Martins Revenge.

A correspondent tells the story Of
two house martins nests built against
an attic window Of farm, to which
the birds came for several successive
years. Last spring. however, before
they arrived, sparrow took up her
abode in one of the nests.
Shortly after the martins returned
as usual, and one day the farm people
noticed that the hole of the nest
which the sparrow occupied had been
blocked up. Next morning a boy
climbed up to ascertain the meaning
of this, and not finding any outlet
broke away part of the nest, to find
the poor little sparrow dead on her
eggs.

naval officer in Washington, believed

bachelors were held up to scorn by
him.
"Strolling with him in New York

Admiral Walker hailed the young man

Perhaps you are trained to believe
there is no honesty in this world.
There is, although you may not be

STATE GOOD ROADS CONVENTION
Plan to make it Largest Meeting of
Farmers Ever Held in State.

Every town chairman in the
state has been appointed a del
egate to represent his town al
the Good Roads Convention in
Milwaukee Sept. 18th. With
this appointment has been sent
a card on which to make nomina-
tion for other delegates from his
town.
A highly representative gath
ering from all parts of the state
is thus assured and the influence
of this body on the future of
roads in Wisconsin will be very
important. Such convention
of persons interested in roads
will exert tremendous influence
in their local towns toward
more public spirited interest in
roads.
EVerybody's business is usual
ly nobody's business and the
roads of the state have suffered
from this worse than other de-
partments of public work When
the interest of the people is
aroused this condition will rap
idly change. Relativ,, to the
State Convention, Senator Geo.
B. Hudnall states that it is a
very good way to arouse the in
terest of the people and adds:
''If we are to have better roads,
the first thing necessary, strange
as it may seem, is to interest
those who would be most direct
ly benefited by the betterment
of the roads"

Home Study Course.

The same generation of farm
ers that has accepted the tele
phone and the rural mail deliv
cry as necessities has welcomed
the "book farming" on Agricul.
ture that many of their fathers
ridiculed. The Farmers Insti-
tutes, the Short Course in the
Agricultural College at Madison,
have all paved the way for a
new and radical departure in
helping farmers, which has just
been started by the University
of Wisconsin.
This is "home study" course
which treats of such practical
problems as 1.-The place of ami
NAL husbandry in the economy
of the farm; the selection of
land; the selection of crops and
the planning of the system of
crop rotation; intensity of cul-
ture; size of farms; prices of
farm products; the rent of land
profits due to the superior abiIi-
ty of the farmer; the tenant
problem in America; the Eng
lish method of solving the ten
ant problem" !" and similar ques-
tions which cover both matters
of detail on the farm and those
which require broader outlook.

YOUNG MAN ACCIDENTALLY SHOT
Albert Rautenburg Meets With Seri.
Gus Mishap While Hunting.

It's the old, old story over again.
Albert Rautenburg, an eighteen-year-
old boy of Lafayette township, was
out hunting Sunday with number Of
companions. While chasing a rabbit
or some other animal up the Kuehnel
ravine he dragged his gun behind him,
his hand ahold of the muzzle. Care
lessness, you will say. and that's just
what it was. The trigger struck
piece of underbrush, the load was dis
charged and the shot took effect in his
shoulder, at the same time setting fire
to his clothing. This latter mishap
proved to be by far the more serious
of the two, for before help could reach
him and his coat could be removed his
back and shoulders had been terribly
burned. The gun shot wound proved
to be mere scraping of the flesh, but
from the blistering effects of the burn
ing it will be long time before he
will totally recover.

DOG GUARDS HIS MASTERS BODY
Finds a One Hundred Dollar Roll
and Brings 1t Home.

Hugh Brown, farmer living near
Fairmont, has hunting dog that
possesses rather more canine sagacity
than can be claimed by the average
dog. A few days ago while going
home from the city, Mr.. Brown lost
a roll of bills amounting to 800. AL
tho ugh immediate search was made
nothing could be discovered Of the
missing money. Some time later Mr..
Brown noticed that the dog had made
new sleeping place for himself near
the barn. Attracted by curiosity to
the dogs nest, he found his money
there intact. 1t is supposed the dog
found the money on the road and
recognized it by scent as belonging to
his master. He carried it home and
was guarding it zealously, seeming to
realize that it was something of value.
1t is said that during the time the
money was in the dogs possession he
seemed very reluctant to leave his
sleeping place, and when Mr.. Brown
relieved him of his charge he seemed
greatly pleased. Another hundred
would not tempt Mr.. Brown to part
with the animal now.
