The Professional Teacher.

s.E The ne st. Cloud Journal Press of last
Friday Friday and Saturday contained full
ana 'll complete report of the meeting of
the Northern Minnesota Educational
association in that city. Its report
contained half tone cuts of Prof. White
and w. S. Foster. It also published
the latter's address on incentives
That hat Will Tend to Hold Teachers in
the Profession" The address by Mr..
roster was one of the best delivered at
the meeting. Mr.. Foster said in part:
1.-The present age is generally recog-
nlzed as a commercial one; art, liter
allure, music, philosophic thought, all
the finer things of life are allowed to
suffer general neglect in the race for
the almighty dollar; if there is never
to be reaction from this tendency, if
the symphonies of Beethoven are to be
neglected or forgotten because the
public taste inclines exclusively toward
the acquiring or displaying of wealth;
II Shakespeare and his brethren are to
be relegated to the shelves of profess
slonal literary critics; if men and
women of education are to lose their
interest in the philosophy of Emerson
or the poetry of Shelley; if we are to
become a race devoid of sentiment and
spiritual aspiration, the present situa-
ton is indeed filed with tragic import.
The time is at hand when we may we'll
question as to whether the pendulum
has not already swung too far, and to
give our hearty support to any move
ment that may tend toward a higher
standard of life and thought. Many of
us know from personal experience that
the business life is destructive of inter-
est in the things that make life fine and
beautiful. 1t is to our professional
teachers that we must look for leader
ship in this department of life, whether
in village or city; from them we expect
whatever of culture and learning our
community may possess; the standard
OF intellectual attainment for teachers
is rising rather than falling; it is GER
tainly folly to suppose that we can con-
sistently expect men of scholarship,
ability, high ideas, and energy to fill
positions poorly paid, uncertain of du-
ration, hampered by interference from
without, subjected to annoyance of
every petty and spiteful sort, and with
out guaranty of either opportunity to
continue in it, or any provision for
their declining years. 1t is an insult
to these men to offer them so paltry
reward for years of devotion to this ex-
acting work, and until the public sense
OF justice awakens to this fact, there
can be no improvement on present con-
ditions, but there are many indications,
especially on our eastern horizon, that
better day is at hand, when compe-
tent and earnest men need not remain
in the business so much in need of
them, at a practical disadvantage to
themselves. Many of our larger towns
have already solved the problem, and
the smaller communities are following
in their steps,"

Hypnotism and Telepathy.

Prof. Newman, the mind reader and
hypnotist, who was in Princeton last
week, is thorough student of psychol-
ogy and pshchic phenomena and takes
a deep interest in the study of mental
science. Though less than twenty-one
years of age he already possesses much
more knowledge of mental science and
its various phenomena than many of
his elders. He began the study of his
profession when he was thirteen years
OF age and though he has been a close
student he claims to know very little of
the peculiar powers of the mind as dem
onstrated in hpynotism and telepathy.
Most all persons possess hypnotic
powers in a greater or less degree"
said Prof. Newman. "They use this
peculiar mental faculty unconsciously.
When we say of a man He is a good
judge of human nature we but pay a
compliment to his hypnotic powers.
Those who possess personal magnetism
have the powers of hypnotism. There
are many so-called schools of hypnot-
ism in the country but there are only
three reputable schools in the United
States. Of telepathy we know very
little. There are no reliable works on
the subject as no one has as yet been
able to gain sufficient knowledge of the
subject to write satisfactory book on
l.

Little Falls High School Nine.

The Little Falls high school base
ball team has already arranged series
of eight games during April and May.
The first game will be at Little Falls

The Little Falls Transcript says:
''There are fifteen applications for po-

commence at once. Henry Lang has
been elected captain of the team and
the season will be under the manage
ment of B. Y. McNairy Jr., assisted by

ShOcking!

An Oklahoma paper prints this story:
She was from Boston, he from Okla
homa. "You have travelled a good
deal in the west, have you not, Miss
Beacon?' "Oh, yes, indeed-in Cali
fornia and Arizona, and even in New
Mexico" "Did you ever see the
Cherokee Strip?' There was pain
full silence, but finally she looked over
her glasses at him and said: SIN the
first place, sir, I deem your question
exceedingly rude; and, in the second,
you might have been more refined in
your language by asking me if had
ever seen the Cherokee disrobe.''

Short and Devilish.

