"Beine A Boy 1"

"Being Boy" by Charles Dudley
Warner, might be very properly
called ''The Illumination of a Boy"
so charmingly does the author write
of him. The aim of the author has
been ''to keep the man out of the
boys life: this he has succeeded in do
ing, and we see life's springtime of the
greatest of American essayists,
healthy, wholesome, : happy, above
every mean low thing, but boy all
over. Now boy is a most fascinat-
ing and interesting subject, but even
the most commonplace things are
sesn in the "light" of a new atmos-
phere, which shines and glows over
them ever, after Warner has written
of them. Things become dearer to
us, and we think oftener of them, low
ingly attaching words and phrases OF
beautiful simplicity, to them that he
has taught US, and so ''The Boy has
been fortunate. For those of our
readers who are related to New Eng
land, ''Being Boy" will have an es-
pecial charm, and the enjoyment is
heightened by Clifton Johnson's il
lustrations, which are a part of the
delightful atmosphere of the book,
whichggiyes the reader, in the last SEN
tence, a deep conviction < this with all
Difference to the "Boy" everywhere,
that mo other boy can have either
the simple manliness or the good for
tune Of the New England boy"

''The Life of the Harp. in the Hand
of the Harper by Francis Schlatter
The remarkable life and career of
Francis Schlatter is only scoffed at by
those who are too material to believe
anything not recognized by the five
physical senses. To those who believe
in the old saying that There are more
things in earth, and air, and sky than
are dreamed of in our philosophy.
There is, as yet, an unsolvcd mystery
about the life and work of Schlatter
He seemed to be entirely devoid of
selfshness; working for humanity
alone, as he always refused to take
money for healing. People who went
to see him, full of skepticism, were
awed by the serene almost divine ex-
preston on the face of the man. We
regard this book as valuable contri-
button to literature of an historical
event that is not as yet fully appreciat-
ed. 'sThe Life of the Harp in the

Judgment, described to be Govt. cor's,
which judgment was and is final and
binding upon all parties here to and
upon said Fonda and upon this court.
Now therefore the said objections
are sustained in part, as hereinafter
stated.
Wherefore it is considered, ordered
and adjudged: that the said J. G. Fon-
da correct and amend his said survey
te conform to the said judgment IN the
following particulars, to wit: By re-
cognizing as government corners the
Abrams corners, the Misner corner,
the northeast corner of section IA, the
two Campbell corners and the two
Donneu corners with out disturbing the
balance of said survey and report fur
ther than isrnecessary to recognize
said named corners. In all other res
poets the said survey and report are
hereby approved, and it is further Or
dered and adjudged that upon the said
correction in the said survey and re-
port being made as herein required,
the same shall be duly recorded and
shall become final survey, establish
ing the corners and lines of said town
ship so surveyed. The matter of fees
for the special surveyor, J. G. Fonda.
is reserved to January 25, 1898. The
matter of compens alton for the defen.
dant, Cyrus Roberts. The taxation ot
costs herein, is also reserved to the
same date. J. E. Andrews, Judge,
Bob McCanse evidently believes il
having.peace even though he has tc
fight for it.
| Court will reconvene on the 25th Of
this month to try Stellar again, the
jury having disagreed.
The attorneys in TIE Stellar case
made extremely good arguments and
entertained a large audience for sew
eral hours Mr.. Haun' speech was
very much more frequently mentio oned
by persons commenting on the trial
than that of any of the others, although
they We're all good. .-,
The jury in the Stellar case was out

COURT NOTES.

The case of the State VS.. Westwood
was tried last Friday and resulted in
the acquittal of Westwood. In this
scase it was charged that Joseph West
wood, while an officer of school dis
trict /, charged his district 81 for trip
to Kinsley. The point at issue in this
case was whether school district Of
ficer had a right to charge his school
district for services -wher he did any
.thing for the district. The prosecu-
stiOn contended that under the statutes
such officer was barred from accepting
compensation for any services, no
matter whether the services was in the
line of his duty or not. The defense
.contended that while he could not &C
Icept pay or make any charge for per-
f5rming the duties of his office. that if
The performed any service outside of
THAI, he had the same right to collect
pay for such services as any other
person would have. TIE counsel took
but ten minutes on side to argue the
case. The jury retired and after three
ballots agreed on verdict of acquit-
tai. The complaining witness was very
angry at the outcome of the case. He
met his attorney, Mr.. Dyer, in the
Register of deeds Office, following the
verdict and told him what he thought
.ot him in his usual forcible manner,
and then became involved in quarrel
with two other gentlemen in the hall
making so much disturbance that
one of the under sheriffs had to int er-
fere, The sympathy of the community
was all against him in this case and
it was generally regarded as mali
cious prosecution, and the only regret
expressed was that the costs in the
case were not taxed against him. The
costs to the county are about $40.
This may be cut down by the commits
sioners, but in any case the costs will
be large. .-;.-5Ir.

