WANT A PUGILIsT TEACHER.
Fighting Son Of a Preacher Is Licked
in Calhoun School.

Marshall, Mich. = WANTED - A
pugjlist capable of teaching a rural
school of ten unruly farmer boys, who
need a good thrashing," is an adver-
tisement that School Commissioner
Miller would like to place in the city
papers if he dared. The school in Lee
township in which the teacher, Clar-
ence S~chamehorn, of Battle Creek,
son of a Methodist preacher, taught, is
In need. of just such a teacher. Scha-
mehorn started to clean up the entire
bunch the other day, but there were
too many of them, and he claims he
can't stand for a ten to one shot any
way, and so has resigned.
Schamehorn says he is the fighting
son of a preacher, and stood the i'll
treatment az long as he could, and
when he whipped n of the boys too
severely he was too angry to realize
what he was doing. The school has
worn out three teachers in a year and
a half. Any pugilist who can secure a
certificate to teach and wants a lit
tie training, together with plain food
of the farm, apply to the commissions
er of schools and get a job at most
any price.

Electricity Causes sIeen.

Paris, France.-Prof. Stiphane La
Due Of the School of Medicine at
Nantes has discovered a method Of
causing electric sleep. It is claimed
for the discovery that it will replace
chloroform and other anaesthetics in
all surgical operations. The discovery
proceeded from study of the effects
Of intermittent currents and from the
knowledge that the skull and brain Of
fer but little resistance to the curl
rents. !,
Tor a human being a current of 35
volts is applied internationally in its
full strength for minute fractions of a;
second. Two electrodes are applied to
the skull in a special manner, the
pin is of application being first care1
fully shaved.
Prof. LIE Due made scores Of exs;
periments on dogs and on himself. All
were successful. The application of
the current on the head is not danger
GUS and no i'll effects follow. even
when the experiment lasts for hours.

Jack the Pepper" has again
made his appearance in this city.
1t will be remembered that last
winter the inhabitants of this
place were annoyed by this or
some similar character going
around town peeping into the
windows after dark. Every eff
fort will be put forth to catch the
fellow and If the officials succeed
in landing him he should be given
all that is coming to him. He is
taking his life in his own hands
for he is apt to meet with a pref
ty warm reception if certain peo-
pie get their optics on him prowl-
ing around after dark.

The days are commencing to

Old Sol is slowly but surely
northward bound, and, as the
old saying goes our winter is
half over" So far we have had
no winter in good old North Da-
kota. The thermometer has been
down to zero, and one or two
mornings was a little below, but
there Is not enough snow on the
ground to make good sleighing
and grain is still being hauled to
market in wagons. and automo-
biles are spinning around as if it
were a beautiful July day. Oh!
ye, blizzard stricken inhabitants
of the eastern and central states

find no sleet and mud, or one of
those most refreshing" fogs,
that sweep over the central
states, and chill one so that when
he meets a friend on the street
his lower jaw will drop down on
his manly chest and he will have
to go and sit down on a red hot
stove for two hours before he can
say hello" Yes, we known
what it is, we've been thru it all.
It is true we have cold weather
in North Dakota, the thermome.
ter registers much lower than in
most places thru the east and
central states but the air here is
dry and invigorating and when it
is 20 below, which is very seldom
and then not long at a stretch, it
is not felt as much as 40 above in
the east and central states. For
instance, did you ever start to
walk down one of the principal
streets in Chicago when the
thermometer registered 40
above?-nuf said.

 What was It? Memory? Yes, It was memory without doubt; but what else? Whence the hand power that enabled him to manipulate the keys, the vocal power that enabled him to initiate the voice?
 When he was tot of four or five years old he strayed from the negro cabin Into the parlor of the mansion and hid himself while the children were having a concert. When they had gone, leaving the room, as they supposed, quite empty they heard the piano tnkle. They ran back, and there, to their amazement, sat the chubby little black monkey on the stool, banging away for dear life, yet not without sequence and rhythm, trying to repeat what they had just been singing and playing.

It Is as if some trusty, well-loved mastiff-mute, but affec- tionate--closely associated with the dead and gone-had been suddenly recalled to be as suddenly taken away. The wires that flash his death tighten picture gallery for me of the old, familiar faces. What was he? Whence came he? Was he the prince of the fairy tale held by the wicked enchan- tress; nor any Beauty-not even the Heaven-born Maid of Melody-to re- lease him? Blind, deformed, and black-as black even IS Erebus-- idiocy, the idiocy of mysterious, per petual frenzy the sole companion of his waking visions and his dreams whence came he. and was he, and wherefore?
