grace to have these incidents happen
They are demoralizing and brutalizing
in their effect on both teachers and
pupils" Rev. Gjertsen evidently does
not believe what the wise man said
about sparing the rod and spelling the
child. Some of the leading colleges
of the country believe in the efficacy
OF the rubber hose for the reformation
of disorderly pupils. We have seen
the implement of chastisement and
have no hesitation in saying that there
is nothing demoralzing or brutalizing
about it. The boys themselves do not
think so, and when they reach man.
hood they will never complain of being
whipped with rubber hose when go
ing to school. Their fathers received
a more severe drubbing when they
were boys and it made better men Of
them.
According to the daily papers the
members of the Minneapolis board OF
education do not agree upon many
matters in relation to the schools.
That is only natural. There are seven
of them and they cannot be expected
to think alike on everything. They
are elected by the people and get no
compensation for their work. They
are certainly entitled to ordinary cou:-
tesy for the gratuitous services they
render to the community The people
ought to refrain from unjust criticism
and fault-finding. and the papers
should treat them as they do the mem
bers of other boards.
If censorious individuals were in
their place they could not have served
the public more faithfully than the
present members. The school system
of this city is eulogized by the best
educators of the country. Supt Jor-
dan is a man of rare executive ability,
and is recognized as such by those
who are competent to judge. Give the
board of education fair play. They
are all Republicans, and hence we arc
not politically prejudiced in their ia
vor. The people are responsible for
their election, and they should not te
made targets of for abuse and misrep-
resentation. We hope that they will
see that rigid discipline is enforced and
that the rubber hose for unruly pupils
is frequently applied to the tenderes,
part of their anatomy.

That comparisons are odious" WAS
illustrated few days ago in a lee
ture delivered by Prof. Albert F..
jerks of the University of Minnesota
on the different races that comprise
the complex population Of the Flour
City. Who the professor at the "U"
is or what his requirements we know
not: but if the report of his lecture
was taken geographically he will not
cast much lustre upon the institution
with which he is connected. He ham
died his subject in a crude, clumsy
and awkward manner and f1ippantiy
eulogized some races at the expense
of others. He is probably a young
man, judging solely from his charac-
terizations of the various races re-
viewed by him. The famous Captain
jerks of the Horse Marines could
have delivered a more scholarly adj
dress on such subject than the bril-
liant luminary of the State Univers-
ity. He must have come here from
Rockefeller's institution in the Windy
City. In the words of the poet, his
discourse was "a specimen rare, upon
the whole, of that figure of speich
called .rignaarole.'

but with 100000.
Now commenced Angelica's real life.
She was old enough not to need chap
eron, yet young enough to enjoy the
prominence given her by her wealth. a
beauty that was in its prime and great
sprightliness. She at once became the
favorite of society and lived in some
one OF her several residences in town
and country. Men flocked to her in un-
told numbers, but what Is easily gain
ed is not valued, and she would have
none of them. Several Of her suitors
were men Of prominence who could
have advanced the young widow in a
way not to be attained by wealth
alone, but the trouble was they were
to be had for the asking. There was no
sport In chase where hundred hunt
ers were firing at her on sight. She pre-
ferred to turn huntress and bring down
the game herself

A FAREWELL TO
THE ELOPMENT CLUB.
tOriginal.1

fOrigtnal.l
The Elopement club was in session,
and the president said:
"Girls, since our last meeting one Of
our number has accomplished what
we all pledge ourselves to accomplish
and Is present to take leave of US. The
secretary will read that part Of our
constitution bearing on the case"
The secretary then read:
ARTICLE II.
Recognising the wrong committed by
men (who by nature have an advantage
over women in active fields) In selfishly
supporting themselves alone and depriv-
Ing women OF the home and children, we
each agree to capture some man for a
husband and carry him OF by persuasion
or force. by hook or by crook, to the
matrimonial altar.
ARTICLE I'LL
When a member has been successful
in this praiseworthy object she shall be-
fore retiring from the club narrate the
methods she has used.
The president then called on the sue
cessful member to comply with the
requirements Of the last named article
She arose and said:
Girls, ! must say that have found
my object more easily accomplished
than I supposed-not that the man l
have captured had in the beginning

was rather inclined to avoid me. He

"He assented to all except my spend

sichore was one of his idols. He aban-
doned himself to the motion and the
music as one In heavenly dream.
Quick to see weak point, she re-
solved to attack him through this love.
She asked him to dance. He had the
ehrontery to decline on the ground
that he did not know how to dance.
But It was not long after this that
Angelica gave ball herself. She had
given out through her friends that she
felt very much hurt at the treatment
Debonair had given her. that she had
been surprised that any man should
treat an unprotected woman so rudely,
but that she would give him an oppor-
tunity to redeem himself These re-
marks were intended for Pauls ears.
and when he received an invitation to
her ball he decided at least to accept

room he heard voluptuous sounds that
ting1ed in the tips Of his toes. He went
directly to the hostess. who smiled
upon him and said:

here, and my word is law. You are
commanded to dance with me-"
In another moment Debonair was
gliding over a waxed floor with a
dream Of loneliness In his arms. The
soft strains, the beautiful face SO near

ways upon his, were an Irresistible in
cantation. Then. too. be was dancing

and momentarily caught their perfume.
