The Ladies' Home Journal. Going
quietly into New York, he opened an
Office for the practice Of law and In a
fortnight had earned 5000 In fees.
But hardly hid he written TO his
daughter about his luck when there
came from South Carolina the news
that her beautiful boy. who had been
the idol OF the ambitious statesman,
was dead.
But there was In reserve for Burr a
still heavier blow. Toward the close
of the year 1912 Theodosia Allston
made preparations TO visit her father
In New York. Passage was engaged
on the schooner the Patriot for Theo-
dosia. her physician and her maid. and
the lovely woman was radiant with the
expectation Of meeting her father with
in the next five or six days. The Pa
triot sailed from Charleston out into
the ocean in Christmas week, and not
a yestige of her was ever again seen,
and II is surmised - but nothing Is
known as to her fate-that she foun-
dered off the coast OF Hatteras.
DAY after day and long after all
hope had been abandoned there might

Aaron Burr gave the world but little
view. He had schooled himself In the
habit of never exhibiting his emotions,
but in one of his letters he declared
that he felt as II he had been severed
from the human race

land announces the winter term of bis
famous business training schools
schools that bsve revolutionized bust
ness college methods in the northwest
and made diploma issued by any of
them a guarantee that its holder is
competent TO fill the most exacting posi-
ton. Ever since Mr. Toland began
advertising in this county he has secur-
ed all of the best class of our young peo-
pie who desired business education,
and has shown his appreciation of the
patronage given him by sending the ma
jor ty of his graduates to good p' ing
positions; in fact we know of mol rom
this county whom he AS not assisted.
In addition to his Business Universities
at La Crosse, Eau Claire, Wausau,
Monroe and Winona, he has recently
opened another school at Fairmont,
Minnesota, which bids fair TO surpass
any of his branch schools To those
desiring an education that will fit them
for the best paying positions, the CEN

what's Doing In Tobacco.

There is still considerable stir in the
tobacco business in this ssection, ard buy
ers are busy riding the growing districts
picking up the scattering crops still un-
sold. The Edgerton Tobacco Reporter
says of the general conditions elsewhere
in the state:
Owing to the many dangers which may
result from the careless handling of the
new tobacco crop in removing from the
sheds in improper condition. it Is quite
likely that the buyers will unite in cir
cular of instructions which will be sent
to all growers with whom they have con-
tracts. Buyers seem especially fearful
least the tobacco be taken down in too
high case. 1t is highly probable that
they may have something to say about
shed burn, rust, etc. After having
agreed to pay good prices for the crop it
is but natural they will expect that it
be delivered TO them in proper condition.
At any rate the buyers think that as a
matter of education such circular
would be valuable, A growing inquiry
after old leaf is developing and not only
is tbs country hunted FOR the remnants
in FIRST hands bat packers are receiving
many requests foE samples. Warm.
pleasant weather has prevailed during
the week that hslps greatly the curing
of the late shielded tobacco which now
bids fair to be beyond all danger of fat
