Boys Are swished There Now ss
They Were Fifty Years 400.

Boys Are swlshed There Now as
They Were Fifty Years AGO.
Flosglng or swishlng. to give Il its
proper name. like everything else at
Elton, is still conducted on the same
lines as nifty years ago. The birch
and block have never been supplant.
ed by any new.fangled methods.
Moreover. II is usual TO present
the recipient OF swishing with a
small portion OF the birch. partly as
q pleasing memento OF the occasion
and partly to ward of any further
desire for wrongdoing, says the
Gentlewoman.
A swishing may be the outcome
OF several things. Perhaps the com
monest reason for punishment IS
that a boy has been complained OF
to the head by his form master, the
phrase complained of" meaning
that the master is dissatisfied either
with the boys work or general be
havior.
other backslidings are smoking
and cutting chapel, the former being
a particularly hefnous crime. Boys
below the fifth form are attended to
by the lower master, euphemistical-
" known as the fea,' who has
more or less complete authority over
the lower school: the "uppers," or
seniors, are looked after by the
headmaster in person. In either
case the proceedings do not differ
materially.
On the day OF execution a praepos-
tor comes around TO the victim
classroom and asks IL "So-and-So is
in this division?" On the master in
charge answering yes" the praepos-'
tor calls out, "Headmaster wishes to
see him after r."
There is an ominous pause as
these dread words are uttered The
master in charge smiles grimly, the
victim looks sheepish and turns
white the other boys exchange sig
nificant glances.
Twelve o'clock booms out all too
soon. AS the class clatters out down
the stairs the victims friends clus-
ter round him and overwhelm him
with hints and tit-bits of informa'
ton. Does he know the heads al
ways in a worse bait on MondaysT"
did he see that new lot Of birches
that went up only the other dayT
ana so on. 1t is horrid, heartleas
world.
Arrived at the execution chamber.
he is confronted with the two pras-
posters whose duty it Is to "hoed
down." an office which is generally
rather a sinecure, though OCCASION
ally boys have been known to strus'
gle furiously. The headmaster now
appears, and in solemn accents says
"Kneel there, boy" indicating the
block as he speaks.
Over bhe next few seconds one
may draw a veil-enough to say that
in the majority of cases three or
four strokes are held to be sufficient.

FRICTION Ianited easolins.

Grand Forks, N D., Dec 31-The
employment Of gasoline as a cleaner of
silk came very nearly costing domes-
tic at the Donald Campbell home, 7OS
South Fourth street, very serious burns
yesterday. Friction caused by the
strenuous rubbing together Of pieces of
silk was responsible for the igniting
Of the gasoline which would have caus-
ed considerable damage had the guam
tity not been so small.
The hired girl was engaged in the
cleaning operations in the kitchen when
the accident happened She was not
burned in the least but Mrs. Campbell
had one arm quite severely seorched
by the flames while endeavoring to ex-
tinguish them.
The basin containing the gasoline
soaked silk was standing in tub filled
with clothes and the flames damaged
the contents Of the tub to the extent Of
about $50. The fire department was
called out and soon had the situation
well in hand. The affair occurred at
IL: 30 this noon.
Chief Runge, in discussing the fire.
this afternoon, said that the using of
gasoline in cleaning silk is very dam
gerous and that a great deal of care
is necessary in handling 1t.

NECHE Man IS
BADLY FROZEN

Neche Chronotype: John C. West
phal, who lives near Neche, narrowly
escaped freezing to death last week,
and is not yet out of danger. On last
Wednesday night, while quite a bliz-
card was blowing from the northwest,
Westphal started from Thomas Cor
belts to go to the Louis Morris farm,
a distance of about two miles. In the
darkness, and bewildered by the driv-
ing snow. he lost his way, and only
realized where he was when he stunlb-
led down the steep bank Of the Pembi-
ma river and broke through the ice.
Fortunately the water. was only waist
deep but as soon as Westphal dragged
himself out his clothes froze stiff, and
he found that his strength was fast
giving out. Struggling through the
snowdrifts and fighting for his life, he
reached w. welford's place at 2 o'clock
on Friday morning, after being out in
the storm for over .twenty-four hours.
He was quickly taken in and cared for,
and has since been under the care of a
physician. His legs were frozen to the
hips and one arm was frozen to a point
above the elbow. The doctor has hopes
of saving westphaTs legs, but states
that 1t may be necessary 70 amputate

A TALL STORY
FROM DAKOTA
FESsENDEN MAN SAYS PRAIRIE
CHICKENS EAT FROM THE
GARBAGE PALS.

