Spring is llio prettiest season of the rear, (lowers put out their leaves and jegin to blossom. Tim snow is all (one and it is warm.

Ill manners are ruining to any one. * Liquor drinking, smoking cigars and chewing tobacco are bad habits. They ? impair the mind and pocket, and lead to a waste of time. They tend to let *' one down but never to lift one up in * the regard of the virtuous and tin good. It is ill mannered to slam doors, to talk too loudly and to lie saucy to your parents. Always give way to I those older than yourself unless they request you to take the. lead then, obey for it is a true sign of good breeding to comply with tin' wishes of those who are older than yourself. When i you are spoken to never stammer or ! I blush, but speak boldly and in bin- j gunge to be understood. Always be > I punctual and you will always be welcome. A well bred person will never peep over the shoulder of another who is reading. Don't slam the doors as if you were trying to take it of the hinges when you enter a house. Don't pass before anybody and the (ire without first being excused. UOM AK (r.VCI.T. THANK so IV1 NO . Thanksgiving is one of the legal holidays, it is always observed in all parts of our country. It is on the last Thursdry in November and has been celebrated since the pilgrims came over to our country in 10:10-? they came over in ;i vessel called the Mayflower. The colonists gathered together tr give thanks unto the Lord that they had been brought, safely. Thanksgiving is celebrated by hunting and having church service, collecting money for the heathens and orphans. This day is set apart for big dinners, also for thefamifyand friends to meet at the old home to have a good time?Something nice to eat such as cakes, turkey, pumpkin pies and many other nice things. Nearly all places of business arc closed on this day, teachers, clerks and other working people get a much needed rest for one day. Mamik Tweri). (fault's School.

For lack of pupils our school at this place was suspended lust sostie Iniys and girls who seem eager to learn and glad to he in the home school again (some attended school elsewhere and others were kept at home during the whole session.) I We have a spelling bee twice each month which the children enjoy very much and we consider improving to them in six-lling. An amusj ing thing occurred a few days ago when a small class in reading was | asked to give or name the page of ! their lesson, (all the small classes! . in reading are required to name the page, and number of each lesson: in ims way they learn the Roman table and also learn to read num| hers) after several guesses the face <?f one little girl brightened and she said she knew, it was elevcnty-one, j the three figures being three l's (ill). Reassured that class will know how to read one hundred and i eleven when next they see the number. Our school has hcen in session every day except two during the i j Klondike grasp. We have a com- 1 j fortahlo school-room, a good heater j and the patrons have hcen kind in | supplying us with an abundance of t good fuel. ' We have a letter of recent date J from a friend in Indianapolis, Ind., who said tla- thermometer measured s 10 degrees below zero last Monday c and til at one ef her ears was partly } frozen while on the street for a short time. s We are sorry to write of the death " of Mrs. Minnicc Rurgess nee Miss V Gallman, which sad event occurred s last Thursday afternoon. Her re- t mains were laid to rest in New v Hope cemetery the following day. ^ The immediate cause of Mrs. Gall- ' 0 man's death was paralysis.
