sTUDEBAKER IS, MARVEL
OF ROAD; AWAITED

All over California The Studebaker 81
car. the wonder car which the Press S
offering as first prize in its contest, is
being awaited with great anxiety. There
are two cars in Los Angeles which
were sent to the Studebaker agency
there from the factory by express, bat
as yet none Of the cars shipped to the
state by freight have arrived.
Those who have seen the exhibition
ears in Los Angeles speak Of them as
the marvel of the automobile world.
1t is now believed that the first of
the cars will be seen in this valley
about the 18th.
The Press contest has been hand;-
capped by the fact that these cars are
not on exhibition, but the reason for
this is that the car offered is the very
latest thing from the factory, SO late
that deliveries have not yet begun any
where in the state.

Sickels and Wife Reconciied

NEW YORK, Dec. 5.-It looks as
though the much postponed sale OF
General Daniel Sickles' relics to satisfy
his debts, which was to have taken
place today, but which Sheriff Har-
burger has adjourned to December -,
is called off for good. The long sep
aratcd general and his wife have made
up and she has promised to pay the
$4,000 which General Sickles owes 10
the Bank of the Metropolis. 1t was said
last night that she had already handed
$500 to the bank officials and offered
to cable to Madrid for the rest.
General Sickles, now 90 years old,
was left yesterday in his home on Fifth
avenue surrounded by heaped up con-
fusion. His pictures had been taken
down, his statues removed from their
pedestals, his rugs and hangings had
been rolled, numbered and tagged for
sale. To every question as to whether
Or not he and his wife had finally ef-
fected a reconciliation and averted the
catastrophe he replied
mo, no: won't have it. That is
charity. | will accept no charity"
But John Delahunty, attorney for the
Hank of the Metropolis, said that the
hasis Of an agreement had been reache /
ma that there would be no sale.

When Napoleon III. was ap-
preaching sovereignty he asked a
judicious friend to observe him
carefully for week and to point
out to him anything that he did
which was not according to the
severest code of the manner Of a
we'll bred man. At the end Of the
week there was only one practice
which his friend had noticed. The
emperor after eating a boiled egg
invariably thrust his spoon through
it. Whence this practice has arisen

it was done originally in order tc

Miss Alice Brethorst, who has
spent five years as a missionary
in China. spoke last Sunday
morning and evening at tie
Methodist church. In the eve-
ming the church was crowded,
the resbyterians having given
up their service in order that all
might have an opportunity to
hear the story from China. At
first Miss Brethorst assumed a
studied style of oratory which
was far from being as effective
as was her talk a few minutes
later when it came directly from
the heart and was given natural
iy and without affectation.
Then she got firm hold on her
hearers who were held in wrapt
attention for more than an hour
while this devoted lady told of
the atrocious things she has wit
messed; Of the marvellous devo-
ton to the cause of Christianity
among the converts; of the great
need of money and service in
spreading the work, and of the
heart-hungeriOg Of the young
people in China for the better
life and opportunities for an
education. Several persons
were dressed up in costumes
brought from China and shown
to the congregation. Miss
Brethorst also exhibited a heath
en- god which had been Worship
ped in one of the temples. This
she had secured by presents to
one of the priests. She also had
a diminutive flag of the new
Chinese nation, coins, domestic
articles, etc., which were of in
terest to all present.

favored with a beautiful soprano

But two classes were visited in

has double the number that he
should, and it will be strange if

In the A Third, Miss Stevens
room, beginners in division were
at work on the black boards. AS
a rule, children find this a rather
difficult subject, but in this case
they appeared to be sailing along
very finely.
In the Fourth grade room
the work was also in arith-

more advanced and of more
difficult character. Miss Della

subject, but Miss Ethel NJ. JEFF

1t is the policy of the present
administration to place emphasis

work, yet a number of outside
activities are indulged in. The

seven out of eight games and
losing or being scored on only
by the Aberdeen team which
finished. anywa third in the

Sisseton at least fifth place and
the undisputed championship of
the minor high schools of the
state. The success of the team
in addition to the work of the
boys is due to the untiring ef-
forts and intelligent coaching
of Supt. Mcdonald and O.
