ADJUSTMENTS
The Irish Plays.
By H. T. Webster.

When we have dwelt for many
months in a metropolis, and dressed
for dinner every night, and eXchang-
ed small talk concerning trivialities,
and grown exceedingly clever and wit
ty and graceful and urbane, there
comes a time for us to break away
it is the time when violets are peep
ing-to far places where people have
no manners, where they talk from the
heart instead of from the head and
where a wide earth is swept with
winds all murmurOus with whispers
from the sea, and at night there is a
sky of man stars. The theater has
its seasons also: and when the drama
has grown too clever and urbane, too
artistic and too trivial, it is time to
break away. For, somewhere, terrific
IA are urging on forlorn coasts far
away. and simple folk are making
music to each other nj imaginative
speech.
Riders of the Sea-" which is one
of the three Irish plays to he present.
ed at the Metropolitan, Monday,
March 81, is one Of those primitive
plays which take back to nature.
1t is a weird tragedy. full of the rush
and dash OF the sea.

State Normal School. Mayville, n.
yesterday and the spring term will
open on April S. This has been a
very satisfactory term from all points.
The attendance has been good and
the students have done very good
work, attending to their duties rather
tina trying to pass time away. The
various social affairs of the term have
been well attended and of an enjoy
able nature indeed.
Several graduates of the school have
been visitors during this week due to
the Easter vacation in their several
schools. Among these are MIR. Ward
and Miss Kern Of Colgate, Mr.. Kern Of
Walcott. MIR. .Arnestad of Colgate and
Miss Ruth Anderson of Northwood.
Professor and Mrs. Wilkinson are
the proud parents Of a little Miss Will
kinSon who arrived on Easter sunday.
We have not heard whether her name
is Easter or Esther. but we knew that
she is all right and weighs eight
pounds.
The faculty selected Miss Fairchild
of Grand Forks. Miss Julia Oakland of
Aneta. Miss Alta Peterson of Mayville
and Harris Rude Of Towner to repre-
sent the class on commencement night
as class speakers. These are good rep
resentatives and will reflect credit up
on the work of the school.
The plays put on by the department
of expression were indeed a credit to
the department and to the school.
They We're the morality play THE
Hour Glass and a bit Of comedy, "a
Pot of Broth" both by W. B.. Yeats.
The plays were we'll staged and the
students in the plays took their parts
we'll. The audience enjoyed the even
ing greatly.
Superintendent and Mrs. Houseman
of Hope are spending the week as
guests of Mr.. and Mrs. Th%araldsen.
The board Of management Of the
normal schools of North Dakota will
meet in Mayville on April / when the
old board will close it's business and
turn the affairs of the schools over
to the newly appointed board which
will then hold it's first meeting.

NEW ROCKFORD A 1
Sheriff Takes Into Custody Gang of
Alleged B~OOtle-cers.

New Rockford, y. D.. March IS
Sheriff Geo. F. Fahrer conducted a
raid. taking in custody a gang of all
legged hootleggers who have been hi
bernating the past winter in a cook
car down by the roller mills. Those
arrested answered to the names OF
Chas. Olker. John Brown. John
Mooney. Geo. Daughters and Andy
Hoy. The preliminary examinations
are being conducted before Police
Magistrate Thos. Nesbit. and the gang
will doubtless all he bound over to
stand trial at the May term of the
district court. when. if they are con-
victed. six months in the state pen
will be the least penalty they can es-
cape under the new law passed by the
last legislative session. The COM
bination was nicely organized and
evidently working under the impress
sion the present authorities We're easy.
The said authorities. however. baited
the hooks and set out the lines. The
smaller fry bit readily, but several
weeks were required before the old
nible now and then. and finally he
could resist no longer, and took bait,
hook. cork n line. the authorities
having a hard time to hang on to the
pole. The officers rather regretted
to quit the sport. but have evidence
enough to clean up the whole school.
HI present sheriff and states at
torney hav served in their present
capacities before. hence have the en-
perience. and the way they handled
this matter shows they need no urg-
ing. for they somewhat resemble the
proNerbial preacher-they dearly love.

ANCIENT
The Thought of 1t Makes the PAM
pcred Modern Man SILVER.
(Chicago oJurnal.)

(Chicago oJurnal.)
The student who delves into some
branches of history comes to wonder
whether his ancient ancestors had
such things as nerves. They cared
little for the sufferings of others, as IS
shown by their barbarous penal code.
But apparently they were almost as
callous to suffering for themselves.
Nearly every surgical instrument
used by a skillful eye specialist today
can be found depicted on the tombs
of ancient Egypt. or seen at the muse.
UNI at Naples among objects rescued
from Pompeii and H%erculaneum.
These instruments were for use, not
for ornament, and they were for use
on free men. because slaves were
cheap. The ancients nae no anaes-
thetics. They submitted to having
their eyes carved and whitfield while
1t makes the pampered modern man
shiver.
Ancient Peru showed amazing in
difference to pain, though in this case
the Unborn callousness of the Indian
race is a factor. Trephining, or re-
moving a portion of the skull. was a
common operation among the Incas.
So many skulls have been found with
windows cut in them that the student
Is tempted to ask whether the an
cient Peruvians did this sort Of thing
for fun. Probably the true explana-
ton is that it had some connection
with religious beliefs and ceremonies
In the matter of enduring pain,
most moderns are u breed of molly,
coddles-with no intent of reforming.
They will bear suffering If the need is
pressing and the benefit sure, as when
a man gets a badly fractured leg in
the woods, far from anaesthetics. The
ancients submitted to the most fright
full maulings. just on the bare chance
that it might do them some good.
