PRIMROSE LONG A FAvoRITE
Many Poets Have Written Of the Flow
er, But Only Shakespeare Really
Their Subject.

The poets quoted ia the Office Win
dow writes a correspondent, should
not mean that the primrose is deli
cate, but merely that it's time of flow
ering is a cold time, and that it can
never possess the fullness Of the later
sunshine. But unlike these easily SEN
timental poets Milton, forgive mel
Shakespeare alone is quite explicit.
Shakespeare alone has the natural
fact at heart and Identifies natural
fact with divine poetry. Spencer's
"untimely tempest" and Hilton's ''for-
saken" are both false, for tempest is
not untimely but timely during the
primrose's life; and the primrose is
not "forsaken" any more than a young
virgin is forsaken. Shakespeare ev-
cry time. Shakespeare forever.
The primrose Of old was credited
with a medicinal as we'll as q super
stitlous value. Even now In some
country parts a d%ecoction of primrose
leaves is supposed to restore a fail
ing memory. and in 1854, when Gull
peper wrote HE London DISPENSE
tory" the primrose was regarded as
an almost universal panacea, curing
"~convulsions, falling sickness, palsies,
ETC." and strengthening "the brain,
senses and memory exceedingly" And
even the healthy did not disdain to
eat 1t, for primrose pasty was once a
popular Lancashire delicacy. After
this n wonders if it is not a waste
to veal it in ones buttonhole.-Lon-
don Chronicle.

BRlToNs FIRST TO USE SOAP
Roman conquerors Said to Have
Transferred Custom to Italy,
From Whence 1t Spread.

One of the few inventions that are
not ascribed to foreign ingenuity is
that common household article
It Is said that the ancient Britons
were the first makers of soap, and
that the Romans, when they con
quered that islandotook the invention
back with them to Italy.
Most of what we wash with is made
from fat, but in foreign lands there
are natural soaps. The is the soap
root of Spain, the soap-berry of Chill.
and the bark Of the Peruvian soap
tree. At a little town in Mexico soap
actually takes the place Of copper
coinage! In another part of the same
South American republic the inhabi-
tants eat soap. finding much nourish-
ment therein. 4
The French term for soap, "savon,"
by the way, owes its origin to the
town Of Sayona, in France, where
vast Quantities of the material were
formerly manufactured.

Notice Of Teachers Institute

According to the Provisions of Arti-

of South Dakota, . County Normal
Institute will be held at Tyndall, South
Dakota, beginning August 18th and
closing August 23rd, 1918. Candidates
for school positions will govern them
selves accordingly.

ANNOUNCEMENT.

ANNOUNCEMENTS
The annual session of the Bon
Homme County Normal Institute
will be held at Tyndall, s. Dakota,
August 18th to 23rd inclusive. The
teachers who contemplate teach
ing in this county are expected to
be present during the entire ses-
sion. A cordial invitation is ex-
tended to young people who plan
to take up teaching at a later time.
School officers and school patrons
are also invited to visit the various
sessions of the Institute. Visitors
from other counties will be made
welcome.
THE PLAN
The Institute is an institution
provided for by u statutes. On
account of a peculiar wording of
the law, two schools of individuals
have arisen, those who favor the
one week institute and those who
favor an institute of two or more
weeks. 1t has seemed wise to the
management of the Bon Homme
county institute to organize a five
day session for the present year.
With that end in view, a corps
of instructors has been employed
which will endeavor to bring to the
teachers of Bon Homme County a
good strong inspiration and a
spirited enthusiasm for the work
of the new school year. 1t is hoped
that every member of the Institute
will find something of value in
every lecture and exercise that is
given during the week. The entire
Institute will be conducted o the
assembly plan. This gives each
member an equal chance with every
other member to get all that is
offered at the Institute. Members
are expected to avail themselves of
every opportunity to take the floor
and discuss the various subjects
that come up from day to day.
Enrolment
Teachers are expected to arrive
in Tyndall Monday morning and
make their arrangements for room,
board, etc. 1t is expected that all
teachers who are working for
Institute credit will have their
enrolment blank filled out and a
seat assigned to them before 1870
P. M. A membership Gard will
then be issued which will entltle
the holder to a seat in the Institute,
and all the rights and privileges
pertaining thereto.
Excuses
Persons who are graduates of uni.
versities, those who have been pur-
suing work in Summer Schools in
this or other states, and those who
have attended institute elsewhere
during the summer will be excused
from attendance during the present
session of the Bon Homme County
Institute, provided such persons
do not need certificate renewals
previous to July l, 1914. The
State Department, i'm renewing GER
t~ificates, recognizes but one kind
of Institute Attendance which is
designated as Satisfactory Attend
ance'. This office interprets "Sat-
isfactory Attendance" to mean full
and complete attendance.

The piano company took out

the girl into her home as a shelter,
the detectives soon discovered her.
Only her cleverness last Thursday
prevented her arrest. She answered
the door bell and stated she was not

Then she turned to Mrs. Pitkin and
said: :'You see, they're after me-"
Mrs. Pitkin told her to go downtown
and promised to meet her there and
give her some money to get away,
but she did not see Elizabeth again.
