As IN HIS CHILDHOOD DAYS.
Probably Many Years Since Bishop
Had Been So TenderIy Cared For.

Al an unusually large dinner party,
where the guest Of honor was an Eng
lish bishop the butler, an elderly
man, was obliged to bring in from a
friends house an inexperienced lad to
help him In the dinning-room. The
awkward helper annoyed the butler
beyond endurance with questions as to
his duties.
He continued interminably until the
butler, worn out AID nervous, said ir-
ronically:
"All you will need TO do Is to stand
behind the bishops chair, and when
ever his lordship puts down his glass
you must reach over and wipe his
mouth with q napkin"
That silenced his assistant. But the
young man actually took the order
seriously, and as soon as dinner be-
gan he stationed himself behind the
bishop, waited till his lordship had
drunk and put down his glass, and
then, as deliberately as his nervous.
ness would permit. he opened out a
large napkin and wiped the dignified
old gentleman's mouth!-Ladies' Home

SERVED AS HIS LADYS MAID.
Romantic Manner of Weoinq That
Won Love Of Young Russian
Widow for Her Admirer.

A st. Petersburg paper publishes
details of a Russian romance In which
figures the wealthy and beautiful
young Baroness Urusoff, the widow OF
distinguished Russian government
official.
All the young cavaliers OF Moscow
were hopelessly in love with her. The
baroness, however, rejected all at
tempts to obtain an introduction to
Der and lived in perfect seclusion. at
tended only by an elderly relative
Some months ago young peasant
girl began to visit the residence Of
the baroness, Offering the servants
cheap articles for sale. Subsequently
the baroness used to buy different ar.
tcles from the peasant, who was in
tefligent, had good manners and con-
siderable conversational talents.
The baroness eventually asked the
girl whether she would enter her serv.
Ice as lady's maid. She agreed and
discharged her duties to perfection for
fortnight and then revealed her
self as a young Russian nobleman
named Maximoff, who, taking advan-
tage Of his fair hair and complexion,
had masqueraded as domestic serv-
ant to break down the barriers With
which the beautiful baroness had sur.
rounded herself.
The baroness was so much i'm.
pressed by his extraordinary perse-
verance that she became engaged to
him, and the marriage took place .

CONDEMN OLO LIBRARY BUILDING.

The building that for many years
housed the public library Of the city of
Manitowoc has been condemned by Fire
Chief Kratz and is to be torn down,
The building, which is of frame, stands
on York Street just east of seventh. 1t
wasamong the first buildings construct
ed within the limits of the city and for
several years was used by K. K. Jones
az general store building. In the
early fifties Mr.. Jones donated the
building TO the city for library purposes
and it was used for many years as the
public library of the city. Later when
through the efforts of some of the lead
ing citizens of the city, the new library
building was procured, the use of the
building in question was discontinued,
and it has been unused since that time.
It's condemnation now is due to the
fact that because Of its construction
and age it is deemed to be dangerous IN
case of fire. 1t IL company with many
other of the older buildings will soon
be torn down because of this fact.

CIRCUIT COURT NOTES.

The case of August Bergelin OF Glib
son against August Ullman OF Kossuth,
was finished last Friday.
Bergelin who is q brother-in'law OF
Ullmann's and who lives on an adjoin'
ing farm brought suit against Ullmann
for damage done to a piece of timber
which he owned, by fire, set by Ull'
mann last November, and which got in
to Bergelin's property. The defense
claimed that there was no negligence on
Ullmanns part either in the setting OF
the fire or in the care used in trying to
prevent it from spreading after it was
started. The jury agreed with the de-
fendant in this and the plaintiff sued
for two thousand dollars, the jury
found that he was damaged only to the
extent of $3.50. The finding that the
defendant was not guilty OF negligence
in his actions in the matter will probab'
ly result in his not being held for even
the amount of damages allowed or
found to have been suffered py the pam
tiff.
The differences between Horal Mel
son and Henry G. kress growing out OF
their ownership of the Herald Press
publishing company has occupied the at
tention of the Court from Friday after
noon and will go to the jury this evening.
The issue in this matter is the ownership
of three and one third shares OF the stock
of the Herald Press Company which
each of the litigants claims to be the
owner of. The evidence in the case
covers almost the entire period since
the formation of the company mention
ed by the merging of the Daily Herald
and the Times. Press more than nine
years ago.

TEACHERS INSTITUTE, AUG. $50.
The Teachers Institute for Manitowoc
County will be held at the South Side
High School, crmmencing Aug. and
continuing two weeks. The superin-
tendent desires all teachers to be pres
ent for enrolment at 900 A. NJ. on the
opening day of the institute. Make up
your mind to start the first day and con
tinue for ten days. The district people
are paying you well for your service,
and you ought to spare no means in
giving the best in return. The insti-
tute is your school for two weeks this
summer School boards in hiring teach
ers should keep in mind that regular at.
tendance at an institute is good quail
tication to possess. When school opens
next fall, ask your teacher whether she
has attended the institute. State Supt.
Cary in his Institute Circular urges
more regular attendance. With refer
ence to Normal graduates he says An
examination of the institute registers
reveals the fact that few of the gradu-
ates of Normal schools attend annual
institutes. To keep abreast with the
best in the educational field all gradu.
ates of these schools should attend and
take an active part in all institutes and
| tea chers' meetings" No effort has been
spared in preparing u good program.
Some of the subjects ought to appeal to
every teacher. City teachers will find
some of the work of immediate benefit
to them. The following branches will
be taken up, others if necessary:

les, Agriculture, Nature Study, Draw.
