Last Monday two pupils were en

of the best magazines, has been )tac

hours.
Monday morning Father Donnelly
md Father Kerns visited the school.
Father Donnelly gave us a very in
teresting account of some of his
traveds. He emphasized the need of
a thorough education as a founda
tion for pleasant and profitable
travel. His talk was a treat to
teachers and pupils and we wish
we could have such visitors fre
quently.
Mrs. Folberg visited Miss Hall's
room one afternoon. We are glad to
see such interest taken in our work.
Miss Buor, has lost for a time
one of her pupils, Cecil Morrison,
who has gone to the exposition.
However, she has gained another,
Eloise Amundsen, of Illinois, who is
now in the Third Grade.
Miss Kent has two new Fifth
Grade pupils, Gene Amundsen, of
Illinois, and Edmee White of Pet

The little paper, “Current Events"
is being introduced in the High
School and this we trust will arouse
greater interest in important events.

A HORSE UNMASKED A SPY
It was learned recently by one of
the officers in the French army the
following incident: It appears that
behind the British lines in France,
the horse of one of the cavalrymen
on guard, snatched a mouthful of
hay from a stack as he was pass
ing by. To the sentry's surprise,
part of the stack tumbled off dis
closing a German officer. On in
vestigating, it was found that the
officer had cut a place in the hay
and was using a telephone to con
vey information of British move
ments to German lines. It is be
lieved that the spy had occupied the
place for a month or more.

CARD TARTY A SUCCESS
The card party given by the Civic
Club last evening was a decided suc
cess, inasmuch as everyone present
had an enjoyable time and hated
to go home. It seems a pity, how
ever, that more did not avail them
selves of this' opportunity to have
a pleasant evening, as there were
only twelve tables playing. After
the game there was a little informal
dancing.
The prize winners were Mrs. Wrn.
Wright, firsl ladies’ prize, one
year’s subscription to the Womans
Home Companion; Mr. Clarance
Fickle, first Gentlemen's prize, one
year’s subscription to the American
Magazine. The consolation prizes
were awarded to Miss Schaffer and
Sergeant Brock, of the Burnside and
consisted of a head of cabbage and
a pumpkin.

BURNSIDES LOOSES ANCHOR
The government cable ship Bum
side, that has been in port since
Wednesday, is busy today trying to
find her anchor that was lost over
board Wednesday night. The Burn
side will leave here for Valdez to
fix the cable up there and will then
return here on her way to Seattle.
The recent storms caused much de
lay in repairing the cable between
here and Wrangell, thus causing us
to believe that the northern break
was the first to be repaired. While
in port here the first officer of the
Burnside was taken to the hospital
with congestion of the lungs.
