Big Price for Berkshire Hog.

The department Of animal husbandry
of the University of Wisconsin college oil
agriculture has sold a choice Berkshire
boar, Star Masterpiece End, No. $685., to
81. G. Taylor, Orfordville, Wis, for the
extraordinary sum Of 81 600. This price,
it is believed, is the highest ever paid for
hog bred and developed 10 Wisconsin.
The fact that ia the University herd
there are now over forty animals which
are the offspring of Star Masterpiece
End. and that there are also other ami
mails of noted strains being matured, led
the university to part with this noted
sire. Star Masterpiece End was bred by
Mr.. Taylor and was acquired by the uni
versity when two months old. The
breeding OF the big Berkshire with his
promising characteristics gave assur-
ance Of his developing into an animal of
unusual merit. The manner in which
be has been cared for and developed
SINGS his acquisition by the university is
responsible in no small degree for his
value. His pedigree reveals to one ia
miliar with Berkshire breeding that in
him is concentrated the best blood Of
the breed. Breeding which combines
such meritorious animals as those which
appear in the pedigree of Star Master
piece End gives emphasis to the impor-
lance of exercising the most careful
judgment in selecting and mating in or
der to obtain the most valuable results

To Test the Merits of OIL.

The same old controversy as to which
brand of kerosene oil is the best and
most economical is still agitating the
public mind. 1t is no doubt a fact that
the people of Edgerton don't care so
much about the price they pay as the
quality OF the oil they get. Various oils
are placed before the public view and
each has its patrons and friends, but the
question of which is best remains unde-
cided To settle this question the diff
ferent oil companies are arranging a
public demonstration at some conven-
lent place 10 the city to have the merits
of their respective products thoroughly
tested and proven. The decision could
be left with committee of competent
citizens, so that the people might know
who is marketing the best kerosene.

VERDICT FOR MORRIS HAHN.
The Milwaukee Road Held Liable for Mrs
Hams Death.

Sc
Hams Death.
8 Mrs. Morris Hahn, who was killed bv a
train on the st. Paul road at Edgerton,
could not have avoided the accident, ac-
cording to the verdict of jury in the
circuit court Friday. Mr.. Hahn has sued
the railroad company for damages for
the death of his wife, but the case at
bar was to determine whether or not the
defendant is responsible for the killing
of two horses and the destruction of pro-
duce which Mrs. Hahn had in the wagon
at the time of the accident. The amount
of damages, it damages really occurred,
was determined by the attorneys on both
sides at $3.50. Judge Stevens then SUBJ
mltted to the jury this question::
Gould the deceased, Mrs. Hahn, by
the exercise of ordinary care, have avoid
ed the accident?"
10 this the jurors answered mo"
j. M. Clancy, one of the attorneys for
the defendant, Immediately moved to
strike out the word No and insert in
lieu thereaf the word Yes. He also gave
notice that if his motion is not granted
he will move to have the verdict set
aside and that new trial be granted.
The time of arguing the motion was not
set, this matter being left with the at
torneys whenever it is convenient for
them to appear.
This was merely test case and if the
court denies the motions of counsel for
defendant the suit for damage money
for'rthe death of Mrs. Eain will be
pressed. Mr.. Hahn claims $4,000 dam
ages.
Attorneys P. Fl. Martin and T. P. Sill
Norwood of Green Bay are counsel for
the plaintiff. Mrs. Hahn was sister of
Mr.. Sherwood. Madison Democrat.

ACTION WON THE FARMER,
Proof of Kindness Stronger Than Any
 Political Argument.

The ''one touch of nature" that makes the whole world kin" was added accidentally by a man who, when he was running for the legisla. ture, endeavored in vain to enlist by his argument the sympathies of a cer. tain old Irishman. This Irishman had great influence with his neighbors, and 1t was therefore with some disap- pointment that the political aspirants saw Patrick Halloran's expression of stubborn disapproval at the close of an hours conversation held close to the Halloran pigpen. In the end, however, Patrick and all his friends voted for the man. and one day. when his election was secure. the represent ative called again on Mir. Halloran T thought you were against me.

