A Chinese cook named Chin Kan had
been engaged by a wealthy Chinese in
Ho In street in Canton. All the money
he earned had been lost in gambling.
On one occasion his master paid him
some money for the provisions he sup
piled. The cook lost all the money at
one stake Finding that his debts
were accommodating day by day, on the
twenty fourth day he went into the
kitchen and chopped off the forefinger
Of his left hand as self punishment
and warning in order to relinquish this
evil habit of gambling in the future.
He became unconscious through the
pain, but was brought round again In
few minutes.-Singapor Times.

A contest Which, until ITS close at
least, was marked by good-natured
rivalry and clean methods. although
with the sharpest of political tactics.
It was striking picture that Of
the venerable 1umberman of Marinette
finally attaining the goal to which he
had bent his political hopes for a
whole generation. Like all contests
of this kind, however, the victory was
not without some rancOr being bred
thereby. The action of State Chair
man w d. Connor in snatching the
prize from the hands of w. H. Hatten,
when it was all but within the grasp
of the New London man, was one of
the most startling political coups ever
executed.
Terrible Revenge.
1t was a terrible revenge taken by
the state chairman, who acted appar-
emily unmindful of the consequences
it might have upon his own political
future. The latest victory of the
Marinette millionaire in plucking VIC
tory out of the very jaws Of defeat
is also probably the most remarkable
and dramatic in the long list of won
derful things done by this man, who
has risen from poverty to the accumu-
lation of a fortune estimated to be
between $15 100000 and $20.O0O,OOO.
The excitement of this campaign
has been so intense that it can scarce
ly subside before that of another shall
be on, for Stephenson has given his
word that he only desires to finish out
the uneXpired term of Senator Spoon
err. Next year the state will again be
flung into a turmoil over a successor
to Stephenson. This contest is to be
settled by a primary election for the
first time Who will the candidates
be? That is the next question to which
politicians will give their thought.
There may be legion, Former State
Senator w. III. Hatten has already an
nounced himself as candidate. This
was determined upon Immediately
following the nomination Of Stephen
son. 1t is quite probable that Con-
gressmen Cooper and Esch will not be
candidates, as each Of these would
have to resign as congressman to do
so. I. l.. Lenroot of Superior is
strong possibility and viii probably
come into the race. and it is thought
by many State Chairman Conner will.

WIDOWS

Widows exist in all countries, thus
counterbalancng the matrimonial de-
cadence which might otherwise result
from timid men. Widows are clinging
by temperament and attach themselves
readily to any object that can't help
itself. 1t is generally considered I'M:
lucky to meet a widow on dark piaz
"a by the light of the moon. In many
countries to be kissed by a widow
means endless trouble. Widows are
frequently accompanied by children
whose number is constantly liable to
increase. They roam at large over
the principal sections, and no man is
safe when they are near. All the per-
feet men now dead have married wild
ows, thus forming a continuous con-
trast to the miserable specimens who
still live. 1t has been said Beware Of
Widows but this is unnecessary, for
no man can really help himself,-Life.

Anti-TObaccO Measure.


A sumptuary measure of a rather
sweeping nature which has passed
both houses, is one prohibiting abso-
lutely the use of tobacco in any form
in public places by boys under 16.
Since this bill went to the governor, q
doubted by many, is one prohibiting
the use of cigarettes by any person in
q public place Somewhat in the same
line is a pending measure which has
passed the lower house and known as
the anti-treating bill. 1t prohibits
political candidates from spending
money for drinks and prescribes the
purposes for which money can be
spent.
Relative to railroad legislation are
a number Of bills of some Importance,
none of which have yet passed both
houses. One takes away the limit Of
$1,000 damages for the death of per-
son in railroad accidents; another re-
quires the use of a block system in
running trains; another prohibits the
employment Of boys under Is as rail-
road telegraph operators.

