Tho Twins.
It's really hard for me 10 tell,
Especially in rhyme,

They had such pretty little ears,
And such delightful hair
Those twins!

A crush collar of silk finishes the neck.
The lower portions OF sleeves are faced

BATS CATCHING FLIES.

A gentleman who went into the
woods region on a hunting excursion
and put up" at a farmhouse in a
remote clearing, was annoyed during
the daytime with the abundance of
flies that found access to the house.
But when twilight or evening came he
was treated to an exhibition of fly
catching that more than repaid him
for his vexation. The windows were
opened as the darkness settled down,
and the hostess tallow dip only par
italy dispelled the gloom in the old
fashioned kitchen, when he suddenly
became aware of odd creatures darting
to and fro in the room, often coming
almost into his face, while a queer
little noise of ''snip, snip, snip" seem
ed for the wings, and sure enough the
tons. For an instant he was startled,
not knowing what to make Of such
intrpders.
cts only the bats" said the land
lady quietly, as she pursued her work.
They're catching flies. Don't you
hear 'em snip off their wings? There'u
be hundreds of fly wings on the floor
here in the morning.
The gentleman arose early and look
ed Off the wings, and sure enough the
floor and tables were Uttered with
them.-LeWiston Evening Journal.

quit the service Of employers from
olack-hsung, such as have indicated,
1t should, in my Judgment, be so
amended as to plainly include it
1t is Of the highest Importance that
the best possible relations should ex
lst between capital and labor. Neithe-
should be permitted to invade the
rights of the other; each should deal
with the other in the spirit of concilia-
uon, and in the settlement of differ
ences, arbitra ton should, so far as
possible, be made to take the place of
strikes and lock-outS
L confess l do not see my way clear
to any efficient scheme of compulsory
arbitration, under existing constitu-
tional provisions; nor am I certain that
such & scheme is possible, without in
volving the surrender, by both labor
and capital of rights which men hold
to be very sacred. 1t must be borne
in mind that the right of men to con-
tract with each other is fundamental
in our constitution, and that any
SubrOgatiOn of this right must work
| serious disadvantage to all concerned.
/ | am not willing to admit, however,
that the state may not, through the
/ investigation and conciliatory inter,
vention of officials provided for by
| law. do much toward bringing about
| the adjustment of differences between
labor and capital which shall be al
once honorable and fair to both sides
of

Education.
No Surer evidence of the growth OF
people is to be found than its in
terest in and support Of education
This is especially true of a people who
govern themselves. The trainers OF
our constitution wisely provided Il per
manent system of popular education
TO be supported by taxation. This has
been supplemented by grants from the
national domain. Wisconsin has long
INDUCED a just pride i'll its system OF
public schools and in the high stand
ard of scholarship when us been at
tanned and held by them. L know il
Will be your pleasure to foster the
system i'll every way which in your
Judgment is needed.
The last legislature made provision
for revising tile present school laws OF
the state, thus a1IOrding an oppor-
tunltS TO remedy such defects us past
eAper ence may have disclosed. The
report OF tie state superintendent OF
pubic instruction, recently issued, i'll
dicates that in compliance with the
provision above referred to, bill is
TO be submitted at this session EN-
bodying important notifications of eX-
listing laws.
The annual loss to the school fund
from the failure on the part of cities
TO properly return the proceeds of
penal fines merits your serious atten-
ton. Obedience to the law should
be enforced, at least until provisions
of the constitution relating to the sub
Ject can be amended and the laws are
repealed.
During the past eight years, accord
ing TO the report Of the state super
ntendent of public instruction, over
,hree thousand small libraries have
been established in the country schools
of the state. These libraries .re broad
ening and lettering not only the
schools, but the homes of multitudes
OF children. and they should be ex-
tended until their influence reaches
all the children in the commonwealth.

message delivered to the legislature of
Wisconsin, Thursday, January 10:
To the Honorable The Legislature
1t becomes my duty at this time, as
the executive of the state, to briefly
review the condition of state affairs
and to submit to you such RECOMMEND
dations as seem to me to be called for.
You are assembled under conditions
which are unique in the history of the
state and nation. The country has
been subjected to one OF the most dis
astrouS financial disturbances ever
known; yet such are the recuperatlye
qualities of the American people that
from the very depths OF financial dis
aster they are emerging hopeful and
courageous.
Our own state has suffered less, per-
haps, than many others. We have
reason to be thankful to the PrOvi-
dence which has shaped our affairs
and allotted to us such diversity OF
nationaliUies and SO great a variety
OF resources, that no ordinary disaster
can seriously disturb our financial OIL
social ecohomy. We have reason, also
TO be grateful chat our state has been
so free from dangerous epidemlcS; anC
exempt from those manifestations OF
lawlessneSs which have distressed
other states. We may we'll be prouC
of our varied and enormous resources
In them the people have rich herl
tage, when it becomes your duty to Sc
husband by wise legislation chat
may be transmitted unimpalred u
future generations.
There will be submitted to you detail
reports of the various department;
of the state government and the lnStl
buttons und9 II their charge. These,
doubt not, will receive your careful
attention.

A sofa pillow that would be charm
inSly suitable for certain styles of
rooms is made of thick satin of the
color called Egyptian red. The pattern
drawn upon the surface is an imitation
Of the decoration upon Egyptian pot
terry, being mostly human figures
drawn in profile and some few SYM
bollCal forms. The pattern is not
worked in any way, but the satin
ground is entirely covered with darn
ing in black silk. Large reversed
points of half diamonds are set to-
gether and left bare like figures all
around the edge covering the seam
The figures, which are from three to
five inches high, are arranged as if
crossing the cushion professionally.
The darning, although closely done,
does not prevent a CLEAN Of the satin
coming through.
