Hon. George D. Perkins, who has
announced himself as a candidate for
the republican nomination for COVER
nor in Iowa, once lived at Baraboo, of
which place his mother was the fourth
postmistress. He <as born in Holly,
Orleans county, N. Y, February 20,
1910. His education was acquired in
the common schools and the printing
office. To the Baraboo News Mr..
Perkins wrote recently: "In 1S49 our
family removed to Baraboo from Mil
waulzee, which had been our home for
two years. Prior to that time we had
been year in Indiana. The home at
Holly, N. Y, near Rochester, had been
broken up to make a vain search for
my fathers better health. He opened
q law Office in Baraboo and was for
time justice of the peace, but his all
ment grew upon him and on the 18th
of September, 1851, at my uncle's
home in Milwaukee, where he was in
terrupted in journey, he died. At
that time there was my mother and
four children, the Oldest being Henry,
who was Is. The railroad from Mil
waukee extended as far as Waukesha.
When my mother got back to Baraboo,
after the funeral, she had a little
household furniture and just one dol
lar in money. l had preceded her,
load of merchandise, and the trip oc-
cupied ten days. l had earned fifty
cents and this was added to my
mothers capital. She prepared to
take boarders, and she began with
one boarder, DR.. Alexander. 1t was a
great campaign she started upon,-
the campaign to keep her little family
together, and to give her girls and
boys such opportunities as the little
town afforded. She was never desert
ed by her courage" Mr.. Perkins goes
on to say that his mother was post
mistress under the administration of
President Pierce. Following the cleo
ton in 1852 certain friends of my
father" he says, interested them
selves in my mothers behalf and
their success was to her like mamma
from heaven. There are old citizens
of Baraboo who remember her and her
painstaking and faithful service.

lived and where the Office was is still

THE HABITS OF RABBITS.

One morning after a light fall of
snow, during my walk through the
fields and woods | saw a rabbit track
and mink track together. | follow
ed the trail to see what had happened
l had not gone far when l discovered
tufts of rabbit fur upon the snow; a
few yards farther and there were
drops of blood, the rabbits leaping
growing shorter and shorter, and in a
few moments l came upon the half
devoured body of the rabbit lying in
the open. That the mink had run
the rabbit down and caught it was as
plain as the snow record could be.
There was no hiding under the snow
by the mink and not the least evidence
that the rabbit had been surprised.
Rabbits see behind them quite as read
lily as before, and no animal could
steal upon moving rabbit at night
and not be seen.
And rabbits are always moving at
night. 1t is nocturnal animal. 1t
does not sit in its form at n'~
stalked by its enemies, or to be taken
by any sapping and mining process.
In daylight a weasel might steal upon
it and seize it in its form, but not by
night. In my part of the country,
the rabbit runs to hole in the winter
and passes the day there. The boys
catch it with ferrets. The minks and
weasels catch it in it's hole alone. My
hired man, who is an old hunter, tells
me he once saw upon the snow where
mink had brought rabbit out of a
hole and carried him a long distance
to his den. He followed the trail and
saw by the imprint upon the snow
that every little while the mink had
to lay down his burden and rest

CHAPTER XVI.

On Monte Pericio!-an the sun
setting over Rome A sunset in this
city is different from any other in the
world. Nowhere else does he find it
so hard to leave the earth, and no
where else does he leave behind him
such a mellow, golden light Even the
atmosphere seems filled with millions
st. Peters immense dome flames up
crown of rays, brilliant majestic, in
describably magnificent-envelopin
the city below with halo of glory.
The notes of hundred bells CULVER in
the air; soft wind is blowing from
the distant mountains and playing
about the luxuriant foliage, and
these evergreen walks are filed with
thousands of visitors, walking up and
down. The crowd sways and surges:
here are shining eyes in proud Roman
faces; there, the brilliant blonde
faces of lovely English women, and the
rosy compilations of the Germans.
Bright, cleaning dresses, elegant
equipages; among others. the scarlet
liveries of the queen. There, long
trains of young priests in their green,
blue. and red robes.
Now the music begins, and mingles
with the sound of the bells and the
FLASHING of the silver waterfalls, with
the chatter and laughter of the throng,
who are talking in all the languages
of the civilized world; and opposite,
rising sharply against the yeSow even
ing sky. the solemn pine woods of the
Villa Borghese.
In one of the lonely middle paths.
an old gentleman in a light spring suit
with black band on his arm, was
alking, by his side a slender, youth
full figure in simple walking costume,
but in deep mourning. The delicate
tint Of health rested on her cheek, and
though the maner in which she was
gazing at the magnifcence of the
spring sunset was not exactly gay,
there was In the glance of the liquid
eyes a quiet. intense joy in the beauty
around her.
Uncle, how hard 1t will be to go
away" she was just saying.
Yes Lorchen. that may well be !;
but we shall come again"

Katie had at last attained her
hearts desire. 1t was strange. but
that pneumonia and consumption
owe my good fortune to the worlds
at this moment she felt nothing but an
extraordinary WEAKNESS. She pushed
away the books, which she had got
secretly from the circulating library
She had experienced the reality now,
the sweetest phase of maiden's life;
but was II really so sweet as IL was

at once she yawned, and In less than a
quarter of an hour she was in bed and

went to his mother.
She was sitting near the lamp with
a neighbor, the Frau Burgermeisterin,

reply of the Pastorin.
Yes. there won't be much quiet
here in the future" continued the
pretty. plump little woman, with
pleasure beaming in her eyes at the
distinction her native town had at
tanned to. And what an advantage 1t
will be. Quite different life. and a
great increase in trade"
That is very true" assented the
doctor.

woman who has been felled and de-

If you want measurements, don't go
