NEWSPAPER MAN INIT

CONSIDERABLE has been said
by the newspapers of this part
of the state regarding the pro-
bable candidacy of Rock J. Flint,
the Menom onie editor for secre-
tary of state. A special cores
pendent of the Milwaukee Sen
tinel met Mr.. Flint at the Eau
Claire fair last week, and gives
the following definite information
regarding the Dunn county
editor:
There are many rumors to
the effect that Rock J. Flint of
MenomOnie, would be a candidate
for the Office of secretary of
state, but no definite information
has been obtained on the subject.
That he is looking over the field
with this in view is now admitted
by his friends in this part of
Wisconsin. AS the publisher
and editor of the Dunn County
News for over thirty years, he is
credited with being one of the,
the successful newspaper men of
the state, and has also been very
prominently identified with the
affairs of the Republican party.
Dunn county, though always
staunch Republican district, has
never had a place on the state
ticket, and he will make an effort
to see that the omission is cor
rected. The eleventh congress-
ional district is represented by
Graham L. Rice, the railroad
commissioner. Prior to the ap-
pointment of Charles Lewiston of
ST. Croix County as United
States marshal for the western
district, Mr.. Flint was generally
thought to be in line for this
position. Some thought that |

FRANK II. BELL, editor of the
Prentice Calumet, died at his
home last week. Mr.. Bell was
one of the we'll known newspaper
men of northern Wisconsin, and
was an able writer. He was al
ways popular at newspaper
gatherings, and was ever genial
and companionable. The Calumet
will continue in the Bell family,
and is being published by the
son of the deceased.

when the Governor fails to give

THERE appears to be little
difference among the members
of the state tax commission, and
the newspapers are taking a
hand in the controversy. Briefly
summed up the agitation is grow
ing out of Haugen's foolhardiness
at West Superior in directing
political attention and criticism
to the commission. The tax
commission ought to be absolute

Former State Senator SwInk has been
working on the seedless melon PROPOSE

the great problem, ''How can 1t be

amining minutely and mieroscopically
the seeds he had cut and hacked and
desiccated, in his efforts to determine
how to get along without them. And
early one morning about five months
ago, so 1t is related, Mr.. Swink came
bounding into breakfast after one of his
all-night sessions and startled his wife
and children by shouting In a perfect
spasm of glee; I've got it! l can
do it,"
Then, 1t is said he rushed away with
out explaining to his astonished family
what on earth he meant.
But Mrs. Swink is reputed to have
said: "Never mind; father knows"
And as father" stands quite we'll in
the estimation of his family, the mere
knowledge that he knew was quite suf-
fieient for all. Swlnk selected certain
kinds of seeds, planted them at certain
unusual distances apart and began to

mination. After spying on the plants as

played to them the pink interior of a

ew Commonwealth in the Antipodes
Can Boast the Dist notion.
1t will surprise many to learn that
the new commonwealth of Australia Is
the richest nation on the face of the
globe. There is not as much wealth
there in the aggregate as may be found
In some Of the older countries. but the
per capita possessions of the Austria
lians far exceed those of other people
In Europe or America. The common
wealth is a continental island, rich In
land fit for settlement and industry.
Its national prosperity Is dependent
upon no single product, but embraces
pastoral, agricultural and mining in
dustrles in almost equal degree, and
to these are rapidly being added manu-
factures.
Last year the total value Of the prod
ucts Of the colonies forming the Austria
Iian commonwealth amounted to fully
$3.50, 900. 600, of which their pastoral in
dustries represented S15O,000,O0O. their
agricultural $140,0O0,0O0, their mineral
products fully Si00.000,000 and their
manufacturing and other Industries the
remaining $160,0O0.000. The wool alone
from the 12O.000.OO0 sheep raised in
1900 was worth S100,0OO,00O
The mineral resources of Australia
cannot even be guessed at. In the last
forty-eight years the country has pro-
duced gold to the value Of $1.S00, 900. !.
600. in the last twenty silver to the
value Of $15O,000,O00.

