THOSE in the state who would like to
see the unfortunate republican factional
fight in this state settled amicably and
without any sacrifice to principle are
turning to ex-Lieut. Governor Emil
Baench of Manitowoc as compromise
candidate for governor. He is man of
undoubted integrity and with firmness
of character that makes him absolutely
reliable in public office. Every office he
has filled he has conducted with such
ability and frank honesty as to COM
mend him to all the state who desire
strict honesty and firmness in public af-
fairs. He is not burdened with such an
abnormal political ambition as would
prompt him to build up personal polit-
ical machine at the expense of the state
institutions and the taxpayers of the
state. If he has any fault it is his
modesty. -Deerfield News.

His HobnaiIed Shoes.

A globe trotter whose shoe soles are
always heavily studded with copper
brads was asked why he wore them.
He replied:
ITO those simple brads alone attrib-
ute my present good health. For years
I was an invalid, subject to neuralgia,
dyspepsia and headache. In travelling
among the western Indians I finally
concluded that their splendid good
health was due to their going bare
foot. And now attain the same result
and wear shoes. I believe the aches
and pains civilization is heir to are due
to- the insulation Of our bodies from
mother earth. Electricity, is the vital
izing constituent Of our bodies, The
globe is mighty battery, continually
generating and discharging electricity.
l restored the broken connection with
the battery with these brads. and the
result was astonishing Improvement in

Gambling the Worst Vice.

Of all the vices to which men are adj
dicted gambling is undoubtedly the
worst. Gambling has a worse effect
on the mind and conscience even than
drink. The inveterate gambler cannot
remain honest; he does not remain hon
est.
We talk earnestly to the young man
with the gambling habit because many
such young men are strong in ability
and character and would render good
service to the world if they could use
their energies properly.
The gambling instinct Is a perverted
form of ambition, the most dangerous
of human perversiOns. Every young
man who has genuine strength should
think about gambling from his own
point of view, and his own pride should
give him reasons for stopping.
If you want success in life you should
want it as q result of your own efforts,
not as the result of any accident. The
gambling instinct is weak as we'll as
vicious. 1t is self indulgent and con,
temptible; it represents the desire to
get something for nothing.-N ~~I

An English Election Experience.

An Englishman relates the following
election experience: II was taking part
in canvassing a constituency without
a representative. l was announced
as a speaker at mass meeting held
in large field within shadow distance
of a famous cathedral. One of the
other orators delivered the most i'm
pressiye speech l have ever heard. He
spoke Of the struggle of the poor, how
they had to bear their burden. He
made me almost cry by his eloquence.
He talked about his own little home,
which he only just managed to keep
together by the sweat of his brow
Who is hep l asked. We'll replied
my friend, the candidate, he is known
in his own town as "Popshop Dick"
because he is q prosperous pawn

THE many improvements made in the
College of Agriculture at Madison will
enable the management to give one of
the most interesting and instructive
winters ever experienced in the short
course. Students will have ample &C
commodations in the new agricultural
building, as it is ready for use by the in
coming class. The study of corn will
be given as new subject in the short
course. Many desirable changes have
been made for the betterment of the
course and it is said that no person who
expects to follow farming can afford to
miss the opportunity of attending. The
course opens Saturday, November 28th,
for enrolment, and actual work begins
Monday, November 30th.

ancient ruin known as Sweetheart alb

Tomato and devoted Dervorgill, with
the heart of her husband, John Ballot,
embaimed upon her breast. Lovely in
their lives, in death they are not divid-

symbols of death and decay, telling ev-

thrilling story Of woman's tender
love and devotion.

The Sudanese Baby.

\ Sudanese baby when dressed up in
it's best clothes is probably the most
uncomfortable infant in the world. The
coat or outer garment which fashion
dictates should be worn reaches to its
very heels. 1t is of heavy velvet, hang

adorned with countless buttons and
bangles Of brass, considerably adding

same material, similarly decorated aud
doubtless equally uncomfortable.

that ST. Louis has already done ninety

Strengthened out The stockholders
are chiefly in New England, Canada
and Pennsylvania and at the solicita-
ton of some of them John G. Carruth,
of Philadelphia, has been appointed
receiver, while an injunction has been
issued to prevent the sale of the prop
erty under foreclosure proceedings.
The starting of the company was In
1890 with the booming of the cities of
Sault Ste. Marie, both on the banks
of the st. Mary river-One in Canada,
the other in Michigan. AT this time
the latter contained 1900 people; the
former 5000. The development which
has taken place in the meantime has
sent the population ahead rapidly I'M
til $4,000 people were nestled where
there were 10000 not long ago.
The trouble began when r. ID. Perry,
a director in Toronto bank, objected
to it's carrying so much of the paper
Of the Consolidated. The result was
it's large holdings were put upon the
market and broke the price it had been
selling for before. Other Canadian
banks followed and the credit Of the
industrial organization became so i'm
paired by the low prices obtained for
the security that it was soon at the
end of it's borrowing resources.
Mr.. Clergue is a man of vim. About
1890 he appeared upon the scene to
make thorough examination of the
rich mineral deposits about the twin
cities and the shipping facilities posi-
BILE in connection herewith. Before
the inspection was completed he was
satisfied there were enormous posi-
bilities of enrichment in the building
of chain of cities between the wat
erways and the mines with the chief
one at Sault Ste. Marie. In his enthu-
siasm he believed that community of
100000 souls would be gathered there
within ten years, with a dozen other
cities of from 100 to 100000 people
tributary to it. His schemes were bril-
liant and daring All Canada thrilled
with anticipation and Clergue was styl-
ed the wizard Of the north and the
Morgan of Canada. Now his dreams
are Observation-Disclosures to be revived

Poor MotheHi

Inc scientific housewife, says Mary
Mouiton Smith, will see that the men,
Ders of her family receive the various
elements of food in their proper pro-
portion.
Before breakfast has been pre-.
pared" she concludes, cor after II has
been served and eaten, the housewife
should add up the different amounts
of proteid, fat and carbohydrate found
IN the foods. In the evening you can
find out whether you have taken too
much Of one kind of food. or not
enough Of another"
The Chicago Tribune comments on
this advice by dropping into poetry:
Mothers slow at figures, but she always
has to count
The proteids, to see that we secure the
right amount
She keeps pad of paper and a pencil
near the sink,
And estimates our victuals, all the things
we eat or drink.
She lists our carbohydrates and scribbles
down the fat,
And our specific gravity-she always
watches that.
