Dr. Nealo visited the high school last Wednesday. Vila Arley is on tho sick list. Notwithstanding the severe cold weather we have hud the last fow weeks, tho school building has been very com fortable. We certainly have a good system of heating, far excelling that in our former building. The McKlnloy momoriul exorcises were well attended by the town people. McKlnley's life appeals strongly to every boy and girl. No president of lato years has been loved by the child ren of our nation as was McKinlcy. Tbo offering for the McKlnloy fund was not as large as we should liked to have had. A monument to Wm.

Our school hill has been almost im passable. The sidewalks have been a glare of Ice for tho past two weeks. Several pedestrians on Friday evening received slight shocks when returning from the lecture. Coasting is fine. The children enjoy coasting and also the children of a larger growth. The 20th Century Club of Room 13 have olocted tho following officers: Pres., Sara Kollor; V. Pres., Bessie Sensor; Sec, John Plyler; Critio, Mar garet Daily. The Shakespearian society will have a mock trial Feb. 28. V A slelghrido given by tho Senior Class was a thorough success. The oartv consisted of 11 bout eighteen Sen iors and Juniors with Miss Dally, Miss Kunes, Prof. Lenkord and Prof. Mc Clure as chaperons. Leaving Royn oldsvllle about 2:00 p. m. wo arrived at our destination, Punxsutawney, about 6:00 p. m. and partook of a sumptuous supper at Hotel Pantall, whore we wore reoelved with great kindness. Several members of tho pnrty, whose names we will not mention, wore greatly taken (?) with Punxsutawney and were very reluctant about leaving. After some delay tho merry party started on its homeward journey, arriving in our native town about 12 o'clock midnight. We all had a pleasant time which will not soon be forgotten. , Mrs. Soffel's Offense. If Mrs. Soffol is guilty of no worse crime than that of having her sympathy excited bocause the Biddies were shut up In iron cagos awaiting death, she is not to be severely censured,. It is the nature of women to be sympathetic. Thore are physiological reasons for it over which she has no control. She is made for motherhood, and helplessness or distress appeals to her with a force that mon cannot understand. It is that tendernoss which fits hor for maternity, and which is a part of her being. Very frequontly we bear of women taklpg a morbid interest in some brute in human form who has committed a crime that should exolte only execration in the human breast. Thoy never do it, how ever, until tho wretch is In the hands of the law and Is rendered powerless to further Injure socloty. For that very reason women are unfit to administer justice, and would be unsafe even as criminal lawyers. If, however, Mrs. Soffel was prompted by a guilty love for the depraved being for whom Bhe abandoned everything, she is either In sane or a moral monstrosity. To for sake the sacred duties of motherhood on account of a base passion for a des perate criminal, places her outside the pale of womanhood. By accompanying Ed. Blddle with the ldoa of living with him, and leaving four or five small children at home, she was violating a law of naturo of which evon a wolf or a hyena would not have been guilty.
