The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1901-12-13

In a city where children above the
age of five years have to pay full fare
on the tramcars while those who are
younger go free the passengers in a
car saw one day a rather large boy,
looking seven years old at least, held in
his mothers lap as though he were a
baby. The big child seemed restless
about something.
Presently he cried: Mammal Nam
mar
The mother, as if with a premonition
of something wrong, tried to hush him,
but he still kept saying: Mamma.
Mammal
"Well, what is it," she asked at last
Mamma, when do I have to say I'm
only fve?
Then the ngers-some Of them
laughed and the mother turned very
red.-London Answers.

A Tninuo ROOE.

A publishing firm which makes a spe-
cialty of expensive editions Of standard
authors has recently published an edi-
ton of the works of Dickens. The set
is in thirty volumes and literally il
Illustrated and illunined. An eccentric
buyer decided he would like to have a
set composed Of the proof sheets of the
edition. These were, of course, much
marked, corrected, noted and otherwise
marred, but they were collected and
bound in an exquisite binding and sent
to the collector of original books. He
paid 81. 400 for the privilege of owning
probably the most unique reprint of
New York Times.

A HEARTY LAUGH.
The Wonderful Effects Z Has Upon
the Human System.


Laugh and grow fat is a saying as
old as the hills. 1t has long been an
accepted fact that humor is promoter
of digestion and merry words the dead
Hest foes Of disease. DR.. j. E. Kenne
dy, editor of the Iowa Health Bulletin,
writes an interesting article on the val
lie of laughter, in which he shows 1t is
not only remedial agent, but is also
valuable preventive against a host of
diseases. The physical effects of laugh
ter are thus put down by DR.. Kennedy:
Laughter increases the blood circula-
ton.
1t enlarges the heart.
1t expands the lungs.
1t jiggers the diaphragm.
1t promotes the dioculation of the
spleen.
In other words, laughter stirs up the
vital regions of the body, gives them
healthful exercise and produces a men
tai eXhilaration which acts upon the
system much as brisk walk in a crisp
atmosphere does upon the appetite. AS
strong allies to laughter DR.. Kennedy
gives the following directions for men
tai peace of mind:
Beware of theologians who have no
sense of mirth. They are not altogeth-
err human.
Keep your chin up.
Don't take your troubles to bed with
you. Hang them on a chair with your
trousers or drop them in a glass Of wa
ter with your teeth.
Dr. Kennedy has surely hit the nail
on the head. If his prescription and
advice are followed, his own bills will
be decidedly cut down. - Burlington

- LURED BY SCENT.
Rats Caught In Numbers by an In
EeniOus Means.

Rats Caught In Numbers by an In
geniOus Means.
Rats are very susceptible to the Odor
of certain drugs, and any ordinary trap
set in their haunts is likely to be sue
cessful if dressed with these scents, the
attraction Of which, rat catchers affirm,
they cannot resist. An example is:
Powdered assafetida, eight grains; oil
OF rhOdium, two drains: oil Of aniseed,
one dram; oil of lavender, one-half
dram. Shake together in a bottle and
use a very small quantity to dress the,
bait.
10 catch rats, cover common barrel
with stiff, stout paper, tying the edge
round the barrel. Place board SO that
the rats may have easy access to the
top. Sprinkle cheese parings or other
food for the rats on the paper for sew
cral days until they begin to think that
they have right to their daily rationsi
from this source Then place in the
bottom of the barrel piece of rock
about six or seven inches high, filling
with water until only enough of it
projects above the water for one rat to
lodge upon.
Now replace the paper, first cutting
cross in the middle, and the first rat
that comes on the barrel top goes
through into the water and climbs on
the rock. The paper comes back to it's
original position, and the second rat
follows the first. Then begins a fight
for the possession of the dry place on
the stone, the noise of which attracts
the others, who share the same fate.--

A Choice of Calves.

The difficulties the early Virginian
colonists had with their live stock is
curiously illustrated by the fact that
in the colony of Massachusetts, Bay a
red calf was cheaper than black one,
experience having shown that the for
mer was more likely to be attacked by
wolves, owing it was thought, to the
wolves installing it for a deer.

Gov. stones Opinion.

Speaking Of the two constitutional
amendments to be voted on in November,
we quote from Governor stones address
in Pittsburg recently, as follows;
III felt constrained to withhold my APP
prova, from them two years ago. They
are now before the people for adoption or
rejection. One provides for personal
registration of voters in cities. l find
that good many Republicans favor the
adoption of this amendment. While
doubt that it will result in the reform
claimed for it, still it is matter tor the
people to settle at the polls. So far as
know it will meet with no serious oppo.
sition in Republican c relies.
"rhe other amendment seeks To- place a
voting machine in every voting district
in the state. These machines will cost Il
million and a half of dollars. They will
cost Sl50,o0O in Allegheny county. VIII
they prevent dishonest elections? They
will not, in my Judgment, don't think
it possible to invent machine that will
make dishonest election aticers honest,
aud if they are honest they don't need a
machine. l think it is scheme to make
money for those interested in the pat
entS.'

