High School Notes.

High school opened Nom a /,
Sept. 3rd with an enrolment of
SO girls and 40 boys making a total
Of lat students. This is the largest
attendance the High school has had
for years.
The faculty remains unchanged
from that of last year with one
exception. Mr.. Patterson takes the
place Of Mr.. Rasmussen as teacher
Of Mathematics and History. Mr..
Patterson's home is in Baraboo. He
is graduate of the State University
and comes we'll recommended as to
scholarship.
A meeting of the students in
terested in Athletics was held Mon
day evening and the athletic pros
poets for the coming year were dis
cussed. Prof. Slothower addressed
the meeting for few minutes
advising as to how to carry on this
work in order to make it successful
in every way. 1t was decided to
postpone the election of officers
until q new constitution for the
athletic association was drawn up.
A committee for this purpose was
named and Tuesday evening they
presented their constitution. Some
changes were made and several new
clauses proposed and voted to be
inserted.
The prospects for good football
team this year are very promising.
Five members Of last years squad
are back IN school. Prof. Patterson
will coach the team this year and
he and Capt. Sitter with the Co
operation Of the entire student body
will endeavor to turn out winning
team.

Weather For Septemb r.

If Rev. Ira Hicks can guess any
where near right on the weather
conditions it WOULDN'T be amiss to
lay in supply Of rubber coats and
rubber boots for he has many
storms predicted for the remainder
of this month.
From the 9Th to 9Th occurs a
period of storms which may be fol
lowed by frosts. A regular period
of storms which may extend from
the 10th to 18th and these disturb
ances are also likely to be followed
by colder weather. From the 18th
to 18th series Of storms will sweep
over the country bringing much
rain, and wind and hail are apt to
visit several sections. Again on
the 23rd to Goth occurs another
series OF storms. Look for tropical
c )nditions bringing rain wi and
thunder A reactionary disturb
ance is central on the 295n ami 30tb,
causing low barometer and general
change to storm conditions s
September goes out.

Mere Mans inconsistencies.

Men are queer. Wouldn't there
be roar when they went home to
their meals if they had to climb up
on a high stool in front of a table
on which there was no cloth and
eat their meals in that fashion? Yet
a majority of men when they go to
a restaurant to eat will pick out the
high stool and the feed board with
no cloth on it in preference to a
comfortable chair and a cloth
covered table. A man will borrow
a chew of tobacco and most of them
will set their teeth into the plug
right over where some other man
had knawed out a chew. Offer him
a piece of pie at home from which
his wife or one of the children had
taken a bite and he would holler
his head off. At home he will not
drink out of glass or cup from
which someone Of the family has
been drinking. Call him into the
back stall of a livery barn, pull out
bottle and he will stick the neck
of the bottle halfway down his
throat in order to get a swig after a
half dozen other fellows have had
the neck Of the bottle in their
mouths.

Pumpk rs and Grapes Early.

Pumpkins are ripe or nearly so
Not in the memory of the oldest in
habitant has this ever occurred be-
fore thus early. And what seems
stranger still Concord grapes are
ripe, too. That's growing some.
Pumpkins are not due for six weeks
and still they are here-great, vel
low fellows, fine and mellow. And
Concord grapes don't usually take
on the deep purple lustre until
along the middle of September, but
they are as ripe and luscious now
as in the nippy, frosty mornings OF
the fall. At the present rate, Christ
mas plum pudding is looked fol
along about the frat of November,
but New Years is not expected
earlier than usual.

Two Kinds of Congressman.

