A teacher in an isolated school stu
ated in the cattle country of Wyoming,
where the children learn their letters
from the brands on cattle before they
learn the alphabet, was endeavoring to
teach her pupils the different sounds
of a as denoted by the marks above
the letter.
Now, children" she inquired hope

LUMBER SUPPLY is LIGHT.
Big Demand Reported at Superior and
Famine May Result Later.

FAMINE May Result Later.
Superior lumber leaders say the
demand for all kinds of lumber is go
ing to be very heavy during the com
ing season and that the great trouble
will be to supply the demand. At pres
ent there is trouble in securing cars
and this is especially true OF those
dealers who handle Western timber
which must be shipped from the coast
One firm received two cars last
week which were started out last De
cember, and that is the way 1t runs
The demand for this Western timber
especially the fir, is getting to be
enormous, and the calls for it come
from all over the country. A Superior
firm recently had a call from New Ha
ven, Conn, for some of this lumber.
The cut of lumber in this region will
undoubtedly fall short of the demand
this season, and practically the whole
seasons cut is already sold. The log
output will be short for various rea
sons. The chief one, however, is be
cause of the deep snow in the woods
and the lack of men in the early part
of the season.
A considerable amount of pulp
wood has been cut in the vicinity OF
the Head of the Lakes during the last
winter and several train loads are be
ing shipped out every day. The great
err part Of it goes to the Fox river val
ley region. The mills down there are
taking it as fast as it can be shipped
for they ran short about two months
ago, at the time of the big can short
age, and at one time the supply was
so low that the mills were threatened
with a shutdown

By Toning up the Blood and Nerves Pc
tient Recovered Weight, Strength
and Good Spirits.
When the nervous system is broken
down from overwork, or whatever cause,
life loses its joys. Not only is the ner-
vous victim sufferer himself but he is
usually trial to the whole family.
Nervous breakdown is often gradual,
appearing at first to be merely an unu-
sual fretfnlness. DR.. Williams Pink
Pills tone up the nerves in the most
direct way and not only cure minor
troubles but serious disorders as well.
Mr.. w. w. Munroe, of 16 Hazel Park,
Everett, Mass, says: About four years
ago this September / became all run
down from overwork and from confine-
ment to work during warm weather.
For two months grew steadily worse.

II grew very despairing, could not
bear to have people meet me and my
friends remarked on my condition.
About the middle of December friend
told me one day that he had tried DR..
Williams Pink Pills and found them
reliable. / commenced taking them and
at the end of two weeks the change for
the better was remarked by friends. l
continued using the pills until | was
thoroughly recovered. regard them as
fine remedy and make this statement
voluntarily in gratitude for the benefit
/ received from them"
These pills actually make new blood
and have cured such diseases as rheu-
matism, nervous and general debility,
indigestion, nervous headache, neuralgia
and even partial paralysis and locomotOr
ataxia. AS tonic for the blood and
nerves they are unequalled.
If you are sufferer from any disor-
der of the blood and nerves write for
proof of what DIR. Williams Pink
Pills have accomplished in cases similar
to yours. Every testimonial used by
this company is carefully investigated
before being published and is authentic.
Dr. Williams Pink Pills are sold by all
druggists, or direct by mail, postpaid, on
receipt of price, so cents per box, six

What Is Being Accomplished by

Madison, Wis, April TO- - Wiscon-

This Wisconsin state tax commits.
sion, reporting to the legislature last
night, denounced the common school
tax as illogical, wasteful and demon
alizing, as it is so distributed that
some sections of the state maintain
their schools by state funds and do
not have to levy any local tax for
school purposes The tax levy is
based on an assessment of the general
property and distributed according to
children, and consequently the rich
sections of the state pay for the poor
err sections schools. The tax commits
sion also decIaims against the present
general property tax system because

The railroads are still paying fees

TALK SESSION IN FALL.

There is some talk among the legis-
lators of adjourning until some time
in the fall or the first of next Janu-
airy. Many members favor simply
passing the necessary appropriation
bills and then adiourning. If there
should be a deadlock on the senator
ship some of them would be in favor
of putting that over until fall or Jan
uary. Also it is believed it will be i'm
possible to finish up the work by June
unless there should be wholesale
killing of bills.

crease the pay of members OF the leg
islature from $500 to $1,000 per SEES
sion. Senator Whitehead was the only
one to speak on the matter, brleny
stating his reasons for oppos-
ing it. He said that the proposition
was manifestly fair; that 500 does
not recOmpenSe a member Tor the
time and expense involved in his SER
vice as a legislator, but he expressed
serious doubts whether the doubling
Of the allowance would cause the state
to get any better men to make laws
than now, and he thought the class OF

than raised. The vote stood: For
$1,000 salaries, Barker, Bird, Brazeau,
Browne, Fairchild, Froemming, Hage-
meister, Hudnall, Husting, Lockney'
