Big High School Enrolment

The Laclede public schools open
ed Monday with an enrolment of
1856, &c of whom are in the high
school. Miss Leora Walker was
elected to fill the other position in
the high school and will make
good teacher. Since her gradua-
ton from the local high school she
has spent the greater part of the
time in college and is we'll quail
fed. Leonard Jones, who is tax
ing postgraduate work, will assist
in the mathematics department.
With the other teachers previously
employed-Prof. E. L. Horton as
superintendent and Miss Jardine
back in her old place as principal
of the high school-and the greater
attendance than ever before, this
will be the best year in the his
tory of Laclede high school.
In the grades Misses Heath,
Kraft, Rankin and Barber will do
their part to keep up the high grade
of work done in their respective
departments, and our public school,
the pride of every citizen of La
clede, viii set a new mark this
year

TOWN AND COUNTRY IN BRIEF
Local Events Of The Past Mcsk Recorded For
Busy Blade Readers.

A fine 2-year-old saddle bred colt
belonging to w. T. Cory got out
Of his pasture north of town Wed
nesday night and was killed by q
train at the crossing at the north
end Of town early yesterday morn.
ing.
One big attraction at the La
clede fair not advertised on the
bills will be football game be-
tween Laclede high school and
some other high sehtd team. The
game will be matched in a day OF
two. The local boys are practicing
daily and expect to have a team
that will be even Better than last
years. There are abont thirty in
the football squad this year, in
cluding nearly all of last years
team, and the boys are expecting
to have the best team in the his
tory of the school.
Jas. T. Bassett of route three
will hold a public sale Of grain,
feed, farming implements and
some household furniture, at his
home three niles northeast of
Lacle,,o this (Friday) afternoon,
beginning at l o'clock. Mr.. Bas-
sett and family will soon leave
for their new home at Walnut,
Kansas, where their son, W. H.,
already lives. Mr.. Bassett has
not sold his farm and we hope that
this excellent family will make
their stay in Kansas only a more
or less extended visit, and then
como back home to live.
There is not more than one house
for rent in Laclede now and a
dozen or more families want to
move here. Our splendid public
schools draw many here. Others
have moved here for, business
reasons or because they find La
clede the most beautiful, well-kept,
progressive little city in the state.
And the rush has only begun.
Somebody will have to build some
new houses and they must be good
ones. Whether they will be built
by those who already own pro-
perty here or by the newcomers
remains to be seen, but they will
be built, and that seen.

Laclede Fair

AS usual, everybody is getting
ready for the annual Laclede fair,
where you will meet all your old
friends and make many new ones.
The displays this year promise to
surpass anything over shown be-
fore.
One thing that many will take
advantage of will be the fact that
DR.. Pratt, the we'll known optician
of Brookfeld, will be at the
Anderson house all day during the
fair, where he will be prepared to
test eyes and prescribe the proper
glasses.

Some Evening Revsries.

Wnero IL Iuy DOy COulgnC! You
are his father or mother, and if
you desire to lay your hands on
your boy within five minutes any
night, you wouldn't know where
to find him. He is on the street
somewhere, or at the depot jump
ing on freight trains, but just
where, with whom, in what en-
gagged, what plotting or executing
for the shrewder ones who plot for
him, you could not tell for the
life of you. He has good home
and he ought to be there at night.
He desires to be somewhere else
with the boys, and you lack the
moral courage to insist that he
shall be where he should be. You
hope that he will escape the pitfall,
but you know the chances are
against him. Why don't you do
the boy the kindness to keep him
at home nights9 The time will
come when he will thank you for
it or reproach you for not doing
it.
We are not angels; we are only
men and women, and we share the
imperfection of manhood. We are
not perfect apples; we are speckled
apples-all Of us. We do not care
how deep and sweet and tender
and accordant love may tender the
home life, it cannot but happen
that in the close contact in the
every day openness> and disclosures
of the home, our bad points will
come out. No family is made up
of perfectly straight sticks, but
crooked ones. And when they are
piled together in the closeness of
home life the crookedness will ap-
pear. The man and woman
married the most utterly, married
along the whole line Of their
natures, must yet find some point
where there is not complete con-
tact. There is dissimilarity of
education. Before musicians can
pour forth perfect harmony, they
must bring their instruments into
perfect tune. Before two hearts
can perfectly strike together, they
must be keyed to the same note,
that cannot be altogether done be-
fore marriage. The exact real
self does not appear in courtship.
1t is the best self, the self
dressed in the best wardrobe of
manners and The sentiment and
sacrifice, that appears then. After
marriage the self puts on it's
common habits for what it is. |
Then each real self must adjust
itself to each real self; then must |
each bear and forebear, then must
any incompatiHlity be met and
mastered by mutual charity which
suffereth long and is kind. which
never faileth.

An Exciting Scramble

downward" (" are worse than any
thing heretofore in use, the people
who looked ON at the struggle fol
Rummell's free suits on Main street
Monday afternoon saw something
nearer like a battle than any con-
test ever witnessed on the gridirOn
AS advertised, this popular cloth
ing store gave away, absolutely
| gratis, nine suits of boys school
clothes, the only requirement being
that the receiver was to prove bis
right to the goods by securing the
garments, fastened in a cloth sack,
after a free -for-all, rough and tum-
BILE mixup.
More than an hour before the
time set, the urchins began to as
semble, and long before five O'Clock
Brookfeld's widest thoroughfare
was practically blocked with a howl
ing mob of contestants and equally
expectant onlookers.
At the appointed hour Mr.. Rum
NELL stepped into the arena and af-
ter one strenuous hour he had
proved his ability TO officiate on
any gridiron and will be in active
demand with the high school eleven
later in the fall.
Despite the presence of such a
swarm Of youngsters, some difficult
ty was experienced in getting en-
tries for the 16-year-old class; but
finally two equally matched boys OF
that age advanced into the ring and
the coveted costume sailed down
from an upper window into the up
reached arms of the contestants.
Both grabbed it simultaneously
and the struggle was on. The
spectators closed in about them so
tight that if it had been a fist fight
there would have been no room for
blows, but as it was the rivals who
had both grabbed the sack just held
on like bulldogs, and, as there
seemed to be no advantage of one
over the other, the magnanimous
umpire announced that each of
them had earned a suit of clothes
and both Peacie King and Bennie
Stuffiebean were made happy.
There were plenty of entries for
the 14-year-old event, and in a short
time Roger Barr emerged from the
scrimmage heap with the goods.
For the third number on the pro-
gram nine South Side boys were
among the entrants, and after half
an hour of the hottest scrambling
on record, during which this bunch
had worked out of the crowd and
down the street to the railroad, the
suit was torn to pieces, and police
man Kent interfered when the
youngsters were almost exhausted.
Under his leadership they all came
back to the store and were soon
satisfied with thirty-five cents
apiece, being the price of the suit
divided into nine equal parts.
The remaining suits were obtain
ed after desperate exertions by
Randall Hoskins, Paul Mcdonald,
Rowland King, Fay Jacobs and one
other boy who departed for home
with his prize so quickly that his
name was not learned.
OF course some of these suits did
not fit the successful contestants,
but Mr.. Rummell allowed them to
exchange for sizes to suit and all |
were soon satisfied. The whole
crowd was very good humored, and
probably never in the history of |
The town has so much strenuosity |
been manifested without i'll feeling. |