Young Mr.. Cochems Of MilwaU-
kee who ran for the Republican
nomination for congress in the
Fifth district in opposition to Mr..
Stafford, several times in his politi-
cal addresses criticised the latter
because he seldom is heard in debate
on the floor. A very pointed and
apt reply was made by Congressman
Stafford, however, who says,
There are two kinds of representa-
tives, the member who legislates
and the member who talks
There is a good deal Of truth in
this assertion, and the implied
rebuke to the young and garrulous
Mr.. Cochems is well deserved.
Moreover the Indications are the
Republicans Of the Fifth district
decided to stick to the member who
can legislate, rather than take a
chance with one whose chief claim
for preferment seems to be that he
can make more noise than the
other fellow In other words while
they are willing to acknowledge the
gift of CAB is a good thing, especial
ly if it is accompanied by the
futher qualifications of brains and
common sense, nevertheless the
man who is able to get there" in
real accomplishments is frequently,
if not generally, the one who knows
enough to keep still unless he has
something of importance to say.
AS a matter Of fact some Of the
most influential members who ever
appeared in congress have been
men who seldom if ever were heard
In public debate. A notable lllustrc-
ton of this was the case of Senator
Sawyer, who probably never made
a set speech in his life, and yet who
exerted a powerful influence on his
colleagues IN congress. When he
did have anything to say it was
always brief and decidedly to the
point, and as a consequence his
opinions and judgment were always
valued to far greater extent than
those of many others who were
always to talk it out.

Value of Printers Ink.

Another instance of the value OF
advertising when you want any
thing was shown at the recent
primary election when AL Bud
worth of Lancaster landed the
nomination successfully for the Of
flee Of sheriff.
OF the several candidates Mr.
Budworth spent as much money
with the newspapers of the county
as all the rest OF his competitors
put together, we believe. At least
his name was given more publicity
and the result is now known.

Fail Millinery Styles.

when the ladies Will begin tC
wonder what to wear in the mil
linery line, and friends aud MILL
ners will be consulted as to what
will be appropriate. With this fact
III view, we give below some of the
advance ideas Of what are to be on
exhibition in the millinery stores
for the fall season. This forma-
ton comes in advance of the first fall
showing, but is authentic.
AS to hat shapes, both large and
small designs will be popular, The
large hats will be more in favor IN
this country, although the new hats
that are being sent over FROM Paris
are invariably small. Americans,
however. like large hats and are
not to be blamed. They are usually
more becoming and give more of an
air of grace and charm to the
wearer. 1t is needless to say there
Will be plenty of large hats to Sc
lect from this season, and for those
who like the smaller shapes there
will be no complaint as to variety.
The fad of the moment is the
Vesta lilly hat-wide brimmed
sailor with a high crown. This hat
has had a remarkable run during
the summer in straw, but it is even
more pleasing in felt shapes. The
t4ainsborough sailor combinations
will be in high favor One may
have these with crowns that are
high, low, broad, narrow, square
or dome, and the hats may be
perched high or low upon the head
of fancy dictates. As a rule, the
smaller the hat. the higher the
bandeau that sets it up behind for
the reason that to be at all becon-
ing small hat must be much
trimmed, and the only place for any
amount of trimming is on the
bandeau. But then it is going TO be
pretty much as you please" season,
and one may select whatever is be-
coming to ones personality.
In colors, hunters green, garnet
in very dark shade and brown are
very much in the fore. Some of
the fashion authorities claim that it
is going to be a brown fall; indeed,
the shades now popular, running as
they do to cinnamon and very light
tans, are particularly warm and be-
coming. Among the new color eff
fects are brown combined with such
colors as Du Barry pink, peacock
blue, green and shade called
mahogany brown.
Black hats must not be forgotten
and they are being shown in abund-
ance. Pale pinks, blues and tans
are also we'll thought Of.
novelty Of the season is the
Scotch plaid effects which are
shown in a variegated range of
styles, the principal effect of which
is that Of modified Scotch tam,
only great deal more becoming.
Great quantities of ostrich feath-
ers will be used. Black and white
are the chief favorites, although
there are many handsome color eff
fects. Fancy feathers and made"
wings and birds will be in great
demand. 1t is we'll to say at this
iuncture that the wholesalers are
selling nothing in the bird line that
will conflict with the bird law that
is now in effect. There are some
pretty colors shown and birds are
manufactured and skillfully colored.
OF much importance in the sea-
sons trimmings will be flowers and
fruits. There are some pretty colors
shown, but you cannot imagine
what frightening effect these
winter flowers add to stylish mil
linery.
