TWO SIDES OF 1T.
Mother Was Tired, but She Did 1t
All for Daughters Sake.

Mother Was Tired, but She Did 1t
All for Daughters Sake.
For the whole week before the
Grantley's picnic Molly was on tlptoe
with delight The Grantleys were such
lovely people, and she had longed to
know them. Mollie's mother. watching
the girls happy face, thought proudly
that Stella Grantley was not bit
sweeter or prettier than Mollie. She
guessed folks would see 1t If they were
not blind.
Mollie, dancing into the kitchen
Tuesday afternoon. found her mother
ironing a white shirt waist suit.
20 mother" she said, reproachfuIly.
81 was going to do that!
81 thought mebbe you wouldn't get
back in time" her mother answered.
1T was ever so good Of you," Mol
lie returned, absently. Mother, I've
just thought-don't you suppose l could
make some OF those little spice cakes
before breakfast? know nobody else
would have anything like those"
why, guess you could" her moth
er answered.
"And stuffed eggs and chicken sand
wiches and olives" Mollie counted of
triumphantly. I'm not expected to
carry so much, but 1 wanted people to
know what things my mother could
make. Besides, do so want them to
ask me again.
"I sha'n't think much Of them IL they
don't" her mother declared.
That's cause you're mother" Mol
lie laughed, kissing her. "Then I'll
make the cakes before breakfast"
When she came down to breakfast,
however, the cakes were all ready.
Mollie did not seem greatly surprised;
she was, in fact, already dressed in her
white suit At nine the blackboard
came, and mother at the back door
watched her ride away. There was not
any girl so pretty as Mollie.
The day was one triumph for Mol
lie; she was quick and adaptable and
added much to the fun, and her sand
wiches and spice cakes were voted un-
surpassable. That was In the morning.
In the afternoon the sky darkened sud-
denly, and the horses were hurriedly
put into the blackboard; there was an
eight-mile ride before them, and but

SMALLPOX in PHILIPPINES.

Disease Almost Entirely Eradicated
by Vaccination.
The records of the bureau Of health
at Manila show that within the last
twelve months 213.OOO people have been
vaccinated by officials and many more
by private physicians When 1t is re-
membered that Manila's population Is
not more than 100000, it can be under
stood why, in the year ended Dec 81,
1904, there were only twenty seven
deaths from smallpox. Ten of the
twenty seven were Europeans or Amer
leans who had neglected or avoided
vaccination, says the New York Trib-
une.
During the Spanish regime a law ex-
listed making vaccination compulsory,
but the chief good which resulted from
the law was that the people became ac-
books and did not greatly object to 1t
or strenously resist its application at
the hands of the Americans. In a few
provinces difficulties were met. In
these cases vaccinators were at once
withdrawn and the pueblos left to
themselves. Within six months the con-
trast between the vaccinated and un-
vaccinated pueblos was so marked that
the chief men of the objecting munich
palities requested the vaccinators to
return.
AS smallpox is epidemic and pan
demic in the Philippines, the necessity
for q division of vaccination In the
board of health Is very great. The or
iginal plan was to organize a corps of
800 vaccinators. That number was con-
sidered necessary In order to vaccinate
the inhabitants Of the islands within
three years. Owing to the depleted con-
dition of the lnsular treasury, the COM
mission has been unable to authorize
the employment Of so large number.
and with the small number of men
available the question arises whether
vaccination will not have to be prac
ticed continuously for many years in or
der to immunize the 100000 inhabit
ants who are now in those Islands and
their offspring as 1t arrives.
Smallpox in the Philippines occupied,
prior to the advent Of the Americans,
about the same position in regard to its
frequency, its mortality and its preva
lence that 1t did in Europe prior to the
discovery of vaccination, and as was
the case In Europe, so in the Philip
pines, it seems to be almost disease
Of childhood. The explanation of this
is that all natives who have reached
adult age were exposed to smallpox In
childhood, and those who did not con-
tract the disease may be considered i'm
mune. Smallpox in Manila Is no longer
to be feared, according to the annual re-
port of the bureau of health for the
Philippine islands, and not so many
cases occur in proportion to its InhaD-
itants as In the cities of Washington
and Baltimore.

