State educators TO our town, as well

Of a certain college or normal school,
or will hold in his hand splendid
little volume or educational journal
that will greatly aid the teacher in
his work" and ANY one desiring TO
do so can give me his name during
the afternoon"
Each session has excelled the preced-
ing one in point of interest and at
tendance. The instructors are unceas-
ing in their efforts and have on each
subject. though it be an old one, pre-
sented new facts.

Buckbee delivered her popular illus
trated lecture on Cuba and Cubans.
The Court House, in which the lee
ture was delivered, was packed with
the teachers and citizens, who were
entertained in a most instructive and
eloquent manner for over two hours

years ago and represented every phase
Of Cuban life.

Drunken Man Falls
Beneath a South
Shore Train.
But 1t Never Touched Him
MY laying Perfectly Motionless the
Man Managed 10 Escape Injury
"A lesson 10 others.

Hardly day passes but what someone
attempts TO board moving train as II
leaves the Calumet depot and II there ID
not a serious accident in spite OF all that
the trainmen do to keep people from
doing such things, it will be queer, indeed.
At the South Shore depot the other al
ternoon there was an illustration ofwhat
happens very frequently. Just as the
train was pulling out OF the station and
the conductor had boarded the cars,
man, about half intoxicated, tried TO get
onto the platform after the conductor.
He caught hold of the bar. but the train
was already gong at such speed that
he struck his leg against the side OF the
step and fell under the train. large
number on the depot platform saw the
whole affair and a cry went up, as every
one thought the man was doomed. But
he was Just intoxicated enough to lie
still and by so doing saved himself. de
fell within few inches OF the car wheels
and lay motionless until the entire train
passed over. II he had moved an inch
one way or the other it would have
meant a serious il not fatal accident.
The train was late in getting out OF
the depot and the engineer started out
at a swift pace, so that it was with diff
Guilty that the train was brought to
standstil. Those who saw the man fall
under the cars say it was territ lie sus-
pense to watch the train moving along
oyer him and knowing that IL he moved
it would perhaps mean his death. Some
OF the ladies on the platform and on the
train we're unable to control themselves
and shrieks and cries ofterror we're heard
on every hand.
After the train had gone by the man
got up and did not seem to be very much
affected over the narrow escape. The
depot men say that so many people
think they know as much about train
as the trainmen themselves do that they
become confident in their ability 10 get
onto the train after il IL under way and
cases OF people being thrown from the
cars in so doing are frequent.
1t ia risky business and some time an
accident will occur which will be lesson
TO those who try it.

sual note and coming as it does at the
holiday season OF the year, the young

party on New Years eve. Their annaul
this year will be no less OF success that
it has in previous years and the members
OF the different committees are already
hard at work preparing for the event.
The attendance gives promise OF being
very large as there will undoubtedly be a
large turnout from the two Portage
Lake towns and Lake Linden is likely TO
send good sized delegation. as it usually
does. The committee having the special
train in charge finds itself somewhat Dut
out in their plans, They we're unable to
get the special train over the III. 4 c.
road 80 as to take in Lake Linden, as
was announced IN the Invitations and
consequently people from that town will
have to drive up to attend the dance.
