which she relates the story of one "Rev.''
Peck, who is there taking up collections
to assist himself in missionary work, in
which he claims to be engaged among
the Esquimaux in Pembina, North Da-

of the hardships encountered among
these people, who, he claimed, subsisted
on the flesh Of seals, often eating it raw.
They were 400 miles from the nearest

1000 miles further north. The young
lady was deeply touched by the earnest.

Professor Turner was born in Templeton,

meant. Jonathan was given a deed of the
paternal farm when he was 10 years old, on
condition that he should stay at home and
work it. At % be decided that he didn't
want any more farming, but wanted to go
to Yale college and get an education, so
that he might be a lawyer like Daniel Web.

speeches had fired his youthful imagina-
ton. His older brother, Asa, had been there
before him and was one of the famous yale
band" that did SO much good in the west
In the matter of founding colleges and
schools.
Jonathan made an arrangement with
President Dwight by which he was to
teach athletics in return for his own educa-
ton. He never graduated at Yale, howev-

course. Illinois college, which was one Of
those founded by the yale band" offered
him a position, and be went there to com

When he had been teaching for Is years,
Professor Turner concluded he had got
enough of that also and returned to the oc-
cupation of his youth-farming. He made
a success of it this time and soon acquired
a fortune. One of the things that most i'm
pressed him was the lack of knowledge
among farmers about the principles of sci

fact that within a decade two of its daugh-
tiers have made fame for themselves as
writers under masculine names. Will Allen
Dromgoolei is the latest of these; but, unlike
that of Charles Egbert Craddock, whose
near neighbor and friend she is, the mascu-
Unity of her name is not a mere ruse of the
pen, but was the deliberate choice of her
parents at her birth.
Miss DrOmgo0le was the sixth daughter
in her family. When she was born, her
parents gave up the hope of ever having a
son and listenec to the half humorous sug-
gestion of a neighbor that the baby should
have a boys name. As she grew older she
developed traits in keeping with her mas
culine appellation. Her father was a per-
sistent hunter and fisher, and she became
his constant. companion. She is an expert
with the rod and gun and does not know
what ''feal'' means. Her hunting costume
is of gray corduroy, such as the mountain
GERS wear, and the short skirt reaches just
to the top of the boys boots with which she
covers her little feet.
Up in the Cumberland foothills Miss
Dromgoole has apleasaDt cottage where she
and her father, as chummy as ever, spend
their time from April to November every
year. The father is now 50 years of age,
but is still al expert angler, and many a
day the pair of them walk 10 miles in pur-
suit of their outdoor pastime. Miss Drom-
goole christened her cottage ''The Dem"
but her neighbors call it ''The Yellow Ham,
mer's Nest" Her study there is decorated
with the skins Of animals which she and
her father have shot, and the floor is car
peted with similar snOils Of the chase The
walls are decorated with pipes and walking
sticks, gifts from admiring m~ountaineers.
Each Of the sticks commentaries a story.

How 10 Kill Microbes.

A member of the Grand Forks city
council, who has evidently not the softest
side in the world for the Northwest
News. suggests the following mode of
determination Of the Grand Forks
microbes: "Build a large tank having a
capacity Of a number Of thousand gal
Ions, into which the river water could be
transferred. Then take Bierly and dump
him bodily into this reservoir full of
water and let him kick and thrash
around to his hearts content. The mi
crobes would be dead when he had done.
You might fire a cannon off near that
reservoir, or pass an electric current
through it and the microbes might still
be alive and kicking, but with Bierly and
the perpetual action OF his legs in that
water, the microbes would quit in dis
gust, and finally die in despair because
of their inability to attain the perfection
in the art which Bierly has"
