The Milwaukee Sentinel has Sc
cured the exclusive serial rights of
"The Iron Brigade" a thrilling
romance of the Civil War, written
by General Charles King, in that
we11-known authors best style.
The story deals with the fortunes of
several officers of the famous Iron
Brigade, which was largely made up
of gallant Badger Boys in Blue and
led by an equally gallant son of the
Badger State. 1t has not yet APP
peared in book form, but is said by
competent critics who have had the
privilege of reading the manuscript
to be easily the book of the year. :
A story of Wisconsin soldiers, led
by a Wisconsin general, written by a
wisconsin author, could not fail to
be of interest to Wisconsin readers.

Brains Make Soldiers,

A discussion recently took place in
the smoking room of a Swiss hotel be-
tween a German and an American as
to the merits of their respective armies.
The former believed in discipline and
trained troops. The American believed
in training, too, but held that lot de-
pended upon the material trained.
Given" quoth he, that brains are
lacking, no amount Of physical train
ing will make up for them. Take the
American troops, comparatively UNI
trained, and see how we'll they fight.
It's because of their brains"
"Nonsense," rejoined the aroused
German. "Untrafned troops can never
stand against we'll drilled ones. Take
your country, for example, with prac-
tically no drilled army. What would
you do''- He paused impressively and
then said, what would you do If Ger
many landed an army of 100000 per-
fectly drilled and perfectly equipped
men on your shores?"
"Bury Them" was the quiet but COM
plete ejoinder.-Detroit Free Press.

Spring Fever.

Spring fever is another name for
biliousness. 1t is more serious than
most people think. A torpid liver
and inactive bowels means pois-
oned system. If neglected, serious
illness may follow such symptoms.

all danger by stimulating the liver,
opening the bowels and cleansing
the system of impurities. Safe

The foot Of horse is one Of the most
ingenious and unexampled pieces Of
mechanism in the whole range of ami
NAL structure. The outside hoof is
made up of a series of thin vertical
lamina of horn, about 500 in number.
Into this are fitted about 500 more thin
lamina, which belong to the coffin
bone, both sets being elastic and adher-
ent. The edges Of a quire of paper in
serted leaf by leaf into another quire
will furnish a good idea of the arrange
ment of the lanina in all the feet,
amounting to about 1000. These are
distributed in the most secure manner
and in a way that every spring is acted
upon in an oblique direction. Verify
there is a display Of natures wonder

Farm er's Institutes for 100 2=3.

Any farmer or public spirited
business man in Wisconsin who
wishes to secure an Institute for
his locality during the winter season
of 1902-1903 should send to US for a
blank petition and letter of informa-
ton. Any town, no matter how
small or far from the railroad, is
entitled to an Institute, provided it
is located in farming district and
has a good hall in which a meeting
can be held.
Farmers should talk this matter
up with their neighbors and if the
sentiment seems favorable for an
Institute for their town they should
write US at once for application
blank.

People often wax impatient because
express trains cannot be stopped at
some unimportant little station at
which they wish to alight They should
consider the cost of satisfying their
whim. A train going at a rate of sixty
miles an hour can be stopped within
120 yards from the first application OF
the brake. Now, enough power is lost
to carry this same train fifteen miles
over plane surface. First there is
the momentum acquired by the train
flying at this remarkable rate of speed,
then the loss of steam in applying the
brakes and lastly the extra amount OF
coal to compensate for all these losses,
for all of which impatient passengers
would not care to pay.

A Chance to Reta1iate.

The minister was young and easily
embarrassed. The first time he per-
formed the marriage ceremony it was
for couple who were both younger
and still more easily embarrassed than
he.
When he had finished the service and
murmured a few kindly meant but
hating words to the young couple
whom he had just united, the bride
looked at him, blushing, but confident.
''sThank you" she said clearly. It's
real kind of you to congratulate US,
and as long as you haven't ever been
married yet, maybe Wen have a chance
some day to retaliate."

Fourth of July is but two week

Fourth of July is but two weeks
away. The small boys are antlci-
pating it with frecrackers, Roman
candles and sky rockets. There are
two special days in the year to which
the boys look forward with anxiety
and the hope that they will come
quick-Christmas and the Fourth of
July. The celebration of the Fourth
of July has a peculiar charm for the
boy. He has good deal of belllger-
ency in his constitutional compost
ton and the smell of gunpowder,
but especially the noise of it's burn
ing delights him. Somehow gunpow-
der and patriotism seem to be init
mate1y associated. Let us make
the boys patriotic by indulging
them in the use of fireworks on the
fourth of July. Let the guns roar,
the bands play and the soldiers
parade. Shoot the skyrockets. Fire
off the Roman candles and if fire
crackers must be used fire them by
p1atoons, all at once. In this way
they will make the 1oudest noise and
be the less ANNOYING.

How to Make a Bulldog Let Go.

Says a breeder of bulldogs: ''The
quickest way to release a person from
the jaws of a bulldog, if he be unfortu-
nate enough to be bitten, is by catching
the dogs hind paw, in the center of
which is an exceedingly tender spot
called the heart. This should be pressed
or, even better, the paw taken into the
mouth and bitten with the teeth. The
dog will relinquish the hold at once. It
is desperate remedy, but sure one,
and one that is resorted to by the pro-
fessional dogfghters.

Vegetation is thriving nightly.
The prospect for good crops was
never better. Grass has made
phenomenal growth. Farmers say
they never saw pastures SO good be-
fore. Meadows have a fine crop.
Glover is ready for the, mower and
is very heavy. Timothy is thick,
tall and strong-is headed and IS
certain to make an exceptionally
large yield of hay. Corn has, gener-
ally, a good stand and is much far
Their advanced than usual at this
time in the season. Potatoes are
also very good, both in stand and
advancement in growth of vines.
Many fields, planted early, are in
blossom. Rye is immense. Oats
are already over two feet high and
barley has already commenced TO
head. Flax is also good and strong
and is we'll advanced for the season.
Garden truck is first class in all re-
spects. Green peas, raised in this
locality, are in the market. Straw
berries are little disappointing
in quantity, yield and quality
of berry, but the price for
them is quite reasonable. The
importation of strawberries from
the south has been small and that
is one reason why the price of the
berries raised here command stiff
price. Tree growth is phenomenal,
the foliage is large and dense and
the wood is growing rapidly.
