He Did His Best.

It is said that Marshall Field was so
proud of nothing else as of the fact that
when he was youth, long before he be-
came rich and famous, he was the best
dry goods clerk in Pitts6eld, Mass.
1t may not seem to most people that
dry goods clerking is a very straight road
to great fortune. But Marshall Field
found it such. 1t matters little what
ones work may be. Being the "best" at
it is bound to lead one upward.
Fields first job was small in the COM
mon eyes of the world as compared with
his later work, but he was wise enough
always to know that it was the most i'm
And as he did that we'll he nodded his
character, opened his life to opportunity
and made himself master of fate.
1t was little thing, but he did it the
best he could, and in doing his best he
brought forces into play which gave his
mind the upward turn that brings it in
to touch with the divinity and makes il
an element of resistless power.
The youth vino has learned to do his
best is more than half way along the
road to success.
Doing ones best gives a sense of com
pleteness, of efficiency, of being master
of ones work, not slave to it, and OF be
ing equal to any possible emergency.
With all his commercial achievement
that has made the world wonder, will
all his millions of money, with all thu
satisfaction that comes with realization
that honor and reward have been vel
earned, the old man still found his great
est pride in the fact that when it hat
been his humble business to be goo(
clerk he had done his best.
Doing ones best crowds any life full
of success, and the satisfaction at last o
having done it is the richest reward thi
world can give.- Milwaukee Journal.

In ORDER to make the results of it's
experiments of as wide-reaching applica-
ton as possible the University of Wis
consin experimental station has just es-
tablished three experimental farms in
northern Wisconsin. This step will
doubtless be the beginning of system
of experimental farms at various points
at which typical conditions for the diff
ferent agricultural areas of the state
may be studied. Besides the investiga-
tive side of the work, these farms will
make possible the practical demonstra-
tion to the farmers of the surrounding
country of principles already worked out
at the central station at Madison. Since
in other states the plan of establishing
sub-stations by purchasing land and
erecting buildings has not met with un-
qualified success, it seemed advisable in
Wisconsin to follow another plan, that
of establishing experimental farms for
particular purposes. These three farms
have been rented for limited term of
years with the option of renewal, and
the farmer owning the land is employed
to carry on the work under the direction
of the experime ntal station officers. In
this way it is unnecessary to eXpend
large sums of money for the erection of
buildings or for machinery and tools
with which to carry on farm operations.
1t is therefore possible to secure maxi
mum of results with minimum of ex-
penditure, and to discontinue the opera
ton of an experimental station when the
purpose for which it was tablished is
accomplished.

The governor of Wisconsin has ap-
proved OF April 7, 1906, as the date for
the dedication of the monument erected
by Wisconsin on Shiloh battlefield at
Pittsburg Landing, Tenn. Comrades of
the 14th, 10th and 18th Wis. Vol. Inf.
and such other comrades as would like
to go to Shiloh then, are requested to at
once report their full names, with cor
rect postoffice address, to Capt. F. FL.
Magdeburg, Prest. Wis. Shiloh Mon.
CON- Milwaukee, Wis, so that when all
arrangements are completed and cost of
transportation is fixed, each one can then
be fully informed by circular letter on
these all important subjects. Probable
cost of round trip will be about forty
dollars from points in Wisconsin, and
time consumed about one week. All
comrades and their families are cordially
invited to participate.

The western farmer is becoming more
and more a travelling man. This in the
sense that he takes part of each year
to look about and see what his brother
farmers are doing, visits his state exper-
iment station, agricultural school, and
the big farms 10 his section. Such a
journey will teach man more of sue
cessful farm management than he can
gain from talking with his immediate
neighbors through years. The farmer is
studying the situation quite as thor
oughly as does the business man. Farm
ing is the broadcast businessin the world
and consequently every successful farm
er has something to contribute to every
other farmer

"How much can a lawyer earn in Il
week." is a question agitating the curl
Gus at present up at Madison. Mr.. Len
root 'assisted" short time in defending
the states claim against the railroads on
the new ad valorem law, and Governor
La Toilette allowed his "bill' at $4,000
AS this is all that the attorney general is
paid for years service it is thought by
some to be better pay than the service
called for. II Mr. Lenroot should be
elected governor he might be a rather
expensive find" Then Mr.. Cheynowith
was paid $l3,500 for his work on the
same case, but Of course he was at it
longer. Doubtless reform" is a good
thing and we ought not to kick though
it makes US sweat blood to pay for it,

This is the Record in 4ollney Adams
Sawyer" the Big New England
play From New York.

If all the world loves a lover it Is
equally true that all theatergoers en-.
Joy lovers on the stage who are given
to osculatory demonstration. There
have been many famous kisses on the
stage. The first one Of note was the
Emma Abbott Kiss and more recently
there has been the Nethersole-C Carmen
kiss. Most people would not give the
sna Of a finger for a play in which
they could not see the hero make love
to one or more pretty women; they
live to see the mindulge in osculatory
exercises as often as the story Of the
play may permit. The great New Eng
land lay. Quincy Adams Sawyer"
which is attracting crowded houses
everywhere, takes its name from a
wealthy and young Boston lawyer
who goes into the country for his
health and charms all the village girls.
In the play this young hero beats the
stage record for kissing. His kissing
opportunities in the first and second
acts may be limited, but with his os.
culations Of the third and fourth acts
he more than makes up for his def
clencies in the previous two acts.
In the third act one may find good
study in the art of kissing. Quincy
Adams Sawyer" is at q good old-fash'
toned h1sklng.bee and when he finds
a red ear, takes great pleasure evident
Iy in carrying out the penalty of kiss
ing every girl present. He goes from
the free from care kiss to the reverent
salute he presses on the brow Of the
blind girl Alice Pettenglll. The actor
who plays the role told an interviewer
in New York recently that the kissing
he had to do was fearful bore. He
looked upon it as having to do so
much kissing for so much week. The
complains because the management
gave him number of extra girls to
kiss in the husl1ing bee scene.
"Quincy Adams Sawyer" will be pre-
scented at the Grand Monday, Decem.

Busy at Rescue Work

Pensacola, Fla, Oct. 2.--After. a
restless night Pensacolans awoke on
Tuseday morning to renew the work
OF rescue and rebuilding, and thetlat-
ter is being pushed vlgcfodsly, With
assurance from all of the large firms
destroyed that their plants will be
restored and on a more extensive
scale. Realizing the condition of the
city, Governor Napoleon B. Broward
OF Florida Tuesday wired to Mavor
Charles H. Bliss extending through
MIN the sympathy of the people of
the state to those in Pensacola over
the devastation and wreck wroue ~.
by the hurricane, and in his telegram
the governor stated that If the citi-
zens desired that he would imqnedi.
ately issue proclamation calling
upon the people of the state and the
outside world for assistance. AS yet
the offer has not been accepted, the
city believing it can pull through with
out assistance from the outside.
The chamber OF commerce and city
officials have Jointly formed relief
committee and have raised thousands
of dollars for the care of the worthy
In addition the citizens have donated
food and clothing and the poor of the
city are being well cared for under
the circumstances.
ProBably at no time since the hur-
ricpne have the people been given
such fright as Tuesday morning,
when official news came from Wash
ington of the appearance of another
disturbance off Cuba and near the
point where the one which wrought
AAo+h aud destruction to Pensacola
