The TE0Sfoysl Girl.

When she is twelve or fourteen the
Moslem girl comes to know she is beau
tiful, though she does not marry at the
early age of the Hindoo girl. She
counts the saris' and Cholis and signs
for fringes of pearls and modern dia-
mond earrings she sees the friends Of
her mother wear. In her rose colored
veil and gold spots she is the prettiest
picture you ever saw. With gaZelle
eyes and Asiatic grace she is full Of ar
dor and naivete at the same time. She
runs like a fawn at the approach of a
stranger, but when unobserved her
laughter rings through the house, and
the instructive coquetry of her smiles
shows that the purdah is a necessity

/ The new ruling of the pension bureau
does not seem to be fully understood by
all who are interested. 1t is not new
law in any sense of the word but merely
a new Interpretation of the provisions of
the pension act of June ~, 1890. That
act provided that ex-soldiers who had
become disabled since the war through
no fault of their own, so as not to have
the ability to earn living by manual
labor should be entitled to pension of
Sc, So, $40 Or S12 a month, depending on
the extent of the disability. The only
thing necessary to prove was 80 days of
service an honorable discharge and dis
qualification for manual labor. The new
ruling assumes that the man who has
reached 81 years of age is so disqualified
as to entitle him TO Sc per month and
all ne needs to prove in this respect is
his age. At IS he is entitled to So, at 81
to $40, and at 70 to Sl2. Application
should he made direct to the commits
sioner of pensions at Washington or to
any pension solicitor for proper blanks
in case one wishes to apply for an age
pension. Hon. E. D. Coe.

Electric Traction For Farmers

Less than ten years ago Iowa farmers
hauled their crops in wagons, and drove
their livestock over rough roads to rail-
way stations, often eight or ten miles
from their farms. Today, trolley freight
and stock cars stop almost at barn doors
and hurry the freight on to railways or
to markets. In Iowa, now there are
more than 1000 miles Of trolley lines con-
Meeting small towns and crossing large
farms New lines are being built, and
what is happening in Iowa is happening
in Wisconsin, Ohio and elsewhere.
The development of electric traction
power has not reached the point where
it is profitable to operate large system.
In Iowa there are many small lines,
started originally to connect pleasure
parks in the country with the cities. The
lines spread to productive agricultural
districts. The trolley was within walk
ing distance of the farmers house. When
freight rates were advanced the farmers
turned to the electric roads as an outlet
to other railroads. The carrying rates
Oh the electric lines we're less than the
steam railroads. The electric traction
lines began to extend their roads. One
result is that new trolley line from
Iowa City to Cedar Rapids has been
built to carry heavy stock and grain
cars Roads like this benefit the whole
farming community. The price OF con-
tiguous land is advanced, new fences
and barns are built. and new country
towns are started all along the line.
Every point on the electric line can be
a station because of the ease with which
electric cars are stopped. Worlds Work.

MESSAGES are accepted now by the
Western Union Telegraph Co. for trans
mission to incoming and outgoing steam
ers of the following lines American,
French, Atlantic Transport, Hamburg
American, Cunard, North German Lloyd
and Red Star lines So accordingly, a
man may transact business on board ali
ocean line as readily as on land. Tele-
graphic rates are reasonable considering
everything. Ten words to New York
cost 50 cents; from New York to boat,
$40, with twelve cents for each addi-
tional word. It is to be seen therefore
that the world is not so big that any
man may lose himself in it. The Mar
conf system will overtake him.

THE total Individual cost to the seve

The total individual cost to the seven
candidates for governor during the re-
cent spirited contest which was carried
en- in illinois is put at 1868 or an av-
erage of about $685. for each one. And
it is further claimed that even these fig
ures are under rather than over actual
facts Bat then politics is an expensive
game no matter how it is played, and
even our own Governor LaFollette has
been forced to cultivate the friendship
of a number of very wealthy men Ito say

The state supreme court in recent
decision determined that notes, mort
cages and other similar evidences of
wealth are property that the Legislature
has power to prescribe the manner of
their taxation and that there is no in
fringement on the federal constitution in
the present Wisconsin laws, either
through lack of uniformity of taxation,
double taxation or the denial of equal
protection of the law to any property or
class of property. The test case came
from the city of Merrill. R. G. Kingsley
bringing suit to recover back 49,,
which he had paid under protest on &C
count of an assessment on certain notes,
mortgages and other evidences of wealth.
He maintained that the statute under
which the tax was assessed and collected
was unconstitutional and void. The
opinion of the supreme court was writ
ten by Chief Justice Cassidy. The opin
ion goes into some length of argument
showing that the notes and mortgages
in question were property within the
meaning of the statute and that they
were properly assessed and taxed. The
cain had been made that in the statute
the debts from solvent creditors were
taxed and the debts Of insolvent credi
tors were not taxed, and that this inclu
sion and exclusion Of different classes or
kinds Of property constituted non-uni
form taxation and therefore violated the
constitution. The court holds that this
provision Of the constitution is not vic
lated in the statute in dispute, adding
''if the statute is invalid on the ground
suggested, then we have never had val
id statute on this subject in this state.

Visitors to China are particularly
struck by the numbers Of pairs Of
boots hung in separate wooden cages
in the archway Of the main west gate

parting magistrate whose rule has
been popular to leave pair of old
boots for suspension in q prominent
place as hint to his successor to fol

able honor to be asked to leave these
boots. and the ruled make the request

Game Wardens Hired by the Hour.

A correspondent of the Milwaukee
News from Madison says: Evidently the
large force of regular game wardens was
not sufficient prior to the Republican
caucuses to see that protected game in
Wisconsin was not slaughtered. Vouch-
ers are on file 10 the office of the secre-
tary of state showing that new species
of game warden entered the field prior
TO the Republican caucuses who were
paid 80 cents an hour for their services
Two warrants for the payment of two of
these protectors of Wisconsin game have
been issued by the state department.
They were to N. E. Wagner and Paul A.
Reynolds. both it is said residing in Dane
county, and both of whom put in hun
-dred hours each month for three months
in looking after Wisconsin game prior to
the Dane county caucuses. AS a result
each of the men was able to collect 500
in the three months prior to June l. The
great necessity Of protecting Wisconsin
game has been so amply demonstrated
the past year that these extra game
wardens are no surprise. 1t is strange,
however, that Dane county should have
heen the place selected for the addi-
tional game wardens when it is remem.
bered how many Of the regular game
wardens found time there prior to the
Dane county caucuses to give their time
to political work.
La Toilette leaders out here are hav
ing a good deal Of trouble satisfying the
game wardens that they will not be leg
islated out of office by the next legisla
ture The game wardens are worried
over the continued agitation in all parts
of the state for the abolition of the pres
-ent game wardens force, and the substi
tuition in their place of county wardens
where they are needed. The warden!
are thoroughly aware that public senti
ment is very much against their voca
ton, and they are afraid that there vii
be such demand made on the legisla
ture for the abolition of the department
that it will have to be needed. For thi
reason they see visions of their liveli
hoods passing away from them.

poor sens

THE United States supreme court has
confirmed the decision of the lower courts
declaring constitutional the national
oleo law which taxes oleo colored like
butter. The vote was decisive, 6 to 3.
This puts an end to the long drawn out
fight and dairymen are to be congratu-
lated. Oleo manufacturers have made
every possible attempt to evade the law,
carrying it from court to court, hoping
to find some flaw. Farmers can now
turn their attention to other needed ma
tiOnal legislation.
