"Ignorance marks a straight ticket, and for such a display of ignorance there has been and is never any reward politically, civilly or other wise for the colored people of any community, be it in Oregon or in Massachusetts.

NO. 7. NOTICE. SEDALIA, - - - - - - - - - MISSOUR). EARLY CALIFORNIA JUSTICE. Case in Which the Expression "If This Court Knows Herself" Was First Used. A Pike county Missourian is credited with having first used the expression: "If this court knows herself, and she think she do." Long before the discovery of gold in California, relates the Kansas City Journal, a Pike county boy named Blackburn, so it is said, run away from home and went to the Rocky mountains, where he grew to manhood as Indian fighter, hunter, trapper and mountain guide. He became six feet four inches tall, proportionately thin, and marvelously awkward. He had many encounters with grazies and Indians. He was scarred from head to foot, one eye had been partly gouged out, his hair was thin and coarse, and stood straight up on top of his head and hung in every direction from the sides. Blackburn, as might be supposed, was not an educated man, but he was not lacking in been wit and sound sense. When gold was discovered Blackburn went to the mines and the miners, as a sort of a joke, elected him alcalde, an office similar to that of justice of the peace. The first case brought before the alcalde was that of a gambler who, while drunk and on horseback, had run over a young Mexican woman, knocking her down and seriously injuring her. The trial took place in the largest cabin in the neighborhood, which was packed with roughly dressed, much bewbishered men. The gambler, who was rich, hired a counsel to defend him. Alcalde Blackburn called the young woman, who told her story in broken English, but frankly and honestly. When she finished, the alcalde peremptorily ended the trial. The attorney for the defendant protested vehemently, but the alcalde ran his hand through his hair until it stood up straighter on top than ever and remarked: "If this court knows myself, and she think she do, I fine you $500 damages and assess upon you the costs of puttin' this yea gal in good condition." When asked what he meant by "good condition," he replied that the "gamblin' chap" must pay the doctor's bill and all other costs of the woman's illness. A more learned judge might have made a more formal ruling, but scarcely a juster one. TO MAKE THE HAIR GROW. Massaging Is One of the Most Essential Points in Treatment of the Scalp. The massage of the scalp is at the root of all treatment of the hair. By stimulating the flow of blood to the scalp new vigor is given to the hair. Without this massage hair restoratives are of little avail, says an authority. Now this massage may be better done by a masseur than by the man or woman who is growing bald, but it is possible for that individual to massage his own scalp well enough to do the hair a great deal of good. The hands should be half folded and the ends of the fingers made to touch the scalp lightly. Then rub them slowly over the scalp. accomi is convenient to begin at the back of the head and rub the scalp slowly up the center of the head to the forehead. Then the rubbing should be done all over the head from one side of the scalp to the other. It should be repeated several times. The same glow that the expensive fingers of the masseur produce follows, showing that the circulation in the scalp has been stimulated. The fingers should be pressed on the scalp with sufficient force to cause the blood to tingle. POINTS FOR HOUSEKEEPERS Items of Useful Information That May Come in Handy at Any Time. Housekeepers may be glad to know that instead of lard or bacon-rind a turnip cut in half and the griddle thoroughly rubbed with the raw side will answer the purpose of greasing; fry the cakes a nice rich brown, and there will be no sticking, and no odor or taste of the turnip. There is no smoke and mess as when lard is used, nor is the plece flavor of the buckwheat destroyed as by the use of grease, says Woman's Home Companion. Clean your iron cooking utensils with a piece of soft red brick. Brown paper molested in vinegar will polish your tins until they shine like silver. Rub a drop of olive oil on your knives and forks before putting away and they will retain their brightness and be free from rust. To clean flatirons rub them on green cedar. Pie Plant Meringue. Mix together one cupful of cold, stewed pie plant, one cupful of sugar, yolks of two eggs, one teaspoonful of flour, one-half teaspoonful of butter and one-half teaspoonful of lemon extract; turn this into an unbaked lower pie crust and place in the oven. For the meringue use the whites of the two eggs coated to a stiff froth, to which are added two tablespoonfuls of sugar and lemon flavoring; spread on top of the pie and return to the oven long enough to brown it. Serve cold with nut cheese balls.—Good Literature. THE WONDERS OF THE WORLD AT ST. LOUIS They Are to Be Found in the Great Palaces and Along "The Pike." St. Louis.