MiIwaukee-Downer College

Throughout the country there has
been rapidly growing interest in
Milwaukee-Dower College. This
institution occupies the unique posi-
ton of being the only college for
women exclusively in the great state
of Wisconsin. In addition to it's offer
ing a broad and thorough course of
college work, from any year Of which
student may pass to like rank in
other colleges, and the fact that on its
diploma a life certificate for teaching
in Wisconsin may be issued. it provides
as beautiful home in which the utmost
attention is paid to the best and most
wholesome conditions of physical we'll
being, as we'll as to the social culture
and moral influences that contribute
SO largely in preparing a woman for
the largest usefulness il the home,
church and society.
The Importance of surrounding the
life of young girl, at its most reSpon-
Sive period, with refining influences,
and an atmosphere that is conducive
to developing good taste, forming
manners, and establishing good
principals, is a constantly growing
consideration with thoughtful
parents. 1t is recognized that an
environment of beauty, refinement,
culture, together with spirit of
moral earnestness and appeal to the
higher interests of life are invaluable
in the formation Of character. The
steadily increasing patronage of the
college teStifieS to it's merit on these
important lines.
The attraction of the college is
much enhanced by the erection of a
new residence, college hall, to be
occupied in September next, by stu
dents of the college department. The
seminary, college preparatory
school, which has large attendance,
| will continue to occupy Holton hall.
The new building is a handsome brick
structure, planned to accommodate
about fifty persons, having, besides
apartments for students, parlors,
cuisine and dining room.
Certainly any young lady planning
to attend school or college or to study
music or art cannot afford to fail to
examine the opportunities for educa-
tiOn that are offered by Milwaukee,
DoWncr College.

Letter From Charley Laufer.

ALBERT FONTAINE,

DEAR SIR:-Having returned from
trip through the Sound country, |
thought [ would drop you few lines
to let the people know my opinion of
the once so called wild and woody west.
But as near as | can explain myself.
That is thing Of the past; for today
old Wisconsin has just as wild a
country. Comparing our people they
are all from the east or born from
eastern parents. And as far as the
wild country, you can compare them
with our eastern numbering districts
and mining districts here.
While in Seattle | CHANGED to
to meet Curley Contue and his
nephew, Edwards, from Marshfield.
They were all ready for Nome. They
told me they were going to try their
luck once more, and if they did not
succeed this time they would return
in the fall and 60 home and feel salts
fed that they were not lucky. They
wished me to remember them to
Phil Ward and the rest of their Wood
County friends. While in Ballard l
visited at the home of Andy Harper.
late from South Centralia, and found
them all well. Ballard is all right
to my notion. While in Seattle I
called at the home of Mrs. Thos.
Koran, late from Stevens Point, but
well-known in Grand Rapids. Seattle
to my notion is too much like Chicago
in every respect Everett is growing
little city and seems to push to the
front. My brother George is some
where up the head waters of Clear
water. prospecting. Have not heard
from him in two months. Myself and
other Grand Rapids people are in
Asotin, well and healthy. 1 only
weigh 1S4 pounds; but what is killing
me is that l have not had shot at a
deer Or bear since I have been here.
Well will close with kindest regards
to all my friends. | remain,

Social Pests.

Only the other day an unhappy man
In a New Hampshire city shot and
killed his wife and then shot himself.
When dying he told his friends that
the mania to kill had been born In his
heart under the influence Of the gossip
Of neighbors. He knew nothing
against his wife, but the whispering
Of persons he believed to be friends,
and doubtless who thought themselves
his friends, made him mad, anq ne
killed the woman he loved.
Be wary Of the tale-bearer, who ap-
proaches you in the guise or friendship
to speak i'll of another. The person
who listens willingly to gossip Is as
bad as the gossiper. If we cannot
speak we'll Of another why speak OF
him at all? Silence hurts no one. Idle
talk often breaks q heart, ruins
home, or takes a life. Gossip blighted
the romance of Romeo and jules. and
laid the lovers cold in death. Gossip
has ruined not only men, 0ut ein-
pires. Gossip is vice, and the more
dangerous because a common vice. aud
one that few persons even try %
guard. against.-Boston Globe.

CHAPTER XIV.
A LITTLE AEFA1R AMONG THE MoKKATAN
HILLS.

