Frequent complaints of the preva-

Gil of Fond du Lac, that body has
passed curfew ordinance by which
young people are required to be in their
homes by 8 o'clock in the summer and
o'clock in the winter. An exchange

DODGEVILLE NEWS.

From the Sun-Republic.
Three or four rattlesnakes have been
killed lately on the w. F. Kramer farm
north Of this city. One had ten rattles
and a button and the others were
smaller.
Miss Emma Kessler came home Sat
urday from Waukesha for a visit with
her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Chris Kess-
Ter. She holds a position as stenogra-
pher in the state veterinarian office.
A team belonging to the Owen King
Lumber Co. made lively run Monday
down Division street and turned north
on Iowa street The breaking of a
clevice pin frightened them. Thos. II.
Davies was thrown off, but was not
seriously injured. r. j. Hughes was
knocked down at the Higbee Hotel cor
ner, the end Of the tongue striking his
leg. His arm was painfully bruised.
Within the past two weeks acts of
vandalism which only a degenerate
mind could conceive Of have been com
mitted. There is in every city a certain
element who delight in the destruction
and designation Of property, and they
should be dealt with summary, IF not
by the law-by a black snake in the
hands Of strong man. A few nights
ago these fellows cut all but one awning
rope the entire length Of the east side
of Iowa street. Friday night someone,
| presumably members Of the same
crowd, broke into the Stratman buggy
plant and daubed several new buggies
with yellow paint. Sunday night a sign
on a local merchant window was pur-
posely changed TO read indecently.

The Woman Who Makes Good.

The woman who makes good must be
blessed with health and strength and
an ambition to learn and take advan-
tage of every opportunity that comes
her way, says the September Delinea-
tor.
She must work with all her heart;
play with all her heart; above all things
avoid indifference and the enemy to
progress apathy.
She must select the pleasure that
will bring her the greatest joy, choose
the work she is best fitted for.
Ordinary hard luck never ruins peo-
pie. 1t puts them in a mood to learn
thing or two. Everybody makes
mistakes, but to make mistake and
wall about it, is to make two.
Then, too, the woman who wins
must learn to talk but not to tell. There
is an art THE most consummate art
in appearing absolutely frank to the
butcher, the baker and the family cat
and yet not reveal any of ones bust
ness affairs.
The woman who wins must be able
to hold all and hear all yet betray it by
neither word nor look; by injudicious
defense no more than by overt treach-
cry; by anger at malicious accusation
no more than by smile at an egregi-
Gus mistake. One cannot just slide a
long in business and win more salary.
A knowledge of the business is neces-
sary to show results.
To make good, woman needs that
fine balance, that accurate self-meas-
urement, which goes by the name of
common sense. 1t is the one thing on
which success depends the most.

HITCHCOCK FINDS PROBLEM.
Political Split in Illinois Causes Him
Much Worry.

Chicago. Ill.-ChRirman II. Hitch
cock OF the Republican national
committee has found a political prob
lem in Illinois. that is causing him
about as much worry as the Hughes
situation In New York state.
The recent primaries engendered so
much bitterness between the Deneen
and Yates factions in the governorship
and the Hopkins and Foss factions
over the senatorship. that the party
leaders in the state who are held re-
sponsible for the success or failure OF
the national ticket have found 1t nee.
essary to direct their attention toward
the formation OF a harmony program.
II II is possible to do 80, these state
leaders will draw MIR. Hitchcock into
