They tell funny story on profess
sor of mathematics in Copenhagen,
who does his own marketing. One
morning he went to the fish market,
and stopping at the stand of one of the
fish wives, examined her stack. Find
ing that the fish were not fresh, he de
clared that he would not buy as they
were spelling.
Those were fghting-words with the
fish madam, and she proceeded to fire
some of her most choice vituperation
at him. The professor was stumped
for a minute, but his learning came to
his rescue. This is the way he con-
quered:
ooh you hypothenuse, you isosceles
triangle, you trapezoid, you diagonalIy
divided paralellogram, you sine, you
rhomboid, you hyperbola," and so on.

a POPULAR MISTAKE,
RMe Idea That Professional Men
Have an Easy Time.

"People who work with their hands,
especially farmers, are apt to think
that professional men have an easy
time of it," said lawyer of this city.
''Its an amusing mistake. The farmer
stops at shutdown, and the laborer
works ten hours at the outside. The
average professional man works from
y to IA hours day in and day out, all
the year around. Often, at pinch, he
will work from 16 to 20 hours for sew
eral days in succession, and he will
work when he is sick or suffering Sc
we're physical pain, something the man
ual toiler wouldn't dream Of Of course
he takes short intervals Of rest, like
everybody else. The human engine
isn't capable Of absolutely sustained
endeavOr for over an hour at q stretch.
"Watch day labOrer, who seems to
be plodding along like a machine, and
you'll find that he really rests more
than half the time. He looks at some
we'll dressed doctor, lawyer, broker or
man Of affairs and says to himself:
ooh, you doggoned lazy rascal! If you
only had to work like me! The truth
is that the chap he envies is putting an
amount Of concentration and continued
energy into his daily toll that would
kill the man who works with his hands
alone in less than a week.
II don't mean this as any reflection
on the laborer, who is also no doubt
doing his level best. / simply mean
that the demands on brain production
are a third again as severe as the de-
mands on muscle production. For
sheer staying qualities there is nothing
in the world that equals the nervous
high strung, frail looking modern pro-
fessional man."-New Orleans Times

Happenings in the State During the Past
Few Days Culled from the Reports.
Lacrosse, Wis, Aug. ia minia-
ture tornado swept along the Missis-
sippi river early yesterday morning,
doing great damage in Vernon county.
It's greatest fury seemed to have been
expended in and about the village Of
Stoddard, twelve miles south of this
city, on the Burlington road, where the
wind and hail was accompanied by a
cloudburst. The greatest damage was
to farm property, in many instances
whole stacks of grain and hay being
literally swept away. Large oak trees
three feet in diameter were uproOted
or broken, and small outbuildings
swept away. Many horses and cattle,
hogs and sheep, were drowned, but no
loss OF human life is yet reported. Max
Worzinski's brick residence was I'M
rooted, Paul Huefner's grain elevator
wrecked, Beige and Halvorson's wagon
factory demolished and Mrs. Wodzyn-
skis large barn swept from it's founda-
ton up against the house and both
wrecked. Paul Huefner was taken
from the ruins Of his elevator badly
hurt. Much damage is reported in the
vicinity Of Coon Valley and Cashton.
The loss to crops is heavy.

JESS AND THE BEAR.
Bruin Saved the Man, but Lost His
Life Ia the Bargain.

Life In the Bargain.
There is Il story connected with the
last bear killed about here which fond
grandpapas often told the children
seated on their knees. 1t appears that
the celebrated "Uncle Jess" had spent
all his life as a trapper and hunter, and
never a mishap had befallen him. But
one night, in his anxiety to shake a
coon, he climbed the shell Of an old
tree.
AS he began shaking the neighbour
ing limb the stump to which he was
clinging gave way, and he sank feet
first into the hollow center. All efforts
to escape were impossible, and the
pious hunter had resolved to pass the
remainder of his life in prayer, when
toward night his supplications were in
terrupted. Looking up, he beheld the
eye of q bear looking straight down
at him.
Then the animal turned about and
backed down the inside Of the stump.
Hardly knowing what to do, Uncle
Jess put up his hands in protection and
grasped the bear. Now it was the
bears turn to be frightened. He
scrambled up again, while the hunter
hung on for his life and was carried
with safety to the top.
Here the bears real trouble began.
for with SO heavy weight it was i'm
possible for him to turn about and
back down, so he tried it head first,
but that was no easy matter to the
beast, and he fell with q heavy thud
to the ground below and was killed,
while Uncle Jess went home and told
the truthful tale to be handed down
to his children.-Springfield Republic
