view and to aid the memory by atfofling
a conven' ent nucleus for later acquisitions
of knowledge The book in point of style
is wen adapted for this purpose, being
told simply and clearly, yet in a most fas-
cinaiing manner. The author has been
very happy in his choice of ma terial aud
has selected only that matter which is in
perfect harmony with connected narra-
tive. Everything else has been eliminat-
ed in order hat it may not become mere
~ a collection OF dates and names. While
the fed has been made as wide as posi-

to restrict his scope rather than TO give
a mere catalogue of events Throughout

GIRL BEATS HER
WAY TO CHICAGO.
A Young and Pretty Woman Rides
"Blind Baggage from
Eau Claire.

Chicago, Ill, Dec. ia girl Of Is
years, pretty, witty and modestly at
tired in wooden dress caused a sensa-
ton at the North Western depot yester-
day morning by stepping from a blind
baggage" platform of the st. Paul train
and greeting astonished officials with a
CHEEKY ''Howdy do?''
The girl had ridden from Eau Claire,
Wis, on the front end of the first car in
the train. Gold? Well, yes, a little"
she said in answer to d dozen queries,
but | had to come. | had no money
and knew | would be put off if | entered
a car, so | just staid outside and here
l am"
The girl boarded the train in the night
and chung to the rafting platform until
Madison was reached. Here she was
discovered by one of the brakemen, who
ordered her off and accompanied her back
to the conductor to explain her action.
To the latter she said she could not pay
her way and was anxious to reach this
city, where she had relatives. The train
men escorted her from the train and then
quickly pulled out of the station without
the girl presumably. She proved too
clever for them, however, and when the
train pulled into the Wells street depot
she was with it. She refused to give
her name, and, bidding a curious throng
''By-by," started out to find her friends.

A CHANGE IS DEMANDED.
Effort to Rearrange State in Re-
gard to Federal Districts.
A COURT AT SUPERIOR.
Divide Wisconsin Into Northern and
Southern Districts and Remove
Court from Madison.

West Superior, Wis, Dec. 14.-[Spe-
cial. lit is now proposed by prominent
members Of the Douglas county bar that
an effort be made to have the state of
Wisconsin redistricted with regard to the
terms of federal court. 1t is claimed
that the interests of the patrons of both
the Eastern and Western district courts
could be better satisfied if the state were
divided into Northern and Southern dis
tricts instead of Eastern and Western.
At present it is claimed by attorneys
here, 80 per cent of the business enter
ing the federal court at Madison orig
mates here, and attorneys attending that
court are compelled to travel 300 miles
to attend court. The bill has been pre-
pared and forwarded to Washington,
providing for a term of federal court IN
this city, but some of the members Of
the bar are in favor of taking a bigger
bite while they are at it. 1t is suggest
ed that should Judge Bum Of the federal
court retire soon, it would be in line to
have Northern man appointed to take
his place, and if that were secured it is
figured that it would not be Il hard mat
ter to get the seat of the federal court re-
moved from Madison to some city in this
locality-notably Superior.
