ton.

The prohibitionistS of Iowa county
did not turn out to their mass conven-
ton held at Dodgeville on Wednesday
evening last. although the State Dele
gate and the Secretary of the Prohibi-
ton Association were on hand in good
season. The meeting was attended
only by Dodgeyille people. scarcely any
other town being represented. The
audience seemed to be made up of about
an equal number of prohibitionists
and ti-prohibitionistS.
J. w. Hallam made the first address
and with apparently indisputable fg-
urcs and statements gave reasons for
the faith that was in him.
T. C. Richmond. of Green county,
next spoke in his own forcible manner.
giving his reasons for appearing rs a
representative of the prohibition party,
and although he used the purest Anglo
Saxon. he had evidently not learned
the favorite trick of willy politicians in
uttering meaningless though beauti-
fully rounded sentences. He strove to
impress the idea that the action OF an
individual or community had lately
come to be of more Importance than
ever before. wing to the rapidity with
which news upon all matters is being
disseminated through the medium of
the modern newspaper and electric
telegraph with their constantly increas-
I ing territory. The speaker stated that
the only political issue before the
people of this State was the question
of a prohibitory amendment. He also
said 1.-The poorest man in Wisconsin
was the man who did not own him
/ SELF" and in this connection the speak
er plainly showed how despicable were
those Republicans, who, out of selfish
and inordinate desire for the loayes
and fishes, fail to vote the prohibition
ticket through fear of hurting the
party

How She Got Even.

fiendish method of getting evea with

make the piazzas here lively later in the

and watching for an opportunity when
no one was in particular tank except

Seance, he dropped in the crustaceans

minutes longer, when she sud-

with crab hanging on to her pink little
toe. She had several consecutive
epileptic fits while the marine corn
doctor was being removed. The Me-
phistophelean glee of the broker, how
ever, gave him away, and for fear of
some counter-trick he decided to bathe
early in the morning thereafter. A few
days after that the bath-house keeper
was startled by some terrific yel.s, and
hastily entering the tank-house he be-
held the broker fioundering out with a
big, iagged-toothed spring rat-trap

shouldn't have had my dress made in
this delightful, old-fashioned way, nor
should I have been carrying Grand
mamma Ansdell's work bag, nor should
have been knitting lace such as your
Aunt Mahala made so long ago; and
you know very we'll, Rob, that it was
all this which pleased the dear old lady"
"Then we'll call it Providence work
ing in our behalf, and be thankful for
evermore," said.
"And you will do something for your
cousins, who will be terribly disap-
pointed" pleaded tender-hearted Ray.
Certainly" 1 replied. "I always
intended to help them if the money
came to me-"
The next day Aunt BIahala informed
me that might get into any branch of
business that desired, and she would
furnish the money.
"You have some business TACT" she
said, condescendingly, ''and with such
wife as Rachel Ansdell, you can't go far

to emphasize my thanks, at which she

how Aunt Mahala liked Ray. She did
not keep him long in suspense, but
sounded her praises until he appeared
to grow tired of listening.

my eye on" he said, lightly.

verging on the poetical.
The old lady has never lost her good
opinion of Ray, but always looks upon
her with especial favor. She is losing
some OF her sharpness of tongue and
temper, too. L think she is ashamed to
indulge before Ray, who is good nature
and sunshine itself. If she keeps on
improving she will be quite lovable
old lady, but however that rnay be, Ra,

owe her.
