est politicaiand professional positions
in the land-'tcan do anything but
earn days wages by a decent day S
work." whereas in fact only out OF
1000 young folks will get the big po-
sition with the big salary. All are
started off in the direction of the
the presidency or Newport, but, OF
course, few arrive, the rest fetching
up at commonplace job.
The chief fault, however, is not SO
much with the school system, or with
the rosy ideal there inculcated, as
with the idea that the school, without
any work, is to be the only prepara-
ton of boys and girls for making a
living. It will certainly be unfortu-
nate if well-meaning reformers, IN
seeking to restrict child labor within
proper limits, let children get the no.
ton that, however capable, they must
not work till school days are ended
and they are too old to become ETH

"SWeet By and By.'

The issue of Farm and Fireside for
May 10 gives an illustration of the
cottage in which lived the man who
composed the music of song, the
fame of which will live for all time
1t is the home in ElkhOrn, Wisconsin,
of the late J. p. Webster, one of the
two men who were orginators of
"Sweet By and By"
The true history of the song is that
it was produced in the fall of 1867.
The words were written by DR.. Sanford
Fillmore Bennett, ard the incident that
led to the creation of the song is eX-
tremely interesting.
Webster and Bennett were great
friends. They had produced many
other songs, and had published them
in a book, to which "Sweet BY and
By" subsequently was added.
One night, so the history goes, Mr..
Webster entered the store of Doctor
Bennett, appearing depressed in spir-
its. When Bennett asked his friend
what troubled him, he answered, ut is
no matter; it will be all right by and
by" Bennett caught the words like a
flash, and turning to his desk, wrote
the words as fast as he could pen them.
Then he handed them to Webster, who
at once began writing the notes. Doc
tor Bennett claims that not more than
thirty minutes elapsed from the time

the Wisconsin metropolis being re-
moved.
All passenger trains on this division
are now through trains to and from
Milwaur ee, or carry through coaches
between Milwaukee and the western
terminals.
An additional coach has been put
on the morning and evening trains
west of GAINESVILLE, doing away with
the excessive crowding of coaches
which for years has been a source of
complaint to travellers.
The tiresome delays at GAINESVILLE
have been elimia ated.
PASSENGERS are no longer to make
changes in trains at Calamine, James
Vile and Milton Junction.
The westbound evening train has
been restored to the old schedule so
that there is again regular and earlier
delivery of the evening mail in Mon
roe.
The connection at Dill between the
westbound evening train on the Miner
al Point division and the northbound
evening train on the Dodgevilte divi-
sion of the Illinois Central has been
restored, very important concession
to Monroe and the villages and towns
north of Dill on the Illinois Central
road. The breaking of this connection
early last fall resulted in heavy loss
of business to the Monroe merchants.
A Sunday passenger train between
GAINESVILLE and the western terminals
will be installed on Sunday, June 2.

For The Children.

Madison Democrat: Fairgrounds!
Fairgrounds! Fairgrounds! That is
becoming the general Cry. Parks are
beautiful and most desirable, but O.,
for places where the children may
rOmp in healthful recreation!
Sites for Fairgrounds in all parts
of Milwaukee have been offered to the
park board of that city and bids for
the properties were opened a few days
since. OF the tracts some range as
high as 1872 900 in value and as low as
"a 900, while there are perhaps a
dozen in ALL A few are large enough
for baseball diamond; others so
small that they would be available
only for duck-On-the-rOck, q, swing,
trapeZe, turning bar and teeter; but
it matters not so much about dimen-
siOns. The bigger, the better these
lots are of course, but the all-impOr-
tant consideration is the mere fact of
the urban ownership of spaces free for
fun by the ktds-God bless EN-! May
Milwaukee accept all the offerings,
and let exposition buildings, new
court houses and all extravagancies
of the kind 60, if need be; to insure
the deal. 1t can make no more prof.
table investment.
Every city should should have a
playground in each of it's wards.
Madison has not quite attained this
deal, but it has made hopeful be-
ginning. Opportunity yet remains for
philanthropic action by individuals
and for the broadest generosity on the
part of the council; but never will the
model capital city have been Gre
ated, despite beautiful state house,
great university, charming parks and
slightly drives-until play grounds are
SO numerous and so situated as to
serve the pleasure of the children of
every part of the community.

AROUT MINING LAWS.

