obelisks, Mr. Prentice remarked that
he could surpass the largest
Egyptian production from among
his quarries on the Bayfield,
shore of Chequamegon Bay, or on one
of the numerous Apostle islands. To
Mr.. Fifield it hardly seemed feasible,
but the earneStness of Mr. Prentice
and his declaration that if the State
Of Wisconsin would accept and
erect the monument he would de-
liver it to the State without cost,
for a State exhibit at the Worlds
Fair, so impressed Mr.. Fitield that he
opened communication with the
Board of Worlds Fair Managers.
This correspondence, although APP
pearing to the commission to suggest
an impossibility, led them to make a
visit to Ashland, and, in company
with Mr.. Prentice. to view the quar-
ries. After looking over the ground,
they practically accepted Mr.. Prem
tees generous tender, and agreed to
take the stone as soon as it was broken
from it's bed, and move and erect the
same on the grounds to be designated
by the Fair officials at Chicago. Ac-
cordingly work was commenced at
once with five steam channclers and
about forty. men, and the work has
been pushed until the large pillar was
worked out.
The monolith is of Lake Superior
brown stone Mr.. Prentice's first
proposition to furnish the monOlith
was for a stone just trille larger
than the Egyptian oDelisk, which is
1O5 feet inches. exclusive Of the
foundation, and feet square at the
base. He first intended the monolith
to be JOG feet in length and 8 feet 2
inches at the base, but upon a later
consideration decided to have it lis
feet long, 10 feet at the base, and 4
feet square al the top. The apex
will be about 5 feet long, and will be
tapered to about a 6-inch tip. The
entire monolith will rest upon foun-
dation Of granite 10 feet high and II
feet square.

represent the United States abroad as
Minister Plenipotentiary. Mr.. Lincoln
did not think 1t proper to confer this
honor upon the actor, and break In
their friendship was the result. That
is the way in which presidential friend
ships usually end. A President can
hardly venture to indulge an intimacy
with anybody, because il he does so the
person admitted to confidence almost in
variably demands something which can
not be granted. In this respect Pres
ident Of the United States Is most I'M
fortunate. Scarcely any tramp Is SO
entirely friendless as he. Those whose
friendship Is most desirable shrink from
approaching him lest their motives be
misconstrued, and he Is perpetually
surrounded by q crowd Of political and
other sycophants. 1t Is hardly possible
for him to have q real friend.
President Pierce was enormously
popular Every day he took regular
constitutional from the White House to
the Capitol along Pennsylvania avenue
and back, bowling to everybody right
and left. He and his wife paid social
visits regularly, quite contrary to usage,
to the families of their New Hampshire
friends who had clerkships in the de-
partments, and he entertained them as
guests. President Harrison the first
used to go to market early in the morn
ing two or three times a week, and on
one occasion he was caught in the rain,
the result being cold which caused
his death. Mrs. Polk would not allow
dancing at the White House when her
husband was President.
President Tyler was very social man
and enjoyed a game Of poker for small
stakes. He lived very simply at the
White House, as if on his plantation,
attended by the old family slaves. He

tory and is very proud Of her Off
springs prominence. He was born in
North Topeka Jan. 25, 1860. His
mother died when he was 3 years Of
age, and he was brought up by his
fathers parents. He was literally
the architect Of his own fortunes,
having been jockey until his 10th
year, commencing as soon as he could
manage horse. He rode horses
summers in Texas, Arizona, Colorado,
Louisiana, Iowa, and Missouri and
attended school winters, thus secur-
ing an education. In 1876 and 1877
he drove night hack to support him
self, going to school daytimes. In
1878 he had the rights of majority
conferred by the district court OF
Shawnee County. In 1879 he entered
a law office and in 1884 was elected
County Attorney. He received the
Republican nomination for Congress
last June, made house to house eau
vass, and was elected by majority
Of 5000 over a fusion candidate.
A striking incident of his canvass
was the appearance in his audience
in the south part of his district of his
Indian grandmother, who wept tears
of JOY at the @big talk" of Charlie.
When the speech was over he went
down to her and kissed her, amid the
applause of the crowd. He is an elo-

THE VICTIM OF A FRAUD.
A Leading Geographical Magazine I'm
posed Upon by Traveller.