Duluth Herald: ". G. smithe OF
Fessenden, N. D., guest Of the Lenox
today. says the prairie chickens are so
thick on the prairies about Fessenden
that they come right into the back
yards OF the town in search Of food.
Out North Dakota way, according to
the story told by Smithe, the snow
covers the ground so thoroughly that
IL is impossible for the birds to get
anything to eat The prairie chickens
are starving to death. and hunger has
driven them to the garbage pals of
the residents OF Fessenden.
On some mornings Mr.. Smithe says
the residents Of Fessenden look out of
their windows to see the ground al
most black with prairie chickens. They
are becoming tame, according to Mr..
Smithe, who says one morning he dis
covered a little girl feeding some of
them.
Some Of the citizens Of Fessenden are
seriously thinking of tanning some of
the wild chickens and by tender care,
changing their wild habits to the pros
aic habits Of the barnyard fowl

Dr. Cook.

pretty fair value for the land and he
has the land left. MIR. Smith, in his
seven. years residence in the Golden
Valley, has seen land sell from So TO

hts income from flax this year would
readily pay for the average land.
Think Of TT Paying for land with one

of which the same may be said7
Mr.. Smith is SO we'll satisfied with
his first seasons experience at the
farming game that he plans to en-
large his garden" next year and will
put In 5000 acres OF flax.
He is not plunger, and is taking
no chances, other than are taken by

which the Golden Valley has never

STATE COAL Mine
INSPECTION REPORT

Bismarck. NJ D., Dec. 31.--The state
engineer, who is ex-officio state coal
mine inspector. has peen actively en-
gagged during the past two months
making an annual inspection Of the
mines as provided by law. Jay w.
Bliss, assistant of the state engineer,
has made personal examinations Of
about four f1fths of the mines, and
from the mines already inspected it is
estimated that the total output for
1909 will be slightly less than for 1908.
The output for 1909 will be about $780,
600 tons. while the output for 1908 was
$4,000 tons. There are 835 men en-
ployed in the ninety-six coal mines
now in operation. Many of the mines
only operate during the fall and winter
months.
1t is generally known that North
Dakota contains a large area of work
able veins of Ignite COAL and an esti-
mated total tonnage of workable coal
of five hundred billion tons. Thus far
only four billion tons have been min
ed. The beds are usually horizontal
and at a depth of from lfty to 200
feet beneath the surface. Cur Ignite
coal is exceptionally free from sulphur
which is so common in the eastern BIZ
luminous Goals and it contains only 8
per cent of ash, while eastern bitumin-
Gus Goals contain from to 20 per
cent. Properly burned, North Dakota
Ignite never clinkers. The fuel testing
department of the United States geo.
logical survey located at Pittsburg, is
making extended investigations into
the problem of briquetting Ignite, and
Prof. Babcock of our school of mines
at Grand Forks, is likewise making
this problem a study and 1t seems quite
probable that within a short time the
manufacture of briquettes from our
own Ignite will be profitable business
The state engineer believes that the
most important method of handling our
Ignite coal and the method which will
prove extremely profitable to North
Dakota, is the manufacture of producer
power gas. The United States fuel
testing department has made exhaus-
tive tests with this Ignite in the gas
producer plants and surprisingly sue
cessful results have been obtained.
They have found that North Dakota
Ignite burned in the gas producer will

Court At Stanley In January.

Minot, Dec. 31.-Judge Goss has is
sued a call for a jury for the January
term OF court to commence on Jan. "a.
Prior to that time he will hold court
at Stanley, commencing Jan. 10. The
Stanley Sun says of the approaching
term:
The first regular term of district
court will be held at Stanley. Judge
Goss has issued an order that he viii
hold court commencing Jan. 10 and
continuing until the calendar is clear
ed. This will be jury term and the
sheriff will be busy summoning a
jury within the next few days. There
are sixty eight cases to be tried, for
ty-seven of which are civil cases, and
twenty criminal cases. Judge
Goss had not expected 70 hold term
of court in Mountrail county until late
in February but due to the fact that
the calendar in Ward county is one
of the largest they have ever had,
Judge Goss has decided to hold a term
in Mountrail at this time and as soon
as he is through here he will call the
calendar in Ward. It is expected it
will take several months to hear the
large number of cases TO bet ried in
Ward county. Among the cases to be
tried here will be those Of John Will
liams of Tagus who is charged with
bootlegging; Valentine JasmanSa,
charged with assault with intent to
kill, and Mike F1atla Of Plaza, charged
with violating the prohibition law. All
these parties are held in the Noun
trail county Jail awaiting trial.

tinct for ten or twelve hours
The remains were taken to Gilbert

ers residing in Coulee township arriv-
ed early this morning to care for the
remains and arrange for the funeral
