that of a man about thirty-fve years
old, intelligent and OF Studious inclina-

of civil engineering at the beginning
of the college year He gives the name
Of William SummerviIle but the col
lege authorities have no proof that
that is his true name.
Every recollection of his past life is
blotted from his memory with the ex-
ception of three items.
Summervile says that he remembers
clearly that his parents were drowned
in the Galveston food. Besides this.
he has a faint remembrance of seeing
Maude Adams, the actress, and Of be-
ing member of Il surveying crew in
central Washington some months ago.
An examination of Summerville by
the college professors in psychology
shows that he has an acquaintance of
surveying instruments. but that he is
deficient in Il knowledge of mathemat-
les essential to the practical surveyor.
He has proved an industrious stu
dent and spends much spare time in
the college library reading works on
history and science. He seems famil-
lar with textbooks on botany and trig-
onometry.
Summerville is tall and we'll built

PARROT CALLS ROLL
IN SCHOOLROOM
Pupils Always on Time to
Hear Professor Tom. "

Brenham, Tex.-Miss Dorothy Book
has solved the problem of having pu-
pills in the rural districts attend school
on time for the morning roll call. Miss
Booker has trained a pet parrot to
call the roll. Professor Tom, as he
has been called since he began his du-
ties, is an interesting bird to the pu-
pills, and they all arrive on time to hear
him call their names.
There is not a pupil In the Independ-
ence school who could be made to be-
lieye that Professor Tom does not
know them by sight as well as by
name.
Miss Booker when she accepted the
school at Independence, near Bren-
ham, a year ago was bothered by the
pupils not arriving on time, especially
during the rainy season. She immedi-
ately began to plan to overcome this,
but was unsuccessful for time
Some months ago trained parrot was
sent her by friend who was touring
South America. Fortunately the par
rot had been owned by English speak
ing people
No sooner did the young schoolmis-
tress see the bird than she evolved the
idea of training II. AT first she did not
have much success, but diligent efforts
brought the reward
When the process of training was
first under way the bird was allowed
to sit upon perch in the schoolroom
and listen to the teacher call the roll.
He was allowed to do this for two
weeks and at first always was remov-
ed from the room Immediately after
the roll call Soon he was trying to
call the roll with the teacher and in
short time was able to do so by him
self, as he found his efforts were al
ways rewarded with soda crackers.
After the bird first had the roll
memorized it would persist In answer
ing the present or absent after the
pupils. but was soon broken of this
habit Now he sits, dignified, on his
perch and interrogates in his nasal
tones, willie Jones?" or whatever the
name might be and looks to see il the
teacher marks the said young Jones
present" or absent" according TO the
response of the pupil.

There has probably not been a
spring in many years where there
were so few auction sales in Ramsey
county as there n this spring. This
is certainly gratifying, as this county
cannot afford to loose a farmer, even
if he is a poor farmer and badly in
volved. When we look back we can
see the time when many farmers of
cially, but pluck and perseverance
this county were in bad shape inan-
has brought them out in good shape.
We need all the farmers we have and
many more, and the lack Of auction
sales this spring goes to show that
our farmers are mot discouraged, but
are going along with more pluck and
energy than ever, and if they are able
to weather the storm caused by our
Democratic administration, we predict
that things will right themselves and
they will come out all right in the
long run.
