Exact Copy Of Wrapper.

Bernard Hughes, who is seventy
years old and has Travelled the country
exclusively, walked into the dispen-
sary of st. JOseph's hospital the other
day and asked for a physician, says the
Philadelphia Public Ledger.
Doctor" he informed the surgeon.
''Tve got a bad pain in my left leg
and l want you to do something for it"
The surgeon took him to one Of the
operating tables and examined his leg.
you've got some sort of a bunch
near your ankle" said the doctor, land
I think you ought to have it removed"
IAN right" replied Hughes, dig 1t
out"
Shortly afterward the surgeon re-
moved a piece of iron about an inch
long and an inch and a half wide,
which formed the ''bunch."
'How in the world did that get in
there?' he asked.
"Well, I'll tell you what I think, doc,
I was in San Francisco in 1906 when
1t had the earthquake" replied Hughes.
''There was an explosion where lived
and a part of the stove hit me in the
leg. 1 shouldn't be surprised if that
piece of iron was a part Of the stove,
and 1 guess I've been tOtlng it around
with me ever since"
The missile in these eleven years
had worked its way from the knee TO
the ankle.

SAYS ALL CHILDREN DO 1T
University President startles Hearers
by Declaring Youths Like to
"TakeD Things.

DIR. G. Stanley Hail. president Of
Clark university, speaking on "Relig-
ion and Education" the other day
tossed off a number OF opinions that
rather startled some of his hearers.
Say, damn once I'm a while If the
occasion demands" Doctor Hall adj
yised, and when the gasping had sub
sided he gave it as his belief
that sIapping children was a good
practice If the slappIngs were admin
istered vigorously and mot more in
sorrow than In anger.
BE very kind about stealing" said
the wise doctor, ''for all children
do It,"
That appears to be a pretty broad
assertion, says the Dayton News.
Perhaps the doctor is right but let
us hope that he has overstated the
case. In justice to him 1t must be
added that he qualified his assertion
concerning the thieyish prOpensities of
children by saying:
Possibly there is not a person here,
a man at least, who has not stolen
apples, turnips or watermelOns. If
they had been caught in the city they
would have been branded as Grim
mails"
We can understand the Doctors con-
illusions concerning apples and water
melons, but why should any boy want
to steal turnips? As well accuse all
boys Of preferring work to play. No,
we refuse to believe that Doctor Hall
was not too general in his accusation.

LONG PRAIRIE TEAM WAS EASY
High School Basket Ball Artists
Smother Todd County Lads
Friday Evening.

In the second game of the season,
the Sank Centre basket ball team
at Long Prairie in the Community
scored another victory. The game was
Hall. The home team was at great
disadvantage on account of being ac-
customed to much larger gymnas-
ium. The game was rough, but not
disagreeably so. There was little
chance for team work on account of
the limited space Therefore, the
playing merely became case of the
heaviest team winning. Sank Centre
had the heaviest team as was evidenc-
ed by the almost one-sided score, 34-7.
There were no special stars, al
though Pangburn did his share in
making baskets. However, anyone
who understands the game at all,
knows that one man cannot pile up
the score alone; that the rest of the
team must have kept the way clear.
Therefore, it goes without saying that
each new score meant the heavy CO.
operation of the whole team. More
over, every man on the team made a
basket.
