WOLF KILLED AT LAST.
The Cause of Much Trouble Now
Explained.

The neighborhood around the
Fisher school house has been much
annoyed since last fall. when II was
reported that a wild wolf had been
seen in that section. Parties from
Loyelaceyille joined the neighbors
in regular Teddy Roosevelt hunt
for the animal. Shotguns, rifles,
pistols, corn knives axes. pitch-forks
and various other old weapons, that
hadn't seen daylight since the war,
were resurrected, and the party start
ed out. All of them saw the wolf,
some in a field, some in the woods,
and some saw II at the same time,
although they were miles part. He
was shot at, struck with an ak. and
in various ways crippled, but never
captured. The excitement had died
out, and nothing more was heard
about the wolf, until ftw days ago
ii made it's appearance at the front
gate of John Hester. Mrs. Hester
saw It first and gave Comanche
yell. that started the dogs and chill
dren to burking /and yelling, which
brought Mr. Hester from the field.
He and his wife grabbed the children
and called the dogs and lit out for

Amos Reckman and John Price of the
danger, who rang the farm bell and
blew the horn until they had aroused

volatile little mind the necessity of
concealing its vCracious appetite and
eating with dignified Indifference. A
child may be restrained by the pres
ence of older people from behaving in
a manner suggestive of primitive man,
but as soon as its elders are out of
sight 1t will relapse into less mannerly
and more rapid methods of consuming
food.
If possible, when correcting a child
for some slight breach of etiquette, ex-
plain the reason for the form or GUS
tom, in order TO make a deeper i'm
preston. For instance, the original
reason why a spoon should not be left
in a tea or coffee cup is because it en-
dangers the equilibrium of the cup. A
child should be permitted to leave the
table after dessert is finished, but
never without saying: May | be eX-
cused?" Minors grow inexpressibly
weary of their elders after-dinner talk,
and to remain quiet during half an
hour of it would weary the soul of &
martyr. and guests are often martyrs
in disguise.
In concluding, let me emphasize
this: Considerations of size and age
of children's varying dispositions and
the restlessness and heedlessnes of
childhood should temper the discipline
of the children's table.

THE AFTERNOON CALLER.
What to Do and What Not to Do When
Acting This Part in the
Social Life.

An afternoon call must be a short
and yet not a hurried one
Don't enter the house saying that
you have not a minute, and don't leave
it declaring that you must hurry on to
another friend, or you give an idea
that your visit has been paid grudg-
ingly.
Don't monopolize the conversation.
Your hostess likes to retail her own
news, to air her own grievances, to
discuss mutual friends from her own
point of view. You may be the most
amusing person present, but your very
brilliancy gives others the desire to
shine also, and courtesy demands that
you should give them their opportun-
ity.
Above all. don't talk of yourself.
"I" is a letter of the alphabet to be
omitted as much as possible. Who
does not know the bore who tells you
of his health, his family, his plans, till
you sigh a sigh of unutterable relief
when he at length takes his depart
ure?
Don't utter in an audible aside to
your companion: Thank heaven they
are out!" A whisper is fraught with
danger, and may possibly be retailed
from one person to another until it
reaches the mistress Of the house.

"WITTENBERC ExPRESS."
Droll Conveyance Bearing That Dig
niied Name in the Ger
man Town.

Not many years ago, on the high
roads about Wittenburg, in Germany,
travellers frequently met an old woman
trudging slowly along, pushing before
her a light wheelbarrow loaded with
bundles and parcels, writes Gerrish Ell
dredge. in Queer Carriers" in st. Mich
olas. The old woman was at least 60,
but she was so cheerful and uncomplain-
ing that the people had no hesitation in
employing her. She had many knick-
nacks and parcels to carry to and from
the city, into which, three or four times
a week. she pushed her barrow, which
folks called the "Wittenberg express"
This plucky old woman walked with her
express w~heelbarrow at least ten miles
each trip, and her earnings, a small fee
for each parcel, served to support her.
self and her two invalid daughters,
who could do only a little sewing. The
old woman would allow no one to pity
her; she liked the work, she said, and
was only sorry that as she grew older
she could not make such frequent trips
for her earnings were helping herself
and her children.

Character Study Of the Son.
The friend quoted above says Of
Gordon Bigelow, the son:
LAS a young man he sowed his wild
oats and he sowed them thick and
plentiful, but though the oats were
wild they were clean. there was no
rust on them. The fathers heart bled,
but it never hardened against his boy
Mayhap, as is the way with hearts, it
softened a bit with the bleeding. As
often as the boy would fall the father
would start him with a clean slate.
He had done it for other boys. Could
he do less for his own? And the boy
became a man and put his boyish ways
behind him, but he was still masterf1ll.
still the leader of the gang. He took
dips into the stock market and won.
HE invested in manufacturing en-.
terprises, and won. He bought wheat,
and won. The week before the crash
in Milwaukee they talked of Gordon
Bigelow as a broker who had arrived.
Through it all the father had
helped him, but he had not guided.
The boy was not that sort. He worked
on his own initiative. The father saw
his successes, his level judgment, his
foresight, his almost intuitive knowl-
edge of the game. He loved the boy
this boy who had made his heart bleed,
and he was growing proud of him."
Invested in Many Projects.
"Bigelow and his father put their
money into everything that looked as
if it had a chance of success" said a
board of trade man. They backed one

money on it. They handled municipal
contracts, built water works and cleo
trio roads. Anybody who needed
money for one kind of enterprise or
another could go to the Bigelows and
get a start if he could make the slight
est showing"

AN AFTERNOON RECEPTION
Some Suggestions as to the Graceful
Poise That Should Be Main
tanned in Standing.

