WITHOUT A STATE.

Madison, Wis, March 13.-It has
lust been d scovered that strip of
land of $50, 900 acres, near the bound
ary between Wisconsin and Michigan
lies in neither state. In 1T Is the city
of Ironwood, Mich, the remainder
being between the Brule and Paint
rivers. e. d. Peake, an employee OF
the Wisconsin state senate, made the
discovery that this strip was origin
ally included In Michigan, but was not
in the survey when the state OF Wis
consin was laid out. The question
has arisen as to whether Official acts,
such as marriages and land transfers
in the strip are valid. and the matter
will probably be brought before the
Wisconsin legislature.

Mr. Bisbee then began discharg-
ing some of his heavy guns, and a not
fight followed. He wanted to see the
New England company do something
beside talk. He took no stock In
their verbal promises. II they would
file. under their corpora tiOn seal, a
written statement with the city clerk,
telling just what they would do and az
reeing to forfeit their franchise II they
did not do as they agreed, then ne,
for one, would give up trying to form
an independent company. These
propositions we're just mere talk, not
thing more. Ex-Mayor Browne ans.
wered him with much eloquence. and
running fire of statements and chal'
lenges, sharp questions and printed
answers followed between Mr.. Browne,
B. w. Hooker, Mr.. Bisbee and Mr..
Scarf.
H. W. Scott spoke eloquently and
at some length in favor of granting
the franchise. He took Mr.. Scarf to
task on statement he made as to
now the New England Co., got around
the franchise granted them by the
aldermen by getting permission to
string wires street by street, thus, as
he claimed, getting just what they
wanted by methods of their own.
Mr.. Scarf replied briefly and then
had little encounter with @. 5. Cur
rier, in which the latter did not come
out second best.
Donald Smith asked questions and
Alderman Mackay answered him.
Then Mr.. Mackay asked questions and
Mr.. Bisbee answered him. Donald
Smith closed the hearing with short
but poin'ed remarks.
At $40, there being no more re-
marks the opposing forces Withdrew in
good order, followed by the large
crowd of spectators present and the
Doald went into executive session.
After a short discussion the matter
was referred to the finance committee
to investigate and report back, SO
there is more excitement coming.
Before adjourning the board passed
1e,olution at the suggestion OF
Mayor Phelps, that all committees
authorized to contract bills, and all
heads of departments, see to it that
all such bills be presented for pay
ment within 30 days of the time they
are contracted, and that all bills must
be o, KID, by the parties contracting
them. The city will cease trading
With all firms who do not present their
bills within 80 days.

The Military Salute.

All salutes. from taking of the hat
to presenting arms, originally implied
respect or submission. OF military sa-
lutes, raising the right hand to the
head is generally believed to have orig
mated from the days of the tourna-
ment when the knights filed past the
throne Of the queen of beauty and. by
way of compliment. raised their hands
to their brows to imply that her beau
ty was too dazzling for unshaded eyes
to gaze upon.
The officers salute with the sword
has double meaning. The first posi-
ton, with the hilt opposite the lips,
is repetition Of the crusaders actor,
IN kissing the cross hilt Of his sword
in token of faith and fealty. while low
ering the point afterward implies ei-
Their submission or friendship. meaning
in either case that 1t is no longer nec-
essary to stand on guard. Raising the
hand to the forehead has also been ex-
planned as sign that the weaponed
hand is empty and in an inoffensive po-
sition. but this reason does not seem
SO convincing as the others.

A Beavers Toilet.

It is an interesting sight to watch the
outlaw at his evening toilet. To begin
with, instead of sitting up with his
large, fiat, ribbed tail protruding be-
hind him, he tucked it forward between
his hind legs and sat upon it. Then
with his hand he carefully combed his
long hair, using both hands at the same
time. There were many places, how
ever, that could not be reached In this
way, for his arms are very short and
his body very large, SO he combed these
otherwise inaccessible places with his
hind feet, using first one and then the
other. The entire operation was per-
formed with the utmost deliberation
and care and occupied more than a
quarter of an hour, so that by the time
it was completed daylight had almost
vanished.
My presence did not appear to dis.
turb him in the least, though sat on
the ground within three feet Of him
that might the better note his various
attitudes. for 1t Is not often one has
an opportunity Of watching beaver Of
such close range.-Everybody's Maya
zine.
