Zouave Girls.

Keller's troupe of twenty Zouave
girls, direct from Europe, one among
the many new features with the Paw
nee Bill shows this season. These
young ladies have been perfectly and
wonderfully drilled by Captain KEEL
Ter, Of the Royal Guards, and are ad-
nitted by military Officers to be the
most rapid, graceful and precisely
drilled body Of Zouaves that have ever
been seen here. Not only are they
perfect in the manual OF arms, but IN
pyramidiag, marches, grouping gun
spinning, and wall scaling, they are
without equals. This troupe Of twenty
active young ladies go through their
tactic with such precision that to the
unframed eye it resembles the move
Of but one person. In thought and
action there is that alertness, and uo-
ion in movement that tells OF long and
perfect drilling Their exhibition OF
wall scaling is certainly an example
of agility that the regular troops
would do well to follow. Without eth
er hand or foot holds, they scale a
thirty foot smooth faced wall, by form.

it takes to tell it, and swing over to
the opposite side. It IS not only a
feat requiring unusual activity. but
strength as well The Keller Zouaves
will not be seen in any other show 9TH

country.

Happy Marriages.

If all men and women who marry
did so for genuine, permanent love,
the veXed question, rs marriage a
failures" might be definitely settled
once and for all-in the negative.
For genuine, permanent love be-
tween man and woman is the healer
of all troubles, trials and quarrels.
Given true love, and come what
may, neither man nor woman can
be miserable so long as they have
each other.
Unfortunately, such marriages
are the exception rather than the
rule. People who find and marry
their affinities are not many, and
those few are blessed among men
and women. Genuine, permanent
love, which merges itself in
another's identity, so that the two
thereafter form perfect and
harmonious whole, and each fiber
in the being of each sets to the
other, so that there can be no con-
test of will, no difference of opinion,
is as rare as radium, rarer perhaps,
since there is no way of securing it
to order.
In the vast majority of marriages
there is more or less readjustment
necessary, the transition from the
romantic love of courtshlp to the
sober, everyday affection OF con-
jugal life.
Next to the married people who
are lovers, they are happiest who
are thoroughly good friends. just
as friendship often ripens into love,
so also, while passionate love rarely
cools off into friendship, the true
husband or wife Is always the others
truest and best friend. True friend
ship makes a quietly happy mar
riage, because friends make each
others interests their own.
Where friendship and love unite,
each strengthening and sustaining
the other, there, is the ideal marriage
as the Creator instituted it when He
made the first woman as help
meet for the first man, not the
modern partnership as we so often
see 1t to-day, where the husband
provides the income and the wife
spends it.

CASH FOR SCHOOLS.
State Aid to be 81, 662, $50, Increase
of over 100000 Since 1905.

The state aid for the common
schools of Wisconsin will be an
proximately 1862, $50 this year.
This is an increase of $1O6, OH over
that of last year. This state aid for
schools is made up of the so-called
mill tax, the income on the common
school trust fund, sale Of certain
state lands, fines for certain penal
Offenses, receipts from sale of
escheated estates, and 5000, 900 from
the license fees or taxes paid by
corporations.
The appointment Of the common
school fund is based on the num-
Der of persons between the ages of
4 and 20 years in the state, the aid
for each district being determined
by the number Of snch persons
residing within its limits,
Last year the number Of persons
of school age in tie state was 773,-
$50, and this year it is estimated as
785, 900, an increase Of II, 467. The
per capita apportiOnment of state
aid last year, based on the total
number of persons of school age in
the state, was 50, Oh. tits estimated
that it will be So, 176 this year.
While there is some sentiment
among the three members of the
state board of assessment, consist
ing of Gov. Davidson, Secretary of
State Houser and State Treasurer
Kempf, in favor of remitting a big
part Of the state taxes this year be-
cause Of the large amount Of funds
now in the state treasury, there is
grave question whether the board
could lawfully remit the tax pre-
scribed for the common schools It
has never been RENTED SINCE the
law providing for 1t was passed. It
is probable that the board Will levy
this tax and remit that for the state
university, normal schools. high
schools, graded schools and interest
on the state debt, which will amount
to about 81, 100000.
The law provides that the state
aid for common schools shall be IAN
amount equal" to q tax Of seven
tenths of a mill upon all the taxable
property Of the state, except cor
poration property paying fees or
direct taxes to the state. OF this
amount equal" to seven-tentbs
mill tax $500, 900 is taken from the
fee paid by corporations and the
remainder. is derived from tax
levied on the general taxable prop
erty of the state, exclusive Of the
corporation property mentioned.

