will not be void of interest by any means.
Many important measures will be pre-
sented and an entire new apportion-
ment of the state made. The game law
will be amended the banking law, and
the revenue and taxation laws will each
receive attention; prohibition. divorce,
office tenure and election laws will be
subjects of much strife and the appro
priation bills will be discussed with un-
iversal interest at this session owing to
the condition of the states finances. AS

Valley. City Normal.

Valley City, N. D., Dec. 22:-The work
of the fall term at the State Normal
School at Valley City, closed last night
with the graduating exercises held for
Miss Gail H. Waid, of Bismarck. The
evenings program consisted of a paper
by Miss Waid who took as the theme for
her thesis, Literature in the Grades"
an address by Prof. A. P. Hollis, super
visor of the practice department. several
musical selections by the students. and
the presentation of the diploma by Col.
Amasa P. Peake.
Prof. Seth Harvey, Of the department
Of mathematics has been receiving many
compliments from the leading educators
of the country on his article, Some His
torical Points on Arithmetic and their
Bearing on its Teaching, which appeared
in recent number of Education. Re-
prints of this article have been made
and will be sent to all teachers who de-
sire copy.
The enrolment in the Normal school
much exceeds all expectations, the num-
Der in attendance at the close of the
term being only eleven less than at the
same time last year. The present indi-
cations are that the attendance during
the remainder of the year will be as great
as that of the past year. In the matter
of attendance rather peculiar coinci-
dence has been noted in the enrolment
of the two State Normal schools. Dur
ing the winter term of last year and the
fall term just ended the number enrolled
was the same in the two institutions.
The announcement of the appointment
Of A. L. Woods as Deputy Superinten-
dent of Public Instruction gives great
satisfaction to all connected with the
Normal school.
Nearly all of the teachers of the Val
ley City public school and of the Normal
will attend the N. D. e. A. meeting in
Fargo on the 9th and 23th Of this
month.
Prof. Hollis and Miss Amidon are ar
ranging for musical entertainment to
be given the latter part Of January for
the benefit of athletics and physical cul.
ture in this institution.
The course Of study is now so arrang-
ed that upon graduating from the Nor
| NAL schools the student may enter the
second year class in the university. In
this way the student who contemplates
university course loses no time by
| attending norma al school and has this
advantage over the high school gradu-
ates in that he can secure and is pre-.
pared to fill lucrative positions in the
public schools should he be placed in a
! position where it became necessary for
him to work his way through college.

is evident from the fact that stock eat
ing it are never satisfied but always
want more. We have seen horses turn
ed to a stack of fax straw early in the
morning, eat all day, and when put into
the barn at night empty their managers
of. all the fax straw they would hold.
Flax straw contains more or less of the
flax seed. This, of course, adds to its
value as food, and when present in
considerable quantity has tendency to
make the coat sleek and shiny. Care
should be taken SO that the stock, es-
pecially cattle, do not get too much of
of the seed.
The past season, owing to the drouth
in the earlies part of the season and
then an abundance of moisture in the
latter part, great deal of the fax did
not mature. consequently was cut green.
This is relished very much by the stock.
But when fed exclusively as a coarse
feed has in many Instances within our
practice caused the death of horses. On
some farms where horses were continual
ly getting sick, as we believed due to
the flax straw, we recommended that
wheat, oat, barley straw or hay be fed
at night instead of the fax straw. Where
this was done no more animals became
sick.
The symptoms of what we call fax
straw (disease) or collie vary from those
of any other form of collie with which
we are familiar. The first symptom u.s.
ually noticed is the animal standing
alone (when turned out) occasionally lies
down may or may not roll at first After
time there seems to be severe pains.
The horse cramps and cringes, drops
very suddenly, tries to pass water at
short intervals. The urine is passed in
small quantity, thick yellowish and con-
tains good deal of sediment. These
series of symptoms disappear altogether
for time, then return after variable
period, from say fifteen of twenty minu-
ter to half day. During the intervals
between pains the horse often eats as
though perfectly we'll.
The respiration is somewhat hurried,
pulse 40 to SIS, never over GO, beats per
minute, until the last stages or a short
time preceding death, at all times weak,
often almost perceptible, in volume.
1t is not hard or wirey like the pulse of
collie. The bowels act natural in the
earlier stages but towards the last may
become costive or the opposite. The
disease usually fingers for from three
days to week before death takes place.
If the animal has proper attention it
will recover. We treat by giving a good
dose of raw linseed oil, from one and
| one-half quarts to two and one half
| quarts according to the eize of the ami
NAL; to this we add tablespoonful of
ginger. If pain is severe give fluid ex
tract Of belladonna in two drachm doses
every thirty minutes until pain partially
subsidies. Take all food away from the
horse until he fully RECEIVERS, give plenty
Of fresh water with the chill taken of
by pouring into it boiling water.
We advise not to blanket the ANNA
unless the barn is very cold or an atten
dant can be with the animal all the time
to SEQ that he does not get the blanke
off. We have observed instances in this
cold climate whore horses when sicl
have sweat under the blanket and hav,
caught cold by taking the blanket off.

