house Thursday evening. given by
the Athletic club, but the entertain
ment was excellent, nevertheless,
and showed that w. A. Smith, the
gymnasium instructor, is putting in
some hard work and has Il class OF
excellent subjects to instruct. All the
members of his class seem to take a
deep interest in athletics and ha1 e
made considerable progress during
the short time they have been
training. The program consisted OF
dumb bell exercise, performing on
parallel bar, wrestling, spa ring,
running, high jumping, heeland-toe
walking. etc. Good music was
furnished by the band. Another

The Hennepin Paper company has
about shut off buying pulp wood
from the farmers for this season.
Altogether the company has pnr-
chased about 5000 cords of wood
this season, which is an unusually
large amount for this time OF year.
1t is something unusual for the farm
ers to haul in wood before we have
good sIeighing, but they did it this
year because they had nothing else
to do. The poplar wood sold this
year for from $3.50 to $l.75 per cord
and the spruce for $3 per cord. All
the poplar wood brought in now
will have to be used up before Au-
gust or it will be worthless, while the
spruce will not have to be used for
over a year. So for this year the
farmers have had an excellent mar
ket for their wood and it has been Il
blessing to many of them.

The FLYING Turk.

In Knolles' History Of the Turks"
there is an eloquent account of fly
ing man, whose feat was part of the
amusement provided for the visit of
the Turkish sultan to the Greek en-
peror in 1147. He was to fly a fur
long from the top of a high tower,
on which he appeared lin long and
light white garment in many plaits
devised for the gathering Of the
wind"
He lowered on the battlement, I'M
willing to venture into the unaccus-
toned element, and not until the i'm
mense throng Of spectators grew i'm
patient and began to cry, Fly, Turk,
fly" did he take flight. Instead of
mounting aloft he came tumbling
down and broke every bone in his
body. Dr. ring the 800 years that have
intervene little better has been
done. In Scotland a criminal con-
deroned to death was offered by the
savants of the day the alternative OF
trying his luck with wings from the
top of Stirling castle, and he came
down in perfect safety, but that again
was not flying, but falling.
