The Mothers' Meeting was held
Wednesday afternoon in the hitch
school building where a very profitable
meeting was held. We did not get
the program, but know that from for
mer meetings this one would be up to
the standard. The meetings are of great
practical benefit to both teacher and
parent. They bring them together
where they can talk over sensibly and
rationally those vexed questions Hint
come up to bother the teacher. It
makes thein more acquainted and the
teacher becomes better acquainted
with the pupil because they become
more acquainted with their home life.
The patron understands more of the
life of the teacher, their peculiar and
ever differing ideas, their aims, their
purposes, their ideals and can help the
pupil to conform to that which is the
most progressive by conforming to it
themselves. These meetings have be
come popular all over the country and
the leading educators every where are
advocating them, knowing they are
not a short lived fad, but a living,
breathing, pulsing reality that help
each one to grow stronger.

One of the largest and most success
ful sales ever held in the county was
that of J. G. Davis last Thursday. Mr.
Davis has long been known among the
breeders of the state as a man who is a
good judge of stock and only kept in
his herd the best animals to be found
Many stockmen from various parts of
the state were present, anxious and
eager to purchase where they were
sure of getting just what was adver
tised. The sale went even beyond the
exepctancy of Mr. Davis himself, and
although some of the calves were but
eight eight months old, the average
for thirty head was $105.30, the highest
one sold being a cow for $235. Mr. Da
vis has thoroughly studied the Short
Horn stock and is thoroughly familiar
with the pedigrees of the best ones,
having twenty volumes of the Short
Horn Register, which were sold to .1.
H. Maharg, one of the rising breeders
in the state. The following is a list of
those in the county who purchased:
.las. Hunt 2, Dick Thomas 2, J. (.'.

SHE WAS PLAIN WITH HIM.
Aunt Sully Cave tlie Minister Some
thing to Think About*
Two women in the early part of the
last century lived in Virginia. They
were noLeii for their common sense,
and many of their sprightly sayings
are iiuoted and enjoyed to this day.
Tliev were both .Methodists, and their
house was a place of resort for the
clergy of that denomination. Of one
of the women, known as Aunt Sally,
the following story is told:
She had a black sillc dress which she
was accustomed to slip on when she
attended church. It seems that once,
while conference was being held near
her house, a Methodist minister who
had enjoyed her hospitality and was
saying good by ventured to remon
strate ag.iin.it her use of costly ap
parel.
"Well. Aunt Sally." said he, "you
have been very kind to tne and my
wife during our stay at your house,
and we appreciate your kindness. We
shall never forgot it. But, my dear
sister, before parting with you I must
say that it has troubled my wife and
myself very much to see you a dev
otee to the fashion of the world. 1
notice with pain that you wear your
silk dress every day to church, con
trary to the rules of our order, and I
hope that hereafter you will refrain
from such a display of worldly mlnd
edness. I also hope you will pardon
me for calling your attention to it."
"My dear brother." said Aunt Sally,
"1 did not know that my plain black
silk was troubling anybody. It hangs
up there behind the door, and as it
needs no washing it is always ready to
slip on when company conies or when
1 go to church, and find it very
handy.
"But, my dear brother, since you
have been plain with me 1 must be
plain with you. Since you and your
wife have been staying here I and uiy
cook have some days had to stay at
home and be absent from church be
cause we were doing up the white
dresses of your wife that she might
look well at the conference. Pardon
me for explaining, aud when you and
your wife come this way call again."—