A Leading Geographical Magazine I'm
posed Upon by a Traveller.
One of the leading geographical
magazines, Petermann's Mittheilun-
gen, has been made the victim of liter
ary dishonesty. In the April and May,
1892, numbers of the magazine Mr..
A. j. Ceyp describes a journey which,
he asserted, he had made recently to
the frontier of Beloochistan.
He described the country minutely,
told of the desolate and sandy regions
he crossed on his way, of the robbers
who lurked in the ravines ready to
plunder caravans, of the settlements
found here and there in widely sep
arated oases, and of the large town of
Yezb, the original home of the Parsis.
His story was interesting, and as his
route lay through a region that was
almost unknown, and as it abounded
with geographical detail of apparent
accuracy, the magazine made the mar
rative very prominent.
In the August number of the Nit
theilungen, the editor printed con-
spicuously the facts that Ceyp's narra-
tive proves to be nothing more than an
accurate transcript of the travel
sketches of Gasteiger Khan, which
were published at Innsbruck in 1881.
The fraud is somewhat similar to
that imposed by Captain Glazier, when
he sent an article containing large ex-
tracts from Schoolcraft's account of
his journey to the source of the Mis-
sissippi as record of his own visit to
Lake Itasca. 1t is very seldom that
Petermann's Mittheilungen makes an
important blunder in geographical
matters but it has beeh imposed upon
by the most glaring piece of plagiarism
that has come to light for long time.

It win be necessary as time wear

1t will be necessary as time wears
on to change the system and habit of
legislation in this boasted republic of
ours. Now bills are introduced in all
our Legislative bodies by the basket
full, each legislator, whether with any
definite object in view or not contrib
uting his share, simply hoping to "do
something" to commend him to his
constituents and secure his re-elect-
ion. To be sure many of these bills
are shelved in the committee room,
but too many of them, without being
duly considered, become laws of the
land. Effects are naturally unsatis-
factory, and succeeding Legislature
amend, repeal and add to, doing
their work in the same slipshod and
careless manner. This process
has gone on until our statute books,
both state and national, resemble
huge block of crazy patchwork.
There is too much that is unwise,
demagogic and vicious and too little
of the evidence of careful study and
disinterested craftsmanship. There
is too much change and too little that
is abiding. Important business
interests are kept in turmoil. Panics
prevail and everything is uncertain
and unsettled. That halt must be
called, all thoughtful persons will ad-
NIT. This habit of over-legislation
must be corrected. Fewer and better
laws must be enacted. Government
policies should be so modelled that
business and industrial interests can
be adjusted upon definite and per
manent basis and we should then be
exceedingly slow in shouting for "a
change" Those Legislators who
organize a we'll defined reform move.
ment along these lines will win the
lasting gratitude of a long suffering
people.

With Good Results.
A few years ago DIR. Livingstone, ,one
or two others and myself were camp
ing. We had canned plum pudding
which we priced very highly, and a
stable boy who was not bad in his
way. Just as we reached Saratoga
Springs the plum pudding disappeared,
and we rather suspected the stable
boy, but suspicion wouldn't tickle our
palates or fill our stomachs
In our outfit was an electric battery,
and determined to try it as a thief
catcher and mechanical detective. l
herded all the cooks, scullions and
walters about the place and stood
them in a row with the stable boy.
Then made them a little speech. tell
ing of the theft of the plum pudding
and asking the guilty one to confess.
No one peeped, and the most innocent
appearing person in the company was
the suspected stable boy.
Very WE'LL" [ said sternly, "we
have here an instrument which de-
tects thieves as surely as camera
takes photographs. The innocent it
will in no way affect, but it will cause
the guilty to suffer excruciating pangs
in limbs and conscience. Doctor,
apply the test"
With this Livingstone stepped ont
with the battery. Placing the handles
of the apparatus in the hands of the
first man in the row, the do tor looked
him in the eye Il minute. but didn't
connect the electricity. Of course. the
man was not affected, AMI was de-
clared innocent.
So the doctor passed from man to
man until he came to the stable boy.
AS soon as the lad gripped the handles
Livingstone pulled the machine wide
open. That night we feastci on our
recovered plum pudding.
