ter on any farm, but not always easy
TO make the time profitable for them.
1t takes real courage on the part OF
the average ,ather to give the son his
whole time and board him free, when
he might be cleaning up the farm or
helping them make money; but give the
lad a fair chance in winter and he will
stand by you next summer. just show
him that he can make more on the
farm than in town and he won't want
to go to town. There are many temp
tations for the young man away from
home, especially for the young man
who is yet boy. and if he can be kept
at home until he is past twenty one
the farmer can feel that he has done
well if he did make some sacrifices to
accomplish the end. And the boy will
be SO proud and happy that it will be
a delight just to see him absorb knowl-

and its chances At any rate, it does
no harm to try it, and later in life the
boy will thank you for your thought

Young man can in the winter make up
for the apparently low wages OF sum-

taking it out of the family purse. Many
men would like to send their sons to

it might be the worst thing possible Tor
the boys. The best plan, as many Ia
theirs have found out, is to help the
boy to help himself and keep HIM so
busy and with so much money flowing
into his pocket as to drive out all
thoughts OF deserving the farm.
Some may have taken up the plan

in town wants to buy a flock OF sheep
and put it out i'll the care OF farmer

The boy must buy the feed and take all
care OF the stock all winter, thereby

of the clues have, and there is moth

considers the shooting of Wheeler one

From Thursdays Daily.
While Dominick Oster was driving
along South Front street at shortly
before nine o'clock this forenoon, when
near Brett's store; street car No.
came along and collision occurred.
Mr.. Oster was thrown from his buggy
and struck his shoulder on the pave
ment. He blamed the street car crew
for the accident, but the latter dis
claimed responsibility. Several spec.
tators were also inclined to blame the
street car company, but Thomas Cor
man of st. Peter, who claimed to have
seen the accident, exonerated the COM
pany.
According to Mr.. German, Mr. Oster,
when he heard or saw the car coming,
was driving along the track ahead OF
it. He at once tried to turn his
buggy out OF the way, but the wheel
got caught in the groove of the rail,
and he was tipped out, and afterwards
the car struck the buggy.
MFR. 0ster fortunately escaped with
some bruises, and his buggy was not
badly damaged.
Manager Hance stated that nine peo-
pie out of ten do not look to see if a
car is coming before attempting to
cross the track.

you know, Ibsen is greatly misunder-

those who judge him hardly are the
very ones who, have never read his
works--and that is scarcely just, is it?
l think that one should always be
sure of ones ground first before con-
demning, and it is impossible Tor any
one to Judge Ibsen, who has written
so many plays on SO many different
subjects. He is recognized by
the highest critics as master drama

his writings have influenced the work
of all the foremost dramatists of the
present day. | have met people who
have argued upon the ground that he
is immoral i'll his writings. but that is
a grave mistake, for Ibsen is one OF
the greatest teachers that has ever
spoken through the medium of tie
drama. Some of the subjects he has
dealt with are certainly not pleasant
but they contain the hard truth, and
If we arc going TO turn our backs on
the unpleasant things in life how can
we ever hope to bring about reform?
Many of the great social reforms OF
today have been instigated by plays i'll
which the dramatist has called the at
tention of the public to certain evils

people who prefer to go through life
with their eyes closed to the seamy
side of it. 1t was Ibsen who first led
he way by awakening people to an
idea of their responsibilities in the
world. And because he struck boldly
and laid bare evils that have long
leeded correction, he surprised and
shocked by the very truth that he re-

There was trouble Oh the Milwaukee
and Northwestern roads in this Sec

road, an extra freight ran into the
rear coach OF Local No in the yards
at Lakefeld completely demolished the
car, toppled the engine over to the
side track and telescoped a freight
car. No one was in the car at the
time of the accident, and the members
of the freight trains crew escaped by
jumping through the cab windows be-
fore the crash came. The crew of the
local, with the rest of the train, was
in the lower yard switching. Misun-
derstanding of orders is supposed to
have been the cause of the accident.
The eastbound morning passenger on
the Northwestern road was held up at
Owatonna in the morning. This was
caused by the falling of drawbar
from a Milwaukee freight car on the
crossing. The Northwestern train ran
into the obstruction and derailed the
engine.

Joseph Maier, "a Russian jew who
came to this country in August after
travelling around the world while en-
ployed on a steamship, was arrested
yesterday afternoon on warrant got
ten out by Paul Stavenan, a fellow
employee at the gas works, on the
charge of assault in the third degree.
Staveman told the court that the as
sault was unprovoked, but Maier said
that Stavenan and others kept calling
him "Sheeney" until he got mad and
struck Stavenan ON the side of his
face. Stavenan was knocked down
and rendered unconscious by the blow,
but soon came to. He denied having
called Maier "Sheeney."
Judge COmstock fined Maier So and
costs and told him that in this coun:
try there was another way to right
grievances. Maier asked how he could
punish his prosecutors if he could not
whip them, and was told that he could
make complaint and bring them before
the court, and this seemed to satisfy
him.

The attention of Chief Pond was
called Friday evening to a piece of
righteousness done. by number of
boys III South . Bend, ranging in age
from twelve to fourteen years. They
went to work after dark and placed
three rows of stones across the road
just at the top of the hill leading
down into South Bend from the north
These stones were many of them large
and heavy. If team had been driven
into them some bad accident might
have resulted. Drivers of automobiles
would discover them by the lights be.
fore running into the Instructions, but
the principal hardship would fall on
the farmers and other drivers OF
horses. Even runaways down. the hill
might have resulted.
Chief Pond made inquiries and
learned the names of some of the boys
When seen, they denied it, but ii
was learned that these boys had been
to see other boys and try to get them
to join. They removed the stones from
the road. 1t is likely that the gang
will be brought before the court in a
few days and punished for their ras.
cality.
