MEETS THE CUT.
The New Independent Toll Line Com
pany Heard From.
From Tuesdays Daily.


President James of the Minnesota
Valley Telephone and Telegraph COM
pany, IN discussing the cut in the long
distance rate of the Northwestern Tele-
phone Exchange company between Man
kato and the twin cities and certain in
termediate. points, said today:
"Our company never intended to cut
under the Northwestern company's sched
ule of rates. We had made a three
minute rate pending an adjustment of
rates. When we learned that the North
western company had one and two
minute rate from certain points we were
preparing a new schedule that would
have gone into effect in day or two.
''Inasmuch as the Northwestern COM
pany has cut the rate in two, and as our
company has no bonds to pay interest
upon, we can meet any rate that the
other company has made or viii make.
The same rate that 1T announced yester-
day are now in effect over our lines. Our
company has obtained a good deal of
advertising out of the cut, but the lat
ter will not deter any Independent move
ment which will parallel every Bell line
in the state as fast as the new lines can
be put in
The business men will appreciate the
reduction in rates, as it was felt that
they were higher than necessary. The
reduction will no doubt lead to such an
increase in business as will much more
than reimburse the companies for the
cut.

Nels Nyquist, the good natured man
from Blue Earth county, with the
comedy makeup and dialect, welded
quite an influence on his fellow members,
especially those from the rural districts.
He had way of putting things that al
ways gave him favorable hearing, and
especially effective in killing bills. He
was not very particular about the bills
he killed, and helped sidetrack some
very meritorious measures. He was
strong enough in the other directions to
put his boiler Inspector bill through,
thanks to which Governor Van SAINT
has fifty-one appointments to make. He
went after the newspapers in way that
prompted The st. Peter Herald to say
that his comedy was serious business,
but the net result of the session did not
leave the fraternity any worse off for
his efforts. The session just closed was
his fourth, and he was the dean of the
house.

One gentleman on the jury told the
court that he should tie excused from
serving because of living in California.
The Judge questioned him closely and it
was apparent to the court that the juror
had not yet gained ersiaance in the sun

rather have it understood that he was
resident of California. The Judge, how
ever, could not see it in that light, and
the gentleman was forced to serve his
country at two dollars per day.

Waterbury evening Democrat., 1903-12-28

trouble nowadays IS that men let me1r stomachs run riot with their bodies. We must discipline, must educate our stomachs as we discipline and educate our brains. With study, care and prac- tice any one can live on 20 cents day, and live well, developing wonderful en- durance and fine health.
 "I am ffty-four years old, but not a month ago I took the strength test in the Yale gymnasium and beat out some of our famous athletes. In endurance I believe that I far outstrip them all. What is the explanation? Why, the stamina and power have come to me as a result of what eat and how. This is my advice to everybody" continued the professor impressively, Get ac- quainted with your stomach. Find out what it wants and eat just as little of it as possible. Half the ills of life are due to unwise and excessive eating"
 Professor Fletcher admitted that he had been beset by many tempta tons notably "baked beans" and 'hot flap- jacks" but he had turned his back upon these delicacies. He has been educating his stomach for forty years.

you gave it to them, but from the best to the weakest they desire stronger public sympathy for the girls who stand between compulsory attend ance and a challenge not to touch them.'"
 The teachers themselves are divided as to the wisdom of permitting whip ping. Many of them would prefer a law against it, as that would take the responsibility of decision from their shoulders. AS matters now stand the boys know that thrashing is forbidden, and the wilder ones among the young sters consider that they cannot be beat en, because, as Professor Boltwood says, "Darn you, you dassent touch me-"
 AS a rule, however, teachers do not use the whip even where the law per- mits it without warrant from the par ent or guardian of the troublesome boy, and they prefer to have this warrant in writing, 50 that if any trouble is made for them they have the documentary defense to show.
 With respect to various transgres- sions of more serious character, or vices as some prefer to call them, many teachers and principals today hold the view that serious punishment is called for, though mostly forbidden by law. These transgressions degrade the boy. They lower his moral status. Iflnot checked and uprooted they will lower his character for life. They need sterner and severer punishment than moral suasion, something from which whatever of true nobility there is in the boy will revolt. Corporal punish ment is not thought to be the remedy for such offenses. If too severe it sa. vors of cruelty and so might harden and imhitter tbe youth.

BREAKFAST IN A SMOKER.

Long Island Man Rides on Certain
 Train Despite Jeers of Passengers.
 Passengers on the 7:32 a. m subur- ban train have recently been amused to see William Rohr of Massapequa, N. Y., breakfast in the smoking car. Mr. Rohr partakes of his matutinal meal as calmly as though he were in his own home or in a dining car on a limited train, and he does this in the face of the somewhat caustic comments of other suburbanites.
 From one pocket of his overcoat MT. Rohr will draw pasteboard box and from the other bottle filled with cof- fee. The box usually contains a piece of hot steak and other parts of break fast
 It appears the 7:32 train was not to stop at Massapequa after Dec. 1, but wealthy resident of the place, who has influence with the railroad manage ment, succeeded in having the train halt so long as one passenger boarded it. MT. Rohr has felt that it is up to him to be passenger on that partic- ular train, and when he sleeps too late to breakfast regularly at his home he has meal made ready while making his toilet and partakes oiS. it while en route. He Is warmly coNgra tulated upon his determination to make good, and his travelling companions, al though they guy him unmeSifully. sssfssa lI4z . s7xs1fsssa his sseFAS Sistancy
