Farmers in Wisconsin who are
meeting with the excellent weather
conditions prevailing in this state, but
who have been tempted to move to the
Northwest, up Manitoba way, in the
land of the Saskatchewan, where it is
claimed great wheat crops could be
raised, may we'll rest satisfied when
they read Of the snow storms prevailing
there last week, and of the destruction
Of thousands of acres of standing
grains. The frosts and cold did much
damage all through the Canadian
Northwest, and many Of the new settlers
were completely ruined.
The Fond du Lac teacher who told
her pupils the other day that those who
attempted to display their good clothes
on the last day of school would be sent
home without diplomas and compelled
to get them from the back door Of the
teachers house next day, took ar
effective means of impressing upon the
children a lesson in consideration OF
others. But the chances are ten to one
that she had another job in view her
self or expects to get married; other
wise she would hardly have dared af
front the rich people of her school thai
way. Madison Journal.
-Seventy-fve secret service men are
now travelling. the country in an effort
to locate all spurious coins and TAKE
them out of circulation. There is Z
clause in the banking laws making il
imperative upon the banks to confiscatt
all the counterfeit money presented t.
it and then turn it over to the govern
ment, but the provision is not usually
observed. Usually the banks return
the money to the person who would
pass it for fear of offending an old pa
iron. Thus the money is kept in circu
lation. 1t is the intention of the Sc
cret service more fully to enforce tn,
law hereafter, since the banks are one
of the chief agencies for keeping the
nations currency uncontaminated.
