Patrick Murphy had an afternoon

see the horse races.
Pat had heard about the fortunes

he would try his luck. He went down
stairs before every race, but didn't
find any odds that suited him untif

Pat put up his dollar and went up

by a neck. Pat hurried downstairs
with lively step to cash In MS

the bookmaker was anxious to get
rid of his silver, therefore Pat was
paid with silver dollars.
Pat stood there few minutes fum-

AN OLD PAINTERS IDEAS

The autumn season is coming more

summer has put the wood into good
condition in every way. The weather,
moreover is more likely to be settled
for the necessary length of time to
allow all the coats to thoroughly dry,
very important precaution. An old
and successful painter said to the
writer the other day: House owners
would get more for their money If they
would allow their painters to take
more time, especially between coats.
Instead of allowing barely time for the
surface to get dry enough not to be
'tacky,' several days (weeks would
not be too much) should be allowed
so that the coat might set through
and through. 1t is inconvenient, of
course, but, IL one would suffer this
Slight inconvenience, it would add two
or three years to the life of the paint"

Urges Shippers to Organize.

Complete organization of grain
shippers, large and small, was advo-
Gated as necessity by President e.
P. York of the Wisconsin Grain Deal
ers' association in his annual address
to the organization in session at Mil
waukee He said that laws are need
ed to protect the grain dealer against
dishonest shippers as well. 1T is es-
sential," he continued, that we OBJ
tain fair distribution of shipment
by the railroads, and if the recent leg
iSlation on this point is insufficient
new laws must be obtained. The Sec
rotary tells me that within the last
few months the railroads appear to
have made efforts to distribute cars
fairly to shippers, but the conditions
are far from ideal yet. There must
be reasonable adjustment of rates
and, in my opinion, the time must
come when freight rates must be
based on the energy required to car
ry the commodity to its destination
with a reasonable allowance for the
responsibility incurred. But there
must be no discrimination between
individuals or cities and no rebates
Some of the things which will need
consideration is the establishment of
better and more uniform market reg
ulations, trade rules and terminal
markets. Too much Importance can
not be attached to the subject of ar
filtration boards to settle differences
between shippers and receivers. This
association should strive to secure
the elimination of all bad practices
and should take steps to insure the
faithful fulfillment of contracts. Bet
ter rules for the preparation Of grain
for market and the uniformity of in
spection rates and weights are sub
jects worthy of consideration"

AN OLD TIMER.

A woman who has used Postum

She says: at the time Postum was
first put on the market l was suffer

physician had repeatedly told me not
to use tea or coffee Finally l de-
cided to take his advice and try
Postum, and got sample and had it
carefully prepared, finding it deli
cious to the taste. So / continued
its use and very soon its beneficial eff
fects convinced me OF it's value, for
i got well of my nervousness and dys-
pepsia.
MY husband had been drinking cof-
fee all his life until it had affected
his nerves terribly. l persuaded him
to shift to Postum and it was easy to
get him to make the change for the
Postum is delicious. 1t certainly
worked wonders for him.
I'VE soon learned that Postum does
not exhilarate or depress and does not
stimulate, but steadily and honestly
strengthens the nerves and the stom-
ach. To make long story short our
entire family have now used Postum
for eight years with completely sat
isfying results, as shown in our fine
condition of health and we have no

Law as to Automobiles.


The state law, known to most own
ers of automobiles, but which is not
always strictly adhered to by them, is
section four of chapter sos of the
laws of Wisconsin of 1905, which is as
follows: Every person operating an
automobile or other similar motor We
hicle upon or along any of the public
highways of this state shall, upon sig
nal of putting up the hand or other
sign of distress by person riding or
driving a horse or horses which shall
appear frightened, cause such auto
mobile or motor vehicle to stop all
motor power and remain stationary,
unless movement forward shall be
deemed necessary to avoid accident
or injury, until such horse or horses
appear under control; and shall, if re-
quested, assist such person or persons
to pass such automobile or other SIM
liar motor vehicle in safety, it being
the intent of this act that every rea-
sonable precaution shall be exercised
by the operator of any such automo-
bile or other similar motor vehicle
and to prevent the frightening of such
horse or horses and to prevent acct
dent or injury All motor power to
be stopped on any automobile or other
similar motor vehicle while left I'M

To Guide University Authorities.

