Blood.

We live by our blood, and on
it. We thrive or starve, as
our hood is rich orpoor.
There is nothing else to live
on or by.
When strength is full and
spirits high, we are being re-
freshed, bone muscle and brain.
in body and mind, with con-
tinual flow of rich blood.
This is health.
When weak, in low Spirits
no cheer, no spring, when rest
is not rest and sleep is not
sleep, we are starved; our blood
IS poor; there is little nutri-
ment in it.
Back of the blood, is food,

Exchange Sentiment.

While Gov. LaFollette may be justi-
fed in publishing book on what he
has said, it may be pertinent to ask
why somebody does not say sonnet ing
about what the governor has done.-La
Crosse Republican Leader.
Gov. LaFollette stood by Congress
man DAZZLE just as long as he believed
it was profitable to do So When he
saw an opportunity to carry Columbia
and other counties in the second dis
trict and felt that he could walk alone
in Dane, he gave DAZZLE a toss that
nearly broke his neck; however DAZZLE
comes up smilingly and says it is a
fight to the bitter end; that he discov-
cred the plot in time to repair the dam
age and that he is now free from the
reform machine .-Melrose Chronicle.
During the past few weeks Senator
Whitehead has shown the people of
the state that he is a coolheaded and
calm, unexc1table man, the very kind
needed in the governors chair at Mad
ison. The falsehoods that have been
published about him have in no wise
disturbed him and he says that he OK
pected even worse things from men
who depend on prejudice and falsehood
to win. The campaign of misrepre-
sentation began too early in the season
to have the desired efect.-Oconomo-
woo Enterprise.
Perhaps there are few events which
could have weakened the LaFollette
cause more than the withdrawal of
Congressman DAZZLE from the camp of
the governor. Among the Wisconsin
Congressional delegation, Mr.. DAZZLE
has been recognized as the only true
blue LaFollette member. From our
own personal knowledge we know him
to have been unremitting in his zeal
for the principles for which he believed
the governor stood, and in the minds
of those who knew something of the in
tegrity of the Mt Horeb congressman,
there is no doubt but that only the
basest perfdy of the part of those
whom he considered his best political
friends led him to the course which he
has chosen. Horizon Reporter.

Rev. Irl r. Hicks 1903 Almanac.

To say that this splendid work of
science and art is finer and better

sense and usefulness, is an insult

Orio.in of .cwatered StocIx.u

The expression ''watered stock"
which describes so well the expansion
of the stock of a company beyond the
value of the property, originated, it is
said, in connection with Daniel Drew,
who was once the wealthiest and most
unique manipulation in Wall street.
Drew had been a drover in his younger
days, and it was said of him that be-
fore selling his cattle in the market he
would first give them large quantities
of salt to make them thirsty and then
provide them with all the water they
could drink. In this way their weight
was greatly increased, and the pur-
chaser was buying "watered stock.

How the Eart1, Changes.

How does one generation of men
succeed another? The fathers are not
swept away in q body to make room
for the children, but one by one the
old drop off, and the young come on
until day is reached when none OF
those remain that once were here. How
does some form Of human speech be-
come extinct? About 100 years ago an
old lady named Dolly Dentreath died
in Cornwall She could speak the
Cornish language After her death
there was nobody that could. Thus
quietly did the living Cornish language
become dead, language. And in like
unobtrusive manner have been wrought
most of the new becomings which
have changed and are changing the
earth.-John Fiske in Hmper's.

Old Polo.

In "The Arabian Nights" we read of
a wise sage who cured a great king by
a decoction with which he anointed the
handle of a stick with which the king
was in the habit of playing a game at
ball, to the end that when the royal
hand perspired in the vigor of the play
the open pores might receive the med
icament.
The translator speaks of this stick as
a "golf stick (sic), but it is plain from
the context that the game was played
on horseback 1t was, in fact, polo.
Indeed the illustrations of the very
same edition show the said king play
ing the game on horseback.

Much of the sinking, tired and empty

A great deal of corn is standing
in the fields, the most of it in shock.
A considerable amount was not cut.
The cutting was put off because the
corn was not ripe. Waiting so long
before cutting the frost took it,
spelling the fodder. The husking
was put off partly from the stress of
other work and partly because the
corn was soft and the weather warm,
rendering it liable to mold if husked
and put in bins.
