ONE ON THE GOVERNOR.

Gov. LaFolIette, after he had spoken
here last Wednesday evening, spent
the balance of the time from 1900
O'Clock until the North Western 2:42
train departed, in company with a
number of his worshippers. They par
took of a lunch at the Crystal cafe and
then followed talk on political mat
ters, and incidentally a few stories
were told. The governor finally told
one on himself. He was addressing a
meeting, he said, some time ago in the
southern part of the state, and among
the topics discussed was that of pri-
mary elections. He compared the
present system with the one he advo-
Gates, and incidentally remarked that
there were too many conventions held
under the present system. For instance
in presidential campaign year there
are conventions held to elect dele
gates to the county, assembly, sena-
ventions and finally the latter follow in
turn. He asked. "Who is there in this
vast audience that has time to attend all
these conventions ?" One lone individ-
ual sitting on front seat raised his hand.
Addressing his remarks to that man
the governor said, why, friend, you
certainly must be man of leisure. |
have addressed many audiences in this
busy state of ours and you are the first
man who has responded affirmatiycly
to that question. You certainly must
have great amount of idle time Oh
your hands" After the speech was
concluded one of the county committee
addressed the governor colfdentially
and asked him if he knew the man, to
which the governor replied that he did
not. why ssid the committee man,

WILD BIRDS | HAVE KNOWN.
THE sAND-sPITTINe zUKE.

THE sAND-sPIrTINe zUKE.
In days long ago.
When fisher would throw
His line in the pools of Rib River
He would hear hafsh rasping
Like something were gaSping
And trying to throw up its liver;
II would cough and then heave,
And generally leave
fright shaken party quite near it,
Who took 10 tall timber
And proceeded TO timber
His legs with an athletic spirit.
This sandpaper sound
Would echo around
With an ever increasing power.
And following ii
Fell small stones, sand and grit.
Like the rains in thunder shower.
Men thOt that the vapor
" as cutting caper
From geyser or something like that,
But this terrible thing
Was bird and the king
OF the sandbar and deep water fiat
1t had long bill
That with sand it would fill.
And then stick its head meath the water,
And thus it would walk
over sandbaF and rock
After some wary fish till 1t got her
IL would blow from its beak,
With the air in its cheek
The pebbles and sand mixed together
And strike with thnd
To the yexy hearts blood
of its victim, thru hide or thru feather.
The zuke was so formed,
Bow-legged and horned
That its vision swept both fore and aft.
And the snappy bead eyes
Would oft times arise
From its body ahead and a5aft
Its neck was SO long
That its sandpaper song
Would swing to the front or the rear.
And with head trailing southwark
1t swan to the nOrthward,
With antics so laughably queer.
The hunters now say
That the zukes flew away
That they left the Rib River forever.
But once in while
You can hear for a mile
A rasping and sandSong endeavor;
SO we all should beware.
For one Zuke is still there,
And its prey il is still e'er pursuing.
Do not with it trife,
With shotgun or rifle,
OR else therell be something big doing.

Ladies and Gentlemen :

In appearing before you fer the pur-
pose of speaking on the subject OF
Christian Science wiz say at the out
set that, in the space of a single dis
course, can only touch some of its
leading phases, and hint, as it were, at
its teachings, its aims, and its pur-
poses.
If | were here to discourse upon any
ordinary subject claiming to have
something new to present with ref
erence to it, YOU would naturally expect
me to tell you somewhat of my author
ity for so speaking, and if there was a
text book upon the subject you would
wish to know something of that text
book as well as to hear, at least briefly,
of the life and character of the author.
Acting on this assumption. beg
your attention while speak briefly Of
the Christian Science text book-for
there IS such book-as well Us of the
life and character of its author.

every sincere inquirer.
Born amid the beautiful but rugged
hills of Bow. near Concord, New
Hampshire, of sterling and strictly
religious parents, descended from 3
long line of worthy and distinguished
ancestors, Mrs Eddy was favored by
nature with advantages which fitted
her for her future career. Her early
environments were such as TO nurture
and enlarge her inherited gifts. She
was a student by nature bent and
intuition. This native trend was
strengthened by careful training in
schools and academies, as well as BY
competent private tutors, among
whom was her brother, Albert Baker, a
graduate of Dartmouth College, and 3
distinguished lawyer. although he died
when young man. Among her other

BALTIMORE, May est was another
case of an exploded phenom when Joe
Cans. the lightweight champion of the
world. met Jewey Cooke. the light
weight champion of England and
welterweight champion of South Africa,
last night before the Eureka club in
this city.
Cans made the much-touted English
man quit in the eighth round. and had
he not retired then it is very probable
that be would have been knocked out
before the round was over. Cooke was
clumsy, overweight. slow-footed. and
thoroughly incapable of meeting the

will and made him a human punching
bag.
The Englishman claimed that he broke
his hand IN the second round. and want
ed to quit early in the game. but was
forced TO fight. His only skill was dis
played in using a peculiar crouch which
protected his neck and jaw. Cans could
not penetrate this crouch. but walloped
the foreigner across the kidneys with
great vigor, and Strengthened him up.
A Poor Champion.
Cooke claims to be the lightweight
champion OF England, but although he
had been training hard ne was d middle
