Professor Albert Boehm, of this city, is
an enthusiastic naturalist. He has large
collection of birds and animals, and
makes a practice of exhibiting them at
fairs. The professor was at the Winona
fair, and had his museum in tent on
the grounds. One day a gentleman
stepped in by the tent and looked at a
couple of coons which were tied to stake
near the entrance. He did not know
what the animals were and asked the
professor, who told him they We're coons,
and said: IF you will give me ten cents
and come inside me tent, when you come
out you will know more about natural
history than any of your normal profess
sors. The offer was a good one, but the
gentleman refused and turned away.
Professor Boehm asked a bystander who
it was, and was told, Professor, OF
the Winona normal school. La Crosse