—Early visitors to the Louisiana Purchase exposition have found at St. Louis an exposition so nearly complete that they have in no way missed the few minor details that were unfinished on the opening day, and which have since been completed. In fact in an exposition of such proportions as this it would be impossible to discover a thousand little details that might lack completion. Weather conditions were against the exposition management for a few days preceding the opening. Now everything is favorable, and the great fair is entirely complete, a completeness, we must repeat, that is so enormous that it is all but impossible to comprehend what it has meant to the builders. The last vestige of scaffolding that for a few days surrounded some of the less important buildings has been torn away; the last wagon load of refuse hauled from the grounds; every flower and shrub the landscape gardeners included in their scheme of decoration growing under the benign influence of a spring sun, and the exposition stands forth a completed giant, beautiful in conception, wonderful in execution, stupendous in size, by far the masterpiece of the world's expositions. Stupendous size does not half express it. This world's fair has many surprises for the visitor, but its immense size is the greatest autoniser of all. Amazement at the extent of the fair is heard from every visitor. It has been interesting to watch the visitors these first days of the fair. Interesting to see what would appeal to then strongest, but after one has studied the mass of humanity in their quest for the wonders it is hard to select any one feature that could be designated as a general favorite with all. Of course all visitors are enthusiastic over the general picture, the grand ensemble, which has I VENICE FESTIVAL HALL AND THE CASCADES. been created, and for the first hour or more of their stay inside the grounds but, few get further than the point from which they catch their first view of this grand picture. "It almost takes my breath away," exclaimed one woman near whom I was standing as she caught her first glimpse of the beauty of the cascades and the magnificence of the grand expedition palaces. Such is the general verdict. For beauty, for magnificence, for extent, St. Louis has beat the world. plant. Never before has there been even power developed as various prime movers Machinery. In a standing west of the ing, filled with the productions of skilled steam is generated horse-power to the Machinery but to this about 10,000 celed by electric ca There is another feature, or rather collection of features, which seemingly appeals to every visitor, and with good reason, and that is "The Pike." The fair management do not wish to appeal to the public with a side-show. They built an exposition which should stand forth to the world on its merits as an educator, as a monument to the world's progress, but realizing that an amusement feature was necessary they set to work to provide the biggest and best in this line that has ever been known. That they have succeeded in this is evident to every visitor who travels "The Pike." Nor is this great amusement lacking in educational interest. Here one may study the architectural fancies of the world; here he may study the nations of the world, their methods of life, their surroundings, their customs. He sees realistic pictures of the Esquimau in their snow and ice bound homes in one minute, and the next is transported to the jungles of tropical Africa "The Pike" is not an aggregation of fat women and the skeleton men, in no sense a circus slide-show, but a realistic picture of the world upon which five millions of dollars has been spent. Six thousand performers from foreign countries, and busy artisans from every remote corner of earth are engaged to reproduce the life of 25 different peoples. Fifteen hundred ar'mails are required to lend reality to the varied scenes. Two shows in the list of 40 represent an outlay of $1,400,000. Twenty of them cost not less than $100,000 apiece, and hardly an attraction less than $50,000. Some idea of what there is to be seen of Pike features may be had from a list of the educational amusement features which this section of the fair contains: Alaska and Esquimaux Village; Ancient Rome and Hawaiian Volcano; Battle Abbey; Bohemia; Crystal Palace; Cliff Dwellers; Chinese Village; Colorado Gold Mine; Creation; Coal Breaker; Cairo; Constantinople; Fire-Fighting Exhibition; Glass Weaving; Spinning; German Tyrolean Alps; Golden Charlot; Grant's Log Cabin; Galveston Flood; Haunted Castle; Hereafter; Hunting in the Ozarks; Infant Incubators; Indian Congress and Wild West; Irish Village; Japanese Village; Jerusalem; Jim Key (Educated Horse); Lincoln's Log Cabin; Moorish Palace; Model Playground; Miniature Railway; Magie Whirlpool; Morocco; Mysterious Asia; Naval Exhibition; Old Plantation; Old St. Louis, Mo. Old Cahokia Court House; Old Virginia Homestead; Observation Wheel; Palais Du Costume; Pottery; Weller; Paris and France; Scenic Railway; South African Boer Exhibits; Streets of Seville; Statisticum; Submarine Diving; New York to the North Pole; Trained and Wild Animals; Under and Over the Sea; Upper Mississippi Views; Water Chutes; Wireless Telegraphy. What runs in all; what supplies the power that makes the countless wheels go round? The majority of visitors are intensely interested in the mechanical motive force of this greatest of expositions, and well they may be. One of the most striking features is the power V plant. Never before at an exposition has there been even half as much power developed as supplied from the various prime movers in the Palace of Machinery. In a large boiler house standing west of the Machinery building, filled with the latest and best productions of skilled boiler manufactures, steam is