First Ruling on Primary Law.

The first Interpretation Of the
Wisconsin primary election law by
the courts was made at Ashland by
Judge Fowler of Portage, and in
wolves the rights Of voters irrespec-
tive of party to nominate candidates
for office by writing in their names.
Atty. Gen. L. Sturdevant has
ruled that the law protects the in
tegrity of political parties and that
no name shall be counted on the
primary ballot except those of per
sons who have complied with the
practice Of the party and the letter
of the law by circulating petitions
thus having the right to have their
names printed on the primary bal
lot.
Judge Fowler decides that the
trend of legislation as we'll as the
spirit of the primary election law
gives individual voters their rights
to vote for whom they please,
whether the person has complied
with the law or not by circulating
papers.
His decision puts on the Demo-
cratic ticket in Ashland county
three persons named who we're not
on the official ballot.
By agreement the decision will
be taken up before the supreme
court next Tuesday and one hun
dred similar cases throughout the
state will follow the decision.

SUNDAY SERMON

nets today. What was Peter doing
on the day of Pentecost IN the city
of Jerusalem? Fishing for men.
And when the net was drawn at
the close of the day there was a
magnificent catch of 5000 souls.
Weak men2 That little handful
of Galilean fishermen turned the
world upside down. They were
consumed with zeal. They hurled
the dynamite of the gospel at the
bulwarks Of superstition and the
gray walls crumbled into dust.
They kindled fires of enthusiasm in
other hearts that swept like con-
f1agration across continents and
hemispheres. They blew trumpet
blasts that marshalled millions
under one heavenly banner. They
set in motion influences that like
tidal waves are beating still upon
every shore. One of the strongest
evidence of the divine character of
the founder of Christianity is the
result of the choice he made Of his
cabinet in the beginning.

Getting Customers.

The getting of customers is with
out doubt an object of the greatest
importance to everyone engaged in
business Of any kind, for without
customers no business can be eX-
pected to thrive or become a sue
cess.
To do a profitable business the
merchant must have customers,
and he is constantly studying and
continually on the lookout for new
ways, plans and methods by which
they may gain a larger custom.
Getting customers, it may be truth
fully said, is the most essential
feature of any business
A man might set up in some
town or city with the finest stock
Of goods it was possible for him to
procure-the finest in that town
and be able to sell at prices much
lower than anyone else in the town;
yet if he did not. by means of at
tractive window display, placard
signs, space in the newspapers, let
the people know what he had, and
what he could do. he would get
very few customers. But by these
methods he induces people to come
into his store and examine his
goods and prices, and if he can do
little better, or even as well as
the other merchants of the town,
he is sure to get a fair share Of the
custom.
To get customers he has to get
the people, or a part of them inter
ested, or get in touch with those
interested or likely to be interested
in his proposition. There IS only
one way to do this---by advertising.
The advertising puts HIM in touch
with people interested in his pro-
position and if the literature has
been written and printed in man
ner that will impress and convince
the recipient he will get customers.
There are many good points
which the advertiser can use
through newspaper publicity, and
chief among the many is quoting
the Price when always implies
gaod faith and invites confidence.
You can talk more effectively
through newspaper advertising
than in any other way. Try it and
see what the results will bring you.

To Keep Up His Nerve.

