drunk at camp. He was emphatic in
his statements and repeated them in
various forms.
His cross Examination by Mr. Dana

between lawyer and witness, in which
both We're often talking at once and al

The witness adhered to his statements
and repeatedly hurled back at the law

Finally, abandoning this course of
questioning, the lawyer sought to dis

A long argument followed an objec-

another long series of questions.
In spite of Mr.. Danaher's efforts to

once enjoyed the privilege of seeing
an army of mackerel successfully COR
ner a shoal of small fry in rocky
shallow pool which was cul de sac.
The mackerel swan behind their vic
tins in serried ranks, a company of
hungry, determined creatures, intent
upon gorging feast to which there
need be no limit They had followed
the fry for miles maybe, merely swal-
lowing one here and one there to keep
their appetites whetted. Now they had
cornefed them where there was no es-
cape FOR their victims. No alert fisher
man on the lookout for just such an
opportunity was at hand to convert
their triumph and feasting into captivi-
ty and lamentation. They might feast
ut will.
And, We gods, feast they did, No
one who has not seen it would believe
that the cubic capacity of mackerel
could possibly deal successfully with
the number of small fish he actually
swallows. The way he conducts the
operation of feasting is unique. Open
ing his mouth wide, the mackerel darts
in among the small fry. some of which
are perhaps one-third of his own
length. In an instant one of these is
to be seen sticking half in and half out
of his mouth. Then the mackerel gives
one gulp, and the victim has disappear
ed. Without moments delay the
process is repeated and repeated so
many times that the spectator cannot
fail to be concerned for the immediate
future of the particular mackerel he
has watched. Yet nothing happens
AS for the fry, their helpless anguish
is somewhat heartrending. The whole
shoal of them boils and churns the wa
ter in an agony of fear. High into the
air they leap in order to avoid their
voracious enemies, landing themselves
often enough upon the weed covered
rocks which skirt the pool and painting
their lives out there rather than leap
back, into the seething mass of their
harassed companions beneath.-~Long-

"BIue and the GRAY"

Lovers of good music will find in
Paul Dresser's new song, the Blue
and the Gray" a melody that is match
less, story that is thrilling. Dresser's
name is synonymous with songs of the
heart and songs of the home In the
blue and the Gray" this popular
composer has touched upon a theme
that is dear to the hearts of the Ameri-
can nation, telling in its story of
mothers love for three sons, her only
ones, whose lives were given for their
country in the blue and the gray. The
music thrills you and the words inspire
you. Read the chorus:
One lies down near Appomattox,
Many miles away;
Another sleeps at Chickamauga-
And they both wore suits of gray.
Mid the strains of Down in Dixie"

PROTESTED VAINLY
County Board Not Deferred By
Directors.
The City's Counter.Claim Presented by
City Attorney Daley Wednesday
Afternoon.

The county board had rather stormy
time of it at it's session Thursday after
noon, between the advocates and OPP
ponents of various measures before the
board. However, the protesting dele
cations were not successful in any in
stance.
The petition for ditch No. 4, near
Lake Crystal. was granted. The OPP
ponents of this ditch claimed that the
ditch would run up hill into Lake Crys-
tai, whereas the natural drainage course
would be into the Watonwan river. 1t
was a scheme on the part of the Lake
Crystal people to raise the level of the
lake. The length of the ditch to the
river would be the same as to the lake.
The advocates of the ditch denied what
the opponents of it said.
The petition for ditch No 5, in Dan
VILE and Medo, was accepted, and A.
Folsom, of Lincoln, A. J. Ellis of Ster-
ling, and VIM. White, of Shelby, were
appointed viewers and are to meet at

Supt. Lewis brought up the matter of
indorsing t he diplomas of graduates
teaching outside of Minnesota. It was
passed with the statement by President
Ankeny that this could not be done. 1t
was decided that holders of second
grade certificates granted by the state
superintendent be admitted thereon to
the first class in the normal school.
Supt. Lewis moved that the different
schools be given power to hold one or
two sessions day, as they deem best.
The motion was lost.
A resolution was adopted providing
for post. graduate course in normal
schools covering subjects required for
professional state certificates when
twelve or more candidates, already ad-

SUMMER SCHOOL WORK.
Attorney General Will Decide a Knotty
Problem For Normal School Teachers.

The state normal board is in session
at Winona. The normal presidents met
Monday and prepared a recommends
tion of the manner in which normal
teachers shall give required instruction
in summer schools. They recommend
that the salaries of normal teachers be
based on thirty eight weeks teaching
in normal schools, instead of forty
weeks teaching, two of which are to be
spent in summer schools. Normal
teachers appointed to summer school
work, it recommended, shall be paid
therefor by the normal board, in ad-
dition to the regular salaries. and the
schools at Winona. Mankato and st.
Cloud shall furnish to the state eight
weeks of such service, the amount re-
quired under the method now in force.
The report elected considerable dis
cussion today. Supt. Lewis thought
the recommendation preposterous, as it
would only be about $4OO worth of
work for an appropriation of So, 900.
Director Morey said that Supt Lewis
had misinterpreted the law, There
was nothing in the law requiring the
use of the SIS, 900 normal appropriation
for summer school work. Dr. Nils
paugh said the recommendations were
drawn in accordance with the present
rules of the normal board. 1t was de-
sirable to separate the financial ar
rangements of the summer and Normal
schools. This was finally settled by
agreeing to refer the matter to the at