generated to supply 30,000 horse-power to the various engines in the Machinery building. In addition to this about 10,000 horse-power is received by electric cable from power stations in the city of St. Louis. But the greatest interest is in the engines themselves rather than in the large capacity of the exhibit, for among them is a giant turbine or rotary engine developing 8,000 horse-power, besides others of a similar type of smaller capacity. This is the first display of turbine engines at a large exposition, as its development is a very recent achievement of mechanical engineering and invention. At the Chicago Exposition the largest gas engine developed only ten horse-power; the visitor to St. Louis may see a gas engine with the capacity of 300 times larger than the Chicago engine. The 3,000 horse-power gas engine is the largest engine of its character ever built. Many other gas engines of various types developing from 1,000 to 1,750 horse-power complete this feature of the exhibit, and there are many of the more familiar reciprocating engines of the latest pattern and highest efficiency. Of the total number of prime movers in the Palace of Machinery about one-half are comprised in what is known as the Exposition power plant, the other half being exhibitors' engines. Nearly all these engines are connected with electrical generators and the power is transmitted by cable throughout the grounds to the electric railways, the machinery in operation in the exposition buildings, the pumps supplying water to the cascades and fountains, the refrigerating plant and for other purposes. The total horse-power used at Chicago did not exceed 12,000 and at the Pan-American not over 8,000, in comparison with the 40,000 to 50,000 here. Electricity had only five and one-half acres at Chicago, while at St. Louis nine acres are given to the same department, besides a large display of electrical generators in the Palace of Machinery. No one should be deterred from visiting the world's fair because of the fear that living expenses in St. Louis are too high. If anyone has this notion it is high time that it be dispelled. There is absolutely no doubt of the fact that one can find excellent living accommodations in St. Louis now at rates not exceeding the charges this same month in New York, Chicago or any other great American city. No one need pay more than one dollar a day for a good room. That is an average rate, though many accommodations of excellent character may be had for less. There are many unrented rooms at five dollars a week, advertised every day, in the newspapers. Hundreds of restaurants serve meals or give short order service at the same rates that prevailed before the exposition opened. It is suggested that the stranger in St. Louis, who wishes to find reasonable boarding-house rates, make inquiry at a grocery store or meat market in the vicinity where he desires to stop. The grocers and butchers know nearly all the boarding houses in their neighborhoods, and they are quite willing to oblige the stranger by directing him to a place to suit his purse and his tastes. The "want" columns of the daily newspapers also contain columns of small advertisements for boarders or lodgers. WOMEN "BUCK THE TICER." How the Dealers in a Montana Gambling Resort Get the Working Girl's Wages. In Butte, Mont, there is a gambling house where the patronage of ladies is the special feature of the management, and where all kinds of women play the good old game of faro, perfectly at home and without fear of interruption. The entrance is from an alley near Broadway, and the house is luxuriously furnished. Carpets are laid on the floors, softened lights shine over the players, courteous attendants deal and shuffle the cards and pay bets or take winnings without the slightest suggestion of the incongruity of the situation, says the Denver Republican. Here many fashionably gowned women of Butte's elite come in parties or in pairs with escorts, to quietly venture silver or gold pieces coated from copper by their husbands, who busy themselves in Butte's continuous political war. Women of the business world keep track of the game, and both dealer and player usually maintain a rigid silence. Money is passed out for chips with the simple word, "five" or "ten," and conversation is economized to a minimum. And there are schemes to invigile the unsuspecting that only the initiated understand. Many woman of the middle classes are among the most regular patrons of the place. A waiter girl was recently observed playing her week's wages with phenomenal luck. With $15 she had won $60 and had cashed in her chips with charming coolness prepared to go home "winner." The dealer paid her without comment. He counted out the money—two twenty-dollar bills, one ten, one five, four dollars in silver, two half-dollars. She picked up the money, put the bills in her purse and laid a half-dollar on the ace. It lost. She laid down a dollar. It won. Another few moments and she had lost the silver. Reluctantly she drew out a five-dollar note and began to play again. In a few deals she was playing heavily again. In half an hour she was broke. It was a simple trick which has won the bank many millions of dollars after the player cashed in—the manner of payment. One is reluctant to break a bill, but silver is convenient to lay down on a card, and most gamblers will do it. Before they know it they are again drawn in to the game.

