the sturdy farmers boy from Great
Darlington, who had made no effort
to secure the coveted honor.
At any rate Marshall Newell stood
high in the estimation of the class OF
'94, ample evidence Of which is given
in the erection OF the memorial gate to
Soldiers Field, photograph Of which
has been reproduced for this article.
The gate was erected soon after the
big Yale-Haryard football game. Many
a graduate of Harvard undoubtedly
has been reminded of the sterling
qualities of the youth from the vest
ern end of the state by observing that
gate.
The gate Is the gift of the class of
'94, in whose memories recollections Of
Marshall Newell will long continue
undimmed. Newell was living proof
of the fact that personal qualities count
at Harvard. He came to the uni
versity from farm, though in the
interim between farm and college he
had prepared at Exeter academy. But
he was first OF all a farmers son. and
when he went home on vacations he
went to farm and worked on a farm.
Entering Exeter a puny little fellow
he went at physical training with that
force of purpose which was one of his
chief characteristics. When he came
to Harvard college he approached
physical perfection. In his freshman
year he became a member OF the
Varsity football eleven, and continued

NAMED for love TO give direction and
object to his energy and coherency to
his thoughts. The girl was belle OF
Boston. Her father was a man of
wealth and his only daughter had en-
joyed every advantage of education.
Ruth was beautiful and accomplished.
One summer spent in the society of
this girl proved the undoing of young
Blakesley. His ardent courtship re-
suited in her promise to be his wife
with conditions. He must make a man
of himself. He must study, work and
save money. Yes, she would wait for
him. Vows were exchanged and they
parted.
During the five years following they
saw little of each other. She was in
Boston, he was studying law. Then
he was admitted to the bar, passing
examination brilliantly, and began the
practice of his profession. Another
five years slipped by. The lawyer was
winning reputation. During this en-
tire period Jasper Blakesley held
steadfast in his mind the thought that
the girl who had so changed the cur
rents Of his life should be his greatest
reward for the years passed in daily
labor and nightly study. Her letters
to him were full of sympathy, encour-
agement and tenderness. And then

The third annbal Carnival will be
held in Milwaukee in June The dates
have been set-from the 26th to the 10Th
and the great work of preparation is
already under way. AS the second ex-
.ceeded the first, so will the third event
eclipse both the previous Carnivals. The
fame of the Carnival is more than local
it is not even confined to the limits of
the great Badger state, but has extended
to all parts of the country, Southern
people have been attracted by it and are
coming in larger numbers than ever be-
fore to spend their summers in Wiscon-
sin. They arrange to attend the Carni-
val festivities and then separate to the
countless resorts for which Wisconsin is
SO justly famous. There will be new and
novel features about the Carnival Of
1900 to distinguish it not alone from
others in Milwaukee but from all others
in the country. The reduced railroad
rates that will be in affect will make it
an excellent week in which to visit the
metropolis of the state.

pronounce it as he chooses; there's no

to know so much more about him than

sented his card.-Chicago Chronicle.

Secretary Gage made the statement that
the government had since July l, 1899,
received $53,O00,0O0 more in revenues
than had been expended, and that by
the end of June, 1900, the amount would
grow to the enormous proportion of $780,
100000 or more. The Secretary is of the
opinion the government should now re-
lieve the people of large percentage of
the war tax being collected for no other
purpose than to pile it away in the gov

They rode into battle at break Of the day,
With sashes and sabers and gonfalons gay.
The ella shing OF harness, the flashing OF

The beat of the drum and the trumpet's
loud peal,
Not heart nor an eye but was merry and
bright
And the peoples We're white.
AL crurapled and silken and snowy they
In tangle of grasses. starred over with
dew.
But the wheels Of the cannon above them
were rolled.
The hoofs of the horses struck deep in the
mold,
And trampled and tattered at fall of the
night
Were the peoples of white.
They lay in the meadow distiling their
sleep
TIL the soldiers were wrapped in slumber

That the call of the bugle would never un-
close
To visions of glory their lids of repose.
The mist drew a veil Ger the brows of the
And the poppies were red.
Both scabbards and sabers have crumbled
to dust,
And roses have bloomed from the bay

But unbleached by the sun, and uncleansed

On the blossoms that over the battlefield
spread.
For the peoples are red.

RAPIDLY DEVELOPING
NORTHERN WIS
CONSIN

The settler and manufacturer who
have located in the northern portion of
the Badger State, are developing and
improving that immense tract of rich
country very rapidly. Tillers of the soil
are coming in and new factories are go
ing up. There is reason for this. The
quality and quantity of iron ore, clay.
kaolin, mari and timber lands tell the
secret. Nature yields its richness TO
those who toll. Opportunities are still
plentiful, for much of the rich undevel-
oped land is awaiting the settler and
manufacturer 1t can be obtained on
easy terms and at low figures.