Anticipating the recommendations
of the Investigating committee of the
university, President G. r. Van Hise
has drafted set of resolutions which
are to be adopted by the board of
regents that will guide the professors
and university authorities in their
future actions. The action was taken
following a long private conference
with President G. r. Van Hise about
a month ago. At that time the presi-
dent was asked to explain some of
the bills questioned by the auditor OF
the university, the more important OF
which was chartered car to mem
bers of the legislature, charged to
the account of advertising; legal adj
vice from outside attorneys, when it
is the duty of the attorney general to
attend to such matters; music for the
alumni ball, etc." President Van
Hise disclaimed any knowledge of
most of the questioned bills, but
promised to look into the matter and
give an explanation at the next meet
ing of the committee.

Took Books While irresponsible.

DR.. R. G. Thwaites, secretary of the
Wisconsin historical library, has re-
ceived a letter from a young woman,
former student at the state uniyer-
sity, admitting that she carried away
about 200 state and university library
books found in boxes stored in her
name at the Sumner & Morris ware
house. She says she took the books
while under influence of drug pre-
ecribed for her by a physician. The
Wisconsin authorities will not at
tempt to prosecute the girl.

Intoxicants in VedetabIes.

Vegetables not only contain stimu-
lants but are capable of producing an
intoxicating influence on those who
depend on them exclusively for food,
according to an investigator. He cites
a case in which some young people OF
his acquaintance suffered from par
tial intoxication as the result OF
purely vegetable meal.

Madison Wants Interurban Road.

Madison business men are joining
in a united demand for immediate in
terurban trolley connections. Several
petitions are being circulated and are
being freely signed by business men.
The petition goes on to say that
everywhere else in the state cities are
profiting by interurban connections,
and that Madison is losing prestige
because it is tagging behind in the
procession. The matter apparently
hinges on the point whether or not
Madison would demand compensation
for an interurban franchise.

Court Has Been Busy.

A total of 143 cases during the fis-
cal year ending June 80 is the record
of the United States district court for
the western district of Wisconsin
The district stands ninth among the
81 districts of the country in the
amount of business transacted-in
reality it stands fifth, as four of the
courts that lead it in the number of
cases are in Indian territory, where
the federal courts have jurisdiction
over both matters similar to those
dealt with by other federal courts and
business usually administered by the
state courts.

Good Season for Ducks.

This fall gives promise of being the
best in many years for the duck hunt
ers, most of whom are already prepar-
ing for the shooting which opens
September /. Guns are being cleaned
boats painted and dogs trained for
the pursuit of the elusive mallard and
many other wary species of webbed
footers which will visit the four local
lakes. The wild rice has grown well
and there will be plenty of food for
the northern ducks when they fly
through this vicinity on their way
south next month.

THAW FALLS OUT
WITH HIS CATERER
Insists on Having Knife and Fork to
Eat With-Back to Prison
Fare.

New York, Aug. 9.-Because he was
not furnished knife and fork for his
meal, Thaw quarreled with the prison
caterer, who has been furnishing him
food. Thaw's breakfast today consist
ed of plain prison fare. He ordered his
luncheon from a nearby hotel. The
caterer said Thaw insisted upon having
a knife and fork, though knowing 1t
was against the prison rules to furnish
them to prisoners charged with capital
offenses.
He said Thaw complained so often to
him he was determined to serve him
no longer. 1t is said that when Thaw
was first placed in the Tombs, Warden
Flynn suggested that ne order such
food as could be easily eaten without
the use of knife and fork, as no excep-
ton would be made in his case.
