Soon he was discharged from the hospital with no hills against him, either from the physician or the hospital. lie came to visit this School. I'hat was in the time of Mr. D. F. Bangs. A collection was taken up and there was enough to purchase a ticket to Minneapolis. Later he came down to Faribault to visit the school he had attended for some years. We were there then and he showed us the bullet that had been extracted from hisarm, and we asked him many questions about this Churchs Ferry incident. Only a short time ago one of the teachers in the morning chapel talk gave a resume of this incident, but his chief object was to bring out the sequel which wc append herewith. It seems that this young man whose name is Mr. Matthew Treesc felt that he was still under obligations to Dr. McIntosh of this city, the physcian who attended him ten years ago. So one day recently, he came to Devils Lake from New Rockford, N. D., where he has been employed for several years in a newspaper office. It was a long time since he had been here before, but he located Dr. McIntosh all right and asked the doctor if he knew him. Dr. McIntosh admitted that he did not. Then Mr. Treese told him who he was and that he had come to pay the long standing debt. But Dr. McIntosh said that he had not charged him anything for his professional services. Our young friend insisted that since he had come all the way from New Rockford just ti) pay him, lie should accept the money. The doctor was equally insistent and refused to take the money, and added that Mr. Treese had already paid him by taking the trouble to make t lie long trip here and that was appreciation which the doctor appreciated highly and he considered it compensation enough. Why Not Wear a Sign? l’at, being on his holidays, was one day strolling through the streets of New York, when he saw the figure of a man standing before a shop. There was a card pinned to the man's coat on which was written, “Reduced to §5.” I’at somewhat carelessly approached the figure and exclaimed: “Begorra, sir. you’re safe enough: I’m reduced to 30 cell ts, —- Sel rated.

Trim his ears however you will, A donkey remains a donkey still. February has made a splendid start in the quality of weather distributed. Keep up the good record We burn less coal now and that means more for the Allies. We have had plenty of snow during the three consecutive winters as our snow shovelling brigade can testify, but in fierceness this one beats the two preceding winters. Mr. Charles Danielson, of Morrin. Canada, stopped off at Devils Lake Thursday afternoon, January 31, to see his nephew, Christ Hiller who is attending school here. This was Mr. Danielson’s first visit here and he was much pleased with what he saw both in the school and industrial departments. He thought the work in china painting most commendable. February 5th was the birthday of Dr. E. M. Gallaudel and a short sketch of his life was given in the chapel in the morning of that day. It was the wish of the alumni of-Gallaudet College that the schools of the deaf all over the coun- 5 try observe the day with appropriate exercises. We are proud to do honor to the illustrious son of an illustrious father. Mr. Sheridan, his son Richard, brother Dr. P. II. Sheridan of Dubuque, Iowa, and brother-in-law Mr. F. A. Ul-welling of Aberdeen. S. D. were called to Mohall on Jan. 28 by the serious illness of their father who has been confined to bed for three months by painful and recurrent attacks of neuritis. Since then he has been improving steadily and resting comfortably. He is now in the seventy-seventh year of his age. Tuesday noon Arthur Ganuaw returned to school accompanied by his sister. Mrs. Finnegan, of New Mexico, this being the latter’s first visit to the school where Arthur has spent many happy days. Mrs. Finnegan spent a couple of hours in the class rooms and shops and expressed herself as highly pleased with the work being done. On Friday morning Arthur returned home much to the regret of his many friends here. His health is such that it was deemed best for him to rest awhile longer. We always read the North Dakota Banner. We like it, but would like it better if Ellen Pearson’s name appeared in it oftener. However, the last issue said .somethin}: about Ellen's havin}r furnished nearly all of the jrames for the recent Halloween party for the children—The Nebraska Journal. The reporter of the Banner has a rapacious appetite for news, but if the actors are not on the stage often enough, lie cannot help it. It is now up to Miss Pearson to perform some stunts, and do them within the reporter's zone of vision. Come within the limelight, everyone. A letter recently received by Joe Easthouse from Frank Vorlicky says that Marie Watts of Granada. Minn., was married to Olaf Lundby on New Year's day. Marie attended school here some years ajjo Her husband, we think, was’educated at the North Dakota School. They have our best wishes.—The Companion (Minn.) Olaf graduated in 1911 and since then has given a good account of himself. He was the last one to register at our reunion in June, 191t> and as a consequence missed many faces. This may have beeu a blessing in disguise as far as his bride is concerned. He is a carpenter of mature ability and we have no doubt he will be able to do well with two as he has bceu doing singlehanded. If there is anything belter than text icis/iex, it is theirs.