CONVENT LANTERNS.
Ia Old Pad With Modern Improve*
mentu—An Electrical Display,
In the old days a favorite fad for
travelers in ancient lauds was the col
lection of lanterns. Those from ruined
convents, decayed mosques and pover
ty stricken shrines were prime favor
ites. The fad is not entirely dead, but
the supply has run so short that now
enterprising firms in Birmingham,
England, and in New York turn out
large numbers of excellent imitations.
The new ones are machine made and
so far as strength and durability are
concerned are superior to the ancient
designs, which were hand made, but
the latter in many instances were or
namented with inlaid work as well as
with carving and twisting of the most
artistic type. The machine made goods
can never reproduce these latter char
acteristics so well as to deceive an ex
pert.
The material of the lanterns varies
from fine woods and glass to iron,
steel, brass, bronze, copper, pewter and
even silver. The simplest forms are
cylinders which are perforated with
numeous holes so as to resemble the
clumsy sieve. Then come globes, cubes,
octahedra, hexagonal prisms, ovoids
and more complex solid forms. The
prettiest of all are the mosque lan
terns. Many of them are of bronze in
laid with silver, pierced with little win
dows and these closed in turn with
white or colored glass. With a lighted
candle inside they look like a mass of
jewels in a dark room.
A wealthy man on Brooklyn heights
who has traveled a great deal has one
of his rooms Illuminated by lanterns of
this type. They range in size from
small all'airs four inches in diameter to
stately lamps a foot in diameter and
two feet high. In place of candles in
side he employs electric lights, one
bulb to the smaller lanterns and three,
four and a dozen to the larger ones.
When the current is turned on. the
splendor of the effect is almost star
tling. The colors of the glass have
been deepened and made richer by the
years, and the radiance they give may
be compared to that from a great oriel
iu a Gothic cathedral.—Ne\v York Post.
COME. DY IN THE AMBULANCE
A Doctor's Story of a Mnn and a Wo
man, Kaeli With a Broken Los.
"When 1 was an ambulance sur
geon." said the young family physi
cian. "1 used to start like a lire horse
at the sound of the call. I was just as
much interested in the work at the end
of two years as I was the day I began.
It was the excitement of the life that
made me so fond of it. I had all sorts
of experiences at all sorts of hours.
There was an element of danger in it,
too. but that only added to the charm.
"One night I had a call from the west
side in the neighborhood of Chelsea
square. It was for a drunken man who
fell down and broke his leg. On the
way back to the hospital with him I
picked up a drunken woman to whom a
similar accident had happened. There
was nothing to do but put her in the
ambulance along with the man.
"After that the ride across town was
exciting enough for a cowboy. At lirst
the patients sympathized with each
other. Then they began to cry in cho
rus. At Broadway they fell to kissing
each other. At Third avenue they were
lighting like a pair of Kilkenny cats,
and 1 had my hands full in keeping
them apart. The woman had scratch
ed the man's face dreadfully, and he
had nearly closed her eye with a punch.
When we struck the asphalt in Twen
ty-sixth street, they were singing 'We
Have All Been There Before Many a
Time,' aud such singing! The uproar
attracted a crowd who evidently
thought I had an ambulance full of lu
natics. When we reached the gate,
they swore eternal friendship, and at
the otlice they parted in tears."—New

EXIT OF HANDSOME ELK.
Indian Recently Killed by Police Wa* Ter
ror of Sioux Nation.
Sioux Falls, S. D., Jan. U.S.—The bill
ing on the Lower Brule Indian reser
vation a few days ago of Handsome
Elk by a party of Indian policemen
closes the career of an Indian desper
ado who stood second only to the ru
inous "Apache Kid." The history oL'
the Sioux nation does not contain tUe
name of a more noted desperado than
Handsome 10lk, or one who for so long
a period had detied the federal and
state authorities aud kept the frontier
in a turmoil of excitement.
For nearly two decades Handsome
Elk held undisputed sway and during
that period caused the Uuited States
authorities and United States Indian
agents endless trouble aud annoyance.
He was the best shot with Winches
ter or six-shooter of his tribe aud,
being absolutely without fear, was a
foeman worthy of any man's steel. He
lived on Medicine creek, about 15 utiles
from Lower Brule agency, near the
border of the reservation. His home
was virtually a fortress so far as de
fensive purposes were concerned.
