the water out of its banks on to the
low land. In an hour the water began
to fall, and all hands rolled OF the
salt. Everybody who would work was
hired to help. The unloading contin-
ued all night without interruption I'M
til four o'clock In the morning.
1t was then observed that the mar
row stream was not wide enough by
ten feet to turn the boat around.
Every available tool was put into use
by deckhands and the bank of the
river was dug down low enough to al
low the stern of the boat to back into
It,. and by the aid Of ropes and cap
stan the turn was made.
The unloading was completed, and
at five o'clock the race for deep water
began. The wood supply was running
low when woodward was seen In the
miles below Suns Point No time was
lost in tying up and appropriating all
the wood In the yard, and the little
steamer was on her way to escape
the shallow water The mouth Of the
Usage below Jefferson City was
reached before noon the following
day.
Major Melton left his brother in
charge of the salt at Suns Point, and
In week he had sold the last Of his
boatload of salt ard was returning
with $1,000, representing the profit
of the trip.

HIGR SCHOOL NOTES.

The JGembers of the senior class
are seading out their graduation in
yitations and announcements.
S. B. Tobey will deliver the COM
mencement address this year to the
graduates of the rural schools OF
Langladt Co., at Amigo.
The annual school exhibition was
held'last Friday and Saturday at the
high school There wera exhibits OF
drawing, penmanship, spehiag. arith-
metic, language. grammar, geography,
history and civics of all pupils taking
these branches in the grades. The
gym was filed with an exhibit OF
manual training consisting of all
kinds of this work from coat-hangers
to library tables, office desks, orna-
mented lamp stands, Morris chairs,
porch swings and couches. The ex-
hibit of cooking and sewing consisted
of all kinds of cookery. Soups, breads,
pies and pastries and canned fruits
We're in evidence. The sewing exhibit
consisted of exercises from the sim
plest stitches made on tie samples to
the most intricate needlework on the
party dresses of the girls. One hun
dred of these garments beautifully
worked were on exhibition. No IN
telligent person after an examination
of the work presented could honestly
say that the public schools are not
adequately performing their duty
The teachers of the various schools
deserve much credit for the exhibition,
it being one >of the best ever shown
in our city.
Examinations will be started foI
the Junior, Sophomore and Freshmen
classes next Thursday and they will
continue through next Tuesday.
A number of high school scholars
have written essays for the Wisconsin
Bankers association essay contest
After these have been examined by
local teachers the best essay will bt
sent from the city to enter the con
test proper.

When a JUDGE Pleaded.

French law courts often develop
phases of hnmor that can have no
counterpart in American or English
procedure. Monsieur Hugot is presi-
dent of the Ninth chamber, one of the
courts of Paris. The other day, Mai
ire c. appeared at the bar, and with
many gestures, pointing to his throat,
made the court understand that he
had lost his voice. Yes, maitre," said
the judge, alphabetically, 1.-The court
notes that you have a severe cold,
that it is impossible for you to plead.
But your client shall not on that &C
count be deprived of defense. If you
had been able to plead you would
not have failed to show that she had
a good reputation and that she stole
nom her employer to nourish her four
children. In short, that the accused
committed a fault accidentally, and
that she will engage never again to
appear before the tribunal. There,
Maitre c., is your pleading, is it not?
Very we'll; now the Judgment of this
tribunal is one month in prison"
