MINNES0TA'S NOSE.
Curious History Of the jog In Our
Northern Boundary Line.

Northern Boundary Line.
How did the United States come 20
get that small corner of land which
iuts out from the extreme northern
boundary OF Minnesota? History 81
that little nose" which sticks out into
Canada from Minnesota and which
constitutes the northernmost point of
the United States is very interesting.
Under the treaty of 1888 the boundary
between the United States and British
possessions was fixed. A certain point
on the Lake of the Woods was mutual
~ agreed to as one starting point. this
being considered the headwaters Of the
st. Lawrence river and great lakes
system.
At that time il was not known wheth.
or this point was north or south of the
forty.ninth parallel. but it was known
TO be close to it, The understanding
was that from that point the boundary
should go north or south to the forty
ninth parallel. as the case might be.
Later and more accurate surveys
showed that point was about twenty
five miles north of the forty ninth pnr
allel and so at this place the boundary
makes Jog above that line.
Uncle Sam thus has little piece OF
territory of about hundred square
miles In extent north OF the genera
boundary. And the joke of 1t Is tina
any one has to go by water in order Il
reach this little piece of territory unless
he wants to go through Canada.-Path

Florida Case Dropped.

on Nov. 6, 1868, the Florida house or
representatives impeached Governor
Harrison Reed on charges Of falsehood
and lying in official matters, of incom-
potency, of unlawtully declaring va
cant many seats in the legislature, OF
embezzlement from the state treasury
and of corruption and bribery In his
appointments.
This formidable series of charges
was presented for trial 90 eight sena-
tors, there being so many vacancies
that eight was "A majority. The i'm
ppachment had automatically suspend
ed Reed from Office until the conclu-
sion of the trial. Lieutenant Governor
William II. Gleason issued proclama-
ton announcing that he had taken pos
session OF the office of governor, and
the assembly adjourned to the first of
the following January. When the sen
ate refused to take the same adjourn
ment Gleason adjourned IL himself to
the same day.
Governor Reed meanwhile refused to
surrender his office and asked the state
supreme Nouil w lhSS VII Nh' ~ S'''iN'
of the proceedings. The court upheld
Reeds position and removed the lieu
tenant governor from office on the
ground of ineligibility. The United
States supreme court then upset the
removal OF Gleason as lieutenant gov
ernor. and with the incoming of the
newly elected legislators on the 1st Of
January both houses with vacancies
! filled, recognized Governor Reed, and

ment cases historically was that of
! Governor William w. Holden of North

of whippings and murders in Alamanee

authorities had taken no action. Gov

New Interscholastic Organization
With Headquarters at Washington

In Washington, d. c. is the cen
trail Office of the Students Esper-
anto League, unique new inter
scholastic organization which has
created much interest throughout
the country.
Although not secret organiza.
ton, il has the good qualities Of
fraternity and eliminates the feat.
ures to which some object. The
fraternal idea is carried out farther
than in most organizations, since
students in every country are indi-
rectly connected. One of the mem
bers recently reported that he is
corresponding wish colleagues in
over forty different countries, and
incidentally getting fine collection
of stamps. The language used is
Esperanto, which can be learned
by the average high school student
in an incredibly short time. Be
cause of the indirect educational
value, the organization has been
heartily endorsed by all school
authorities who have come in con-
tact with it, and many have actu-
ally urged the pupils to join it.
AS it is desirable that Local
group (called a rondo") bt
formed in every High School anc
preparatory school in Mort /
America, the Students Esperanto
League will send free copy of it

the purposes of this organization