Large numbers of people in prosperous circumstances die as sexagenarians from malades which are evidences of degeneration and of premature senility, while many who pass this period go on to enter upon an eighth or ninth decade of life.

Big Man and Little Woman. She was a demure little woman with a baby. As the car was crowded she did not put the little one, who was old enough to sit up, on the seat beside her. She carried it on her lap, and made room for a fierce-looking, big man with a newspaper. The child kicked its tiny feet in delight at the strange things it saw while riding along, and its shoes rubbed against the big man's trousers.

"Fardon me, but would you mind removing the headgear?" Then request apparently made not the slightest impression on the owner of the handsome plume, and a few minutes later the second young woman asked, in a tone somewhat louder than that of her mother. "Would you please be so kind as to take off your hat?" The offender moved her head slightly, but otherwise gave no response. but otherwise gave no response. The victims of fenton were intelligent for a time, then one of them was seared to say very distinctly to her friend: "Oh, well, perhaps she is a little hard. That, of course, explains it.

Strong, director of the biological laboratory at Manila, P. I., has a paper in the fourth annual report of the Philippine commission showing how the Panama canal may become a factor in introducing yellow fever into our eastern possessions and the entire orient. He shows that the Hawaiian islands, Guam and the Philippines will be exposed to the importation of cases of yellow fever or of infected "stegomyla fasciata" (the mosquito that carries the fever), unless the disease can be banished from Panama. The disease often follows the lines of commercial maritime travel, and many instances are on record of its introduction by vessels into hitherto uninfected regions. It does not seem improbable, therefore, says Dr. Strong, that unless extreme precautions are taken against vessels passing from these regions and bound for ports in the far east, infected ships, and even cases of yellow fever will be conveyed from the above-mentioned cities to Honolulu, or even directly to Guam, Hongkong and the Philippine islands. Curios Sold to Bury Him. In order to secure funds to bury him, the personal property of the late Levi Collins, of Newcastle, Del., was sold at an auction the other day, and a sum was realized to pay for a decent funeral. Collins was a bachelor who for 40 years rose daily at dawn and made a tour of the town, picking up what he could find of value in the gutters. He was seldom known to walk on the sidewalk. In his house were found a number of boxes full of curios which he had picked up. Among them were bricks from the "Old Tile house," built by William Penn, and many articles of brie-a-brac from far away countries. Another Jap Victory.

'A man who was sent to Europe for his health and finally found cure in a little chance in his diet says: "I was troubled with dyspepsia for five years and two doctors here in Kenosha that treated me for over a year both told me there was no help for me. Then I had an expert from Chicago, but still received no relief; then followed another expert from Chicago who came to our house two times a month for four months. He gave me up like all the others and told me to take a trip across the ocean, which I did in the year 1899 and came home about as bad as when I started. The doctors told me my stomach lining was full of sores. Then I began to study my own case and learned of the diet recommended by the Postum Cereal Co., so I gave up coffee, pork and all greasy foods and began using Postum Food Coffee. Gradually I got better and better until I am well now as I ever was in my younger days, have no trouble and eat anything to eat. "Sometimes away from home I am persuaded to drink coffee, but I only take g:ip of it, for it tastes bitter and disagreeable to me, but the longer I use Postum the better I like it and the better I feel. I could say a great deal more of my experience with Postum, but think this will give everyone a good idea of what leaving off coffee and using Postum can do."

"Ellijah" Dowie, of Zion City, Ill., is the target of a suit recently filed to deprive him of $80,000, left under the will of Isaac Busick, a convert. The litigation is promoted in the interest of two sons of the dead man, now at Milan, Sullivan county. Two years ago Busick sold all of his property in Milan and moved to Zion City, having been a convert to Dowie for some years. He is said to have been wealthy, and it is claimed that his estate was valued at $80,000. He had not been at Zion long before he was taken sick, and, without any medical aid being given him, he died August 17, 1903. It developed that he had left a will and made his son by his last wife, Caleb A. Busick, his executor. The executor has recently filed an inventory of the estate and it shows a total value of about $25,000. Joplin's "Queen" Vindicated. Mrs. J. R. Weyland, wife of a prominent Joplin druggist, was fined $100 and costs in court on a charge of common assault. The case grew out of an assault by Mrs. Weyland upon Miss Maude McGee, the queen of the Joplin carnival. It was publicly announced that Mrs. Weyland was to be the matron of honor, and within 12 hours after this announcement Miss McGee was quoted in an interview in a Joplin paper as saying that she had not appointed Mrs. Weyland. Mrs. Weyland and Miss MsGee, who had been good friends until that time, met in the Pyramid room that night. May 27, and Mrs. Weyland assaulted her. Plague of Rats Near Chillicothe. A plague of rats is infesting the country south of Chillicothe and doing serious damage. For some time the farmers have complained that rats were eating their corn. The rodents have now turned their attention to young chickens and the havoc they are working is appalling to the poultry raisers. One woman living near Hale reports that she lost 75 young chickens, killed by rats in one night. Others have suffered to an almost equal degree. "That killings" have been inaugurated by the farmers of Livingston county. One day recently a killing "bee" on the farm of John Hoyt resulted in the slaying of 85. More Pay for Kansas City Teachers.

