Money Sent to Northland colleoe Helps Worthy Students--Whist Par tiss-The Kings Daughters in An nual Meetin9.

The First Congregational church Sunoay scnooi has received a letter acknowledging money which they sent on few weeks ago to be used in l1elp- Ing those who are trying so hard to get an education.
 The letter reads: All gifts very ac- ceptale and much needed, but the fact that you all earned yours made 1t mean so much more. Our boys and girls have to work so hard to pay their expenses that they know very little bat constant work either at school or TOT tneir living. l am going to tell you what few of them do
 During vacation the boys who did not have the money to pay their fare nome remained at the school and went out to the thick woods each day and sawed and hauled wood. That is pret- ty hard work when the logs are so big ant heavy. and there is no shelter from the cold. When the driver went back just before dinner, some of the girls and teachers went back with him With box full of warm dinner, and the merry shout of welcome that went up from the ten hungry boys made us forget that we had had a long cold ride. They had a crackling big pine fire ready, and we warmed up the sav- ory dinner and had a midwinter pic- nic for while every day.
 Even though our boys and girls have to work most of the time, they are the jolliest lot of young people and the parlors ring with their happy voices most of the time. Theey are happy over the chance to be here at all and get an education. We all send our sir1cerest thanks for your gift and will not soon forget your loyalty.
