Woman Scores

A Douglas county woman is given
credit for scoring point on those IN
charge of tie state teachers conven-
ton at Milwaukee last week
Mrs. Jennie Richardson, county SUI
perintendent of schools here, created
stir in the convention one by brines
ing up touchy question which had
been tabooed by the convention lead
ers. 1t was the book question.
The matter was to have been dis
cussed on the program, which was es-
pecially for county superintendent
and institutes. A change was made,
however, to ignore this matter, the
reason being, it is said, that it was
feared that the book matter drag in
politics.
| But Mrs. Richardson had something
| to say about the book question and
insisted on being heard. When the
opportunity came she arose and said
! that she would for moment usurp
| the functions of the chairman. Then
she asked how many county superin-
tendents liked the way in which the
Eau Clare concern was manipulating
the matter of book supply for coun-
ties. 1t is said that not county SUI
periptendent stood up. Then some
one asked if they liked the way the
matter had been handled some years
back. 1t is said that about half the
superintendent stood up.
That closed the incident excepting
that Mrs. Richardson was sought for
further declaration which she did
no t make, however.
Mrs. Richardson has returned to her
home at Lake Nebagamon and has al
ready received from the concern in
question the order of books placed by
her, as she claims, some five months
back, Her complaint was that the
company from whom it was necessary
for her to get certain books manipu
lated things to its own advantage by
causing the superintendent delays
and other vexations.

The body of Alexander Mccartney,

Larson of the county court on Oct. p
last, lie died on Dec. Il last and in
conformity with the law passed by the
Legislature the body was turned over by
the insane ylum authorities to the de

and insisted that the remains be interr-

she managed to have this done with a
view To bringing them here i'll the spring

the university under the new law enact

bodies OF state institutions are not claim

Girls Are Preferred
Il don't know exactly why people
prefer to take girls instead OF bows.
You might think it is because girls
have better dispositions than bows co
that, if there was any bad blood in the
family it might not cause the new
parents so much trouble But that is
hardly the case. We always INQUIRE
carefully into the parentage of our ba-
bies. Most Of the mothers, as we know.
are fine, lovable girls, who have come
to US directly from the country They
may be inexperienced and overtrust-
ing, but that is surely not sign of an
evil disposition.
Il guess everybody takes girls be-
cause they know that Minnesota girls
are the best in the world, while boys
are only boys. even in the North Star
state.
1--WE like the babies to be at least a
month old before they are adopted. Yet
by that time their mothers are Won
derfully attached to them. There was
Jennie, who is working out now Her
little boy-boys are taken sometimes,
of course-was adopted by a couple
out on Summit avenue who are we'll
to-do and have their carriage. Now,
we never tell a real mother exactly
where her child goes; that would only
worry both mothers. But Jennie had
the comfort of knowing that her boy
has been adopted by a prosperous St.
Paul woman who used to drive out
with him in her carriage. SO for
months afterwards, Jennie told me, she
used to steal away from her work
whenever she could and stand on Sixth
street, watching the carriages come
down the hill. hoped l could see my
baby she said; If could only see him
once I'd go up there a thousand times
Then there was Millie. She was
seventeen. The people that took her
little girl didn't want to wait a month.
She gave it up-to make sure of its
having a nice home-When it was ten
days old. That was only last month.
The people were to leave town soon
after IL o'clock that night. All that
evening Millie wanted me to sit by her
bed and hold her hand. She said she
didn't miss her baby so much if l did
that. And when the clock struck IL
she watched the hands till the time for
the train to start. She had been
merely sobbing. But she screamed out
then and tainted. She was out of her
head all night

for her to go away. She was trying
to get some work to do. But she was
farmers daughter and she could do
nothing but houseworK; and, Of course,
housemaid can't very easily take
child with her or even pay for it's sup
port.
Edith told the couple to wait. If
she didn't hear of any place within
three days where she could go and
keep her baby, they might have it. But
she must keep it just little while
longer.
Next day-what do you suppose
Why, we got a letter from widower
with one child on nice farm. He
said, Send me housekeeper that has
lived on farm and is fond of chill
dren. If she has one of her~own, so
much the better You should have
seen Edith when handed her that let
ter. 1t was better than Christmas.
And that couple took black-eyed
baby.
Women Adept at Matching Babies
"They weren't very well satisfied,
though. People like babies to match.
But some women can do wonders, you
know, when it comes to matching.
For instance: Last winter | had a
call from young lady living in Mime
apolis She said that she, and espe-
c1ally her husband. were awfully fond
of children. After they'd been married
five years she wanted to adopt one but
her husband objected; said he could
never think of such a child as their
own. She explained to me then that
she had waited year, and he still
stuck to his opinion. So she wanted
to look at the babies we had on hand.
She was short, round-faced, and
rather blonde, and I supposed she'd
pick out a blue-eyed girl-of course, it
was a girl they wanted. But she
didn't She selected our prettiest baby.
It's mother was tall, slender, about
eighteen years old, with deep brown
italian eyes and oval face. The Mime
apolis woman said she'd adopt the
pretty baby.
"Then she told me: I've been off
visiting my mother for several months,
and she thinks 1 ought to adopt a
child; but she doesn't want me to tell
my husband that I've done it. Perhaps
I will and perhaps-at any rate, don't
see how he could refuse to love those
big brown eyes.
"She took the child away. This
spring I was visiting in Minneapolis
and I heard that her husband was de-
lighted. He has light eyes himself and
sandy hair, and he's not over tall. But
when a friend of mine, who knew the
secret, got acquainted with the family
and told him the child looked just like

THREE SHELLS WIN
RIGHT ON BROADWAY
Seedy Person and Confederate
Easily Separate Noontime
Crowd From $40

NEW YORK, June 25.-Maybe he
had tip that the lid was off, in the
Tenderloin,- or, perhaps, he only need
ed the money. Anyway, he looked it,
and he got it-$40 at least-from a
Broadway noontime crowd yesterday
with three little shells and disap-
pearing ball. He worked for fifteen
minutes on the Broadway's edge at
Twenty seventh street. Hundreds OF
persons, and perhaps a policeman, who
saw the knot of men about him decided
that it was only peddler selling collar
buttons to men who did not want col
lar buttons.
His clothing was seedy and his straw
hat had seen last season, but no one
noticed that when he opened his closely
buttoned coat and a little shelf dropped
down and hung straight out in front of
his vest pockets. 1t was covered with
green cloth, and when he began with,
Gentlemen, 1 have here,' everybody
expected the collar buttons.
"a very interesting little game"
Then they looked interested, and some
who were going on decided to stay a
minute longer.
Out came the three little half wal
nut shells and the small ball. Can you
guess under which shell the little ball
is? Take try; it don't cost anything"
No one tried until an untidy looking
person guessed wrong. Others who
knew where the ball really was COR
rected him. Then they guessed for
themselves the next time and they all
guessed right again.
The untidy one seemed annoyed and
offered to bet 81 that he could guess
right. His bet was taken and he won.
Then he bet the 81 and he won again.
He bet So again and named the shell.
The player did not lift it at once and
two or three men offered to bet that
