Wanted to Sell Her Leo

Willing, she asserts, to sacrifice u
finger, foot, arm or leg in an effort to
relieve her poverty, woman, whose
name was not divulged, living In
Govans, has written to the physicians
of Franklin Square hospital with Nm
unusual and pathetic appeal for iin6n-
cial assistance.
The letter conveys, say the physi
clans, sad story of much suffering
as the result Of poverty by woman
who was once in good circumstances
but who has recently been reduced to
abject restitution. She named nc
specific price for her sacrifice, accord
ing to the doctors, but asked for an
early reply II her offer was to be con
sidered. The only restriction that she
made was that her name be kept .

there was felt to be an urgent need OF
a strong central power For many
years the republic mad been desolated

for peace-peace almost at any price.
Now, peace could be secured only by
the ascendancy of single man, rul-
ing with absolute and irresistible
sway. s., the people acquiesced in the
change. They even hailed 1t with joy.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

The Manitowoc- Sheboygan basket
ball game which took place at Turner
hall, Friday evening was another vic
tory for Manitowoc. The score was 80
to %. The game was exciting through
out and both sides put up good hight.
! The feature of the game was the work
of VIM. Schwartz who played for

Leave it to Mr.. Eddy to find ways of
of encouraging high school spirit. We
believe he is the originator Of a plan
to hold a carnival on April 18th at the
Park school. The proceeds will be
turned into the athletic department.
Ii will be on the order OF the street
carnivals in that they will present
everything from vaudeville to the
"worlds wonders" One of the fea-
lures will be a wireless telegraph out
fit and the sending of messages through
the school.
On Friday evening occurs the game
between our team and that of Menasha
at the Park GIN. If Manitowoc is sue
cessful it means good chances of a
place in the tournament to be held at
Appleton some time in March. Our
school has certainly had successful
year at basket ball.
Manitowoc was represented at the
the Northeastern teachers meeting
held at Oshkosh last Friday and Sat
urday by Supt. Zimmers, Prof. Stangel
and Miss Harrington. Prof. Stangel
was chosen a member of the executive
committee. The next meeting will be
held at Green Bay.
Graeme O'Geran has completed the
High School course but as there is no
mid-winter graduating exercises he
