Woman is a paradox-a puzzle
Even Shakespeare was sometimes

infinite multiformity of woman's char.

rose should be planted early, before
the buds begin to start much; but
later planting may be successful un.
der favoring circumstances. The
rose likes q good rich soil, with
favorable exposure the soil should
never lack for moisture, neither should
it be wet one. The best soil is

THE bridge on the Chicago

THE bridge on the Chicago, Mil

ing the "wide-spread." so to speak,
emptying into lake Waubesa, about
five miles east of the west Madison
depot, was destroyed by fire, yester-
day afternoon, the fire caught from
train No. 2, which passed over
about noon. The fire was discover
ed By farmer near the bridge. He
attempted to extiDguish il, but
could not. He then brought word
to Mr.. Stone, the agent OF the COM
pany IN this city. Engines and men
were sent down, but the flames had
committed their worst work Ibe
ak O'Clock passenger train last eve
ming from Milwaukee, came by the
way of Waterfowl. The bridge
will be rebuilt at once. In the
meantime trains to and from Mil
waukee will run by way of Water
town. The passenger train to arrive
here from the east from Milwaukee,
via Milton Junction, had reached
Waukesna before hearing Of the
burnt bridge. 1t was ordered to re-
turn to Brookfield Junction, and
there take the road TO Madison, via
Waterfowl; but an engine and car
were provided to take the mail and
Passengers out on he old road as
far as Mcfarland, three miles east
of the burnt bridge. Thus it will be
seen that the company suffered no
delay to take place on account of
the decentralization Democrat.

Playing With FIREARMS

Ono OF those practical jokers who
point firearms, supposed not
to he loaded, at persons
"in fun" was treated according to
bis deserts in Iowa recently, as We
learn from the report OF State
against IIardie,4 Az Iowa, 647. The hu-
mo:ous gentlman in question UNDER
took to brighten lady neighbor with
revolver. The weapon somehow
went off, and the lady died of the
fright. The court thought this WAS
manslughter, and sent the joker to
prison fer year to give him an'op-
poftnity for reflection. The despair
of iae unfortunate man when be dis
covered his mistake, his threats Of
killing himself, and his violence, me-
cessitating the tying him with ropes
were not deemed Of sufficient ac-
count to dispense with the restraint
of the prison. The prisoners counsel
requested the court TO charge the
jury that be was not blamable if his
act was what any man of ordinary
prudence and caution might have
done. The court declined, observing:
mo jury would be warranted in
finding that man of ordinary pru-
dence so conduct themselves. Hu-
man life is not to be sported with
by the use Of firearms even though
the person using them may have
good reason TO believe that the
weapon used ia not loaded, and will
do no injury. When persons engage
10 such reckless sport they shonld
oe held liable for the consequences

oourne,of that important but deli
cate fact, and the following day the
Prince had an audience with the
Queen. The two lovers were placed
~ a very peculiar position. The
social position of Victoria was so
superior to that of Prince Albert,
th.t he could not make the first ad-
vance, nor offer the lady his hand,
as is usually the case between low
ers now. a-days. 1t was rather for
her to make the proposition, and Of
fer her hand, and she accomplished
the somewhat unusual task in very
skillful manner. With gracious
smile she handed the Prince small
bouquet of flowers, which he placed
rs near as possible to his heart. As
he had no button hole or pocket in
that region of his close. fitting uni
form, he took his penknife, cut
slit, and slipped in the precious to-
ken. He then expressed his thank
fitness and pleasure at being so well
received at the English Court and
especially at bis reception by the
Queen. in reply to which she asked
him the tell-tale question: off the
country pleases your highness SO
we'll, perhaps you would not object
to remain with us D The Prince
replied that was the great desire of
bis life, and tho Queen, feeling The
decisive moment had come, though
quivering with womanly dellcacy,
confessed to him honestly her great
love for him, and assured him that

For he could be nothing
moro than her husband, and have
nothing TO do with political affairs.
The Prince was charmed and capitu-
lated Internationally. They were
on the 10th of February,
1910. Their marriage was in every
way happy one, and their welded
life unalloyed until death seized the
Prince as mis- prey. CaIumny and
intrigue never poisoned the sweet-
ness OF their family life. which
stands to-day as model, not only
for crowned heads, but also for the
