The general topic is the “Beginningsof the Jewish nation in the National Home." The Penta- teuch and Joshua will be tin-basis of the course. It ought to help people to become familiar withthe bible and so make better men and women of us. Themen who have most largely shaped the history of the English speaking races were men of a pro- found knowledge of the bible. ()SMAN Diegnan reached his home in Stuart, 1a., the other day from the war. and fifty girls of the town stood in a line at the railway station and each one kissed him as he passed. Think of how it would have seemed to have fifty of our belles at the North western depot arranged in order on the plathrm’to greet “Bob W renn and “Jack” Jennings andVIrving Pal- mer, as they marched from the train to the bus. Hundreds of people would have given a quarter each for the sight. Sour: one suggests that we annex the Phillipines and then colonize them with our criminal classes.

The wealthy people of Waukegan buy and pay for the fancy California or other imported fruits, vegetables, butter etc, but the surrounding farm supply the average folks’ want, while here We all have to buy the goods from Chicago. Of course Waukegan is three or four times as large as our city, and has many hundreds of workingmen and their families to feed. and this class buy all their Sxuppliew at home and that of course makes a home market for all the farmers in the surrounding towns can raise. Here “Why do things cost so much more in the Park than in Waukegan,” is a question frequently asked. ()ur idea is, that they cost our grocers more than they do their brethren in Wau- kegan. Thus we find potatoes, _ ap? ples. pears, butter etc, much cheapâ€" er, as a general thing. in Waukegun than here. One reason we think is ‘ this: Waukegan is the market town for a big surrounding territory. There are hundreds of fine farms in Benton and Newport and Antioch and Warren, and to some extent in Avon and Fremonhand even Liberâ€" tyville, that market their produce in Waukegan in its season. Wagon loads of potatoes go in from these farms, all their spare apples, pears, etc, and hay by the half dozen loads almost every day in the year. So there are scores of tine dairies which bring into Waukegan their butter, and always find a market for it, even if the merchants who buy it have to send it to Chicago.» HIGH AND LOW PRICES. ll M
