School Notes

The High school has begun work. As the heating plant is out of commission the grades cannot begin work until the new boiler, which is expected on the Cottage City, arrives.
 The cold weather interfered greatly with the botany experiments and broke a few test tubes. It is with some diff culty that we resume our work.
 The glee club elected new officers for the ensuing term; Agnes Museth, pres ident, and Isabel Coggins, secretary treasurer.
 The eighth grade will debate with the High school, Friday, the 18th of Feb ruary.
 Next week ends the first semester for the school year, and examinations will be the order of the day.

First Sunday-School Lesson
Leaf.

Bishop John Fl. Vincent, D. D.,
L. L. D., of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, a resident of Indianapolis,
had the honor of preparing and pub
fishing the first lesson-leaf which has
developed into the present internati-
onal lesson system. In 1866, when
editor of the Chicago Teacher, he
published therein a series: 1.-TWO
Years with Jesus; New System of
of Sunday-School Study" This was
the first system of Sunday-school les
sons in the world with analytical
helps for the scholar. In 1872, at
indianapolis, the first National Con-
vention of Sunday School Workers
adopted Bishop Vincent's lesson idea
and also the plan of Mr.. B. F. Jacobs
for a worldwide uniformity. To-day
the Sunday stands for a great
educational movement in itself.-The
March Delineator.

Forehead s.

Stand before u mirror and look at
your forehead. Does it slope back?
If so it denotes fondness for art and
a talent for music or painting-Or both.
If your forehead is high it is good
sign, particularly if it is we'll devel-
oped about he eyebrows. Should these
have Il perceptibIe bulge you are a
calm, cool. deliberate thinker.
You will probably be successful in
business if, with bullying eyebrows,
you have a short, narrow forehead.
Breadth OF forehead indicates broad
mindedness. Of course a broad fore
head may be part of weak face, and
a weak face with a broad forehead is
not so favorable as a strong face and
a narrow forehead.
If your eyebrows bulge and youF
forehead slopes gradually back you
are highly sensitive and-you are j

The Workman and His Tools.


It is related in Voice and Violin"
that "a well known orchestral conduct
or was once much annoyed by the CON
slant tuning of Il violin, which cOntin-
ued long after the musicians were at
their desks, WhereupOn he remarked
rather sharply to a novice: My dear
fellow, do please stop all that tuning!
You ought to be able to play in tune
when the strings are not exactly cor
rect"
This calls to mind two occurrences
in Washington. On one occasion q GER
tain foreman Of binding in the govern
ment printing office was compelled to
call a bookbinder's attention to a poor
piece of workmanship The binder
made some reference to his poor tools,
whereupOn the foreman made the cpl
grammatic remark that "a good work
man can do good work with any kind
of tools"
Not long ago the newspapers had q
story of a certain old darby whose

One day after finishing his chores the

sitting on Il box with a newspaper, ap-
parently reading. The proprietor,
knowing that he could not read, said
to him:

Passports to
Preferment.

Outward appearance is the
first introduction.
First impressions-the ex-
ternals, SO to speak-are what
count IN the initial presenta-
ton. And this was never
more true than now, both as
regards the reception, socially
and commercially.
Fine feathers may not
"make fine birds" but they go
a. long way in establishing a
mans credit or influencing
his business advancement.
How often do we see the i'll
dressed man thrust aside or
given 1.-The cold shoulder, }"
while the stylishly attired
individual meets with a warm
welcome and the glad hand!"
It is but human nature, after
all, as we interpret human
nature to-day.
There is no use denying the
fact that smart clothes and a
dressy appearance are easy
pass ports into public good
graces.
It behooves every man who
is bent upon business and
social success to use every en-
deaver to accomplish it in the
quickest and surest way by
first giving attention to exter-
nails. This does not neCessar-
lily imply that he must incure
heavy tailor's bills or become
extravagant in dress. At
CORRELL & MARTINS he
can get ready-to-wear clothing
that is equal to much that is
Custom-made and not infre-
queutly at less than half the
price.

A Serious Accident.

Richland Democrat: Peter Kaul, a
we'll known young man who resides
on Bear creek, met with serious
accident last week, Monday. He was
assisting in operating a saving
machine at the Bruecken farm when
in some manner his hand was drawn
between the belt and pulley. Both
bones of the arm were broken, being
splintered in such manner that local
physicians advised his going to Madi-
son to have the injury cared for.

pain came into the girls eyes. She
held out her hand to stop him.
DON'T she said. Don't! I can't
bear it,
NOrthcroft caught his breath sharp
ly. Eth? What's this?" he cried,
rather dazed by this unexpected turn
Of things.
He looked at her more closely. He
saw that her eyes were moist. She
turned her head sharply from him
and angrily brushed something from
her cheek.
'I-I-suDDOse I'm ungrateful and
unappreciative and all that sort of
thing" she confessed lamely "but,
Ted, honestly. those very things you've
just been saying I didn't care for are
the very things I care for the most.
Tm-Tm homesick, Ted; that's the
trOubIe-iust plain, honest, old fash
Toned homesick. I'm tired of all this
l was never fitted for it.
This life up here-the life they say
is eminently proper and fit for mel
simply can't stand. If you only knew
how I lOnged TO be back there-nOt for
a day, as we go now and then Occa-
sionally-but forever, you'd never chide
me again. You'd pity me instead. l
try not to show it for mothers sake
but sometimes I can't help it. l sup
pose it is my fathers blood in my
veins. To him Virginia and paradise
were synonyms"
Northcroft Strengthened himself.
When he was thoroughly aroused he
was q decidedly handsome man.
His brows were drawn together in
a little frown; there were lines about
the corners of his mouth. He was
enjoying the unaccustOmed luxury of
thinking deeply.
Presently he turned to her. There
was a great light in his eyes.
"Patty," he asked, ''dO you know why
1 came up here"
She shook her head
II came" said he, because ever
since you left l have not had a mo-
mcnt's peace You have dominated
every thought, every action every mo-
ment of my life. l couldn't stand it

you would have OutgroWn it and for

just said" he ended suddenly.
Every word of it," she said, with
emphasis.
"Dearie," he said gently, "why don't
you come back to it? Why don't you
marry me? Well live on the old place
where the NOrthcrofts have lived ever
since jamestown was built Well ride
with the Redield crowd, and We'll have
a stableful of timber tOppers that can't

a light touch on his arm interrupted
him. She was looking at him with ra-
diant eyes.

"OrganiZation,"

In the primary election investigation
at Madison it appears that a great
deal of Senator Stephenson's money
was used for organization, which
moves the Lacrosse Tribune to remark
that there is a strong impression
that to "organize" a county is to
"disOrganize" it's morals.
