ORAL WILL NO GOOD.

A rather unusual proceeding occur
red in county cour. last week in which
Miss Bart Alfstad attempted to have
the court accept an alleged nuncupa.
tive will Of the late John Alfstad of
Two Rivers. A nuncupative will is
merely will made orally instead Of in
writing, and the great opportunities
for fraud which it presents has
impelled the law to throw round il
safeguards, among which is the provis.
ion that 1t must be proved by the oaths
OF three persons present at the making.
Alfstad for years worked in Two Riv.
ers and boarded his earnings, doing
chores on farm five miles out from
the city for his board. He had accum-
ulated about $1,000 and evidently in
tended to leave it all to his niece Bar.
1t. He died before the legal formal
ties could he complied with and AS the
three necessary witnesses were not
present TO hear him state his alleged
desires as to the disposition OF his
property the estate will 90 to the
heirs In Norway. This Is the second
local attempt in many years to esta.
blish a nuncupative will.

Gave Hecklors a Chance.

At one time the Republicans OF Chr
cago were out and were fighting De-
mocracy on industrial conditions and
the putative helplessness OF situa-
tion which did not let the Republic
ans In. A parade had started OF and
was well on It's way-nearly to tha
flo closers-when ward boss saw
that two lighted transparencies lacked
carriers. He looked around hurriedly
and noticed that one OF his retainers
WAS idle. Here" he yelled, 'shoul-
der this aud got in line" The shang
hailed recruit was gambler who
busied himself In ward politics on oc-
casions. but for the most stuck to his
trade when trade was possible, As he
hoisted the lighted legend. Open "
the mills aad factories there was a
chorus OF derisivs yells from the side
walk: Never mind the mills Open
up the poker games"

What is the origin of the Norfolk
jacket. and why the straps or plaits
and belt?
The name IN derived from the county
OF Norfolk. on the southeast coast Of
England The shores of the county are
marshes intersccted by tidal streams
locally known as the broads,' an ideal
spot for shooting wild fowl The na
ture of the country is such that the
shooter must carry his own game bag
and ammunition, for leaders would be
more bother than they are worth. Ac-
eolNlingly there developed shooting
jhcket with conveniences for this sm-
ployment the belt for the carriage Of
the game bag ma powder horn or car
tonche box, the straps to distribute the
weight more fairly upon the shoulders.
Modern fashions Of tailoring have re.
tained these conysniences In form ol

The following suggestions may be op-
perfume to many teacher at the open
ing of school:
Are you prepared to open SCHOOL,
Did you have all the apparatus you
needed, as phonics cards, drill cards,
busy work etc?
Have you studied your register and
program?
If you are new in II graded school, do
you thoroughly understand the graded
manual?
Have your school room and grounds
been cleaned? If not see the board.
Are you really ready to Teach
SCHOOL, rather than Keep SCHOOL,"
Teachers attempting to teach reading
without the necessary apparatus or
without the new words on the board for
drill or without phrase drills, or with
out the use of phonics, cannot expect to
teach school with results. never saw
such teacher do any effective work. |
have seen schools where the teacher
had just gotten fairly good start in
the right method of teaching reading
and the next year had it all spoiled by
someone who knew nothing abo@t
teaching. Had this teacher taken up
the work where her predecessor left off,
mupb good nipht hnyp hapu upppmp- =
lished.
The superintendent on his visits has
a right to expect the pupils to recite
well and have good lessons in general.
A poorly recited lesson means a poor
and indefinite assignment, and the
blame reflects on the teacher in most
cases. Read with expression and drill
with snap and accuracy.

White Plaque Citadel.

DR.. John N. Alley. superintendent OF
the United States sanatorium for In
iians at Fort Lapwai. Idaho. says he is
convinced. after a study OF the causes
of death among the Nez Perces In
dians for the last ten years, that 90
per cent OF all the deaths Is due di-
rectly or indirectly to tuberculosis. In
the 100 years that have elapsed since
the historic expedition OF Lewis and
Clarke to the Northwest, the Nez Per.
ces tribe has diminished from 5000 TO
1900. The recent tuberculosis death
rate is about forty for 1000 living, or
two and one-half times the rate in the
United States as whole. Doctor Alley
traces the cause Of the decimation to
the change in the mode of living OF the
Indians from the open-air life OF the
plains to the eedentary, settled life OF
the reservation.
