MUST PROVE HE'S ALIVE.
Nay Be a Hard Matter, But This
Enqhshman VIII Try.

Enghshman VIII Try.
Ralph Williamson, an Englishman,
until recently an inmate Of the Fer
gus Falls asylum, VIII return 10 Eng
land to attempt to prove to the salts
faction Of the British courts that hei
not dead, says the st. Paul Pioneer
Press. He has strong hopes Of sue
ceeding if he lives long enough. 1t
will be a long and tedious process,
however, and as Williamson is now
nearly 60 years old, he realizes thatit
will be literally a race against death.
If he lives long enough he may prove
that he is still alive, and if he dies be-
fore he establishes the fact he win be
nothing out, for he is now legally
dead. State Agent A. W. Gates has
taken him to New York, whence he
will be deported to his native land.
Williamson left England about a
dozen years ago without telling his
family his destination, and duringall
the years he has been in America he
never communicated with his old
home, until about a year ago, when
he wrote, only to learn in reply that
he had been declared legally dead.
He came to Minnesota soon after
his arrival in America and took up his
residence in Duluth. In time he grew
peculiar in his ways, and about seven
years ago the st. Louis county au-
thorities consigned him to the st.
Louis hospital for the insane at Fer
gus Falls.
Williamson has never been violent
or troublesome. His manners we're
annoying, but no worse than that.
His most noticeable popularity was
the pride with which he boosted Of
his English citizenship. He resented
the thought that he had become prac-
tically a citizen of America. ANY
reference to his permanent residence
here was sufficient to arouse a mildly
belligerent TRADE against America
and everything American.
While Williamson was supported at
the expense Of the state of Minnesota
his father died, leaving considerable
property. No hint of the absent ones
existence had been received since his
departure from home. In regular
form of law his kindred went before
the English courts and had William
o declared legally dead, thus vest
ing his property in his children. Will
hamson's interest in his fathers es-
tate revived about a year ago and he
wrote a letter Of inquiry to England,
learning in reply that he was dead ac-
cording TO English law.
This news seems to have given the
man a shock. His boosted English
citizenship had disappeared with the
courts decree and he was truly a man
without a country. From the receipt
Of the letter the man began to plan
for a return to his old home. The
proposition to deport him met willing
acceptance on his part, and he will re-
turn with the idea of fighting for his
share of the estate.

:, THE TRAINING OF A CHILD.
Several Important Points That Must
Be Remembered,

sc nemCmpGFcQ,
To teach child with success re-
quires only common sense, good judg.
ment and gentleness. There are, how
ever, three other important points that
must ever be foremost in the mind
of the teacher.
First of all, she must remember that
to teach is to impart instruction; not
to find fault with ignorance, with lack
of comprehension, with listlessness or
with forgetfulness. Often, indeed, for
these last named faults, poor teaching
is to blame. Second, there is the
infeXible rule that requires a teacher
to prepare every lesson carefully be-
fore giving it, in order to present it
in an interesting and Ineligible way.
Third, there is the ever present dan
ger of OVERRIDING, against which the
teacher must always be on guard.
In the beginning short lessons fire.
quently varied give the best results.
Ten or fifteen minutes for each study
is enough, and this time limit must
not be overstepped so long as to-
morrow represents another day.-The

Trees and Novels.

Nine successful novels recently pub
lished in the United States had a total
sale of over 100000 copies. Since
the average wei ght of each book sold
was probably twenty ounces a little
calculation will prove that these 1,6OO,-
600 books contained approximately
100000 pounds of paper. A manu-
facturer Of paper asserts that the aver
age spruce tree yields little less than
halt a cord of wood, which is equiya-
lent to about 500 pounds of paper. In
other words these nine novels swept
away 4,OCb, trees and they form but
a small part Of the fiction so eagerly
read by the American people.

VITALITY OF BURNS FAME.
Il Is One Of the Great Facts of Our

Il Is One of the Great Facts of Our
Literature.
"The inquest" on Robert Burns was
concluded long ago, but from time to
time the findings are reviewed by crit.
ical writer's, as in a recent symposium,
says Golfers. A curious result thus
chances. From every such inquisition
the poet emerges the more radiant and
triumphal-the critics are lost in the
splendor they have evoked. It is one
thing to make literature; it is another
and quite different thing to write about
literature and the makers thereof. This
is a truism, and yet the distinction Is
often confused, especially by the writ
ers Of criticism. Burns has survived
several generations Of critics, many
of whom made vain bid for remem-
brance by their praise or dispraise Of
him. The vitality of his fame is one
of the great facts OF our literature.
