DOG ALWAYS DEVOTED FRIEND
Faithful Qualities Frequently Serve to
Put Mankind to Shame.

Never call a man dog" unless you
want to confer a compliment upon
him. The dog is the most faithful. the
most self-sacrificing and the most de-
voted friend a man can have when
once the confidence of the animal has
been won. Few men exhibit these
qualities under the test as perfectly
as the dog exhibits them as a matter
of course. How many men can be trust
ed as implicitly as a man can trust
his dog? It was a brilliant French
woman who said. THE more see of
men the better | think of dogs" and
this cynicism has not lost any con-
verts by Its repetition. Few men will
remain constant and true to another
man through hunger, misfortune and
suffering. yet any dog will do that
gladly.
The other night woman awakened
in her home in Chicago to find a
burglar bending over her. Her faith
full dog, attracted by the slight sound
of the movement Of her awakening.

saw the strange man and immediate
ly attacked him. The burglar was
put to fight and ran in terror from the
house with the dog in pursuit. At the
gate the thief plunged knife into the
side of the faithful animal, and there
the officers found him when they were
attracted to the scene. His mistress
ran to him, and he licked her hand in
gratitude that he might die for her
out of sheer loyalty and devotion.
That one man should lay down his
life for another is counted the crown
ing triumph of humanity, the consum-
mate sacrifice of an intelligent crea-
ture. yet poor dog, to which is de-
MED the attribute of reason and intel.
ligence, will lay down his life as a
matter of course and without any idea
of sacrifice, for his master. 1t is an
injustice to use the term dog" as a
reproach. There are a whole lot Of
men who would have to change their
habits of life to attain to all of the
good qualities possessed by a dog

Wisconsin Inspects Grain.

Wisconsin inspection of grain began
in Superior on the first of the new
year Superior won a fight for which
she has been expanding money and en-
ergy for the last Is years, and it is
the expectation that board of trade
will be built up in that side of the
bay to compete with the Minneapolis
and Duluth boards. The big grain in
.terests of Minnesota backed the prop
osition just as strongly as they form
erly opposed it. Under the agreement
reached by the grain commission and
the local fighters with the Minnesota
grain interests, the Wisconsin commits
sion will have charge of all weighing
in and out Of all kinds of grain. Wis
consin inspection will be applied to all
coarse grains without request. while
on wheat and flax the inspection will
be at the option of the owner. The
Wisconsin people are of the opinion
that they will be able to make such a
success of the grain inspection bust
ness that all grains Of all kinds sent
to Superior finally come for Wiscon-
sin inspection.

Madison.-The Wisconsin commit
tee for the International tuberculosis
congress to be held in Washington be-
ginning September IS, 1908, has for
mulated plans for a vigorous fight
against the white plague in Wiscon-
sin. An organized force consisting of
every mayor in the state. all of the
health commissioners, and every al
derman will be effected, if the plans
of the committee materialiZe. Educa-
tional methods will be employed in the
homes and in the communities, by
which every one can become acquaint-
ed with the ways of preventing the
disease. Bands are to be organized
in each congressional district, which
will constantly add new members to
their force until the number is so
great as to sweep the plague from
the state. Such an organization OF
every state in the union, according to
DR.. H. E. Dearholt, would be the
means of clearing the land of the dis
ease in less than ten years. officers
were elected to vacancies as follows:
Assistant secretary-Prof. w. d. Frost,
Wisconsin university.
Treasurer-John H. Kopmeier. Milwau-
kee.
Executive committee-Dr. John M. Bef-

man and Mrs HI. M. Youmans, Wau-
kesha.
Chairman DR.. Mazyck r. Ravenel
and Secretary H. E. Dearholt were
elected at the last meeting of the
committee. An effort will be made
to raise 5000 with which to send an
exhibition to the international con
gress to compete for the $1,000 prize
offered to the state having the best
organized method of combating the
disease. Some of the contributions
are for the purpose of organizing the
state into one big army to fight the
dread plague.

mouth to mouth. Did he die gamer"
and soon the answer flies among the

rests content. If any executed felon
should show the white feather in the
final hour the whole felonious fra
ternity would feel Inundated and the
memory of the culprit who fuked
would be execrated for generations.