The supreme court decided that Judge Hugh Dabbs, of the circuit court of Jasper county, is entitled to hold his office until the first day of January, 1908. Judge Dabbs was appointed to the office on March 28, 1901, to hold until the first Monday in January, 1903, under an act of the legislature creating the office of circuit judge for that county. At the election in November, 1902, F. M. Redburn, republican, was elected to the office but he died the next day. The attorney general, Mr. Crow, instituted suit in the supreme court to custod Dabbs on the ground that a vacancy existed in the office by the death of Judge Redburn. It was a friendly proceeding to test the right of Judge Dabbs to hold the office over the election in November. Six "Hoboes" Held Up. A bold daylight highway robbery was committed at Sedalla by Edward Hampton, of St. Louis, and J. Kelly, of Texas, who were arrested and lodged in jail.

Six men, who were beating their way, got off the train, and Kelly and Hampton lined these up at the point of two guns and went through them, obtaining about $40. When ordered to throw up their hands, the six men thought they were being arrested for stealing rides and were relieved of all they had before they realized what had happened. Missing Since 1858. E.

Catarrh of the Kidneys a Common Disease—Kidney Trouble Often Fails to Be Regarded as Catarrh by Physicians. Catarr of the kidneys is very common indeed. It is a pity this fact is not better known to the physicians as well as the people. People have kidney disease. They take some diuretic, hoping to get better. They never once think of catarrh. Kidney disease and catarrh are seldom associated in the minds of the people, and, alas, it is not very often associated in the minds of the physicians. Too few physicians recognize catarrh of the kidneys. They doctor for something else. They try this remedy and that The Most Elusive.

It cures colds quickly, and a few doses taken after undue exposure prevents illness. "Some of the patrolmen under me have also found great relief from Peruna. It has cured chronic cases of kidney and bladder troubles, restored men suffering from indigestion and rheumatism, and I am fully persuaded that it is an honest, reliable medicine, hence I fully endorse and recommend it." JAMES L. DEMPSEY. Officer A. C.

