PUT YOURSELF IN HER PLACE.

1t was a mean trick, of course, and
some day sac will doubtless requite
him.
She saw him take a piece of paper
from his pocket, carefully fold it up,
put it in an envelope, and then place
the envelope in one Of the far corners
of the drawer of his writing-table.
Whats that?" she asked.
"Oh, nothing of any Importance"
he replied.
Now, if he had simply thrown it
carelessly into the drawer she would
have thought nothing of it; but the
care he took to put it clear over in the
far corner, and the fact that he seemed
i'll at ease after he found that his ac-
ton had been observed, aroused her
curiosity She wondered what it was,
and she reasoned with herself that he
had said it was nothing of import
ance," so he would have nobody but
himself to blame if she took look at
it, She was justified in inferring from
his words that there was no reason
why she should not. And this is what
she read, scrubbed on piece of paper.
I'll bet you a new hat your curiosity
will not permit you to let this alone
1t was a terrible predicament in
which to place woman. How could
she claim the new spring hat without
betraying herself?-London Answers.

FROST AND GARGOYLES.

BulWer-LyttOn committed many
crimes against taste in the decoration
CT his mansion at KnebWOrth. It is a
beautiful house, but the novelist did
MS best to spoil it by false stucco Or
naments externally, in the way of gar
goyles and quasi-gothic pinnacles.
Time and weather did not treat these
ornaments with much respect, each
frost bringing down in the life of his
son C"Owen Meredith') some pinnacle
which the father had deemed perma-
nent. The poet was walking on the
lawn one morning after sharp
nights frost, when the gardener came
to tell him of the fall of another gar
goyle with these words: IF you please,
~ lord, there is another of them
monkeys fallen down in the night. -

DROUGHT AND RAINS.
Various Section of the State Are Diff
ferentIy Affected.

According to the Wisconsin weather
bureau report the average temperature
for the week ending June ranging
from 70 degrees, along the southern
border OF the state, to 81 degrees, over
the counties bordering on Lake Su.
periOr. In the southern portion the
temperature was about degrees high
er than that of last week. while in the
northern portion there was little
change. The nights were generally
quite cool, especially toward the end
Of the week but no frost is reported.
The drought continues in the western
and northwestern counties, and is be.
coming serious in the central portion of
the state. Rain is also badly needed in
many localities in the southeastern
counties. COpious rains occurred Ove~
the northeastern counties, the total
for the week ranging from one to two
inches. Liberal rains also occurred
along the southwestern border, includ-
ing Grant, Lafayette, Green, Iowa and
portions of Dane and Sank counties
Early paintings of corn have come up
nicely and made good growth during
the week, while the later paintings
have been very slow in terminating,
on account of the dry weather In
those sections where the drought is
serious much replanting will BE neces-
Sary. In some localities in the south
western counties, where there has been
sufficient moisture, corn is reported in
excellent condition. The dry weather
during the week has caused these CROPS
to advance rapidly toward maturity.
The straw is extremely short but the
heads are generally reported Of fair
size and filling fairly we'll Oats and
barley have made good progress where
there has been sufficient moisture, but
in the western and northwestern sec
tons have been seriously damaged by
the drought. Reports from nearly ali
portions indicate that the hay crop will
be very light and in some localities al
most total failure. Pastures are very
short and badly in need of rain. To
bacco replanting is progressing rapidly.
The weather has been too dry for a
rapid growth, but the plants are gener-
ally in good condition. The continued
dry weather has been unfavorable for
small fruits. Strawberries are report
ed small and drying up. Apples and
plums give excellent promise
The month just past was a remark
| able one in two ways. 1t was unusual
ly warm, and was also the dryest May
for a good many years. The mean
temperature as recorded at Washburn
observatory was 6O.6, several degrees
higher than the usual temperature for
May. The total precipitation for the
month was 1856 inches. which is con-
siderably below the usual May mark.
There were 6 clear days, II partly
cloudy and IA cloudy Following is
the record Of temperatures as taken at
the observatory:

