Man SCHOOL norEs

At four, p. M, that is immed-
lately after the dismissal of our
school, Monday afternoon, Mr..
Vests class room was the scene
Of the congregating Of the ath-
letic portion Of this high school.
A certain portion of the students
is meant. The members of the
first basketball team, and others,
who are seen with a certain de-
gree of regularity at the daily
pratices at the Armory, consti-
tute the portion above mentioned.
This athletic assembly was enter
tanned by an oratorical program,
rendered by Mr.. West, the coach,
and Miss Fulton, city superintend-
ent of schools. The girls did not
remain for the entire meeting, as
they were to have practices that
afternoon. The reporter, not able
to be present, the substances Of
the various orations cannot be
given. Suffice it to say that they
dealt largely with athletics.
Miss Fulton is endeavoring to
schedule a game with the Lidger-
wood boys for this coming Satur-
day evening, but whether or not
she will be able to do so is not
definitely known. Would that she
could! For it has been so long
since an enemy has felt the keen
ness of our sword that the stu
dents are beginning to wonder
how sharp they really" are.
Pamphlets, and various other
literary magazines, and articles
being issued by the different mem
bers of the Junior class, compris-
ing large number of jokes, con-
corning and relating to the deeds
and misdeeds of certain members
BY the way, it will be noticed
that the Junior bulletin board,
contrary to their custom up to
this time, is entirely free from
hierglyphics or any other form of
writing.
A few of the upper classmen
have been selected for the giving
of recitations at a program, that
is to be given here on Lincoln's
birthday. Suitable material is at
present being sought for. Fur
Their facts relating to this pro-
gram will be given at a later date.
Catherine Murray, Sophomore
is pianist this week. She is the
first person, outside of the Sen
ior class, to have held this posi-
tion.
Examinations are coming on a
pace. The climax will be reached
in a short time.
The reporter has just learned
that we will have a game with
Lidgerwood, Saturday night, Jan.
II, at the Armory. Remember the
date.

How to Make Vacuum Machine Useful
to Oriental Carpets.
The autumn is good time to repair
rugs. II there are moth holes in orr.
entail rugs have them nended by q pro.
fessional. If the fringe is ragged and
rough trim 1t evenly. If the selvage
edges are worn overland them before
they become really ragged.
The vacuum cleaner is really boon
to the oriental rug. The nap is thor
oughly cleaned without being pulled
out, as it sometimes is pulled out when
rugs are beaten. Even vacuum
cleaner should be used on fine rugs
with care, and it should be rolled up
and down the rug with the nap rather
than across it.
1t is of course desirable to have orr
entail rugs perfectly clean. The idea
that they look older or more artistic
when they are soiled is absurd. But
clean them carefully. Once year
wash them with wool soap and warm
water and dry them evenly. so that
they will lie fat and smoothly on the
floor. And always sweep them gently.
though thoroughly. In the winter,
when there is snow. sprinkle it over
them when you are brushing them and
watch the colors regain marvellous
freshness.
Careful attention prolongs the life of
rug as nothing else can prolong 1t.
The ordinary wear and tear Of years
will not bring about half as many ba3:
results as will the neglect Of single
month or season.

the ENDLESS CHAIN

Merchants who advertise only
in out-of-town newspapers of
by circulars that do not bear the
imprint of the home paper, are
aiding very materially in driving
trade of all kinds away from
home, their own included. If the
home merchants set the example
of going away from home to
spend their money, many other
people will thereby be encouraged
to do the same. For every dol
lar that is sent out Of town for
printing, at least ten other dol
lars are by that method induced to
be sent out of town for goods that
could be bought to just as good
advantage at home.-Fhe Fros-
burg (Md.) Spirit.

Synthetic Milk.


