company him on short trip. AS they
were leaving the place at low rate of
speed the machine slipped off the road
as they were turning on to the main
road. At this place the center of the
road is quite high. Mr.. Ahrens was
unable to bring the machine around to
avoid the accident and the big machine
rolled over and landed bottom side up.
When the occupants crawled out of the
machine the wheels were still turning
and the engine was still running. The
only damage done to the machine was
a broken windshield. bent fender and
thston wac darHgsd. None of the oc-
cupants were injured in the least, but

P0lS0NER C0NFESSES

Some time last October the citizens
OF the town of Luxembourg and Red
River were confronted with poisoning
mystery when the cattle of Joe Henry
salt and paris green. No particular
investigation was made at the time but
sometime during the month Of july,
this year the same mixture was again
spread in the vicinity Of Mr., Henry's
farm and also upon Oliver Nellis' farm,
and Immediate steps were taken to fer
ret out the crime.
just previous to this time another
poisoning occurred in this vicinity
when the junior brothers lost two val
liable horses, but no clue could be found
as to who were the perpetrators OF the
dastardy act, The neighborhood was
thoroughly aroused and the district at
torney O. II. Bruemmer was consulted,
and plans were laid to capture the cul-
prit il possible
Edward =. Cunningham, well
known detective from Milwaukee was
employed. He brought with him n
blood hound which was set upon the
tracks of the one who placed the pois-
on. The dog followed the trail to the
home Of Joe Henry, and back again to
Ncllis', but as both Of these parties had
poison placed upon their premises the
same night it was impossible to say
from which one OF the places the pois-
oner started
Detective Cunningham and District
Attorney O. IL. Bruemmer toured the
country, and succeeded in gathering
some strong clues as TO the identity of
the guilty party. MIR. Cunningham
continued to follow these clues with
great skill and finally solved the mys.
terry, and succeeded in having the gull
ty party confess.
The motive of the crime was traced
to love affair.
1t appears tina, julie Nells was en-
gagged to Eliza Deprey and that Victor
Macco, young man employed at Joe
Henry's who was a neighbor Of Nellis,
succeeded in winning the affections OF
Miss Deprey away from Nellis. Nellis
for revenge, and for the purpose OF
placing Macco in bad light in the
eyes OF Miss Deprey decided to place
the poison at his fathers home as well
as at Henry and write letters to De-
preys' and others that would cast sus-
picion upon Macco
When confronted with the evidence
gathered by Detective Cunningham
julie Nellis confessed and warrant
was issued for his arrest.
The punishment for the crime Is a
fine OF not more than 800 or imprison.

than months.
Let it be said to the credit of Oliver

everything in his power to aid the de /.
tective in apprehending the guilty par

disgrace should fall on a member of his
own family.-Kewaunee Enterprise.

EDUCATIONAL.
tBy G. w. Meisnest.)

President Hadley, of Yale, calls the
present-day undergraduate "a higher
development of civilization than his
father or his elder brother" and as
serts that despite the increase of
wealth and luxury there is to-day more
intellectual life in Yale than there was
at any other period he has known,
1t would hardly be reasonable to ex-
pect a university president to condemn
the student body, and we might look
elsewhere than in an address by Presi-
dent Hadey to find whether the college
boy OF to-day is the superior of his
father. Looking elsewhere we find
him more commonly accepted as a
trained and useful man. In business
and in professions where practical men
once sneered at his pretensions, not be-
cause he was educated, but because he
was, rather frequently pretontious, the
college-bred young man is in demand.
When civilization was younger in
America many families agreed that
every family should support one gen
tleman. The least practical young
man in the family was deemed suitable
for college, OF such material colleges
made many impractical men who were
less capable at breadwnning than their
brothers who dropped their final con-
sonants and knew no other language
than that which they i'll used 1t was
a fact, not a theory, that college edu'
cation did not as rule pay in dollars
and cents. Nowadays it does pay.
There has been a great Improvement
of education, as we'll as a vast increase
Of opportunities for highly trained
men. Practical parents are more will
ing to send their boys to college, and
practical boys are more willing to go
to college. 1t is understood generally
that no matter what field of endeavor
may be entered good academic educa-
tion is useful. and that it is fundament-
al if any profession is TO be undertak-
en-. The college graduate is no longer
the gentleman of the family, too well
educated to work. He is merely a
better equipped workman, unashamed
to begin at the bottom and more likely
to get to the top than he would be il
he lacked education,
President Hadev says Of the under
graduats what every observer knows
to be true. College sports and spenders
are counted by scores in the great uni
versties, but young men who are in
college to get an education, and who
make use Of an education after getting
it, are counted by hundreds.

every girl should play with boys
and should be encouraged to be rs
much Of boy as possible between the
ages Of 6 and II years." says joseph
Lee. "She learns to give and take, TO
accept defeat and hard knocks without
crying or having her feelings hurt or
becoming tragic over it. During the
tomboy age, the more OF a tomboy she
is, the better. From s to T. is the
critical age with girls"
His initial argument is that children
form their bodies and their characters
in play and learn therein to measure
themselves against the world.
Work he calls the higher form OF
play, but gymnastics "a mere corrective,
not play. "The best work satisfies the
play instinct" he says "Drudgery is
not necessary incident Of work"
Defining four stages in the play of
childhood, that period up to years when
the mother is the child's world; that
from 3 TO the dramatic age; the age
OF self-assertion, from 6 to IL, and the
age OF loyalty, from II on. He says:
Pulling in the same direction, in the
age OF seliasse rtion, there is the in
stinct TO nurture and protect \ man
is not quite a man who has not some
thing Of the mother in him"
While he thinks girls are very simi.
lar to boys up to Ia years of age, there
he sees divergence. though not ne
cessarily such one as is popularity
assumed. Girls are as loyal in friend
ship and possess as great a capacity
for it, he says, "but the team sense
Is not so strong. Women have lacked
