OWN THE STREET.

Geo. Pass defense in the action
brought against him by D. P. Hayes
for the alleged obstructing of Madison
avenue will be that there is no public
highway on Madison avenue. The
Mankato Lime and Stone Co. claims
to own the land which Mr.. Hayes says
is street. Mr.. Pass states that Mr..
Hayes has the use of sufficient cart
way along the so-called street. Mr.,
Hayes has been doing business with
his firm and never made any COM
plants personally, and his arrest was
a surprise to him. His trial has
been postponed to October 18th.

1t is hoped in the same way to Gre
ate an interest among the people OF
our city in the benefits of the Young
Mems Christian Association Night
School. This is comparatively a new
institution in Mankato, but one that
should and will yield to it's patrons a
liberal return; to those who contrib
ute to its support in the satisfaction
of seeing our young men better edu-
Gated and therefore better able to
take care of themselves and to per-
form their various duties in life. To
those who enter the school the reward
will be in feeling that they are doing
something for themselves and for the
community in which they live by get

OF INTEREST TO PARENTS.
The Fall Term of the nodel School
Begins nOnday.

The summer term has closed and
has proved itself a decided success
both in the Model School and Normal
department. The enrolment was
about what was expected, nearly two
hundred and fifty children being in
attendance. They were interested
and enjoyed their summer work. The
regular pupils returned almost with
out exception September 6. There
was large gain in the attendance Of
the Primary department. and a slight
one in the Grammar department.. In
the intermediate there was slight
decrease in the enrolment for the
fall term. 1t is confidently ex-
rpected, however, that Miss Oar
rah, who is to- have charge 81 of
that department this year, will at
tract large number to it,. The plans
for home-task work have been modi-
fed and the program will be on a
somewhat different basis. 3 The
changes will meet with general ap-
prOVal and as soon as the work of
that department. becomes known 1t
will grow to size at least proper
tiOnate to the others.
In fact if parents would only come
and inspect the methods and equip
ment of the Model School, not on the
surface but in their final effect on the
minds of the children, every depart
partment would be doubled. In
spection and criticism are invited.
Two educators Of many years ex-
perience who visited the school last
year spoke in the highest terms of
the work there. One said he had not
seen any better work anywhere unless
1T be in Brookline, Massachusetts,
where only college graduates are al
lowed to teach and then only after
careful training. --.s-~~4
The school opens for the fall term
on Monday, October 4. Those who
have not been able to enroll during
September will be received on that
date. 1t should be borne in mind
that the slight tuition charged pays
| for the rental of all text books, for
library privileges and the use Of the
museum. ''''.,.' '.'' '..,''',,''.. ~ 80,

y TREED BY A MAD COW.
Terrible Experience OF hrs. Geo
Hodge, of Medo.A = ~,--.--

On Thursday morning of last week
Mrs. Geo. Hodge, of Medo, had an
awful experience. 1t occurred in the
barn yard on what is known as the
Ketzeback farm, where, for two long
hours, Mrs. Hodge held ON to the
slender limbs of a bunch Of willow
trees, while COW, frothing at the
mouth, ragged backward and forward,
charging into the trees until the con-
slant bunting had removed the. bark
Of the trees and but for her weaken
ing strength would have perhaps sue
ceeded in telling the tree, says the
Mapleton Enterprise. 81 OF MS | iqa .....
For a few, days previous: MI. Hodge
had noticed THAT one of his best COWS
wasHsiek and had left it in, the yard
where it might receive proper care.
Mr. Hodge being away his, wife
thought she would go out and see
the animal, which was lying down in
Pthe yard, but she had hardly ventur-
ed near when the animal, with. all
the, appearances Of a mad dog, gave
herCa chase. IA bunch of willow trees
at one side Of the yard was her only
refuge, and she hurriedly took, adj
vantage Of the, same, holding on to
the, branches above, 20 out of the
taanimals reach until her arms ached
with pain It was a terrible posi-.
ton to be in. and knowing that
death would surely result should she
fall Within the animals reach she
was peryed; Ito, hold on until Ihelp
should arrive. Mr., ,Whorter,t the

Robespierre AS a Poet.

We all fancy that we know all that
there eau be to know about Robes
pierre, and something about Lazare
Carnot, grandfather of the late
President Of the French Republic,
but few persons suspect that in 1888
they, together with all the young
aristocrats of Arras, sang songs in
praise of wine aud love aud beauty,
and, crowned with roses, recited the
ballads and madrigals Of the
troubadours OF the thirteenth
century.
They both were active members
Of the Society OF the Rosati, found
ed at Arras in 1878. The meetings
OF this society took place on the
banks OF the Scarpe, in a bower Of
roses planted for that purpose.
They were held only at the season
when rosos were in bloom, and the
candidale for admission was required
to pluck rose, inhale its fragrance
three times, and place it in his but
ton-hole, after which, taking glass
OF rosy wine, he drank it at one
draught to the health and prosper
ity Of all Rosati, receiving at the
hands Of the president diploma in
verse, which was to be responded to
in like manner.
Here are the verses that Robes
pierre offered to the society on his
admissions:
THE ROSE.
see in the nosegay you offer
A sharp thorn side by side with
the rose.
Your poetic words shame the poor
prefer
or thanks, gentle sirs, in my prose;
The things you 80 charmingly said
Have COMPOUNDED and rendered
me dumb.
The rose is the compliment paid;
The thorn, my poor answer to
come.
Alb, yes, in this beautiful fete,
Where harmony reigneth alone,
What bud with the rosebud can
mate?
What verses can equal your OWE
| bewail the sad fate that is ours
The fate that misplaces, alas us;
For what the rose is amongst flowers,
Your poems will be in Parnassus.
When I ponder your gift, confess,
BY my faithl it is not all l
thought it,
And my sense of your kindness
grows less,
For know now from whence you
have brought it.
And your sacrifice, srs, may be
found
Not so great as the world would
suppose;
Since your gardens with laurels
abound,
You can spare rue the gift of rose.

Destruction Caused by Bagpipes.
A Scotch Highlander, dressed in
kits and carrying set of bagpipes
under his arm, appeared at Bar Har-
Dor the other night, and next morn
ing at s o'clock strolled up Main
street in search OF good place to
try the bag ON the natives. 1t is
years since the uncanny music OF the
eanny Scot has been played there,
and it had wonderful effect, the
first tune causing no less than five
simult aneous runaways among horses
and the wrecking of the two wagons
and sets OF harnesses. The bagpiper
stopped in the middle OF the tune to
sec the fun, and after he saw the
destruction that one tune had
wrought he let the wind out of the
pipes and took the 1880 O'Clock boat
for Bangor.-Maine Exchange.
