Miss Huettl in the leading role.
"Clarice" did exceptionally well and
many comments were made on her
sweet voice. Her waltz song sung
with her brother, Charles Huettl,
was especially meritorious. Miss
Grace Wagon the contralto soloist
showed marked improvement over
her work of last year, and carried
her pare splendidly. -H esq
Louis Mayors comedy part was
indeed good comedy and he proved
a fayorite with the audience. The
duet By Mr.. Mayer and Miss Wagon
brought forth three encores.
The quartet Twilight Falling
was well received, and the blending
of the voices I'm that number was
especially fine. .'
The Dance Joyeuse by Miss Mary
Hagen and George Theissen was
very artistic and received an en-.
core. Every member of the cast
did his or her part well and ]. f.
Regan, who was stage director, as
well as F. .. Brezinsky. who di.

Manual Training Work.

In the manual training work the
students, Mr.. Johnson says, are doing
well. He advocated the practical
carpentry work for this course. and
said last night: THE weakness in
industrial work in the public schools
will continue as long as the practi.
cal carpenter is kept out Of the
schools"
The seventh and eighth grade pu-
l'ils are given optional work. and
from the results obtained from their
study the plan is being successful.
The enrolment is larger also. and
Mr.. johnson believes that the system
keeps students in school at least
one year longer. In his school
the following percentage OF
students are taking the various
subjects: rs per cent physics and
chemistry. per cent agriculture;
q per cent commercial subjects; IA
per cent bookkeeping: "a per cent
domestic science: so per cent in
dusirial work: 10 per cent Latin:

/. The Winona Herald says the
somewhat unusual sight of ducks
disporting themselves In water In
the middle OF the winter has been
observed by visitors TO Riverside
park the past. few days. During
an extremely cold winter some
years ago there was a visitation OF
Arctic ducks to this city and MANY
viewed their midwinter antics n
the open water In front OF Levea
park. Since then ducks in the mic
die of winter have not been OBJ
served here.
II is said there have been ducks
In open water between here and
Fountain City the most OF the win
ter. but this Is the first time they
have come to the open water in
front of Levee park.
The visiting ducks are most of
the time to be found ut the points
where the city's sewage pipes dis
charge their contents into the river.
BY diving below the surface there
the ducks are able to pick up
many articles of food.

Wood Alcohol Causes Death

Much has been written in recel.
wears regarding the almost criminal
ignorance of the general public in the
use of wood alcohol, and it's injurious
effect not OILY on eyesight, but on life
itself. Tie 'Mpo,tance of adequate
protection IF the pablic in this rag.rd
is emphasized by a recent tragedy i'll
New York City. Three women died
md two were Il ade dangerously III
from drinking homemade wine .: a
wedding feast. 2he wine was ioade
ny the bridegroom and was drlnN by
the two hundred guests present. The
recipe for the beverage the police
say, was sugar, water, alcohol and a
red and green %cOlOring matter. 1t
was first thought that the women were
suffering from ptomain poison, but the
coroner's physician pronounced death
to be due to alcohol poisoning. and
the police declared that the wine was
made with wood alcohol. This dan
gerous poison often kills and ever
when the life of the victim is spared
he is generally blinded for the rest OF
his life.
