Let Us Not Wait Until Our

Do not keep the alabaster boxes OF
YOUR love and tenderness sealed up
until your friends are dead Fill their
lives with sweetness. Speak APPROX
ing, cheering words while their ears
can hear them and while their hearts
can be thrilled and made happier by
them; the kind things you mean to
say when they are gone, say before
they go. The flowers you mean to
send for their collins, send to brighten
and sweeten their homes before they
leave them. If my friends have ala
baster boxes laid away, full OF frag-
rant perfumes of sympathy and attec-
ton, which they intend to break over
my dead body, l would rather they
would bring them out in my weary
and troubled hours, and open them,
that | may be refreshed and cheered
by them while l need them. | would
rather have a plain coffin without a
flower, than a life without the sweet
ness of love and sympathy. Let us
learn to anoint our friends before
hand for their burial Postmortem
kindness does not cheer the burdened
spirit. Flowers on the coffin cast no
fragrance backward over the weary
way-AnOn.

HAS TWO
MILES OF FINE PAVING

DARLINGTON, Wis.-The paving
contracts which were commenced I'M
DER the administration OF ex-mayor
Orion and the previous council, were
completed last week. Darlington now
has over two miles of first class street
pavement, not many cities Of this size
can boast of the same. 1t has taken
money, but the work is permanent
and the cost in future years should be
small There is over one mile Of con-
crete street; four blocks, over 70 teet
wide, of brick laid on concrete, the
brick being bar brick and weighing
nearly eleven pounds each; and ten
blocks of asphalt concrete laid on
concrete.
The work was done by first class
contractors who are under bond. The
engineers cost included all assistance
given the city authorities in securing
bidders, preparing plans, making blue
prints, paying surveyors, supervision
of all work, and in general all work
concerning the pavement work, except
that covered by the contractors. The
uncompleted work was successfully
carried out by Mayor Peck and the
present council.-Republican Journal.

TO MOVE SANTA CLARA
CONVENT TO CHICAGO

The transfer of st. Clara college,
under title of Rosary college, from
Sinsinawa, Wis, to River Forest, ILL.,,
a suburb of Chicago, is significant
step in the higher education Of women.
The transfer will not close st. Clara,
which will be continued at SinsinaWa
as an academy
This new site, with it's thirty acre
wooded campus on the outskirts OF an
exclusive village, will afford some
what of a scholastic retirement, the
coveted asset of Sinsinawa. Supple
menting this advantage will be the I'M
paralleled opportunities OF convenient
access to a great city, the acknowl-
edged center of the perfected art OF
the leaders of the modern world.
The college buildings, designated by
the American master of Gothic archl-
lecture, Ralph Adams Cram, OF Bos-
ton, are unrivalled in the middle west
for beauty and academic fitness.
Excellent facilities for transporta-
ton to River Forest are afforded by
three railroads and by the electric
lines from the loop, the business cen
ter of Chicago, distance of ten miles.
The traditional standards OF st.
Clara college will find in Rosary col
lege splendid opportunity where, in
cultural environment, under a strong
faculty, students may prepare them
selves for all the avocations now open
to well trained college women.

CIRCUMLOCUTION OFFICE

That the Government in Washing
ton moves slowly and not always in
season is shown by this paragraph
from the Black River Falls Journal:
"W. E. Dunn, the government In
dian agent, went to Wyeville, last
week to pay out the government
money to the aged and infirm Indians
who were destitute and likely to die
on account of the extreme cold OF
weather. Of course winter is over and
hot weather is here, but nevertheless
Mr. Dunn was down at Wyeville, re-
lieving the winter distress OF the IN
dams. 1t may sound bit odd. In
fact it is a bit odd, but Mr.. Dunn cant
help that. He is government agent
and when the government tells MIN
TO throw out a few gobs OF money as
relief from cold weather in dog days,
it's I'D to him to take fall out OF
winters cold It all comes from the
haste Of congress. Early last winter
g. bill was presented approprlatlng
S35O,O0O for the relief Of Indian sui
ferers. 1t was referred to the proper
committee. Then congress hastened
to forget about it. Finally on May 70,
the bill was passed and became law
The sense of voting money in May TO
relieve the suffering of the previous
January and February never seems to
have occurred to the watchdogs OF the
treasury. The sum allotted to the In
dams under Mr.. Dunn'S case is SoOO.
He paid out that money to the Indians
who suffered of cold and hunger last
winter. Perhaps about next Decem-
Der he will be ordered by congress to
buv linen busters and palm leaf fans
to keep members Of the tribe from
suffering sunstroke."

HERE'S TURTLE YARN
THAT BEATS FISHIEST

LADYSMITH, visa turtle story
that rivals in it's unusual claims the
"fshiest" of fish stories is going the
rounds of this community.
The story purpOrts, however, to be
authentic in every particular.
c. D. Paulson, a farmer living in
the town of Thornapple, while fishing
in the Thornapple river near its con-
fuence with the Chippewa, caught a
turtle that measured "a inches in
diameter, or four and half feet
across. The turtle put up plenty of
resistance in it's numbering way and
Mr. Paulson was able to land it only
after he had resorted to the gait hook.
The Paulson family is feasting on
turtle meat, which the captor asserts
is delicious The turtle is estimated
to have been century old

TAKES SOME IT BACK

We take back at least part OF the
mean things we said to the Lancaster
Herald in last weeks Record. Inc
last Herald published very good
argument favorable to consolidation
from the pen of State Superintendent
Holm Callahan. There are great
many similarly authoritative articles
in favor of the plan and we hope TO
see The Herald publish more OF them.
There are many other localities IN
Grant county in 2dditiOn to Blooming
ton where a Olidated school is
needed, and proper agitation and IN
formation by the county papers Will
help to bring about better schools all
over the county.-RecOrd.
The Herald heartily agrees with the
Record here. We believe in full and
free discussion of every public matter
so that the public may have all 1ntOr-
nation available in disposing OF any
question.
Where the Herald and Record dis
agree and where the Record has
chided us is in printing communlca-
tions. The Record seems to think 1t
should act as censor and critic of mat
fer handed in for publication. the
Herald puDllSHeS III hoCC0l non wv 80
without restrictions and without cen
sorship. We also assume no response
bility for other peoples effusions but
do assume all responsibility for any
matter emanating direct from the
Herald office
The general view Of public forum
is so widely understood in newspaper
dom that we are slightly amazed to
see the Record take the view that a
paper should act as critic, censor and
sponsor for communications sent by
readers for public perusal.
From our own standpoint we select
what we print with utmost care and
stand fully responsible for anything
selected or prepared by the editor.

DO BIG RIVERS BREAK
VIOLENCE OF BAD STORMS?

In speaking Of the recent heavy
storm the Crawford County Press re-
lates: 4 very interesting but as yet
unexplained fact in the movement of
thunder storms is that they will not
cross large rivers. The storm reach
ing the river, is stopped and held
stationary so that an unusually heavy
rate of rainfall usually occurs near
the front of the storm, but the storm
is utterly unable to cross the stream.
This probably accounts for the big
foods that have torn McGregor and
Marquette to pieces so many times,
as our big storms usually come from
g, westerly direction.

In parts of Greece, however, when a
