Wisconsin to Have Clam Hatchery.


That La Crosse is to be selected
for the location of the only clam
hatchery in the world is evident from
the fact that notice has been received
by Congressman John J. Esch from
the government announcing that por-
ton of the west channel of the Mis-
sissippi river opposite La Crosse Is
to be closed by the government and
used as a reservation for clans, 80
that a scientific study of them can be
made in connection with the govern.
ment fish station located on the north
side of the Black river, where suitable
tauks will be established for the work.
The work will be under the direction
Of Profs Curtis and Lefevre, who have
already made several visits to the city
in that connection and who during the
last summer spent considerable time
in locating clam beds along the Mis-
sissippi Investigation showed that
the best clans are those found in the
Mississippi in this immediate vicinity.
There are about 200 different kinds OF
clans to be found in the Mississippi
river. OF this number many are val
liable and make the finest kind of
pearl buttons. A second important
feature in the study of the clam will
be that in connection with the pro,

WOMAN KNEW HUMAN NATURE.
Personal Experience Counted in Her
Endorsement of New Pastor.

A Philadelphia congregation was
called upon not long ago to choose
pastor. The last three ministers mad
been persona non grata with most OF
the parishioners; and before selecting
another the congregation did some
pretty hard thinking. There was one
woman of experience whose voice car
ried particular weight. Preacher after
preacher was invited to the pulpit Tor
trial sermon, and all, IN the maj
analysis, were rejected by the female
arbiter. At last there came along 3
possible incumbent who met with her
approval.
1.-THE reason I am sure he will give
satisfaction" she said, lis because ne
has the right kind Of wife for q
minister. She allows him to rant
around all he wants at home and'
doesn't sass back. l found out long
while ago-shortly after was mar
ried myself, in fact-that a man who
hasn't that privilege at home works
off his spleen elsewhere. A minister
vents it on his congregation. That
was why we couldn't stand the last
preacher. This one will be all right.
We won't hear a peep out of him.
And upon that unique recommends
ton the congregation really did give
the man a call According to last ac-
counts both he and the congregation
we're doing well. The wife has not
been heard from.
