THE FAMISHED.

Mine was a nature that needed sun
AS the flowers need it,. |
Could have wrought good things had
there been but one
To smile and to bid me try
But they kept their words,--they were
busy, all,
With their own affairs--until
NV blood seemed touched with tinct
of gall
And my heart with an icy chill.
I died one night, and they came, next
day
The ones who had seemed so cold,
And wept as they wreathed my life
less clay
And my many Ways extolled.
And l thought, as l lay on my silent
bier,
"They are fools to waste on me
The words that a dead man cannot
hear
And the wreaths that he cannot
see"
Nixon Waterman in Success.

THE PLAN.

Fer ever a harvest was garnered,
Err ever seed was sown.
Fer ever the earth to flower gave
birth,
The scheme of it all was known!
For the earth was filled with its forces
And all are but slumbering keys
To be wakened by man in the infinite
plan,
For he is the master of these!
And sure, as the mind awakens
To the Vastness of its reign.
AS it searches and scars unto unknown
shores.
Its labor is not in vain!
For as the keys to the master
Answer in keen delight,
So has the world its glory unfurled
To the man who has lived upright!

ENDLESS PRAYER CHAIN.

The Denver Post prints the follow
ing prayer which it has received from
some endless chain fiend. The add
ed advicss accompany the strange
messenger of the mails;
"Oh, Lord, Jesus Christ, we implore
Thee, oh, Eternal God, to have mercy
on all mankind. Keep us from sin
and take us to be with thee eternally.
Amen.
This prayer was sent by Bishop
Lawrence, asking the person, to whom
it was sent to rewrite it and send it
to nine other persons. He who will
not say it will be afflicted by some
misfortune.
"One person, who paid no attention
to it. met with a dreadful accident.
He who will rewrite the prayer for
nine days and send it to nine other
persons, commencing on the day 1t is
received, and sending only one each
day, will, on or after the ninth day
experience a great joy.
AT Jerusalem. during the Holy
Feast is was said: He who will re-
write this prayer will be delivered
from all calamity
please do not break the chain.
ITO the Editor of the Post: 1t /!
needless to say that the above wa'
received by me, and, as I am comply
ing with the request | count You on'
of the nine persons to whom l sen(
it," (No signature.)
The editor, not wishing to NEE
some terrible calamity, herewith put
the letter before the eye of at leas
| 10000 times nine persons. 1t is inter
esting to note that we have the fiji
teenth century in the beginning of tn

CHAMBERLAIN'S PROMISE.

The news from Salem is that the
last remaining dollar of the school
fund has been loaned, and that more
than four millions of it is now at in
terest.
Four years ago more than 100000
of this fund was in the state treasur-
er's hands, yielding no interest to the
school children, the interest on the
sum. any there was, going into the
pockets of the treasurer.
1t was then that Governor Cham
berlain began an agitation of the sub
ject, promising the people In his
campaign addresses that If elected
governor. he would see that this
money should be loaned in the name
of the state and the proceeds be set
aside for the public school children.
Governor Chamberlain was elected,
and the dispatches from Salem show
how well he has kept his promise. The
answering fidelity with which he
stands in every crisis and on every
occasion for the interests of those who
placed him in high position, is what
makes the executive office an honor
to Governor Chamberlain, and Gov
ernor Chamberlain an honor to the
executive office.
What he has done in this one ac'
for the schools and school children OF
the state is alone sufficient to win fol
him the applause and esteem of every
citizen of the commonwealth.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE COMING.

Women's suffrage must be coming
when we see it favored from two such
opposite quarters as the Russian rev.
oluticnists and the Catholic church.
Bishop McQuaid, of Rochester, one of
the most honored of the Catholic blsh-
ops, says:
Nothing counts in the United
States but votes. The time will come
when women will vote, and then we
will see the greatest voting the world
ever saw. We are not afraid OF wo-
man suffrage. Our women will save
the day for us."-Woman's Tribune.

the Doctor believes that proper course
of treatment would save life or prolong
It, he has taken hold of the case with
perseverance, and skill, and we venture
TO say that not one case In a hundred

SUGGESTIVE FOR HUNTING SEASON
A Humorous Neizhborins Editor Makes

John White, In his humorous Round
Town" corner In the Marshfield News:
The hunting season was declared open
| September 1, and the fool and his gun
| and the wise man and his gun are scour-
| ing the woods for anything that looks
like game, and most everything does.
It's funny isn't 1t how cussedly care
less some fellows will get when once
armed with q gun and q licensef IL
the qualifications Of a hunter were
jcdged before q license was granted
there wccid ue less hunters and con-
sequently less accidents and funerals.
Anybody that has the price can get a
license, age, color, sex or previous con-
dltions being no bar. From an under
takers standpoint the open season for
shooting game, land an occasional COM

could the undertaken liver Judging
from past records the number of killed
and wounded during an open season by
careless practices is unwarranted, and
there should be some way of protecting
the public. We believe the applicant of
hunting license should pass an exami-
nation. For instance If he could ans
wer the following questions to the salts.

makes application for license, then he

NEARBY RAILROAD SPECULATION
What Does Survey 10 Cashtan and On
tario Mean?

Surveyors of the Southeastern rail-
road company surveyed from Coon
Valley to Cashton, last week, and then
east toward Ontario II Is not known
where the company intends to survey
to, or why they branch eff in this d.
rection from their terminus at Viroqua.
No doubt, q road could easily be built
from Coon Valley to Cashton by way of
Timber Valley, and 1t would also be
easy to go down Brush Greek east of
here. 1t may be possible they want to
connect with the Northwestern or with
the kickapoo road at Ia Fargo. In con-
Meeting with the first named road Of
Norwalk they could save a great deal
of expense by using the old Northwest
ern grade. which was put in some Years
ago by w. II H. Cash. Considerable

THE RACE MEET.
1t is unfortunate indeed, that Viro-
qua fair seldom secures good field of
race horses. and 1t is almost uuaccount.
able why 1t should be so, This year
was not an exception. In the whole
program there was but two or three
races that could be classed as interest
ing. Three or five horses were the aver.
age starters. While there were some
fairy good contests there was the gen
era feeling that most of the contests
were simply to fill and get the money.
Because of the limited number of horses
it was necessary for officers TO submit to
almost anything in order to give patrons
of the fair program, Following is the
summary of the races
