Prof. George W. Brown, head of
the department of rural education,
gave an address in the church at Oak
dale, last Sunday.
At the chapel period Friday we
v.-ere delightfully entertained by the
Noimal orchestra under the direction
of Prof. Kies. It is a pleasure to note
the finished and artistic quality of
the work done by the musical organi
zation of the school.
The Misses Dunn, Hanthorne, Tut
hill and Palmer spent the week-end
in the home of Miss Dunn at Syra
cuse. The new engine installed by the
students in the manual training de
partment was used for the first time
Wednesday. This engine and its dy
namio will furnish a day current for
the domestic sciences, manual train
ing and science departments.
The mid-summer commencement
will be held July 27 at 11 a. m. lion.
John L. Kennedy will give the address
and there will be musical numbers by
Prof. Kies and Miss Meyer. At this
time sevdh degrees of bachelor of ed
ucation, fifty-one diplomas and thirty-two
elementary state certificates
will be issued. While this is only a
small part of the total number issued
during the year, it is a larger num
ber than many of the normal schools
of the United State have in their total
for a year.
Picnics seem to be quite the thing
just at this season and as the mem
bers of the Cass County club are
jiot slow. They decided to entertain
themselves in this fashion. According
ly on Tuesday July 11, a merry bunch
of students and faculty members
gathered at the south end of the
athletic field and had one of the times
of their lives. Several pictures were
taken of the bunch and all are hoping
to send some home as proof that
Peru is not "All work and no play."
A vote of thanks was extended to the
committee in charge and at dusk the
jolly party was ended.

I am going to tell you tonight, said
Uncle Hen to Polly Aim and little Ned
a story about
THE WISE DONKEY.
There was once a farmer who had a
donkey, and, like most people who own
donkeys, his master did not have a
great deal of respect for his wisdom
One day the donkey showed him that
he knew a great deal more than he
was given credit for. At any rate, after
this occasion the farmer thought him
far wiser than a whole forest full of
owls, who have ever been regarded as
the wisest of feathered folk. But to
begin at the beginning:
The hero of this tale the donkey
was very hungry. His master, think
ing him only a donkey, thought he did
not know the difference between eating
prickly thistles und something better.

ana ins stomach relt like the "old
scratch" because of them. lie gave a
loud bray and before he got to the end
of it not farther than b-b-r, in fact
he saw the gate into the orchard was
open. The donkey had always longed
to go into this forbidden place, but the
crate had been kept securely locked.
His master could not lock the smell
of the apples and pears from reaching
the donkey's nose, though, and this
braska, came in on No. 11 last Satur- smell made the donkey long more and
ay to visit her sister, Mrs. C. C. more after the good things which grew
iucknell.

Dr. L. Muir was called to Milford,
Monday afternoon, to see his mother
who was not so well. His brother
'ind family brought him back Monday
night via the auto route, leaving the
mother feeling better. '
Mr. and Mrs. George Foreman, sr.
and son Clark and daughter Aurel
autoed to Antelope Park Lincoln last
Sunday and enjoyed a picnic dinner
there with their daughter, Mr. and
Mrs. L. E. Bobbitt and daughter, and
their son liem Foreman and famil.
and nephew Harry Prouty and wife.
At three o'clock Friday afternoon
the I. F. S club meet at the home of
Clara Dickerson. A short program
was rendered and the remainded of the
afternoon was spent in games and
fancy, work. There were eighteen
there.
The donkey could scarcely believe his
eyes or nose either, but the second
glance showed him that his eyes had
not deceived him. The gate was open;
consequently the donkey was invited
into the orchard. Once inside, he lost
no time in sampling the fruit of a fine
apple tree. You know how fond your
pet pony is of a nice juicy apple. Well,
you can imagine how a donkey who
had been raised on thistles would re
gard a tree full of them. lie ate and
ate until no pig would have recognized
him. Branch after branch came off the
tree in Mr. Donkey's attempt to get the
delicious apples. All went well until
his master returned. When he saw
what the donkey had done, poor don
key got the worst whipping that he had
ever received in his lire. Hie master
almost cried, for his tree was ruined,
and the apples were the finest ones he
owned.
The year following, what was his
surprise to see that the tree he had
looked upon as ruined bore double as
inauj- apples as any other tree in the
orchard. Besides this, the apples were
liner and larger than any he had ever
grown, lie was ashamed of the way
he had treated the donkey for his part
in the scheme, lie gathered a large
basket of the apples and himself car
ried it to the poor donkey. Ever after J
this the farmer pruned all the trees In
the orchard, and from so stupid an an
imal as a donkey the valuable process
of pruning trees was discovered.
