"Really, really" Will returned,

"What will she think?" Fanny ven

"Perhaps you can find out for my

Mr.. Mac and Mrs. Oswood watched

"Now run and fetch her in, poor

Mrs. Oswood.
Mr.. Mac needed no instructions. He
bounded toward the grauary. He al
most carried her into the back parlor.
Mrs. Oswood removed her cloak and
bonnet and beheld the little lady in
shimmering silk.
"How nice it fits and so much like
your mother, my dear"
From another door entered the min

placed themselves at the end of the room

bells were heard and, Mrs. Oswood has
tily closed the doors and went out to
meet the others.

EDITOR AND PRoeRIE TOR.

The city council were asked last
Spring to grant an electric light and
power franchise TO Edward Pollock.
They consented to grant the franchise
but asked for the usual indemnity
bond. The object of the bond was to
protect the city from paying damages
fol injuries or other claims that might
arise ON cou of the construction
or operation of the PLAN. Platteville
is having an experience now which
illustrates the necessity Of such a
bond.
A young lady fell into a hole dug
for an electric light pole and sustained
serious injuries. A $10,0 600 damage
Suit is expected to follow.
Mr.. Pollock objected to the bond
and the Teller gently limited that IN
less the council should accede to its
editors request they might expect
harsh words. The council did not
yield; the harsh words have ar

The compiler of this table takes a
somewhat similar view OF the burdens
of the presidential office as that held
by Senator Sherman. He points out
that after President Van Buren, only
two of the presidents enumerated
lived beyond their expectation of life
and just reached that period. He
comments as follows on the sioniic-
anee OF this fact:
The fact seems plain to me that the
presidential office is becoming too
heavy a burden for any man to as
sumo without almost certain shorten
ing Of his life. The responsibility is
SO great, the tension so destructive,
that ! never again expect to see a
president survive the full period of
his natural expectation. The con-
tract between the longevity OF the
early presidents and the latter ones
is more noteworthy when we remem-
Der that medical science, household
hygiene and means OF travel without
exposure to the weather have all had
wonderful Development since the
days of Washington Jefferson, the
Adamses. Madison, Monroe and Jack
on. No matter how we explain the
cause, the fact remains that the early
presidents lived long lives, while
modern presidents invariably die be-
fore their time.
There would seem to be a necessity
for a radical change in the mode of
life of our chief executive. Such a
change would undoubtedly meet with
universal approval and the govern
ment would be fully as we'll and as
faithfully administered at the same
time.@State Journal

state school for the Deaf

The Wisconsin School for the Deaf
re-opens IT'S doors for its forty-fonrth
annual session on Wednesday, Sep
TENDER 11th.
The superintendent, John w. Swi-
Ter, desires to obtain the active co-oP-
Grafton of the press, OF city and coun-
ty superintendent, of teachers and OF
all school officers in securing inform
alton relative to deaf children, not in
regular attendance at any school; and
to impress upon parents and guard
ians of deaf children the Importance
of their education, and the fact that
the deaf need the moral, mental and
physical culture, which school affords
as a preparation for intelligent citi-
zenship and an independent existence
in subsequent life, more than any
other class OF people.
The state mas secured the best
available talent. and nov asks all who
are interested in education, and in
the welfare Of the community to as
sist in bringing deaf children within
which is kept mp for the benefit OF
children who are too deaf TO receive
instruction in the public schools. The
term begins the second Wednesday in
September in each year and continues
forty weeks. During the school term
board, washing, tuition and board are
FREE. and in eases of necessity
clothes, and transportation % and
from school. viii be furnished. At
the close of the term in Juue all chill
dren are returned to their homes for
the summer vacation. The school has
three separate departments. The first
..eyoted TO reading, writing, language
and all forms of composition, arithme-
tic, geography. history, natural sci
enee aud drawing. The second to
useful trades. printing, cabinet max
ing, shoemaking and baking; and the
third. the domestic department, in
which an opportunity is given to
learn sewing, cooking, baking and
various household duties.
Applicants for admission should not
be under eight or over twenty years
of age, OF sound mind and body, and
OF good moral principles. Since the
state has made such ample provisions
for the deaf it is the desire of those in
charge to so inform parents and guar
dams Of the peculiar advantages OF
this school that all deaf children may
be brought within its benign infu-
cnce. School officers and teachers
are asked to send descriptions of deaf
children, who may not be in school,
with address OF parents or guardians

In a recent interview Senator Sher-
man expressed the opinion that the
president of the United States is over
burdened by the work required Of
him and should be relieved Of all the
drudgery OF The Office by his cabinet
ministers. He said that the office had
broken down many men in the past
and would probably do so in the fut-
ure. This statement is interesting
taken in conjunction with a table pre-
pared foom the records of insurance
companies showing the age at in
augeration OF each president of the
United States, his expectation of life
and the number OF wears he actually
lived. The table is as follows.

The New Woman.

Does the new woman advocate dress
reform, and prepare garments similar
TO those worn by menP Again does
history repeat itself. It is but a brief
period in the life of a race since the
garments worm by men and women
were indistinguishable; according to
the earliest information we have on
his subject. the first garments were
made OF the same material and by the
same pattern for both sexes. If dis
tinction in dress was a matter of as
much Importance as some people seem
to think. it is a wonder that the Lord
did not make this fact apparent when
he made those first coats of skin.
This is, however. no evidence that he
thought it a matter worth consider
ing; therefore, we may conclude that
ii the new woman should appear clad
as men, that she would not be more
unseXed than they were at first.
Is the new Woman a good house
keeper? The average discoverer Of
this old new woman who is still
rubbing his eyes TO test the accuracy
Of his vision, protests that she is not.
But Solomon model woman was de-
clared to be a most excellent house
keeper. 1t is fair to presume, there
fore. that the %discoverer will find.
when the scales have entirely fallen
from his eyes. hat this modern new
woman is the very best housekeeper
ever know, because the most intelli-
gent-and the one who brings the
most intelligence to any work under
taken will secure the best results. Ii
the %discoverer OF this new m
should be 50 fortunate as TO be invited
TO her home, this statement would
have ample v%erilication.

answers with mournful accent and
long drawn sigh in a negative. The
answer is quite true, unless the sup
ply shall rapidly increase, for she is
now as happily married MS she a be,
and she has no use for the divorce
courts. Like the woman OF Israel in
the olden days. she fills the measure
Of her opportunity, doing what her
hands find to do, guided by the best
intelligence she can command.

" asked. Marriage being regarded