Rev. A. K. Bell, one of the patriarchs
of the Baptist denomination and a.
leader of the earlier generation of it's
clergymen. believed that charity was
only half done unless smile or a jest
went with it. He was a great worker
among the poor, and upon one occasion
at public gathering was unexpectedly
called upon to speak on 1.-THE Poor in
Large Cities.''
DR.. Bell arose solemnly and began:
ladies and gentlemen, there are
three kinds of poor. There are the
Lords poor, the DEVILS poor and the
poor devils. This will conclude my ad-
dress.'' And the old clergyman sat
down without another word.-New

No Demand for Third judge.

The indications now are that the bill
providing for third judge for this dis
trict will not become a law. This is
right and proper, as there is no real de-
mand for this additional expense.
Neither Judge Searle nor Judge Bax-
ter claim that the business is greater
than they can handle properly and the
only cause for the attempt to saddle
this additional expense upon this dis
trict is the desire to make a place for
some lawyer who is ambitious to be-
come judge.-Long Prairie Argus.

Easter Bonnets and Song Birds.

Prof. Dallas L. Sharp of Boston Uni
versity, as preacher at the First Metho-
dist church, Boston, said:
''No woman who wears sea gull or
a song bird in her hat can ever get to
heaven. If you need an Easter bonnet
get it. Wear it to church, for what
better place to wear it than to church?
1T is an honor to God and a benedic-
ton to the soul to have and see Easter
bonnets. Get the bonnets, however,
without robbing and killing. Those
who rob the lives of the song
bird and the bird of beautiful plumage
cannot hope for heaven.' -: -

 He was past all speech now as he lay on his pillow, his head thrown back, with his mouth wide open, drinking air. The girl dropped his hand, rose and stood over him, her hands stretched out to him. Only the arm of the old clergyman kept her from fall ing across the bed. It seemed to her afterward that she heard his voice coming from far away, murmuring broken words of consolation and prayer. But then, she was only con scious of the deathly figure writhing before her. Over her head and about her the guns were shrieking now. The rattle of the grapeshot, the screaming of the shell, the crashing roar of can non filled the morning with hideous sound. But above all the noise in some strange way her faculties were so attuned that she caught and heard that faint, desperate struggle for breath on the narrow bed before her. For five minutes, perhaps, it continued, growing fainter and fainter, and then it just stopped. Thank God!
 In spite of the clamor outside, the room seemed strangely silent. She could hear her heart beat, or was it about to stop too?

 Oh, Peyton, Peyton, what power had you over this woman's heart that even at this moment she could think of you? She dropped upon her knees by the bed and seized the lifeless hand of her brother and laid her forehead upon it, murmuring again and again, as If she could not get away from the idea, "War, war!"

The casemate was in the cur tain which was protected by the wa ter battery and was probably the saf- est place in the fort. For that reason they had turned 1t into hospital. The men who entered it bore on a rude stretcher a frightfully injured soldier, who had been terribly torn by an exploding shell.

CHAPTER xxxv.

IN THE CAsEMATE OF TORT MORGAN.
 NI AIRY AMMAN had refused to
 M leave her brothers side to E5sSggN take any rest, and old Dr. eeissD Bampney had faithfully kept her company. Together the two watched through the long night. The boy slept heavily at first, but as the eff fects of the opiate wore away the per sistent pain made him restless. Toward morning he drifted into consciousness again, as he had drifted into sleep the night before. The sleep had given him no strength. He was visibly weaker than he had been and the agonies he suffered were terrible, not only to bear, but to witness
 AS Mary Annan had hung over the cot where the boy writhing in agony, bit his lips and clinched his hands and strove, for her sake and because he would fain show himself q man and was proud of his endurance, to stifle his groans, such a feeling came over her at her utter impotent helplessness as made all that she had gone through before seem a trifle.
 Well, 1t would soon be over. It was morning, and Beverly was no better, only he was nearing the end. There was something in that. The surgeon had come and gone with despairing shake of his head, the general had stopped over him once more and had left him with tears in his eyes. He was an old soldier, he had seen many people die; few had affected him as did this lad Little groups of his com rades had come in, tiptoed over to the bed, gazed silently and sympathetically on him and had gone out again without word. Sometimes he recognized them, sometimes he did not.
 His suffering was so keen that all his physical faculties were drawn up into it, and 1t was only in brief inter- mittent periods of comparative respite that he took cognizance of things about him. Sometimes he muttered incoher- ently, but generally what he said was sufficiently intelligible. By and by the pale grayness of the dawn rose-colored the east. The light of the rising sun presently leaped through the open door, flooding the casemate. Dr. Bampney rose and put out the lamp. After awhile beam fell across the bed wherenn the, bnY lax 1t was proaA

 There was a sudden fierce rattle of drums outside, the shrilling of a trum- pet.
