Wayne Normal Notes.

from the reservation of rooms already
made , there will bo a large enroll
ment
The Gorman class under the direc
tion of Miss Kingsbury , head of that
department , put on the play "Cinder
ella" which was most excellent and
was greeted by a full house.
The advanced elocution class also
put on a short play "Frank Glynn's
Wife , " and some impersonation work
that was remarkable. This depart
ment has not only done soruo most
excellent work , but under the direc
tion of Miss Carroll has become ono
of the important departments of the
school.
Messrs. Fenner , Ernest Anderson ,
John GUI and Paul Roth were the
delegates from the Y. M. C. A. to

EXCUSE FOR HOLDING HANDS.
Study Palmistry as Outlined In 1910
Almanac.
Did you ever hold hands and feel
foolish while doing it ? Possibly not.
Then your nerves are in good shape
and it will not bo necessary to take
the medicine the 1910 almanac pre
scribes for the man who has lost his
nerve. But ! As the man with the
upraised linger points out , with the
aid of the 1910 almanac even the
nerveless , apathetic individual can
hold hands by studying palmistry and
practicing it on well any good look
ing girl.
The 1910 almanac , aside from tolling
how to euro the blues and how a
centenarian in Texas cured himself
of an Incurable complaint and a num
ber of other things , gives a complete
treatise on how to tell fortunes. It
discusses life lines intelligently and
gives no impression that it is referring
to the title of that immortal camp
meeting hymn , "Throw Out the Life
Line. " As a matter of fact , it isn't
that kind of a line at all.
Besides palmistry the twelve signs
of the zodiac are given , showing a
man standing up nonchalantly viewIng -
Ing the world with every appearance
of a half completed operation for ap
pendicitis. Surrounding this heroic
picture are grouped pictures of n bull ,
a ram , a lion , a crnb , and lotu of other
things not all In the animal kingdom.
These , latter pictures are symbolical of
tliu different periods of the zodiac.
If you entered the world between Ap
ril 19 and May 20 you are born under
the sign of Taurus , tcpresonted by the
bull. A child born at that time of
your will bo a tempestuous youth who
will grow to u Joyous old age. It
has been suggested that the joyous
nlgn of Taurus Inspired Roosevelt's
favorite exclamation , "Bully. "
Turning the leaves of this great
compendium of learning , the 1910 at-
inanac , the reader llnds another way
to learn of the future , and that Is by
the bumps on the head , phrenology.
There is an illustration of n bald head
ed man , wearing n peculiarly vacant
expression , who is blessed with all of
the bumps In phrenological lore. He
Is a good lover , fond of children , so
ciety and home life. Ami if this is
not inconsistent he Is equally charmed
with love for revenge , food and drink ,
travel , and has great ability to main
tain his center of gravity. In all there
are forty-three bumps , nof counting
the accidental bumps received In cowIng -
Ing homo Into at night and emerging
from n wrestling match with the rockIng -
Ing chair that stands where the
matches ought to be.
For the Individual In search of youth
the almanac tells how a man of 50
years became young again by taking
six bottles of the peerless lotion that
can be procured from any druggist.
If by mistake you take carbolic acid
or laudanum instead of castor oil , the
almanac tells you what to use for an
antidote. If you dream , page twenty-
eight tells what the slgnlllcance of
your dreams are.
There are jokes only in one of the
almanacs put out this year by the
several patent medicine companies
The others have inserted in the place
of the rather antique witticisms testimonials
menials of what "Cure 'Em All's medi
cine will do for the sick and des
pondent.
Of course an almanac would not be
an almanac If the calendar was not
given , and with the calendar the
changes of the stars , moon phases and
other things astronomical are listed.
Everything Is in the almanac.
Everything that is in Dr. Eliot's live-
foot book shelf , nnd more besides.
School Notes.
The stormy weather of the past
week has resulted in a great deal of
absence.
Lulu Porter Is on the sick list this
week. William Shroeder also , has
been 111 for over a week.
At a meeting of the Athletic asso
ciation Tuesday evening , It was do
elded to organize a track team In
stead of a baseball team for spring
work In athletics. Both teams had
strong adherents , but the side for the
track athletics won. "The only event
to bo ruled out is the shotput. "
Although ony five weeks of the second
end semester have passed , plans for
some of the closing exercises are al
most completed. The senior class are
planning to give a class day program
j ' some time in April. The first part of
the program will consist of some of
the numbers common to such pro
grams ; while the last part will be a
clever little farce , "The Senior. " The
selection of the characters for the
cast has boon made and practising
on the work has begun. It promises
to bo a very clever program.

he other day nt his home In Now
'ork after u year's Illness , made his
greatest success on the stage In a
Ingle play , "The County Fair , " which

dy , with Mr. Burgess as Us star' , had
i phenomenal run of more than four
ears at a New York theater. Mr.
lurgcss was born in Boston in 1851 ,
ind made his debut there. He retired
rom the stage in 1909. He had be-
'ome ' wealthy.

