Tripp a Candidate

There was some talk in the
city the first of the week to the
effect that w. E. Trip, chair.
man of the town of Trip, had
entered the field as a candidate
for the Office of County Judge.
Mr.. Trip was formerly a resi-
dent of he town Of Iron River
but now resides in the town of
Tripp. He has large acquaint-
ance TIN oughout the county.
Judge Trip was in the city
today and stated that as yet he
had not entered the field but
that he might decide to do SO.
Edwards F. Daniels of Iron
River is also spoken of as being
a candidate for the Office.
If these two gentlemen decide

The prunkard,a Cloak.

One of the quaint instruments Of tor.
ture in England in olden time was a
device known as the drunkard's cloak.
It was made Of wood and in shape re-
sembled a huge inverted fowerpot
Through the small circular aperture in
the top was thrust the neck Of the i'm.
prisoned inebriate. The weight Of this
ancient counterpart Of the stra1tjacket
fell on the victims shoulders and was
sufficient to make every bone In bis
body ache. With his hands practically
pinned to his sides and the garment
reaching almost to the ground the only
motion allowed him was 2 slow shuttle
of his weary feet as he dragged his
way painfully along. One can well be-
lieve that any one who had been com
PEELED to don the drunkard's cloak
would be very apt to come to the con
clusion that a high old time was not
worth having at the price.

Rivarol's Wit,

Antoine Rivarol, the French epigram
matist of the eighteenth century, was
80 brilliant that something good was
expected of him every minute. Once
when he had been invited to dinner, al
which the hostess especially wished
him to shine, he sat quite silent. The
attitude of disappointed expectancy In
the company nettled him, and at last
Rivarol made stupid remark. Every
body uttered an exclamation.
"There," said Rivarol, 81 cannot say
stupid thing without every ones cry
ing, Thief"
At a dinner in the house of some
Germans he made joke. His hosts
put their heads together inquiringly
Rivarol said to his neighb0r, French
man:
"Look at the Germans pooling their
wits to understand q joke"

Growth of Rocks,

Rocks do not grow in the sense that
a plant grows. They may increase by
accretion, and they may undergo chem
ical change. The old sea bed, being
lifted up, becomes sandstone and lime
stone. The volcanic ash and lava
strewn over the plains become tufa,
hard enough for building stone. The
pebbly shore of a river becomes con-
glomerate. The simple mineral does
grow, however, when it takes a crystal
form. The sparkling prism Of quartz
increases from an atom to crystal
as large as a forearm by a process of
addition and assimilation, wonderfully
slow, but beautifully regular, exactly
as crystals of ice form on the window
pane.

year, and it might be well for
the people of the city to begin
giving the matter some thought.
The mem bers of the school
board have known of this condi-
ton for some time but have been
fighting shy of tackling the pro-
position and for this reason the
question has not come up before
the board at their meetings, yet
individual members have been
giving the proposition a good
deal of thought and study.
There is a number of plans
that have been thought of. One
is the building of an addition to
the Walker school building and
the other is the building of a new
high school building. Either

A Problem That Voters
Must Soon Consider

proposition would necessitate
the expenditure of from 500, 900
to $4,000. The question of the
expense is the one serious obsta-
Gle to confront the people of the
city a I'd the cheaper plan may
have to be considered.
In this article it might be well
to give the people some idea of
the growth of our schools in the
past eighteen years. In 1895
the Walker High School was
built at a cost of about $4,000.
At that time there was two
school buildings in the city. the
Pioneer school and the Lincoln
school. These were becom ming
crowded and the need of new
building was necessary. Finally
it was voted to build the Walker
building and when this was
completed it was thought that it
would fill the needs for all time
to come unless the city expert
enced a wonderful growth. Very
few dreamed that the time would
come when more room would
have to be provided and the Pho
neer building was disposed of.
This was purchased by the St.
Louis congregation for use as a
Parochial school. About thirteen
years ago the Pioneer building
was purchased back by the city
and a year or so following the
Garfield school was built.
With four buildings it was
thought that this would be suf-
ficient room for many years.
But within a very few years
rooms again became crowded
and it became necessary to make
other arrangements. Rooms on
the third floor of the Walker
building were fitted up and at
the present time three of these
are now in use and the fourth
will nave to be fitted up for a
class room the coming year.
This will use up every bit of idle
room in the schools.
In considering the building of
an addition to the Walker school
two things have to be considered.
One is the need of a new heating
plant for the entire building if
the capacity is increased for the
present plant is only large
enough to supply the present
demands. The other is the
question of light.
School teachers and men who
have given the school question
some study favor the plan of
building new building for
High School purposes.

Shadeless Forests.

Large tracts of dense forests In Aus
tralia are practically shadeless. Many
kinds of trees in that strange country
turn their edges instead Of the fat sur
face Of the leaves to the sun, and thus
one may stand under tree Of enor-
nous size and be as fully exposed to
the sun as though he were in the open
plain. Travel through these forests is
said to be exceedingly arduous work,
as the trees, while they do not cut on
the sun, prevent the breeze fromtreach-
ing the ground. and thus the traveller
experiences q sitting heat.

The time is not far distant
when the people of this city will
come face to face with the prob
lem of providing more room for
the pupils of the public schools.
While people generally have not
given the subject a great deal of
thought, yet the time is coming
within the next few years when
the need of more room in the
public schools will become so
pressing that some solution of
the problem will have to be
thought out.
At the present time the high
school room at the Walker school
is taxed to it's fullest capacity.
At the beginning of the present
semester seats were changed
about in order to utilize every
available foot of room in order to
accommodate the one hundred and
eighty people in the room. The
limit has now about been reached.
With the population Of the city
gradually increasing the number
entering high school from the
grades is growing each year and
it may be that the problem of
arranging for more room will
have to be faced before another

The theory has been advanced and

forces aid materially in the growth d
plants SO equipped by nature. One iff
