His Mama Mas MIka.N

1 venture to assert that no one has
the nerve to say that he ever hailed the
late Wayne MacVeagh as 'Ikey." But
Ike he was in his boyhood
His parents christened him Isaac
Wayne MacVeagh, and his first law
sign in West Chester read. IT. Wayne
MacVeagh."
But, like Thomas Woodrow Wilson
and Stephen Grover Cleveland, he long
ago amputated what annoyed him as a
superfuous name-improved it, too, and
made it sound far more distinguished
Those Of us who only knew the steel
eyed, sharp tongued, witty, brilliant
and eloquent MacVeagh, lawyer, states
man and politician, cannot possibly
think of him as Ike. - Philadelphia

to the new teachers home. 1t pays
TO become famous, to say the least
This kind offer will very likely be
accepted with thanks. Mr.. Phaend-
er asks, Sind in Ihrer Gegend viele
Deutsche." This was sent in through
the kindness of J. A. Schulz, mayor
of the village council. The board of
education intend making their school
plant beauty spot this spring.
1t was very pleasant to hear from
two past Chokio school superinten-
dents in connection with the teach
ers' manse. Supt. Gloor and Supt.
| Selke, who are at Mound and Mabel,
Mimi, respectively. They both con-
graduate the people of Alberta, and
are asking for all possible informa-
| ton on this proposition. They are
working hard to secure a home for
teachers at the Consolidated school
at Mound, Mimi. This place is out
in the open country, and there is no
place for the teachers to stay. 1t is
pleasure to hear from these old
timers of Stevens county.
Among the many inquiries coming
in, asking about this school and it's
work are the following: Smith &
Smith Co., Woodbine, Iowa; Vaala
& Natwig Co., Lawler, Iowa; School
Education Magazine, Minneapolis,
Mimi, the principal educational
| journal in the northwest; The Farm
er Magazine, Webb Publishing Co.,
ST. Paul Mimi. The Farmers Wife,
Webb Publishing Co., st. Paul,
Mimi; Northwest Farmstead Maya
zine, Minneapolis, Mimi. There are
inquiries from three different states.
The board of education has now de-
cided to have a circular letter print
ed, giving the information asked for
by most of these inquiries, so that
the answering of these letters will
not take so much time from the work
of Mr.. Grafelman and Mr.. Maanum.
Mr.. Frank Murphy of Wheaton,
who is travelling in California, sent
clipping from the paper there,
| telling about the teachers home at
Alberta, MINI. He expresses regret
that he could not be present at the
dedication of this institution. Mr.
Murphy promises that there will
soon be teachers manse in Whea-
ton.
The Pig Growing Club will have
it's meeting next Tuesday, afternoon.
At that time Mr.. Ben Busch will

the first prizes on hogs at the coun-
ty fair last fall. This will be treat

Friday evening, March 2, there
will be double header" basket ball

The action Of the city Of brother'y

that some persons are killed and
many injured by Fourth of July cele-

Of the larger cities to forbid expo

occasion.
There is a good reason why suca
