sides will now have time to consider the
amount of lives and property lost. The
Boers have been conceded every-thing

There is no doubt, had i,ot the United

The Sunday School convention that was
held nt cotton wood last week was a deci
ded success. The suhj"ct. were present
ed in a clear and emphatic way, and Ihe
discussions were lively and enthusiastic,
There was a good attendance from the
firat day and continued throughout the
meeting. A number of people of Craw
ford attended and took a great interest
in the discussions. The convention closed
with a consecration meeting led by Rev.
Jamison. We have been expecting the
secretary's Report, of the couvention but
it has not showed up yet.
The term of court that was to have
been held bv iudrre Harrington 00 the
28th of May, was opened bv the sheri
Alex Lowry, every day for four day
there being present only the sheriff and
clerk Win. J. A. Rauin. The judge
failed to come and also failed to notify
the clerk, that he could not be her, so
to fulfil tha law as required by statute
the court had to be openad each day as
above stated. So Sioux county has bad
district court for four days without a
judge. i
Mr. and Mrs V. C. Bridges departed

How He Lost k Pension.
"I've just applied for a government
pension,' be said, "but I don't think
I'll get it.'
'Why not?"
"Well, you see. I caught a bad cold
in the civil war."
"Of course."
"An it s been a-working on nie ever
since."
"Naturally."
"An' t.otherday it broke out in
gallopin' consumption."
"Why, you uon t look like a
"I know it; an' that's jest where the
trouble comes in. The very minute
the consumption hit me, an' I put in my
application to the government, the old
lady fell to pray in' fer me, an' 'bout a
quarter to 10 o'clock last night or
mebbe it wuz 20 minutes to 10 her
prayers wuz answered, an' I commenced
to feel better, until now I'm 'feared I'm
plum well. Tak m meat mv looks no

Shockingly Misunderstood.
A Worthy man, who was very sensi
tiv and retiring, having lost his wife
privately requested that he might be
remembered in th minister's morning
prayer from the pulpit, but asked that
his nam might not be mentioned.
Oo Sunday morning the good min
inter prayed most eloquently for ou
aged brother, upon whom the heav
hand of sore affliction has so lately
fallen."
At this point an elderly man, whom
the minister had married to a very-
young wife during the week, rose with
a bounce and stamped down tha aisle
muttering loud enough to be heard all
over tha chapel;
"It may be an affliction, but I'm
blessed if I want to be prayed for in that
fashion," London Spare Moments.

THE LITTLE SCHOOLMA'AM.
Speak of our queens aud empresse-
Or other ladies royal,
Not one of them has half the power
Or subjects half so loyal
As she, ihe liule schoolma'am.
Who trips along the way
To take the chair she makes a thron
At nine o'clock each day.
Her rule is ever gentle,
Her tones ure low and sweet;
She is very trim and tidy
From her head unto her feet.
And it matters very little
If her eyes be browa or blue;
They simply read your inmost
Whene'er she looks at you.
The children bring her presents,
Red apples, flowers galore,
For all the merry girls and boys
Thi. queen of theirs adore
The darling little schoolma'am,
Who reigns without a peer
In a hundred thousand class-rooms
This gayly flying year. Margaret
