THE PICTURES.

A1y LITTLE son, with puzzled. questioning
feyes,
Br bught pictures for my wisdom to
make plain,
And slowly voiced his need in childish
wise,
Asking the meaning he had sought in
vain.
And some, by symbol, and by holy sign,
| could translate, and set his face
aglow;
But there were others I could not de-
fine
1 knew the meanings, but he could not
know.
My little son fares forth to realms Of
sleep,
While l sometimes unto the depths of
night
See pictures of Gods children sinking
deep
Beyond mems Iove-beyond their Faith
er's sight.
But still hope that where my faltering
mind
Is filled with pity and with dull de
spair
God reads the meaning with a purpose
kind,
And does not cease to know, and love,
and care.

tribes. 1t is pointed out that hither
to little has been collected in their
own language concerning the customs,
beliefs and ideas of the natives. Yet
authentic records of information given
by the Indians are regarded as of

Of the ethnology and early history Of

Assembly FavorS Shorter Sesxfou

Assembly Favors Shorter Sessions.
The Assembly advanced the Roethe
resolution to amend the constitution to
limit the sessions of the Legislature to
100 days exclusive of Sundays and holt
days. Mr.. Roethe urged that similar lin
ltations prevail in other States and that
both legislators and taxpayers are dis
gusted with protracted sessions. When
the work of lawmaking drags on for
four or FIVE months, he said, the members
lose interest in their work and loose leg
lslation is likely to result. Mr.. Roethe
presented some statistics in support of
1t. In twenty-nine States of the Union
the length of sessions is limited, the
terms being from forty to ninety days, he
said. In fifteen States the limit is sixty
days. In Minnesota the length is ninety
days and the people are we'll satisfied
He believed better work could be done
in short session. Mr.. Norcross said it
would not be practical nor popular to try
to keep members in town during the
whole session. Much is learned by going
home, he said. He did not believe it paid
to make laws in too much of hurry. He
did not believe there was much call for
any such amendment and members them
selves were the ones most concerned. The
resolution was adopted, however, by
vote of 81 to 20.

Reservoir Bill Is Passed.

The Wisconsin river reservoir bill went
through the Senate with so little opposi-
ton as to cause the spectators to wonder
why so much ado had been made of it.
The vote was ID to 3. The whole matter
was threshed out again. Senator Burns
substitute to make the improvement
through State commission was defeated,
and Senator Hastings amendment to re-
quire the improvement company to pay
the State a fixed revenue for the fran
chise was likewise voted down and the
bill passed.

Strict Auto Lavs Modified.

A bill lessening the restrictions on the
running Of automobiles in Wisconsin was
passed by the lower house Tuesday. and
the prospects are that it will go through
the Senate. The measure gives an auto
list the right to skip by a frightened horse
or team if he thinks that is necessary to
avoid an accident. The present law re-
auires him to hold his machine station

ioL.. of the Iaw requiring an autoist to
stop the motor of his machine on signal

SHOT AT FROM AMBUSH.
Looks Like Attempt to Murder Rev.
Watson on Reservation.

Rev. John Webster of the Methodist
mission on the Oneida reservation, was
fired upon from ambush the other night
while passing the home of Jonas Metoxen,
the famous football player of Carlyle
college, and sustained bullet wound in
his right leg. Another ball passed with
in few inches of his head. Mr.. Web
ster was on his way home from the vii
lage of Freedom at 9 o'clock when fired
upon. He at once went to the home of
Metoxen to investigate the cause of the
act, but Metoxen knew nothing of it ex
cept that he had heard two shots. The
two men are the best of friends, of high
moral character and have a high standing
among the Indians. The affair is of the
deepest mystery. County officials have
taken up the matter.

mark and they are still coming in at the
rate of five or ten a day. Already bills
amending the statutes of 19O7-laws en-

to think that the death of Dillis was a
part of the joke. Diliis was employed in
a night squad at the Chicago brass works
Just before midnight the men went to a
boarding house for lunch. One of the men
told a story and Dillis was convulsed
with laughter. He laughed as he ate,
and while in a CONFUSION of laughter he
attempted to swallow a big piece of meat.
1t lodged in his windpipe and he fell over
from the table. The men thought that
he was joking with them. but when he
failed to get up from the floor they went
