Hirthdays-A Game.

A lovely game played on the same
plan as the donkey game is birthdays.
Tack a large calendar on the wall or
an improvised one containing thirty-one
squares, from one to thirty-one in reg
ular order. Provide each guest with a
slip Of muslin or paper bearing the
date Of his birth. The game is to walk
blindfolded to the calendar and pin
your paper to it. The one pinning his
date nearest to the same date on the
calendar wins the prize. For instance.
If your birthday is the Both of April
you should try to pin the paper as
near as possible to the 80 on the cal
endar.

lays down the arbitrary rule that
thought begins the day the child is a
month old. There's Il lot of scientific
terms the country teacher never
heard but she gets there all the same.
She is doing good work and would do
better if she had a chance.
The greatest trouble is that she is
denied system. She is at the mercy of
the directors wife who may not like
Ter looks or the way she walks by
and who sees to it that that snip
doesn't get the school next term. She
shifts here and there and is denied
continuous effort either by her own
desire to change or the desire to
change teachers. She has no real head
no superintendent. She is a skirmish-
er as against the phalanX of the grad
ed city school under immediate COM
mand and eye of a qualified general.
When the country gains enough
to systematic the rural schools, hire
the teachers, not by districts but by
counties, to give some competent man
a job assigning teachers to the rural
schools according to the expediencies
of the case and the need of the dis
trict, the country school teacher will
show what she is trying to do.

that doubt was dispelled Sunday
night. Long before the time of the
service carriages, automobiles and
pedestrians began filling the streets
and sidewalks at the corner OF Third

was 8 regular corr palace crowd pre-
sent. The evening was ideal for an
out door meeting. 1t was calm and
Just cool enough to be comfortable.
The Rev, e. M. Jeffers of the Bap-
tistss church presided. Secretary Whit
taker Of the Y. M. G. A. acted as Choir
lister. Miss Ford presided at the or
garland Mr.. Dixon accompanied with
the oornet. The congregation enter
ed heartily into the singing of the
old hymns and by the time the last
song was announced it was sung in
regular campmeeting fashion. Rev.
"A. Craig Bowdish of the Congrega-
tional church offered the prayer. An
Offering was taken for the expense of
the service and It was announced that

There was some wind prevailing at
the time and the embers of the fire
We're carried into adjacent lumber
yards and feed lots, and several
small fires were started, but which
were soon extinguished. Although
three streams of water were turned
on the blazing building they were in
sufficient to extinguish the flames as
the explosion of the gasoline tank in

The loss amounts to about $4,000.
with no insurance on any of the build
lngs, except that of the Sioux Falls
brewing Co., which carried $500.
Part of the buildings were in a bad
state of repair and some of the citi-
zen thought that the fire was more
or less fortunate to get rid of them.
FIRE limits have recently been estab-
l1shed in Kimball, which prevents any
more frame buildings being erected
in the business district.

DRUNKENNESS IN RUSSIAN ARMY:
Authorities Are Planning a Fight

Owing to the prevalence Of drunken.
ness in the Russian army it has been
decided to abolish the traditional gift
OF glass of vodka on certain gala
days and replace it by a glass of eau
casian wine.
Gen. Keppen afirms that 70 per
cent Of the crimes committed by sol
diers are done when under the influ-
ence Of alcohol. Another authority
goes as far as 9J.4 per cent Twelve
per cent. Of the confirmed drunkards
in Petersburg b: gan to drink in the
army. The reason for this is said to

racks. The commssariat try to econ

that in one of the Petersburg bar
racks, where six pools (28 pounds) OF
wood da" are assigned for heating
the building, only 80 pounds, or one
fifth is used. The soldiers are cold,
and therefore try 10 warm themselves

the spirit monopoly, goodly sum-
One regiment alone spends over $4,000
rubles annually on vodka. II this is

one general remarked: You can no
more teach a Russian soldier to do
without vodka than you can teach a
duck not to swim" So there Is little
hope Of fighting successfully against