Chemists have long been working to
perfect vegetable milk that will not
be connected with any special vegeta-
BILE, and this result apparently has
been reached by Professor Rigler. As
a basis for his invention he has made
use Of a new synthetic compound. the
whole manufacturing process of which
requires but two hours and IL but .
simple formula. The albumens are Of
plant origin and are introduced into
the article by a means which Pro-
fessor Rigler has not yet made known.
The solution, 1t is said, will give OF
cream upon standing and can be used
in cooking and for drinking purposes
with as good results as the genuine
article.

How to Economic In the Kitchen.
THE prime idea in the layout Of
the modern kitchen is the saw
ing Of space. Space saving
reduces expenses, insures bet
ter food and saves servants. Some
surprising ingenuities to this end have
been devised in recent years. The idea
is that all unnecessary steps should be
avoided and that all shall be so ar
ranged that everything will be within
easy reach Of the workers hands with
out the necessity for frequent trips
across the room or when meals are
being served from the kitchen to the
dining room. Chief among the space
savers is the kitchen cabinet, a glori-
fed pantry or perhaps the kitchen me-
chanics work bench and tool chest
combined. By the way. the term
"kitchen mechanic" originally invent
ed to apply to female mental servants,
usually Of foreign origin. might well
be employed nowadays as distin-
gushing term, designating one with
sufficient mechanical genius to operate
successfully the multitude of mechan.
ical devices designed for kitchen Use.
To large extent modern kitchen ma.
chinery is offered and used largely for
the purpose of dispensing with the
kitchen mechanic, old style. But the
old designation might properly remain
and apply to the modern culinary oper-
ator IL its old meaning should totally
disappear.
But to return to the kitchen cabinet.
It is really a very respectable piece of
furniture In appearance, and its versa
tility is unlimited. Among other things,
it has numerous shelves, cupboards,
closets, fitting and removable -four
bin, detachable -four sitter, sugar
bin, a pounding and cutting board, an
extension sliding table top, a ventilated
cooling cupboard, rack for the gro
GERS bills, and so on indefinitely. It ia
not nearly as expensive as it sounds,
and the number of edibles that can be
made or prepared for the stove in, on.

would I'll several large, closely printed
cook books.
The cabinet is of several varieties as
regards the materials Of which it is
made, but wood is always the chief
one, Of course. while the main differ
ences in the varieties is in the extern
sion table top. which may be of nickel
old, aluminium or porcelain, while the
interior woodwork is either vanished
or enameled. 1t is not intended that
the cabinet shall hold a. seasons sup

into pies, cakes and pastry. but It is
amply competent to store away liberal
quantities of edibles. either already
made or yet to be made.

favored with a very excellent Sc

In the evening the younger
people were we'll represented in
numbers. The second illustrated
sermon of the series of seven,
"How We Got Our Bible" was
given. Representative views of
ancient architecture, built by
people who in their age attained
high standards Of culture, showed
that art and culture alone were
not enough to bring man to God.

How to Mark the Bride Elects Silver.
Every girl who buys silver for a
bride elect is confronted with the
problem whether she shall follow the
familiar plan Of having the silver
marked with the initials that the
young woman is now giving up for all
time or defy custom and use the
brides initials to be. It is interesting,
therefore. to know that leading silver
smiths not only sanction the use Of the
bridegroom's last initial-a single let
ter engraved In the old English style
being the prevailing fashion-but when
asked which Is preferable they In
variably urge the use Of what will
henceforth be the family initial.

MADE FIRST BIG STAKE
ON THE coMSTock

Charles N FELTON,, former United
States senator from California, who
died at his home in Menlo Park on
Sunday, made his first big stake on
the Comstock. FELTON, came to Cali
fornia with the gold rush of 1S49.
Shortly after his arrival he was paid
$500 for standing guard over a hay
stack with a gun to repel marauders.
With this money FELTON, opened a
mining camp store in San Francisco
and in a few months accumulated
$4,000 from the sale of pickles, which
the miners used as a palliative for
scuryy. FELTON, was one of the own
ers OF the famous Comstock lode, and
sold his share for $4,000.
