Later President Hart called on Johnson

better date for the meeting. This date

Patience is the one thing necessary

particularly that virtue is essential in

Star theater, when asked last evening
to explain his methods of instruction.
'Ycu see," said Prof. Coleman, you
cannot whip a cat when she does
wrong, or punish her in any way, for
she would become afraid of you and
entirely unmanageable. You must lust
simply be patient with her and try and
try again until she finally understands
what you want her to do and becomes
accustomed to doing it. Even then she
is not at all times reliable and will
fail at the most unexpected times.
AT best cat has but little inteIli-
gence, and but little capacity for re-
tention of what is taught her; in other
words, she does not hold what she
knows and you cannot depend upon
her with any certainty.

RELIGIOUS DISORDERS
REVIVED IN FRANCE
Police Commissary Resisted in Closing
Nuns School.

PARIS, Feb. 19.-There was a revival
today of the religious disturbances
which characterized the closing of the
congrega tionalist schools in Brittany

opened their school at the village of
Ste Meenen near Lesneven, which was
the scene of the bitterest troubles
against the school closing last year. a
police commissary accompanied by
gendarmes proceeded to the village to
serve the order to close the school.
When he arrived the church bell sound
ed the tocsin and 500 peasants gather
ed in front of the school shouting
Death to the comrnissary!" Down
with Combes' and Murray for the sis
ters!"
Showers of stones greeted the COM
missary and the gendarmes, who, how
ever, forced their way through the
crowd and into the school. The COM
mlssary read the order to the lady SUI
perlor, who promised to close within a
week.

State Institutions

resentative Underwood, of McLeans-
boro, introduced :. a bill today in
the state legislature to prohibit the
game Of football in the state univer-
sity and other institutions Of learning
supported wholly or in part by the
state.
The prohibition is made absolute by
the bill, and any breach of it is to be
characterized as a misdemeanor the
maximum penalty being a fine of S1O0.
Not only are the students forbidden to
play the college game, but presidents
and faculties are forbidden to permit
1t.
Mr.. Underwood says he is in earnest
and will push the bill to a hearing. He
is not from Missouri, but was prompt
ed to the action by the accident to
Fairweather, of the University of IIli-
nois team, who lives in his town, and
by the injuries of the boys of the Nc
Leansboro high school team, which
won the championship of Southern IL
linoiS last fall
The bill makes it unlawful for any
person to engage in the game or for
any person in charge, wholly or in part,
of any of the states institutions, uni
versities, normal schools, reform
schools, or others, supported in whole
or in part by the state, to permit, en-
courage, or allow pupils, students. or
inmates of such institutions to engage
in the game. Any person violating
the provisions of the act shall be Deem
ed guilty of a misdemeanor and liable
to fine of from $40 to $10O.

me but little trouble in comparison
with the cats.
Il find that for trick work it is nee
essary to begin training a dog before
he is a year old. After that he is not
susceptible to teaching and does not so
well retain what he learns. My favor
tie is the collie that slips the collar
over his head. Perhaps that is be-
cause he was the first I had; but
think the collies are intelligent as a
breed. l began my work with that one
collie and have gradually added other
animals, until my troupe reached its
present number.
Il have picked up the animals in all
parts of the world and by rehearSing
them mornings have gradually worked
them into the act. I think now l have
about enough animals, but would still
be willing to add a handsome dog or
cat.
81 have been in this country only
about a year, and brought all of my
dogs from Europe with me, except the
Great Dane policeman. I got him in
Philadelphia. The collies I got in diff
ferent parts of England and Scotland,
and the other dogs and the cats from
all over Europe.
Each dog has his own name and
knows it, but 1 call all of the cats
Mimi, for they would not remember
or respond to individual names. 1t
would be very hard to describe my
method in detail, for each individual
animal has a different degree of in
telligence and requires a different
course of training. The principal re-
quirement is to make the animal I'm.

I believe in the one and only God. We
may need a form in order to teach His
existence, especially for our children. This

present version of this will be possibly

Neither does 1t matter that much of the
