We're superstitIous. Too.

A woman who takes her super
stitions seriously started to enter a
big department store one morning last
week when she noticed porter on a
tall stepladder that stretched directly
across the doorway, says the New
York Press. In spite Of the fact that
there were Ave women behind her
eager to pass into the shop she came
to a sudden halt, looked up at the lad
der and cried out, "Oh, I'll never walk
under that" saying which she turned
and strobe away. Before she had
gone far her sense Of humor rose SUI
perior to her fear of ladders, and she
locked to see If her remark had had
any effect on those who had been
within sound of her voice. Walking
directly behind her were the five
women who had heard her exclama-
ton.

Delivered the Goods.

The late Senator M. 8. Quay, Of
Pennsylvania, kept all the letters his
constituents wrote to him asking for
favors, says the Saturday Evening
Post. He had stacks of them when
his last great fight for the senate came
along. Then he sorted out the letters,
eliminating those from people who
were dead and on the back of eacA
letter wrote: Dear John or Bill:
Do you remember when you wrote me
this letter and do You remember that
1 did what you asked? l want your
help now in my light for the senate.
Can l have it?" The politicians In
Pennsylvania say those letters mailed
to the original senders with Quay's re-
quest on the backs of them, had as
much as any one thing to do with
Quay's winning his fight.

Cotton Fields Within the Attic
Circle

The climax of Natures irony in the
arctics is the cotton-plant. Wherever
cotton blooms, declares the miner ice
is not far below. One may trudge for
miles through fields of cotton, the white,
silky tops swaying defiantly in the
arctic breeze. The blossom is silky,
dainty, Elusive as the down of our own
yellow dandelion on lis way to seed.
From June until late August the tundra
is white with the cotton-plant. Unlike
the cotton of the Southern States, the
fiber is short and soft, having more of
the texture of silk than of cotton. The
cotton-plant will, in all probability
some day, be the means of developing
an Alaskan industry giving employ
ment to thousands Today, however,
the cotton-fields are purely decorative
"a splendid sweep of immaculate
bloom in bleak, timberless landscape
guarded by hills ever hung in wells of
deepest purple. In great bouquets it
is occasionally met in miners shack,
while not few housewives gather the
cotton for pillow-fiIling.
Throughout the cotton-felds flowers
bloom in abnormal splendor, as be-
comes country in which the sun
shines continuously during summers
voluptuous reign. 1t is an intoxicating
Joy for the flower-hunter to gather
great armfuls of purple larkspur, blue
bells, monk s-hood, primroses, sweet
peas, beautiful purple and red asters
large as the most cultivated, lilies of
the valley, baby-breath, yellow arrow,
sage-rose, pink and white stra ~ flower,
gentians of many hues, arctic geranium,
crimson rhododendrons, and giant fire
weed, all growing on the hillsides-to
enumerate further is to reproduce a
florists catalog. -From "a Wild Flow
er Quest in the Frozen North, by Ida
Rose McCabe. in the August Circle

NOT AFRAID FOR HERSELF.
chiId's Only Thought Was Of Damage
She Might Do Train.

One day last winter q Vernon s-irl
named Rosa Hines, IA years old anG
farmers daughter, drew her sled to
the crest of hill half mile long and
then took slide. Just beyond the
foot of the hill are railroad tracks, and
as her sled got under motion she saw
a train coming. She couldn't stop,
and she saw that there must De an ac-
cident, so she waved her hood and
shouted: Get out OF my way! Get out
of my way, or you'll be run overt"
The engineer saw the girl waving her
hood. even If he didn't hear her words,
and he brought long train of freight
cars to sudden stop just in time to
let her shoot by the engine. This is
probably the first time in the history
of railroading when girl on sled
was given the right of way over a
train. When she was afterwards
scolded by her father she naively re-
piled: "Oh, l wasn't scared for myself
was afraid of bunting the train on
the track"

As a Means of Relief.

In an exceedingly well considered
editorial in its issue of July ~, on the
revival of river shipping, the New York
Tribune bears striking testimony to the
demands of the commercial and manu-
featuring interests of the United States
or speedy and completely adequate inn
provement of the inland waterways of
the country. 1t is also striking testi-
mony to the advance of public senti-
ment in the direction of river and har-
Dor improvement-an advance that can
not fail 10 effect upon the Congre IS in
recognizing the force of the demand
brought about and continued by deyel-
opment of internal trade and commerce
unparalleled in the history of the coun-
try and in the history of the commercial
world abroad The Tribune says:
''The railroads appear to be unable to
handle expeditiously the enormous
freight of the country and everybody IS
artificial waterways as means of relief.
- The indications are that the
country has developed to point where
transportation by canals and eanalized
rivers is becoming as necessary to it as
was water transportation before the
building of the great railroads. Public
sentiment regarding water transporta-
ton has undergone striking change"
The change in public sentiment to
which the Tribune gives frank recogni-
ton is the direct result of the wonder
full development of each and every
resource and interest in the United
States. New England is feeling the inn
pulse no less than the South and with
the Northwest, the Pacific Slope states,
the Middle West and the Southwest is
in unison in development of trade and
commerce and in the demand that
adequate facilities for transportation be
furnished at the earliest possible mo-
ment.
The inability of the railway systems
to handle properly and expeditiously
the enormous freight offerings is no
longer an open question. The fact is
admitted as frankly by the officials OF
the railway systems as it is apparent to
every commercial, manufacturing, agri-
cultural end mining interest in the
country. The important question there,
fore is Ia the remedy and that is to be
found only in canalized rivers, in canal:
and in improved hsrbors on the Lakes
and On the sea coast. As the Tribun,
web says, transportation by canals anc
cAaalized rivers is becoming as neces
sary to the trade and commerce of the
country as it was before the building Of
the great railways.