EMMA GoLDMAN's remarks ON the as
sassination of President Mckinley and
her praise Of Czolgosz are an emination
from a mind saturated with murder
Every anarchist glories in murder, re-
joices over every fresh assassination,
and hopes for still more frequent and
awful deeds of blood. Society indulges
these murders on the ground that they
have theory and are, therefore licen-
sed to advocate assassination in the name
OF free speech. As long as governments
allow these murderers to preach murder
and revel in it, the list Of startling assas-
nations will continue. When govern
ments get tired Of the murderers who call
themselves anarchists the effective rem
edies will be applied. Newspapers which
defend and uphold characters ofthe Gold
man strike in there right Of "free spec n, i"
as was done by the Philadelphia Notrh
American on the occasion Of her visit 10
that city, are no better than the woman
herself And yet they are the sort that
are nauseating the public with their pre-
teniion to'gTeBt holiness ard efforts to
"reiorm" people.

The Republican party has great his
toric record. Its policies preserved the
unity of the nation and have since be-
slowed upon the people the highest de-
gree of prosperity they have ever known.
The distinct individuality of the Repub-
lican party must he preserved, and there
can be no justification of any departure
from its long approval and vindicated
standards of action. President Roose-
welt has appointed as di,tsict judge Of the
Uuited States court in Alabama Demo-
crat, but one who, as a supporter Of the
gold standard, voted for Mckinley. To
that extent Judge Jones has acted with
the latest Republican national platform,
and his appointment has much TO CON-
mend it. At the same time there must
be in Alabama and in other Southern
States Republicans who are thoroughly
fitted by character and attachments 10
till any vacant place. As far as the DEM
ocratic party is in power its inflexible
rule is to appoint no Republican to office.
The Republican party is less rigid, but
the advancement OF its principles is a mat
ter to be kept steadily in mind. There
is an obvious and serious distinction here
that should not be overlooked.

The Voting Machine Grab.


PENNSYLVANIA will be called upon to
vote yes" or no" upon two proposed |
amendments 10 the constitution. One |
Of these provides for personal regis
tratiOn Of voters in certain thickly ]
settled communities and is apparently /
not being approved by the leaders OF
one Of the political parties, organi-
zation men have no reason TO oppose
such an innovation. The independent
or Indifferent voter is usually the most
difficult to get to the polls. Now, II
he has to go twice for each election,
once when he is to be registered and
again to vote he will be apt TO be Of
less annoyance to the party man, Re-
publican or Democrat, as the case
may be.
AN UNPOPULAR SCHEME.
The other proposed amendment is to
permit OF the introduction of voting
machines in this state.
Little attention has been paid by the
people to this matter ii would appear,
but it is known that combination
Of politicians and capitalists are quiet
ly working a game to have this amend
ment adopted They have visions OF
a great prospective financial gains
through the introduction of this in
novation.
Samples of these machines were
shown at Harrisburg during the last
session of the legislature, when the
promoters of the scheme had strong
lobby on "the Hill," working in their
interest among the members Of both
houses
II was then estimated that the cost
of each machine would be about S2S5,
and that as there are about 1000 vot-
ing precincts in Pennsylvania the total
cost for the mere introduction OF the
machines would be over million and
a half dollars. This would not be
counting the cost of repairs and main
tenance and storage between elections.
The machines are very intricate pieces
of mechanism and would require first
class machinists TO keep them in order.
Should one of them get out of order
on election day the whole scheme OF
election in that precinct would fail
A BIG GRAB FOR POLITICIANS.
Another argument against the use OF
voting machines is that it is conceded
that no machine can make men honest
who are otherwise disposed.
The arrangement of the machine for
which this fight is being made requires
the voter to touch buttons which record
the names Of the candidates for whom
the citizen desires to vote. 1t is point
ed out that there would be nothing to
prevent dishonest men to permit i'm
personation of voters in this push the
button" scheme any more than there
is to allow men TO impersonate Others
in he casting of the ballots under the
present system.
1t is quite probable that the people
will carefully weigh the arguments pro
and con in this matter of the intro
duction of the machines before they
ultimately decide to advocate the ex-
penditure Of a million and a half dol
lars upon an experimental proposition
Republicans do not want their party
to be saddled with the responsibility
of expending over a million and half
dollars to introduce a machine in
which a combination of selfish men are
so deeply and personally interested
and which would not give satisfaction
to the people.

THERE has never been time since the
war when there was less sectional feeling
than there is to-day. South and north
fought together side by side in the Span
ish war. The Southern people surpassed
the West in the hospitable reception ac-
corded to President Mckinley on his tour
of the country, and no other section more
sincerely deplored his assassination. The
South has warmly welcomed Mr.. Roose-
welt to the Presidential office, and neither
BITTERNESS nor hate to-day is felt on either
side Of the line. Why, then, asks the
Philadelphia Times, cannot the Solid
South be broken up, and why may 1t
not become healthy, indendent infld-
enee in the nation, section to which we
may look for great leaders Of political
movements, for Presidential candidates
and for general activity which will again
make it vital part of the republic.

clined to entirely ignore Commodore
Schley's part in the affair. The Gov
ernor listened until his companion had
finished, and then, with that character
