The Milwaukee Journals Great
Literary Treat.

About Jan. 10th The Milwaukee
Journal will begin the publication of
a series of railway stories written by
Frank III. Spearman. A special ar
rangement has been made by The
Journal with Mcclure, Phillips &
Co., New York, who recently publish
ed the stories in book form under the
title of Held for Orders.
Mr.. Spearman has written the best
railroad stories that have ever been
told. He is familiar by experience
with the operation of railroads and
he deals most Interestingly and pic
turesquely with railroad men and
their deeds and daring.
To the general reader the stories
will possess abs orbing interest, while
to the railroad man they will be abso-
lutely captivating. The stories will
be artisitcally ILLUSTRATED.

The following appeared in The
Evening Wisconsin among other
notes on the State Teachers conven-
| ton:
Prof. d. E. Johnson. head of the
| Fond du Lac business college, was
among the guests at the convention
last night. He stood about the lobby
| for couple of hours and finally re-
marked that there was one thing
| which impressed him more and more
| the longer he remained there. 81 am
| surprised at the number of teachers |
| see smoking about here" he said.
"Why, at their own homes they
would not dare to do SO much of it or
| they would lose their jobs. Then |
hear there were some bottles among
the boOkmen, and it makes me won
der if some of the boys will not com
plain of being sick when they 60 to
bed tonigh4.''
In regard to the use of tobacco and
liquor, school teachers should be in
fuenced by higher motive than that
of fear of losing their jobs. Il heir
teaching is not done altog Ter by
precept, but largely by example. By
relating an incident which happened
shortly after his election to the pres
idency Of the Washington university,
General Robert e. Lee forcibly illus
trated the great responsibility of the
lives of school teachers. One day,
while taking walk in a snow storm,
he became aware that he was being
closely followed by some one; and on
turning around, he found a boy care
fully stepping in his, Gen. Lees, own
footprints. If boy in smoking Gig
arctic is not following exactly the ex-
ample of q man in smoking a cigar,
| he is not very far from following in
his steps. School teachers, and other
men and women besides, should have
a double incentive to right manners
OF life, even in small things-that of
doing right because it is right-and of
setting a good example for the young.
While smoking and tippling are not
objectionable sins, they do not add
to the moral stature of the Individual,
and are hardly thought to be accom-
plishments of schoolmen, even in
Milwaukee, where so many "good
/ fellows" abound.

In referring to the fact that the peO-
pie of Belmont have voted to author
ize the school board to borrow $4,000
from the state trust funds for the con-
structiOn of a new high school build
ing, County Supt. Nattrass says:
'The action of the voters reflects
credit upon their enterprise and shows
that they desire to have boys and
girls to have as comfortable sur
rOundings during their school days as
are Obtainable in any other high
school district. The old build
ing did good service for thirty years
but must now step aside to make way
for a modern, up-to-date structure
which will represent the public spirit
and educational interests of the tax
payers of Belmont"

BAZAAR AFTER HOLIDAYS.
Hussars So Decidedly Definitely
New Members Elected.

At the quarterly meeting of the Geor-
gia Hussars' Club last night, it was
definitely decided to postpone the pro-
posed bazaar. which the club contem-
plated holding the first week in De-
cember, until after the holidays. This
was done at the instance of the retail
merchants, who claimed that the func-
ton, if given at that particular time,
would injure their business.
1t was the sense of the meeting, how
ever, not to relax any efforts in max
ing the bazaar a distinct success, and
to this end to work sedulously until
after the holidays. so that the affair
will be an even greater success than
it would have been, had it been given
at the date first decided upon. The
work of getting up the bazaar is al
ready under way. Members of the club,
assisted by ladies, are making every
effort to make the bazaar a greater
financial success than either of those
held in 1889 and 1896. which were un-
qualifiedly successful.
Several new members were elected to
the troop and to the club. The first
regular fall drill of the troop was
held. A large number answered to roll
call. The troop is being augmented by
new members at every meeting, and
its officers are elated at the proportions
which it assumes. Drills will be held
regularly hereafter on every Monday
night, at Sis o'clock.

WRAPS FOR THE FALL.

The wraps of early fall will be short
er than those worn last winter There
is a decided tendency, probably due to
the sense of personal comfort which
gains the upperhand just now, to short
en- the three-quarter paletots and sacks
which, while still retaining the loose
automobile effect, stop short now just
below the waist line-a much more
sensible arrangement when an extra
foot of length means extra weight and
burden. 1t is probable also that
more cloth wraps will be worn during
the coming season and the fur decor
atoms will be confined to collarettes,
boas and Innings.
OF course there is nothing more ele-
CANT than a fur-lined wrap and in
having such a garment one need have
no fear of hiding this light of fashion
under bushel, for an opportunity to
display the fur is provided in the
rounded cut of the cloak.
Boas are too elegant for mere words
to describe and their beauty can only
be appreciated with the eye The
fiat boa is undoubtedly the most fash
ionable shape. Sometimes it is just a
soft fluff of ostrich and marsbout
feather fronds, these in some clever
way woven into a fabric. or else it is
covered with small tulle frills running
across from edge to edge. In the new
fiat ruffie the prettest trihe that has
yet been shown is formed of white silk
Chantilly ring net with black Chan
lilly applications. About four frills go
to the ruff1e and, of course, lond ends;
but the topmost frill is adorned with
an edge and applications of the black
Chantilly. These applications also oc-
cur on the ends of the two long full
stoles of the net.
