Her llrst puniahmout wnu rccoived in the llret loom. She was very fond of cranberries, and one day, to her grtat dolight, found boiuo within reach of her pr) ing little llngora. In gtont haste alio BtulTed them into lier llret pocket, of whicli bIio wub bo proud. When it wao tilled to the brim alio hurried olT to Bchool. In hor engernefiiiuhe had BtulTed bur pocket bo full that a tiny holo was tho result. Ah she strutted into tho no aeinbly room, ono by ono tho cranbor rioa fell out, making a path behind hor down tho aisle, Tho children gnvo vent to their feelings, nnd poor Jeannotte was compelled to stand in front of tho school nnd devour every cranberry.

On tho 27th of November, 1878, a little fairy came to Kail Cloud and found her way to the homo of Mr. and Mrs, Lud low. This liltlo elf i now our beloved classmate, Pearl. Sho bears tho dis fiction of being tho only ono in tho clusi who io u native of Ited CUud. At tho ago of llvo sho entered school, and has attended as regularly an her health would permit. Whon eleven vearn old, she went with her parents lo California, where bhn expected to makn her fiiluie home. Whila there, a (Jhinmnun fell i; lovo with the little girl and became ver) anxiotu to make her IiIb bride. In fact, no much in earneat was he, that he of fered her father ono hundred and lifty dollars for tho covotod pri.-i. This, of course, wan promptly denied him, and the poor Chinaman left, broken hearted. After pending u )ear in Oregon, thoy, like all eeusiblu people, rnlun.ed to ited Cloud.

On a calm nml balmy evening in early autumn, of 1S73, nnoof the ovjimigH of which Nebraska is no proud, tlmut ctune to the homo or Mr. and .Mm. l-Jmuen, in Sterling, a eecond little daughter whom they, after much cousideiatiou as to the proper name for the little lad, decided to call .Mary. She has uhvava been of a vonturesoiiirt nature, huvieg eoveral timed narrowly escaped death, ami, even then, persisted in her ihiiiug deeds. When ipnte iiinall, Maty was of a very inquiring mind; in fact, t-he has not vet outgrown it. At a very euily age, she learned to make mud pies, and ni.inj and varied were tho lapeiimonla khu tiled iu order to b.tku them without cruckinj;. Moreover, sho wub alwuvs a auie-footed climber, and many a climb ing feat haa sho performed, much to the cbcigriu of her phi) males, who could uot come up after her. Hut now, in stead of climbing IiuMoih, idle is build. them, nud has been in her huliuol life as she was iu her climbing, euro of a good foot-hold ore she udvauced into the uu known difllcuttioa that nurrotinded her. Our valedioiorian, Mamie K. Welde muu, was born in Atlantic, Iowa, but, moved to Knnaaa, and from there to Ne braska when but a small child. Most of her educatinu has been obtained in our schools. By the position eho holds thia evening, you may boo that eho haa al ways been a very studious jjirl, For the past yoar, all pleasure, and evon exer cise, ImB been laid aaldo for her school duties. As fuir as hor fnco, we find tho record of hor school da equally as clear aud transparent.