CHAPTER XII.

One morning we received word that
my father was lying Ill at hotel in Jer-
sey. Captain Carey at once went with
me In response to the message. Julia,
too, had been sent for, but she reached
the hotel in a separate car.
The landlady received US with a por-
tentous face. DIR. Collas had spoken
very seriously indeed Of his patient, and
as for herself, she had not the smallest
hope. | heard Julia sob, and saw her
lift her handkerchief to her eyes behind
her veil
Captain Carey looked very much fright
ened. He was a man of quick sympa-
thies, and nervous about his own life into
the bargain, SO that any serious illness
alarmed him. As for myself, was in
miserable condition of mind.
We were not admitted into my fathers
room for half an hour, as he sent word
he must get up his strength for the inter
view. Julia and myself alone were al
lowed to see him. He was propped up
in bed with a number of pillows: with
the room darkened by Venetian blinds
and dim green twilight prevailing.

pallid face. His abundant white hair

had nothing to say to that; indeed,
had really no answer ready, so amazed
was at the tone he had taken. But
Julia began to sob again, and pressed
past me, sinking down ON the chair by
his side and laying her hand upon one of
his pillows.

before.

LATEST MAN is DEAD.
PASSED HIS ENTIRE LIFE IN AN
DOVER, CONN.
Never Worked from His Birth to His
Death, Invented q Valuable Device
to Save His Own Labor and Finally
Sought an Easy Demise.

The LATEST man in New England is
dead.
Joseph A. Bingham was so years old
and never In the memory Of any ae-
quaintance had he done stroke OF
work. He was born. reared, lived and
died in Andoyer, Conn. Bingham was
so lazy, says the Boston Post, that the
sight of woodpile, saw-horse and sew
made his head ache. The sight Of men
at work caused him to have fits. He
usually took them under the shade of
big elm In front of the town tavern.
He never washed his face, combed his
hair, wore collar nor laced his shoes.
All these little minor things required
some degree Of animation, and Bing-
ham abdorred animation.
Born Of well-to-do parents, he was
supported by their wealth as long as
they lived, then legacy was left him
In trust, which the selectmen doled out
to him. He boarded at Andover inn for
years, until his money was gone, then
the scene shifted to little house pro-
yided by the seIectmen. Here 1t was
charged that he was too lazy to cut the
wood given him, too lazy to draw water
from the nearby well, too lazy to tie up
his shoes. 1t was too much work to
put on a collar, and as for cooking a
meal with material all given him
well, he would starve rather than do 1t.
Several years ago, when he became a
town charge, an effort was made to
get work out Of him, but 1t proved a
fiat failure. He was let out to far
mer to assist in threshing grain. Bing-
ham was given the position of taking
away the shucked straw after 1t has
passed through the whlrling thresher.
He watched the machine work for a
few minutes end then, with hammer
and nails and two or three pieces of
board, rigged up device which. when
attached to crank on the feeder, serv-
ed to carry the discharged straw away
to the dump. This single effort pros
trated Bingham and he took nap
| forthwith.
Some one recognized the value Of the
new device, and the idea was patented
In Binghams name as joke. A short
time later an agent for threshing ma
chine company came to Andover and
woke Bingham up. The agent found
him under his favorlte tree asleep, as
usual. The agent talked; Bingham look
ed disturbed. The agent wanted the
use Of the patent; Bingham wanted to
be left alone Finally the exasperated
agent, getting no replies from the lazy
man, raised his bids by degrees from
$50 to $500. Bingham turned over and
settled himself to take a well-earned
rest Then the agent gave him paper
to sign, but Bingham was sleeping the
sleep of the weary. The agent gave
up and left town. Bingham slept on.
His sleep was never disturbed by the
thought of the fortune that knocked
at his door.
For the first time in % years he look
ed into mirror What be saw there
was his own reflection. He walked out
and deliberately began nap In front
of an approaching train. 1t ended his
life easily. No exertion on his part was
needed, as there would have been If be
had used pistol rope or poison.
