tlon TO Or. and Mrs. Sims
PROMINENT IN MASONIC CIRCLES
Cut Glass and Silver We're Pres
ented With Appropriate
Addresses

The members of the Order of
the Eastern Star and the Ma
sonic bodies of Bottineau gave
la farewell reception at the
Masonic temple Friday evening
in honor of DIR. and Mrs.
Thomas Sims who left Satur-
day for their new home at
Woodburn, Oregon.
There was an attendance of a
hundred, including about TWEEN
ty from Willow City. The
evening was devoted to cards
and music and b fine banquet

the direction of the women of the
Eastern Star. After the ban
quet short program Of toasts

ing as toast1naster, and re-
sponses being given by Walter
Master and F. c.. Grimes of
Willow City, Peter Scott and
John H. G. Turner. On behalf
of the Masons and the members
of the Eastern Star at Willow
City, DR.. and Mrs. Sims were
presented with a fine cut glass
water set, Mr.. Grimes making
the presentation. The Masonic
bodies in Bottineau and the
members of the Order of the
Eastern star gave them a pretty
silver tea set, Mr.. Turner
presenting the gift on behalf
of the donors. DIR. Sims re-
sponded feelingly after which
the company sang God be
With You Till We Meet Again.
DIR. Sims has been one of the
most active members of the
Masonic bodies in this city and
his place will be hard to fill.
He is past master of Tuscan
lodge, a past high priest of
Phoenicia chapter of Royal
Arch Masons, past worthy
patron of Alpha chapter of the
Order of the Eastern Star and
at the time of his departure
was serving as generalissimo
of Lorraine commandery of
Knights Templar, but one step
from the highest office. He
was one of the incorporators of
the Masonic Temple association
and to his energy and enthu-
siasm much of the credit is due
for the completion of the beau
tiful home the Masonic bodies
now enjoy. DIR. Sims was also
prominent in the grand lodge
and grand chapter. being senior
grand deacon of the grand
lodge of North Dakota and
grand scribe in the grand chap
ter.
The local Masonic bodies feel
keenly the loss of so valued
member of the fraternity and
join with the people of this
community in wishing him
and Mrs. Sims health and pros
perity in their new home in the
west.

INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION
Brief Article On the Subject by Mem
her Of Hlgh School Faculty

No innovation in modern
education has become so popu-
lar or has grown so rapidly as
that which pertains to prepara-
ton for industrial pursuits.
The three forms of industrial
education are domestic science,
agricultural and manual train
ing. The first is for the bene-
tit of the girls and our school
offers a strong and thorough
course along this line. Agri-
cultural is not. given, but the
school does offer work in
manual training for all the
boys in the eighth grade and in
the high school who desire to
elect it.
Being comparatively new
venture here, very complex
work and processes which re-
quire very elaborate equip
ment will not be attempted,
but the course which has been
outlined for this year will in
clude practice with the princi-
pal tools used in wood work
working, methods of construc-,
ton and the actual making Of
articles which are not only
useful but may also add to the
beauty of the homes to which
they are brought. Some orig
inal designing will be done but
only after considerable work
from prepared drawings has
been done. Correct principles
Of construction are brought
out and the proper order in
which the work is done is in
sisted upon. An example of
this is the emphasis placed up
on having the pieces absolute
~ smooth and all edges square
before any further work is per-
mitted. A few of the cabinet
makers joints will also be
made for the sake of practice
in work which requires great
accuracy and also that their
application may be brought out.
AL articles made will be prop
erly finished in some of the
many methods in vogue. 1t is
true that a piece well made in
every way may be spoiled by
improper finish, 50 as much at
tention will be paid to this as
to the making.
The aim is not to make cars
penters or cabinet makers or TO
prepare for any other trade.
The high school is not and
does not desire to become a
trade school, but il does aim to
better prepare the stud dents for
any work they enter and to
better fit into their environ
nent and with this in view,
Draining of the mind alone is
not suf6cient The hand must
he trained Az well.

Good Manners

From the New York Telegram.
 What are good manners?
 Tact" one says; kindness of heart" another prefers.
 This question, asked and answered in a thousand different ways by Petro- nius, Lord Chesterfield and other arbi- ters of elegance, arises again in the present day, when manners seem an art lost in the maelstrom of money-making.
 It must be owned, though, that this is not an age of ideal manners. So many people who ought to know better allow themselves to be very rude to those they do not know, or whom they consider outside their own narrow circle Then, too, they indulge in hab- its which not long ago would have been considered a shocking breach of good manners. Thus they put their elbows on the table, even at parties, they all talk at once, and as to cultivating a
 Voice ever soft.
 Gentle and low, an excellent thing in
 woman
 it is quite the fashion to shout at ones friends as If they were all deaf.
 Then, too, a .repose of manner was con- sidered at one time essential to the well bred woman, but this is an ideal long consigned to the past. Everyone f1dgets in these days, no one has time to sit still, nor to listen for more than min ute at time without being bored and showing 1t.
 In fact, we seem to be getting back to where our ancestors started in this mat ter: they had no time for manners, neither have we, though for vastly different req sons

 ROPE OF PEARLS

Paris, May 2S.-(Special.)-Gabys Deslys is in the lmelight again, and this time the cause is a rope of pearls which makes her the p,ost envied woman in all Paris.
 King Manuel's infatuation for the dancer was not as great as is that of a wealthy Cuban named Unzue.
 If you care for me- said Gaby you will buy me that rope of pearls at La Cloche.'
 Then dit M. Unzue hasten to La Cloche. The pearls represented the ex- pert collection of many years. and the rope cost s100000.
 "Wcll," said Gaby, my king could not afford to pay that" Then chaperoned by her sitter, the beauty consented to sup with the Cuban at Maxims. Gaby wears the pearls In the daytime. The ropa reaches from head to toes total length of 10 feet, and with her Svelte figure and Pomersniarl dog she is the exposure of all eyes when she appears on the boulevard. No such pearl has been presented to a rejgoir beauty since Cardinal De Rohan gave the historical necklace to Marie An ti0helte.

Clerks and Aristocracy

There are vari- ous views as to the manner In which "clericus" was derived from this, some holding that the service of God was regarded as the lot or portion of the priests, others that they were them selves the portion of the Lord and oth- CTS that original choice of them by lot may be the explanation.