On tho t)th day of tho blustry month of March, 1877, u weo chorub arrived in Lincoln, Neb., tho chief possession of Mr. and Mrs. O. O. Boll. Not many dajs hud paeeed by whon tho name, Jonnio Oortrude, was bestowed upon tho first baby of that happy household. At the ago of oightoon months, tho llrst groat evont in Jennie's life took place. Her proud and happy mamma took her to tho baby show that wao held during the fair, and, much to her delight, hor darling baby carried olf tho llrst prize. At tho ago of two yoara Jennie narrowly escaped death from a Bovoro burn, but, by tender nursing, alio wasBnvod to help iiwell the number of tho Class of 'IK!, When still email, sho went into tho country to upend a few dajs, and, nB all city-bred young ladies aro wont to do, wnndoreiUabout to boo how thitigBiiro conducted on a farm. Suddenly bIio rnn, greatly frightened, to hor mothor Whon asked tho ciiubo of her fright, bIio Bidd, in a trembling voice: "Tho cow looked croBB eyed at me!" At another time alio saved a liltlo boy 'a life, and has over sinco boon quite fond of that box. At tho ago of fourtoon, she came to lire in our midst and outored our schools, Sho has complotod tho four years' course in the high Bchool, nnd la now propared to outer life'fl duties an I will leavothut to our prophet. Wo havo with ub, thia evening, the proud piironts of two Bovonths of our cae, and wo rejoico with them. Their first child and oldest daughter, Lucy, bears tho distinction of being our saint atorian. Sho waa born in Sterling, Neb., Novomber f, 187(5, but, at an early nge, had tho good sense to move to Rod Cloud. Horo sho lino acquired hor on tiro education. Tho record of horBchool lifo might be summed up in tho two words, " woll dono." Sho Into over os caped tho toachors' reproving words, and tins always boen vory studious, Bpondiug her timo to her own profit. When quite email, it was her delight to commit voraesof pootry and repent them to hor Boniorp, for which alio rocoivod groat prniso. Lucy wub a great pot with hor grnndparonts, and, on this account, was called, by u jealous aunt, "The (Jueon of tho House," and this waa given hor na n pot nume. Whon only four yenra old, eho wna oallod upon to encounter with a raltlo snake, and, for a time it beemed that the snake had got the hotter of tho conflict, as hor lifo waa dospaired of, but tlmtlly bIio rallied from tho ell'ecte, and now recalls tho fact as an unusual event. Aa Boon an sho ar rived at an ago when oho could bo in Kouiobodj'ri way, bIio took a great liking to hour-e-keepitig, and Iiub not, ao yot although it might bo expected taken a diblike to it.

' Ab near uh I r-in get nt it Newton nlone hi , expended for poultry nnd produ ts ;r:. r.on. nnd I nm asstired hy both poultry dealers that this estimnto Is low. These hRiueg alinw that the poultry Industry, n a branch, i ono that rates on a basis of dollars and cents, just as does any other branch of farming. No luck about it. Danish from tho mind ut once tho idea that luck haa anything to do with suceous In poultry raising. A hen you hear that some ono has "good luek" iu raising chickens, rest assured that they give their Hocks proper care und attention, and that their bo called "Im k" consists In prac tical business methods. Industry and eloso nttonllon to de tails are necessary to successful poultry raising, hut they nro not thu only or even the chief factors of success. Thero wub a timo when the host farming was tho result of increasing toll, with com' parntlvely llttlo thought. Tho neces Blty for work has not ceased, but tt need of study or "brain work" hai enormously Increased, and in poultry, keeping, na In other forms of labor, It clearly minks tho dllference be tween failure and success. In other words 'Ub not the business that suc ceeds, hut the man or woman In It, and the one who puts business methods Into poultry keeping never fails of success. I will suggest n few of tho ways in which good business nhlllty is shown. In the llrst place tiso pti re-bred stock. One la not likely to give llrst-clasa at tention to scrub stock, and no there Ib no doubt hut that pure-bred stock leads to better methods. In the second place, and I don't know but it should come first, don't inbrced. More evils nnd loss of profit results from thin pruetlce than from all othor boiutcs, llco included. In no placo Ib the saying that "Cleanliness hi next to fiodllness." more nppioprlnto than in the raising of poultry; and If there ever Is n timo when I am strongly tempted I to put cleanliness llrst, It is In this connection. Some men prnetlro economy, chiefly when buying for their wives, and on tho hamo principle tho men who have gran nrles. corn and hay strip tureii, hog houses, horse, cattle and sheep barns galore, toll their wives tint it wouldn't pay to put up tho now- hon-lioiifv: shp iibKou tor, niut at tno sumo time per mit, (I almost said expect) their bettc halves to purchase tho groceries for a family of six or eight, (with an occas ional plug of tobacco thrown In) with tho proceeds of tho poultry yard, with no better facilities for housing than la i m i given by tho top of an apple tree, o 10x12 house, which leaks badly, abi him openings between the hoards on thu Bides, through which tho wind whistles In a manner mournful enough to sug gest nn Aeolian harp. Still, 1 must in sist that ono of tho requisites of profit able poultry raising ia n auitnblo house, which should he mndo as sccuro against drafts as possible, with boards and building paper, a door on thu east, which should fit closely, and a window on the south of glass with board shutter to close nt night.