AMERICAN BOOK COMPANY.

We received last week from the Am
erican Book Co. some samples of
books intended for supplementary
reading in public schools. There were
two of the Johounot series of readers
and they are certainly fine The first
one, "Friends in Feathers ard Furs."
1t is delightful combination of fact
and fancy that will surely teach the
young pupil great deal of natural
history without his being aware of it.
The second of the Johonnot series
':Neighbors with Wings and Fins" is
for more advanced pupils and gotten
up in the same interesting fashion. We
see from their catalogue that they are
issuing a new seriss of Eclectic Read
ers intended for supplementary read
ing, Of which we have copies of "Short
Stories of our Shy NeighbOrs," in
which every thing pertaining to bees,
spiders, butterfys, etc. is taught in
the form of a story. 'sPlants and
Their Children by Mrs. Dana, is the
finest primary botany we have ever
seen. While these books are invalu-
able as supplementary reading in the
schools, they make splendid founda-
tion for the child's library. If parents
could realize how much could be done
during the plastic years of childhood
to instruct children under the guise of
amusement, they would certainly pro-
| vide their children with these excellent
books.

Jerry was getting used to life in the
army and he could not hear his poor
OLD mother at all when she asked him
to go home with her. Mrs. O'Leary
didn't hesitate. She went to a lawyer.
The lawyer found that by the act of
1872 minors could not be recruited ex-
cept with the consent of parents or
guardians. She Gentended that Jerry
was a minor and she had not consented
to his going into the army Prompt &C
ton was necessary in the case as the
recruiting sergeant was minded to send
Jerry to headquarters at once. Attorney
Williams went to Judge Amidon, Of the
United States court, and made applica-
ton for writ of habeas corpus. The
Judge issued writ directed to Serg cant
Armendenger, the commanding officer
of the Third, Maj. Wilkinson, not being
in town. The writ was made returnable
at o'clock yesterday afternoon.
The sergeant brought his recruit into
court Never was there culprit in court
on habeas corpus proceedings who was
so stoutly opposed to his own liberation
as Private O'Leary Assistant United
States District Attorney O'ReilIy ap-
peared for the government but he had
no case whatever. The intimat on that
the young man might be prosecuted for
perjury for swearing falsely to his age
had no effect on the obdurate mother
and there was nothing for the court to
do but order the discharge of the re-
cruit.
The recruit went back to st. Peter,
but he vowed that he would yet break
into the army if he had to run away
and go right to the front in order to
get himself enlisted.

to BE Decided Today.
George F. Woolsey, of this city, who was an
officer of the supreme court, United Order of
FoTesters, and attended the recent session in
Milwaukee, returned to St. Paul yesterday.
Since the convention Mr. Woolsey has been
In Chicago.
:. At the session the Minnesota and Wisconsin
Jurisdictions were denied representation on a
technicalty. The claim was made, according
to Mr.. Woolsey, that the Minnesota jurisdic-
ton was Indebted to the supreme court. The
Indebtedness was for supplies furnished the
high court by the supreme court. All sup
plies were sent to the high courts to supply
local courts and a commission allowed On
what was Sold The supreme court, however,
always retains the ownership of the supplies
and the high courts have no interest except
in the commissions earned.
The Minnesota high court for this reason
mad an interest In the commissions, and If the
preme court the high court Of Minnesota
would not be dollar in arrears.
Mr.. Woolsey believes that the trouble will

of the past executive officers and their right
to vote will be tested before one Of the judges
of the supreme court of Wisconsin at MiIwau-
kee tomorrow. Judge Schoonmaker and NJ H.
Ryan will represent the Minnesota and Wis
consn courts, and Messrs. Chaplin and Cum
mings will appear for those enjoined
Mr.. Woolsey stated that there was marked
jealousy on the part of the officials, who de-
sired to perpetuate themselves in Office and
the fear was entertained by these officers that,
owing to the rapid growth of the order in Min
nesota and Wisconsin Jurisdictions, the off,
GERS might be chosen from these Jurisdictions
Judge Schoonmaker will meet representa-
tives of the st. Paul courts at Mr.. Woolsey' 8
office Wednesday evening and make a full ex-
PLANTATION of the situation. The proposition to
advance Judge Shoemaker to the Office of
supreme chief ranger was talked Of but Min
nesota refused to accept any executive Office

ter.
In speaking Of the matter yesterday
Gov. Clough said:
Yes. I shall reorganize the state
guard very soon now But think
at first 1 will only form one regiment
emo then If any of the troops at the
front should come back they would
have their places waiting for them.
However, l do not think many of the
officers or men would want to go back
into the guard after having been en-
gagged in actual warfare, as it would
seem too tame, to them. There are
those who havei all through taken the
greatest interest la the perfection of
the state guard and to all such their
old places will be given Them
