WILL MAaLENE ANSWERED.
&C FRIEND: In answer TO Will Marlene's enes-
ton, How does the sun appear TO rise la north
east and shine in north window when we are IN
latitude 4lo?" | would say that the latitude
makes difference. AT the time of the equinox
the rises and sets directly i'll the east aud west
points in any latitude. At the time OF the sum-
solstice il rises 231 north of the east point,
aud therefore can shine In a window in any lati-
tude This is due to the inclination of the earths
axis from the plane of its orbit Yours loyaly-Jack

BADGER GUARDS, LIFT!
DEAR BROTHERS AND SISTERS: In her Kings
Daughters Department of the September Ladies
Home Journal Mrs Bottome tells this little story.
which points a lesson TO the Guards OF Wisconsin,

1.-Two colored men were engaged in loading
cart and one having hard Time, for the other
was only pretending to lit. AT last the one who
doing the most work stopped and looked at
the other, and said: Sambo, do you specks TO 20
to Heaven OF course does was the answer.
Then said the other. solemnly, you will have 10
lift, 90
Ircceived letter not long ago from one of Wis
consins earnest Guards. 1t told of repeated fall
ures in attempts TO obtain support from members
of Wisconsin Division, and predicted y failure Tor
the Division unless we soon awoke from our pres
ent apathy and turned again to the work 50 EARN
estly beg un.
As read and reread the letter the words of the
poor oarkey kept coming to my mind, and SAID
to myself, You will have 10 lift" Can we much
wonder if our officers tired of lifting alone?
Let show our Commander and our sister States
that we are not pretenders We must have a nag.
Are you going to help US? We want Reunion.
Will you be there? Come! Are you still loyal TO
our cause? Then we can win the day. Loyalty,