RaeerohIed "the Other One.~

Imagination, of course, plays large
part in the receptions of the nursery.
A child of four or five was giving an
account to her parents of the capture
of a snake at the end of the garden.
Like many grown-up raconteurs, she
posed as having been present, though
she had the story in reality from her
slightly elder brother, who had been
delighted witness. Enlarging on
every detail, she was at last pulled up
by her father, who knew how much OF
her evidence was circumstantial.
"And what was the color Of this
snake?" he asked. This was poser.
Tom had omitted to tell her the color.
But she was not going to be daunted
by minor detail of this sort. 1T was
the same color as the snake that Tom
saw" she said.

Became Girls Patron.

Became GIFTS Patron.
Her skill on the violin, even more
than her beauty. had attracted the at.
tention OF the lawyer when she first
came to the city Through friends Mr.
Hummel was introduced to her and
her mother. Eventually he became the
acknowledged patron of the little girl
He obtained the best teachers for her,
arranged concerts at which she played
and secured her introductions into the
homes of the socially prominent in
New York and Newport. What sue
cess has come to Miss Brown she
owes largely to the kindly interest of
Mr.. Hummel
And Miss Brown was grateful.
She was not content to tell only of
the many kindnesses he had done for
her and her mother She did more.
The first day the convicted lawyer
sent word to the outside world from
his cell in prison that he would like
to see those of his old friends who
still cared to see him, Miss Brown was
one Of the first to hurry to him with
flowers and fruit and some dainty
jelly that her mother had made with
her own hands. 1t was the sight of
his little friend that brought the first
smile to the face of the little lawyer
that any one had seen after his con
viction.

New Wireless Experiments.

One Of the wireless companies has
been untiring in its efforts to span
the Atlantic ocean, and recently some
experiments have demonstrated to
the satisfaction of the experimenters
that the feat is entirely feasible. A
station is about to be established at
Clifden, on the west coast of Ireland.
and it is expected to establish direct
connection with the United States. At
the new station an innovation will be
tried in the shape of metal plates to
launch the etheric impulses into space
instead of a latticework Of wires,
which has generally been made use Of
heretofore.

WinsIow New Chief Justice.


The death of Chief Justice J. B. Cas-
soday gave rise to speculation as to
who will be the new member of the
supreme court of Wisconsin. By gir-
tue of his seniority of service, Associ-
ate Justice J. B. Winslow, who has
been a member of the court 16 years,
will become chief justice. Judge
Winslow, while not a Badger by birth,
has spent almost his entire life in
this state He was born October A,
1851, at Nunda, N. Y. He graduated
at Racine college, Wisconsin, in 1871,
and entered upon the study of law.
Later he attended the university at
Madison, graduating in 1875, and i'm
mediately began practicing at Racine.
For several years he was city attOr-
ney. In 1883 he was elected circuit
Judge of the First district and served
in that capacity until 1891, when he
was appointed an associate justice of
the supreme court. In politics he is
a Democrat, although he has never
taken very active part in political
affairs. Gov. Davidson will appoint
some one to fill the vacancy in the
court, but whether he will do so before
the election next April is undecided.
Chief Justice Cassoday's term expires
a year from next month, and his sue
cessor would have to be elected next
April whether the chief justice had
lived or not If he had lived, it is
likely that he would have been can
didate to succeed himself. If Gov.
Davidson decides to fill the vacancy
before the election in April, there will
probably be a spirited contest for the
appointment.

young physician. Not day has
passed that DR.. Matz. even though he
did not have to prescribe for his pa
tent, has failed to visit his cot and
chat with him for Is or 20 minutes.
Of course, on several Of these occa-

doctor was introduced.
And then of course the inevitable
happened.
Even before he had been formally
presented, Dr. Matz had heard of the
beautiful young woman whose graft
tude toward her old friend had never
changed in his adversely. He had
heard Of her from Hummel, from the
other prisoners. from the keepers,
who had come to look forward to her
visits almost as anXiously as did
Hummel himself.
What has followed has been the Sc

with bushes. will tell you herself that

tell you that even before he had met
her he had made up his mind that so
loyal a friend as Miss Brown had
shown herself to be was just the girl
for him.

But Miss Brown was not the only
