Mis Lucilla Slinard entertained th 10th grade very pleasantly at her hom < last Thursday evening.

Mr. Growden had charge of Mis ; Ensoni's classes in mathematics Moii dav morning , Miss Ea&ora having leei suddenly taken ill. P.-of. Crabtree , s'ale inspector of ac credited schools , was with us Wednes day. .He expressed himself as being well satisfied with the school. Miss Bess finds that some of the H S. students aie nt-t even as providen as the old ficotchiimu who wrote a bool and at the end put a page of punctu atiou marks saying that , folk could sal and pepper it as they liked. TheH. S. , Grammar-room and sev eral visitors , Thursday afternoon , en joyed talks by Mrs. L-iw and Prof , Greeloy of S. D. University. The foi- mer bpoke on Domestic Science , deal ing especially with the rt of cooking , the latter gave us a pleas-ant little mis cellaneous talk ou subjects pertaining to education. A graduate of "one of those antique classes which date back into the lOtli century , was recently heard to remark with refei ene to the class of ' 03 that fl new generation had "sprung up" . II weliave rightly construed tbe language of thase ancients , we presume that thin one meant to insinuate that the class oi ; 02 is of the mush-room variet } * . which show how little hhey know about it. Last Friday morning Prof. Watson was vaguely troubled by the unusual disturbance in the II. S. room and said BO. exhorting the pupils to studying and quietness. Now it appears that all the disturbance was due entirely to the class colors of the illustnons clash of ' 03 which they wore that morning for tun first time and which ( being apple green aii'l salmon pink ) are so loud as to be heard even out in the hall. ' We are like a flock of pigeons with snow white feathers which were mad todecend and fight each other'and ever } thing amid soot and wire for a poor living in a dirty world. If a feather gets broken , broken it stays ; if one gets blackened nothing will clean it Perhaps we shall all fly home at last , nnd when the hand of the unseen fancier in streetched forth to receive us Iio\r cun he possibly smite any one of us , tho' we come back to him besnandg- ed and bedraggled past all recognit ion.

A quiet Yet beautiful wedding took place at the residence of Rev. White- house ou Thursday eve Nov. 21,1901. The contracting parties were Mrs. Clara Kicharda of Valentine and Ser- geutVm. . L. Cole of the 10th infantry of Ft. Niobrara , Nebraska. The bride is a wealthy young widow of high standing in this community. She rep resents the true type of the western woman and is highly refined and re spected by all , Sergt. Cole is one ot the true blue St. Louis boy's who step ped to the front when our Hag w s H sailed by the treacherous Spaniards , and stood firmly and staunchly by the cause till peace spread her wings over our fair land again. By strict atten tion to duty and examplary and pa triotic conduct he attained the rank of sergeant in his regiment where he leaves many firm friends who regret to see him leave the old command. Sergent Cole has always been a man of the highest respectability and his character is above reproach. His kindness and entlemanly conduct in tbe army has won for him a host of friends that will always remember him kindly wherever bis lot may be cast. Quartermaster Sergeant James L. Green and Miss Florence-Thompson were io attendance ind performed tbe duties of brides- groom and brnlesmaid , After the cer emony was jn-j formed and Rev. White- liouse had nride a beautiful talk to fhe lewly married couplfl the crowd repair ed to find supper where all enjo3ed , hernselv s splendidly till 11 p. m. Sergeant Cole and bride leave.for an ex- ; ended trip to the east where they will ipend a month in Chicago , New 1 ork md other cities daring their honey moon ifter which they will go into bnainesss n St. Louis. It is hoped by alh fiends that the angel of peace may ipread her wings'over them and guide h'm in the and straight perfectway ind when the great drama of life draws o aclose like a mighty curtain and oath has flown and old age steals up- m them stealthily'it is to be hoped hat the beautiful lines of the immortal K > et may still ring in their eirs as wtfetly and serenely as it did amid the lour of their youthful courtship. Let hose lines reverberate from the hill sps of their youth to tne silent declivit- PS of old age and be their motto along tie turbulent stream of life. Two souls w ith bm a single thought.
