DAKOTA CONSERVATORY.

That the friends of the conservatory
and the Western School of Express
sion are very much interested in these
two institutions was evidenced by the
large number, who attended, in spite
Of a heavy rain, Monday evening to
witness the commencement exercises
held at Stones auditorium. An au-
dience of nearly 500 people was pres
ent. Green and white streamers were
strung between the chandeliers while
the stage was banked with flowers
and ferns and ornamented by a huge
IL of white flowers on a green back
ground. The programme which pre-
ceded the awarding of the diplomas
was rendered exclusively by students
of the two schools and proved to be
one Of rare merit. After the pro-
gramme Prof. Edwin T. Reed OF the
Moorhead normal gave an able address
TO the graduates which was equally as
much enjoyed by every one present,
His theme was The Things That Are
More Excellent. Immediately follow
ing the address the awarding of the
diplomas took place Mrs. Remington
speaking on behalf OF the Western
School OF Expression and Director
Boehmer addressing the graduating
class of the conservatory. The clos
Ing feature of the programme consist
ed of a composition by Liszt played by
sixteen young ladies on eight pianos.
AS the young women all arrayed in
white marched forward through the
auditorium towards the platform the
audience broke out in enthusiastic
applause and the demonstration was
repeated after the last note was
struck. The rhythm and shading was
SO perfect that 1t seemed as though
there was not more than one player.
The concert was a decided success
and will long be remembered by ev-
eryone present.

SERVED IN A COLD PIE.
Sir Jeffrey Hudson's Introduction to
Queen Henrietta.

Perhaps the most remarkable dwarf
OH record was Sir Jeffrey Hudson. the
little fellow whom Scott introduces in
"Peveril Of the Peak" He was born
in Rutlandshire, England, in 1919.
When eight years of age he was pre-
sented by the Duke Of Buckingham to
Queen Henrietta in cold pie. He aft.
erward became attached to the court Of
Charles /. At one Of the court masks
the kings porter, a man of gigantic
size, who used TO torment the little
dwarf, pulled from one pocket loaf of
bread and from the other Jeffrey, much
to the surprise and amusement of the
company present. Jeffrey was at this
time only eighteen inches in height.
He remained at this stature until he
was thirty years of age, after which
curious exception to the laws Of growth
took place. since Jeffrey rapidly grew
to be three feet nine inches in height.
whereas most men do not grow quar-
ter Of an inch after the age of thirty.
This dwarf had an enormous head and
very large hands and feet; otherwise
his proportions were symmetrical and
his face was considered handsome.

NAVAL DIscI7! I'VE.
Punishmsnts That Are Melted Out to
British Sailors.


For ineraction OF regulations some
curious punishments are nieted ont in
the English navy. 1t In IN every day
occurrence, says the London rit-Rits.
to see half dozen sailors lined up ON
deck facing the paint work. holding
their hammocks on their shoulders. At
first the hammock isn't heavy, but aft
er an hour or SO 1t drags on ones
shoulders like lead. Besides. 1t is not
at all entertaining to stare iixedly mt n
square foot of painted woodwork for
an hour or more ut n time.
Another punishment that Jack de
spises Is bailing with a spoon. He Is
placed upon the deck. with two large
wooden buckets. one filed with water
and the other empty. With spoon he
must dip all the water from one buck
ct and transfer it to the other. being
meanwhile the butt Of his comrades
jests and jeers.
Sometimes IA delinquent is made to
walk slowly backward and forward
along the deck. nursing in his arms a
six inch projectile weighing little
over 100 pounds. Once sailor who
laughed at the stammering speech Of
his commander was made to stand
upon the forebridge in full view of the
ships crew and laugh for IN hour and
half.
Splitting upon the deck of a man-of-
war is strictly prohibited. Cuspidors
are placed at intervals along the deck,
and these must be used. Upon some
ships when sailor is caught splitting
upon the deck small tub is strapped
to his chest. and he Is made to wear 1t.
Any one who chooses may use this
walking receptacle. The offender thus
punished rarely repeats his offense.

The White Ship.

The age of chivalry is supposed to
be that age when young men dressed
themselves up in armor and pounded
one another with lances and swords.
It is perhaps well to recall the story
of the White Ship. which in the year
112O carried to England the grandson
Of the Norman conqueror. This ship
was captained by the son of the man
who had steered across the conqueror
himself. The ship sank. There was
only one lifeboat. The young prince
was put in that, to be rowed away.
His sister screamed. He put back to
save her also. So many leaped into
the boat from the sinking ship that all
were drowned except one butcher,
who clung to the mast The passengers
on this ship were 40 picked and no.
