ISS NELLIE HENRY was the school teacher in the Bush Creek district. Her home was in Denver, about fifteen miles distant. Every evening she and the young man who kept the telephone oliice at Denver would have a little talk over the telephone. Miss Henry was lonesome out in the country and Mr. Miller, for that was the switch- tenderis name, liked a little diversion. When he was not busy he called her up and joked with her, and told her how much he cared for her. Once he came out to see her on Sunday. They went to church together and Miss Henry was proud to introduce him to every one she knew as, ttMy friend, Mr. Miller? One Friday evening she went to town with a neighbor. She did not tell Mr. Miller that she was coming, but thought she would surprise him, as he had been telling her how much he wished she could come to Denver. On Saturday afternoon she went down to the telephone office to see him. Mr. Miller seemed glad to see her, but when she proposed their going to a concert together that night he said he could not go because there was no one to take his place. tllf that is the only reason, I can get my brother to stay here while we are gone? she said. He made other excuses but she finally won his consent to go. At the concert he found a place for them in the back of the balcony.. $ $ $ ?k 93 5: 3!: Robert Sawyer, a young dentist of P , was Visiting his parents in Denver. They lived next door to Mrs. Lee, a widow lady, and her daughter Rose, who was a beautiful and talented young lady. Mr. Sawyer and Rose had grown up together and seemed almost like brother and sister to each other. While Mr. Sawyer was at home he saw Miss Rose quite often, and wanted her to go with him to the concert on Saturday night. III cannot go? said she. tlAre you good at keeping secrets? I guess we are old friends and I had better tell you. I am engaged to a young man; he is the switch-tender at the telephone oflice and his name is Mr. Miller? ttSo that is the reason, is it? said he. Itlf he is in the telephone office he will never see you, and we can sit where nobody will notice us.' She went with Robert and they sat in the back part of the balcony. When the concert was over and the people were leaving, two young couples met face to face in the balcony.

She received her early education in the public schools of Stayton. She then attended the Uni- versity of Chicago, from which she received her degree in 1904. Con- sidering that this is only her first year of teaching she has done most excellent work. She has charge of the Latin and physical geography classes and the work in each has been very strong. With this years experience she should make a strong addition to the corps next year. She is very popular among the students, especially the Freshmen, whom she has assisted greatly in class organization, etc. Miss Edith Hazard comes to us from Iowa. She was a graduate from Iowa College in the class of 1903. She also Iis very strong in her class work. She has charge of the rhetoric and grammar departments.
