Stephenson. of Marnette, multi-mil-

political and financial circles of Wis
consin for more than half a century
has been elected United States senator

How Victory Was Won.
The END of the fight for the senator
ship came in q dramatic manner at
the night caucus and no one except
the Stephenson managers expected it.
The victory OF the Marinette man was
due to the fact that he won over Leu
tenant Governor Conner to his suppO [.
and through him the votes of Assem-
blymen Goldworthy and Nelson. The
Stephenson managers had also goi
promises from Assemblymen McGre
COR, Clausen and Morris that as soon
as they got the lieutenant governor to
throw his support to Stephenson they
would go over to him.
The victory of Stephenson is re-

his power from the beginning to have
the Marinette man nominated and

The Final Ballot.
1t is probably one of the most nota
bic of the senator's long list of pOlitl-
cal victories since he became factor
in Wisconsin politics. The final ballot
reSulted: Stephenson, So; Esch, %;
Hatton, II; McGregor. 2; Hudnall, l.
After the caucus adjourned, the de-
feated candidates, Hatton and Esch.
Governor Davidson and the other state
officers and most of the members of
the legislature. called on Stephenson
at the Park hotel and extended their
congratulations.
Stephenson says that his policy in
the senate will be in strict harmony
with the progressive reform move
ment that had chara cterized the Re
publican party of Wisconsin during the
last decade and the position which

Most of his life he has spent III Wis
Consn. He knows the Badger state

many instances, and their histories.
With this fund of knowledge Mr..
Stephenson is regarded by his friends
as an ideal man to send to the United
States senate. Already Wisconsin has
there the iridescent and pugnaciouS

for this gingery young statesmen
could there be than the wise and eX-
perienced Stephenson? During the
next two years, therefore, Wisconsin
is expected to be given unusual at

One afternoon, says the author Of '"The

not learned. The carriage came for
her, but the teacher dismissed 1t with
the request that it should return at
the end Of half hour. The half hour
came and glided away with the lesson
still unlearned. The carriage came
again and was dismissed. At the end
Of the second half hour the lesson was
committed, and Miss Nellie was per
mitted to go. The next day at the
usual hour the young lady arrived, ac-
companied by her mother. The teach
er began to fear she had lost her most
cherished pupil, but Mrs, Grant came
to thank her for performing her duty.

she is only plain, simple Nellie Grant

all the scholars. This course will have

Reached the Limit.

A Providence girl, who has been
married about six months, had we'd
ding cards a short time ago from an
old school friend who had given her a
wedding present which, Of course, de-
manded one in return. Among her
wedding presents the Providence girl
had duplicates in the shape of two sill
yer card trays, and in a spirit Of econ
omy she decided to give one Of these
to her friend. 1t was marked with her
own initials, but it would be only a
matter of a few minutes to have them
removed and the proper monogram cut.
She took it to the jeweler and explain
ed what was to be done. He picked up
the tray, looked at 1t closely and
smiled.

initials on this same tray Eve times,
and it has worn so thin that / cannot
do 1t again without cutting through the
