General. may I present these gen
tlemen?' said he.
Certainly" the general replied.
Formal introductions followed, each
of the commissioners shaking Gener-
al Funston by the band.
Lieutenant Cohen then stepped for
ward saluting. All three commission
ers bowed gravely and smiled their ac-
knowledgements.
Lieut.. Bait then saluted and they ae-
knowledged this in the same way.
Accept No Hospitality
Mr.. Ryder conferred with the COM
missioners in Spanish, extending TO
them in behalf of General Funston and
Admiral Badger the hospitality of the
American officers and transport on
the Moro Castle. He then informed
General Funston that the commission
ers would accept no hospitality and
preferred to sail on the Kronprinzes-
sin Cecilie.
They were told that Admiral Badger
had been holding the MORO Castle at
Vera Cruz for them, but they insisted
ON CARRYING out their original plans,
explaining that arrangements had al
ready been made with the steamship
company.
General Funston acquiesced in what
ever plan the commissioners had IN
mind and the party moved out of the
station surrounded by great crowd,
which at times threatened to separate
the American officials and the Mexi-
cans. But still there was virtually no
show of force, even to keep the crowd
back.
General Funston personally turned
on the Mexicans when they crowded
too closely and kept them off with
wave of his hand and a shout.
Accept Motor Transportation
When the party reached the exits OF
the terminal, army automobiles were
lined up to take the Mexican commits
sioners to the steamer and through
Mr.. Ryder the invitation to accept
their use was renewed. The commits
sioners finally yielded and drove in the
cars to the wharf, but no escort was
sent along and no army men except
the chauffeurs accompanied them
General Funston at once returned
to headquarters and signalled to Rear
Admiral Badger the determination OF
the Mexicans not to sail on an Amer
lean ship. The commissioners took up
their quarters on the steamer and pre-
pared for their journey, without MAX
ing statement or granting any inter-
view. II is understood they will leave
the steamer at Key West and proceed
north by rail.

Mrs. Mcintyre.

AS we went to press last week we
noted the decease OF Mrs. Loranus
Mcintyre, who died on the End inst.
at the home of her son, William.
Thus is removed one whose entire
life nearly had been spent in this
vicinity. While she was born in IL
linois, she came when a young girl
with her parents, who moved to the
:own of Gilman. Forty years ago last
Christmas she was married to Mr..
Mcintyre, and after a few years in
81 Paso they became our neighbors,
living on a farm nearby or as residents
# the city
Mrs. Mcintyre was woman of ma
i've refinement and gentle character,
much esteemed by those who knew
3er. The mother of a large family,
Ter time was necessarily absorbed
with their rearing and training. TIC
hese tasks she devoted her life, to
BE crowned with a large measure of
success. One could not look upon
the six stalwart young men, who
gently bore their mothers body to
he grave, seeing the prophesy of
noble life written in their faces and
already in part realized, without feel
ing that this woman in the quiet OF
her own home, without figuring in
any way in public affairs, had in
reality done great work and made
a great contribution to the worlds
Welfare.
Seven children and her husband sur
vive her. Of these cniidren William
is a respected and up-to-date farmer
of River Falls, Ralph is a successful
dentist at Greenwood, Fred has
3roWing business as druggist at Prairie
Farm, Morris is prospecting as paint
er and paperhanger in North st. Paul,
Howard has taken up the timers
trade and is entering upon his third
years with a firm in Rice Lake, and
Leonard, who is with him now, has
not yet decided upon his life occupa-
ton. The one daughter, who survives,
Miss Olive, is a school girl, living at
the home of her brother William.
Mrs. Mcintyre had been a frail
woman for several years. Repeated
attacks of pneumonia undermined her
strength, and though the end came
suddenly, it was not unexpected. The
final services in her memory were
held in the parlors of the Congrega-
tional church, of which she was a
member. The rooms were filled with
old-time friends, who came to bear
testimony to her memory. ***

JACK LONDON. AUTHOR OF
The Abys1nal Brute

Life among two listed men is Jack
London's text, and he sticks to it.
He tells of existence and of men as
he has found thenn-from the Berina
sea to the south sea islands.
The experiences of his characters
have been his own. That is what
makes them real men.
Add to his contact with life and his
capacity of keeping vivid impressions
of it a power to make his readers feel
with him and you catch hold of the
secret of his great power over hh
readers.
Few living men equal London in
"eetting down to facts" He has the
ability of making the word fit the
scene, of telling story in a phrase, Of
revealing life in q chapter.
When you finish a London story you
have lived with the characters. They
are not men and women of straw. set
up to fill out an idle hour.
They are living, breathing, feeling,
suffering, triumphant human beings.
Jack London is only thirty eiqht
years old. In twenty years he has
crowded more real life than most men
do ina long lifetime.
He left college to go to the klondke,
and his farewell to book schools was
permanent. Since then he has learned
his lessons before the mast, in Japan,
seal hunting in the arctic, tramping
through the United States and Canada
and as a war correspondents in the
Russo Japanese war.
Thousands of men and women hay
heard him lecture and have felt as the
heard his strong, sincere voice tn
they were listening to a real man
among men.
In "The AbysmaI Brute" he has cho-
sen a novel theme and handled it with
an art that holds the readers interest
from first word to "fins."

Miss Eunice Johnson, who was a
member of the Junior Glass last year,
returned to take up her work at the
Normal school last week. She will
graduate with the Senior class in
June.
The play given by the Meletean staff
proved a success financially. About
$100 was cleared. This will be used
to make the Senior annual for 1911
better than it otherwise would be.
The Superior Normal school basket
ball team defeated the locals for the
second time this year, by the decisive
score of 10 to g. The game was
extremely rough from the start. Part
of the roughness of the River Falls
team was due to the spirit of the
spectators The Stout team defeated
Superior 12 to "a at Menomonie on
Saturday evening.
President Crabtree attended the
meeting of the Board of Regents al
Madison last week. He reports a
number of changes that will interest

length of the school year will be nine
months instead of the present plan OF

may divide the year as it sees fit;
that is, it may be in two semesters or
three terms of twelve weeks each.

Gravity of a Spinnino Ton.

A spinning top is kept from falling
because Of the speed with which it re-
wolves. The attraction Of gravitadon
is temporarily overcome by the centrif-
ugal force produced by the rotation Of
the top when it is spun. Each part
Of the top is subject to the same CEN
trifugal force as each other part at the
same distance from the axis Of rota-
ton and to no greater force, SO that
there Is no cause for the top being
pulled In any particular direction by
the force Of gravity. AS soon as the
centrifugal force begins to lessen be-
cause of lessening speed Of rotation the
attraction of gravity begins to be ex-
erted again and the top begins to wob-

minishes to such an extent that the
attraction of gravitation becomes great

1t devolves upon the railroad company
to clear away the debris. Frequently
the quickest and least expensive way
to do this Is to burn It. but before
this is possible every effort is made
to recover lost personal property. The
