Wise Girl.

Now. there was a certain girl, and
she had three wooers. The first wooer
said she was the whole world to him,
but she frowned upon his suit The
second wooer said she was the sun,
moon and stars to him. but she babe
him be on his way
ITO me- said the third, you are 8
young woman of agreeable manners,
with eyes that might be little bluer,
with a nose that is a wee bit PIGGY
and with a few freckles and an annoy
ing habit of hurting out your
thoughts
She married the third wooer. Being
pressed for an explanation of her con-
duct, she said:
'My goodness! l think l was sensi-
BILE. l married the only one that had
courage enough to tell me of my faults
before marriage, instead of waiting to
throw them up to me afterward."--

Famous Bows.

A boy used to crush the flowers tc
get their color and painted the white
side of his fathers cottage in Tyrol
with all sorts of pictures, which the
mountaineer gaZed at as wonderful.
He was the great artist Titan.
An old painter watched a little fellow
who amused himself making drawings
of his pot and brushes, easel and stool,
and said, THAT boy will beat me
some day" So he did, for he was
Michael Angelo.
A German boy was reading a blood
and thunder novel. Right in the midst
of it he said to himself: Nov this will
never do. l get too much excited over
it. | can't study SO well after it, So
here goes"' And he flung the book out
into the river He was Fichte, the great
German philosopher.

SIashfng of Salads.

Too many people who are well bred
in nearly every other respect are guilty
of the solecism-to call it by the mild
est name-of cutting up their salad on
the plate. OF course salad has some
times to be reduced to lower dimen-
sions, so to speak, but it need not be
done by the wholesale or quite in the
businesslike fashion practiced by
some. Grasping a knife in one hand
and a fork in the other, they slash
away at the inoffensive green stuff
with vigor and noise of miniature
moving machine until the bruised
leaves are converted into shreds of
their former selves. There is common
sense in the convention that prohibits
such course. Nearly all green salads
are broken into pieces of convenient
size before sending to the table. Even
when these are too large the Leaf
should be quietly divided with fork.

ALI Ready for the State Fair.

Everything is in readiness for the
great Wisconsin State Fair to be held at
Milwaukee from Sept. 10 to IA. All that
remains now to make it tremendous
success is the largest possible attendance
of people from all parts of the state.
Thursday is Milwaukee Day and Mil
waukee people propose to exceed all
their records in point of attendance.
Wednesday will be State Day and should
be one of the great big days of the week.
Half fare rates on all railroads will pre-
vail during the entire week, tickets be-
ing on sale the Saturday before the Fair
and good until and including the Satur-
day of Fair week.
There will be special entertainment
features to interest State Fair visitors
both day and night. These, of course,
will be in addition to the regular fea-
lures of the State Fair which will in
clude most comprehensive display of
the products of the State. Monday, the
opening day of the Fair, is Children's
Day, and all school children will be ad-
mitted to the grounds free of charge.

dren at one o'clock, for which beautiful

Chance to Write for the Paper.

Who has not at times had ideas which
he or she would like to see in some news
paper? Many good thought has slum-
bered in the brain of the thinker be-
cause Of the difficulties and rebuffs
when are always supposed to lie in the
path to the editorial sanctum. The Chi
cago Record Herald, however, welcomes
such ideas and has page in it's Sunday
issue called THE Battle Ground of Mod
ern Thought" which is devoted exclu
sively to letters from it's readers. The
best articles received each week are
carefully edited and printed over the
writer's names. The amount of really
valuable matter that finds it's way into
this department is remarkable and is
proof that the ability to write we'll and
entertainingly is not confined to profess
sional writer's. The only restriction The
Record Herald puts upon writer's for this
interesting page is that articles must be
of conversational nature and devoted
to the discussion of some current topic.

Two Types of Biographical Writing.
It is an interesting fact in the history
of literary genres that two of the great
examples of biographical writing occur
almost de by side. Less than decade
separates the completion of Johnson's
elves of the Poets from the pubIica-
ton of his own life by Boswell Yet
with the latter book a new type Of
biography came into being. Johnson.
in the main, had, like most of his pred
ecessors, followed a simple narrative
and expository method, prefxing a
plain story of the poets life to a sys-
tematic account of his character and a
critical estimate of his works. He
gathered his facts and impressions to-
gether and spoke for the author and for
himself Boswell, on the other hand
making use of a more dramatic meth
cd, succeeded in his attempt to let the
author reveal himself, and, instead of
an exposition Of character, painted a
picture of personality to which his own
comments were subordinate. What we
see as type Of mind and character IL
Johnson's work we see as a living mar
in Boswell.--William t. Brewster ir
