A New York paper referred to sena- tor LaFollette as "a Wisconsin" and the New ycrlx Mail takes 1t to task and shows that the word used is not the proper one to discribe citizen of Wis consin. and that there is no authority for such a terminology However, when The Mail undertakes to find a proper term it can think of nothing better than Wisconsinner. and doesn't fancy that As to that. there are a number of States as badly of in this respect as Wisconsin is. A State whose name ends with the letter "a" natural ly takes on the "n" as terminal when referring to the inhabitants. Thus a citizen of Georgia is a Georgian. a citi- zen of Alabama Is an Alabaman. and so on, but quite a number of the names of States end with a consonant and then 1t is hard to find a suitable name for their inhabitants. Wisconsin isn't alone in its difficulty.

The Chicago Journal takes 1t for granted that Bryan will be the Demo- cratic nominee for President and is looking around to see wao will be his Republican opponent. It goes over the qualifications of Roosevelt, Fairbanks, Beveridge, Foraker, Taft. Shaw, Cum
 mins. LaFoIlette and Cannon, but as we read between the lines The Journal doesn't seem at all sure that any one of them can stand up against the Ne braskan. It sums up its conception of candidate by saying that he must be "a resident of Western State vigor- ous fighter, a man untalnted by cor poration contact, a statesman close to the people," All of which Is inter- esting, but there are two years yet be- fore nominations will be in order and several changes in men and sentiment may occur In the meantime.

THE ENGLISH TRANSLATION.
By Mand MInifred snence.

l Copyright, 1906. by Joseph B. Bowles. The Sophomore was drawing his hands leisurely out of the pockets oi his trousers, and reluctantly slowing away under his arm a small Greek lex icon, a textbook of Aristotle, and an English translation.
 The books, had been lying on the window sill for over a week, unheeded save when the maid f1icked the dust of them in the early morning
 The Sophomore fingered beside the open window. It was a fatal mistake for presently young girl came from over the fields across his line of vision footing the daisies lightly in her pas sage.
 She swung open the low gate care lessly and tripped into the rose garden among the butterflies.
 'Hello!' she cried, catching sight of the face at the window. Thought you were studying, Ralph"
 50 am," replied the Sophomore, ''or rather. so I'm intending. Whats it like out. Mollie?'
 She came close to the window and looked in upon him.
 'It's hot in the sun, and everything seems sleepy; but it's nice In the gar den-quite cool with a breeze, and the birds are talking-but. of course, you're studying.
 Yes, of course, Tm-studying," he answered.
 And you like studying-don't youY'
 'Yes-awfuIly."
 Its very good of you, then, to have denied yourself such great pleasure for over a week"
 Don't mention it"
 The girl took up the textbook which had fallen frcm Ralph's arm on to the window ledge.
 Its odd stuff to like so immensely. Who made it?" she queried, turning over the pages aimlessly.
 Aristotle"
 Who's hep
 "A great philosopher"
 "Oh"
 She moved away among the rose beds. She was pleasant to look at in her white summer dress. Even at the distance of the rose garden he could see how blue her eyes looked in the twinkling sunlight as he stood watch ing her.
 Again the young man took up the lexicon, the textbook, and the English translation. Sitting down. he opened the textbook. It smelt of tobacco. and showed pencil markings on the margin at intervals. For awhile he interested himself with turning over the pages, noting these.
 Half an hour later a servant handed him a thin, orange -colored envelope When Ralph had read the twelve brief words. he placed the books upon the window sill and went into the garden and round by the out buildings.

A BountffuI Barouees,

Baroness Burdett-Coutts recently celebrated her s1st birthday. Since, as girl of 23, the bulk of the vast fortune of the Coutts family was plac- ed in her hands she has iabored un- ceasingly to utilize It, for the benefit of mankind The poor children of the East end of London have been her especial care. while the Church of England has received largely of her bounty. But Baroness Burdett-Coutts' s charity has been so varied and exten- sive that it defiies enumeration. Charles Dickens was one of her ear Hest friends and advisers and 1t was under his guidance that she first vis- ited the most squalid quarters of Step- ney and whitechapel, now frightened by her benevolence.

In It's march to the pole the drama has reached Iceland. It Is a recent graft upon the intellectual life of the island, according to the London Globe. The first theater was founded so re- gently as 1897, and there Is only one in the island-at Reikjavik-but it has taken a firm root. The dramatic sea- son opens in October and closes nt the end of April, when the good folk go fishing. and the theater is open about three evenings a week. Bjorn- son and Ibsen are mostly drawn upon. but during the last season one or two native poets have recited their own compositions, which promise well. The municipality and the diet each subsi- dlze the theater to the extent of 800 crowns,

-
 Goats are not like men-they never butt in without a scent"
 Some women show their wrinkles b, trying to hide them. There are women in the world whc will not only take interest in a man but also his principal.
 straws show which way the wind olows-especially when you are wear ing them.
 When a man complains that his wife doesn't make bread like his mother by informing him that he doesn't make money like her father used to make. No, Agnes, the only information we can give you in regard to the stamp filtration is that the stamp is stuck on the letter.
 You can draw out a person and make him interesting-but sermon-never. fool and his mony are soon re- spected.
 Sometimes the strongest men can't hold their tongues.
 Any woman can keep a secret-go- ing.
 
 A COW isn't dressed because she has hooks and eyes.
 It is excusable hypocrisy for a man not to put his heart in it when cir cumstances compel him to say; Good morning. Judge!"
 Girls will consider heaven nice place if their robes can be modelled a la Empire.
 When honest people fall out thieves get their due in the form of law suit fees.
 A man can't be a legal light simply because he is lantern jawed.
 Too many crooks spoil the syste- matic robbery of the public
 When an editor prints kiss he pre- fers to read his own proof and even put the form in press.
 A man needn't be a sculptor to mould his character but he should be a darn good moulder.
 Overheard.
 Would you marry for a love of mon- Not if 1 coula get loan of money for love.
