of different political lights who would

horrors and an increase of the pre-

LIKE AN UNBLAzED TRAIL.
Intricate Plea at the Bar of Justice
That Was Too Deep for
the Judge.

Soon after the late Gilman Marston. Of
New Hampshire, had been admitted to
the bar civil suit was brought TO him.
1t involved somewhat complicated ques-
ton of inheritance, says the Boston Her.
aid. But the young man, in no way
daunted, took the case, looked UP author
tiles all the way back to Julius Caesar.
and prepared an argument of a few hun
dred pages which seemed to him unan-
swerable. His only fear was that il
might be beyond the comprehension of
the court.
When his case was called Mr.. Marston
rose with inward assurance and plunged
in boldly. The Judge seemed interested
and he took heart. But at the end Of
an hour and half, in the midst of the
most intricate part OF his plea he was
panied to see what looked like lack of
attention on the part of the court.
1t was as he had feared; the Judge
was unable to appreciate the nice points
of his argument.
"Your honor" he SAID, 81 beg your par
don, but do you follow me?"
Il have so far" answered the Judge,
shifting YEARLY about in his chair, 'but
I'll say frankly that if | thought / could
find my way back, I'd quit right here"

to do with Gov La Follette's success
or, but if present indications are to
be believed Davidson will succeed. In
resigning his chair and accepting the
United States senatorship, Gov. La Fol
lette sent the following message to
the Legislatures:
"To the Honorable, the Legislature
of Wisconsin: l hereby resign the Of
flee of governor for the balance of the
term beginning the first Monday in
January, 1905, such resignation to take
effect the first Monday in January,
1906, at IL o'clock noon of that day.
ROBERT M. LA TOILETTE,
Governor.
Thus the great tension, which despite
the clearing of the clouds at the con-
vening of the special session seemed to
possess excitement-loving politicians
throughout the state, has been relieved
and the situation has unraveled itself.
Gov. La Toilette has broken into ma
tional political life and every move
which he makes as Senator La Toilette
at Washington, d. c., will be watched
with intense interest by Wisconsin peo-
pie.
