.As Mad ma Hntter.v

Probably very few persons who fire.
Quently use the expression "As mad as
a halter" have any idea as to what il
means or why halter is necessarily
any more subject to fits Of anger than
a plumber, a blacksmith or a carpen
ter The expression is said to have
come into use half century ago, when
the manufacture of hats was done
wholly by hand. The most striking
thing about the process was that of the
beating up of the felt. The halter first
dipped the mass of wool and hair fire.
quently into hot water; then, Selling 8
stick in each hand, he belabored the
mass most vigorously, stopping now
and then to get his breath, until the
material was matted together in q
rough sort of felt. The lively beating
administered to the felt, as If the work
man were actually incensed, gave rise
to the familiar smile.

Beecher,s Praise of the queen.

Forty-one years ago Henry Ward
Beecher said at Cooper institute, New
York:
"Every reason urged against larger
liberty for women Is illustriously con-
futed by the dignity, purity and wom-
anly propriety with which Victoria
stands before her empire and before
the world. For ages woman has been
advanced to honor, influence, office and
the highest public trusts if she will ac-
cept them in aristocratic forms. She
may be an abbess, a countess, a queen.
1t is only woman without a title that
must have no privileges. With crown
on her brow she may enter parliaments
and govern empires; with only her own
simple personal virtues she may not
lift up her hand to cast vote Now,
as Christian democrat, | assert for
her every right and every privilege
that aristocracy accords her. That
which is good enough for queen is
not too good for my wife; that which is
noble in a duchess is honorable in my
daughter"

Frances first woman lawyer. Rome
has the distinction of possessing the
first woman lawyer in italy in the per-
son of Signorina Teresa Labriola. She
has just passed her examinations with
honor and is now full fiedged lawyer,
but has not inscribed herself among

champion the new woman, but to de-
vote herself to the philosophy of law.

Starkey, pastor of Trinity Episcopal mis-
sion in Arlington, n. j., and chaplain OF

Ter had just left the house of j. S. Saads
where he ate his meals, when Barker,
who was in front of the door. opened fire.

on his way to the Church of the Good
Shepherd at Fort Lee to attend the dedi-
cation when he was shot.

around.

|NDORSE THE GR|)UI BILL
PROPERTY OF LABORING CLASSES
TO BE EXEMPTED FROM
TAXATION

MADISON, Wis, Jan. 31.-(SpeciaI.)-
The senate today by a unanimous vote
passed memorial to congress to urge
the passage of the Grout bill.
In the assembly Eager introduced two
saloon bills;one abolishing the free lunch,
another prohibiting the sale of liquor
where merchandise is sold or in a room
connected. The bill requiring BARRIERS
to be licensed was introduced
In the senate Devoe, of Milwaukee,
introduced bill giving street railways
the same rights possessed by the rail-
way companies to condemn lands in
acquiring right of way.
Among the bills presented in the as
sembly last night was one requiring that
superintendent of city and village
schools must at least have the cduca-
tional qualifications which are demanded
by the statutes for county superin-
tenGents.
Assemblyman Manuel, of Winnebago
county, has presented a bill which pro-
vides that in addition to the personal
property now exempted from taxation,
wearing apparel. family portraits, house
hold goods and private libraries not ex-
ceeding $500 in value shall also be ex-
empt. Growing crops are exempted as
are also two working horses or mules,
two cows. one wagon, one sleigh, one
pillow, one Seeder, one binder, one mower
and also the tools of working men not
to exceed in value 500. Mr. Manuel saws
that his reason for requesting these ex-
emptions is that it is a notorious fact
the personal property of the rich IS not
taxed, and he thinks that for this reason
some exceptions should be given the
poor, whose property cannot be hidden,
and therefore cannot escape the assessor

DOINGS Of NORTHWEST LEGISLATURES

G. S. Ives for Mr.. Blair, at the contest
trial his morning.
Speaker Bowling announced the seven
teen members from the house who are
to act on the reapportionment committee
with fourteen members from the senate.
The house members are: Anderson.
Hymes and Gait, of the First district;
Jacobson, Torson and Larson, Second
district; Peterson, G., and Whitford,
Third district; Schurman and Butler,
Fourth district; Wallace, Peterson, ]. A,
and Armstrong, G. W.. Fifth district;
Mallory and Ferris, Sixth district; Lom-
men and Benson, Seventh district.
The districts to get extra members
on the committee are the First, Second
and Fifth, three each.
There is no complaint by Fourth dis
trict members, and the people up in the
Sixth are satisfied. There was definite
understanding that Mallory and Ferris
should go on the committee, and their
influence, it was agreed would be all
that was necessary. There is some dis
satisfaction, however, in the southern
part of the Sixth. Representative Dag
gett, of Sank Rapids, believes justice was
hardly done in this particular.
Speaker Bowling discharged his obliga-
ton to his party in making the commit
tee practically Republican throughout,
but one Democrat being appointed, Mr..
Butler, of ST. Paul, where there is no
likelihood of any change. The redistrict-
ing of the state will therefore be done
entirely by the Republicans.
Mr. Dunn introduced a bill providing
for state fish hatchery on the site now
occupied for that purpose. the land being
owned by the city of st. Paul. The mer-
chants of the city have tacitly agreed
to purchase the seventeen acres, so that
1t will cost the state the nominal sum
of 81. The first definite hatchery will be
established there.