The interesting discovery has been
made that there are in the legislature
five men who were born in the little
land Of Denmark. This circumstance
is rather remarkable from the fact

there are but two members of the leg

Anti-Treating Bill.

One of the most unique bills which
has passed the assembly at this ses-
sion was introduced by Dr.. T. III. Mil
Ter of La Crosse and provides for curb
ing campaign expenses. It is known
as the anti-treating bill.
1t practically prohibits candidates
carrying on the oldfashioned cam
paigns by drinking and cigars, in that
it specifies how much a man may eX-
pend and for what purpose. No men
ton was made Of REFRESHMENTS

killed the bills providing for state
display at both jamestown and the
Seattle exposition. An unusually
strong effort was made for an ap-
preparation of $4,000 for display at
the Alaska-Yukon exposition to be held
at Seattle in 1909. 1t was pointed out
that here was a rare opportunity to adj
vertise and exploit the resources of
the state III the great northwestern
market, but the assembly refused to
see it. However, the promoters of this
show will have opportunities to try the
next legislature.

ment OF the legislature within sight.
Two dates are being considered, May
80 and June IL. 1t is quite probable
that the latter date will be selected,
as there are a number of important
hearings yet. 1t is probable, however,
that by the latter part of May all the
bills will have been reported from tie
committees. The largest hearing yet
to be held began today when the pub
lie service bill came up for discussion.
The committee on claims will prob
ablv present its budget to the legisla-
ture the latter part of the week. Over
$11 100000 appropriations have been
asked for. The resources of the treas
ury zach year is 81, .000 or SS.5o0,-
600 for the two years. 1t is evident
that about 100000 will have to be
cut from the appropriations asked for.
Senator Bird has a bill asking for
100000 to found home for inebri-
ates and dipsOmaniacs. This will be
& forward step and something entirely
new for Wisconsin. The idea is to
get farm somewhere and to give this
class employment. Provision is made
by which they can be sent there by
court decree or voluntarily.

development companies that will
put it on the market at once for

of these transactions will be seen

DON YOU FEEL FTP

The very air of the lower Rio
Grande valley these days seems
charged with opportunity, alive
with the electric currents of de-
-zeIopment and enterprise. One
can feel it tingling in ones nerves,
and it would seem that even the
sIowest of minds coming in contact
with this vitalizing influence would
be awakened and fred with energy
and ambition. Millions of dollars
are pouring like water into this re-
gion for the development of the
vast resources with which it has
been endowed by Natures lavish
hand. One after another, great
irrigation and land development
enterprises are springing into ex-
5stence, and towns being laid OFF
in the heart of what was until now
but a wilderness of brush, and the
Taud-hungry homeseekers are COM
ing in hordes and buy up the land
even before the promoters
can get it surveyed and ready
for the market. Town lots
are sold and schools, hotels,
churches, and other buildings
planned even before the brush can
be cut away to mark the boundaries
of the lots. Some of the land that
sold a short time ago for $40 to
$50 an acre can hardly be bought
today for $40 to SIS.
It is truly inspiring to see what
vast developments are now taking
place in this land of promise.
And in the midst of all this
wonderful transformation, with the
whole country alive with enter
prise, stands Brownsville. Hers
more than anyone's else is the op.
portunity to profit by these new
conditions. Today Brownsville has
offered to her tie chance of future
greatness, and it rests with her
people to grasp the opportunity, and
advance with the growing tide of
enterprise. Shall the town continue
untouched, uninfected with the
spirit of advance, unresponsive to
the electric spark of progress, when
the whole country around is teem-
ing with new life2 Cannot you feel
that, now if ever, Brownsville
must arise from its Rip Van
Wrinkle sleep, shake off its leth-
argy, and go to work to build
up its own fortunes? Let the town
forge ahead, with confidence in its
own ability and faith in the future,
aud its reward will surely come,
when Greater Brownsville shall
reign supreme in the heart of this
rich Nile valley of America.