'HER ' SOFT ANSWER WON HIM. "
"Hello Girl " Got
How Florence Grant , ,
Her Place in "The Chorus Lady. "
NcW York , Feb. 2G. This Is not tht
story of "Florence , the Pretty Tele
phone Operator , " although Al Woods
: ould doubtless make n play with this
itle out of it. It concerns Florence
jrant , the prettiest of the pretty
. oung women woh apepar in the dress-
ng room scene with Rode Stahl In
'The Chorus Lady. "
Four month sugo Florence was sta
tioned nt the switchboard in the Han-
ry B. Harris general olllces at the
Hudson theater In New York. Had it
lot been for an accident one morning
t is probable that Florence would
still be saying "Line's busy" at the
Hudson theater switchboard. But
Fate was strong for Florence. One
norning Manager Harris lingered for
ono moment in front of the swtlch-
board , where Miss Grant had just cor
rected central's reading of the line :
'Bryant 6. > : ! 42. " Struck by the clear
voice and her earnestness the man
ager stopped and said : "Miss Grant ,
how would you like to go with Miss
Stahl next season ? "
"In a minute , " said Florence In the
vernacular which has made Rose
Stahl famous , and In live minutes her
name was affixed to a contract and
the next day she reported for her
rehearsals.
HAVE YOU GOOD MOTION HABITS ?
They're of More Value Than Words , a
Lectureron Poetic Dancing Says.
New York , Feb. 25. "Can you make
yourself understood without speaking ?
Have you good motion habits ? "
"Can you tell what a friend really
means by the way he carries his arms
and holds his head ? "
These are pertinent questions in
spired by the address of Mrs. Mary
Perry King , who appeared yesterday
afternoon at Mendelssohn hall in a
presentation of American poetic danc
ing. The remarks of Mrs. King con
cerned poetic motion as a really nec
essary quantity in the development of
character.
"Good motion habits , " she said , "are
essential to good breeding. To acquire
them scientifically in some cases is
difficult , but delightful. A woman's in
tuition is nothing less than an ability
to read signs , motions of the body , ex
pressions of the face and these are of
really more value to her than the
words she hears. With her , success is
not so much talk as it is movement.
The arts of grace may not be circum
scribed. "
Tots Visit Postoffice.
John R. Hays , Norfolk's postmaster
was host to Miss lone Chappell and
Miss Witzlgman who chaperoned the
kindergarten class of the Lincoln
school on a tour of inspection through
the Norfolk postoffice Friday after
noon. At school the little tots were
given a description of the way Uncle
Sam carries the mall and later they
wore taken to the postoffice , where
Postmaster Hays and Miss Chappell
explained to them the mysteries of
how the letters come and po.
The little ones came prepared for
the occasion being armed with post
cards of their own handiwork which
when poperly posted under the direc
tion of Miss Chappell were mailed to
their parents and friends. From the
lobby of the postofflce where the
mysteries of the various windows and
boxes were explained to them the
kindergarten class found their "part
ners" and marched through the pri
vate office of the postmaster Into the
busy room of the clerks and carriers
where they each wore shown where
the "postman" who comes to their
homes each day , gets the letters.
"Our postman Is Charley Ritchie , "
spoke up one little tot , addressing
the postmaster. "Where does he get
our mall ? " He was taken to where
the carrier in question was seated
busily engaged in sorting out his mall
for his afternoon route.
The money order registry and
managing departments were then re
vealed to the tots. At the railroad
and distributing department the mys
lories of where "all the letters go'
was a feature of the afternoon's les
son for the little ones. Here they
made their final stand with a song
entitled "Mister Postman" which the >
sang for the handlers of Uncle Sam's
mall.

