arm and led him silent and unresisting
to a sofa. Then, as he seemed unde-
cided whether to remain standing OF
to sit, she gently pushed him down and
seated herself by him, still keeping
her face averted. Half mechanically
he raised one hand and touched her
face; and she shrank away.

"why IS ycur face coyered?"
She sp.ang up and quickly crossed

He half arose, seemed to grope
around with his hand, then fell back
again.
"You-you have ceased to care for
me?"
"No! Never! But"
"Ah! it is the changed" he said
quickly. Forgive me, l was wrong.

A remarkable example of the power
Of mimiery possessed by some persons.
but altogether lacking in others. was
furnished by the late Prof. Roberts
Austen, of England. His friend, Prof.
I. E. Thorpe, recalls many interesting
instances of oberts-Austen's singular
gift, which was purposely exercised
only occasionally for the entertain
ment Of his scientific ~eonfreres at a
club meeting. But what lends special
interest to the case was the fact that
Roberts-Austen frequently exercised
his power without being aware of It.
Il have heard him, to my terror" says
Prof. Thorpe, in the course of a con
~versation gradually copy the tones and
infections Of a mans voice, and have
seen him reproduce his manner to his
very face" In such cases there was
no consciousness Of what was being
done In the mind Of the mimic, or on
the part Of the person initiated, and
Prof. Thorpe believes the origin Of the
unintended mimicry was sympathy
alone-Youth's Companion.

With sudden desperation she went
close to him and tore the handkerchief
from her face.
"Look!" she cried, "lookl My
beauty is gone-all gone-forever!
My face is disfgured for life! Howl
you do not shrink from me? Oh, my
Godi"
Instead Of the shrinking she had ex-
peeted, instead of the words her mind
had framed, his arm had slipped
around her waist, he was drawing her
closely to him, and she heard him say:
"What does it matter if you love
me? What is your face, Agnes? 1t is
not for your face l have loved you;
and if it was I cannot see it! Look
look close at me-into my eyes-here
where the bullet struck I am blind!
But you-you-will you cling to a
helpless MANI"
With a sharp cry she turned and
looked into his eyes and saw in a fash
that the light had gone out of them
forever. Then passionately she threw
her arms around his neck, pressed a
hot kiss upon his lips and bent his
head down upon her bosom, heaving
ike the waves of the sea.

BROWNLOW ENDORSED.
Secretary of National Good Roads
Association in Favor of House
Bill 1850.

In q recent communication to Con-
gresham Brownlow, Mr.. r. w. Rich
ardson, secretary of the National Good
Roads association, supports the
Brownlow bill in the following Ian
guage:
II have carefully read a copy of
your bill, being HI. r. 1850, creating a
bureau of public roads in the depart
ment of agriculture, and providing for
a system of national, state and local
cooperation in highway improvement.
I desire to commend you for your in
itiative in this most important and
necessary public Improvement. 1t
seems passing strange that the pe0-
pie of the United States who a,e so
progressive in every other avenue of
commercial and industrial develop
ment should so continuously neglect
to, give even reasonable considera ton
to the public roads. 1t is safe to es-
innate that more than 90 per cent. of
the area of the states of the union is
without improved roads, enduring al
most impossible mud in winter and in
sufferable dust in summer, old ard an
tiquated wasteful methods still in
vogue in attempted road making and
repairs, hundreds of thousands of dol
lars wasted each year in these meth
DDS to be repeated again next year, and
all this without any change from the
road conditions our fathers left US.
except, in the majority of cases, for
the worst.
National, state and local coope ra-
ton is the modern and sure method of
equalizing the burden of cost, Civ
ing proper supervision and restriction,
and securing an adequate system of
improved highways. The postal, ed
ucational, military and economic in
terests of the general government
justify it's active interest in this be-
half.
"You are to be heartily commended
for your effort. If you succeed YOU
will have reared to your name an ever
lasting monument in the ever-growing
appreciation of the people. Our asso-
citation stands ready to give you every
aid possible" ~

catch. If the gate is properly hung this
arrangement will not be needed; but
it is difficult to hang one so it will not
sag. The same effect may be obtained
by other devices, which will be given if
desired.

With the passing of Lent, the sea-

once more drops into the background
and thoughts turn eagerly to the joys
of this world and to the delights, the
self-indulgences and the pleasures of
the earth. Attired in her bewildering
Easter bonnet, Miss Society trips gaily
to the center of the stage where she
holds almost undisputed sway for the
entire year with the exception of the
forty longest days in the three humid

eased by six weeks ofabstinence from
the follies and frivolities of this life
she puts aside the demure mood of
meditation and turns with renewed
zest to plans for prospective parties

E.Ray Stephens, a Madison lawyer
and an ardent LaFollette supporter,
has been appointed by the governor to
be circuit judge of the 9Th judicial cir
cult to succeed Judge Siebecker, who
recently assembled to the supreme
bench. Judge Stephens is but thirty
two years old. There were a mum Der
of able attorneys candidates for the
place, possessed with more experience
and far better qualified for the task
but their candidacy was ignored by the
executive. The appointment is not
satisfactory to the bar nor the people
of that district, which embraces Dane,
Sank and Columbia counties.

RELIABLE FARM GATE
Although 1t Is Splendid Device. It's
Inventor Has Concluded Not to
Patent 1t.

Herewith are some cuts illustrating a
latch which the writer invented and
has, been using for several years, and
found very handy, as it is sure to catch
if given half a chance, and be sure to
hold. There is no long snout stretch
ing out to catch in your stirrup or har-
ness as you pass through with a horse,
and wish to open only wide enough to
get through conveniently. 1t is the
very thing where you wish to put a
lever on top to enable one to open it
from a horse and ride through. If the
gate is so hung that it will fall shut,
you can throw it wide open, ride
through and go ahead with the full as
surance that it will be shut and secure
ly fastened before you are ten steps

Girls as Berry Pfckers.

J. L. Herbst, strawberry grower
of Wisconsin, tells about his methods
of berry picking. He says that one of
his girl pickers picked 15S quarts in
one day. The ordinary amount of a
days picking with him is. 80 quarts per
picker in a day of five hours. Mr.
Herbst was asked why he preferred
girls to boys as berry pickers and re-
piled: eve prefer girls for picking
because they will stand the picking
much better; they are not so talka tive;
they do not get tired and want to go,
and as 6 rule will attend to business
a good deal better than boys will"
