The Wisconsin Republicans. who met In

'paroehial schools supported without aid
from public funds, and diselaimed abso-
lutely any purpose whatever TO interfere
In any manner with such schools, either as
to their terms, government or branches to
be taught therein, They affirmed the right
and duty of the State to enact laws that
will guarantee all children sufficient in
struotion in the legal language of
tho State TO enable them to read

compulsory education law passed by the
last legislature is wise and humane in all

asserted that the parent OF guardian has

pledged themselves to modify the existing
law SO that it shall conform to the fore

that all children between the ages of seven
and thirteen years should be protected by
appropriate legislation from the evils,
physical and mental, arising from their
employment in factories and similar places
of work, and that adequate provision
should be made for the care of children

Pioneer Farming

from the Ashtabula, O., Sentinell
On Saturday we were at the court house
door when Mr.. Northway sold at admins
trator's sale tract of one hundred and
five acres in Orwell for seventeen hundred
and thirty-fve dollars, or about ten dol
lars and fifty cents an acre. That is aot
a very high price, certainly, for land of
fair quality in a good neighborhood on
the western reserve. James Herrick came
along, and we bantered him to buy it, but
he declined, saying that no man could buy
land, even at that price, and pay for it off
the land-and live as farmers do now.
He then said: 'tWhen I was boy, for
eight months one year we did not have a
loaf of white bread in our house. One
wear we had three acres of wheat which
was very tall and heavy growth and prom
ised a great yield. About the middle of
June it was struck with black rust and we
did not get pint of wheat off the field.
The same fall the frost killed the corn and
we did not have even bushel to grind.
We had sold our cheese at four and one
half cents o pound to Joab Austin and
had not taken it quite all out at the store,
and as a great favor he paid the balance in
money, which my father took and went
almost to the center of the state and
bought six bushels of wheat for bread and
seed.n Mr.. Herrick said that the first
money he earned after coming of age was
ten dollars, which he got in cash, and very
soon after bought twenty good sheep with
the money. Now it would be ten very
poor sheep you could get for twenty good
dollars,

The Highway Cow.


The hue of her hide was a dusky brown,
Her body was lean and her neck was slim;
One horn turned up and the other down;
She was keenoDf vision and long of limb.
And ribs like the hoops on a homemade pail
Many a mark did her body bear
She had been a target for all things known,
On many a scar the dusky hair
Would grow no more where 1t once had grown;
Many passionate parting shot
Had left upon her. "a lasting spot.
Many and many a we'll aimed stone,
Many brickbat Of goodly size
And many cudgel, swiftly thrown,
ltHad brought the tears to her bovine eyes,
Or had bounded of from her bony back
With noise like the sound of a rifle crack
Many day had she passed in the pound
For helping herself to the neighbor's corn;
Many a cowardly cur and hound
Had been transfixed on her crumpled horn;
Many a teapot and OLD tin pail
Had the farmer boys tied to her time-worn tail.
The MOSES grew on the garden wall,
The years went by with their work and play,
The boys of the village grew strong and tall,
And the gray haired farmer passed away
One by one and the red leaves fall
But the highway COW outlived them all.
An earthly creatures must have their day, =
And some must have their months and years;
Some in dying will long delay
There is a climax to all careers;
And the highway cow at last was slain
In running q race with a railway train.
All into pieces at once she went,
just like the savings banks when they fail;
Out OF the world she was swiftly sent
little was left but her old stump tail
The farmers cornfields and gardens now
Are haunted no more by the highway COW.

TRANsFER OF REAL ESTATE.

TRANSFER OF REAL ESTATE.
Before long there will be general move
ment toward simplicity in the transfer of
real estate. Such movement ought to
have Been made long ago. There is no
good reason why there should be such di :
ficulty and expense in the transfer of land.
New York Is the first state in this country
to make start in this direction. On
January next new law will go into
effect in the city of New York. BY this
law tho city is to be divided into thirteen
sections, each section numbered; within
each section the blocks are to be num-
bered, and within each block the lots.
Each block has its record book and in
dex. There will be separate indexes
for deeds and mortgages After these
indexes are put into use next jan
uary, n person wishing to learn what
deeds or mortgages have been recorded af
fecting any particular lot will only need to
look ut the index book under the diagram
of the block in which the property is sit
uated, where he will find at glance ref
erence to all papers which have been re-
corded affecting that block. All prior
transfers will also be indexed and record
ed, until transcript from this block reg
lister becomes certificate of title. In this
way, it Is believed, the element of risk in
real estate transfers arising from imperfect
titles will be eliminated. Convenience is
to be secured by removing every statutory
obstacle in the way of easy transfer of
title.
II will be interesting to see how this
plan works. The Indications are that IL

REWARD OF PERs1sTENcY.

An italian PeddIer Gets More for
His Wares Than He Bargafned
For.
From the New York Tribune.l
The persistency of the street fakir in
pressing his wares on reluctant purchasers
is well known, and in many cases defeats
its own object, but in an equal number of
cases, probably, it succeeds. One often
sive italian peddler met with rather
mixed reward, however, Sunday, which
must have left some doubt in his mind as
to whether he had done well on the whole
or ill. He was selling small pinwheelss of
bright colored paper, near the main en-
trance TO Prospect park, when a well
dressed young mechanic came along with a
bright, clean, handsome little boy of five
years. The fond mother who accompa-
MED them never took her eyes long from
her darling son.. and her eyes seemed to
say to all who beheld her, s'He Is just as
good as he is pretty"

with his dozens of gay little wheels whir-
ring In the wind. Seductively he said,

a painful accident occurred at Sullivan
yesterday. A gang of men was employed
on the Denver Water company's extension
works A teamster, whose name is un-
known, got into fracas with his horses.
Becoming refractory, they ran ON the dead
gallop. The teamster's feet were tangled
up in the reins and he was thrown head
long into a compact bed of cactus plants.
As the man had ON only thin shirt and
pair of overalls, the result Of the contact
can be easily imagined. His shirt was
torn from his back and his back almost
literally robbed of it's hide. He was car
ried into house in a suffering state, his
body pierced with nettles that he could
not lie down. The attending men did
what they could to extract the nettles and
relieve the man of his acute pain. In the
meantime the horses cayorted around like
mad, and il was not until the men had
formed two big squads that the wild beasts
could be cornered and subiugated.