Edmond Louis DeLestry OF st. Paul !,
who is attorney for a number OF high
sounding exploring development and
mining companies, is quoted by the
Milwaukee Free Press as predicting a
great deal of costly litigation because
of the prevailing ignorance OF mining
laws in southwestern Wisconsin. 1t
is quite possible that Mr.. DeLestry
might come into the fifth judicial cir
cult and here learn some mining law
himself. This circuit has long been
famous for able lawyers; and as it
comprises one of the Oldest mining
regions in the country, mining laws
and precedent8 have been and are now
well known among them. The bench
and bar in southwestern Wisconsin
number many lawyers who are ripe
and good ones too.

WORK IN YOUTH.
There Are Limits to the Argu.
ment Against Child Labor.


The principal of a Chicago public
school expresses the opinion that the
agitation against child labor-taking
child to mean a person of any age up
to Ia or 16-should be more discrim-
NATIVE. Education, says The Balti-
more Sun. Education is good and
play is good, each in season, but the
habit of work, it is argued must be
formed early in life or it may never
be formed at all. And the habit of
work is valuable-indespcnsible for
most persons. 'Four hours of
school," says the Chicago teacher,
land four hours of work alternating,
will make every child self-sustaining
after the age of 10. Society and the
law have prevented the boy from get
ting work that really is work. Every
child ought to work every day of his
life. He is born into a world which
requires work, and he ought not to be
permitted to form habits of idleness
and Sinking. Child idleness is worse
than child labor"
Dean Russell of the New York
Teachers College, expresses the opin-
ion that the American public errs in
teaching boys and girls that they may
fairly expect to occupy the very high

When Shaw was governor, he was
one day making a speech in which he
was often interrupted by one man in
the audience This individual butted
in once too often. In an unhappy mo-
ment he broke in with Pardon me,
butt
Before he could finish the governor
replied: "Well, I've pardoned lots
worse fellows than you in my time,
and / presume it would be unjust to
draw the line here"
The fellow sat down, and during the
remaining two hours of the address
there were no more Interruptions.
Governor Shaw once addressed a
letter to his wife as follows:
The Best Woman In the World,
Des Moines. Ia.
"The letter." said the happy woman,
with q mixture of delight and senti-
ment, twas delivered to me without
question as the postmaster knew the

When Bellamy Storer was dismissed
from the diplomatic service recently
some one asked Shaw If the decision
had been sudden. In answer came a
story.
"Out west" said the secretary,
there was a tenderfoot who struck a
new town just as a funeral procession
was coming out He stood and watch

Of the bystanders who the deceased
was
"'Pink Eyed Bill was the reply.
"'Was his death sudden? inquired

TONS Perhaps it would be just as
well not to seek for many other re-
semblances, but in witty remarks and
pat anecdotes ex-Secretary Shaw does
approach the great war president
Here is a sample of the aptness Of his
stories:
A man went to him one day when
there was talk of some customs frauds
in New York to ask If he intended
starting an investigation.
81 knew fellow once" said Mr..
Shaw, "who hunted foxes with brass
band. "A very long and embarrass-
ing pause, while the secretary went on
signing his NALL He didn't get any
| foxes"
One day Justice Harlan of the SUI
preme court, propounded this query to
Shaw:
"Mr. Secretary, what is the differ
ence between a statesman and poll
tcian?
Quick as thought came the answer:
'Its the difference between the
young man seeking position and the
boy looking for job"
A friend of the family once remark
ed to the secretary:
'Mrs. Shaw is so kind. isn't sheT
"Kind?' repeated Mr.. Shaw. Mrs.
TONER"
When the treasury portfolio was Of
fered to Governor Shaw, his friends, III
his presence, were specializing as to
whether he would accept or not. He
set their minds at rest by telling the
following story:
1.-TWO boys, Bill and Bob, were at the
dinner table. Some time before the
end of the meal the pie was passed.
Bill declined to take any, saying he
was not yet ready for the dessert Bob
helped himself to the biggest piece on
the plate and, turning to Bill, remark
ed, Bill, allus take pie when pie Is
passin'>'"
The treasury department had NIL
nor employee named Mike, who went
on periodical sprees But he was con-
sidered indispensable, SO was taken
back each time Mr.. Shaw learned Of
this and asked the delinquents imme-
date superior, what would you do IL
Mike were dead?' ooh, I suppose we
would have to straighten out things
ourselves" "Well, so far as this de-
partment is concerned, Mike is dead.
So begin and straighten."
When he was secretary he always
wanted to help people if he could, but,
much as he desired to assist one wom-
an to q position, he saw it was impOs-
sible
az tell you how it is, my good wom!-
an" he said finally, I'm always will
ing to climb a tree for anybody, but [
couldn't climb CREASED pole to please

simply can't do it."
Senator Depew once raised great
laugh at a London banquet by quoting
the following poem as coming from
Shaw's pen:

He knew that her papa was dead.
