THE PRETTY MILK-MAID.

The DEVELOPS were gray on the clover
The gray mists of night were with
drawn,
The blackbirds sang clear from the
cover
The hills wore the rose Of the dawn
But sweter than blackbirds anG
thrushes
Her song, whom the graces endow
And pinker than dawn her sof
bushes,
The pretty girl milking the cow.
She sang, and the milk, sweet ant
scented,
Spurted white as the breast of my
dear,
She sang, and the COW, grown con.
tented,
Gave over her kicking to hear.
o widest OF little black Kerries,
You will come at her call, know
how,
Since my heart at her voice leaps and
scurries,
The pretty girl milking her COW.
AS she sang I drew nearer each
minute.
A captive in loves rosy chain,
And my heart every second was in it
Grew fuller of Joy and of pain;
Till l cried out behind her: My
Storeen,
Pray guess who is holding you now.
And l felt The heart-beats of my
Noreen,
The pretty girl milking her COW.
kissed her sweet eyelids to blind
her,
/ kissed her gold head like the silk
The cow-who was going to bind her
With one kick kicked over the milk
And then, growing holder and holder
| kissed from the chin to the brow
She was mine ere the day was much
older,
The pretty girl milking her COW.

The Romance
of HiStOr,


"reminiscences of Early Days on
Mackinac Island by Elizabeth Therese
Baird is one Of the recent additions to
enrich the State Historical Collections.
The author was born at Prairie du
Chen, April "a, 1910, the daughter of
Henry Munro Fisher, a fur trader.
and Marienne Lasaliere, a French
woman with Indian blood in her veins.
Miss Fisher was married at Mackinac
when but IA years old, to Henry 8.
Baird, young Green Bay lawyer. He
died in 1876, Mrs. Baird in 1890.
The latter was woman of charming
personality and excellent education,
proud of her trace of Indian blood,
and had a wide acquaintance with the
principal men and women of early
Wisconsin. Having travelled and seen
much in pioneer days, and being gift
ed with a retentive memory, her recol-
lections are of great value and interest.
From such romantic ancestry are de-
scended Mrs. Louise Favill and her
family of Madison.

An interesting pamphlet from Reu-
ben G. Thwates, secretary and SUPER
intendent of the State Historical So
ciety, has appeared, giving the story
of the societys growth, opinions from
some leading men of letters concern
ing it, and giving a description of the
new library building. 1t is perhaps
not generally known that Wisconsin
had an historical society while it was
still in the territorial stage. AS a re-
suit of agitation begun in the columns
of the Mineral Point Democrat, In
October, 1S45,-three years before
Wisconsin was admitted to the union,
"a society was formed at Madison, the
capital, in October, 1916, by delegates
in attendance on the first constitu-
tional convention. Most of the prin-
cipal men of the territory were present
at the initial meeting of the associa-
ton, the purpose of which was Ito coll
lect from the pioneers then alive, such
facts in regard to the early history of
Wisconsin as they might possess, as
we'll as to treasure up those concern
ing the future" But while at this
meeting much enthusiasm was dis
played, the participants were i'm
mersed in their own affairs and no
one gave the matter further attention;
no records were kept, no money was
paid into the treasury, no work was
performed What was everybody's
business, was nobodys. Thus the
first organization of the society may
be considered as having died when the
gavel sounded for adjournment On
Jan. 80, 1919, nineteen days after the
opening of the first session of the state
legislature in Madison, $50 persons,
chiefly members of the legislature,
held a meeting at the American House
and formed a new State Historical So
ciety. Governor Nelson Dewey was
chosen president of the society as
compliment to his official station, and
Increase A. Lapham, secretary. Little
was done, however, in the way of
historical research until Lyman G.
Draper became secretary in 1852. For
a time the library of the society was
kept in room in a basement of the
local Baptist church. From such
small beginnings has grown the pres
ent magnificent library, splendid
monument OF the thirty-four years
services of Mr. Draper and those who
have succeeded him.

