finished, he laid down his knife and
fork with a funny sigh of satisfaction,

Prospects For Strenuous Life.

a well dressed lad, the son of
wealthy parents. thought it would be
quite manly to earn few coppers for
himself by selling daily papers, says
the Chicago Journal. He stopped a
tattered newsboy in the street and
said to him:
DO you think 1 should be able to
earn money as you do if l bought
some papers and came to this corner
to sell them?''
"Why do you want to sell papers?"
''I'm tired of being idle"
"Well," said the philosophic little
newsboy, with serious air, dyer
think yer can hold thirtysix papers in
one hand, lick three or four boys big
germ yerself with the other hand.
while yer keeps two more off with yer
feet and yells 'Evenin' paper all the
time?"
"No-o, DON'T" replied the well
dressed boy.
"Then yer are no good in the news
boy biz" replied the tattered philoso-
pher. "Ye'd better git yer people to
prentice yer to somethin' light"

AN AUTHORS WORKSHOP.
The Place Where Bulwer-Lytton

marked to the novelist that in such a
cheerful room among so many books

They went for considerable dis

in Knebworth park, and there stood a
boathouse. y small boat was drawn
UP Oh one side of it. and on the other
near a small window, stood a chair
and a common deal table, On which
was a pewter inkstand.
Pulling open the drawer, Lord Lytton
showed his guest good supply OF pa

An Atmosphere of Happiness.

Happiness is, we maintain. a good
end. The only question is. How much
sacrlnce is II WORTH! eli, certainly
not the sacrifice Of sincerity and Ger.
tainly not the sacrifice of others, but
surely the sacrifice of the habit of men
tai laziness, which is only self sacri-
fee. If by little trouble we can Gre
ate for ourselves a sweet atmosphere
in which to live, we are surely doing
nothing of which we need be ashamed.
After all, no one breathes his own at
mosphere alone: others breathe it With
him. If happiness is a despicable OBJ
ject, let US face the fact sincerely and
give up all the many things which we
now do openly and exclusively to OBJ
tain 1t. If it is not, why should we not
pull ourselves together. give our at
tention to the game and play up?-

malignity and avarice. Pointed noses
generally belong to meddlesome peo-

We understand that Mr. Philip
Schlumberger would accept the demo
cratic nomination for Congress against
Hon j. P. Conner. OF corr Mr..
Schldmberger understands that the
nomination would be an honor" with
no hope of election. A it is customary
for the democrats to make a nomination
in this district we see no reason why
Mr.. Schlumberger would not make as
good candidate as any other, He is
a German, fluent talker, and has for
years been one of the democratic
leaders of this county. The Review is
always glad to see Crawford county
men recognized even though the honor
be an empty one and it would not wish
to put straw in the way of Mr..
Schlumberger's ambition to have his
name on the democratic ticket. He
would make as good run as MIR. Ro-
mans did throughout the district and
would be a much more reputable candi-
date than the man whom the democrats
named two years ago. Judge Corners
majority il the district will approx.
mate ten thousand and he has 10 oc-
CASTOR to worry over the nomination of
Mr.. Schlumbergec or any other man.

CANNOT LONGER BE IGNORED

The comparisons of freight rates
charged in Wisconsin by the railroads
with those charged in Dsighboring
states, have brought to the attention Of
the people of Wisconsin the existence of
determinations which few have hither
to realized. The comparisons have now
covered so wide field that they are
found to touch almost every city and
village in the state and they effect
every business interest, except those
which may enjoy secret or favored
rate. This comparison has shown that
the freight rates on all classes of mer
chandise average 40 per cent higher in
Wisconsin than in Iowa. That the
freight rates on grain are from % to 40
per cent. higher in Wise asin than in
Illinois. That the freight ties on coal
are from 81 to IS per cent higher in
Wisconsin than in Illinoi} That the
percentage of excess of Wisconsin rates
Of live stock over the Illinois rates are
ri on cattle, so93 on hogs and 669
on sheep.
These determinations are so great
that the wonder is that they have not
heretofore attracted greater attention
They certainly present a situation which
the coming legislature cannot ignore. -
