A LITTLE LADS ANSWER.

Our little lad came In one day
With dusty shoes and tired feet;
His playtime had been hard and long,
Out in the summers noontide heat.
'I'm glad I'm homer he cried and hung
His torn straw hat up In the hall,
While In the corner by the door
He put away his bat and ball.
II wonder why" his auntie said,
This little lad always comes here
When there are many other homes
AS nice as this and quite as nearY
He stood o moment deep In thought,
Then, with q lovellght In his eye,
He pointed where his mother sat
And said, "She lives here, that Is why"
With beamlng face the mother heard;
Her mother heart was very glad,
A true, sweet answer he had given,
That thoughtful loving little lad,
And we'll know that hosts OF lads
And just as loving, true and dear;
That they would answer as he did
"'Tis home, for mothers living here"

TEACHERS PAPERS,
Some of the Candidates Have Made
Excellent Showing

The examination of the papers submit
ted by the candidates for state teachers
certificates will be completed within a
few days. There are some fine papers in
the collection, and some very poor ones
but, On the whole the showing is good
The number of papers rejected varies
from 10 to ~ per cent between the various
counties.
The questions are based largely upon
the work of the state summer schools.
They were prepared after q conference
held by committee composed of State
superintendent Lewis, Former Assistant
superintendent Hyde, Inspectors Alton
and Rankin and Prof. West, of the state
university.
The granting of certificates upon five
years experience and without eXamina-
ton has been one Of the most veAed
problems which has confronted the SUPER
intendent. He has finally decided not to
issue any first grade certificates, except
upon examination, the reason being that
districts employing first grade teachers
may draw from the state treasury a
bonus Of $l5, or an average of SO per
capita for the pupils In charge of such
teacher The state should, therefore,
know the scholastic qualifications of the
holder of the first grade certificate, and
this knowledge cannot be obtained. ex-
grade certificates were issued by county
superintendent, each of whom had his
own standard Of requirements, thereby
bringing about a lack of uniformity in
the qualifications of teachers holding
these certificates
The superintendent states that the re-
fusal of certificate. on account of fail
ure 10 pass this examine ton, does not
par the candidate from teaching in this
state during the coming year. The ex-
animation applied only to candidates for
first md second grade certificates. The
county superintendent may issue q third
grade certificate to one " no has failed to
get first or second grade.
The county superintendent may also
grant first and second grade certificate
TO a candidate who was unable to be
present at the state examination. but the
certificate is good only until the next
state examination.

TO PROTECT BODIES
MIR. LANGFoRD, OF THE BOARD OF
CONTROL, RAISES A
POINT
AFRAID OF GRAVE ROBBERY

Does Not Oppose Giving Cadavers to
Medical Colleges, but Holds That
the Board Must Be the Judges of
the RequisAtiOn, and Not the I'm
dertaker-Mr. Donnelly Cites the
Low Price for Pauper BuriaIs.
N. P. Langford, who July 1 was ap
pointed member Of the board Of con-
troll, has raised the point that in the fu-
ture the bodies of all persons buried at
the expense Of the county shall be in
TERED in the county cemetery at the
aims house, and that if the interment
is not made there the county shall not
bear the expense.
Mr.. Langford says that the board of
control should insist on this rule being
followed in order that the bodies may be
protected. The medical colleges, he
claims, should be furnished subjects, but
there was a law declaring that the con-
sent of relatives should be obtained first,
and he intended to see that this law was
obeyed. He states that he does not OPP
pose the giving of proper bodies to the
medical colleges, but holds that the board
of control must be the judge Of the requi-
sition, and not the undertaken who had
the contract for burying the persons at
| the expense of the county.
j. G. Donnelly, of the firm of Mccarthy
& Donnelly, which firm has the contract
! for burying the county poor, said that
there was nothing to the contention ad-
vanced by Mr.. Langford. The figures
paid for burying the poor, under the pres
! ent contract, was S1.20 for children under
| 10 years Of age, and $3.50 for adults. This
| included the coffin, the digging of the
| grave and the carrying of the remains to
the cemetery. The plan Of letting the
burial Of the poor to the lowest bidder,
| Mr.. Donnelly said, was all wrong, and he
| had frequently expressed his views to the
board of control. The board, he said,
should not let the contract, but fix a rea-
! sonable price and then, when 1t had de-
| cided that the county should pay for the
burial of a person or child, ask the Ie!a-
! tive or friends to say which undertaking
! firm should be given the burial. Accord
! ing to Mr.. DOnnelly, after the board had
| issued the order for burial it was all it
had to do, or should have to do, about
! the matter. Many persons objected to
| friends or relatives being buried in the
county burying ground, and if, in such
! cases, a grave was offered in ANY Of the
| cemeteries there should De no objection
! by the board of control TO allowing the
interment to be made outside the aims
| house cemetery.
The contract for burying the pauper
I dead will be let Sept 1, and the question
| will be given careful con-. deration ly the
| board of control at that time. 1t is posi-
! bic that the plan suggested by Mr.. Don
nelly and indorsed by the other under
takers of the city will be adopted, instead
| of the plan now pursued

PRIvATIONs OF 1NvAL1Ds.
Sick Soldiers of the Thirteenth Suf-
fer at San Francisco.

Touching accounts of the hardships
they were obliged to endure at San
Francisco are. told by some of the Min
neapoHs volunteers serving In the Thir-
teenth Minnesota, who were invaded
home It has, under the circumstances
been found necessary to apologize for
the army hospital authorities at San
Francisco, who appear to have subjected
the enlisted men to privations.
Corporal D. H. Allen, Company F, dis
charged last June said yesterday when
ne reached this city that there was more
than modicum of truth in the stories
in circulation regarding the food of the
sick on board of the transports and the
lack Of attention. When he arrived in
San Francisco the vessel did not dis
charge her living freight until the aft
ernoon, though she had mode the port
in the morning. The men had nothing
TO eat but spoiled crackers. When the
dtsembarkment was accomplished the
soldiers were kept waiting in a cold, raw
wind off the Preside beach, while the
hospital corps leisurely performed it's du-
ties. Allen says, however that he acuuits

gence in looking after the sick He con-
cludes that the invalids were as we'll
handred as the circumstances would ped
nit

STRUCK BY A CAR.
Hagstrum Thrown Fifteen Feet
Against q Post.

While standing at Fifth and Robert
streets shortly after o'clock last even
ing, A. Hagstrum, a tailor, living at
lO4 East Fourth street, was struck by a
Wildwood car that jumped the track
and thrown fifteen feet, bringing up
with force against an iron post Mr..
Hagstrum was considerably bruised and
his right leg was sprained. He was
able, however, to proceed home without
assistance.
The accident was due to the working
of the switch at Fifth and Robert street
The front trucks of the car passed over
the switch and ran straight ahead down
Fifth street, but when the rear trucks
struck the switch the hind wheels swerv-
ed around on the track reading down
Robert street, and thus one end of the
car seemed bound for West St Paul
while the other end was headed for
White Bear lake. As the hind trucks
swung around the vestibule of the car
projected several feet over the edge of
the sidewalk and struck Mr.. Hagstrum
like a big sweep.
The car was not damaged, but the ac-
cident delayed traffic for a short time

ance each year was carried over to the
Following year and they had been mis-

Gil as to Just what sum under this figure
should be placed in the tax estimate.
For the past two years $780, 900 had been
