Gordon Lord writes us from
Hyannis that he is working on the
North Platte forest reserve this
winter and asks us to send him the
paper there so he can learn the
news from home. Mr. Lord is a
forest guard.
F
Chapman , the druggist , in a
neat advertisement elsewhere in
this paper , suggests many things ,
suitable and useful , for a Christ
mas present. Personally , the line
of goods suits us to a "T , " rather
than the proverbial gift of "red
neckties and slippers. "
The weather has been unusually
fine this fall and now , only a few.
days before Christmas , we have
had no snow to speak of and very
little cold weather" The ice on
the mill pond freezes and thaw's
and is not considered safe to skate
on , yet , though for a few days ,
skating was good. The weather
flag now says colder and snow.
A. L. Pedersen writes us the
following as he 'is about o leave
New York for Denmark : "We
are now nearing New York where
we are due at 10 o'clock tonight ,
and i will leave New York Satur
day. Fine weather down here , a
little bit cold , though , and several
inches of snow is covering the
ground all the way from Chicago
to New York. All New York
trains crowded with passengers
leaving for Christmas in the Old
Country , partly on account of the
money situation here. "
J. T. Keeley has installed a hot
water heating plant in his resi
dence , using a Tabasco hot water
healer. We went up to see the
plant and found his house so warm
that he kept the front door open
for ventilation and comfort , and ,
at r 5ght , they had to throw the
windows open and throw oft' the
surplus bed clothing. Mr. Keeley
was using hard coal and filled the
magazine so that the heat was
steady with all drafts shut oft' .
One stove or fire thus heats sever
al rooms , and if Jack gets the fire
regulated we'll try the same kind
of a plant ,

SCHOOL NOTES.
BY PROF. II. IT. WATSOX.
School will close on Friday of
ndxt week , Dec. 20th , for the
Xmas holidays and will not open
again until Monday. Jan. 6th.
Quite a 'number of pleasant let
ters have been received lately from
different members of the alumni
of the Valentine high school.
On account of poor health Ethel
Jefi'ers has been compelled.to drop
out of school for a time , and Nelda
Hoefs has been given Ethel's place
in the high school room until the
latter returns to school , then Nelda
will have to take her place back
in the eighth grade room.
Miss Wendte now has 30 pupils
in her seventh grade and it re
quires double quick work to hear
them all recite icu one twenty-five
minute period. She also has 20
pupils in her sixth grade. If it
were not that our high school is so
crowded that we are compelled to
seat the overflow in the eighth
grade room , we could divide the
seventh grade and give part of the
pupils to the eighth grade teacher.
