E, SAUvE, Of Iron River, was
in the city for day or two last
week. looking over his chances
for election to the office OF mum
cipal Judge of the second NUM-
cipal court Of Bayfield, county.
Mr.. Sauve met with substantial
encouragement, not only here
but in other parts of the county
which he has visited. Mr.. Sauve
is d republican and is running
against Judge W. r. Trip, a
democrat. and n. w. Barker,
who has been a justice of the
peace at Iron River, and whose
record in that respect is not al
together above question. Mr..
Barker has also been one of the
leading dem ocrat of the county
for long time, and it is said
would now like toprofessa change
of heart. The TIMES can say
nothing against Judge Trip,
BUTT would seem that it was
about time that the judiciary Of
the county was made RESPONSE
BILE for by somebody. Let the re
publicans, who control the
county, take the responsibility.
and give their support to Mr..
Sauve who is logically entitled to
their support. He has made a
competent and careful official,
and is known in all parts Of the
county. He is in every way
qualified and ought to make an
excellent Judge. He will have
many earnest supporters in
Washburn who will hope for his
success, and running as he does
as the only repu blican inthe field
ne should be elected.
THE complete triumph of Con-
gresham Babcock in the third
congressional district, ought
not to be much of a surprise to
the people of Wisconsin. Gov
ernor LaFollette, depending upon
his own personal strength in the
third district, attempted to run
a campaign against Babcock, and
met with absolute defeat. Bah
cock has made good congress
men and the people were eVi-
IDENTITY satisfied to retain his SER
vices. And then, again, instead
of rallying to the governor, they
wished to show their resentment
of outside influences and their
disapproval of such attempts at
dictation as that made by the
Governor. People of good COM
mon sense could hardly be ex-
pectedt to do otherwise than did
the voters of the third district.
Babcock was an easy winner.
The Hayward Enterprise,
started about three years ago by
w. E. Schei, suspended publ
cation last week, and the sub
scription list will likely be taken
by the Hayward Republican.
The Enterprise vigorously as
sailed local politicians, and was
instrumental in tearing the old
order of doing things in Sawyer
county to pieces. It held first
place for sensationalism. Hay
ward still has two newspapers
left, which will undoubtedly give
the town all the reading its peo-
pie may desire.

BOY TOOK 10. 900 VOLTS.
Rssuseltatsds and in Fair Way to Get


Walter Budds. . years old. had a cur
rent from an electric cable carrying
10000 volts of electricity pass through
his body recently. That he was not
killed Is considered miraculous, but the
physicians at the Hartford hospital.
where the boy is now suffering from
the effects Of the shock say that he viii
recover, says the Hartford Courant.
Young Budds started out with Johnnie
Farrell and Willie Cosgrove, young
chums of'his, to see the circus parade.
They went to Main street near the
tunnel and after waiting for some
timc without the parade's coming in
sight, they got uneasy On Albany ave
nue., just above the Main street june
ton, the Hartford Electric Light com
pany has a terminal tub through
which the cables that bring the electric
current in from the Pennington river
pass into the underground system of
the company One of the boys sug-
gested that they climb upon the roof
of the terminal tub to see if the parade
was coming down Albany avenue.
They made run for the tub. A lad
der stood in the rear of the tub, and
the tub Is built several feet above the
surface of the ground. Young Budds
was in advance of the others. He was
the first to mount the ladder and as
he climbed up the rounds he turned to
the other bows and said that he could
get to the top first The parade was
not in sight and that he might have
a better view of the surroundings he
reached from the top of the tub to
one of the cables with the heavy volt
age for the purpose Of pulling himself
onto the pole which carried the cables
down through the tub. In taking hold
of the cable he instantly connected
himself with the electric current. His
feet were jerked from beneath him,
his body became rigid and blue flames
shot out from the cables underneath
the boys hands. What appeared to
the big crowd to have been a dead
boy was brought back to life and then
the little fellow was taken to the Hart
ford hospital in an unconscious condi-
ton. He was very weak on being re-
ceived at the institution, but during
the afternoon he gained more strength
and had long sleep Both his hands
were badly burned and the index fin

teresting family, but there is an old
white cat with three kittens under the
hay NOW stairs, who spends hours
standing motionless, all but the tip
of her tail, in the tall orchard glass
and who thinks that dinner of young
robins would do her own children
much good.
There is a little yellow warbler who
built down in the pasture wood lot
and who had equally hard luck in a
different and really peculiar way.
The yellow warbler's nest was in
itself an exquisite thing. 1t was built
near the top Of some thick bushes.
about five feet from the ground. 1t
was lined with soft, silky gray MOSES
and threads of vegetable tissue and it
looked like the inside OF a spun silver
cup. It was built SO artfully that
leaves and branches hid it on all sides.
and it took hard work and good luck
to find it even after one knew it was
there. 1t was found the day it had
been completed, when the mother bird
was just ready to begin laying her
eggs
But there was another bird out that
day, sneaking through the bushes like
a pickpocket looking for a chance to
leave one Of its eggs in newly built
nest. The sneak was a cowblrd, which
never builds a nest of its own and dis
misses the whole subject of maternal
responsibility from its mind when it
has left an egg in some other birds
nest One of these big brown and
black cowbirds found the yellow warb-
ler's dainty little nest and laid one OF
its big spotted eggs there. Then it
flew back to the pasture again, and got
down on the ground among the cat
tie. with others of its sneaking kind.
Sometimes when yellow warbler
finds a cowbird's egg in its nest it
will build a false bottom over the egg
and proceed to make its nest above
it on the second floor. But this poor
warbler got no such opportunity. This
has been a cold, late spring, and the
warblers and other similar birds have
been slow in building Also there
were many cowbirds about, looking for
a chance to saddle of the Matching and

If the average small boy knew what
a hard time birds have to rear their
families under the best conditions he
would hesitate to disturb their nests.
even If there was no law to threaten
him with punishment if he did So
There was a patient pair Of robins,
for instance, who built their first nest
more than six weeks ago in a low
apple tree in the orchard Presently
there were two blue eggs in the nest.
Then came the first catastrophe. Next
morning the nest was empty On the
ground under the tree lay one of the
eggs with two holes picked in its shell.
That was the work Of big, sneaking
bluejay, If one may judge by the fact
that the same afternoon the robins
were seen chasing a scolding jay about
the orchard and that the picture Of
the jay has long been in the birds
rogue gallry.
Immediately after the destruction Of
their eggs the robins set about build
ing a second nest on another limb OF
the same tree. Tney got so far as to
have three blue eggs in this prospec-
awe cradle when a red squirrel came
down one afternoon from the oaks ad-
joining the orchard and made robins
egg omelet of what he found there.
Then third nest was built and on
that the old mother bird has now been
sitting for two weeks. Perhaps she
will succeed this time in rearing an in
