The courses preparatory to jOurn-
aIism which the University of Wis
eonsin has provided for should at
tract a large number of students.
1t is not the intention to give in
struction in the technical details of
newspaper writing, but rather to
lay broad foundation for the work.
The course as published will be sup
plemented through the college year
with lectures by we'll known news
paper men who will give general
idea of the more technical portions
of the work. The course in journal
ism should attract many students
who do not contemplate making
newspaper writing a life work. To
learn to adopt the newspaper mans
disinterested point of view, to
acquire the ability to state an
observed fact simply and clearly,
and to learn to promptly and with
fairness and precision form and ex-
press judgement upon important
questions arising daily, should be of
enormous value IN any profession or
calling, 1t is because newspaper
work fits men for a wider range of
service than any other calling that
journalism ranks so high. And it is
through the acquisition of the
powers referred to that men are
lifted for wider range of service.
The Courses Preparatory to Jour-
nalism" will, it is confidently hoped,
develop into a school of journalism
which shall rank high throughout
the country. IF this comes to pass,
it will elevate and dignity the news
paper profession, as well as give the
university wider renown.

THE FELLOW FOUGHT.

land lay. No one dreamed that the
agreeable Mr.. Ernst had anything to
do with the depredati0ns, even when
it was noticed that the particular house
in which he lived was the one most
often plundered. Mrs. CUttle who
lives at that address, told one evening
how cleverly she had hidden a twenty
dollar bill where her husband, who
probably didn't want it, couldn't find
it if he did. The next day while she
was out the bank note disappeared, ana
in the evening Ernst was one OF the
crowd to whom she told her loss.
Mrs. MARITIME, who lives in the fiat
adjoining that of the ErnstS, heard
noise at her dumb waiter and ran to
see what it was She was just in time
to catch d glimpse of a man letting
himself down the rope at top speed. Il
should say, Mr.. Ernst" she remarked
in all innocence in the evening, ''that
he was about your height and build"
Ernst listened with little show of in
terest.
There had been a number of rObber-
les in the fathOuses in One Hundred
and Forty second street between Sew
enth and Eighth avenues. All the
janitors were alert. John Leonard,
who is in charge of the house at 2O9,
saw man acting suspiciously in the
hall and tackled him. The fellow
fought and might have escaped if Pc
liceman Murphy, who lives in the
house, had not run to Leonard's aid.
Even then it required the aid of others
to overpower the man, and he had to
be tied with ropes to be taken to the
One Hundred and Twenty-fifth street
police station There he admitted that
he was Ernst of EdgecOmbe avenue.
When he was searched chisel, pill
ers, five skeleton keys, lot of foreign
coin, forty seven pieces Of Jewelry, sew
eral unset diamonds, cuff bottoms and
a gold watch were found on him. The
buttons and watch bore the name Of
Charles Davis. Davis fat at 1898

of tobacco were found upon investiga-
ton eleven very distinct general types
of tobacco plants which were strong

characteristics of habit of growth.
shape and size Of leaves and quality to
be designated as incipient varieties.
Among these types was found one
which most nearly approached the
ideal of a cigar wrapper plant. both as
regards development of plant and
character of leaves and strikingly
different from every other type found
In this field or in other fields. This
was designated as TYPE No. 3" for
convenience In the breeding expert
ments and was so known until it was
considered Of sufficient Importance to
be named.
After very careful and satisfactory
tests in 1904 and 1905 the results have
proved beyond a doubt the value OF
this variety for growing commercially,
together with the fact that the seed
comes true to type year after year
when saved under bog. The name
Uncle Sam Sumatra was given to this
variety. 1t is a cigar wrapper variety
OF tobacco and adapted for growing
under shade in the cigar wrapper pro-
ducing regions. The plants reach an
average height of about eight feet at
the time of maturity, and they bear an
average Of about twenty-six leaves
before topping.
The cured leaves will average about
sixteen inches In width by twenty
inches in length, although the size va
ries according to field and cultural
conditions.
The yield Of the crops of this variety
is high, being as much as 1,6O0 pounds