IN-SH0OTS.

Since our last issue the Wansau base
ball team has won six out of eight game >
played, which is climbing some. The
uncertain element which is always seen
in baseball was witnessed in the Osh-
kosh series The Winnebagnes came
three games, and then Wausau went
down TO Oshkosh and landed three out
of four. Following that series came one
on the home grounds with Green Bay.
In the first game Wausau met her
Waterloo the first settlers shutting our
boys out by a score of 9 to 0. The next
day our team turned the tables and de-
feated the Ancient City boys to 0.
Sundays game was cue of the best
seen on the home grounds this season,
not score being made by either team
up to the eighth inning, when Wausau
scored one run and won the game.
The game really had its ending on
the Bells House corner in the evening
During the afternoon Umpire Newhouse
fined Hastings, the Green Bay manager,
S25 and ordered him off the grounds for
criticisng decisions He also fined
o. Hayer, the Green Bay first baseman,
for like offense. Hastings had blood
in his eye and is said to have remarked
that he would knock the block" off
the umpire after the game. He had
bat in his had and stood outside the
fence when the crowd came opt, but
Chief Malone, suspecting he meant to
injure the umpire, took the bat away
from him. After supper, Hastings
hunted up. the umpire and, inviting a
fight, was soon accommodated, and got
licked" in less than two minutes. He
went down to the railroad crossing and
caught train for Eland Jet, where he
awaited the arrival of his team next
day.
Two Wisconsin league players will
play no more. Jas. Wizard, who played
here with Madison in the early part of
the'season, was killed in the Pere Mar
quette railroad wreck. Hazel, who
played with Oshkosh and later with La
Crosse, is a hopeless paralytic and is
confined in a hospital in Green Bay.
His paralysis is said to be due to drink
ing freely of ice water when his blood
was heated His last game was played
in this city when the Lacrosse team was
last here.
Wausau has secured college pitcher
of the name of Miller, a left handler.
He pitched and won his first game yes
terday against Fond du Lac, and showed
up well.
At meeting of the directors, held
Thursday, the sale of Pitcher Maggie to
the Toledo team was confirmed. Wau
sau gets 5000 for him.

Gov. DAVIDSON gave out the follow
ing reasons why he favored the two
cent fare bill: THAT two cent fare
bill has been passed by the legislature
and has been signed by the governor
should not be interpreted as any lack
of confidence in the ability or integrity
of the commission. This bill is the out
growth of complications and conditions
which have arisen since the railroad
commission rendered its decision for a
a 2t-fare. The travelling public has
been harrased whenever interstate
tickets have been purchased. Informa-
ton has come to me officially of in
stances where men travelling between
states have been forced to pay cents a
mile, and of other instances, where
travellers have held family mileage
books, when the railroads have required
passengers to pay So instead of 81 for
sleeping car berths arbitrarily adding
81 to the sleeping car rate. These
things and the arbitrary refusal to
check through baggage have contrib
uted to conditions, which seem to
make 2 cent fare law advisable in
order that the people of Wisconsin
might enjoy the same rights and privi-
leges accorded to citizens of other
states.n

DIDN'T THINK HELP NEEDED.
Simple Fisherman Had Heard of the
Wonders of Science.

H. g. Wells, the novelist, spoke at a
Boston club about the wonders of
modern invention. $50 thick and fast,
he said, these new inventions come,
life grows rather confusing for plain
and simple folk. There was an old
fisherman rowing in his boat one day
when an automobile canoe sprung a
leak near him and Immediately sank.
To the indignation Of the canoes oc-
cupants, the old man paid 40 heed to
them, but rowed calmly on his way,
putting an old clay pipe. However. tho
wrecked canoeists managed to swim to
him. and as they clambered into his
boat one spluttered angrily: Confound
you, why didn't you lend US a hand ?
Didn't you see we were sinking?' The
old man took his pipe out of his mouth
and stared at them in establishment.

Women a. yezzo.

The women of the Island of Yezzo,
whence 1t Is supposed came the orig.
inal inhabitants of Japan, have a very
peculiar custom Of making up their
faces to look as though they have
mustaches.. These women are called
Anus. and upon the upper lip of each
Ainu belle is tattooed something that
resembles a long. flowing mustache.
To possess an artistically tattooed or
nament Of this kind marks a woman
as especially attractive and her
chances Of making a good matrimoni-
al alliance are very small IL she is
not thus adorned. AS matter OF fact,
the men of the island choose their
spouses more for the beauty OF this
tattooed design than the grace OF form
or charm Of feature.

Officers Natural Anxiety.

Sir Douglass Straight told this tale
at a recent dinner of the Journeymen
Hairdressers' Trade society In Lon
don: When young barrister he went
into BARRIERS shop to be shaved and
was little startled to see the wom-
an cashier behind the counter star
ing at him from time to time through
the glass door. When he got outside
the shop a policeman said: Il am
very glad to find you have come out"
The officer explained that he had been
anxious because the barber had just
come out of lunatic asylum the pre-
vious week and his relatives were
wondering whether they would have
to send him back again.
