His First Serious Attack.
Mr.. sherman had not been in his ro-
bust health for considerably owe a
year, In March. 1899, while on a pleas
ur" trip to the French and Spanish
West Indies, in company with a rela-
tive, Mr.. Frank Wiborg. he suffered a
severe attack of pneumonia which al
most proved fatal. The ship on which
they were travelling touched at Santi-
ago. from which place reports came to
the United States that the well known
statesman had succumbed to the dis
ease. He rallied, however. and the
family accepted the offer of the United
States government to bring him back
tO the United States on the cruiser
Chicago. then in the vicinity of San.
.tiago. and he was safely landed at Fort
Monroe and brought to his home in
this city. Here he gained strength
and was strong enough by summer
time to visit his home in Ohio. He
spent last winter at his home in this
city, enjoying fairly good health. even
going out to social affairs and attend
ing the theaters with members of his
family. The family left here early in
the summer for the old homestead at

Wife's Death a Severe Blow.

They were there but a short time
when Mrs. Sherman, whose health had
been very frail, died. This was a Sc
we're blow to the secretary, from which
he evc fully recovered.
Among his former associates in the
senate his demise will be sorely felt
without reference to party. In this
field of activity his services had been
particularly able and successful. He
had served so long that experience
added to his natural talents. He vas
a recognized leader on all of the great
he had at his fingers end all the array
al of facts. figures, etc, to give Com-
plete calculation to a subject. He was
regarded as a guide, rather than a
party leader, for his conservatism. a
ton innate good Judgment and power
of effective execution inspired conf
dcnce in any line of action which he
advised. This was particularly true
in later years, when he held a leading
place in the senate, on the questions
of finance and foreign affairs. Amid
the most heated arguments and the
widest differences, the entrance of the
venerable Ohio senator into the debate
was the signal for a period of calm
and dispassionate consideration of the
serious arguments of the case. His ap-
pearance in a debate was often like the
sudden entrance of the school master
in a roomful of unruly pupils.
A Giant In Debate.
Mr.. Sherman was not regarded as a
great orator. His forte was more in
the cool analysis Of a proposition, ap-
pealing to the judgment rather than to
the emotions, and carrying conviction.
He presented the simple facts. with
out any attempt at ornate diction. AS
a debater he had few equals.
The personal appearance of Mr..
force he exerted. He is well remem.
bered as he appeared on the floor of
the senate during the financial debate
preceding the presidential election of
1896. His tall, spare figure was bent
slightly forward over his desk, as, with
his index finger extended, he laid
down the financial principles Of which
he had been SO close a student. Dur.

Ne0-rtment"
The Yale expositor. (Yale, St. Clair County, Mich.) 1894-current, 1900-01-26

Don't waste these two days and not
learn enough from them to know how
to feed COW. From what was said
there, it appears there are thousands
of farmers who have not yet learned
how. Likewise there are many more
thousands who have not yet learned to
raise garden sass-think it don't pay to
have a garden.
The institute was exceptional in tina t
few but practical farmers led or joined
in the discussions. 1t was not a con-
vention where farmers sat quietly to
listen to professional men turn round
ed sentences or giving pleasing pero-
vations. The speakers hit right and
from the shoulder, and they struck
hard blows. They aimed to give facts,
not fancies; and these facts were such
as had been tested III their own ex-
perience.
Aside from the good speaking, the
new ideas impaired and old ones inn
proved, there is an aspect in which at
tendance at the institute paid. There
was the social pleasure of meeting and
greeting old friends and making new
ones. The farmer is isolated by dis
lance, is tied fast by his very occupa-
ton and cannot see his fellows face to
face like the jewellers in towns and
cities. The farmer needs the social
contact afforded by these convocations.
We know of no class of meniwho more
thoroughly enjoy the privilege.

This meeting of farmers from wide
region of country will become tester

of many will be tried, and some of

to be as noxious as Canada thistles and
must be destroyed.

The institute was o success, and
thereby hangs tale. This success
means hard work by the local COM
mittee, especially its chairman. If any
body is so extremely ancient as to
think it easy to arrange and map
out program such as was given. let
them try it just once and be convinced
of error.
The fact that the farmer feeds the
world was brought out very forcibly
at several times; but one speaker made
new application of the old saying.
The farmer, by his lack of thought
and combination of action with his fell
lows, may feed the evil as we'll as the
good. The farmer may feed the men
who make bad laws and Cypress socie.
ty, and menace good government.

The institute exemplified two very
interesting things to all farmers-seed.
time and harvest. The seedtime was
the people ripe and ready to receive
new ideas of both theory and methods;
the harvest was exemplitied in the
sewers of these ideas. They would
not have had these seeds to SOW had
not the fruit of their own thought and
experience in actual toll Yielded them
this power to stir other minds.

