It was well given and clearly protrayed the characters and incidents of this excellent book. Since February 7th of this year was tht hundredth anniversary of Dickens birthday the dramatization was very appropriate and especially interesting to all of us. Miss Smith’s talent was not unknown to us and therefore we were not disappointed in having her with us again. She gave Scott’s “Kenilworth” before the high school last year. Pearl Kitson received a lettei from Miss Constance Hampton of Kidderminster, England. She described the school which she attends ’ There are two hundred and thirty girls enrolled, in the school. There are seven standards. Their studies are much the same a> ours except that they take laundry work, cookery, swimming and housewifery Kidderminister is one of the oldest towns in England. It has many historical connections and it is very interesting to learn of all of them. Monthly School Report.

A large audience in the opera house greeted the well known and popular lecturer Mr Wirt Lowther, the last and best lecture in the Lyceum course. It is to be regretted that the hall could not contain more because such an inspiring lecture by such a talented man should have been heard by every one able to attend. t Mr. Lowther has a commanding interesting appearance, an easy and graceful delivery and above all that attractive oratory which charms and stimulates. The four great secrets are: A High Ideal, A Noble purpose, A Sublime Conviction and An All-Con-suming Love. The Cultivation and practice of these purposes lead one and all on to the perfect and successful life/ Mr. Lowther certainly has a wonderful memory and appreciation of all of our great authors and of all that is good, healthy and improving as shown in his large fund of interesting anecdotes so ably told and applied, We hope to see him with us again and wish him much success on his way through the struggles to that ideal life which he so well depicted.

The town board certainly made a good purchase when they bought the electrical thawing machine. They put the thing to a good test yesterday and the results were very gratifying. The time it required to thaw out pipes was much less than what it took to make the connection Every winter people have been inconvenienced by the water mains and pipes freezing but now that we have the thawing machine all serI ious trouble can be avoided. . -
