The Red Sea.

Here is an interesting theory: What
made the Red sea red? The blood Of
locusts. Read few lines from Ex-
odus: And the lOcuSts went up over
all the land Of Egypt and rested in all
the coasts of Egypt; very grievous
were they. Before them there were no
such locusts as they. neither after
them shall be such. For they covered
the face of the whole earth. so that the
land was darkened. And the Lord
turned mighty strong west wind.
which took the locusts and cast them
into the Red sea. There remained not
ono locust in all the coasts of Egypt"
The Red sea today is no more red than
any other sea. It's reddening was tenn

By THE death of the Hay Herran Pan
anna canal treaty, this great project IS
subject to another long delay. The de-
lay is exasperating but not fatal. Public
works of this kind are not completed in
b day, any more than Rome was built in
that time. When one remembers the
magnitude Of this project, and recalls
how long it has taken to consummate
other enterprises of less size, and nearer
home with conditions more favorable,
the time that has been taken, and will
yet be consumed, on the Panama canal
does not seem any too great. So far as
this nation is concerned, there has been
inevitable delay Meanwhile, twosthings
are morally certain: l. That an Isthmain
canal will be built; and, 2. That the
United%States will build it.

The third season of the Wisconsin
Sugar Co. at Menomonie Falls where the
beets raised in this locality will be
shipped, begins on the 9th day of Octo-
Der, when the mighty wheels of the big
factory will turn for the first time since
last year. About 200 or more men will
be employed for the coming season.
Beets have already begun to arrive by
the wagon and train loads. From all
reports this will be a banner year for the
beet company and all farmers planting
beets will make good money. Bid
weather is not nearly so harmful to
beets as it is to corn, potatoes, etc.

HE'LL have to hurry or the trust
buster" will not be needed, for the big
over capitalized concerns are commenc.
ing to burst from their own weight. The
Consolidated Lake Superior Co. with an
enormous amount of S117,OOO,OO0 on pa
per has collapsed with not enough money
to buy hay for it's horses. The country
is full of wind-swolIen corporations that
are due to explode as soon as the specu-
lative fever subsidies.

Or ALL the governors that Wisconsin
has had, LaFollette il the only one who
has not always spoken we'll rather than
i'll of the state, both at home and abroad.
The people of Wisconsin have expended
hundreds of thousands of dollars in ad
vertising the opportunities which the
state offers to desirable settlers from the
east and from the better sections of Flu
rope. Maps pamphlets, reports and
other literature have been sent out by
the ton, giving information as to the ad
vantageous features of our state, it's good
soil it's mines and it's timber, and espec-
tally as to the high character Of its peo-
pie. It's economical, efficient govern
4nent has been extolled, and the harmo-
NOUS relations which exist between the
different elements that makes up it's
business world have been especially COM
mended. Not only have all these been
set forth on the printed page but men of
suitable qualification have been en-
ployed at large salaries to spend months
at the seaboard, selecting and engaging
the better class Of immigrants for the
farms and mills and mines of Wisconsin.
The expense Of all this has been borne
in part by the general public, being paid
out of the state, treasury in pursuance OF
Legislative enactments; but the greater
portion has come from the contributions
of individuals and business concerns and
municipalities. And the effort to divert
to our state reasonable share of the
great tide of population flowing into the
country and moving from one section to
another, has been measurably success
full. The more thickly settled portions
have been relieved in part from the ex-
IRENE stress caused by a shortage of help
on the farm, and the newer regions at
the north have enjoyed a real benefit in
! the rapid settlement of sections whose
great resources have only recently been
revealed to the public. But when these
most desirable conditions seem to be in
the way of full establishment, and Wis
consin is promised benefit commensur-
ate with that which is enriching Mani
toba and the states west of the Missis-
,sippi, our Governor leaves the Cartel
and goes to the far east and the far west
and through our own borders, shaking
the yellow flag OF warning Whitewater
Register.

Life is an age to the miserable, s
moment to the happy.-Bacon.

For moment the dog hesitated. The old weasel, though not one-tenth his own size, looked decidedly tough, and he wasn't quite sure whether he wanted to tackle him or not. But he was game. and in second or two he advanced and tried to catch the weasel by the shoul- ders. The weasel didn't wait to be caught. Instead he sprang straight into the dogs face, struck his teeth into his nose, and held on like pair of dentists forceps. The dog howled with pain and swung the little brown devil round and round in the air several times before he could shake him of. and while he was doing that our own weasel attacked him in the rear. The weasel had some very good points Courage and auda- city were two of them, but perhaps best of all was family affection and loyalty. When he saw his father in danger he did not hesitate an instant, but went right to work. In the meanwhile the other five, finding that they could not get away, had assumed the offensive and were dancing around the man, snarling and showing their teeth in angry defiance, and making little leaps toward his face. as if they would like nothing better than to take him by the throat if only they could reach high enough. He laid about him with stick which he had picked up out of doors. and, after sharp fight he and the dog managed to kill the father and mother and four of the children. though they got bites and scratches in doing it
 Our own weasel was now the only one left. and as the man struck at him again, he lodged the club, made a spring, and seized the forefinger of the trapper's right hand. The man strengthened up with an oath. and gave his arm such swing that the needle like teeth tore through the flesh, and the weasel went flying across the room and landed on the top Of the log wall. just under the roof. For a second he lay still, stunned and dazed. Then he saw little hole beside him, and beyond it the sunlight and the river. It was very small hole and very tight fit, but he turned his head sidewise and wriggled through, and the trapper never saw him again. William Davenport Hubert in July Success.

THE PARK FISH BIT WELL.

More Pickerel Were Caught Than Any
 Other variety-One of the Sights of
 Providence. s
 It was familiar sight that greeted the visitor who entered Roger Will Hams Park yesterday, but sight that it will take time for the observer to associate permanently with the park. It belonged rather to the landscape of some remote section of western Rhode Island. On the lakes were the boats containing eager fishermen, with an oc- casional two-pounder flashing in the air at the end of a bambo pole and fishing line. Along the road just ahead of the visitor, across the bridge, where many, of Sunday, are accustomed to stand and display their finery, walked a youth whose appearance spoke significantly of the new era at the park. A dishevelled mass of red hair stuck out from beneath big, broad brimmed straw hat. The blue overalls that he wore upon a slender frame lacked several inches of reaching the tops of his shoes, while over his shoulder and extending up almost per- pendicularly, was his chief possession for the time being, lengthy fishing pole. <|.+.
 This youth was 'goin' fishin, and so were dozens of his elders yesterday. Most of 'em weren't dressed to kill only to kill fish, and they had the best oppor- tunity in the world to do that. Fish are like human beings in some respects. They get fat and lazy when there aren't and dangers around, and are an easy mark. The fish in the park lakes have been living in security for so long that they are biting as if their lives depend- ed on it, and most of those who went out yesterday caught the full limit of weight allowed by the park regulations in very short time.

THE WONDERFUL COURAGE OF A
 WEASEL. .e...

Seven little brown-and-wh weasels went rushing round and round the one- room house looking for a way of escape
 but finding none. Suddenly rank odor filled the cabin, as the old father weasel was driven into @, corner and held at bay by the dog, for he had a weapon very much like that of skunk,
 though not quite so formidable. Not content, however, with that rather in tangible style of warfare, he rose on his hind legs, showed his teeth, squealed with anger and defiance, and said, as plainly as words could say it: Come on. Pitch right in. Dast you to- His fur was on end, his ears lay back flat upon his head, and his jaws were open and ready for business. & ;s. ;a 2.
