For Consolidation

Mr.. John NOvak of Lake Andes
was passenger on last Friday for
points in Texas and Oklahoma.
Our towusmen J. w. Hrusla and
G. G. Alard rode to YanktOn with,
him. On the way the cOnversa-
tiOn drifted into school talk and
Mr.. Hruska asked Mr.. Novak
where he now lives. His answer
was that six miles east and five
miles north of Lake Andes found
him on splendid farm but near u
poor little dinky country school
house. My children, said. Mr..
Novak, had the advantage of the
consolidat ed school in Ravinia last
winter and this year having little
or no chance are very much dis
satisfied. Upon being questioned
for the die dvantages Of the CON
solids on plan he upheld it in all
its ems save the transportation.
Out.of The six mile limit Rayinia
was having trouble in hauling the
pupils. The busses were too hea-
w aud stalled ia the mud but this
was too remedied bv buying the
Ford busses. They pull the mud
of s. d. and do it satisfactorily.
So Tabor folks let us hurry the
election and lengthen the bounda-
ries Of our district; the taxes will
be equalized and business will nc
cumulate. Everyone desires more
business and if he does not he
should move to Russia or Mexico.
There il is everyone for himself
and all finally goes to The Bolshe
visit. Come on; build up Tabor
and every bit of country over
when this district will extend
Get it out of your head that tn cor
will reap the benefit. II will not.
Lets go!

A few of our local folks feasLed
on buffolo meat for Christmas
dinner and all hugely enjoyed the
treat. No i'll effects were noted
save OH one participant and we
think from what we can hear TINT
he must have eaten more than his
share. On passing Chastka's
store one day early in the week
we were startled by herring n
noise in the hardware department.
of that store. Upon asking if
something was wrong amongst the
stoves, shovels and chains we were
informed that Joe and Ed Petrik
were in there invoicing. When
we saw Ed he looked panied tired
and very greasy. Joe was in fine
mettle ana all clothes not soiled.
His hair was ruffled and his cap on
the floor. A peculiar twinkle
beamed from his eyes and The only
enlightenment we ever received
was from Ed when he said, "Joe's
been eating Buffalo meal. y

HIs Memory always sweet.

On August 8, 1903, Izaak Walton. un-

born at Stafford, England. Although
in his life Walton tasted much sorrow,
losing his seven children and his wife,
no author was the center of memories
Of such unmixed gentleness and peace.

referred to Is one Of the tribe Of
sacred cattle Of India. In the streets

Children.

Then why not pursue the study Of
children for yourself? The subjects
are always before you. No books are
needed, no costly drawings, no lee
lures, neither rtransparencies nor Illus
trations. Your specimens are all about
you.. They come and go at your bid
ding. They are not to be hunted fol
along the edge Of a precipice, on the
borders Of the wilderness, in the des-
ert, nor by the seashore. They abound
not In the uninhabitcd or unvisited
place, but in your very dwelling hous.
es, about the steps of your doors, in
every street Of every village, in every
green field, and every crowded thor
0ughfare. They flourish bravely In
snowstorms,. in the dust of the tram
pied highway. where drums are beat
Ing and colors flying, in the roar Of.
cities. They love the sounding sea
breeze and the open air. ami may
always be found about the wharves
and rejoicing before the windows Of
toy shops.-John Neal.

BEAR USED DIRECT METHODS
How Pet Grizzly Satisfied Curiosity
and Appetite in Eminent!y
Satisfactory Manner.

Mr.. Enos A. Mills tells us story OF
a bear whom he calls Miss Grizzly.
She was q pet bear, In sawmill in
the Medicine Bow mountains, was
never teased by the men and, there
fore, had a uniformly good diSposi-
tion. They did not try to teach her
tricks, but she seemed to pick them
up, one of her favorites being "cart.
wheeling" This meant that she wou!f
curl her nose behind her toes, have
one of the men start her with little
push down the slope near the mill,,an
then over and over she would roll. This.
she appeared to enjoy greatly. But
the funny incident was this: One day
a teamster brought her a bottle o.
catsup. Standing erect" writes Mr.,
Mills, "she took it deftly in her fore
paws. She was greatly interested in
it-probably In the color. In turning
1t about, she caught sight of floating
air-bubble Inverting the bottle from
end to end, she tried to make this out
she held 1t between her eyes and the
light, she shook it back and forth
close to her ear. Then going directly
to a nearby log, she brought the bot:
tie down upon it and catSup splashcd
in all directions. Her. curiosity salts
fed, she seemed to enjoy licking up
the catsup.'-Christian Science Mon

READING THE BIBLE ALOUD
Much Truth in Charge That Beautiful
Text Is Too often Interpreted In
UninteiIigent Manner.

1t Is strange that the reading Of the
Bible aloud in an acceptable manner
should neutrality-suspicious. In
superable difficulties, remarks writer
In the London Spectator. 1t is writ
ten in the finest English Of the finest
period. 1t concerns subjects Of uni
versal and undylng interest. 1t is en-
deared to every listener by tradition
and recollection. But the evidence
proves it Is hard to read well. Men
especially interested in philosophy and
religion, especially trained in Hebrew
and Greek literature, specially anxious
to bring the truths Of Scripture home
to their audience, read it for the most
part in abOminable fashion.
We cannot insult them by supposing
their weekly task an easy one. We
cannot, on the other hand, deny tlfat
the Old and New Testaments offer
great scope for fine reading. The task
OF the curate at lectern Is like the task
of the :executant before the piano. The
one has great literature before him;
the other great music. The audience
waits for his Interpretation. AS rule,
with many and marked exceptions, the
curate runs through his work in such
a mechanical and uDinterested manner
as would empty concert hall If imi-
tated by his brother artists. He reads
heroic passages as though they were
dull parish notices, arguments as cut.
and-dried snippets of dogmatiSm, and
shrewd proverbs as sacred poetry.

Insect Bothers Forest Rangers.

The ohnllette IS the "cootie' of. the
forest ra,r:tel's life. He does not get
on the ranser, but he gets in his tel
ephonc. which is much worse when
you are trying to telephone for help
on Il forest fire. The ohmlette just
delights in getting into the transmit
ter. and attempting to call up some of
his, forest friends. A buzzing starts,
says the American Forestry associa-
tion of Washington, that just about
puts the line out of business. The
ranger could take shot at the trans
mitter, but that of course, would
'sget" the phone, as well as the ohm
lette, so the ranger use,; G piece of a
moth ball and that settles it for Mr..
Ohmlette.
