Recital pleases Audience.

The pupils of Miss Bertha E. Crebassa
rendered very pleasing musical pro-
gram last Monday evening, in the
Baraga Opera House to large and
pleasing audience, opening with q
picturesque Harvest scene in Cantata
form, followed by duets and solos show
ing the technique and training of the
pupils during the past year. A short in
terlude in the form Of "The Minuet"
was danced by four tiny couples
dressed in the style of '76, after which
was continuation of musical and vocal
renditions by the pupils. The applause
of the audience was most noted at the
appearance of the three little vocalists
who unconsciously displayed unusual
talent though still in the kindergarten.
The whole was closed with a Patriot
Overture COMMUNICATING the national
holiday Flag Day.

lage, was very interesting place Sun
day, due principally to the fact that il
was the gathering place of the brothers
and sisters of John. Cosgrove, who
have not been together at one time
in 25 years or more.
Martin Cosgrove and Bert, his son,
were present from Barage, and Mrs.

VALEDIcToRY.
By Charles Steinbach, '09.

Dear Friends I'VE, the members of
the Senior Class, who are about to
complete our high school career, are
given the opportunity this evening to
express our thanks to you-to the
people, who through the Board of Edu-
cation and our teachers, have made it
possible for US to mount the ladder of
our high school life. From the summit
we look into the future for a further
education, and bid farewell to high
school days.
For twelve long years we have been
summoned every morning and noon by
the sound of the school bell. Starting
from the kindergarten we have ad-
vanced through the different grades.
AS we passed from one room to another,
we met new teachers and we were
obliged to accustom ourselves to new
conditions. The lessons seemed hard
er, the discipline more strict. When
we entered the high school, the am
bition of our former years was real
lied.
During our time at school we have
seen the wooden building, of limited
space, and equipments, replaced by the
brick structure, of ample space, and
all the modern conyeniences. In this
new structure we have completed our
high school education-an education on
which no person can place q price.
No one can tell what advantage we
may make of the knowledge that has
been aquired in high school.
In history we learned how Govern
ment rose and fell; how society steadily
advanced; how great men succeeded and
how lesser men failed. These things
certainly inspire US, and teach us K
profit by the experience Of the past
From science We gain the know
ledge Of what has been accomplished
in the physical world. what phenomsns
are still In use; and from this We re.
ceive slight idea of what Il yet 10 b(
accomplished y our wonderful work

Tonsorisl Parlor ENLARGED.

C. Steinmetz has been busily engaged
this week in building a new addition
to the Sengebusch barber shop, on
Main street.
Mr.. Sengebusch is having his building
enlarged with the intentions of establish
ing hot and cold water baths in connec-
ton with his shop. He intends to have
things ship-shape some time next week.
provided all material arrives on time.
This will be neat and much needed
addition to the shop, and, in fact, the
town. and will, no doubt be given its
full patronage.

Commencement
Exercises.
Pass OFF In Fine Form Graduates
Gave Fine Addresses.

The 1909 Commencement exercises of
L'Anse High School were held in the
Opera House Thursday evening. That
the people of L'Anse and vicinity take
great interest in what is being done in
the school was manifested in the at
tendance. Not seat was vacant and
standing room was at premium.
Tfo hall was very prettily decorated
and the people who helped in this work
are deserving of high praise.
Among other decorations, the large
amount of lilacs was noticeable, and
their fragrant odor perfumed the room.
These were donated by Olof w. Been,
of Skanee, and the people who had
things in charge, through the press,
wish to thank Mr.. Been for his kind
gift.
A detailed account of the program
cannot be given, as it would only be a
repetition of saying that it was the
finest ever. All connected with this
event carried out their parts to perfec-
ton and were subject to loud applause
and words of appreciation.
Atty. Angus Kerr, of Calumet, ad-
dressed the class and the people pres
ent in words of logic and wisdom.
which were listened to with great at
tentiveness.
Special praise is due the graduates,
Robert M. Peterson and Charles F.
Steinbach, for the pleasing way in
which they rendered their addresses.
Their words certainly show deep
thought. We give their speeches in
this issue. The boys were each pre-
sented with handsome boquet of car
nations.
The diplomas were presented by At
torney w. l.. Mason. of this village,
who gave the boys few words of ad-
vice and praise in this, their happy
hour.