Fifteen minutes after Miss Am
anda E. McClain had become the
bride Of Wallace Johnson at Norris
town, Pa, she wanted a divorce,
because, she said, her husband had
taken a drink.
A few minutes after leaving the
magistrates Office, where they were
married, the bride rushed into the
Office, holding the marriage GER
tifcate in her hand, and begged
the Magistrate to take it back.
With tears in her eyes, she said:
why, that man told me he did
not drink. We had only been mar
ried a few minutes when he pulled
a bottle of whiskey out of his
pocket and took a drink. He told
me he had to do it to keep up his
nerve"

Rev. Irl Hicks, predicts that the
first storm in October will be III
progress at the opening Of the
month and storms of rain may be
expected on several days during the
remainder of the month. From the
10th to 18th storm period is cen
trail. This period will bring ex-
tremes of temperature and autumn
rains with storms all the way from
vicious lightning and thunder to
sudden changes into almost winter

A regular period covers the 10th
to goth. In all probability this will
be the worst period of the month
Many sections will be visited with
violent storms followed by snow
and marked change to colder.
From the 23rd to 25th another
period of storms will be left at
which time change to warmer may
be expected. The last storm for the
month will occur the last five days.
The elimination of this period Will
center on the 31st when cold wave

Seasonable Observations.

AS look from the car window
/ observe that almost all the corn
is standing up straight. There
have been but few wind storms to
blow down or tapgle the corn. This
means mighty good husking.
The alfalfa business is yet IN its
infancy. There seems to be SO
many things that one can learn
about 1t. This can be learned best
by trying a small acreage, though
1t is too late to SOW this year.
1 recently crossed the Missouri
river and while looking into the
surging, thickening mass of yellow
mud and water l was impressed
with the belief that the river would
have to be irrigated before it could
be navigated. 1t is neither a stream
nor a swamp.
l have seen pigs that acted al
most human-like. have seen them
with all symptoms of the human
stomach-ache. I know how they
feel and they can't call a doctor.
Tor that reason 1t is always adj
visable to keep some wood ashes III
the salt so as to correct any ailment
of this kind.
The best way to keep up the
credit of farm is to never send
anything to market that is not IN
the very best condition. An IN
sound horse, cow, pig or ousnel
Of anything that is not in strictly
first class condition should never De
marketed. Get the highest prices
by selling the best. That is the
rule.
When l see the blowing stackers
on exhibition at fairs it almost
makes me mad at myself to think
back forty years and note the many
days I have put in stacking straw
in dust so thick that it would some
times float ones hat off. To see the
ease Of the present day farmer
makes a man wish he could live
two or three hundred years so as TO
get even for some of the ills
experienced in pioneer life.
The undertaken always carries
out what he undertakes.

Woman's Club News.

AS before stated, the Woman's
Club will meet with Mrs. VIM.
Zeigler, Oct. s, at p. m. for its first
regular meeting this year. We
take this occasion to say that we
welcome to our membership all
women who are interested in the
best and truest life for the individual
and the community.
We wish to double our number
this year, and feel SIRE no one will
regret becoming a member OF this
club, which now has every reason
for existence, and has accomplished
a few good results each year. This
year we are paying rent on an ad-
ditional room for the use of the
library, which was becoming very
much crowded. The constantly ac-
cumulating piles of fine magazines,
always valuable for reference, could
not all be used for lack of room to
arrange an accessible place for them.
This has been bettered very much,
and those who say that 1.-The room
is of no use and the Woman's Club
are wasting their money on It, !"
are referred to the librarian or to
any member of the library board.
We have also greatly enjoyed
furnishing the council chamber for
use as a rest room for women. The
Commercial Club requested the
previous council to supply room
for this purpose, and the latter body
at once offered the use Of this room,
and made the necessary improve
ments. Nothing further was done,
however, until last May, when the
Woman's Club asked for and re-
ceived permission to arrange 1t for
use. It was opened on Decoration
Day and thoroughly appreciated
from the first.
Mrs. Winchell has charge Of the
room, which is open each day from
nine till five, and is to be further
furnished and improved by the
club, it having demonstrated its
great convenience.
The present council at the June
meeting voted to place the rest
room in charge of the Woman's
Club, and to pay the matron selected
by the club to receive visiting ladies
and look after the room. A more
convenient location could not have
been found, and the registry list IS
rapidly climbing to the thousand
mark, it can be inspected at any
time though it was not started until
July 25, and therefore has no record
of the crowds that were there during
carnival week, and do not all guests
wish to register one may see
whether the room is appreciated or
not.
We feel that most of the citizens
agree that Lancaster owes the
farmers from the surrounding coun-
try a comfortable place to bring
their wives and children.
