
early age OF 81.

them was noticed one from her

several others we cannot name, all
attesting the loving regard she had

their most earnest sympathies so

In another column will be found
a call for a meeting of the CONNER
cial club to be held next Wednes-
day evening at 1880 o'clock. 1t is
the first evidence of life the club
has manifested for the past six
months, and it is hoped that every
man in the city who has the inter
est of the city at heart will come
out and help make up for lost time.
Matters of vital importance to the
future Of St. Johns will be brought
before the meeting. There is but
one reason this club ray not be a
power for the progress of st. Johns,
and that is the lack of harmony and
common interest among the citizens.

the strongest, most active club OF
the Peninsula. II will be money

Great st. Johns Hold-up.

Elwood went to school one day
He rambled down the road.
He walked until he met two men,
Who relieved him Of his load
They asked him for his money,
But he didn't have a cent
So. he gave to them his dinner
Aud then, you bet he went.
He ran until he came to school
And fell into his seat.
The teacher said; "What is Il
dearl p
lie said: "I've got cold feet"
So she sent him to the Office,
There to get his "tootsies" warm
And they phoned for policeman
Who would keep him from al
harm.
Now, I" Elwood is a hero"
So all the school kids say;
"For il always doesn't happen,

Christian EndeavOr Sale.

Calef Brothers have sprung a
new one on our people. The local
manager and resident member OF
the firm, Mr.. A. c. Gesler, pro-
posed to the c. T.. society OF the
Christian church that his house
would give them a benefit sale II
they would interest themselves in
the work.
This enterprising bunch OF young
people gladly took advantage OF
MIR. Gesler's generosity and are al
ready hustling for the sale. They
have had printed number OF cards
with holes punched in the corner
and strings tied In them for attach
ing to the coat or other garment.
These tags they will sell to their
members and friends to defray ex-
penses and help to advertise the
sale. The goods will be sold at
the same prices or in some instances
even lower, and on the same terms
as on regular sales, and five per
cent of the sales will be given to
the society. This will be a splen-
did opportunity for you to buy
your Christmas presents and at the
the same time give these worthy
young people boost.
The Reed French piano company
will put one of their fine pianos on
exhibition in the store and if a sale
can be effected the society will get
the agents commission on that.
If you are thinking of buying a
piano, or getting married, go to

We would like to congratulate
the school board on its good
judgment displayed in the selection
of its instructors. The board has
secured an exceptionally competen
corps of teachers and we noted
with a great deal Of pleasure the
improvement in the department Of
the pupils in some of the rooms and
the deeper interest in the work that
is being manifested. Our young
people should improve every oppor-
tunity to acquire knowledge, par
ticularly of a practical nature, for
they will have many times the need
of il within the coming half century
than obtained during that just
passed, and there will be an ever
increasing demand for trained
minds, with corresponding de-
crease in the advantages offered the
uneducated. This condition holds
true in all the walks Of life from
farmer to the scientist. In America
we are entering an era OF education
broader and deeper than has ever
heretofore been conceived by ma.
ton or people.

There seems to be a difference
of opinion as to the merits or de-
merits of a free ferry. Many think
we would lose more than we would
gain We are not omniscient by a
large margin, and while there is a
good bit of argument against the
free ferry, we still believe that the
many advantages it would give to
St. Johns would far more than com
pensate us for the fancied losses,
even though they should prove to
be real.
