The MISSING KEY,
What Else Could Be Expected on Her
Wedding DayY .

What Else Could Be Expected on HOE
Wedding Dayr
It's beneath a woman's dignity to keep
track of keys.
A girl who has been bridesmaid four
times, and thereby out herself off from all
prospects of matrimony says, this Is what
HAPPENS at every wedding: The bride
gives minute anG particular directions
about the packing of her trunk. She know
to within tho one hundredth of an inch
the exact location Of every frill n furbe-
low and Hooks on while various members
Of the family assist in examining the trays
in and forcing the lid down. Methods OF
accomplishing this difer-sometimes 1t
closes easily and sometimes 1t ts necessary
to Jump up and down or sit on 1t. Then
the bride to be orders some n to put q
strap around 1t, but n person leaves 1t
to another until the moment for departure
arrives. At this junoture the discovery Is
made that the trunk Is not looked, the
keys are missing and everybody wonders
where the strap can be.
Twenty minutes until train time.
"Where's your trunk keyP" some one
asked the groom. "My dear, they are ask
ing for the key to your trunk. Where 10
itP'
"The key I'm some perplexity). Why
why, on my key ring, Of course; the lit
tie silver one you gave me that time; don't
you remember, dearp"
"Certainly-on the key ring" To the
anxious searchers, you'll find the trunk
key on a small, heart shaped key ring, my
wife says" replies the happy young man.
"But where Is that9" comes IN chorus.
'I'm sure I don't know" yfalters the
bride almost in tears. "Oh, never mind.
There, there; bother the trunk. What do
We care?'' says the groom.
The bride has a happy thought. George,
I have two keys to that trunk"
"Well, you're a wise little woman, IN
tones of pride from the young husband,
while the aunts and cousins say, "She has
another key"
/ "But they were both on the same key
ring" continues the bride, and the gener.
al anxiety is r%edoubled. :,
The girl who has been a bridesmaid foul
times says the first time this happened the
key turned up at the last minute inside OF
the trunk, and after that she has always
looked there the first thing and has nevsr
failed to find it.-Chicago Record.

1t Does Make o Difference.

In Munster recently a man received
three years. penal servitude for attempting
to poison his wife by administering to hei
sulphate of zinc In whisky. At Leeds q
woman was condemned to. 90 years penal
servitude for attempting to murder her hus.
band by administering poison in his food.
1t is certainly difficult to account for this
vast difference in the punishment In, two
such similar cases, and a lady correspond
emit insinuates that to the woman were
given 20 years because the judges, being
men, naturally regard the crime as more
heinous in a wife than in husband, My
own opinion, after reading the reports, Is
that the woman got no more than she de-
served, but the man a good deal less.-

Good Suggestions.

Prof. G.. F. VlebaEn was in attend
ance yesterday at the State convention
of state superintendants. He made a
very interesting report on the teach
ing OF geography in which he urged
the practice Of making vivid word
pictures for the pupils to base their
lessons upon. 1t was good principle
10 have the pupils draw outline maps
of continents and countries from mem
ory which would be of inestimable ben
eft to the child. He also suggested
the study of the globe in which cities
aud countries with certain conditions
with exports, pecularities Of the peo-
pie and historical incidents could be
associated with the lesson.

A Government Building.

IF WatertOwn is to have a federal
building in the near future, it is time
that the business men Of the city were
actively engaged in bringing the mat
ter to the attention Of our representa-
tive in congress, that an appropriation
for at least $75 900 may be asked for,
that building in keeping with the
Importance of the city and it future
growth and prospects may be erected.
Other cities no larger and many much
smaller, have government buildings
and there is no good reason why we
should not have one. It will not be
secured without an effort and to that
end, the writer would suggest that the
mayor call a mass meeting at the
council chamber and put the ball in
motion.

To Young Men.

A friend handed us the following
editorial clipped from the Milwaukee
Journal and requested that the same
be published in the Republican for the
benefit of the young men in Water
town and vicinity:
Young men are always being ad-
vised to '.rise in the world.
Which may or may not be good ad-
wise. 1t depends upon
How the young man rises.
What he rises upon.
What he rises to.
What he takes up with him.
If your idea is to rise in the world
by making money and having people
look up to you on that account it is
easy enough. Men have toiled and
eaten short dinners and denied them
selves that producers wealth may be
stored up, Go after it, Don't bother
about your conscience. Get the money.
You can rise in the world Of mammon
in this way. The only thing you need
care about is how you keep out of the
penitentiary.
If you want to go up like mar,
however, put some foundation besides
dollars under you. One of our poets
has it this way: Rise on stepping
stones of your dead self to better
things" That means you are to put
all low things under your feet. When
you rise that way you go up safely.
What will you rise to? To some
thing worth while. And one way to
define ideals is to say that they are
| what your mother wants you to be.
When men 60 up to ideals they are the
light of the world Make no mistake
You can do the world no better service
! than TO give it an example of noble
| life. 1t is worth much to have men
| look up to you in that way.
| And furthermore
If you would rise in the world in
this way. you must help the world to
its feet also. You must give lift to
your fellows. You are like the Alpine
climbers. You are tied to your fell
lows. Ii you go up, you must draw
them up to you; if they go down you
will 60 with them away. And il you
do not help them up, they will pull
You down.
Get up in the world? Yes.
But get up in the right way; rise on
character; rise to the best; and do not
try to get up alone and seltishly, OF
you will fail. -

The Man for the Office.

Our democratic friends are already
engaged in arranging state ticket for
the sta te election next year. 1t will
be necessary for that party to nomin-
ate a strong. clean ticket which will
commend itself to the voters. While
the writer has no right TO butt in, he
canrot resist the temptation to cal, the
attention OF the leaders to the fact
that there is p man residing-in the
city of Watei.town who would make an
IDEAL attorney y-geueral and would give
strength to the ticket. Reference is
made to Mr. Joseph E. Davies. He is
good lawyer. an eloquent speaker.
able, clean and popular. Mr.. Davis is
a product Of Wisconsin, graduate of
our State University and has the rare
faculty Of making and retaining friends.
If men aud principle are to obtain in
the next political campaign in this
state, his party will surely make Mr..
Davies its candidate for attorney gen.
eral.
