"Hot Time" as the National Air.

Hot Time in the Old Town." de-
clared Prof. Georg Eduard, of the
German department Of Northwestern
University, sis bound to become the
national air of the United States. Both
the music and the words are In perfect
harmony with the Yankee spirit, and
when the people want to express them
selves and can't think of anything
else to sing, they break out spontane-
ously with Hot Time They've sung
1t all round the world.
"The charge up San Juan hill was
made to its music, and the hand played
it when the United States soldiers en-
tered Pekin, and to-day they are sing
ing 1t in the Philippines"
Prof. Eduard spoke in all earnest
ness, for though he is native Of Ger.
many and not yet naturalized citizen
Of this country, he is thoroughly In
love with America and her progressive
spirit, and declares that he will never
return to Germany to live. These
statements were made to his German
class. and were occasioned by the les
son for the day, which was the Ger
man song, "The Lorelei." The profes
sor became so Interested that he tool

and American political institutions
and compared the character Of Presi

MUZZLE FOR UGLY PIG. can not get 1t
Off At the same time this harness
does not prevent the animal from eat
ing slop or shelled grains. Little ex-
planation Is necessary about this har-
ness, for the cut shows how 1t Is made
and adjusted. The essential feature
is to have the strap back Of the fore
legs adjusted tightly enough so that
the animal can not slip 1t over her
head. 1t must also come close enough
to the forelegs so that there will be no
chance Of it's slipping. The harness
should be made of heavy leather well
joined with rivets. The expense of
such harness as shown Is small and
several of them can be made If neces.
sary so that any and all Of the pig
eaters may readily be kept from doing
mischief.

What Education Teaches.

The great thing in all education, says
noted professor in the Beacon, is to
make our nervous system our ally in
stead of our enemy. 1t is to fund and
capitalize our acquisitions and live at
ease upon the interest of the fund.
For this we must make automatic and
habitual, as early as possible, as many
useful actions as we can, and guard
against the growing into the ways that
are likely to be disadvantageous to
us, as we should guard against the
plague. The more of the details of our
daily life we can hand over to the eff
fortress custody of automatonism, the
more the higher powers of mind will
be set free for their own proper work.
There is no more miserable human be-
ing than one in whom nothing is ha-
bitual but indecision, and for whom
the drinking of every cup, the time of
rising and going to bed every day, and
the beginning of every bit Of work, are
subjects of express volitional delibera-
ton. Full half the time Of such man
goes to the deciding, or regretting, OF
matters which ought to be so ingrained
in him as practically not to exist fol
his consciousness at all. If there be
such daily duties yet not ingrained In
any one of my readers, let him begir
this very hour to set the matter right

A Thing to Do.

Another thing we general farmers
ought to do, and that is set out more
forest trees. Did you notice the story
of that old walnut bridge In Indiana
that certain company wanted so bad
ly that they were willing to put up a
good steel bridge in the place Of it?
The wood, they thought, would be
worth more than the steel bridge. And
the men who controlled the walnut
bridge refused the offer. Now, this
state Of affairs is likely to continue.
Our forests are vanishing, and unless
you and 1, the general farmers Of the
country, get right down to business
and plant trees the day is near at hand
when fencing and building material

Every farm ought to be turned into a

PASSION FOR REVOLUTIONS.
Repeating Rifles and Cannon Have
Failed to Work a Cure.

Failed to Work n Cure.
If some of the learned scientists
who are devoting their talents to the
study of germs would turn their at
tention to South America and the isl
ands Of the Caribbean they might have
discoveries which would prove bless
ing to mankind in that disturbed quar-
ter Of the world. Why should the
South American and the West Indian |
take to riot and revolution as naturally |
as duck does to water, asks the Bal
timore Sun? Is 1t because they are
Of fercer and more turbulent disposi-
ton than the inhabitants Of other parts
Of this hemisphere, or Is it because
they are the victims of sinister bacilli,
germs of rampant and irresistible
strenuosity?
Not long ago an American savant
announced that in certain parts Of the
United States there Is bacillus which
makes its way into the bodies Of its
unfortunate victims and produces an
invincible aversion to physical and
mental activity. If there is a germ Of
inertia, why shouldn't there be
bacillus of pernicious activity and mis-
directed strenuosity as we'll? 1t is not
fair to the South American brethren
to assume that they are totally de-
PRAYED; that they engage in throat
cutting and other bloody diversions
from pure love OF doing evil. In some
degree, at least, they have been under
the influence of American and Euro
pean civilization for great many
years. To some extent they have in
troduced the forms of civilization into
their governments and social institu-
tiOns. Yet despite their contact with
citizens of the most enlightened nations
and their commercial and diplomatic
relations with Europe and the United
States, they have scarcely more re-
spect for law and order than the
human race displayed in the days of
primitive man.
If there are bacilli in the western
hemisphere indigenous to the tropical
regions which incite a people against

Wagon Wrench and Jack.