DR.. J. D. Butler of Madison has
contributed to the State Historical Col
lections a sketch OF the life OF Father
Samuel Mazzuchelh, the Italian Do
mtnican missionary, famed In The
Catholic history of Wisconsin and the
founder in iS47 of Saint Clara academy
at Sinsiniwa Mound, Grant county.
Mazzuchelli was born in Milan. Nov.
4 1907 Of an old family and finely
educated. He early determined TO de-
vote his life to missionary work
among the Indians. In 1880 he came
to Mackinac, Michigan and for "a
years, or until his death at Benton,
Grant county, in 1864, he labored as
siduously for his church. Green Bay.
Prairie du Chen, Galena, and St.
Louis are among the places cherishtng
traditions of this pioneer missionary.
Mazzucheli wrote a book in Italian
giving his experience here which is
valuable because of light cast on early
Wisconsin history.
The awakening in historical re-
search induced by the semi-centennial
activity has already shown itself in
many lines in the forms o. publication.
One of these is a pamphlet compiled
and published under the direction Of
Secretary of State Henry Casson be-
ing the Constitution Of the State OF
Wisconsin With a Brief History Of
the Admission of Wisconin to the
unQu The history Of the admission
is contributed by Reuben Gold
Thwaites, secretary AMI superinten-
dent of the State Historical society.
Nj. Thwaites contributes many in
teresting facts and figures relating TO
the states admission and gives a list
OF the delegates to the two constitu-
tiona conventions

Charleston, S. C.. July 12.-rhe
steamship Rita, captured recently of
Cuba by the Yale and purchased Sat
urday by the United States govern
ment for $125,O00, sailed for Santiago
Sunday afternoon with $50 men Of the
Sixth Illinois regiment and their bag
gage. One battalion Of the regiment
sailed with the expedition under Gen
eral Garretson on the Columbia. II
was found that the Rita could not
carry the remaining 800 men, as Com
panies D and NJ were left here. This
divides the regiment badly.
The embarlSation at $3.50 o'clock
was an inspiring sight. The men Of
the Sixteenth Pennsylvania and Sec
ond and Third Wisconsin regiments
were drawn up on neighboring pier
heads, their regimental bands play
ing patriotic airs which were respon-
ded to by the band Of the Illinois
regiment on the steamer. II had been
raining hard oil day, but just as the
Rita drew out into the stream a per-
feet rainbow appeared, spanning the
entrance to the harbor like trum-
phal arch under which the ship was
sailing. The watching soldiers caught
the significance OF the incident, and a
cheer swept along the waterfront
that could be heard all over the city.

In the destruction OF Admiral CeveSh's

of the engagement to Rear Admiral

"The Spanish feet turned TO the
westward and opened fire, 10 which
our ships replied vigorously. For .
short time there was an almost cond
tinual flight OF projectiles over the
ship, but when our line was fairly
engaged the enemy's IRE became do
fective. AS soon as II was evident
that the enemy's ships were trying 10

owe soon passed all OF our vessels
except the Brooklyn. At first we used
only the main battery, but when II
was discovered that the enemy's tor
pedo boats were following the ships
we used our rapid fire guns as well
as the six-inch guns upon them with
telling effect.
"As we ranged up near the stern
most Of their ships she headed for
the beach, evidently on fire. We raked
her as we passed, rushing on for tho
next ahead, using our starboard guns
as they were brought to bear; and
Pbefore we had her Iairly abeam she,
too, was making for the beach. The
two remaining vessels were now some
distance ahead, but our speed had in-
creased to sixteen knots and the Viz
caya was soon sent to the shore In
flames.
"0nly the Crstobol Colon was left,
and for a time 1t seemed as II she
might escape, But when we opened
with our forward turret guns and the
Brooklyn followed, the Colon began
10 edge toward the coast and her de-
struction was assured. As she struck
the beach her flag went down.
"The Brooklyn sent boat to her,

Of the bearing and conduct Of all on

Oregon had rushed to the front and
was hurrying to a succession OF con-

Spanish vessels were so much more
heavily armored than the Brooklyn,
they might have concentrated upon
and overpowered her.

haps the Vizcaya, would have es'
