FIRST OF JANUARY RESOLUTIONS.
Notions That, Carried Out. VIII Help 20

Notions That, Carried Out. viii Help 20
Make 1896 Pleasant Year.
If you wish to avoid one fruitful cause
of discomfort during the coming year,
make resolution not to grumble about
the weather. Kicking and fault finding
never made hot day cooler or cold day
warmer; but, on the other hand, they al
ways intensity the current weather trouble
immensely.
If you want to make your husband good
natured, resolve to help him to have his
own way invariably. He probably will
anyhow, and the adoption and carrying
out Of this resolution will save whole lot
of trouble.
If your wife has got in the habit of ask
ing you for money every day, resolve TO
make her a regular allowance and then
keep your resolution. You'll be as much
surprised by the result as she will DO by
the resolution.
If you have become disheartened by the
depravity of your fellow men. resolve TO
stop thinking about it and try to do
favor every day for some one of them. 1t
will amaze you to see how quickly the
world at large will improve in your eyes
If the new year finds you clean discour-
aged because of lack Of progress in 1895,
review the i2 months carefully and see if
wasted time has not been at the bottom of
your failures. If it has, resolve to make
the minutes count in 1896 A year is
made up Of minutes, and you cannot well
fail 10 advance between New Years days
If you make every minute count.
If you have had hard work keeping your
New Years resolutions in the past, resolve
this year to make none and to conduct
yourself in such way that none will be
necessary. Good practice is better than
good resolves always.

Expectancy Is SO strong in the human
breast that it amounts almost to supersti-
ton, as New Years day illustrates. No
matter how Ill success a man may have
had In all the years that have past, he is
pretty sure to believe that the New Year
will bring him a change of fortune. And
happily his belief will help him to bear
his burdens If it does not make them
lighter. What we believe may not hap
pen, but it makes the present brighter.
1t is a great pity that every day of tho
yer does not inspire and cheer AS Jan. /
Is apt 10 do. Then we should always carry
a light heart and possess a cheerful mind.

During the past ten years there has
been phenomenal increase in the
dairy industry in Wisconsin This
fact is shown by the agricultural
statistics Of 1895. now being con-
piled under the direction Of Secretary
Of State Casson. The census will
show that there are now in this state
1925 cheese factories, valued at 1868. :
531 and 749 creameries valued at 81,
500, 707. The greater number Of
these factories and creameries have
been created during the past ten
wears. When the fact that the pro-
longed drouth OF last summer made
the year very unfavorable one for
dairying and that it is estimated that
not more than two-thirds Of the
creameries and factories were re-
ported to the enumerators is consid-
cred, it will be readily seen that the
dairvindustry in Wisconsin is assum-
ing proportions which, il the ratio Of

WASHINGTON, Aug. 8.-Chairman
Jones was back at Democratic head
quarters during the day. He said con-
cerning his visit to Senator Hill that
there was no authority for statements
that Mr.. Hill had declared himself to
him (Jones) on the political situation.
On the contrary, Mr.. Jones says Gov
ernor Hill is a man who keeps his own
counsels, and like others in New York
is probably awaiting the action Of the
state convention in September. When
asked as to the remark attributed to
him that chill is all right" Mr.. Jones
said he had stated from time to time
that he had no doubt Gouernor Hill
would be all right, but there was no
reason for giving any significance to
this opinion, in connection with the
meeting in New York. &,

MILWAUKEE, Aug. 8.-Major Edward
Scofeld Of Oconto was nominated for
governor by the Republican state con-
vention after five ballots had been taken.
The present state officers were renomin-
ated by acclamation. The result is a
victory for the Philetus Sawyer faction
Of the party and corresponding defeat
for Ex-Governor Hoard and his fol-
lowers.
Two motions to adjourn, made in the
interest Of La Toilette, one before and
one after the fifth ballot, were defeated,
and the roll was being called for the
sixth ballot when H. G. Adams, who
made the speech nominating La Fol-
lette, moved to make the nomination of
Major Scofeld unanimous. He did
this because the vote of the First dis
trict on the sixth ballot made it appar-
ent that
Scofle!d Would Be Nominated.
Mr.. Hoard expressed his approval Of
the motion to make the nominations
unanimous, which was carried amid
tremendous enthusiasm.
A motion was adopted that the pres
ent state officers, other than governor,
be renominated as whole, and it was
done by acclamation. They are: Lieu
