The Festive Buckwheat Cake.
When the Snow begins a-flyin', puttln* budk,
wheat cakes in style,
Makes a teller, when he goes Into the kitchen,
toirly smile,
Ana yer mouth begins to water as you stand a-
sniffln' there,
WWle the odors from the griddle All and per-
Ptk       meate the air,
""*A.g  you  note  the   orlspy-old-iamiliar-palate-
tiokllh' Bike,
That yer wife kin turn out, jest the way yer
mother used to make,
Fer tliey ain't no use o'talltin', not a irieal
should we be able
To efcjoy, without that old, familiar pancake
on the table.
, Oh, there's nothin' in the culinary art that
brought the joys
As those buckwheat qakes we used to masticate
when we were boys,
With a alioe of ham to start on, an' the gravy,
. rich and brown,
To kind o'sort o> lubricate yer throat as they
slipped down;
An' the jug o' maple syrup right beside yer
plate the while,
You was jest the most delighted kind o' genus
juvenile,
As, each mornin' at the table, you would alius
undertake
To keep yer mother busy turnin' out the buckwheat cake.
. There's a memory lingers  'round the buckwheat cake, as in your mind,
You turn from all yer troubles, an, the ever-
lastin' grind
Of business cares, that agitate yer thoughts
from day to day.
And you kind o' sort o' linger 'round a scene
that's far away; '
•Tis a orlspj snappy mornin', an' the sun is
jjT.        jest in sight,
~»   At.'
Ac.' the Eallin snowflakes sparkle like a million
diamonds bright,
As a call comes up the stalrway:"Say, you Bill,
for massy sakes,
Git up an' come to breakfus', if you want some
buckwheat oakos?!"
An' you hustle out of bed an' in your drygoods
mighty quick,
Jjest your dad make his appearance with a
springy, seasoned stick,
An' you scoot down stairs o-flyin', an' you
J, ■.      souslo off yer face,
Jin, slide down to the table, jest as dad has
I     finished grace;
An' yer sister pours the coffee, an' you help
yourself^to cream,
While you wf {t with great Impatience, but with
ocstacy supreme,
As yer mother, with a smile upon her face,
perceeds to make
That appetlzin',  stomach-fllUn', crispy   buck-
Wheat cake.
You kin brag of oysters, quail on toast, an'
other viands dear,
*$|at I'll tell you now, an' say It too, with nary
Mt of fear
Of any contradiction, that the fellow who says
that.
Is "simply preachln' nonsense, likewise talkin'
through his hat.
I h'ave tried the   whole caboodle, an' r sort
o'guess I know,
.{An' I'll gamble tnatj'the Hoosler people all
will tell you so)
3?liat the man, I don't care who he is, will make
*    a big mistake
Ijj comparln' quail-oa-toast 'longside the festive
buckwheat cake.

Wednesday of this week the home

loss to Miss Grace, the daughter, as
almost her entire wardrobe was destroyed. Being acquainted of this fact
Ben. Tatman circulated a subscrip*
tion and in a short time raised
enough to more than replace the lost
This was a thoughtful move for
Mr. Tatman and the young lady is
surely very thankful to those contributing.

We have a little safe in our office,
but we hasten to say that it is for no
other purpose than to protect Our bad
debts.—our book accounts,—and that
the money till never saw a dollar.
Subscription to the Sentinel remains one dollar in advance, and we
shall be glad If those owing us an account will please settle before Christmas. The children will be expecting
Santa to fill their stockings and
things look a little dubious at this
writing.
TEACHERS' ASSOCIATION.
An Interesting Meeting of Clare
County Pedagogs at Farwell
Last Week.
The Clare county teachers association held at Farwell December 7 and
8, was in every way a success. There
was a good attendance from Farwell,
Clare and the district schools but it
was a noticeable fact that not a teacher from the Harrison _ schools was
present, why we do not know. Tbe
county seat has been considered by
Harrison people at least as the very
center of education and culture in the
county and it seems improbable that
the Harrison teachers would by choice
absent themselves from an association
the chief aim of which is the promotion of education. Therefore we will
attribute their nonappearance to some
difficulty Insurmountable. The association was called to order by vice-
president C. B. Chaffee and devotional
exercises conducted by Rev. Maxwell.
The first paper was Drawing in the
Grammar Grades by Miss Clara Bruskef
discussed by Miss Maud Rutheford.
Miss Rutheford being absent, her
paper was read by Miss Louie Louch.
Both papers showed a keen appreciation of the beauty and value of art
and offered many valuable suggestions
for the teaching of drawing.
Children's Literature by Miss Faith
Robinson was the next in order and
deseryed much commendation. Miss
Robinson shewed herself master of
her subject and gave many valuable
suggestions for supplementary reading. Then followed the business meeting. Mr. Bennett was elected president and the other officers, all of
whom had been appointed to fill vacancies, were considered elected for
the ensuing year. The afternoon
session was very interesting. Supt.
Chaffee discussed the subject Science
in the Country Schools. Supt. Bennett The Culture of the Teacher and
Miss Muriel Knowles Physical Culture in the schools. All were vastly
interested and instructive and no
teacher could listen to these papers
without learning something. The
recitation in geography by the 5th and
6th grades under Mrs. Susan Shepard's
instruction was very good indeed and
showed much careful training. Prin.
Grawn of the Mt. Pleasant Normal
gave a short address on "Bow to
Study." His suggestions were excellent and any teacher carrying out the
plan he suggested would be assured
of success. The subject was also ably
discussed by Miss Mable Currier.
Friday evening Prin. Grawn addressed
the teachers upon the subject "De.
mocracy and the Public School". Mr.
Grawn showed himself to be a deep
thinker and an able orator. After tbe
lecture the teachers repaired to the
home of Mr. and Mrs, Clayton Honeywell where a very enjoyable evening
was passed. Saturday morning's session was of very short duration.
Examinations in the country schools
by Belle Ironmunger, the "Teaching
of Patriotism" by MIsb Frankie Kil*
bourn and a short talk by the commissioner completed the program.
All departed feeling that they had
gained much by attending the association. The teachers of Clare county
wish to thank Mr, and Mrs. Honeywell for their hospitality, Mrs,Chaffee,
Messers Roys and Seeley for their
music and the Farwell people in general for their efforts m making the
association a success.
One who was there.
