The boys are playing basket ball again. Emma Davis visited school on Thursday of last week- The last days of school are drawing near and all are working hard to get their diplomas, and the others to pass from one grade to the other. I hope all will be successful. Our class is still going by the name of D. D.

It seems to be very interesting to the people to find out what stands for. Call and find out. The eighthgrade is working in square root-in arithmetic, and think it is very easy. Some of our pupils like lead pencils awfully well. We see them chewing them quite often.

We had lots of fun Monday. One of the pupils told r. Brooks' fortune. If any one wants to know how it turned out ask him. The spelling class has a "non spellers corner." When a pupil misses a word their name goes to, the corner with one mark for each word.

Have, seven names now. How does that look for the class.

The idea is certainly a good one and would be much better acted out than talked over. What say 1.40 1.45 1.55 1.60 1.65 1.70 1.80 1.85 1.90 2.00 2 10 2.20 2.30 2.40 2.50 2.60 2.75 3.00 36 27... 38 39... 40... 41- 42....

He found himself in his office, which was thronged with petitioning patrons who eagerly clamored for all sorts of services, with their hands and pockets bulging with bank bills, while the dreamer with coat off and sleeves rolled up was per-sniriner workinsr and makimr Prairie Dale.