The BrOOks1de.


l wandered by the brookside,
I wandered by the mill,
l could not hear the brook flow,
The noisy wheel was still;
There was no burr of grasshopper,
No chirp of any bird,
But the beating of my own heart
Was all the sound heard.
l sat beside the elm tree,
1 watched the long, long shade,
And as it grew still longer,
did not feel afraid;
For / listened for football,
l listened for a word,
But the beating of my own heart
Was all the sound / heard.
He came not-no, he came Aot--
The night came on alone
The little stars sat one by one,
Each on his golden throne;
The evening air passed by my cheek,
The leaves above were stirr'd,
But the beating Of my own heart
Was all the sound l heard.
Fast silent tears were flowing,
When something stood behind -
A hand was on my shoulder,
knew it's touch was kind;
1t drew me nearer-nearer-
We did not speak one word,
For the beating of our own hearts
Was all the sound we heard

State of Illinois. The unpopularity of
Oscar DePriest, a colored man who
was candidate for one of the county
/ commissioners almost caused the de-
| feat of Mr.. Barnett for judge of the
Municipal court of Chicago. Mr.. De
! Priest was running on the same ticket
and the people knitted him all over the
city 1t is not determined as yet
whether or not this man Oscar De

The Corn Song.
Heap high the farmers wintry hoard
Heap high the golden corn F!
No richer gift has autumn poured
From out her lavish horn
Let other lands, exulting, CLEAN
The apple from the pine,
The orange from its glossy greecl
The cluster from the vine.
We better love the hardy gift
Our rugged wales bestow,
To cheer us when the storm shall drl1t
Our harvest fields with snow.
Through wales of grass and meads of fow-
ers
Our plows their burrows made,
While on the hills the sun and showers
OF changeful April played.
We dropped the seed DER hill and plain
Beneath the sun of May,
And frightened from our sprouting grain
The robber crows away.
All through the long, bright days of June
Its leaves grew green and fair,
And waved in hot midsummer's noon
Its soft and yellow hair.
And now with autumn's moonlit ewes
Its harvest time has come,
We pluck away the frosted leaves
And bear the treasure home.
There, when the SHOWS about US drift,
And winter winds are cold,
Fair hands the broken grain shall sift'
And knead its meal of gold.
Let earth withhold her goodly root,
Let mildew blight the rye,
Give to the worm the orchards trult'
The wheat field to the fly.
But let the good old crop adorn
The hills our fathers trod;
Still let us, for his golden corn,
Send up our thanks to God.

Had they done so democratic
state government would be in con-
troll in Madison today.
Even those who did vote with
their faction are today just as good
citizens and just as loyal to the
principles Of the republican party as
other. That they will vote in a
body this year for certain among
the candidates is an erroneous idea.
The members of that faction are
selecting their candidates according
to their own judgment Of the fit
ness of the men, as are the half
breeds
The candidate who gets the ma
jority of these voters support is
fortunate, but not to be blamed.
The lamentation over it comes only
from the rabid ones and not from
those Of good Judgment.

FOOLISH TALK.

What a bugbear the stalwarts
and corporations are sometimes
made to appear. In certain POLITICAL
circles in the state the assertion is
being londly made that any re-
publican candidate for office who is
given the support of the stalwarts
is betraying his party and is 10
better than a stalwart himself.
This sort Of talk sounds foolish in
the extreme. From a half breed
standpoint the stalwarts may have
been in error in putting up an indie
pendent ticket two years ago but
the voters in that faction Of the
party were not to blame for that
nor did they all vote FL that ticket.

The time has gone by when a
journalistic snarl or whine down On
newspaper row in Milwaukee or
elsewhere cuts any figure in state
politics. The back woods and plains
where the COWS chew their cuds
and the little red school house has
its latch string always out; where
nature breathes sigh Of relief that
all the earth is not under urban
control-here is where there is
something doing all the while.
Just watch the smoke Of the coun-
try.
The withdrawal of Senator Nc
Gillivray from the Republican CUB
ernatorial contest simplifes the
political situation and makes it now
a straight race between Governor
Davidson and Speaker Lenroot.

opportunity of voting for the pictur-
esque, outspoken senator from the
Black river country but Mac" was
too shrewd 2 politician not to see
even with all his optimism that he
would come out third, and probably
a poor third at that, and wisely
withdrew.

Getting wealth and Spending r..

Wealth has not vet made the Ameri-
cans vicious but it certainly has made
some of them extremely foolish and
many of them vulgar. Throughout
the country from ocean to ocean there
are numerous centers Of sudden
wealth. Even the sleepy south has
awakened from her pleasant lethargy.
and a new south that cares not for
the old traditions but vaunts itself
upon its industrial activity and the dol
lars in its banks has arisen. EVERY
where money has come easily and in
consequence all the standards Of life
have been altered. Prophets who
raise their voices in warning are held
in derision. Get riches is the pre-
vailing principle Of America, and, hav-
ing got them, to spend them is the
equally prevalent American practice

Proof of His Standing.

A certain minister, who was famous
for Selling every opportunity to point
a moral, was walking one day with
one Of his parishiOners and eXpostu-
lating With him on account of his sin
full way; presently they came to a
place where ice had formed on the
walk, and the sinful mans feet flew
from under him, giving him a bad
fall
The minister quickly seized the
chance, and looking down upon him
said: ''My friend, you see that sin
ners stand on slippery Places
The sinful one looked ruefully up
and answered:
Yes, / see they do; but I can't."-