The conyocation will be tester of
soils in the farmers themselves. In
how many brains will these good and
wise teachings take root and grow? If
some genius will only give us a method
of enriching mems brains; some plan of
some powerful COM
post, that will let light and heat into
the brains of men and give them
power of thought, he will have solved
the problem of how to make the farm

NO. II.

a new class has been organized in
the high school-a class in the homely
old-fashioned art of spelling. 1t meets
every day in the week from $40 to s:45
in recitation room, No. 3. Fourteen
members are enrolled at present; some
are freshmen; some sophomores, and
some juniors.
Thursday afternoon the freshmen
held class meeting in the main room:
the sophomores, in No. >, aud the
juniors, in No. 3 They all met for the
same purpose, to select their contes-
tsnts for the deelamatory contest.
The juniors have three representatives;
the sophomores two, and the freshmen
three.
An examination of the last monthly
report of the Wauwatosa schools dis
closes the fact that out of an enroll
ment of over coo there were but eleven
cases Of hardness, This is the lowest
number with a single exception during
the past two years; for the month end
ing june $. 1900. there were but nine.
The first formal monthly report on file,
dated Oct. :, 1898, shows sixty-four
cases, one room alone having twenty
two. That the decrease in the num-
Der of tardinesses has not been accom-
panied by decrease in the attendance
is shown by the fact that the month
just closed has the highest per cent of
attendance for the entire period Gov
cred by the reports 96.05 per cent.

An Abrupt PrOposal,

The reported fashion of the famous Dr. Abernethy's courtship and mar- riage is very characteristic. It is told that while attending a lady for several weeks he observed these admirable qualifications in her daughter which he truly esteemed to render the married state happy. Accordingly on Satur- day. taking leave of his patient. he ad- dressed her to the following purport:
 You are now so well that l need not see you after Monday next. when shall come and pay you farewell wis it. But in the meantime l wish you and your daughter to seriously consid- CT the proposal l am about to make. 1t is abrupt and unceremonious. l am aware, but the excessive occupation of my time by my professional duties af- lords me no leisure to accomplish what l desire by the more ordinary course of attention and solicitation My annual receipts amount to f-, and l can set tie r. on my wife. My character is generally known to the public. so that you may readily ascertain what it is. have seen in your daughter tender and affectionate child. an assiduous and careful nurse and gentle and laIylike member of family Such a person must be all that a husband could covet and l offer my hand and fortune for her acceptance. On Mon- day when l call shall expect your de termination. for l really have not time for the routine of courtship."
 In this manner the lady was wooed and won. and it may be added the union was felicitous in every respect.

A Story of Whistler,

The Boston Transcript says: "A di- verting anecdote is told of the boyhOod of Mir. Whistler. the greatest modern impressionist. He was apprenticed to some engineers who were etching elab- crate maps on copper. One day his employer asked him if he also could etch maps on copper. oh. yes. can etch, promptly answered young Whis- tier.
 "As a matter of fact he had never used an etching needle in his life. However. they gave him the copper. and he set to work. making very fine and beautiful map. But round the edges of the plate. which when bitten in with acid are always stopped out. he etched some characteristic little sketch es ot the different members of the firm including very humorous one of the chief himself
 Shortly after he happened to go away for week or two for his hOli day Meantime the plate had been bitten in and printed with all of the dreadful little caricatures that he had forgotten to stop out appearing in star tling prominence. the sketch of the chief being especially remarkable be- cause of it's great resemblance to that gentleman. who was so enraged at the indignity of the thing that immediately on Whistler's return he dismissed him."

Redn and sIeepinR.

A German doctor has been investl- gating the question of beds, and the re- suit of his labors has been lately given to the world in the pages of German journal In the first place. to convince mankind of the importance of his sub- feet, the doctor reminds all mankind that we spend from one-fourth to one third of our lives in bed, after which he proceeds to advise the world on the healthiest kind of couch and the most sensible manner of reposing thereon.
 A hard bed appears to be the best, and it is laid down that children from the earliest years should be trained to sleep on these hard beds. Soft beds are too warm and do not admit sufti- cient air. Even in the case of the hard bed the sleeper is warned to see that his covering. whether woolen or cotton, is not so heavy that the body is kept overwarm and fresh air is excluded. This ventilation, according to our au- thority, is all important. But what
 will middle aged people say when the
 man of science bids them dispense with their pillows? Pillows, he de- clares, are evils, and it is right that we should sleep with limbs uncramped on perfectly horizontal plane. Knowing the weakness of human flesh, however. the doctor declares that if pillows are retained they should be neither too soft | nor too thick.
 A point on which most people will agree with this authority is the neces- sity for constant (the doctor asks for dailyl airing and summing of the bed
