IN OBEDIENCE TO ORDERS
French Boy Caused Merriment oy
Taking the Order OF the Court
Too Literally.

A droll incident is reported as nav
ing taken place in one of the pro-
vincial appeal courts in France. A
boy. about IA, was summoned to give
evidence, and his appearance was such
as to move the whole court to laughter
He wore a long redingote, peculiar to
the Basque country, and immense
boots. His trousers, collar and nat
were unquestionably those OF a man.
The court was convulsed, and the
president asked the boy how he dared
to treat the court in such manner.
The boy seemed as surprised as the
president, and taking out the citation
from his pocket, read the formula In
viting him, "Comparaitre dams les at
flares de son pere." (To appear In

STATE TREASURER Is VICTOR
of All Liability in the Hudson
Securities Case.

Madison.-Judge Stevens Of the
circuit court has sustained the de-
murrer entered by State Treasurer
A. H. Dahl to the complaint of
Henry T. Sheldon, receiver of the
Savings, Loan and Trust company of
Hudson, Wis. for the recovery of
$4,000, which represents securities
deposited by the company with the
state treasurer and which were
turned back to the company by him.
The Hudson company, after en-
countering financial difficulties, de-
posted the bonds with the state Of
fcers, who held them one year after
the company had filed notice of
dissolution, and then returned them.
The company later went into the
hands of a receiver, Henry T. Shell
don, who brought suit against the
state treasurer, claiming he had no
authority to return the securities
after the company had dissolved.
The court held that he had this
authority and relieved him of all liza
bility in the matter.

TEXT BOOK PRICES TOO HIGH |
States for Identical Volumes, Is
Charge at Assembly Hearing.

MISUNDERSTANDING revelations re-
garding the differences in prices of
identical school books bought in
Wisconsin and in states where a
uniform adoption" law is in effect
were given at the hearing in the as
sembly on the Mahon bill creating a
state text book commission
Under the terms of the bill the
members of the commission receive
no pay, but they are given authority
to decide what books shall be used
and to make contracts with publish
ers under which the latter may not
allow the books to be sold for more
than a stipulated price at all points
in the state.
The statement is made by Assem-
blyman Mahon that the passage of
his bill would save the people of the
state at least 100000 a year for
each adoption period of five years,
and he declared that investigation
shows that Wisconsin pays from 20
to 80 per cent more for the same
school books as are used in Iowa,
Alabama, Indiana and other states
having uniformity law.
Astonishing figures were given at
the hearing by j. T. Gufin, repre-
senting the Allied Printing Trades
council of Chicago, which as a purely
educational matter is backing the
bill. Mr.. Guffin told how he had been
making trips to all parts of the state,
buying school books which are the
ton states. Some of his compare
tive prices were as follows:
Frye's Higher Cor GRAMMAR &C.
ography-88 cents in Iowa; $125 in
Wisconsin.
Mines Standard Arithmetic-54
cents in Iowa; 81 in Wisconsin.
Tarbell's Complete Geography-S3
cents in Iowa; $11O in Wisconsin.
Mr.. Gufin produced the actual
books which he had purchased, and
has gone even so far as to paste in
the covers receipted bills for the
volumes, together with an affidavit
Of Identification by an unbiased wit
ness to the transaction, to show that
The books we're identical. He de-
clared that the "book trust has Wis
consin still in it's clutches, and that
the combines power is so strong that
this state is far behind in the quality
of the text books, because the pub
fishers are able, by hook Or crook,
to keep obsolete books in use.
