But McCormick was persistent and trailed in pursuit, sometimes near enough to carry on his wooing in person. Miss Deering’s father objected to the match, it is said, because he did not believe McCormick book as serious a view oif life as he should.

SIX GIRL GRADUATES RECEIVE DIPLOMAS

Monnettr School Tor Girls Turns Out Good Class—Splendid Address by Dr. Gardiner. Six young ladies were graduated from the Monnefct School for Girls Wednesday evening, the exercises being held at Trinity M. E. church. At 8 o’clock the six graduates, bearing a chain of vines and flowers, marched into the church and occupied a row of seats in the choir section. They were followed by the other students of the school, for whom rows of seats by the students, including the graduates and the song was rendered so pleasingly as to speak in the highest terms ol the training the girls had received. Rev. Parrett offered an invocation and then Dorothy Kernohan, a very little girl, sang in a delightful way, “That’s What I’d Do.” Dr. Curnick then introduced Dr. James L. Gardiner, of South Bend, who deilvered the address to the graduates. His theme was “A Life Worth While.” It was an address that should have been heard by a very large audience as it pointed out the necessity of work and thought and Christian living to actually make life worth while. Although the evening was very warm the good-sized audience gave to Dr. Gardiner the closest attention and his address was ap predated by all. In presenting the diplomas Dr. Curnick said that the girls of Monnett School are surrounded iby a refining influence, a sweet gracious, Christian influence that makes it an ideal place for them. He expressed the belief that the school will become a great credit to the Methodist church of the conference and to the city of Rensselaer. He said he believed the time would come when splendid brick buildings would grace the grounds and that they would be filled wiitfh girls who were to receive the highest ideals in a Christian education. ‘These six girls,” said Dr. Curnick, “are the product of the prayers and hope and work of the teachers and friends of this nolble institution, and they have completed the eighth year work in a manner most creditable and I find a splendid pleasure in awarding to each one a diploma for their work.” The audience was dismissed by a benediction pronounced by Dr. Curnick. The Republican learns that plans are in the mlaking for securing other new buildings for the school and that a professional solicitor is to be engaged to work for the ingtitption this fall and that it is more than probable that within another year the new buildings will be started. A member of the board of managers stated that he had great hopds that within ten years buildings worth SIOO,OOO would be built and the school will have from 100 to 150 girls. The financial management has been excellent the pas# year and the report made to the board meeting Wednesday was very pleasing. Upwards of S4,(KM) was spent by the institution with Rensselaer merchants during the past year, which should be an argument for the institution to all of those who look at it from solely a selfish standpoint, while to others who are interested in the splendid work-of giving a Christian education to giriis should be proud indeed to have the school located in Rensselaer.

Thursday my wife wanted to crack some nuts and asked me to borrow a hammer for her, I decided that we needed one bad enough for me to buy one, so at noon I stepped into a hardware store and made the purchase. I was In a hurry and did not have it wrapped up. I started homeward with that hammer in my hand. I had gone only about a block when a lawyer friend of mine caught sight of me. He was across the street, but that made no difference. “ ‘Hey, Jim,’ he called, ‘what’a up? Going to do a little knocking?’ “I smiled and went my way in silence. Pretty soon another friend saw me. He crossed the street and stopped me. ‘Jim,’ he said, ‘you ought to get some nails aol take a drive.’ “Again T smiled and pasted on. Not long after that a married woman who lives near us met me. ‘Why, how do you do? * she said, smiling, ‘I suppose your name is Hammerstein, now.’ "That was pretty fierce, but she was A lady, so I let it go. Two blocks farther on I met our grocery boy. ‘Going to be popular soon, I see, Mr. Blank,’ he said, pleasantly. ‘How’s that?’ I replied. ‘Well, you’re going to make a hit with the nails, I presume,’ be said.