At the last meeting of the Board of

aspects of the matter. Should it be

A CONFIDENT SMALL. BOY.
He Knew Grandma Would Come, and
the Ship Had to Wait.

The steamship Werra of the North
German line was ready TO sail from her
pier at New York. The parting tears
had been shed, the parting embraces and
handclasps were over, and the men at the
gangplank, rope in hand, stood impa
tiently waiting to hoist it clear of the
ship. But the gangplank remained I'M

cause 4 6-year-old boy would have it so.
lie had bolted for the pier when the
warning whistle sounded for visitors to
90 ashore and obstinately refused to get
on board till he and his grandmother
were reunited. She had gone up town."
he said, to buy him hat to replace one
that had been blown overheard, and till
she returned 90 on board the Vera he
would not.
Minutes were passing into the half hour
and the captain, becoming impatient,
gave orders that the baggage of the boy
and his grandmother should be put
ashore. 1t was found, however, that they
were first class" passengers and that
their baggage was extensive, and as un-
desirable complications might follow if it
were unceremoniously dumped upon the
pier and the boy left behind the order
was recalled and new advances were
made to the affectionately obstinate
youngster.
Pleadings and commands were alike
lost upon him, however. No, his grand
mother had not deserted him. She would
come back He knew she would, and till
he saw her the Werra was not for him.
So the Vera waited. The captain,
from the quarter deck, viewed the lad
with grim perpleXity. The passengers,
who crowded the rail, eagerly and in
tensely interested in the outcome, smiled
upon him with sympathetic approval,
and the crew grinned at the humor of
situation in which their autocratic COM
mandcr was powerless before the loving
determination of a small boy.
Meanwhile the grandmother had re-
turned and had entered the vessel unseen
by the boy and unrecognized by the 9th
ers. She missed him. and in her eager
search approached the gangplank and
gazcd toward the pier. The two saw
each other instantly, and the grandmoth-
err ignorant of the boys reasons for leav-
ing the vessel and fearing she knew not
what. knelt and extended her arms to-
ward him in dumb entrcaty that was
needless, for joyously eXultant, "Oh,
grandma, | knew you'd come" was fol
lowed by swift rush of eager feet along
the gangplank, and the yearning arms
were happily filled. a tremendous cheer
rang from decks and pier, and the Vera,
released. went ON her way. = Youths

at was but a moment before | was
dashing on toward the hill on which the
chateau stood. The peasants roundabout
were tlocking to the place, but they did
not seem to know what TO do. In two
minutes l had them bringing water from
the river.
1T did not seem to me that the fire had
done much as yet, and ! saw that the
wing of the house where l knew Laura's
room TO be was the farthest from the
flames.
stanton was running about, entirely
bereft of his senses, as happens to some
people Mt such times. He came up TO
me, crying:
"Laura, Laura She's in the studio.
She went there before going to her room"
Il did not wait to hear any more, even
though hardly believed what he said.
The studio, where | had painted the
portrait and where were many pictures
Stanton had collected, was in that por-
ton OF the chateau that was burning.
How | ever made my way there l
know not. To look back upon the deed it
seems an impossible thing TO have done.
But | reached the heavy oaken door-the
door which had thus far been a shield
from the worst of the flames. | burst It
open.
Laura was upon her knees on the
floor. Half dead with the heat and the
smoke, she stretched out her arms and
cried out to me to go back-to save my
self

with my precious burden.
"No one noticed us as | bore her to the
lawn. | did not see her father. Every
body was busy. ! put Laura down on the
ground and knelt by her. She was insen-
sible at first, but in a few moments she
opened her eyes. l called her all the
names a passionate love could suggest.
did that intensity of love recall her
wandering spirit?
"Her beautiful face was not blackened.
Unconsciously ! had shielded her from
that even.
'She looked at me- Her eyes poured
undying love into mine. Feebly. for the
first and last time, she called me her hus-
band. Then she died. The intensity of
the heat. some breathing of the flame
had killed her. Yes, she died" repeated
Curzon, with a terrible emphasis and
terrible glance.
what do you think l cared for life
after that? Soon the fire was conquered
You see what part of the chateau was
saved. This was her room. Here have
lived for years, and here l intend to die.
The sooner the better. l had a fortune
left me. Lucky, wasn't it?" And he
