The attendance this last month
has been good and I hope that all
parents, teachers, and children
will do their best to see that it
black and white, and the courts
speak about in fact every body
makes plenty of them. Never
theless how uncharitable some
people are when it is the other
fellow who does it There is a
difference in mistakes. Some are
seen only by one or two while
those of the newspaper stand out
in the limelight for evrybody to
notice. Always take a look in the
glass before you criticise others. "
An awful calamity happened
Saturday at Therry, Illinois.
Someone threw a lighted match
into some straw in the coal mine
there; the straw set the mine on
fire and cut off the retreat of
some 450 miners, all of whom
are supposed to be dead.
H. G. Campbell, the well known
real estate man, arrived home
yesterday from a short vacation
trip to Eastern Oregon. He re
ports business lively east of the
mountains and says there is a
large rush of homesteaders to the
country lying along the lines of
the new railroads. Edward
Bricker, who accompanied Mr.
Campbell on the trip from Dal
las, went on to the Christmas
Lake country, where he will file
on a desert claim. Observer.

teachers asking that among other J
things we do this year, we have j

have its individual drinking cup,
now over half of the schools in
the county have reported the
grounds cleaned, out buildings
repaired, and about two-thirds
have reported the individual
drinking cups.
These are all being asked for
because of the benefit to the
health of the children and if all
parents, school officers and teach

these matters we would soon
have the Blue Ribbon county in

We All Make Them
Mistakes are easily made and
last week we had a score or so
staring us in the face after we got
the Herald printed. However we
may deplore our errors there are
others in the same ship. The
Albany Democrat is authority for
the following:
"How easy it is to make mis
takes in this world. No one real
ises it more than the newspaper
man, whose life is full of them;
but does he make any more than
others? Take the merchant, for
instance, his errors are numerous,
fjs the delivery men will tell, and
the lawyer, as the records tell in
of Paul's great work and of the won
derful love and grace of God to him,
and then think of the sumptuous lives
cf the chief priests who were, in great
measure, responsible for Paul's Buf
fer' rg, and then say, after all, which
gm ibe more aggregate joy but of life,
Paul or they?
How many of these cruel sufferings,
to which Paul here refers, are men
tioned elsewhere In the New Testa
ment? Give chapter and verse. (See
Acts Ix: 24-25; xlv:19; xvi:22 et seq.)
Verses 28-33 Is Paul an exception,
or is it the duty of all of us to have
a great care for all the churches, and
to be In sympathy with everybody,
weeping with those who weep, and re
joicing with those who rejoice?
Which is the greater man, the one
who excels In education, in science,
In oratory, in statesmanship; or the
one who excels In his love for the
churches, for the poor, for sinners
and In a heart that sympathizes with
all mankind?
Chapter xil: 1-6 What is the logical
or scientific value of Paul's experience
of heaven?
What Is the only real proof of God,
of immortality and of the wisdom of
the spiritual life?
Is It probable, or possible, that per
sons to-day may have similar exper
ience of the unseen world as Paul?
Verses 7-10 What was Paul's "thorn
In the flesh?"
What Is the greatest "thorn In the
flesh" that strong and healthy spirit
ual men have to-day?
