a look at the early ambitions OF successful
men reveals the fact that what they planted
to be is what they generally have become,
Some have seen their dreams come true
beyond their widest expectations, one or
two have realized their exact ideals. and
others have found success along different
lines from their first ambitions. There, Is
no case Of marked achievement however,

Man Should Seek Suitable Work.

In all this ramiflcatlon OF the farm In
dustry, the man who would seek sum-
mer's work for his best schooling would
need to discover his bent. and thereafter
consult his map with reference to the best
place for making applications.
The situation of q farm In relation to O
great city has muchito do with the life which
the farm worker might expect to find. On q
$25, 900 farm that is forty miles from a big
city the harvest = hand = might expect to
work under farm foreman and eat and
sleep In a servants quarters; on many a
500, 900 farm in the central west he may find
the owner one of the best hands in the
field, and may have his breakfast prepared
carefully and tastefully BY the farmers
wife.
Just in proportion as the big city is left
behind and the population TO the square
mile dwindles the man seeking Job on d
farm may expect his social rela tions with
the family Of his employer to increase
But 1t is certain that nowhere else In this
country can man work at manual labor
receiving his board from his employer, and
yet get the consideration, and courtesy, and
comfort that are to be had on the farm.
Duties Depend on Class Of Farm.
Necessarily mans duties as n farm hand
must depend upon the Kind OF farm upon
which he finds employment Near the great
cities, as rule. more attention Is devoted
to dairying than to any other one line, and
there is the minimum of the harvest Stress
The dairy farmer necessarily must have
enough help assured him in order to care for
the milk production. The same may be true

SEEKS DEATH ON STAGE,
Theatrical Manager, Jealous of Wife and
Clown, Takes observation-disclosures

Des Moines, Ia, Feb. 13.-On a stage
set for comedy and before a large
audience at Garrison, tragedy took
place in real life. The Hendricks Come
1y company was the bill and William
Hendricks, the manager, appeared in the
tOle Of an acrobat.
For some time, it is alleged, he has
been jealous of his wife and the COM
pany's clown, who enact a love scene in
the play which was too realistic for Hen
bricks. His passion reached its height
last night and, failing to drown his feel
tngs with liquor, he secured rat poison
at a drug store and just previous to en-
tering the stage for his turn swallowed
the entire dose.
The drug had a marvellous effect He,
started to perform, but fell to the floor,
twisting in unnatural contorIions. -Four
strong men We're required to hold him.
A doctor was summoned with a stOn-
ach pump and the poison removed The
entertainment closed with the audience
In confusion. Hendricks is now lowering
between life and death.

PROVERBS WORTH $4,000.

An extremely interesting and instruc-

days representing some we'll known prov
erb or saying, sayings that we use every
day. All there is to do is to buy an
Evening Wisconsin and to write the an
swers in the space beneath each picture,
to be turned in at the eud of the contest.
The first pictures look very easy, and
we are going to try and win that $3.50

WOULD KILL TOLSTOI.
The Orthodox Church of Russia Is
Charged with melting Peasants
to Murder.

Moscow, Feb. lit was to be ex-
peeted that the present troubles would
be laid, in part, at least, to Tolstoi, who
had the courage to tell the Gar, his min
listers and the organs of the Orthodox
church long ago what would happen A
dispatch from Odessa says that a peas
ant IS under arrest there who had start
ed out to kill Tolstoi. Being interrogated
the man said that he considered it a
meritorious deed to do away with the
enemy of the church and traitor
The governor followed up this clue and
learned that in the cloister of Gluchoff a
picture, painted by monks, was exhibited
that directly melted to the murder of
Tolstoi
The large oil painting is called 4.The
Fighting Church" In the center is an
immense rock, surrounded by wildly agi-
tated waves. On the top of the rock
stands church, wherein the SANITY
men OF Russia are supposed to dwell
On one side is a representation of purga-
tory. where anarchists and reformers are
brolling, and on the threshold stands
Tolstoi, labeled enemy of church and
matrimoDy." Opposite Tolstoi is mob
of angry peasants and workmen throw
ing stones at him.
The monks. it is charged, have been
telling the pilgrims for years that the
church would bless anyone killing Tolls
tot. The abbot of the cloister confessed
to the governor that very frequently per-
sons asked him to bless them, so they
might go to Moscow and kill Tolstoi Il
have always refused" said the abbot
"but | am convinced that the church
would be greatly benefited by the death
ing to shoulder the responsibility of such
an act.

Humiliation.

Berlin. Feb. 1.-THE attitude Of the
Russian Emperor toward peace rests
upon considerations of such delicacy that
predictions of what he may or may not
do are regarded by this court as not worth
while making. One reality of the situa-
ton is that the Russian government
wants no mediation from abroad. Ger
many will not make any offer. The feel
ing at the Russian court is that peace is
desirable. even at immense sacrifices, but
how to arrive at it without intolerable
humiliation is a question likely to remain
unsolyed for an indefinite time.

Rome, Feb. 11--Although the bill be
fore the French chamber of deputies,
providing for the separation of church
and state in France is expected to pass,
the Vatican authorities still hope to re-
tain hold on France, in regard to the
protectorate over Catholics in the east.
Negotiations on the subject took place
in 1900, when the Sultan Of Turkey in
formed the Pope that he intended to ac-
credit a representative to the holy see.
When Emperor William went to Jeru-

he tried to persuade the Pope to accept
the Sultan's offer. but the pontiff refused.
Now matters may take a different turn.

school, which is a very good imitation of
those in which our ancestors learned the
rudiments Of music, still fourishes, and
the boys and girls flock to the weekly
meetings even as former boys and girls
did when a tallow dip glued to the top

ter Of the old style in Exchange street,

some outlying town, where he is going to

just as popular now as they were in the
DAYS before he was gray-headed, and
that the young people are just as fond of
sitting together and reciting do, IA, mi,

their forbears. Methods have improved
somewhat, he hopes, though the prin-
ciples are about the same. AS is always
the case, a few of the pupils are quick to
learn and gain a mastery Of musical no
tatiOn in a short time, though q majority
attend the classes and follow the instruc-
tions more for the pleasure of meeting
with friends than for any musical infor-
nation they may gain.-Bangor News.
