life had high reputation as chem
list. was once called to give evidence re-
garding a certain brand of wine. AS
he testified that it was totally inno-
cent of grape juice the merchant was
severely fined. On coming out Of court
the defendant asked Herman. How is
it that you were able to swear so posi-
lively that there is no grape juice ID
that stuff Of mine?
Because if there had been any in

M. E. Sunday School Picnic.


On Wednesday of this week the M
E. Sunday School went to the lake fol-
picnic, and in spite of the weather
being disagreeable, all had jolly
good time. Among the sports en-
gagged in was foot racing, peanut rae
ing and toboganing down a large
straw stack.
Mrs. Cooley and Mrs. Ortman were
tied in one of the ladies' races, and
Mrs. Harris won in another. Miss
Clara Rasmussen won the young
ladies' race, and Mildred Ortman the
girls race.
The peanut race was won by Geo.
Prick, Jr. The winners in the boys
races were Dick Harris, Carl Rasmus-
sen, Paul Lentz and Lester Etter.
But the greatest sport was the to-
began slide down the old straw stack.
They were not all children either,
who engaged in this.
Thru the kindness of the automo-
bilists we were furnished a fine ride
without any accidents. We found
Mr.. Perkins and family people who
make friends by their kindnesses to
the public.

The Care Of Evsrgrssns.

Do not overlook the pruning, or per-
haps we would say cleaning. of ever
green's. as it consists of little more than
taking out the dead branches and
twigs. If you open the branches and
look into the center of most evergreens
you will find mass of dead twigs and
leaves. All this should be cleaned out,
and if the plant is not too dense on the
outer side you will find new growth
start from where you have taken the
dead wood. The plants will be much
benefited, as it will remove the harbors
of injurious insects and disease.-Mee-
hans Garden Bulletin.

School Meeting.

The annual school meeting will be
held at the Longfellow school building
on Saturday evening. The terms of
DR.. Amos Leuty and DIR. @. E. Game
as members of the board expire this
year and it is understood that they
are both candidates for reelection.
No other candidates are announced.
The conduct and management of
the schools under the present board
has been generally satisfactory. The
school buildings and equipment have
been kept repaired and in good con-
dition, and an able corps of teachers
have been employed. Expenses have
been cut down as much as has been
consistent with maintaining the eff
fciency of the schools. The tax levy
for next year will be only $4,000 as
against 81 900 for last year and $4,000
for the year before that.

How RaIzac Wrote.

OF all literary toilers Baizac was GER
tafnly the most eccentric in his meth
DDS. At first he would write his novel
in few pages. hardly more than the
plot. These would be sent TO the print
err. who would return the few printed
columns of matter pasted into the CEN
ter of several large sheets. On this
margin Balzac would work. sketching
his characters. composing the dialogue
and perhaps altering entirely the orig
inaI plot of the book. For four or five
times this process was repeated until
at last the few columns had assumed
the proportions Of a volume. This ex-
traordinary way Of building a book
naturally ran away with consider
able share Of the profits on the work.

Cairo Street Warnings.

In oriental countries the recklessness
of drivers of vehicles and their disre-
gard for foot passengers are very
marked, but in Cairo they have a
series of curious cries with which they
warn a footman. They specify the
particular part of his anatomy which
is in danger, as thus: Look out for
thy left shin, o uncle" boy, have a
care for the little toe on thy right
fOOt"' 20 blind beggar, look out for
thy staff!' And the blind beggar, feel
ing his way with the staff in his right
hand. at once obediently turns to the
left. 20 Frankish woman, look out for
thy left footv' 20 burden bearer. thy
load is in dangerv 20 water carrier.
look out for the tail end Of thy pigskin

June was the month which the an
cient Romans considered the most pro-
pitious season of the year for contract
ing matrimonial engagements. espe-
cially if the cay chosen were that of

was especially to be avoided as under
the influence of Spirits adverse to hap