THE POTENT REASON.
By DUNCAN N. SMITH

We cannot tell why we are caught by
girl
1t may be dimple. it may be a curl,
1t may be her shirt waist, it may be her
SMILE
It may be hint at the size of her pile
It may be all these. and again it may not.
The chances, however, concealed in the
plot
That makes US a mark and the talk of
the town
Is lurking the fact that she once turned
down.
Man longs good and strong for the things
he can't get.
On what is denied is his heart firmly set,
A horse or an auto, farm a pass,
But greater than all an ungettable lass.
He turns from the lady, though merry
and fair,
Who shows inclination his fortunes to
share,
Who praises his whiskers and takes his
advice
And goes to the one who is colder than
ice.
Though timid and shrinking. love thrives
on rebuffs.
At plain, easy sailing suspiciously snuffs
The damseI it may without effort secure
1t passes, not asking a game that is sure
Breaks hearts right and left without any
concern,
To have it's own crushed later on in re-
turn;
Turns oft from a beauty, a prize and
wit
To one much less favored who's Jared it
bit.
In this is no moral as far as 1 see.
But were there a moral here's what 1t
would be:
The ladies who want some particular
Should hand him hint like the jolt of a
train,
Play he is door mat in front of her den,
And she may be sure he will notice her
then,
And thus she may fasten her hooks on the
gent,
Provided, of course, she knows when to
relent. !

The women in the hundred or more
families whose homes are in the row
of yellow front apartment houses in
Edgecombe avenue, just above One
Hundred and Forty street, New
York city, can hardly realize that theiI
very agreeable neighbor, Edward Z.
Ernst, is suspected of being i bur
glar. But he was arrested after 4
fight in an apartment house in West
One Hundred and Forty-second street
in which fiat had just been looted.
1t is nine or ten months since Ernst
picked out the row Of yellow fronts as
Il good business site. There are seven
double houses in the row, and they
shelter more than 100 prosperous fam
lilies. < top fiat would make it pos
sible for him to pass unobseryed over
the roofs Of every house in the row
He applied for the top floor rooms in
the house at the northern end of the
row, Ill.
He began to make himself agreeable
to all the tenants in the row almost as
soon as he got his house to rights. He
circulated freely among the men and
women in the apartment houses and
was always to be found among the
gossipers on the front stOops of an
evening. He was full of tales of adj
venture. His very young wife talked
little. The only story she ever ven
tured to tell was of her husbands once
having almost frightened the wits out
of her," as she phrased it, by pretend
ing to be a burglar robbing his own
flat. The woman to whom she told
the story thought it amusing.
And then when their houses were
robbed they would tell him, among the
other neighbors, all about It,.
He had not been long among his new
neighbors before the series of battling
robberies began to occur The work was
always done in daylight and only the
'valuables that could be taken in small
parcels without observation were
touched. Mr.. Ernst was always around
among the crowd In the evening to
look for pointers and find out how the

Els Trade.

The heavy villain on the stage
Goes forth to Kill and STAY,
Cuts down with an unsparing hand
The actors in his way.
Oh, dear, I'd hate to have to be
AS mean as that for pay!
With poisons and a cleaning sword
He lays his victims low
And scatters with his busy hands
A large amount of woe,
Nor thwarted is his game until
The last act of the show.
At first he wins the heroine
With manners frank and bold,
BY telling her about his lands,
His titles and his gold.
Spectators who are on are sure
She soon will quit him cold
The hero, hot upon his trail
Like an avenging fate,
PursueS him, only to arrive
About a minute late,
But when the fatal moment comes
He wipes him off the slate
And so the heavy villain dies
In spite of schemes and strife.
He doesn't win the heroine
Nor get her for a wife.
He draws the kibosh good and strong
