On tn e Go.
p VOW the mournful autumn breezes
nj Come meandering through the

r VOW the mournful autumn breezes
4 y treeses,
And the sound but little pleases,
For it makes US sad to know
That the dear old days of summer,
When the heart is e'er hummer
And delight welcome conner,
Are at last upon the go
Now the rose begins to culver,
And the rwecds along the river
In the blast are seen to SILVER
When the twilight clC sA-' are gray.
Going is the festive sa 0D
And the warm and fetching tailor
Made costume will face the gale or
Otherwise be on display.
On our undergarments heavy
We will soon begin to levy;
In the stores full many bevy
Will examine winter socks,
And the man with but small root OF
Evil'' will invest the fruit of
His hard labor in suit Of
Hand-me-downs within a box.
Yes, it saddens us to know it,
Gut the summers on the go-it
Hasn't long to linger. Oh, it
Moves us to the very soul
For remember-oh, dadburn us!-
How the choky. smoky furnace
Into raving flends will turn US!
Think, too, Of the price Of coal!

Mrs. Heyl in Tears.
SHE MARRIED FOR LOVE
But 1t Was Love for Her Mother, Not
Her Fiance.

But 1t Was Love for Her Mother, Not
Her Fiance.
The witness was in tears when the
discrimination ended, and Judge
Carpenter said he had few questions
and answers which he desired to have
the stenographer read to him and
would take short recess before Mrs.
Heyl was dismissed from the stand
On Judge Carpenters return she again
took the stand and the judge had the
following questions and answers read
to her:
''You did not love Mr.. Heyl and you
did not care to marry him; is that the
case" eyes"
You told Mr.. Heyl so repeatedly? ~
Yes
You told your mother the same
thing. didn't YOU" NO"
"Why?" II Gid it because l loved
her"
What do you mean by that last
answer?' asked the judge. 81 meant
that l married Mr.. Heyl because I
loved her and knew she was wrapped
up in little Erick and was afraid the
child might be taken from her, and
that it would kill her." The witness
was then dismissed.
Mrs. Charles Best, wife Of Mrs.
Schandein's cousin, testified that the
home life of Mrs. Schandein and her
family in Milwaukee was as nearly
ideal as possible. She also testified to
having had a conversation with Mrs.
Schandein at Line lake in reference to
her daughter Clare, in which Mrs.
Schandein declared that she would re-
member Clare handsomely in her will
because Glare had never caused her
the slightest annoyance or anxiety.
She spoke very nicely of Emil in this
conversation, but said he was no bust
ness man. She testified that Mrs.
Schandein and Mrs. Heyl desired to go
to Germany to reside when they left
Milwaukee, although Heyl preferred
a residence in Buffalo. The reasons
Mrs. Schandein gave for desiring to
leave Milwaukee were the annoyances
which had been caused her here and
the gossip which was in circulation.
Later she met her at Berlin, and Mrs.
Schandein expressed great pleasure in
her life there and said that there was
no gossip there as there had been
here.

ADVENTURE AND"AD. VENTURE

No store in this city-none any
where has ever grown to it's full
stature, achieved real success, until
it's owner has yielded to the spirit
of adventure, !" and has ADVERTISED
more than he could afford tol.
Every successful man, in any line
of human effort, has found it neces-
sary, at times, to break every law
in the code of Caution" If Peary
finds the Pole it will be because he
risked more than he could "afford
to-"
Modern conditions Of life have de-
velOped in the race as great a love
of adventure" as our fathers had
for adventure and the same tingle
of the blood which came to the
fathers in the victories of pioneering
comes, nowadays, to the business
man who has rescued his enterprise
from peril.
1t was the spirit of adventure
which enabled the first Astor to
establish a r-trading station in the
far and Iperllous Northwest and it
is the spirit of adventure" which
induces the modern trader to try to
establish store in field where
competition dwarfs him. The
dangers of a complex life are as
great as Of an unexplored country.
The store-keeper of today is often
in competition with houses boasting
working capital" larger than his
entire assets. His chances are small
unless prosperity has somewhat
dulled the enthusiasm of the big
fellows unless they imagine that
they are big enough to omit adj
vertising now and then. In such
event the smaller merchant finds
his tide at the od-his opportun-
ity not only ready to be grasped,
but almost ready to grasp him.
On the day when the small mer-
chant advertises more than he can
afford to-" and the big merchant
less than he should less than he
must, even to hold his place in the
race-the small merchant has
taken a trick" in the game, gained
a rung on the ladder and is strength
ened for the next trial Of strategy.