London, June 10.-The situation in
China appears distinctly graver. The
destruction Of the Russian chapel at
rung Tingan has provided Russia with
the desired pTetext TO land more troops
A dispatch from st. Petersburg yester-
day says that the government is re-
| solved, if the dangerous situation in
China continues, TO take immediate
military action to repress the anti-for-
| eign movement. This may be
regarded as q semi-official
utterance, meaning that if
| there is any hesitancy on the part of
| the powers, Russia will act alone. All
reports agree that the boxer movement
is spreading. Report is confirmed that
the French agents at Mong Use and
Yum Nan Flu have been compelled to re
tire, and this shows the fer
ment mas reached southwestern
China, and provoked France
into taking active steps. Sir Claude
Macdonald, British minister at Pekin,
has wired the British consul at Shang-
hal, confirming the reported outrages
and the fact that the throne and gov
eminent have been actuated by SYM
pathy with the boxers movement,
which the government has ample pow
er to suppress if it so desired.
The latest Tien Tsin dispatches say
ing the dowager empress has appoint
ed anti-foreign generals with a pre-
tended mission to suppress the boxers
makes it impossible to doubt the time
has arrived for energetic action. 1t is
expected the British government will
utilize the Chinese regiment which
has been in training at Wei Hal Wei,
as it would be dangerous to remove
the garrison from Hong Kong at the
present moment
A special dispatch from Shang-
hal dated June 9th says:
"Tsung Ii Yamen has protested to the
ministers against the presence of such
a large number of foreign forces, as
sorting it cannot be only for the pro-
lection Of the legations, but for the
eStablishme nt Of a garrison in the cap
ital of an Independent and friendly
state. The answer which the foreign
ministers returned to this protest is
unknown. The American mission at
Pei Tang Chow was destroyed yester-
day, but the missionaries fed to a
place of safety. 1t is reported Viceroy
Chi Ii has resigned. 1t is proposed to
bring Ii Hung Chang back from the
south, but Prince Kang vi proposes to
give the post to the Infamous Li-Ping-
Heng the former governor of Shan
Tung. Pao-Ting-Fu is burning, and
the Iien Tsin railway has finally
ceased to be operated All the English
missionaries are encamped inside the
legation"

ditiOns to his ranks especially in this
county. The uninstructed state dele
gates are watching the local fight and
say they will announce their position
today. The Winnebago and Fond du
Lac men went into caucus, but left the
delegate-at-large question until today.
The former are for Hilton and the lat
ter for Fleming. Neither Ryan nor
Wall will give any figures. Ryan says
he is confident Of a good majority.
Wall says he is in the hands of friends.
When he saw the change in home SEN
timent he said he thought the dele
gates ought to stick to him because he
is a good democrat. One politician
close to the situation said he was at
sea, the delegates appearing to be
waiting to see what moves the others
make. Any number of caucuses are
scheduled for this morning. The indi-
cations are that Rose and Fleming Of
Wauwatosa are making a close run.
Each has large following, each with
considerable stability. D. L. Plum
uler of Wausau, George B. Hilton of
Oshkosh and Louis G. Boemrich OF
Kenosha appear to have things their
way. Hilton will. not commit himself
in spite of urgent demands.

FOR PROTECTORATE.
CHINESE EMPEROR WOULD CALL
IN FOREIGN NATIONS.
HE A PRISONER NOW
Sends a Message to People Of Western
Part of Empire-Many Reforms in
Government Suggested by Him
But He Warns Powers Against
Thoughts of Dismemberment.

London, June 12.-The Shanghai
correspondent of the Daily Express
says: "Weng Tung Ho. emperor
| kwong Hsu's tutor and confdant, wlC
was dismissed by the dowager en-
/ press after the coup detat in 1898
sends with the special sanction OF the
| emperor a message to the people OF
| the west in part 1t is as follows:
His majesty is convinced that the
loyal support Of many scores Of mil
lions OF Chinese will be accorded to
his proposals for putting an end to
the state Of anarchy brought about by
the action of the empress Hsi Isl. The
government of China is being virtually
nOn-eXistent. The emperor proposes
that the foreign powers whose troops
dominate the capitol shall remove his
imperial person from the palace in
which his majesty is confined a pris-
oner; shall declare the empress Hsi
Isl and her present ministers usurp-
ers, and shall bring the emperor
Kwang Hsu to Marking, WI Chang, or
Shanghai, whichever the foreign pow
ers deem to De most suitable for a new
capital of the Chinese empire under
the new conditions. 1t is proposed by
MS majesty and his advisors that the
foreign powers shall declare a joint
protectorate, and undertake the task Of
ma eSty.'
The message suggests that the pro-
tectorate should abolish certain boards
in Pekin, appoint new ministers, abOl
ism the existing so-calIed armies, estah
lish a gendarmerie under foreign Off
GERS, take control Of the customs, posts,
telegraphs and work them through
Chinese officials, establish a uniform
currency, readjust taxation and insure
freedom Of religion. Wen Tung Ho
who predicts a peaceful acceptance OF
such regime goes on to say: China is
ripe for the change which reactiOnaries
vainly seek to stem. If it should SO
be, on the other hand, that the foreign
powers seriously contemplate the dis
membership Of Chinese empire they
have before them a huge task,
Of facing the dense millions,
who, although lacking in train
ing and who make but con
temptible soldiers, possess bOundless
powers of passive resistance, and
would be able to wear out the patience
Of any European rulers seeking to
govern them without regard to the
prejudices of the oldest civilization
The conquest and division of China
would be possible with 100000 troops,
but to retain government would re-
quire a million soldiers and centuries
of work. The task would end with the
most unhappy results for both con-
quer6d and cOnquerors.
His majesty and mis- advisers beg
American and Japan to pause before
resOrting to dismemberment, which
can be deferred at least until the en-
perOr's efforts to govern his people and
restore the happiness of this great
division of the human race have
proved abOrtive. If the people are as
sured the powers guiding and protect
ing his majesty do not intend to swal-
low the country piecemeal they will
return unquestionably to the allegiance
from which the empress diverted
them
