WANT WHITEHEAD TO RUN.
Move to Make GAINESVILLE Man Candi-
date for Governor.

date for Governor.
Milwaukee, Jan. 15.-The movement
to make John M. Whitehead of James
Vile, stalwart, the republican candi-
date for governor is rapidly assuming
concrete form.
Petitions are being circulated in
every county in the state, it is assert
ed: asking Mr.. Whitehead to announce
himself a candidate. The work began
yesterday. State senator Levi Withee,
a stalwart among stalwarts, is circu-
lating the petition in La Crosse coun-
ty, but j. T. Barber has general super
vision of the work in that congress
sional district.
j. r. Barber of Eau Claire is man
of wealth and great deal Of influence
in his own part of the state. In addi-
ton to being wealthy, he is general
manager of the Moon estate, one OF
the largest left by any pioneer lum-
herman. He has not heretofore been
particularly active in politics, but
within the past year took hold in
earnest, being DESTROYS of holding the
republican party away from the di-
rections in which Gov. La Toilette
would lead. He was in Milwaukee the
early part of last week, and spent a
great deal of time in consultation with
Willard A. Van Brunt and some of the
object of their conferences was kept a
profound secret, but it seems now to
have leaked out.
Mr.. Barber took a great deal of in
terest in the recent contest for the La
Crosse postoffice and is said to have
told Congressman Esch that if Tschar-
ner was reappointed there would be
trouble in the Eau Claire end of the
district. Since it was done there have
been rumors afloat that Mr.. Barber
might give Esch run next summer
when the congressional nominations
are made. But it seems now that the
first thing he wants to do is to ge a
candidate for governor in the field.
Levi Withee; who has charge of the
work of getting signatures in La
O1oo0O' 10 oil O1u ClAI0 4u1uUOludu WIZ
has virtually retired from active bust
ness, but is busy with politics. He is
one of the surviving personal friends
Of the late Philetus Sawyer.
Milwaukee stalwart managers say
they are not surprised at the move in
the state, as developing at La Crosse,
but they deny having done anything
to foster it's inception.

CURIOUS BIRTH CEREMONY.
Old-FashiOned Nurses Observe a Gus
tom That Suggests Monkey
Ancestry.

To return again to the arboreal hab-
its which pertain to children. 1t is
rather remarkable to find that the old
fashioned nurse, when dealing with an
infants first journey in the world,
should insist on observing a custom
suggestive of the tree-tops, and of
climbing. Yet SO it is, says Pearson's
Magazine. .a.
With such a nurse it is an article of
faith that the infant must make its
first journey upstairs, and on no &C
count must it go downstairs before it
has been upstairs, or it will certainly
not rise in the world. So the nurse
may be observed taking the baby for
it's first journey up into the attic, on
some excuse or other. If, however,
there be no attic available, then the
nurse will improvise series of steps
by means of boxes and the bedroom
furniture. She will mount these with
the baby in her arms and then the fu-
ture success of the infant is assured
at least she has done the best she can
for it.
Now the folk-lorists would tell us
that this is merely case of sympa-
thetic magic, imita ting what you wish
with the idea that such action helps
the realization. Quite SO! And yet
sympathetic magic must have had
start upon. If mother monkeys saw

The University of Paris has 245
professors, 76 of whom belong to the
medical faculty, while 50 teach lit

The state of Kansas employs at

the average age of whom is but 21
years. In the three counties of Logan,
Rock and Shawnee the ACREAGE age
of the teachers is only 10 years.
In Patrick and Henry counties of

DR.. James NJ. Ludlow, now pastor

church of East Orange, N. j., re-

The University of Athens is very

German language is heard about the

several of the chairs have been hand
somely endowed by private individ-
uals.
Prof. Charles F. Kent, who teaches
biblical literature at Yale, thinks
that moderate" hazing is good
thing. In discussing the story of Jo-
seph the other day he told one of his
classes that the owner of the coat
of many co]ors was rather a fresh
young person and that the ha2ing
which his brothers gave him was
needed to bring out what was strong
and good in him.

that their offspring who had not suffi-
cient grip to go up the trees fell down
from the tree-tops and came to I'M
timely ends, they might, from long ex-
perience, have acquired the instructive
knowledge that the youngsters who
went down instead of going up never
got on in the world.
There is another matter connected
with nurses and infants which seems
particularly reminiscent of the tree
tops-the manner in which babies are
got off to sleep by rocking in the arms
or in the cradle. Is not this an inher-
itance from tree-dwelling ancestors
the rocking being an imitation of the
to-and-fro swaying of the branches,
which would be the natural accom-
paniment of sleep with arboreal
dWellers?
