frienda were present.
The pupils of the higher grade*
reviewed home work in arithmetic
and the primary pupil* showed how
they had learned to read write Mid
■pelt during the term. ' ’
Owing lo mo many slopping and
with such irregular attendance dur-
ing the Spring month* it was rather
difficult lo get up a satisfactory pro-
gram.
The following one wa* rendered
and the little ones acquitted them-
selves rather creditably under the
oiroumstaacea. r\
1. Recitation—When the True*
lee* Come, Jay Wright.

4. Dialogue—The Doll Show, Sir
Lillie Girls with their dolls, Lula
Porter, Lula Coffin, Loise Cable,
Forest Wright, Lavima llamey and
Ella Harris, each confident that her* the word*,
doll would lake the prise.
Mi*e Myrtle East was judge and

among the ladle* decided that they
would have to call another meeting.
6. Recitation—The Alamo, Mias

Man passed by with hia express
wagon, ot) hearing her trouble*, he
wa* abonl to persuade Ella to go
with him to see his uncle Ray. Say
iitg he would get a slick after Bridg
et and make her run But on getting
a glimpse of Bridget he decided she
was loo big for him, ■•> dropped the
longue of his wagon and ran off the
singe leaving Katie standing alone,
who said in a very decided manner,
that she didn’t mean to run a ;.tep
but would walk up lo Bridget and
say if she did not lei her be ahe

Ray.
13. Recitation* from (he tittle girls

with an old time spelling match
wlneii was participated in by old
and young. Our editor giving out
It’s an easy matter to get ratiafac*
tiou by going to law—if you are a
lawyer.
Some men hustle almost as hard
for a job as some wfciuen hustle for
