The Society for the Prevention of
Premature Burial, which has Just
been making the flesh of all of us
creep, ought to go TO Ireland for a
lesson in prevention. 1t was the prac-
tice until quite recently, when funds
were short, to expose the body of the
corpse before the door of the house
IN which the death had taken place.
Then passersby, desirous that the
dead should have right good bury
lngI dropped money on the ready
plate, and so made adequate provision
This afforded time for a revival, If re-
vival were humanity possible, Sad to
say, however, the practice led to i'm.
posture. Needing holiday instead of
his wake man would lie out and
Ieign death. Thus II happened that
a man was stretched fiat before a
cabin door, and the familiar recep-
tacle invited the gifts of the charit-
able. A lady passing dropped in d
sixpence, and stopped TO gather up
hvepence change "Arrah. maam," I"
expostulated the corpse, be generous
vance in your life, and don't mind
the change. '--Tatleg.

"These early breads have long
been swept away. In America Ouldas

Ouida must have made an immense
fortune from her pen, for there has
been a constant demand for her
books since "Under Two Flags" and
PUCK" made her famous 40 years
ago, and she has been most prolific
writer. She has written nothing for
the past six years, and but for the
pension which the British nation has
granted her she would have had to
end her days in the poorhouse.
Ouida has never married because
she never found her ideal OF a man.
Her ldenl was the English off 7er in
"Under Two Flaes,' a being WHO was
more of demi.god than man so 1t
is little wonder she never met his
like in the flesh.
While scarcely any information has
ever been obtained as TO Ouida's par.

English, partly French. partly Span
ish. She was born near Bury St
Edmunds, England, in 1910, Her
mother was an Englshwoman, said

The only circumstances which we
take the trouble to notice in modern
French duels is that they seldom do
much harm; the fact which Is upper.
most in the French mind is the obvi-
ously implied one that, whether a
duelist come to any manner of grief
or not, man cannot take part in a
duel without deliberate risk of his
life. His act, though probably only
conventional, may turn out to be
fatal And even though, in general.
1t happily prove mere formality, II
involves, on the part of all concerned,
q brave acknowledgment that anyone
who pretends to belong TO civilized
society must hold himself responsible
for any deviation from the code of
conduct which its traditions prescribe
and which It's existence inyolvea.---

"ReApING THE RIOT ACT"
Ceremony That Must Precede Dis,
persal Of Crowd in Britain.


What Is commonly meant by read
ing the riot act is better known than
the origin of the pharse. The histori-
cal riot act was passed by the British
parliament in the reign of George I.
in 1714. 1t enacts that felony is com-
mitted when IL or more persons I'M
lawfully, riotously and tumultuously
assemble together, to the disturbance
OF the public seace, so to continue to-
gether for an hour after being com
manded to dispense by the sheriff or
under sheriff, or justice or the mayor
of the borough. In the reading" OF
the British riot act, which is a neees-
sary preliminary to its being put into
operation, IL is not customary to recite
the whole of the statute, which Is
rather long one, but only the follow
ing proclamation, which is contains:
"Our sovereign lord the king chargeth
and commandeth all persons being as
sembled Immediately to disperse them
selves, and peaceably to depart to
their habitations, or to their lawful
business, upon the pains contained in
the act made in the first year of King
George for preventing tumults and
riotous assemblies. God save the
king"

BAD LANGUAGE IN ENGLAND.
Upper Glasses Adopting Vulgar Words
and Forgetting Grammar.

Apropos OF my recent remarks on
the adoption of cocltney expressions
and the cockney accent by stallhoId
ers at fashionable bazar, says writ.
er in the Lady's Pictorial, | am not
surprised to find that those who are in
terested in the English language are
taking fright at the terrible havoc that
is being made with It by those who
ought to know better. AS spoken now
by the masses, English is practically
another language from that spoken
say, 25 years ago by working people
The school board education has given
yet another accent and tone to the
young person." and It therefore de
pends upon the upper classes to speak
pure English But IL is more than re
grettable--it is, indeed, disastrous-tC
find them adopting the hideous twanf
and meaningless vulgarisms of expires
sion of their interiors, clipping "g's'
and disregarding the good cid rulC
that verbs must agree with their nom
natives in number and person. 1t II
sad to think of what our language ma!
have become in quarter OF u cen
tury.

EAU CLAIRE WANTS THE FAIR
Commercial Club May Try TO Secure
County Show Which Formerly
Was Held at Augusta.

Eau Claire. Wis, March 9.-The
next county fair Of Eau Claire county
may he held in this city instead of ut
Augusta as heretofore. Leading bust
ness men Of this city are back of the
move and it is quite probable that the
commercial association Of this city will
take hold of the project and push it to
a successful elimination
The chief objection raised against
Augusta is that hotel and other accom-
modations are inadequate to accom-
modate the crowds that attend a fair.
Street fairs always were great
success i'm Eau Claire, but they have
been practically abolished owing to OBJ
iecti0nable features connected with
some of the shows that came. Thus
the county fair could be made a great
annual affair i'm this city. The accom-
modationS here also would be adequate
at all times. assuring a large attend
ance The fair association then also
would become a member of the North
ern Wisconsin Fair association, which
would insure some fine racing events
here.

