Chippewa Falls-Congressma J. J.
Jenkins, in speaking about the fran.
ing of the state platform, had the fol-
lowing to sly in regard to congress
men having a voice in the matter:
1t would not be proper for me as a
cand idate for congress to express my
views as to what the gentlemen who
platform Of our party should consider
or do. Candidates for congress are
excluded from assisting in the making
of the state platform of their party.
Section %, chapter 451, of the laws Of
Wisconsin for 1903 authorizes candi-
dates for the various state Offices and
for senate and assembly to formulate
the state platform Of their party Can
didates for congress, as such, never
did, under the old practice, have any
voice in the making of the state plat
form Of their party. Section 3 of the
act referred to, providing how nom
ination papers should be prepared and
signed, separate state officers and rep
resentatives in congress and mention
them separately
Section 6, providing where nomi-
nation papers shall be filed, provides,
in subdivision !, as follows: For state
officers, United States senators, rep
resentatves in congress, etc, show
ing that the Legislature recognized a
substantial difference between candi-
dates for state Offices and representa-
tives, and excluded them from assist
ing in the making Of the platform"

bers of the Grand Army during the
last few years, has been presented
with splendid memorial by the ma

Madison.-That the season of 1906
has been a banner one for the farmers
of Wisconsin Is demonstrated beyond
doubt by the splendid exhibits OF
their products in the buildings de-
voted to these departments at the
state fair at Milwaukee. Never be-
fore in the history of the fair has the
number of exhibits been so large, the
general quality Of the products shown
so high, nor the variety so great In
the agricultural department the large
displays of potatoes and corn made,
perhaps, the best showing The corn
is pronounced by the superintendents
to be the superior of any shown here
tofore. An interesting feature in this
class is the exhibit Of corn grown by

How to Handle Your Horse.

Decision should never in handling
horses be confounded with unwise de-
termination to have things your way.
In this application it means the faculty
of doing the right thing at the right in
slant and may be cultivated by fire.
auent practice with all sorts Of horses,
and Of course no hands were ever de-
veloped by handling any one animal or
any one kind of q horse. It IS decision
that gives the hand the moment the
horse yields; that uses the rougEest
methods at a pinch, for hands are by
no means always delicate of touch !;
that illustrates the most determined at
tempts of kicker, rearer Or bolter; that
picks the best road; that makes the
animal carry himself to the best ad-
vantage for the purpose Of the moment.
Decision is very close to intuition in
effect. Decision dominates the stu
alton at many critical moments, and
the horse is quick to discern and to pre-
sumo upon its absence. There is no
such thing as safe partnership with a
horse. You must be the master or be
will be, to your certain future discom-
fiture.-F. N. Ware in Outing Maga-
zine

Goethe's Last Moments.

The story Of the deathbed Of Goethe
reveals striking picture Of fortitude,
artistic calm and intellectual activity
under the chilling dews Of death. The
information Is gathered from letter
written on March %, 1882, the day aft
er Goethe's death, by Fraulein Louise
Seidler, an art student and close
friend Of the poets family. On the
evening before his dissolution, with an
icy coldness taking possession Of him
and the death rattle beginning to be
audible, Goethe, with his charming
daughter.in-law by his side, would talk
of nothing but his pet theory Of color,
Of the treaty Of Basle, Of his desire
that the children should go to the thea
ter, of his plans for the near future.
AS sleep did not come with the night,
he called for q newly published volume
Of history, and covered his inability
to read 1t with joke. Even at I
o'clock the next morning, just three
and a half hours before he died, be
sent for a portfolio to talk optics and
was setting himself to classify some
papers when the last agony seized him.
He then lay motionless, notwithstand-
ing its violence, till respiration ceased
and the heart stood still.-London

SARDINES.
The Way They Are Cooked and Pre-
pared For Market.

The Way They Are Cooked and Pre-
pared For Market.
Sardines are caught in nets, and after
being we'll washed the heads are cut
off and the fish are sprinkled lightly
with salt. After lying for a few hours
they are placed on grids in rows almost
perpendicular The frames are then
placed in pans containing boiling olive
Gil. The oil is changed as soon as 1t
becomes too black and dirty for con-
tinuing the cooking process.
AS soon as the fish are considered
sufi iciently cooked, they are withdrawn
from the pans of oil and the grIds are
placed On the tables covered with zinc,
the surface Of the table inclining to-
ward a groove in the center. The oil
is thus carried to a vessel prepared to
receive it. Round the table stand the
women whose business it is to pack the
fish closely and uniformly in boxes.
The boxes being full, the fish are COW
cred with fresh oil and the lids are then
soldered down. Thus hermetically
sealed they are placed in iron baskets
and immersed in boiling water. The
smaller boxes are thus boiled for half
an hour and the larger ones somewhat
longer, in proportion to size Of box.
The fish are then ready for the market.

An InGenfoue Accusation.

'The favorite horse Of the Chinese
Emperor ISL" said Chinese states
man, died through negligence on the
part Of the royal master Of the horse.
The emperor was so enraged at this
that he drew his sword and would
have run the careless functionary
through the body.
"But the learned mandarin, Yen
tse, struck up the emperor's sword,
saying:
"'Sire, this man has not yet been
formally accused Of any crime. He de-
serves to die, but his accusation should
come first It is the law.
"'Well,' said the emperor, tell me
what he has done
Listen, you rogue said the man
DARN, turning to the trembling master
Of the horse-Ilsten to catalogue Of
your heinous offenseS. In the first
place, you have allowed horse to
perish that his majesty had Entrusted
to your care In the second place, it
Is on your account that the emperor
became so exasperated that he was
actually on the point Of disgracing
himself in all his peoples eyes by
killing a maa for the sake Of horse
Enough said the emperor, appre-
ciating the rebuke Let him 50. He
Is pardoned.'"

