An Interesting chapter ON the evolution
OF the horse was presented to the As
sembiy Judiciary committee when the
automobile bin was under consideration.
1t was maintained that in the years
gone by the horse had not reached the
advanced stage of intelligence with which
1t is endowed at the present time and so
1t was necessary TO take extreme pre-
caution not to excite its temper by any
thing tending to induce fright. The
horse has become so educated, it q
claimed, that the approach of even the
most monstrous appartion is necessary
TO be accompanied by great speed and
much noise and devoid of anything and
everything with any semblance of man
to cause animals to become frightened.
II was further asserted that so long as
any appsrition or fearful object APP
preached slowly, in the event that the
horse saw man connected with it,
there would be no fear because of the
association of the man. Irrespective of
the verify Of these statements some
amusing incidents were related of the
time when it was supposed to be Noes
sary to go to extremes in order to avoid
frightening horses. One of those refer
red TO az old dummy line that operated
on public street twenty years ago. The
appearance Of the unsightly horselesS
monsters created havoc among the horses
and in order to avoid runaways the man
agement secured a stuffed horse which it
attached TO shafts extending in front cf
the motor cars. The stuffed horse. how
ever, created more of panic than the
motor ears did and they were not used
long. The appearance of the locomotive,
the electric car and the bicycle it VAS
claimed had so nerved the horses to
mOnstrous sights and so educated them
that there vas not the danger of driv-
ing with the horseless wagons in the
country as the legislators, or at least
some of them, seemed to think. Some cf
the farmer members make free to say
however, that they are willing to accord
certain superior intelligence TO the city
horse, so far as monstrosities are con
eerned, occasioned merely by custom, and
they voice the view that it will be a
long time before the country horses get
used to the automobiles to the extent
that it will be safe to drive them up to
rapidly moving machine and until that
time comes chauffeurs cannot be made
to exercise too great caution ON the coun-
try roads.

Sunny Bank Farm
FLOYD LIVINGSTON


IN the orchard, where the grass of an
early spring was just starting into life,
they lay shattered in a hundred pieces.
Would, oh, would that she, the life of
little more than year, could thus easily
have broken the habits Of him she loved
better than her life, But it could not
be; and all through the bright spring
days she dropped, and faded, and strug-
gled hard to keep from me the fatal
truth.
At last Aunt Charlotte wrote to me,
asking to be assured of her sons safety
and then poor Anna begged me not to tell
that the wine cup was his companion at
morn, his solace at noon, and his COM
fort at night Yielding to her entreaties,
answered evasively; and thus the shock,
wheT it came to that mothers heart, was
harder far to bear, from the perfect Sc
curity she had felt. At Sunny Bank, too,
they little dreamed how their absent
daughter wept and prayed over her fallen
husband, who, day after day, made rapid
strides down the road to death.

Men suffered sadly in the comparisons
that were presented by the women in adj
vocating the woman suffrage measure be-
fore the joint committees. 1t was a
grand opportunity for the women to get
even with the many ind. entities they feel
they have been subjected to by legisla-
tors and the opportunity to get even was
too strong to resist. One fair speaker
pointed out the woman was selected to
typify all that was good and pure and
beautiful There were the three graces;
nearly every art and science and every
symbol of progressiveness is made to
take the form of women; there are wom-
en- in marble and in bronze about the
capitol and capitol grounds, signifying
WiSconsin's progressiveness, and on top
of it all, woman was depicted on every
coin of value, every coin of silver and
gold, while it was equally true that the
only coins on which men were depicted
were coins of copper and brass. Then
neatly turning the comparison into IN ar
gument, it was contended that IN the
eternal fitness of things men had deem
ed it wise to so recognize the superb
ority of women but by strange inconsist-
ency, while yielding all that was good
and true to women, the men still wished
to hold them aloof and not give them
the right to vote. All of which caused
one cynical mind to murmur that the
cause for the inconsistency, the reason
for keeping women afar off from the bal
lot and politics. was that they might be
retained in their innocence and purity;
that they might serve to remain as the
Implication OF the ideal and the unattain-
able in politics and to retain for them
selves those things that render them the
more attractive by the refreshing con
trast with man.

An effort to reconsider thd vote by

was the first business taken tip by the
Assembly Friday morning. Tae motion

leave of absence came in food. Speak
er Lenroot announced that no leaves

the Assembly. A dozen members secur-
cd leave Of absence in this manner and
finally Mr.. BeL son moved that leave of
absence DE granted to all members from

of order and changed TO a motion that
leave of absence be granted all members
absent from that session. This was car
ried-40 to 81. The chief clerk read

meister it was resolved TO adjourn, until

bill sent over from the Assembly caused
a little stir between Senators Eaton ANA
Bird. The president referred the bin 10

ator Eaton asked for reference to his

it has been impossible for the Democrats
to unite on any proposition. Quite a
number of caucuses were held earlier in

the Democrats of the two branches, in

reading in the Assembly more on ae-
count Of the fact that members consid-
cred the clause relative to the terms that
apprentices shall serve was too long,
more than anything else. They we're I'M
able to accept the view that there is any
thing in the barbering business which re-
qr;res an apprenticeship Of three years
and so sought TO amend it by cutting
down the term to one yesr. The argu-
ment Of many of the members was that
il was possible for a psrson to learn
barberiag in six months. but they were
willing to require a course Of one year,
and because the amendment failed to
carry they joined with tie enemies Of

surprising feature was that the vote on
which a third reading was refused was
not greater than it was, 81 to Al.
