Saw the Eclipse.
From Wednesdays Da1ly.1

A.few ventured forth early this
morning in order to see the partial
eclipse of the sun. The orb of day
was obscured about two thirds and a
smoked glass was required in order
to see the moon. The sky was
clear and those who desired com
plete program sought some high
elevation. Those who slept through
the phenomenon escaped without
anv serious molestation.

VALUE

Cows is Enormous.

County Clerk Junge has just
completed a set of statistics cover
ing Sauk county creameries and
cheese factories for the year of

shown is astonishing and is evidence
of how much the prosperity of Sauk
county is due to it's cows. Here are

THE PRESIDENT ABROAD.

PRESIDENT RoosEvELT's S visit to the West has
greeted the chief magistrate Of the nation Regard
less Of party oations, the people have risen up to
do him honor. This has been no less marked in the
South and West than in the North and East If any

of the people for their President these demonstrations
are sufficient
These demonstrations in tie main tribute
to Roosevelt the man. The people recognize in him a
great man who towers far above the average Ameri-
can statesman and politician-a man Of remarkable
mental power Of the sternest Of personality in
ligrity and of the highest courage. And besides
this, he is man of genuine democratic ideas and

rations Roosevelt has risen above party. In more
than instance he has disregarded and defed the
wishes Of his partisan supporters He has will Of
his own and he dares to follow whittier his convictions

Even those who disagree with him in his ideas and

Roosevelt has every reason to be proud of he popular
approval of his course.

not be said under more calm deberation The Ex-
PRESS published an article Monday relative to certain

In n Good Cause.

The measure Of charity is the degree
or personal sacrifice a story which
has probably been told before comes
from a member of the committee of an
rangements for church fair. In her
work she employed q good natured
colored boy, who had fetched and car
ried for her day and night. He had
collected all the potted palms in the
neighborhood, and taken them to the
church without mishap. He had borne
messages TO every member of the COM
mittee. Although he had been paid
for the work, his excellnt service
seemed to demand an additional re
ward.
To combine two good deeds in one
the lady called him after all the
patrons had finished supper, and told
him TO eat as much as he could. He
obeyed. Ice-cream freeZers were
scraped to the bottom. One pretty
maid after another brought him the re-
mains of chocolate cakes. The straw
berry boxes were cleaned down to the
smallest pink stains. Still Bob ate
and smiled.
Finally, when there was nothing
more to eat, the lady came into the
room and prepared to pay for Bob's
supper. The treasurer made out the
check. 1t amounted to two dollars and
twenty-five cents.
Bob's patron looked surprised, but
said nothing, and opened her purse.
Bob stood beside her, wiping his
mouth, and shifting from one foot to
the other.

WHY EYESIGHT FAILS
INFERIOR ARTIFICIAL LIGHT FIRE.
QUENTLT THE CAUSE.

u.umInants OF tho Past, Ono and All,
Have serious Defects-Acetylone Gas,
With Its Clear, UnwnverIng Yet Soft
Flame Cannot Hurt the Eyes.
New York. June 20.-No one can go
into our schools or meet a group OF
children on the street without noticing
how large a number Of them wear
spectacles. The proportion seems to
increase yearly, and there are many
more who ought TO wear glasses. The
experience Of one teacher might be du-
plicated by the score. She knew Alice
was inattentive and she thought she
was unusually stupid. She said SO
to the principal and sent a note to
the mother, requesting that the child
be helped at home - tho wished her
to keep up with her class. Ore day
after blackboard explanation, the
teacher called upon the child and found
that she had not seen what had been
written. She was kept sitter school
and by dint of much sympathetic Ques-
tioning Miss c. found that Alice had
never been able to see what was put
on the board and that her head had
ached so often and so hard that she
frequently failed TO hear what was
said.
Such condition may be caused by
lack of proper food, but in our Ameri-
can homes it is usually due to the poor
quality Of the artificial light The yell
low, insufficient light Of the ordinary
kerosene lamp, with its smoky CHM
ney, is about rs bad for the eyes as
can be imagined. The 1ickering light
from 4 coal gas jet is but little better,
and even the electric light brilliant
as it usually is, has an unsteadiness
due to variations in power. and a glare
peculiarly trying TO tho delicate nerves
of sight. The comparatively new IL
luminant aCetylcnc gas produces as
nearly perfect an artificial light as has
yet boon found. 1t gives clear white.
unwaverng light, very brilliant, yet
perfectly soft. and so nearly like the
rays of the sun that even colorS ap-
pear rs in daylight
Fortunately, acetylene is very easily
and chcaply produced, and the simple
apparatus necessary can be purchased
and installed in any home at very
moderate cost, and the acetylcne can
be piped TO convenient points i'm the
house where Il light is needed. 1t is
then lighted and eXtinguished and used
exactly like common city gas
Acetylenc is rapidly coming into
common use i'm homes. churches
schools and institutions of all kinds,
and it is reasonable TO expect that as
its use i'm the home increases, there
will be fewer defective eyes. particu-
larly among children. Poor cyeSight
and the many ills resulting therefrom
will undoubtedly be much reduced by
the use OF this new illuminant.