NOT JUST Ar THAT TIME,
Editor Thought He Could Get Along Without Article.

The story is told of a writer who, through boldness in attacking the es. tablished order of things, had consid. erable vogue for a short time. In the midst of his notoriety he decided that he would contribute to a certain we'll known magazine. in whose pages he had not yet been represented. He waited on the editor. and found him immersed in some hurried writing. "Ah. MT. Blank" said the author, with that immunity from modesty which distinguished him, "you want an arti. cle from me-" "Indeed?" queried the editor. going on with his writing. "lndeed?" One article to begin with" pursued the author. And I am will. ing to do 1t for you in spite of much work" "1ndeed?" said the editor, as before. q should say followed up the author, that for such an article as I have in mind. startling and ori. ginal. I will close with you for q ,00o." The editors pen drove on. Close with mel" he murmured. Close! Will you kindly close the door as you 20 out?"

MAIL BRoAoENEp HIS VIEW.
Effect of Confederate Letters on Gen,
 Lew Wallace.

How the opening of mail bag full of captured confederate letters ap. pealed to Gen. Lew Wallace, and gave him a new insight into the feelings and motives of his opponents, is one of the occurrences narrated in his Autobiography" as follows: After dinner, soldier brought in bag tied, not locked. Mail he said, just found had him cut the string and empty the contents upon a table. They were letters unopened: the car. Tier had doubtless delivered them, then lied. I gave them to an officer for examination. Along towards even. ing he reported: There is nothing here of military importance. But his voice softened-'look of these. My mother might have written them to me. There are the same prayers in them for their side which we hear for our side-prayers, too, to the same God. I would like to know what you think of them And replied, after having gone through them: I acknowl- edge myself wiser of a new lesson. The people of the south believe they have cause; and certainly every one of them who is in the field soldering for that cause must be respected; he may be misguided. but he must be honest From that hour I have not ceased to act upon that principle.

Primary CoIors.

Primary colors are the colors into which white light is separated by the dispersion of prism. Those named by Newton are red, orange. yellow. green, blue. indigo and violet. Art. ists reduce these to three-red. yellow and blue. Scientists generally con sider red, green and blue to represent the primary color sensations, and in one theory there are supposed to be three sets of nerves in the retina which can respond to these three col OTIS. The idea of three primary colors is that from the combination of these three all hues may be produced which are to be found in white light.

National political issues will be dis cussed to greater extent during the
 present spring and summer than they
 were during the recent session in
 congress. This statement may seem
 odd, but it, nevertheless, is true. A
 change has come over the people of
 America in the last decade-a change
 that is particularly noticeable in
 Washington. Years ago, political
 campaigns were conducted practical
 ly through only three or four months.
 in a presidential contest, and during
 only two or three months in d con-
 greSsional contest Times have changed and so have political meth
 ods. There is no waiting now for the presidential campaign to begin next spring or. summer. It is "on" at this moment. Candidates. in their personality, may not be discussed so much, but issues of the campaign are being threshed out from every ros- trum ill tlie country-Political arsu- ments and partisan appeals former ly were made either through the newspapers or at stated gatherings of one or another of the political par ties. In the opinion of the best poli. teal observers, the day of the politi- gal meeting. as such. is passing. if, indeed. lt already has not gone into | history.

 whole lives as the greatest human
 blessing that God bestows upon us.

How much we have owed to them. at every stage of our existence. in the gentle touch of their influence upon our minds and hearts we know only when one of them vanishes out of our sight. and leaves vacant place which nothing can fill Here lies woman's true power over man. kind. beginning with the power to mould the minds of her sons and daughters in the most impressionable age. and passing on through all the ages of man.
