Hon. William J. Bryan probably
never addressed a more attentive and
appreciatiye audience than gathered
in expectation of his coming at the

Of the platform after brief introduc.

hearty welcome in the form OF enthu-
siastic applause from the students and

there to greet him.

He divided his remarks to the stu
dents into under two heads, public
speaking and education In general.
He believed thar the best service he
could render those present was 10

FIRST PROBATE JUDGE.
Funeral of John B.sCastor Held Here

John B. Castor, an early settler of
New Ulm and the first Judge of probate
ever elected in Brown county, passed
away at the national soldiers home in
Milwaukee, Wis, last Wednesday at
the advanced age of Is years. De-

THE ALBATROSS.
Curious and Elaborate Dances In
Which 1t Participates. e."

It is we'll known that many of the
cranes and other long legged wading
birds indulge in curious antics that
partake closely of the nature Of the
human dance, but it is not known to
many persons that the albatross has
the most elaborate and ceremonious
dance Of them all.
Only very few have ever seen the al
batross on land; probably nine persons
out of ten who have seen the wonder
full birds at all have observed them
only on the ocean.
One of the nesting places Of this
great winged creature is the island Of
Laysan, in the Pacific ocean, and there
at times the ground is absolutely COW
cred with their nests. 1t is on Laysa1t
that the albatross dance was first seen
by a lucky scientist.
The ceremony begins when lot of
the birds are grouped in circle. Two
will advance toward each other, bend
ing and nodding their heads in exact
imitation of the human bow Then
they spar with their bills, crossing
them gently and still making funny
little bows. Then one bird will lower
its head and stand quite still in that
pose, while the other throws it's head
back till the bill points straight into
the air. 1t puffs out it's breast and adj
vances with queer, fantastic strut
uttering a curious grunt. The other
bird begins to snap it's bill till it pro
duces the sound of castanets
So the two will alternate, advancing
and retreating and bowling to each 9th
er by turns. Sometimes one will pick
up bit of grass or a feather and Offer
1t to the other. Then a second couple
will join the dance, and at last as many
as forty of the huge birds may be en-
gagged in the queer pastime
