"Think twice before you believe
every evil story you hear, and think
twenty times before you repeat it,
especially if it is about woman.

An exchange has been delving
among the census figures, and finds
that as compared with many of the
western States, and many of the older
ones, Wisconsin is getting to be one
of the wealthiest of them, as is shown
by the recent census, which, by the
way, is revealing many secrets hereto
fore unknown. The actual real and
personal estate in Wisconsin is crater
than that of California by $4,000
900; and is five times as wealthy as
the great State of Texas, four times as
rich as Kansas, three times as rich as
Minnesota, and twice as rich as Vir-
ginia; and the average wealth of
each person, supposing the wealth to
be distributed equally to every man,
woman and child, is 756,00 while that
of Kansas is $51835 Mich. $607.41,
Iowa $6O1.03, Texas 1914. 80.

and but a small fraction of her resour-
ces have been deve Hoped.
