Jeanette Glider, in the Critic.
The entertaining Mr.. G. X. Chesterton
writing in the Christmas number of the
English Bookman, says: There is no such
thing as what may be called the poetic
type: that. as matter of fact, the fea-
lures of poet do not necessarily differ from
those of a stock broker" The Tribune of
. this city thinks that this is an exaggera-
ton. LAS a matter of fact" says writer
in that journal, few men not poets have
the peculiar brow OF your born poet. and
Mr. Chesterton leaves out of account the
most important feature of all, the poet s
eye, which is apt to be a very wonderful
eye indeed" 1t is not so much the eye as
the under lip, / believe, which denotes the
poet You can mention scarcely a poet
whose under lip is not thicker than that of
most men.

the first two of which were Labor" and
''Fruitfulness." and the fourth of which

the novel. in brief, is as follows: The au-
thor places the Dreyfus case in the clerico-
educational world OF France; has secular
Jewish schoolmaster accused OF horrible
crime. and, through the years which fol-
low his condemnation, follows out the logi-
cal lines of the cause celebre. although the
scenes are not laid in the army nor within
the precincts of the general staff. In read
ing the narrative, Zola discusses fully from
his own well-known point OF view the prob
lem of education in France, the reverend
ing combat between secular and church
schools and the eternal enigma OF Jewish
persecution. Incidentally the hero of the
story, Marc Froment performs the same
office for Simon. the Jewish schoolmaster,
that Zola old himself for Dreyfus. the jew

Ashland, Wis, Oct. 17.-With hard
ly enough air stirring to make a rip
pie On the surface Of Lake Superior,
the big ore-laden steamer Marquette,
sprung leak and plunged bow first
to the bottom. -Four members of the
crew who had stood by the boat i'm
her trouble had barely time to jump
overheard into the boats and join their
comrades.
With a roar like the explosion of
a magazine the imprisoned air in the
hold rushed out, tearing the decks into
kindling wood The towering main
mast was lifted bodily twenty feet in
to the air by the blast and then fell
back into the lake.
When the disaster occurred the Mar
Quette was bound for Lake Erie. At
midnight the leak was started and
steadily gained although the centre
crew was set to work at the pumps.
twenty-five miles east of Michigan
Island the situation became alarming
and ten members of the crew left the
steamer in a small boat. Four of the
survivors reached here during the
afternoon. A tug was at once sent in
search of the boat containing the 9th
er ten men of the crew, and it was
picked up off Madeline Island.

Dane County Bank Judgments.


Two judgments, aggregating SAG, 10000
besides costs of $26.58, were entered
against [. O. Brictson in the circuit court
Friday on cognovlt proceedings in favor
of B. E. Wait, receiver of the defunct
Dane County bank at Stoughton. At
torneys DIN & Butler represent the re-
ceiver.
The Dane County bank failed about
four years ago for approximately $780,
600 and has since paid about 80 cents on
the dollar. Mr.. Brictson borrowed about
$4,000 from the bank to invest in an ir
rigation enterprise at Grand Falls, Texas,
and in a ranch in Mexico. The irriga-
ton business was failure and the
ranch industry has not paid sufficiently
we'll to wipe out Mr.. Brictson's indebted
ness.-Journal.

Milwaukee Jail Break-Steel Bars
Sawed Through.
Milwaukee, Wis, Oct 20.-What
might have been a wholesale Jail de-
livery was frustrated through the
sharpness of fireman named Poelter,
whose house is located next to the
Jail. Some nights ago he noticed
strangers near jail window which
opens on an area between the two
buildings. Sunday night he saw them
again, and informed Sheriff Teet-
meyer.
The alarm was given and several
deputies armed themselves with shot
guns and drove the prisoners into their
cells. An examination wars made, and
the steel bars of the windows near
where POelter saw the strangers were
found to be sawed through and every
thing made ready. for an escape. A
careful search of the prisoners and
their cells failed to reveal any tools
with which the work could have been
done, which leads to the belief that
outsiders are implicated.

FRUITS AND FLOWERS.

From twenty-year-old mulberry
tree 21S pounds of leaves have been
picked in a year.
String beans may be obtained during
the entire summer by planting once a
month for successive supplies.
Some trees are much more unfavor-
able to the growth of plants beneath
them than are others. The worst are
the yew and the ash.
Whenever water is given to pot
plants enough should be used thor
oughly to wet the soil around the roots.
Mere sprinkling of the surface does lit
tie good.
The next time you have bouquet of
flowers to keep add very little cam
phor to the water in the vase and see
how much longer it's freshness will be
retained.
One of the most satisfactory plants
for house culture is the yellow oSalis.
1t will blossom freely if given sun and
water, and its bronze brown foliage
sets off it's pretty yellow bloom rarely.

There are some good reasons adduced
by those who favor the claims of the
columbine as national flower. The
colors of the wild varieties are red,
white and blue. The flower is purely
American, quite widespread, hardy.

perfect liberty caps" reversed they
are horns of plenty" Columbine
comes from the Latin columbia, a dove;
the peaceful derivation of the word
accords well with our national policy;
the name also recalls Columbus, the