FIGHTING THE SEA.
Hollands Continuous Performance
In Preventing Floods.

Hollands Continuous Performance
In Preventing Floods.
Holland is a country of wooden piles
and dikes, for the people are perpetu-
ally fighting against the encroach.
ments of water. One building in Am
sterdam rests on no fewer than 1850
piles, though the dikes around the
town, which have been erected at enor-
NOUS expense, efectually prevent any
chance Of q food. The streets Of the
fourishing port of Rotterdam even are
frequently under water in the winter,
and in some parts Of south Holland
the people are compelled to do their
shopping in boats.
When the Zuyder Zee breaks on to
tie land, those who wade up to their
knees along-Sle streets Of a flooded
village meets.ll manner Of fish. This
is explained by the fact that the Zuy
der Zee, with its mud bottom, is liter
ally crammed with fnny tribes; and
one authority states that if it were
we'll scraped Of all its fish one year,
it would be full again the next.
The land Of Holland is really Of four
distinct levels, and from ten to twelve
feet between the highest and the low
est. To make the land dry, the water
is pumped from the lowest level to the
one Immediately above it, and so on,
until the water has been returned
again to the sea. a large number Of
engineers are specially engaged to look
after the dikes, and no less sum than
S2,50O,000 is expended every year in
keeping these Notifications against the
sea in proper repair

BAD CROP YEARS.
When Birds and Animals DO MOI

When Birds and Animals Do Noe
Mate at the Mating Season.
ssWhen birds and animals do not
mate at the mating season, it IS sign
that a bad year is coming sald 1arIn'
er.
'ouails, gophers, rabbits and SOUR
rels all refuse to mate IN certain
wears. These years afterWard Turn
ont TO be bad ones The qualis are
particularly weather wise. By instinct
tho little wild creatures know that for
lack Of rain or for some other reason
there is to be a grass famine and a
seed famine, and, instead of pairing on
and mating and setting up housekeep'
ing in little families Of two, they re-
main minated in the large bands IL
which they have flown al winter, lV-
inc. as it were, kind OF apartment
house life. That year inevitably turns
ont bad one, though the bachelor and
sp,nster quails, with a good deal OF
picking and scratching, manage to get
enough to eat. But to feed families OF
little ones in such a famine year would
be impossible.

the profit on the Blackstone celebra-

IN SUMNER IN ITALY.

The Natives Know How to Keep Cool
In Scorching Weather.
It's a summer in Italy; the hot, white
roads radiate heat as do the blank
faces Of the houses. There is not a
soul stirring at this hour except a
party of sightseeing Americans; they
are evidently mad, for they do not keep
in the shade, which, from the Italian
point Of view, is far more lacking in
intelligence tAan not knowing enough
to go in when it rains"
1t is interesting to note that while
the summer beats down pitilessly until
Italy is seethed in 4 white heat the
death rate from heat prostration is far
less in proportion than with us in our
more temperate climate, and for the
reason that the Italians walk religious
" on the shady side Of the street, If
anything takes them abroad before the
cool Of the day; and that every man,
woman and child for whom it IS pos
sible spends the middle Of the day in
COOL costume 1nQOOrS.
Fortunately it is possible for the ma
jority, for during the hot weather many
factories give two or three hours for
the nooning, and that is why our town
presents the appearance Of deserted
village.
In the latter part Of the afternoon
the evening breeze springs up and the
town awakes and resumes the work
which was begun in the early morning.
If you happen to dine in the garden OF
the little Hotel Italia and stroll around
the garden after dinner, you may, by
following up one Of the gravel walks,
come upon q sort Of out Of doors room
screened off from the garden by close
growing eyergreens and shaded by tall
trees.
An acetylene gas jet sheds q strong
light on table and there, out Of doors
in the cool Of the evening breeze,
woman is ironing. The irons are
heated by two tiny charcoal fires made
in eartnen braziers, which resemble
large square fowerpots. Annunciata
does not need range standing six feet
In its stockings to heat her four irons.
It is doubtful if she has ever seen
such a range in her life, for, though
she is the cook Of the hotel, to which
is attached a restaurant, and many
people take their meals there daily, she
uses less fuel in her cooking arrange
ments than the average American fam
lily would use to cook its simple meals.
In the cool OF the morning she folded
and sprinkled her clothes, did the
morning work early and then rested.
Now she sings as she works in the
fresh evening air. Although people
are dining at the stone tables in the
garden, she is as remote from them as
II she were working in hot kitchen.
There is lesson to be drawn from
these two pictures, and that is that we
Americans are often sacrificed at the
altar Of our own prosperity, and go
through life wearily carrying on our
backs load Of modern Improvements.

To 1nsure Privacy OF Nail.

better. After fastening down the Zap

The Creole.

A pure creole is a person born II
Louisiana Of French or Spanish par
ents. It IS a mistaken idea to suppose
that a creole has negro blood IN his
veins. A creole negro is one whose
forefathers were owned by the early
French and Spanish settlers and who
spoke a corruption Of those languages
known as "gumbo." Their descend
ants are the creole negroes and should
never be conficted with creoles in the
