is frequently called upon to draw for
the benefit of the pupils in the other
rooms. Her water colors and her dec
orative work on china evince the rapid
growth of a love for painting from ma
ture which she first displayed in her
earliest childhood. Miss Blanche does
not permit the imagination of art to
interfere with the sombre truth of
history, for, next to chrysanthemum,
she admires Napoleon, and she has as
little sympathy for the semi-mythic
Grecian heroes as for the forid ex-,
travagances of rocco architecture.
She, again, is a blue eyed maid, tall
and slender, with chestnut hair and
features softly rounded.
Madison, Wis, must be a Wisconsin

HOW WILL IT WORK

SALARY ORDINANCE is
USELESS.

REDUCED
SALARIES ARE FIXED BY LAW
COUNCIL.
X THE CITY CO
The SubOrdinates Will PrObabI ,
Be the Only Suiferers-MayOr
Smith Expresses Himself.

It is the general belief that the
resolution reducing the salaries of
city officers passed by the board of
aldermen Friday night will not
amount to much, as far as the heads
of city departments are concerned.
The salaries of these officials are fixed
by legislative enactment, and the city
council, so some of the soundest law
yers say, is powerless to change them.
But the resolution also reduces the
salaries of several SubordinateS and
assistants in the various departments,
law. Among them are the assistants
in the engineering, the fire and the
police departments and the city clerks
office. These employees would appear
to be the only ones legally affected by
the resolution. 1t has been suggested,
however, that possibly the heads of
departments would accept the reduc-
tionS in their salaries rather than lug
the matter before the courts and open
ly declare themselves unwilling to ac-
cept a reasonable salary from the tax
payers.
There is little probability that the
assembly will adopt the resolution in
its present form. The majority Of that
body consider that some of the city
officials have been treated unjustly,
notably the superintendent of the
workhouse, whose salary was cut from
$500 to $4,000, and the city comptrol-
Ter, whose pay was reduced from
$4,000 to $500. 1t is contended that
the comptroller ought to receive at
least as much as the other heads of
departments, and that the superin-
tendent of the workhouse, able man
as he is, has been shamefully treated.
Assemblyman Strouse says that it was
misrepresented to the board of alder
men that Supt. Fitzgerald was al
lowed his provisions, as well as his
rent. This is not true, for the super
intendent pays for all his household
supplies.
Mayor Smith also took exception to
the statement of Alderman Hare to
the effect that he Cthe mayor was
willing to have his salary reduced.
The mayor said that he did not con-
slider the resolution legal except as
applied to the salaries of certain sub
ordinates. The other salaries had
been fixed by law, and could not be
altered by action of the city council.

The Madison school-the "old Madi-

with him. AT the age of eight he en-
tered the Webster in the first grade,
and has possessed the constant advan-
tage of being trained in one school
and according to uniform methods.
He represents very large class, there
being eighty-seven pupils who will take
the examination for "the high" Archie
himself is strictly logical. Attending
the Webster school, he is debater, and
as a 'debater, he is particularly fond of
grammar and literature. More than
that, like the great New Hampshire
statesman, he is a distinguished-look-

countenance and pleasing youthful
dignity.
Few but afrozen Winnipeger will
deny that Minnesota is a great state,
and Miss Clara Scharr does not regret
that she was born in Morris. Although
chosen as the prize eighth grade pupil
of the Garfield school, corner of George
and German streets, Miss Clara is not
yet fourteen years old. In 1889 she be-
gan her studies in the little country
town of Salem, Dakota county. Two
years later she entered the Garfield
school in the A fourth grade. Miss

society. she has already dore much ex-
cellent work in charitable direction.
Miss Lucia Miller, the principal Of
the Webster school, at Laurel and
Mackubin streets, when asked the
name of her best eighth grade pupil,
certainly hesitated, but she was not
lost. Indeed, she replied shortly that,
despite grammar and logic, she had
three or four best" pupils. One of
these is Archie H. Vernon, who is
chosen because he is president of the
literary society of his room, ''and a
right good captain, toe," we may add,
Pinaforeacally. Fifteen years ago
Archie was born in Madison, Wis. At
the age of six he began to distinguish
the advantages of location, and with
Characteristic independence he re-

and little over a year ago she again
changed to the Jefferson seventh
grade. Her class is a large one, anN

very retiring, thoughtful girl, of excep-
tionally good department. School
teachers have queer notions, and do
not agree with that settled conviction,
of uncles and very big brothers tIaE
little girls cannot possibly be bad Miss.
Rubys hair is dark, and her blue eyes
are not as light colored as some blue
eyes that we have already enumerated.
She finds her thirteen years as much of

Benjamin Franklin. according to
Mark Twain, took a fiendish delight
in affecting mankind-first, with
aphorisns to destroy all innocent
pleasures and tranquil enjoyment of
life, and next, by attaching his name
to stove that would "smoke ones

not live to christen the Franklin

deep regret, no doubt, this school has

about fifteen years ago. In 1887 she en-
tered private school, and five years
later began in the B sixth grade of the
Van Buren. She is practical, and void
of foolish romance, SO common in
young girls. She sighs for nothing
but quotients, yearns not save for
trial divisors, and she dreams but of
heroes who can add three columns
simultaneously. Briefly, she adores
arithmetic. Arithmetical fervor has
not paled her rosy cheeks, and, it is
needless to add. she too is a blue
eyed girl.
