Several Expedients Which May Be Re-

If your apartment is small and the

or ribbon hangers with which ones
clothes are provided BIZ the tlressmaker.
If instead they are suspended from the
wooden hangers. which may be bought
for 5 cents each. they will take up riluefl
less room. But even then the number
of gowns or cIoaks which may be dis
posed of in this wise Is limited because
Of the short syire clothes hanger in the
closet. This difficulty may be overcome
by purchasing adjustable rods such as
are sold for sash curtains Get the thin
nest possible rod and extend it length
wise as you face the closet. Fasten it
midway between the door and wall at
either end of closet.
Now adjust your clothes to the wooden
| hangers and attach these to the rod. as
one sees the cioaks and gowns on the
rack in a department store. If the closet
f1s too shallow to perTnis of hanging Ia

packed one over the other in this way
with as great economy of space as by

WISCONSIN'S RECORD.
FAITHFULLY TOLD IN READABLE
SHAPE.
Turnkey Is Charged with La Crosse
Jail De1iveries-Dog's Barking Saves
Lives-Prisoners Escape from Barron
Jai1-Buried Money Is Found.

With the arrest of M. H. Childers,
turnkey at the La Crosse county Jail,
the mystery Of the jail delivery of Earl
Trainer and Andrew Cunningham, noto-
rlous crooks, was cleared. Childers is
said by Postoffice Inspector Fraser and
other United States officials to have re-
ceived $500 from the wife of Trainer for
allowing tools to be struggled into the
Jail so prisoners could cut their way
out. Immediately after his arrest Child
ers was taken before Commissioner Har-
rlson. where he pleaded not guilty. In
spector Fraser received his first clew
from the son of Mrs. Trainer, who is
said to be a prominent business man in
a large northwestern city. Mrs. Trainer
is said to be the daughter of a leading
family of Clarksburg, w. Va, and left
her home to go with Trainer several
years ago. Her son gave Fraser state
ment in which he admitted that his
mother told him she had arranged for
the release of Trainer and Cunningham.
She said it was to cost her $500 and
that everything was fixed. Latter Fraser
was informed that Mrs. Trainer was
seen in st. Paul few days before her
husbands escape with $500 in her pos
session.

TWO SCHOOLS.
heart to school

Z put my heart to school
In the world where men grow wise.
''Go out" l said, "and learn the rule:
Come back when you win the
prize"
MY heart came back again.
"And where is the prize?" I cried.
"The rule was false, and the prize
was pain,
And the teachers name was PRIDE :
put my heart to school
In the woods where wild birds sing,
In the fields where flowers spring,
Where brooks run cool and clear,
And the blue of heaven bends near.
eco OUT said "you are only a fool,
But perhaps they can teach you
here.
"And why do you stay so long,
My heart, and where do you roam?"
The answer came with laugh and
q song,

THROUGH THE ARCTIC OCEAN.

The twenty-ffth anniversary of the
return Of the Vega was celebrated ut
Stockholm in May. The king and the
royal family were interested spectators
Of the ceremonies. The voyage Of the
Vega stands quite by itself in it's &C
con,plishment Of solid practical results.
Other voyages Of arctic exploration
have enlarged the map and added to
the scientific knowledge Of thes polar
regions. This Swedish expedition of
1882 tracked the edge Of vast country
full Of the possibilities Of future de-
1velopment
s. The Vega discovered the Northeast
Passage. and skirting the northern
shore Of Siberia, followed the coast to
the Pacific Ocean, and returned home
by the way Of the Suez Canal, thus cir
cumnavigating Europe and Asia.
The commander, Adolf Nordenskiold,
came of old viking blood. In 171O
terrible plague broke out in Finland.
An ancestor Of Nordenskiold, fearing
for the safety Of his family, hired a
ship, stocked 1t with provisions, and
placing his household on board, put out
for sea, where he remained for several
months. When the plague was over,
the Nordenskiolds returned and took
up life once more on land
The Vegas voyage was successful in
every way. 1t accomplished its pur-
pose, and no accident marred its
course. Acquaintance was made with
little-known and interesting peoples.
That the jewellers Of the stop Of the
world" are not disconnected with
themselves or their condition is made
evident by a conversation the Vegas
commander held with one of the ma
tives. Nordenskiold asked one of the
men If he did not find the foreigners
he had seen superior to himself and
his tribe.
"That is not certain" was the dig
nified reply. "You have, it is true,
more property, and you seem to- have
more power. But there are people in
your land whom you must obey. re-
ceive orders from no one."

Maud Come, whose suit for divorce
from her husband, Colonel John Mac
Bride, was recently decided in Paris,
has been known for a long time as
The Irish Joan Of Arc" because of her
earnest advocacy of the Nationalist
cause. She is of English birth, and
all her relatives are said to be antag-
onistic to Ireland's aspirations for
home rule. Her marriage to MacBride,
who was conspicuous in the Boer war,
took place in the spring of 1902. In
the trial the accusation was made that
Mrs. MacBride is subject to hallucina-
lions; that she thinks herself the rem.
carnation Of an ancient queen, and
that her spouse is the spiritual repre-
sentative Of an old Irish hero.

Dog Saves Lives of Seven People.

The barking of dog probably saved
the lives of James Maher, his wife and
two children and Dan Sullivan, his wife
and daughter in Marinette. They were
living in an old house which was on sup
ports ten feet high and went down with
a crash. The people in it had been
aroused just a few minutes before it
went down by the dog. The house was
creaking at that time and they did not
have time to leave the building before it
collapsed. They were rescued by the fire
department and neighbors. Had they
been in their beds some Of them would
surely have been killed, as the buildings
supports came up through the floors and
destroyed the beds and bedroom furni-
ture. The loss is several thousand dol
lars