The CONSERVATOR will in all local political contests support for PUBLIC POSITIONS, only good and reliable men irrespective of their political or business affiliations. We take this position, because we feel that we can best subserve the PUBLIC INTERESTS by maintaining this PATRIOTIC STAND. The organization of negro state leagues have begun. How many will the summer afford? --- WHEN you want brains, without sense, call up J. W. Wheeler of the St. Louis Palladium. We regret that owing to an over sight on the editor's part the Lincoln School Commencement report was omitted last week. Remember, if you do not want the Conservator any longer, pay what you owe, then order it stopped. If you order it stopped before you pay, it will appear, as though you were trying to fleece some body. Our thanks are due president E.B. T. hompson, of Kansas City, for program of the annual meeting of the St. Joseph District Eworth League and Sunday school convention, at Mexico, Mo., June the 29th.-July 2nd. This organization of young people promises to render valuable help toward the up-lift of the race. We wish them, "God-speed". PETRUS county ought to be able to have her affairs properly looked after next year. During the coming convention, the republicans should see to it that only good men are put up to ask the suffrage of good men. Let the best men judge, not so much from partisan worth, as from patriotic loyalty and manhood integrity. Bad men have too often slipped into good positions under a partisan garb. Let a man be a true man first and then a true partisan afterwards. WOULD it not be a pretty nice and profitable thing for all of us to stop trying to hinder something some one else is doing and get to doing something ourselves. There is plenty in every community fo. every one to do, with out, in the least trespassing upon the rights of others. Too often do the intelligent belittle the efforts of the untrained, when they should commend them for their cagerness to do. Encouragement of the unlettered should never be wanting but, as many have said, to encourage does not cost much, indeed nothing to compare with the good that accrues there-from. Find something to do. When you find it, do it. Never mind about the other fellow do your part and all will be well. ```markdown ``` The St. Louis Palladium in copying an excerpt from the Chicago Broad Ax takes occasion to state that the "Young W. H. Huston has been silent since we turned the Palladium on him". Well, if J. W. Wheeler has not a complete monopoly of all the "Gall" in the state, pray tell us who has? We know the Great J. W. is "sore", because everything and everybody does not hail him as the "Great Chief of Negro Journalists". But, owing to the youthful intuitiveness of the western negro editors, they fail to see, after the most careful study anything that the great Wheeler or the Palladium has done for the race, except to make a "world of noise", whenever some one pats them on the back. We have let this senseless "would be" prate and malign us sufficiently. Hence here after, whenever, the great wheeler girds himself for journalistic warfare, we are pleased to inform him that he may find a David, the youthful Conservator, for his inflated Goliath, the St. Louis Palladium. We informed him, in a very personal letter th' he had a legitimate right, if he so desired, to defend his kind, rounders, sharpers and hot heads He never rouses himself from his lair to maintain a strong conservative stand for the progressive element of St. Louis negroes. We ask, brother wheeler, what policy is the Palladium pursuing? Where do you stand on Civic Development? Give us something original. LINCOLN SCHOOL COMMENCEMENT. On Wednesday evening, June the First, the Lincoln School Auditorium was filled to its utmost capacity, with citizens to witness the closing exercises of the Class of '04. The room was very tastily decorated with the Class Colors and flowers. Behind and over-hanging the stage, was this significant motto: "No Ascension Without Opposition". The music for the occasion was furnished by the Lincoln Choral Union, under the supervision of Mrs. Mattie L. Teeters For harmony and expression, it could not be surpassed. The orations and poem were of the highest order in depth of thought, beauty of diction and scope of common sense. Intelligence sufficient was shown by each graduate for him or her to build a most noble and commanding character. Sensibleness and broadness of thought seem to be among the chief objects that the teachers of Lincoln School would have their pupils attain. For this they all should be commended most unstintingly. The graduates this year are the Misses Eugenia W. Chambers, Maymie R. Thomas, Ruby W. Martin, Estelle M. Bell and the Misters Harry R. Hopkins and Calvin H. Warrick. All are Sedalians except Mr. Warrick, who is a very ambitious and talented youth from near Bunceton. He possesses much latent poetical talent that, if properly cultivated, will reflect credit upon his High School Alma Mater and secure honor and renown to himself. Acting Supt. J. P. Gass, in his presentation speech, urged upon each member of the Class, the importance of their fully appreciating the responsibilities of american citizenship and that owing to their superior qualifications, a great deal more is expected of them in good and honorable deeds Principal Shelton French stated that the year's success was largely due to the interest manifested by Mr. Gass. And that he and his corps of teachers were sincerely grateful to him and the new music teacher, Prof. Earley, for the excellent services rendered, by them, at Lincoln School. On Friday after-noon, June 3rd the Conservator man was pleased to witness the closing services thru-out the Primary and Grammar grades. We first viewed and listened to the pupils of rooms 3 and 4 under the management of the Misses Leanora Dillon and Minniolia Jackson. The little ladies and gentlemen acquitted themselves most creditable manner. The Misses Dillon Jackson have done practical work worthy of the community's highest consideration. The next room visited was that of the little dear ones presided over by Miss Mildred Walker. Here, we were both interested and surprised to find so much training implanted into such youthful minds. Let the patrons of Lincoln School be not guilty of with-holding from Miss Walker the credit rightly due her. When we ushered ourselves into the auditorium, we were greeted by the exercises being conducted by the pupils of No. 5 and 6 with the Misses Floa E. Wright and Estelle Martin as instructors. Aside from exceptional rendition of recitations and declamations we were charmed by their singing. This being Miss Martins first year at Lincoln yet she has given satisfaction and is loved very dearly by pupils and patrons. It should be borne in mind that the Misses Martin and Wright have the rooms, whose pupils are in the transitional period of their lives and they, who succeed in directing them aright, deserves our unswerving devotion. There is but one regret to be noted, and that is the fact of there being an excess of girls over the boys in this school. Statistics for this year and last show an excess of 15 per cent. in favor of the girls Is it not time to begin to think of saving the boys? Steps must be taken to save our boys by keeping them in the school-room.