SUES INDIAN
FOR DIVORCE
White Wife Alleges i'm Complaint That

ton Charged.

Appleton, Wis, March 11.-An I'M
usual case in the Appleton circuit
court is ali action brought by Mrs.
Skenadore, white, against James K.
Skenadore, her Indian husband, charg-
ing desertiOn. The question at issue is
whether the unwrItten Indian law that
squaw shall support the brave is APP
plicable or the white mans law.
The earliest tradition Of Indian life
provides that the squaw must support
the husband, who must be brave and
hUnt, but never do the mental labor
of the fields or household. Now the
true Indian woman inherits this idea,
ana it is bred in her throughout her
life, but with a white woman it is
different Mrs. Skenadore is said to
have not a drop of Indian blood in her
veins IT was said that the defense
would show infidelity on the part Of
Mrs. Skcnadore to be the reason of the
dcsertion of the husband. As ADAM
donment ;knOng the Indians is an al
most unheard of thing the grounds
upon which he may be justified Will
be a precedent for future cases. Mrs.
SkenaGOre appeared in court with her

they do not know what they are

If placed in the same position, with
4 full understanding of the perplex-

bearance, patriotism and statecraft.
The negro question is problem of

lay. AT the present rate of increase

Entitled to the Best.

The ~Montfort Mail of last week
printed the following article under
the above caption, and we are asked
20 reproduce it:
County superintendent G. H.
Nye has a communication in tOday's
Mail He gives a history of the
Office before getting at the pith of
his article which expresses his pre-
terence for his assistant as his sue
cessOr. His long drawn article Is
supposed to be unprecedented, as
emauating from his Office, but be is
50 Jealous in his advocacy OF Mr..
Brockert that he expresses some
peculiar ideas IN reference to the
fitness of the candidates, Brockert
and Bray in particular. That he
considers Mr.. Wood not a strong
candidate is shown in the lines de-
voted to him, in which he says
practically nothing, the mention be-
ing made more as matter of
courtesy than anything else.
Mr.. Nye says, mo man having
Normal training, supplemented by
a University course, can afford to
accept this office at the present
salary. The best superinten-
dents Grant county has had were
not cOllege-bred men"
DR.. Bray is a college bred man;
Mr.. BrOckert, we take it from Nye's
inference, is not. Mr. Bray evident
" knows the salary the office COM
Elands, and ii he is willing to ac-
c6pt that Is his personal affair, and
the county will be the gamer by
his sacrifice.
Mr.. Nye says Mr.. Bray's 'elab-
crate platform needs some eXplana-
zion, " but leaves the cOnundrum IN
answered
ar NYe las been a capable Of
ticiaI as ere Mr.. Harper and
others, but it is unfair to assume
that a man possessed Of the higher
education or the times, would not
Zoe as capable as the best OF tho
who have held the office of county
superintendent.
Mr.. Nye has set himself a hard
TASK when be tries to convince the
people of the county that a college
education is no better than any
other as a qualification for county
superintendent. 1t is better if we
can get it. We can get it this
spring and the people fully apprec-
Hate the situation.

Interesting Question Which Has
Just Been Raised ar

SENATOR RETURNS HIS SALARY
If Not Entitled to Pay Is He Entitled
to the Seat
Matter Brought Out by Resolution
Calling for list of Persons
Who Were Drawing
Double Salaries.

estinG question in view of the pending
election of a United States senator
from Wisconsin was raised as to
whether State Senator @. G. MunsOn,
Of N-iroQua, is entitled to his seat as
a senator. Munson in addition to his
salary as state senator draws $500 \
year rs private secretary TO Governor
naI idS0n.
Recently the legislature adopted a
resolution calling on the secretary Of
state for list of persons drawing
double salaries. MunSOn has just re
turned to the state treasury Il warrant
for $3.50 for his salary as state SEN
ator and mileage. Now the question
arises if Alunson is not entitled to
salary as state senator, is he entitled
t. i seat in the senate?

TRIUMPHS OVER
HIS COMPETITOR
ID. II. WorthingtOn Is Made POST
master of BelOit Over Chai-

BelOit. Wis, March ID r. Worth
ington, editor and proprietor of the
Beloit Daily News, has just received
official notice of his appointment as
postmaster. thus marking his triumph
over Chalmers IngersOll, after ten
years of business and political
rivalry.
Mr.. WOrthingtOn came here ten
years ago from Chicago with less than
$50 in his pocket. and took charge of
The News, which was then a losing
venture. with practically no circula-
ton Mr.. Ingersoll was the proprietor
Of The Free Press, and hau seen many
competitors come and 90. At that
time he had been postmaster for five
years as we'll as newspaper editor.
At first Mr. Worthington devoted
all his energy to his newspaper ven
ture and built it up until it was one
of the most profitable i'm the state. He
always was an admirer Of Senator Ia
Toilette. and when the split i'm the
party came he took sides with the
Half Breeds" While Postmaster IN
gersOll was one Of the leaders Of the
"Staiwarts.'
1t was not until then that Mr..
WOrthinetOn conceived the idea that
he would like to displace his rival as
postmaster He was backed by Rep
resentatiye Cooper and Senator La
Toilette and his appointment was the
result.
