The old schoolmaster was deeply at
fected. His scholars. noticing the di-
lapidated appearance of his chair. had
presented him with a new one on his
birthday.
"My deal boys" said the kindly old
pedagogue, with tears in his eyes, Il
can never hope to tell you how much
you have made me feel by this token of
your love for me. All l can do is to
thank you for the sacrifices you have
made of your little purses for the sake
of my comfort. If you have found me
severe at times, l trust you realize that
it has always been for yonr own good.
I hope to always have your full conf
dence, as you have ever had mine"
AS the old schoolmaster prepared to
sit down in his new chair he uncon-
sciously ran his hand owe the seat in

London Police Methods.

This is the modus operandi of Lon
don's police: Two citizens engage in a
street fight; crowd gathers to see the
mill; four 'bobbies' appear, working
their way through the press with a by

with no rough hands and arguing thus
in Gliding tones: Aren't We 'shamed
O. ye'self? What's the good o fightin'?
Leave scraps to dogs. Now, run along
an behave ye'self. There's a good
chap" These words are accompanied
by a pat on the shoulder and a gentle
shove away from the scene of conflict.
Rarely is there an arrest. A brutal
clubbing is unknown. The London po-
lice are peacemakers.-Ne York Press.

euasuf court Records.

Among the treasures of the Philadel-
phia Historical society is the complete
record of the Court Held at Uppland
in DelOwar River From 1876 to 16S1.'
This was the court conducted by the
Swedes, Dutch and English previous to
the granting of the state to Penn and
previous to it's being named Pennsylva-
mia. The record is quaint. One entry is
of Jan Cornellisen of Amesland, COM
playning to We court that his son Erik
is bereft Of his NATURAL sences and is
turned quyt madd;" %whereupon it was
ordered that three or 4 persons bee
hired to build a little Blockhouse at
Amesland for to put in the sd. mad
nam In the suit of Andres Inckhoor-
en- against Constable Andres HOmman
it appears from the record that:
THE Pit. complains that this Deft.
hath pulled him by the Beard and
twisted his neck. and desires to know

an action for SANDER against Hans Pc

Moslem

All true Moslems when eating must
begin with salt and finish with vine
gar. If they begin with salt, they will
escape the contagion of seventy dis
eases. If they finish with vinegar.
their worldly prosperity will continue
to increase. The host is in etiquette
bound to be the first to start eating
and the last to leave off. Tooth pick
ing is considered an act of grace in
the true Moslem, for the angel Gabriel
is reported to have brought a tooth
pick from heaven for the prophet after
every meal. The priests recite certain
passages of the Koran before and after
lunch and dinner, and also before
drinking water at any hour Of the day.

DENNIS SULLIVAN
TO Play with the Minneapolis
League Nine Next Season.

Dennis Sullivan, one of our
Milbank boys who has developed
into an expert ball player, left
last Monday for Brookings,
where he goes to attend the
agricultural college until the
opening of the ball season. He
has recently been signed in the
Minneapolis team as outtielder,
and next season will play with
the Millers. Dennis is an ex-
emplary young man and his
friends here will wish him every
success in his work on the dia-
mond next year. Last Fridays
Minneapolis Times in speaking
of him as the new
center fielder presented his
photo-engraving and spoke of his
work as a ball player as follows:
Dennis Sullivan, one of the out
fielders signed by Manager Wilmot
for the coming season, played the
greater portion of last year with Win
nipeg in the Northern league. His re-
cord with that league was a splendid
one. He was second in batting with
an average of 33l, and his fielding
average was 923.
At the close of the season in that
league Sullivan joined the Mime
apolis club, and was assigned to center
field, a position which he held till the
end of the season. "Sully" did some
clever work in the field and on the
bases, winning many admirers not
only in Minneapolis, but in other
towns on the circuit.
Manager Tom Lotus of the Wash
ington club was watching a game be-
tween the Millers and Brewers at Mil
waukee last'season, and, his attention
being called to Sullivan, Lotus re-
marked that he was a natural-born
ball player and that if he continued
the pace he would soon and in the big
leagues. Sullivan, while of a quiet
disposition, is somewhat of a whirl-
wind on the coach lines, having a
''buzz-saw" voice that sends shivers
up the backs of opposing pitchers.

