Won His Girl From Her Father.
He was a mild young fellow, and, as
his sweetheart imagined. without much
force of character. as he kept putting
the TASK papa" day off indefinitely. So
the young woman prompted him to be
sure he was right and go ahead.
You see, papa has a great deal of

A Splendid Gift.

The Presbyterian church people are
happy. They are in receipt Of an ele.
giant set OF pulpit furniture, which is
the magnificent. gift of Mrs. Il. A.
Springer and Mrs. Peirce of Chicago.
Some time ago Mrs. E. J.. Moore took
1t upon herself to secure a set Of chairs
for the pulpit, and when MIR. Springer
was here in the spring she approached
him for a donation. To her great sur.
prise he assured her that he would take
the matter in hand and would see that
the church got the set without further
ado. He was true to his word. 1t is
an elegant set and probably did not
cost less than $3.50.

sitions at the home through his infiu-
ence, the governor being a Wisconsin
soldier. He has also effected much in
the construction of new buildings and
the improvement and repair of those
already on the ground. thus providing
increased comforts for the old soldiers
who make their home there.
A soldiers monument, which is to be
one of the most beautiful and impos-
ing in the country. and in which every
old soldier and all citizens of Milwau-
kee and of Wisconsin at large will
take pardonable pride, has been donated
by Col. Mitchell, and is now in process
Of construction. The cost will be about
$4,000
Col. Mitchell takes great pride in his
record us a soldier, and he is found in
the ranks whenever or wherever the
old soldiers are gathered together.
John l.. Mitchell is and has been for
many years practical farmer and
Stock-raiser. He resides on his fine
farm, near Milwaukee, devoting the
greater portion of his time to rural
pursuits. He has for many years been
IN active cooperation with the state
agricultural society, and for several
years gave his undivided attention to
supervising the horse department. Col.
Mitchell has been for many years a
member of the executive committee.
and was for two years president Of the
society and is now vice-president. While
occupying the office of president he de-
voted much Of his time to the discharge
of his duties and took a deep interest
in the success of the fair. 1t is fact
that no man in the state has done as
much for the state agricultural society
as has John L. Mitchell When the
buildings blew down Il few years ago
he advanced the money to rebuild
them, and he has advanced the amount
needed whenever the society has
been short Of money.
4, Col. Mitchell is now, and has been for
many years, president of the Wisconsin
Trotting Horse Breeders association
and of the Northwestern Trotting Horse
, Breeders association. In the latter po-
sition he has accomplished much to-
wards purifying the business of speed
ing horses, and a large share of the
/ credit for the advancement Of the
horse breeding interest in the west is
due to him. But the great interest
which Mr.. Mitchell feels in the advance
ment of agriculture in the state is best
shown by the forty yearly scholarships
in the short agricultural course at the