Sheep in EnrlY Times.

A writer in Outing says that sixty
years ago having laborioUsly collated
an assortment of illusions to sheep
made by sacred and profane writers,
concluded that history of these animals
is so interviewer with the history of
man that they never existed in a wild
state at all. Biblical history from the
time of Abel is full of illusions to the
fiocks which formed the chief possess
sions of the Jewish people and their
neighbors. The spoils of war and the
tribute of vasSal kings largely con-
sisted of sheep. Thus we read that
Mesha, king of Moab, was Il sheep mas
ter, and rendered unto the king of
Israel 100000 lambs and 100000 rams
with the wool. Moses after his vic
tory over the Midianites obtained as
loot no less than 675,O0O sheep. and
long before the Christian era sheep
were cultivated III Western Europe.
Spain and Italy possessed them from
an unknown period, although long af-
ter Rome was founded the inhabitants
had not learned how to shear the fleece;
and until the time of Pliny the practice
of plucking it from the skin was not
wholly abandoned.

and as yet the brute had not dared 60
approach near enough to seize them.
Perhaps it had been the snake which
thus far had kept him at bay.
The eyes OF the brute changed rap
idly from the object of his contem-
plated feast to the serpent, giving ii
but little time to pay much attention to
me.
The moments lay there in this ter

fangs of the serpent inserted in nv
flesh. and at the same time, perhaps
the claws of the epraged beast.
They were ready to attack each 9TH

defenseless body.
My fears proved correct. The bear
made a spring and passed directly
over me upon its antagonist.
& The snake was ready for the battle
end met its enemy with a puncture of
IFS fangs, which perhaps did not prove
Fetal, owing to the tough hide and
TRICK fur of the bear.
= Another moment and the brute had
torn the reptile asunder, and in its
rage, not content with this, went on
rending it to fragments.
L sprang to my feet and few from
the spot. The bear uttered a growl

low. 1t was not yet through with pun
iShing one enemy.

Twenty Miles an Hour.

The chauffeur is the type, the symbo
of the modern, says Country Life in
America. The driver in action leans
over the motor bonnet like an aimed
arrow. His left hand is on the steel
driving gear, his right hand opens and
closes as he feels for the emergency
brake that will save life at the next
blind corner, his feet clad in buckskin
shoes, are pliable and acutely sensitive
and play the clutch rs If 1t were a soft
pedal. His goggles throw off a steady
fusillade of sand. His slave OF the
race, the mechanic at his left, is feed
ing oil to the fri n chafed chassis.
The machine is til Jbing as If it were
a great heart, al 1.-THE pulsations go
through him as part of the system.
The wheel-tires get egg-shaped from
the momentum. Chewing dust and
blinking wind he feels the speed gath
ering from all parts, from the hub bolt
TO the inmOSt nut of the body, like a
rising tide. What wonder that the
greatest triumph since Goethe was
crowned at Weimar came to Fournier
when he had hurtled through three ma
tons and rolled into the circus ground
of Berlin, receiving the prize of the
Emperor of Germany, of the King Of
the BelSians, of the Grand Duke Of
Luxembourg and of the city of H42
