one for some information which he de-
sired. This gave him thirst for read
ing and he did not stop until be had
read through fifteen feet Of books. To
day his influence has gone to the ends
of the earth
When we see around us lives that are
depraved and realize that they started
from thought; when we see lives Of
grandeur and realize that they too start
ed from thought, though Of different
kind, we should then strive to pay our
debt to succeeding generations by lead
ing them to higher and Dobler lives.
Evening Reception.
The reception given by the people of
Silver City to the visitors in the eve
ming at the Masonic Hall was a grand
feature of the occasion aud was enjoy
ed by more people than the exercises
of the day as many attended who were
kept away during the day by their reg
ular duties. The success of this fea-
assistance of Mr.. j. s. st Clair who Sc
cured for us the hall aud lent his aid
ia other ways; TO Mrs. Dickens to whose
artistic taste aud skiIlful hand we are
indebted for the excellently decorated
room; to Mrs. Williams aud Mrs Cat
low for their uutiriug energy in pro-
curing the necessary supplies aud look
ing after the excellent luncheon; to Mr..
John Crete who assisted in decorating,
and in conducting the dance; to Miss
Mary Hicks and Mr.. George Jeffery who
generously furnished the music, and to
Silvel City in general
At eight P. M. an enthusiastic aud
| lighthearted crowd assembled at the
hall and il was evident from the beam
ing faces and merry jests that all had
come expecting grand time. AS the
hall began to fill expressions of pleased
surprise we're head on all sizes at the
brilliant decorations of evergreen, pen
ants, aud streamers of white and gold,
Silver City's adopted colors.
DR.. Schuyler, chairman of the school
board of Silver City, opened the exer-
cises of the evening by a most cordial
aud fitting address of welcome to the
visitors aud by calling npon each of the
visiting educators for five minute
speech. All responded with brief aud
most appropriate address which sho ed
that they highly appreciated the vel
come and good fellowship accorded to
them aud the pains that had been taken
to make their visit here pleasant one.
Then followed three musical num-
bers which were received with hearty
appreciation,--a duet by Mrs. Hall aud
Miss Hastings, violin solo by Robert
Mcdonald accompanied by Miss Leona
Crete, aud piano solo by Miss Alice
Connors.
This was followed by grand ball,
"And when music arose with its volup-
tuous swell, All went merry as a
marriage bell" If any one thought to
hnd in the visiting educators display
of airs or stiffness of manner his mind
was quickly changed for all entered in
to the spirit of the evening with
hearty goodwill and some of them
joined in the dance with youthful gay
ETY..
At eleven was served the luncheon
which was delight to The two hundred
and thirty seven people who shared it
aud which drew unstinted praises to
those who had hand in preparing it.
After this, many still tarried for some
time, "To chase the glowing hours with
flying feet" and when they parted it
was with mutual desire that an op-
portunity for another similar occasion
might some time be given.