A LITTLE AEFA1R AMONG THE MoKKATAN
HILLS.
No one can reasonably offer any OBJ
lection to the selection Of the ground,
since it is level enough for all prac-
tical purposes, and certainly so iso'
lated that there does not seem to be
any danger of interruption. The as
ISOLATION with the strange tombs hewn
in solid rock ages ago, by the Egypt
ians, might make some men nervous,
but it does not appear to have any
such effect upon either Of the two who
have met here to face each other ir
q combat for honor.
Mr.. Grimes, in company with the
French officer, goes over the ground
step by step and announces that he is
perfectly satisfied with the location
chosen. 1t certainly cannot be i'm.
proved upon, and might not be equaled,
so they are we'll content as it is.
"Now for the weapons" says the
American, whose business-like meth.
ods cause the other to suppose he
has figured in duels before.
The French officer has heard of des-
perate affrays happening in the South
and the West. How is he to know
that the participators in these scrim-
IMAGES are, as a general thing, the
very lowest scum of society, and that
Southern gentlemen, as rule, have
given up their former allegiance to
the code as a settler for all difficult
ties?
Picking up the package, he unrolls
it. Within, wrapped in chamois skin,
lie two handsomely made swords, Of
delicate but magnificent appearance.
These he draws from their separate
scabbards and holds toward the Amer
ican.
Select which one you please" he
says, quietly.
Mr.. Grimes crooks his finger, and
when Joe, who is watching, sees this,
he comes at once to the side Of his
friend.
"Try these blades" says his second,
curtly.
The explorer takes one up, and
makes q few movements with it.
Careful, the baron's looking at
you," whispers his mentor just then,
and Joe sweeps the air no more with
the blade.
He bends it double over his knee,
allowing it to fly back again. Then
the second sword is also put through
its PAGES. Mynheer Joe's face is a
study, for he finds it pleasure to
handle such weapons as these.
How does monsieur find them?"
asks the Frenchman, eagerly.
"Superb-beyond comparison" re-
plies Joe.
(Which do you choose, monsieur"

Horseahoeinp Rack.

Shoe:ng a fractions horse is not a
task to be envied by anyone, and there
is always danger Of accident to the
man who performs the work in the
ordinary manner, as the animal -ems
possessed of the idea that the hoofs
were made to defend itself. To over
come these difficulties John Cea, of
Grundy Centre, Ia, has designed the
horseshoeing rack shown in the illus
tration, the inventor claiming that the
mechanism will hold all parts of the
animal securely in any desired posi-
tion, at the same time relieving the
horse of all strain and depriving it of
the power of injuring itself or the
blacksmith. 1t will be seen that num-
erous straps and windlasses are pro-
vided, which will not only firmly hold

The Bud and the FulIGrown Rose.

Shortly before the Duchess Of Teck's
death she and her daughter were at
tending a charity bazaar opening,
when the provincial chairman took the
floor and commenced to eulogize the
merits of their distinguished patroness.
After he had exhausted his eloquence
Oh 1.-The great charity and large and
liberal views" Of the Duchess his at
tention was directed to the slender
lady at her side, and Princess May
had a turn. Remembering the Ouch
ess Of Teck's substantial proportions,
the ludicrousness Of his remark Is ap-
parent, when he wound up a fowery
sentence by hoping that the Duchess
of York would develop on the same
broad lines as her mother" The
Duchess Of Teck, wo never failed to
see a joke, was immensely amused,

gives his order in a loud, shrill voice
that strikes the tympanum in a pain

Jump around in the liveliest possible

Not an inch out Of the way, they
shade the wind out Of the sails. and
the boat brings up gently alongside
the other, to which it f. at once Sc
cured.
The baron and his party can al
ready be seen upon the SHORE. Under
his arm the Frenchman carries long,
slender package, without doubt the
swords which are destined to occupy
so prominent place in the coming
event. There is a third member Of the
party, the man known as Colonel Tay-
lor, and also a short individual who
carries q surgeons case in his hand.
When our friends join them words
are passed between. The principals
bow in a perfunctory way, but Myn-
heer Joe smiles in careless manner
that must set the Russian duelist to
thinking.
They do not need to 60 far away;
the ground is right there among the
rock tombs, but it is advisable to move
on a little for several reasons. 1t is
not their intention to have the sailors
on board the boats witness the affair,
and Just beyond the rocks they are apt
to find a spot where the sun will not
throw his fierce rays into the eyes of
either, causing a momentary blindness
that may prove fatal. So they walk
alon- two and two, Mr.. Crimes bring
ing up the rear.
In five minutes they come to a pause,
and the French officer sweeps his arm
around with a dramatic gesture, say
ing:
Behold, gentlemen! The ground Sc
lected for the duello!'

scorpions. Scorpions Of those early
days were sea creatures, and it is
only in comparatively recent times, as
the naturalist reckons it, that the scor-

species, which he names in honor Of it's

Damages For a Misft Cork Leg.

CKanJ Il citizen was sued by Kansas
City firm for the price OF a cork leg
furnished more than five years ago.
The citizen set up in defense that the
leg didn't fit, and that it made him
walk like what he called a "step-and-
go-fctcl-it.' The jury must have
thought that step-and-go-fetch-it gait
was something awful, for it not only
released the citizen from paying the
bill. but also gave him damages to the
