The Minot officers, county
sheriff and the officers in the
cities in this part Of the state
have been doing their share
towards bringing to Justice the
breakers Of the law in this state.
The county Jail in Minot is full
to overfowing. There are some
bad characters in it, and it is
realized that there are as many
more running at large. Three
hold-up artists on the Great
Northern were run down Satur-
day morning. A man supposed
to be guilty OF stealing eleven
head OF horses was brot up from

have shot Jerry Thompson, the
Great Northern brakeman, have
been arrested, identified, and
placed in our Jail. Two Ger

to be guilty OF a most heinous
crime, are in the tolls. A man

credit for it. There are now %

MISS LOUISE PATTERSON.

With the recent Identification of Rich
ard Harding Davis latest book, Captain
Macl1lin," a great deal of interest is CEN
tered in one of the characters which was
drawn from real life, Gen. Robert Pat
terson of Philadelphia a hero of three
wars.
Mr.. Davis makes his hero, Captain
Maekln, pay a visit to General Patterson
on the occasion of one of his annual din
ners to the Aztec club.
The Aztec club was founded by Gem
eral Patterson after the Mexican war
Only officers of the Mexican war were
eligible. Mr.. Davis has said that Cen
eral Patterson was his idea of the Duke
of Wellington and tells of an incident
when General Patterson met Clarke
Davis one day on the streets of Philadel-
phia.
1T pleases me when 1 go down town
in the morning" said the general Ito
hear men say, good morning, general,
for it means we were together in the
civil war-but it pleases me still more to
have man say, good morning, Colonel,
and we stop and chat a while, for 1t
means we were in the Mexican war to-
gether. But when a man says good
morning captain. | clasp him to my
heart and take him home to spend the
night, for we fought together during the
war of 1872

Japan,s Postal Service.

The cheapest postal service in the world
is That of Japan, where letters are con-
veyed all over the empire for 2 sen. about
seven-tenths of a penny. This is the
more wonderful considering the difficult
ties of transport over a mountainous and
irregular country, which has less than
100 miles of railway, while wagons can
pass over only few of the chief roads
and the steamers connect but small
number of coast stations.

MRS. TALLEY TALKS
ON CARE OF THE VOICE.

body in expression necessary" was
body n expression necessary was
asked Mrs. Lois b. Talley, director of the
Birmingham School of Expression, yes
terday, in her studio.
Expression should form a part Of
universal education" said Mrs. Talley.
mo matter what profession a man may
intend to follow, some form of express
sion is necessary to develop his faculties,
especially his imagination, and to bring
all of his powers into harmony with each
other, to stimulate his appreciation of
nature. literature and art, and to give
him insight into human nature and int
his own life and character.
ITO illustrate the application of ex-
preston to education and to discuss some
of the special professions for which such
training Is necessary, we will first of all
consider Its service to the teacher. not
merely to technical teachers of express
sion, but to all instructors. Work in ex-
preston is necessary to these not only on
account of these general reasons. but
more especially because every teacher
must use his voice. He must present
the truth and his manner of presenting
the truth is vitality important If his
voice is cold and hard he will weary his

terest
Many failures among teachers may
be traced directly to a misuse of the
voice. Teachers in our public schools all
over the country are continually break
ing down from sore throat and Ill health
of various kinds. Many suffer eontinu-
ally who say nothing about it, for fear
of losing their positions.
What Is the cause of this? Most
teachers have to speak in large rooms to
forty or fifty children. some even to
sixty or seventy Frequently the rooms
are in n noisy part of the city and teach
ers have great difficulty in being heard.
The result is they begin to. strain the
voice. not knowing how to use 1t. and a
sore throat is the consequence.
Many not knowing how to breathe,
cramp the lungs and strain the throat.
so that the whole nervous system be-
comes broken down and the organs of
the body ready for disease.
THAT something destroys the health
of teachers has been recognized for some
time and physical culture has been
brought forward the last few years as a
remedy. This is important but 1t does
not go to the root of this evil. Nine
tenths of the time bad health is due to
the misuse of the voice and the organs
of expression. When one comes to think
of the teachers function, of the inf1u-
ence of tone upon children; when we
see what unconscious imitators children
are, we feel at once the great Importance
of having teachers trained in the use of
their voices.

like to walk round here and there
