So sweet path it is that I
And all the flowers love it:
Fhe gracious goldenrod sways nigh.
The asters bend above it.
In ruby or in golden cup
Its name the lichen pledges,
And crimson-berried vines creep up.
Bejeweling its edges.
The bees and crickets sing it's songs,
The SHADOWS kiss it lightly,
While butterflies in golden throngs
Fit up and down it brightly.
And little pines with jealous frown
Try here and there to hide it,
Lest falling stars should hasten down
To WOO it if they spied 1t.
And l, too. fain would keep its way
Safe hidden mid the grasses
Sweet path. dear path, down which

A BETHEL BOY IN NORTH DA-
 K0TA.
 The town of Cando, N. D., has just dedicated q s25,000 high School building. Elmer Taylor Judd, q nat i've of Bethel, son of Henry Clay Judd, is chairman of the School Board Of Cando. He is q weekly reader Of the Newtown Bee and q progressive eiti- zen. We quote from the Cando Her aid a few facts relative to the new school building: One of the most prominent events that has ever come before the people of tEis community was the dedication of the new S25,- 900 high school budding, last Tues day evening. The entire population of the town ana surrounding country was we'll represented and the large auditorium was crowded to It's capa- city. The building is one of the finest pieces of modern architecture and one which the city of Cando can well be proud of. Very few towns much larger than this has its equal. It is well built throughout and will stand as a monument to education in this city for years to come. The board has spared nothing in furnishing the building with all the latest and up- to-date equipments that are used in training the mind of the youth Of to-day. Its physical and chemical laboratories are beyond the average that are to be found in many of our state institutions. The department of manual training has been provided with all tahe tools and paraphernalia that could be procured. The depart ment of domestic science is complete in every way, being furnished with all the articles that are used in the culinary line and the latest types of sewing machines. Its heating plant is the best that money could buy and it's sanitary system is unequaled. Spe- cial credit is due Superintendent Tewell, who has been constantly on the grounds during the entire course of construction and watched every minor detail in the work of fitting 1t for the most important work there is in the world to-day, the training Of the human mind. His untiring eff forts and his supervision have been the most prominent factors in it's erection. The board gave him control of the work and he has carried it out in the best possible shape. We are to be congratulated in having such an efficient school board to handle the work and there is not man, woman | or child who does not appreciate the interest they have taken in it. We take this opportunity of extending to E. T. Judd, president of the board and his two associates, Dr F. c. Har- ris and Amos Smeltzer, who have taken the responsibility of this great undertaking, the unbounded gratl- tude of the whole community.
