A Mechanical Skipping Rope.

The skipping rope, an attraction for
young people at one of the amusement
places in London, is not only me-
chanical but automatic as we'll. The
rope revolves when the skipper steps
opon the platform, this action releas-
ing the spring or clutch that regulates
the mechanism. The faster the
skipper jumps, the faster the rope re-
wolves. Be sure that you do not skip

Well Euuipped,

A Methodist bishop was recently a
guest at the home of a friend who had
two charming daughters. One morn
ing the bishop, accompanied by the
two young ladies went out in the hope
OF catching some trout. An old
fisherman, out for the same purpose,
wishing to appear friendly, called
out:
"Ketchin' many, pard?"
The bishop, drawing himself to his
full height, replied, Brother, am a
fisher of men,
"You've got the right kind o. bait,

wasting school omoers Excusable.

Some of the exchanges tell of a
Cass county school teacher, who in
pinning her belt ran needle into her
waist, which was not recovered until
some time later when it was found
coming out of the arm of one of the
members of the school board. Judg-
ing from the number OF pretty school
teachers we have in Cass county, no
member of the board can be criticised
for wasting a little time now and
then. However, to tell the truth
about it, the incident occurred in
Grow Wing and not in Cass county

finally swept itself away down the

half fainting, frantic with fear. This
wind blown, gasping creature actually
laughed. Then she spoke to him for

Compulsory Education Law.


The following is copy of the COM
pulsory education law that was passed
by the state legislature last winter.
According to this law every pupil be-
tween the ages of and 16 is obliged
to attend school during the entire
school session unless excused by the
school board for some good reason.
This is good law and ought to be
enforced. 1t no doubt will be en- :.
forced as there is heavy penalty
placed upon those officers who do not
enforce it, and whose duy it is to do
so. We shall expect every parent
having children between these ages to
send them promptly to school as soon
as school commences unless excused
by the school board.
J. G. Marshall.
Section l. Every parent, guardian,
or other person who resides in any
school district and who has control of
any child or children of or between the
ages of eight and sixteen years, and
in school districts contained in cities
OF the first class between the ages of
eight and eighteen, shall send such
child or children to public or pri-
vate school in each year during the
entire time the public schools of such
district are in session.
Provided, however, that such child
or children may be excused from such
attendance upon a written application
to the school board by the parent,
guardian or person having control of
such child or children for the whole or
any part of such period by the school
board or board of education of the
school district in which such parent,
guardian or person having control
over such child or children resides,
upon it's being shown to the satisfaci
tion of such board:
~ That such parent, guardian or
other person having control is not
able by reason of poverty to clothe
such child properly; or
~ That such child's bodily or
mental condition is such as to prevent
his attendance at school or appli.

Col. VIM. Liggett, former state rail

Dogs that act peculiarly in dog days
are not usually mad, but just irri-
tated by the hot weather, like human
beings, according to the physicians in
charge of the Minnesota Pasteur in
stitute, who say there is no epidemic
of rabies. The police of the twin
cities receive many requests daily to
have the muzzling order put into
operation and there are many reports
of rabid dogs. An investigation,
however, usually proves the dog is
overheated or sick.
The railroads of Minnesota will
fight the forest fire law enacted by the
last legislature. The law requires
the railroads to have a patrol on
every mile through timber districts in
dry seasons, and requires them to
burn or remove all combustible
material from their rights of way.
The fight has already commenced in
Beltrami county, two cases wherein
fines were imposed on railway COM
panies for failure to provide patrols
having been appealed to the district
court.