The large afternoon functions that
are fashionable at present require that
a guest shall stand most of the time,
and an awkward woman is never more
at a loss than when standing. Prac.
tlce at home to prepare yourself for
this emergency. Stand with your back
to the wall, touching it with your
heels. Now force the knees back
against the wall, bringing as much of
it in contact as possible. Let the
shoulders be pressed against it. This
brings the chest up and gives erect.
ness to the whole body. But this
would be a stiff position if you were
conversing over teacups. Keep the
heels in position, hold the chest up
and body erect, while you sway slight
ly forward from the wall, shifting the
weight from the heels to the balls of
the feet. You now find yourself in a
graceful and comfortable standing po-
sition. The arms should swing easily
at the sides. Stand for five minutes
until the position becomes natural to
you. When standing during a con-
versation it would be awkward to keep
the hands dangling; let them fall,
clasped, before you, or hold some ar
ticle. But maintain the position which
your practice teaches you. Avoid the
mannish habit of folding the arms and
the provincial habit of resting the
hands on the hips.
In sitting avoid ervou tension.
Relax. If you obey this law your
position is pretty sure to be graceful.
The hands may rest in the lap, on the
arms of the chair. one of them may
be on the back of the chair; in any
case, they must not clasp anything
tightly as if you were trying to hold
yourself firmly in the chair.
Sit well back in the chair, thus
avoiding the bad habit of sitting on
the spine. You can lean back far
enough for grace if you are chatting;
if you are busy, you will avoid fatigue.
When sewing or writing you should be
upright with high chest as much as
when standing, and what leaning is to
be done should be done from the hips.
The shoulders must not bend.

CHlLD'S TABLE MANNERS.
Parents Should Carefully Train Child
in All the Niceties, But Release
1t from Long Sittings.

AS soon as a child is old enough to
handle a knife and fork he is capable
of doing it correctly, and should be
taught that there is only one proper
way of using these implements. The
knife vas not intended to stab at ones
food with, nor should it be used to
pile meat or vegetables on the back of
the unoffending fork. The knife is al
ways held in the right hand and is used
to cut meat and other foods as require
cutting.
When the knife is laid by it should
not be placed on the table nor with
the tip Of the blade resting on the
plate and the handle on the table. 1t
should be laid on the plate.
Children should hold the fork in
the right hand, and not in the French
manner, which permits of eating with
the fork held in the left hand while
the knife is in use in the right hand.
A child is often reprimanded for
seeming greediness, and it is probably
the hardest point to impress upon its

day as slowly but surely the story has
come out of one of the greatest bank
steals of the age? Is it any wonder
that on every hand one hears the ques-
lions gasped in amazement: How did
it happen? How could he do it?
Where did the money go to?
Others Involved.
And as we ask the questions we are
reminded that Banker Bigelow is not
the only one who is playing a part In
this startling drama. On the stage
with him there appears at least one
OF the bank clerks, Henry G. Coll, as
sistant cashier, who helped to falsify
the accounts to cover the d~efalcation.
We say he appears on the stage! We
must qualify that statement and say
that iguratively speaking for the pur-
poses Of this story he appears. But the
fact of the matter is that he has dis
appeared, and the police in every city
in the United States and Canada are
looking for him, and 1t is not known
how much money disappeared with
him.

Man in Whose Hands Had Been Placed Vast Trusts
Proves Faihless and Is Self-Confessed Defaulter
to the Amount of Millions--May Wheat

Milwaukee, Visit has been de-
elared that all the worlds a stage and
every man as an actor in the human
drama of life plays his part. At the
present moment Milwaukee, the me-
tropolis of Wisconsin, the great city
on the shores of Lake Michigan, second
only to Chicago in it's financial and
commercial Importance, has shifted its
busy scenes to the center of the stage,
has trotted out in unexpected and
startling manner the star performer in
the person of the president of the First

bound by his amazing manipulation of
the millions of other peoples money.
Now you see it and now you don't.
By Way Of Contrast.
Yesterday Frank G. Bigelow, head
of M~ilwaukee's largest financial in
stitution; to-day a self-confessed de-
faulter to the amount of millions, no
n seems to know exactly how much,
for each day brings to light some new
trust betrayed, some fresh amount of
loss to add to the startlingly large
total.
Yesterday he was the influential di-
rector in a dozen or more different
financial and business concerns; to-
day they are dropping his name one by
one, and assuring their clientele and
the public that he no longer has any
connection with the business.
Yesterday Banker Bigelow was
pointed out with pride by the people
of Milwaukee as one of their most
honored and successful financiers; to-
day as he walks the streets by virtue
of a bail bond, he is pointed out as
the man before whom the black walls
Of the grim prison are slowly rearing.
Yesterday he and his family were
among the social leaders of the city,
yesterday their palatial home OF AS
tor street was the center of Milwau-
KEGS social life, yesterday one con-
sidered himself fortunate to know
Frank G. Bigelow, and to be known of
him; but to-day all this has changed.
Social prestige is gone, an honored
name is furnished, a home is blighted,
the palatial home swept away in the
ruin, and the future made dark by the
certain harvest which always comes
sooner Or later from wrongdoing.
Is it any wonder that Milwaukee has
the center of the stage and that the
public has sat s%pellbound day after

Clever Dinner Cards

A clever set of dinner cards to be used
for tally cards through an evening card
party, were painted at one end, poster
fashion, for the girls, with the queens,
and for the men, jacks and kings. Play
ing cards were taken as models, and
were found surprisingly easy to repro
duce. And, by the way, a girl who was
clever at originating just such little
cards found a ready market for her
wares. She "gets up unusual cards for
club luncheons and dinners, and for holi-
day affairs, trying as hard as possible
(and succeeding wonderfully, too, as her
increased orders prove) to keep awaa
from sta~rs0typed idsas.
