About Professor Grimm-A
COmicaI World.

John Greenleaf Whittier was born at
Haverhill Mass, Dec. II, 1907. His
parents were Quakers, and he himself
retained the Quaker way of using
''thee" and thou" in conversation, al
though he dropped them in his verses
He lived the ordinary life of a New
England country boy, an idea of which
may be obtained from his charming
poem THE Barefoot Boy" which every
child would do well to commit to mem
DRY. He went to school when there
was school and roved about the woods
when he had time for that, picking Der
ries and watching the birds and squir-
rels and other wild things. When he
grew older, he worked on the farm and
attended the country merrymakings, OF
which huskinS was one of the most de-
lightful. He has given us a poem called
'"The Huskers7 which tells all about
that. His literary career began when
he went to Boston and became a news
paper worker. In Haverhill, Hartford,
Philadelphia and Washington he con-
tinued journalism. Two of his earliest
poems, .'Mogg Megone" and 1.-The Bri-
dial of Pennacook," are Indian tales, the
facts of which he obtained from old
colonial records. These served to es-
tablish his reputation as poet. For
many years he was the publisher of
newspaper in Haverhill. He died at
Hampton Falls. N. H., in September,
are Barbara Frietchie," MAUD Null
ler." "Snow Bound" and 1.-THE Tent on
the Beach," with those already men
toned Whittier was a good and an
honest man, and his writings are, most
of them devoted to advancing some re-
form in which he believed.

Lean Cows.

1t is often said that a COW will first
take care of herself before she will
make milk out of her feed She does
not always do it. There are cows that
seem intent on making milk and moth
ing else. They utterly neglect to feed
their systems, and such cows viii be-
come thinner and thinner If we are
watching the individual and observe a
cow like that. we will increase the
ration and keep on increasing it as
long as we can get returns 1t is a lit
tie trouble-but not so much after all
to vary the rations to suit different
cows. The COW that is taking on flesh
should have very, little, if any, fat
forming food Eliminate the cornmeal
or other similar ingredients from her
ration. Feed her wholly or mainly on
heterogeneous foods For the thin COW
increase the fat forming elements.

a STORY Ahout Profe.sor Grimm.

a story About PROFESSOR Grimm.
Here is an amusing anecdote about
Jacob Grimm, one of the two brothers
who wrote the delightful Grimms'
FAIRY Tales"
One day a well dressed child about s
years old called at Professor Grimm s
house and asked to see him. Looking
very earnestly at the puzzled professor
the child asked, "Is it thou who hast
written those fine fairy tales?''
Eyes, my dear" replied the professor
MY brother and myself have written
the tales
"Then thou hast also written the tale
of the little tailor, the one where it
says at the end that whoever will not
believe the tale must pay a dollar?"
Yes | have written that too"
We'll, then, do not believe the
tale" said the little one, land so | sup
pose l have to pay dollar; but have
not so much money now and can only
give thee part on account. | will give
thee cents now and pay the rest
by and by"
The kindly professor smiled and told
his little visitor that because she was
so willing to pay, she need pay moth
ing, afterward explaining that that
was only part of the story. Then he
put on his greatcoat and walked home
with the child, which was a rare
honor

How the "nlppo" Was Recaptured

In the days when Mr.. A. d. Bartlett
was king of the London zoo the hip
popotamus once managed to break out
of its house. 1t employed its freedom
very properly to make a friendly call
upon Mr.. Bartlett. The latter, how
ever, was not quite pleased to see his
huge charge out of bounds and sent
for one of the elephant keepers to
preach peace and sweet reasonable
ness to the creature To this man
the hippo had taken extreme dis
like, and when he shouted to it it turn
ed around and chased him. Away flew
the keeper at the top of his speed to
the "hippo's'' den, the big beast in hot
pursuit. The keeper darted through
the gate and bolted up the stairs to
the platform over the "hippos" tank.
Here he was safe. Meanwhile Mr.
Bartlett, who had seen following the
runaways, had securely closed the
gate, and the hippo was of course
again doomed to anguish in prison

a well known instance of this. Its COO

does not open its bill. The call is
formed internally in the throat and

TIE EXPERTS REPORT
Continued from fifth page.

cent through the instrumentality OF
Gen. Pope, the former president OF the
board.
There is no public institution so
worthy of the united support of the peo-
pIe than the public library. The ap-
preparation of $4,000 is entirely too
small for it's support. The salaries of
librarian. together with the rent of
building, and the supplies necessary to
carry on its work requires the greater
part of the appropriation, leaving a
very small sum for investment in read
ing matter. -.
The law under which the library was
organized admits of general tax on
the taxable property of the city OF not
to exceed one mill, and II this was
placed in the September tax levy at
about three-fourths of one mil, the
revenue derived therefrom would be
sufficient to pay the entire expenses for
the year and give the board reason
able allowance for the purchase OF new
books.
Other cities of this size are very
generous to their libraries, and 1T is not
too late for Mankato to introduce re-
form in this respect.
The amount of the tax levy for library
purposes, or the appropriation made by
the council, whichever is done, should
be turned over to the city treasurer of
the library in order that the fund should
be used for no other purpose, and If SO
done the account would never be
overdrawn without the treasurer's
knowledge.
1 find after everything has been cor
rected up to date that the library has
drawn in the five years of its existence
$4,000, and has contributed by sub
scription and fines $S46,23. The total
disbursements are SO, 1866 leaving on
hand 1905 SO in cash, and an item of
S43. 40, the nature of which will no
doubt be determined in the near future,
it being an error not yet explained.
