Is the tune of the hickory stick" to

preme Court OF the United States?
That is a question it will be called up
on to decide between now and vacation
days. If the court gives its approval to
this method of discipline, Annie Kel-
ley, an Illinois teacher, will escape
from school squabble with no great

In 1906 Miss Kelley was teaching in
the primary department of the public
schools of Tolono, Champaign County,

has just filed in the Supreme Court,
Michael Burke, II years old, was not
as good as he could be. In the pres
ence of the school on Dee 6, 1906, so
Miss Kelley tells the court, he com
mitted a breach of proper decorum by
using vulgar and profane language at
and toward your petitioner and jerking
her upon the floor and striking and
kicking her." After the principal had
ordered her to chastise Michael, she
f1ogged him with pointer When the
Burkes brought a suit for damages
against her, alleging trespass and 9th
er things, the State courts returned
Judgment against Miss Kelley.
After the judgment Miss Kelley was
declared bankrupt On the ground
that the national bankrupt law does
not discharge a person from payment
of a debt incurred through the commit
ting of ''willful and malicious injuries
to the person or property of another
Miss Kelley was arrested under an Il
linois statute for failure to satisfy the
judgment, She went into the federal
courts for her discharge The dis
trict court of the United States for the
Eastern District of Illinois found that
the debt was not incurred through will
full and malicious injuries. The Cir
cult Court of Appeals reversed the
judgment. Miss Kelley now has asked
the Supreme Court to review her case.

Para1ytic Stroke.
Bjornstjerne Bjornson, the famous
Norwegian novelist, playwright, poet
and publicist, died at the Hotel Wa
gram in Paris in Paris the other night
in the 18th year of his age His wife,
whom he married f1fty-two years ago,

was growing better. The change came
Unexpectedly.
Bjornstjerne Bjornson was born near
the town of MoIdo, Norway, December
8, 1882. Poet, novelist, dramatist, 1e-
former and apostle of peace, two herad-
itary traits dominated in his charac-
ter-the placid nature, which he drew
from his father, a country parson,
and the fighting spirit, which came TO
him from his more remote ancestors,
the old Morse sea-rovers. He was
known as the Prophet-Poet Of Norway.
Toward him the people looked for
guidance, and with his cudgels he
fought in the cause of truth and JUS
tice.
At the age of 20 he entered the Uni
versity of Christiania, and while there
began writing in a serious vein. After
two years as writer and editor he be-
came the director Of the Bergen Thea
ter. This was in 1857. The next few
years were devoted to travel and resi-
dence in Denmark, Germany and Italy,
and then Bjornson went back to Nor
way for ten years. He began the series
of plays which conquered the Norwe-
gian stage and also invaded the Dan
ish, Swedish and German theaters. As
Bjornson grew older he went into poll
tics as a reformer.