Girls Learn to Drive Nails.
Wayne , Neb. , Feb. 26. Special to
The News : Some of the girls of
northern Nebraska can drive nails bet-
er than their fathers , can equal the
, -eteran carpenter at sawing a straight
Ine and can turn out lathe work that
ias the earmarks of the expert's hand.
When they get married they'll be
able to repair the broken chairs ,
straighten up warped doors , turn out
rolling pins on a lathe with their
own hands , and , if need be , help to
build the family dwelling house.
It's something new this radical de
parture of girls into the heavy manual
abor that has been performed since
the time of Father Adam , when at
ill , by the masculine end of the human
'amlly. But It demonstrates that
: here's little the north Nebraska girl
hasn't the nerve to undertake.
It Is In the manual training depart
ment of the Wayne Normal school
that this "new girl" has come into ex
istence.
Here she goes , with the hard-mus
cled sons from the farm , and does
her share of the class work In ham
mering things together , driving nails ,
cutting boards to pieces in straight
lines with the saw and turning out
real lathe work.
While the boys wear overalls , the
girls In the class wear great , big
aprons like their mothers used to
make. And they pitch into the work
like professionals.
Besides using the knowledge when
they get out to teaching school , they
will bo equipped for practical reme
dies In case of many emergencies.
Among those In the manual train
ing class at the present time are :
Lyllla Buttkowsky , Margaiet Carroll ,
Rosella Van Conette , Ethel Johnson
and Minnie Goodsell.
SATURDAY SIFTINGS.
Born to Mr. nnd Mrs. James D
Page , a daughter.
John F. Sides of Dakota City has
been re-appointed by United States

Leading her into a marriage cere
mony which she says she learned was
fraudulent after they had lived at the
Millard hotel as husband and wife for
ten days , is the charge which Mrs
May Laflln of Omaha makou agalns
Charles W. Stout , a Cambridge , Neb. ,
stockman , In a suit for $20,000 dam
ages and annulment of the purported
marriage.
Buttcrfiold & llarnum expect to
build a good permanent building of
brick and concioto at Wlnnor. S. I ) . ,
soon. The building will be llfty foot
wldo , provided for banking purposes
on ono side and a store room on the
othor. That the building will cost a
snug sum Is evident from the fact
that the hauling of brick by wagon
from Dallas , a distance of thlity miles ,
will bo necossary.
J. W. Dietrich , the now Norfolk
agent for the Northwestern , was form
erly chief dork of the Minnesota
Transfer , the flouring house for all
railroads entering the twin cltloH. In
the office wore ITiO men. under Mr.
Dietrich's supervision. This la the
largest transfer In the United States ,
outsldo of Now York and Philadelphia.
Mr. Dietrich Is not related to former
Senator Dietrich of Nebraska , but ho
looks llko he might bo big enough ,
both physically and mentally , to gracefully -
fully fill a senator's chair.
It Is reported here n swindler In
a now game Is lleoclng farmers between -
twoen Norfolk nnd Stanton out of
some of theHr hard earned money. A
telephone message reports that the
now game Is to sell cloth enough
for u man's suit or n woman's dross
for a sum ranging from ? 1.50 up
wards. The cloth will bo made up
and finished free by another member
of the "firm , " who is following up the
salesman. A number of fanners have
purchased the cloth but have yet to
see the tailor who makes the clothes.
Encampment of the milltln this year
will take place at Fort Rlley in
August instead of September as usu
ally is the custom. The Norfolk com
pany which now numbers about thir
ty-live men are vqry anxious to par
ticipate in the maneuvers and are
making strenuous efforts to increase
their number of enlisted men to for
ty-three , the minimum number of men
allowed to allow them to go to the
Kansas encampment. On account of
leaving the city two non-commissioned
officers and eight privates of the lo
cal company have been given honor
able discharges. Among them wore
Sergeant E. L. Horiskey ; Corporal
Clifford Parish ; Cooks William Jones
and Fred Johnson , Privates Clinton
Asher , William Evans , Arthur Fisher ,
Tom Merha , William S. O'Brien , Peter
Ramsey. Those men were discharged
last month. What reprimand will be
given the two soldiers who failed to
appear for the last inspection held
lore recently is not known , but that
hey are up for reprimand is common-
y reported. Captain Anderson , com-
nandlng the company here , will prob
ably deal with the men according to
heir offense. One member of tht
company came as far as from North
Dakota to attend this inspection. The
ompany here Is known all over the
state as being one of the best com-
mules of the regiment and won much
iralse not only from high officials of
he organization but from regular
army officers while on camp at Ash-
and , Neb. , last summer.
Miss Matilda Young left at noon for
i visit with relatives in Sioux City.
Joe Adams has moved his family

Asks Her to Wed His Son.
Saturday a Hosklns farmer , afte-
making a purchase at one of the local
department stores , Inquired the ago of
the accommodating clerk and asked If
she were married. He then told her
of his son , who Is 35 years of age ,
single and living all alone on a flno
farm near Hosklns. He believed she
would make his son an ideal wlfo , and
then he asked the young lady to bind
the bargain with her consent.
Whether the clerk was too overcome
with the offer , or whether silence
gives consent , the farmer has yet to
find out. The young lady blushlngly
left the fanner to wait on himself.
This second offer for n brldo does
not quite come up to the ono recently
offered a young woman clerk several
weeks ago when a farmer offered her
two farms and $2,000 for her hand in
marriage with her son.
