complete their happiness they would 60
down to Lake Koshkonong for ride on
an ice boat. They had not gone half
way across when the wind commenced
to blow fierce gale and the ice boat
sped at terrific rate. The beating of
their hearts would indicate fever but
their temperature would contradict that
owing to ice and nerves. To relieve them
the sun went down and also the wind
and left them on the other side Of Lake
Koshkonong to walk back and draw the
ice boat. After laboring under Difficult
ties they succeeded in getting home at
s o'clock in the evening we'll satisfied
that they had had enough of that kind
of sport and that an ice boat is too swift
for them.

PUZZLING FRACTURES
Miss Taylor Doesn't Know When He
Bones Broke.

bones bTOk0s
Am I really broken, anywhere?"
This was the incredulous question put
to a local surgeon last week by Miss
Floyd Taylor of 2016 Portland avenue, an
operator at the Northwestern Telephone
exchange.
But Miss Taylor was broken, although
she didn't know it. She was fractured in
two places, although she did not realize
that she was coming apart.
Because Miss Floyd, dainty blonde, is
she has developed an insensibility to
fractures that amazes local doctors.
Thus she is unable to recall exactly
when her shoulder blade cracked and her
collarbone came apart. She isn't fond
OF violent exercise She doesn't play ping
pong. She had sustained no recent greet
ings from affectionate relatives. Neither
is she engaged.
But several nights before she saw the
surgeon she was reaching up her right
arm to make a connection at the tele-
phone switch board and informed the in
quirer that the line was busy, when she
heard snap. She didn't mind it. "You
see, we all have snaps up here,' explained
one Of the other operators to-day, mind
full of electricity and pleasing occupa-
ton. But that evening, while Miss Tay-
lor was adjusting her stock she discov-
cred a little white bone in place where
I a bone shouldn't be. She moved het
Eright shoulder, r.. "and went all criss:

THEIR OFFICIAL PA
Juvenile Offenders Cared For by
Probation Officer Holt.
REPORT FOR THE LAST QUARTER
Forty-nine Youths Under His Care
Disposition of Various
Cases.

The report of George D. Holt, probation
officer, for the quarter ending July 81,
contains the following items Of public in
terest:
The total number of juvenile offenders un-
der sentence to whom the probation officer
is a sort of ''off1cial father during good
behavior-stay of sentence is forty-nine,
four of whom are from the district court and
forty-ave from the municipal court, four
being girls.
Four sentences out of possible sixty one
have been executed. or the nineteen placed
on probation two were convicted Of unlaw-
full entry of buildings, sixteen of petit lar
ceny and one Of vagrancy. Of these fifteen
were on state training school and four on
workhouse sentences. The average age of
the 1S4 boys arraigned was II 2-1O years and
Of the "a girls Is 1-10 years. Fifteen per
cent Of these were dismissed or acquitted.
The proportion of offenders probationed to
the whole convicted for this quarter is 81 per
cent less than for the corresponding quarter
a year ago. This does not mean that pro-
baton is less popular with the court, but is
accounted for by the difference in the char
acter Of the arrests made. To illustrate,-of
the arrests made for violating ordinances
| (chefy bicycle) the proportion for the two
quarters is 81 is to is, or 1873 per cent
greater and for vagarancy as 40 to %, or Al
per cent greater (Which cases for the most
part result in fines paid and the immediate te
| release of the offenders.)
The average period OF probation has been
| increased from six to eight months.
In addition Mr.. Holt reports six children
sent to the Washburn Orphan asylum, two
to the school for feeble minded at Fari-
| bault, three girls placed in the House OF
the Good Shepherd, five children in the
state public school at Owatonna and
thirty three boys and girls dependent OF

GRAFTON, to suitable agencies for their con-
| tinued supervision.