When team gets stalled with
heavy load and the driver uses every
means of persuasion, from the whip to
bad language, to urge the horses to
start the wagon, nearly every passer-
by has feeling Of sympathy for the
animals and desire to caution the
driver against cruelty. A more prac-
tical thought than these has entered
the mind of Missourian, resulting in
the invention Of simple apparatus,
which can be carried on every wagon
for use in emergency Of this kind. In

COOL HEAD is ESSENTIAL.
Traipers of Wild Animals Must Be
Ever on the Alert for Surprises.

OF husC DC
Ever on the Alert for Surprises,
Wildcats, tigers, jaguars, panthers,
and leopards offer the greatest menace
to their trainers. These are the ami
mails that appear to long most ardently
stalk their prey and utter their night
cries in their native haunts. Almost
necessarily they swing back and forth
behind the bars peering over the heads
of the spectators with wild eyes that
seem to be trying to discern the for
est beyond the confines Of their prison
house. Besides their restlessness,
reason why the big beasts Of the cat
family are considered more dangerous
than the others Is found in their de-
'ceptive methods of attack. Lions and
bears meet their enemies boldly, but
a tiger or leopard-particularl the
latter-creeps up stealthily, crouches,
draws back when faced and then,
when the victims guard Is relaxed,
gives a mighty leap. Kind treatment
has but slight effert upon the crea-
ures Of the forests. Their deep feel
ing of protest against a life that is
most unnatural to them cannot be
banished by Jumps of sugar and friend
1y pats.
The process Of subjection Is, of
course, very gradual one. A train

known in a pleasant way to his new
pupil He attends to its feeding for
a week or so, stands by its cage talk
ing to it and opens the door little,
rubbing its head cautiously as 1t ap-
proaches. Finally when the animal
has become accustomed to his presence
he enters the cage, being as unobtru'
.sive as possible, so as not to frighten
or irritate his host. For an hour OF
more at time he may sit in the cage
reading or playing with the animal
lf he dares. A trainers next move
Is usually to give the pupil taste OF

IN passing the rule that on and after
May /, 1908, all services that supply
two or more consumers shall be metered
the Board of Water Commissi oners
have found way to get around diff
ficulty that has been bothering them
for some time. In almost all other
cities the property owners are com-
PEELED to pay the water companies for
the water passing through the service
pipes which supply their buildings,
and they can make any arrangements
they choose with the tenants in regard
to the use of the water. In Kenosha,
however the law is defective, sand the
powers of the water commissioners are
so restricted that they can not collect
from the owners of the buildings
in which there are several tenants, but
are compelled to split up the water
bills among the various occupants of
| the buildings and collect them as best
they can. 1t might be possible to pass
an ordinance making the owners of
buildings responsible, but there would
be some question of the legality of
such an ordinance, and the commits
sioners believe that the rule requiring
this class of service pipes to be metered
will settle the question Of who is to
pay the bills at least as far as the
water company is concerned. While
the commissioners have no power di-
rectly to say who shall be responsible
for the payment of the bills in build
ing filled with tenants, if the water is
sold by meter rate somebody will have
to put up a deposit on the meter and in
this way the city will be protected
from loss. 1t has been found to be
very difficult for the water Office to keep
track of the tenants in some of the
buildings in the city and undoubtedly
some of the consumers of water have
got out of paying for it. Strange as
it may seem some of the wealthiest
property owners of the city have
winked at the defrauding of the water
company by their tenants and while
not exactly conniving with the tenants
of their building to beat the compan my,
they have not been of any assistance
to the men employed by the water
company to look after this class of
consumers.

Association of Wisconsin will be held
at Marinette Feb. 20 to March /, and
it is likely that large delegation
from Kenosha will attend. Aside from
the stimulus the Christian movement
among young men and boys will re-
ceive from the convention the report
of the practical accomplishment of the
past twelve months will indicate that
the association has forged ahead in
remarkable degree, and that much has
been done since the convention met
last to place the association on a more
substantial basis than ever before.
AT the convention State Senator ].
NJ. Whitehead, OF GAINESVILLE, Chair
man of the State Board, will give az
address. S. D. Gordon, of Oberlin,
O., will give "Quiet Talks on Power":
Fred S. Goodman, International Secre.
tary at New York City, will give ad-
dresses on religious meetings and bible
study; E. S. Hamilton, railroad secre-
tary of the International committee,
will speak on the work for railroad
men. c. S. Ward, international secre-
tary at Chicago, will take up and de-
scribe educational work. Social work
will be described by w. w. Wood, the
educational director at Chicago. Gen
eral Secretary c. B. Willis, Of Milwau-
kee, will have charge of the musical
program.
The athletic meet will take place on
Saturday evening. The feature of
this part of the program will be con-
test between teams consisting of three
men from associations that have gym
nasiums.
An exhibit of association work has
been planned, consisting of mounted
cards containing facts and figures and
Photographic illustrations. Special
efforts are being made to secure a
large mum Der of delegates.
