That being safely accomplished, there was something grimly humorous in the trend taken by affairs in the old house on Calumet. For Eva married. Married well, too, though he was a great deal older than she.
"Now, that is A, B, and that is C. Try to remember them, and I will come soon and talk with you again." "You wah-wah?" "Yes," said Mr. Mann, doubtful of the Indian's thought. "She wah-wah?" "Yes." "You heap wah-wah. You good. She heap wah-wah. She no good. Potlatch come; dance. She wah-wah no more. I wah-wah." Mr. Mann was pained to see the revengeful trend of the Indian's thought.
"Are bonds better than stocks, father?" asked Maria. "Yes," replied Harry, importantly. "Always remember that, if you have any money to invest. A man can afford to buy stocks, because he has better opportunities of judging of the trend of the market, but bonds are always safer for a woman."

Seventy of the eighty-eight counties now have such schools and the trend is toward them throughout the State. One such school replaces, on the average, eight one-room schools.
