These exorcises were verj good and we were sadly disappointed to see so few parents out to encourage the pupils. John Bullis in behalf of the high school literary societies , ordered twenty dollars worth of books from Chicago last week. We expect to have our new boo < case ready for these books when they arrive. There still remains about five dollars in the hands of the treasur er of the societies.

A.'iieattie writes us that the enrollment for this 3 ear has reached nearly seven hundred , including the normal school proper and the practice department. The school year has been lengthened two months and special classes will be organized to run from June 9th to August 3rd thus giving teachers who have taught during the > ear an opportunity to put in two months where they can get the very best instruction in methods and at the same time be doing work which will lead directly to a professional life ctr- tificate. The enrollment next summer ought to be very large. Young teach ers who are intending to go to sshool somewhere next summer snould write early to Dr. J. A. Beattie for particu lars of the summer school. Woodlake Jim Wilson , wfth the Hanson Cattle Co. , was in town all day Sundaj. Mr. and Mrs. Barnard started Monday morn ing for Fremont.

Santa Glaus was a very conspicuous character in the homes of the fami lies in Valentine Christmas eve , and many a child was impressed with the goodness of this mysterious old man who thus bestowed blessings upon them. He also made his appearance in the churches where the ex ercises were just simply rand. But it is to be regretted that so many children should be overlooked in a place where we teach the love of Santa towards the little ones. Where there are so many it makes it very difficult to remember all , but our liberal spirited citizens expect this to be done hereafter , and will contribute to this end. One little fellow , who observed others receiving candy , re marked that he guessed Santa Glaus didn't know him , and tears came to that mother's eyes , although plenty of presents awaited that little girl upon its arrival home. Let us see hereafter that every child is remem bered at public places for the good it does in the world. An exchange gives an account of hugging societies which are being or ganized in that vicinity. The moetinij of the first one organized netted the church 08. It says : "Old farmers for miles around joined and \\ere active members. The schedule of rate i : Girls under sixteen , lo cents for a hug of two minutes , or 10 cents for a short squeeze ; from sixteen to twenty years , 50 cents ; twentv to twenty-five years. 75 cents ; school-ma'ams , 50 cents ; another man's wife , $1 : widows , ac cording to looks , from 13 to SI0 ; old maids , 3 cents * two for a nickel and no time limit.

Newland and Francis L Kaplau , both of Sparks , were marriei by Rev. O. S. Baker last Thursda : evening. Mrs. Geo.

Poynter appoint hin as one of the deputy oil inspectors , There are only 91 applicants from this district for the position. John Shore and J. A. Hooton both were the lucky persons to draw fine lamps at Davenport & Thacher's Sat urday night , and happily surprised their esteemed wives by short presen tation speeches on Christmas. Bert Hammond returned Tuesday night from Kansas City , where he went about a month ago to spend the winter. He is much reduced in flesh , and says Valentine will be good enough for him in the future. The latest developments inthe Ches terfield mail route is thatJ. A. Hooton attached thirteen head of A. T. White's horses for board , feed and money advanced to drivers amounting in all to over $40.00. The mail went out yesterday horseback. Ed L. Ross , one of the most enter prising cattlemen in the county , was in town Tuesday. We understand he has taken a section of land and an nexed it to his ranch in Cherry and Sheridan counties. "We are glad to hear of his continued success in the cattle business.Rushville Recorder. Those who saw the editor's father a couple of months ago could hardly believe he was old enough to be the editor's sire. If they would only come in and see the photograph of the editor's mother , just received , the skeptics would probably believe that ' ' " and had that worthy 'just growed" no parents. Squire Kilgore has opened his new general store on the south side. Fred Braj"ton was a city visitor Friday. Mrs" Mumaugh and daughter , of Omaha , are spending the holidays with relatives in Woodlake. U. G. and Mrs. Stevenson spent Christmas with friends in Ainsworth. Woodlake Oracle. The other day we picked up a medi cal journal , and read the following item which maj' be of interest to our feminine readers : Onions are almost the best nervine known. They are most useful in cases of nervous pros tration , and will greatly assist in toning up the system. Eaten every other day , they soon have a whiten ing and clearing effect on the com plexion. A noted cook sa-s that the secret of good cranberry sauce is the use of very little water and quick cooking. Eight or ten minutes is long enough , as otherwise the bitter taste of the seeds is developed. A small cup of water to a qu rt of cranberries is sufficient. The sugar is added just as the sauce is taken from the stove. This recipe is given to the ladie s of Valentine for what it is worth. Dorothy has a baby brother who has recently been ill with the coming thought of his first teeth. The bald ness of the baby's head has caused Dorothy great anxiet } ' . She stood at her mother's knee one day gently patting the little head. ' 'Be careful Dorothy , ' ' said the mother. "You know poor littie brother is sick. He is cutting teeth. ' ' Dorothy patted the bald head reflectively. ' 'Mamma , ' ' she said , -'will it make him sick when he cuts his hair ? I'm afraid he'll have a tough time. ' ' The editor received a very neat purse for Christmas , with the com pliments of the Woodlake Bank. We always knew that C. A. Johnson , the cashier , was a great "joker , " but this joke takes the premium. Whr.t in the world will we , a newspaper man , do with a money purse ? At any rate , though , the gift is an appropri ate and timely one , and when filled with old type and brass rules will give the editor's pocket a prosperous look. Thanks : may the amount of the de posits in the Woodlake Bank never grow less. Dr. and Mrs. Plumer were in the city Saturdar. John Yaryaii is riding having f tilh- recovered from the measles. J. J.
