COMPLAINS OF SHORT HAPPENS.
Seven Inches Not Long Enough for
 Modern Millinery.

"lf l were a hatpin manufacturer" said the girl fretfully. as she jabbed fiercely at a hat big enough for three girls, I'd consult the milliners before l made up the seasons supply of pins. How in the world do they suppose we can make these mammoth hats stay on our heads if we only have these tiny things to fasten them with?" And she held up pin about seven inches long. Might just as well try to keep them on with a common pin. You stick this hatpin in one side of your hat and it doesn't come out at all. It just stays with it's point imbedded in your hair somewhere, and your hat wobbles every step you take. It's no use using three or four pins If they won't reach clear across your hat. They'll just meet in the center and get all tangled up with one another. I've spent all the morning on a hunt for hatpin long enough to be of any use at all, and thores none in the market So l suppose my nerves will be worn to frazzle this winter stabbing and Jabbing with these baby hatpins in an endeavor to make them of some use, and I'll look like fright with my hat bobbing all over my head"

BUILT THE FIRST SKYScRAPER.
New York Architect Gave the New De-
 sign to the World.

It Is little more than IS years since Bradford Le Gilbert erected the first skyscraper at 50 Broadway, New York, says the Broadway Magazine. It was an History building. One day. when 1t was still in the skeleton stage, he decided to climb up through the net work of steel pillars and girders while a gale of wind was blowing. He wished to make some tests of the ef- feet of the storm on the skeleton. The people watching him from the side walk said he took his life in his hand. They expected to see the structure top pie and fall, burying the hapless in- ventor in the ruins.
 Le Gilbert returned to earth unhurt "a victor who had given the world a new idea that was to revolutionize the American city.
 Since then skyscrapers have become almost a commonplace. Higher and higher they have soared-11, 14, IS. 20, 25, fl or more stories-piling won- der on wonder, transforming Wall, Nassau and Pine streets into narrow canyons between cliffs of steel and stone, and making Trinity church, the finest building In the city half a century ago, a mere foothill of the great skyscraper range
 Then came the new idea, just car ried to success, which made men doubt if there were any limits to the height of the skyscraper The tower of the Singer building at 147 Broad way began to soar into the air, piling story upon story, until there were AZ In all, and the lantern that crowned the steel skeleton was fastened in place 612 feet above the sidewalk.

Who is Rhine?

The following item appeared IN the
Milwaukee Evening Wisconsin Of the
25th inst:
"Louis E. Rhine of Watertown was
accosteu by patrolman at East Wa
ter street and Juneau avenue Monday
night when the man appeared to be
sick. Pointing to his mouth. Rhine
gasped that he had drunk a quantity
of bicloride OF mercury. Believing
that his life might bs saved, the pa
trolman summoned the ambulance and
the stranger was hurried to the Emer-
gency hospital. Today Rhine is alive
and we'll. The doctors say that they
found absolutely no trace uf poison
and it IS believed that the Watertown
man played a CHASTITY Joke upon an
unsuspecting officer. Rhine will call
on Judge Neelen in the morning.
AS the name of Louis E. Rhine does
not appear in the Watertuwn city di-
rectory. it IS TO be presumed that
Rhine wanted the officers to believe
that he came from a mighty good
place.

The Primary Election.

This is the last issue of The Leader
itor wishes to impress upon the minds
of each voter the duty he owes to him
self as a citizen and the country at
large, to attend the primary election
and cast his vote for those whom he
may wish to be the candidate of his
party at the election to be held No
vember Bid next. Should voter not
be politically hide bound and anxious
to choose such men to represent him
in office as will work for the best in
terests of the country and public gen.
orally, he can exercise his indepen-
dence and vote for such men regard
less of their political affiliations.
In state matters the writer would
advise democrats to vote for Hon. A.
j. Schmitz of Milwaukee, for govern
or, as merited rebuke the factions
in his party which has kept up fight
for years in that party always event
uating in it's defeat; a fac tion which
four years ago, defeated the party at
the polls by proving traitors to the
party and its nominees. For United
States Senator. every democratic vote
at the primary election should be cast
for Neal Brown, the 'tSage of Wau-
sau,' native of Jefferson county and
one of the ablest men in the state.
For Congress, George w. Lewis of
Madison. the candidate of two years
ago who, certainly is entitled to favor
able consideration. For county officer S
we can only speak for our own citi-
zens, William Rohr for clerk of the
court. and j. 2. Holland for treasurer,
10th of whom sho1id receive the full
vote of their party lorslly-altho' Mr.
Rohr does not need it, having no op-
position. it would nevertheless be an
evidence of the regard IN which he is
held by his neighbors.
The republican voters If they are
wise. will casr their votes for Hon. S.
A. Cook for United States Senator
for he certainly is one of Gods noble
men and worthy of their support. Fer
Congress, John M. Nelson of Madison,
should be reuominated and reelected
regardless of politics, for he can be
trusted to work for the best interests
of the district, state and nation. He
is right on all questions of vital i'm
portance to the people.
