At 2 o'clock the large room of the Public School Building was filled to overflowing th loval hearted people, congregated there to listen to the exercises which had been prepared with great care for the occasion. The exercises opened by the ''living Ftildiers" marching in in single file while the choir and congregation were singing the grand old song "Marching Through Georgia." Rev. Wilkinson then offered an appropriate and impressive prayer, fallowed by a song by the choir.

Then came speeches by Comrade J. II. Daily, Comrade J. P. banning, Comrade C.

II. Stone and Rev. Leon-arJson, in which they vividly portrayed their various subjects, paying beautiful tributes to the memory of the heroic men who took up arms in defense of our country, but were now silently sleeping beneath the sod of peace, and to the brave survivors who listened to their words of respect and praise of their dead comrades. After the speeches, Little Corrie Page rendered an appropriate recita- flettid a moment and replied: WALL PAPER. "No, sir, no.

In a journey of three thousand miles across the steppes of Russia a traveler saw only fourteen wolves eleven in one pack, two in another and one solitary animal prowling about on the ice of the Yenisei. Thousands of people have been bitten by wolves in Russia who have shown no sijns of hydrophobia.

The peasants of the interior districts have frequent battles with wolves every winter. Human beings, however, are seldom attacked by the brutes, though they make bold raids on cattle and sheep, and the Russian peasant is not particularly afraid of them. The Kirghese and Cossacks who dwell on the Orenburg plains take great delight in wolf hunting. They mount their fleet little horses and set forth armed with heavy clubs. When the snow is deep and does not have a firm crust a wolf is easily run down, as he sinks into le snow at every step and soon becomes exhausted.

He finally sits down on his haunches and quietly aits for the fatal blow of the club. A traveler lying under the furs of his sledge at night, while passing quickly over the frozen roads, frequently imagines that he hears the deep growling of wolves about him. If the weather is extremely cold he can hear what he imagines to be the short, quick jelping of a thousand hungry beasts in full pursuit. In time he will cease to be frightened at these bloodcurdling sounds, for they are made by the wooden runners of the sledge passing over the crisp snow. Chicago News.

Junction Jottings. Ed. Yivifier; The wheat begins to look like harvest would be here very early this year. Oats are begining to head and with a favorable season will yield an abundant crop. Potatoes are, for this time of year, exceedingly promising.

May Cherries are ripening and the race for the lion's share between the fanner and the birds is interesting, especially to the farmer. The farmers of tnis neighborhood have sold their crop of hogs, varying in price from $3.25 to $3.40 per cwt.
