An Odd Story.

The proprietor of a north side
thirst emporium in Manitowoc, Wis,
had been annoyed by thief, who en-
tered the cellar without disturbing
any of the visible means of egress and
removed the corks from the choicest
wines and brandies, leaving the part
ly emptied bottles when he departed.
The mystery was explained when
he saw a muskrat with jag making
its unsteady way from the cellar to
the river For several days the sa-
loon keeper entertained his friends
by posting them where they could
watch the bibulous rodent enter a
hole in the wall, gnaw the corks from
a few bottles and acquire a load.
Then one day he saw the muskrat
approaching the saloon in company
with six others. The saloon keep
er drew the line at the muskrat Civ
ing souse party to his friends 'on
the house, He broke up the revel
with gun.

WISHES OF PUPILS
PLEASED VINCENT
Alberta School Children Tell
University President They
will Become Farmers

An overwhelming number of the
boys in the Alberta schools have al
ready decided to become farmers when
they reach maturity. One expects
to become a base ball player in some
big league and one would like tc be-
come a ranchman of the border hero
variety. President Vincent of the
state university was here few days
ago and the boys told him about their
intentions and he said he was more
than pleased to know that so many
favored the farmers. cit shows that
the Alberta consolidated schools is
fitting the girls and boys to become
useful and desirable scitizens, and is
doing far more than has been suspect
ed and planned in spreading the laud-
able ambition among future men and
women to remain on the farm" said
DR.. Vincent.
Each of the hoys who were ques-
toned stated about the same reasons
for his desire to remain on the farm.
''There is lots of money in it, COW
cred most of the cases. One little
boy said he wanted to be ball
player because he could travel, have
lots of fun and "be big man."
The other wanted to be rancher be-
cause he loved cattle and had been
fascinated by the stories he had read
about the western cowboy.
The girls, too, have formed good
opinions of the farm but most all of
them say they intend to become dress
makers or nurses. Like the boys they
are looking upon the financial side for
the future, and most of them believe
dressmakers and nurses are the real
money makers. Only one little girl
said she wished to become a nurse be {.
cause IL can do lot of good to sick
people. " Another said her aunt was
nurse and she wanted to be like her
auntie.
The answers of the Alberta boys and
girls to DR.. Vincent's question furn-
ishes striking contrast to those re-
ceived by another we'll known edu-
Gator and pathologist with national
reputation This man visited coun-
try school in the rural districts of New
York state and ninety percent of the
boys told him they expected to become
bankers. business men or professional
men in some large city.
That school was like all the rest of
that day and generation and as the
boys reached maturity they acted on
their early ambitions No state in
