Miss Grace Hobson is teaching
the Kewanee school and went home
Saturday to stay over Sunday.
The Becker s hnnl will close on
March 31st with an entertainment
in charge of Miss Stella Spratt.
Church will be held every two
weeks at the Becker school house ,
and Sunday school every Sunday.
The dance at Dnve Archer's Fri
day night was not largely attended
on account of the storm , but those
present report a good time.
Nearly everyone around Sparks
have put in a phone and the line is
kept busy now , and it keeps some
one busy keeping the phones in
running order.
Miss Stella Spratt received a tele
gram Monday night stating the
death of her grand-mother who has
not been expected to live for some
time. Mrs. Spratt was with her
mother during her last days.
It looks as though it would be a
good crop year. Every hollow and
valley is full of snow and water and
some of the level is also covered
with water. One of the neighbors
had to build a boat in order to get
to the barn.
True worth is in being -not xci ming.
In doing each day that goes by
Some Jitrle good not in dreaming
Of great things to do by ami b- .
For whatever men > ay in bl'ndness '
And spite of the fancies of youth ;
There's nothing so kingly as kindness ,
And nothirg si royal as truth.

PORCUPINE.
Penbrook Quills ,
There is plenty of feed on hand
and stock is doing well.
The vernal equinox is marked by
the usual stormy weather.
Jacob Klein's pile of stove wood
looks like a young hay stack.
Penbrook has been snowbound.
Porcupine and some other report
ers must have been snowed under
also.
March surely swapped weather
with January. We hope April
hasn't been dallying with Feb.
A.V. . Hutchison is again award
ed tl o contract for carrying the
mail from Penbrook to Norden.
Mrs. E. L. Hutchison is slowly
improving. The convalesence in
typhoid fever is very wearisome.
We understand one of our lovely
young table land girls has captured
a coon.Ve look to porcupine for
particulars.
It is rather late , but friends in
this neighborhood extend the glad
hand to Mr. and Mrs. Walter Peter
son and wish them a long , happy
and prosperous life together.

What's the matter with the V.H.S.
items ? Is there never a gleam of
humor or a sparkle of fun in that

Tornadoes , shipwrecks , railway
accidents , mine explosions , earth
quakes , tidal waves , famine and
pestilence make up a horrible rec
ord of fatalities for 1905-G. This
old world is becoming rather inse
cure for life and property in these
latter days.
' 'The ejes that peak and pear , to
find the worst a brother holds ; the
tongue that speaks in bitterness ,
that frets and fuinas and scolds ; the
hands that bruise the fallen , though
their strength was made to raise ,
the weaklings who have stumbled at
the parting of the ways All these
should be forgiven , for they know
not what they dc ( ; their hindrance
makes the greater work , for wiser
ones like you. So , when ihey
scourge a wretched one who's drain
ed sin's bitter cup : say something
good about him , if you have to
make it up. " EAGLE.
