their spring seeding. From present
indications rye promises to be nor
NAL crop but winter wheat is almost a
total failure.

VAN HISE,S REPLY.

"The state superintendent has never
been able to discriminate between the
| scope of a university and a high
school, He apparently thinks the
university is nothing more than big
high school; whereas the university is
a continuation of the high school work
and something vastly larger.
"If the question were asked the pub
endowed universities in the country,
the answer would probably include five
or all of the following: Chicago, CO.
lumbia, Cornell, Harvard, Johns Hop
kins, Yale. 1t is the desire of the
people of the state that the University
of Wisconsin shall approach these in
stitutions? These institutions, accord
ing to the catalogues at hand, have
graduate students as follows: Chicago,
l 1888; Columbia, 1909; Harvard, GIL;
John Hopkins, 62S; Yale, 1856; Cornell,
372. At the University of Wisconsin
the number of eradicate students for
the current year il 1856. AS compared
with the endowed institutions, we for
tunately find ourselves in respectable
position.
"While, therefore, the university
has not neglected it's advanced work, it
has shown an exceptional regard for
the needs of the people, as is shown by
the establishment of its extension di-
vision for the people of the entire
state. Along these lines and, in fact
in all it's general work, the University
of Wisconsin is recognized as a leader.
"Was the state superintendent, who
is ex of1icio regent of the university,
aware of these facts when he wrote his
letter saying that the work of the
freshman and sophomore years was
placed in the hands of young and in
efficient men, or did he wilfully and
deliberately aim to deceive the public
by gross misrepresentation of the
facts?

PYTHON DONE UP IN SPLINTS
Interesting Surgical Operation Per-
formed on Reptile at the
Zoo in London.

A second operation has just been
performed on the great python at the
Geological Gardens, who fractured his
jaw while swallowing a goat few
weeks ago.
After the jaw and head had been
enveloped in a rigid casing for
couple of weeks he began to shed his
skin. 1t was impossible for the pa.
tient to complete the shedding while
the head was bound up, and the ban
Gage was therefore removed. The
bones of the jaw, it was found, had
partly reunited.
With his head free again the python
was obviously in the best of spirits,
and celebrated the occasion by swal-
lowing a duck. The skin Of the head
was then shed, including the trans
parent outer lenses of the eye. After
ward it was decided to replace the
plaster of paris.
Awaiting a moment when the giant
reptile was coiled in his tank, six
heavy keepers crawled into his cage,
each carrying stout board. These
We're quickly slid over the top OF the
tank while the operators sought for
the injured head through an opening
between two of the boards. Once the
neck was seized the six heavy keep
ers sprang on the boards and were
ordered to sit tight, thus forming a
living room. AS the powerful coils
heaved inside the tank the heavy
keepers were lifted up bodily, but
their combined weight was too much
for the heavy python, and the splint
and bandages We're rapidly replaced.
1t will be some weeks before the
bandages are removed and meantime
the python will not be able to eat or
see. When | visited him in his cage
during the weekend he seemed rath
er sorry for himself.-London Mail.

QUEER TOWN is IR0NSPORT
Nobody in Ohio Village Writes Let
ters, Gets Arrested or Stays
Out Late.

The most remarkable town in Ameri-
ca, in some respects at least Is to be
found among the hills of southern
Ohio. 1t is Transport. with 700 in
habitants, ten miles east Of Zanes-
Vile.
The 1ronsport postofflce was closed
October 81 because Joseph Barney,
the postmaster, said he had not sold
a single stamp in five weeks nor had
he received any incoming or outgoing
mails. The people explain that they
have no friends to write to and that
they are all too busy to write any
how.
There has not been an idle man in
Ironsport since 1909. The mines are
running full time and every miner
owns his own home. Some time ago
The police department disbanded, the
chief declaring there had been no ar
rests made within six months and that
1t Is only waste of public money to
keep salaried policemen.
The village records one fire In two
years and the damage then was 5000.
A recent census showed that ,Ae
population Is composed of 637 Irish
men, II Welshmen and 81 Germans.
Until October, 1911, there were only
IL men and women in Transport who
had "no church" A GAINESVILLE priest
recently reported that he had succeed
ed in converting these IL persons.
The school teachers of Ironsport,
four in number, declare that Ironsport
children are unusually bright, owing
to the moral influence of the town. Not
since a circus visited Ironsport three
years ago has there been person seen
on the streets 50 late as midnight

view, is it worth all the pother that is

TO RE|NsTATE AIGAT..0WL
Schedule VIII Be Completed and
Train Put In Service Within
Next Ten Days.

The Owl, the wellknown night
train between Houston and Dallas
over the Houston & Texas Central,
will be put back into service at an
early date. The decision to reinstate
the train was reached at conference
of traffic officials Wednesday morn
ing at the offices of the Southern Pa
cific. No date has been set for the
operation of the first train, but 1t was
stated Wednesday afternoon by c. X.
Dunlap that the service will be re-
sumed some time within the next ten
days and possibly the next week.
The Owl has always been one OF
the best known trains in Texas 1t
formerly left Houston at 11:45 o'clock
at night and reached Dallas the next
morning in time for passengers to at
tend to any business at an early hour
II is possible that the old schedule
will be resumed, though few slight
changes may be made.
The Owl was taken off last winter
when so many other trains were dis
continued in various portions of the
state on account OF the spinal menin-
gifts epidemic. At that time SO many
of the towns along the line were quar-
antined that travel was cut down to
almost nothing.
1t was stated Wednesday that the
Owl was being put back because of
the heavy demand being made for the
through night train. This train will
make direct connections with other
lines, assuring through service to
points in the North and East
Traffic officials of the Southern Pa
cifc have been wanting to reinstate
the Owl for many months, but were
unable to get the. consent of the oper-
ating department. During the close
of Mr. Fay's administration this ques-
tion, like many others, was held up
for the approval of the new president.

be run by all means He is now tour
