Hospital Association Reports Pro-
greSs.

The Union Hospital Aid Society met
at the Lutheran School Monday after
noon to review the work accomplished
during the past year. The reports of the
officers were read and conditions were
shown to be fourishing: There is a
membership at present of something
over one hundred eighty and the trea-
sury balance is more than three hundred
dollars. The greater part of the receipts
for the year came from the banquet
which was served Decoration Day, there
being something like $500 surplus at that
time.
The ladies plan to use some of these
funds to improve the grounds at the
hospital, to purchase an operating chair
for eye, ear, and nose operations, and
also another wheel chair for the third
floor which is at present without one.
The Association will hold private
coffee social for the members the after
noon of Wednesday, February 9th at
Gebser's Hall. This is purely a social
affair for the members alone.

PUNCH BOARDS UNLAWFUL.

Many municipalities throughout this
section are putting the ban on punch
boards and other games of chance.
Even though they are unlawful they have
been, and are still permitted to be
operated in practically every village and
hamlet in Minnesota. Dealers handling
them do not make great amount on
each board, but the one putting them
in does. Besides being unlawful, the
prizes given detract from some local
business house whose proprietor is trying
to make his living on the merits of goods
in the same line. That punch boards
are lotteries, pure and simple, and are
unlawful, is expressed below, same being
the opinion of Attorney General Smiths
assistant:
"A lottery is a scheme for the distri-
button of property by chance among
persons who have paid or agreed to pay
a valuable consideration for the chance
whether it shall be called lottery, rattle,
gift enterprise, or by any other name,
and is hereby declared unlawful and
public nuisance.
Tin brief, any scheme whereby pro-
perty is distributed by chance among
persons who pay valuable consideration
for such chance is lottery. A punch
board which pays full value may be a
lottery. Wherever the element of chance
is present, that is, the opportunity to OBJ
tain more than is paid for, it is my opinion
the scheme is lottery and unlawful RI

COURT REPORTERS SALARY.

Judge I. M. Olsen has apportioned
the salary of the court reporter among
the various counties of his district. The
salary of the court reporter is $4,000 per
year and the apportionment is based on
the number of days in which court is
held in each county. Brown county will
pay toward the salary of the reporter the
sum of $29.34 per month; Nicollet county
$23.47; Redwood county, $685.; Lyon,
:$53.38; Lincoln, $21.12, which totals
$166.66, the monthly stipend of the
official. Last year Brown county paid
5000 each month, or 1896 more than
this year.

COLLEGE NOTES i, o,

Wednesday, the 5th of January marked
the return of the majority of the students
to their school work. We must saw
that such a glorious array of vivid
Christmas neckwear has scarcely ever
Sbeen exhibited at D. M. L. c., not to
mention the socks and handkerchiefs,
which latter ranged all the way from the
Mother Goose designs of the props. to
the initial-in-the-co of the staid
and worthy Seniors. All in all Santa
Claus seems to have remembered and
rewarded the many hours of painstaking
work that the students did last year.
Rev. J. H. Naumann of St. Paul spent
Friday among us. While here, he took
the opportunity to make few admon-
ltory remarks to the assembled student
body.
A. Manthey returned to St. Paul after
Christmas to substitute in the Trinity
School Of that place. He had already
spent the last three weeks before the
Christmas recess there.
E. Ebert '16 left Tuesday for Bangor,
Wis.,, to assist in the Lutheran school for
few weeks.
Work on the new organ was finished
on Friday. Mr.. Concord, the organ
builder left on Saturday for his home in
. St. Paul.

DEFEATED BY
ZOEGL1NG 50-4.

Wednesday evening the Springfield
Basket ball team came down to New
Ulm and matched themselves with the
Zoegling team of this city. The game,
if game it can be called, was one-sided
affair and the result was something like
that which the Sleepy Eye high School
team experienced at the hands of the
local high school team. At the end of
the first half the score stood 22-2 and at
the end of the game 50-4, favor the Zoeg-
ing. The Springfield team could get
but two baskets during the entire game,
one in the first half and one in the second
half. Both were made by Scott, the
Springfield center. The basket shoot
ing OF that team was very poor and the
team work looked like child's play COM
pared with that of the Zoegling.
Herzog and Muesing did the scoring
for the Zoegling, the former making
three baskets in the first half and ten in
the second half. Muesing made seven
baskets buring the time he played, five
in the first half and two in the beginning
of the scond half. Schaefer managed to
make three baskets and Heymann also
threw two. The work of the Zoegling
guards was very good as can be seen by
the score. In the second half the ball
did not travel very far, changing hands
about half dozen times and then into
the basket.
The Zoegling team have but two fouls
to their credit while the Springfield
team has eight. None of these resulted
in free throws. The lineup of the teams

The Gentle Art of SmiIino.

A mother had little girl, her first
child, who seemed to have been born
with scowl. Perfectly well, still she
had a morose disposition which it
seemed as though nothing could alter.
When a second child was born the
mother made rule that no one should
look at the baby without a smile. With
the imitation of childhood the baby at
once began. even in her early weeks,
to smile back, and as she grew, and
the rule still held in the home, she de-
veloped into what every one who knew
her called 1.-THE smiling baby" and
grew up with the sunniest disposition,
joy to every one. Now, what that
mother did any mother can do A child
may actually inherit serious, even
sullen disposition, yet these may be
crowded out while they are undevel-
oped by the habit of cheerfulness.-

Music In Shakespeare's Time.

Shakespcare's time was an age of
music. Catches" were sung by gen.
ties as well as by weavers and tinkers.
Lutte, cithern or yirginals were in ev-
cry BARRIERS shop for the diversion of
customers. y Thomas Morley may
be using the blessed argument of a
music teacher when he tells us that a
gentleman was counted but a boOr if
he could not play the lutte or sing a
part in a madrigal, but there is no get
ting over the craggy fact that over
eighty collections of madrigals, ayres
and songs were printed and published
between 1857 and 1890, in addition to
which vast collections of early music
still remain in manuscript. With an
aristocracy fond of music and accus-
toned to play and listen to music and
song, music in the theater was almost
as inevitable in England as in Italy,
says the London Musical Record. 1t
was considered manly accomplish
ment to play the hunting horn. Every
gentleman who kept hounds could wind
it. A punctilious etiquette fixed the
correct set of notes for each operation
of the chase. Usually play had at
least one song.