which Dennis Sullivan was
teaching and will fill out the
term.
F.. w. Emerson, of Topeka,
Kas., national organizer of the
prohibition party, will deliver a
temperance lecture at the NJ. E..
church on Tuesday evening, Feb
ruary 3, at 7:3O p. m. Mr.. Elmer
son was the prohibition candidate
for governor of Kansas last year.
The lecture will be free.
The friends and neighbors Of
j. w. Johnson, the stockman,
perpetrated a surprise upon him
Tuesday evening, by coming IN
upon him in a body at that time.
The occasion of the visit was
Mr.. Johnson's birthday which
he had intended to observe in a
quiet way with his family, but
which the Philistines turned
into a riot. However, the
visitors reported a good time,
and that was what they congre-
gated for.
Frank Emmerick, the Revillo
saloon keeper was arrested on
a criminal complaint of Mrs.
Lizzie Russell charging him with
selling liquor to a minor. The
defendant was brought before
Justice Pasco, waived examin-
alton and gave bonds of $3.50 for
appearance at the district court.
The parties in the case are the
same as those in the civil suit
tried in the circuit court here
last fall when the complaining
witness secured a verdict of
some $1,000 damages against
Emmerick aud his bondsmen
for illegal liquor selling.

Rousseau.

Rousseau was a type of the melan-
cholic temperament, assuming some
times the symptoms Of a veritable pa
thetic insanity. He sought to realize
his phantoms in the least susceptible
circumstances. He saw everywhere en-
emies and conspirators, frequent in the
first stages of insanity. Once, coming
to his sailing vessel in England, he in
terpreted the u~nfavorable winds as a
conspiracy against him. then mounted
an elevation and began to harangue the
people, although they did not under
stand a word he said. In addition to his
fixed ideas and deliriant convictions
Rousseau suffered from attacks Of
acute delirium, a sort of maniacal excl
tation. He died from apoplectic attack.

Few people realize the possibilities OF
ammonia. The preparation known as
common spirits of ammonia is valuable
in many ailments. For example, ten or
twenty drops in a large wineglass Of
water will revive a fainting person. Il
is an excellent stimulant in case OF
nervou depression and headache, as it
restores circulation. Again, a few drops
Of ammonia poured into hard water
make the water soft, and it takes the
dirt off of paint more quickly than
anything else, takes the stains out of
carpets, cleans combs and hairbrushes
and makes gold and silver look as good
as new.

Before Messrs. Kelley and

Monday night, members Of the
board Of education and a few
other citizens, met the Legislators

the matter of securing legisla-
ton that would permit the board
of education to secure funds SUI
ficent to run the school on an
economical basis and yet in keep
ing with the size and character

81 oling. Several bills are now
f.fore the legislature looking to
a more equitable assessment of
property and securing an actual
value basis. Just how far these
bills, if they should become laws,
would reach the desired results
it would be hard to say. The
present limit to a levy of 20
mills would provide sufficient
school revenue if an actual value
basis was established, but when
the assessment is about 20 per
cent of this the school revenue
runs far below what is absolutely
necessary to conduct the schools
in a proper manner. Messrs.
Kelley and Steiner promised to
do what they could to secure
legislation leading to a more
equitable assessment or in the
line of having the present levy
limit raised from 20 to % mills.

Lupercal, where the carnivals were
held. You must certainly remember
Marc Antony's speech, in which he
says to the Roman populace: You all
do know that thrice upon the Lupercal
offered Caesar kingly crown, which
he did thrice refuse 1t was the place
for the multitude in those days.
'The relation of the Lupercal to ST.
Valentines day is very simple. 1t was
the church which set aside the 14th
day of February in memory of the
Saints Valentine; but the custom Of
freaky celebrations existed long be-
fore the church existed. The 14th day
OF February was the day set apart
by the heather of very ancient Rome
for the street acrobatic performances,
the carnivals, tumbling, pantomimes;
sort of Mardi Gras, such as is now