have learned to express ourselves in
better terms, so that we can make q
wider use Of the knowledge we have
received, Mathematics. has taught .us
to reason out the statements of others,
and to profit by the constant training
of exactness which will serve ua
throughout our lives.
Mixed with the hard work Of study
ing, there has been also the pleasure
of athletics, and the joy of companion
ship. In our classrooms we built up
our minds, while upon the football field.
or in a basket ball game, or at q
Track meet with our companions, we
develop our bodies, win honors for our
school and gain that fairness and self
control which is taught so strongly in
athletics.
All this is our priceless education:-
the development of our minds through
our studies and classroom; of our bodies
thr ough athletics, and the less tangible
though no less lasting benefit of COM
panionship.
4 We are not leaving the school to
turn our minds into other channels, yet
we look back to our high school days
w ith happy thought after reviewing
all the benefits we have received.
This education we realize is one OF
the essential things of our lives, and
we now say farewell to those who have
helped us to receive tito you, ouI
friends here tonight to the Honorable
Members of the Board Of Education,
to our fellow schoolmates. We hope
to show our appreciation to those who
have helped US, by helping others and
by making the best possible use foi
ourselves Of this priceless education.

LAST CARD PARTY
Death Marked Woman Pays Her Social
Debts.

Springfield, Mo, Dec. o-Determined
that none of her social obligations
should remain unpaid when she died,
Mrs Alma Dodson, social leader and
the only woman lawyer in this county,
invited all her friends to a farewell
card party and reception Immediately
upon being informed by her physician
that she must submit to an operation
that would probably prove fatal. The
party was held the day before the ope-
ration was performed. Smiling and
cheerful, Mrs. Dodson was an admir-
able hostess, allowing nothing to dis
turb the pleasure of her guests. If she
felt any anxiety she gave no evidence
of it.
When the party was over and she had
bade her guests goodby, Mrs. Dodson
calmly arranged her personal effects and
picked out the clothing in which she
wished to be attired at death. She then
went to her physician and died follow
ing the operation

If IN EARNEST
Why Does He Not Have Stopped the
Boosting Scheme for Second Term.

The Ruston Leader: If our young
friend, Governor Jared Y. Sanders, is
in earnest in what he says about zone
term as Governor being enough for any
man. about not desiring to be his own
successor, about not being employed in
building up political machine for the
purpose Of boosting himself into the
gubernatorial chair for another term,
about the -four years of such labor,
such contentious, such endless strife
night and day should be enough for any
man, why, in the name of all goodness,
don't he come out in plain language and
say that he will have had enough of
this gubernatorial job when his time is
out That he will not, under any cir
cumstances, accept denomination for
Governor to succeed himself, that as he
was member of the Constitutional
Convention that prepared the article of
the State Constitution prohibiting a
Governor from succeeding himself and
worked for its passage, he is now una1-
terably opposed to its repeal. By doing
SO he would stop all this talk and worry
about this proposed amendment to the
State Constitution to abolish that por-
ton of it that forbids Governor to
succeed himself, and thus save his
over-zealous friends that are still
boosting the scheme lot of time and
trouble.

In sentencing this boy Judge Boar
man addressed him in words pathetic

The Grand Jury reported thirty-nine
true bills against parties whose names
Weren OF revealed.

Boarman was feeling unwell, but he
gave close attention to the report. He
addressed the Grand Jury in feeling
words and expressed regret that States,
for instance Louisiana, had no reform
school at which to send the boys and
the youths who had committed their
first offense. He expressed the hope
that the Legislature would in time pro-
vide reform school, such as is pro-
vided by the United States for the boys