MORAL REVOLUTION is LOOSE
Kind of Men Which Is Needed at the
Present JunCture.

Present JunCture.
1.-THE moral revolution now sweep
ing over the land means the patriot
ism that comes from the heart, not
from the head. Many men would be
willing, if need be, to give up their
lives for their city or state;
but the man who is willing to live for
his city and state every day is the man
that is needed just now. $
THERE never was time when the need
for patriotic men in public affairs was
greater than now. We need more men
Gctnated alone by the public good and
fewer Of those who are in politics mere
~ for revenue.
'"The strength Of the lawless ele-
ment is great, but 1t is as nothing
when it comes in contact with public
conscience thoroughly aroused. The
law-abiding people are in the MAORI
ty i'll Philadelphia, and there is hardly
a community in this country of which
this cannot be SAID. They are usually
quiet, however, while the lawless are
so vOciferOuS as to deceive many as
to their number. They may bluff and
bulldoze, but they are towards, and if
resolutely fought they can be over
come They are always active, how
ever, while the average good citizen
becomes active only occasionally.

"When the prosecutions were COM
menced in st. Louis members of the
house Of delegates claimed that bribery
had been going on SO long they were
entitled to notice to quit before being
prosecuted. Some of them argued that
members of the house Of delegates hav-
ing been taking brides from time i'm
memorial had acquired a right to do
so, and it was just as proper for
them to sell their votes as for the mer-
chant to sell his wares.
"a political rarty has no right to
ask for support because it is that par
ty, but because it stands for the right.
If political party cannot get votes on
the ground of patriotism it has no
partianship. Political parties
should be the servants of the people,
not their masters. The rem
edy for corruption, bribery, for graft
ing of every kind, is to enforce the
law. If the system is working an lille
gal game, instead of trying to beat the
game the better way is to stop the
game"

ton.
''There are today living in our COM
munities men who have matched the
exploits Of your Boones and Crocketts
and Codys. know personally the most
daring of them all, the celebrated Colo
mel Collinbrander, whose name is a
household word throughout South At
Yica and the record of whose desper-
ate fights with the natives would fill
a volume Back in the seventies the
colonel committed some political Of
tense which put him in disfavor with
the Natal government, and he was
practically outlawed. With bold
heart he went to Zululand to live and
found speedy favor in the eyes of old
Spearbold, one Of the greatest of the
kafflr subkings. At that time there
were dozen or more petty sovereigns,
and they were continually raiding one
another's adominions, stealing women,
after the fashion Of the ancient Ro-
MANS and likewise driving off herds
Of cattle.
Shortly after Collinbrander became
associated with this Zulu chief a raid
was made into his country by neigh
boring king at time when old Spear
bold was not suspecting attack. Sew
eral towns were laid waste, many men
were killed, and hundreds Of women
were captured Then the assailants
beat a retreat, knowing well that the
whole martial force Of the invaded ter
ritory would soon be on the warnath
to get revenge and rescue the prison
ers Here was where Collinbranders
genius for war came in, and he imme-
diately put himself at the head of all
the horsemen Of his friend Spearbold
and started in hot pursuit Of the fee
ing warriors. The battle that ensued
was a complete triumph for the pur.
this day told in every Kaffir hut. 1t
goes to show that brute strength is no
match for brains and science.
"That was the hand to hand fight
between the Englishman and a Zulu
warrior Of herculean strength and des.
perate courage. The duel was for
blood from start to finish. Collin
brander was knocked off his pony by
battleax hurled from a bowlder by
the savage, the blow also breaking the
stock of his rife and leaving him with
no weapon. Before he could rise the
stalwart Zulu was upon him brandish-
ing a stabbing assagai, which he thrust
into the Englishman as be lay pros
trate, but which luckily found no vital
spot
"Then ensued one Of the most ter
rife battles ever waged between two
men. Luckily Collinbrander was as
strong as he was brave, and he had the
advantage Of scientific athletic train
ing. Grasping the Zulu by the throat,
he choked him almost to death. and
finally he slew the native with his own
assagai. In this strange encounter,
which lasted fully half an hour, the
principals were left absolutely alone,
their position being such that outside
interference was impossible. To this
hour the survivors face shows an
enormous scar where the battleax
struck, and on his person are still other
scars to remind him how close he was
to death when he lay in the grip Of the
black savage"
