Nothing Truer Than That ReVengefuI,
Bitter Thoughts Will Inevitably
RecoiI on Those That
Harbor Them.

How little we realize when we
throw thunderbolts of hatred toward
another that these terrible thought
shafts always come back and wound
the sender, that all the hateful, re-
vengeful, bitter thoughts intended for
another are great javelins hurled at
ourselves!
How many people go through life
lacerated and bleeding from these
thrusts which were intended for
others!
Think of what people who refuse to
speak to another, because of some
fancied grievance or wrong, are really
doing to themselves! How this venom
intended for another poisons their own
minds and cripples their efficiency!
A kindly feeling, a feeling of good
will toward another, is our best pro-
lection against bitter hatred or in
furious thoughts of any kind. Moth
ing can penetrate the love shield. the

TOMB.S OF SPANISH ROYALTY

charming are some of the efigies over
the tombs. The local name for the
vault is "the place of the little angels, I"
and though many of the princes who
lie here were not at all angelic in
their lives the impression left by the
white marble wings of the statues is
one of spotless purity.
One unfortunate Spanish king, Don
Jaime II. of Aragon, is daily on view
in the cathedral of Palma, in Majorca.
The sacristan of the place takes you
to yellow marble monument in the
choir, opens cupboard, and pulls out
a very ordinary coffin with glass lid.
AS poor Don Jaime died in the four
teenth century, he is not now at all
a lively spectacle. His mummy is
made gay, however, with imitation
royal robes-cottony ermine, and so
forth.

State Capital Notes
Weekly Budget Gathered by Our
Special Correspondent at Madison.

Madison.-The Wisconsin eight
hour telegraphers' law is held valid in
decision handed down by Judge Tar
rant in Milwaukee. On this ground
the court sustained a demurrer to
the answer recently filed by the Mil
waukee road in a suit instituted
against it by District Attorney Nc
Govern and Attorney General Gilbert.
The court holds that the federal nine
hour law is unconstitutional because
it attempts to regulate commerce to-
tally within a state as we'll as COM
merce between states. Immediately
after handing down the decision Attor-
neys Van Alstine and Killilea for the
Milwaukee road notified Judge Tar
rant that they would take the case
to the supreme court. The case in
Judge Tarrant's court grew out of al
legations to the effect that the Milwau-
kee road had kept Edward A. Nc
Grath, operator at the Stowell station,
at work for a greater length of time
than eight hours. In the answer to
this complaint the defendants stated
that not more than one-half the oper-
ator's time was used in interstate
business and that in consequence
there could be no legal prosecution
under the federal laws. Regarding the
state law the road charged that the
law permits employers to sell the
work of their employees contrary to
the constitution. The road also con-
tended that the state law attempted
to regulate interstate commerce and
that in consequence it imposed a
wrongful burden upon the defendant
Railroads at the present time oper-
ate largely under the federal nine
hour law and, it is said, will continue
to do so until the law has been passed
upon by one of the highest United
States courts.

Government to Erect sawmiIIs.


E. A. Barniff of Green Bay, who is
in the United States forest service,
visited the Menominee reservation to
look over sites for the sawmills which
are to be erected in the near future.
Mr. Barniff has charge of the con-
struction of the mills. The act au-
thOrizes the cutting of timber, the
manufacture and sale of lumber, and
the preservation of the forests on GER
tain lands reserved for Indian reserva-
lions in the state of Wisconsin. The
work as far as possible is to be done
by the Indians and no Indian is al
lowed to enter into partnership or
agreement, or employ any labor other
than of Indians. 1t is understood that
three or four mills will be erected, and
that the largest will be at the Norway
dam. The timber that is already cut
will keep the mills busy for a year or
SO and it will mean plenty of work
for the Indians and large number of
white men who will be classed as
skilled laborers. The mills will prob
ably be running by July or August.

How easily, beautifully and sweetly
some people go through life, with very
little to jar them or to disturb their
equanimity. They have no discord in
their lives because their natures are
harmonious. They seem to love every
body, and everybody loves them. They
have no enemies, hence little suffering
or trouble, says O. S. Marden, in Sue
cess Magazine.
Others, with ugly, grabbed, cross
grained dispositions, are always in hot
water. They are always misunder-
stood. People are constantly hurting
them. They generate discord because
they are discordant themselves.

Judge Vinje of Chippewa Falls has

present at the wedding and certify TO
it. That is, if it takes place in Italy :;
but if it takes place in America, the
presence and certification of an TIA
liam consul or ambassador is all that is
necessary.
The duke earnestly objected to any
talk about dot. He is rich in his
own name; he declared that if Miss
Elkins was to have any money it was
none of his affair.
Duke Born in Madrid.
Luigi Amadeo, now duke of the Alb
ruzzi, was born in Madrid in 1873, just
13 days before his father abdicated.
He has two older brothers, the prince
of Aosta and the count of Turin. Be-
fore them, however, comes the king of
Italy's son, Crown Prince Umberto,
four years old. The prince of Aosta
has two sons, six and four years old,
all of whom, beside the count of Turin,
stand between the duke Of the Abruzzi
and the throne.
Though he stands high in the TIA
liam navy, the duke of the Abruzzi gets
his chief claim to fame as an explorer
and mountain climber.
Nine years ago he assembled Mount
st. Elias, in Alaska, one of the tallest
American peaks. Two years later he
sought the north pole. One of his
party reached sc degrees 33 minutes
north, beating hansen and holding the
worlds record until Peary beat it.
His Name Free from Scandal.
Clean-lived and with his name I'M
touched by any kind of scandal, he en-
tertains the most romantic affection
for his aunt, Queen Marguerite, who
played the part of mother to him
after the death of Queen Victoria,
while he was yet in infancy. He has
shown his devotion in many touching
ways. When he scaled and explored
Ruwenzori, he gave her name to it's
Hottest peak. He is the third of three
brothers, the two elder being the duke
of Aosta and the count of Turin. He
has also a half-brother, Count Salemi,
the issue of his fathers marriage to
Princess Letitia Bonaparte.
The fortune of the duke of the
Abruzzi is estimated at 100000. He
has less than his brothers, owing to
the fact that he has met personally the
expenses of his various expeditions,
but there is still more property yet to
be divided among the brothers. He
has a private income from his moth

Washington-If the king of Italy
should die, and his son, the prince of
Piedmont, and his cousins, the duke of
Aosta and the count of Turin, and the
dukes two sons, the Prince Amadeo
and the Prince Aimone, then the duke
of the Abruzzi would be king.
II is remote possibility, of course,
but the chance has given great inter
national significance to the impetuous
suit of the popular duke of the Abruzzi
for the hand of that athletic and
charming American beauty, Miss
Katherine Elkins, daughter Of the SEN
ator from West Virginia.
But should it all go right; should
the king of Italy give his consent-to
say nothing of Mr.. Elkins-then the
senator's daughter will come nearer
being queen than any American girl
has ever been before
There is nothing in the Italian law
TO prevent it. If the marriage is legal
" consented to by the king, the Ouch
ess of the Abruzzi takes her place
among Italian royalty. And should
chance make her husband king, she
would be queen. Think o. tan
American girl queen Of Italy!
Everybody in Washington knows
Miss Katherine Elkins. She made her
debut in 1903-she is 25 years old
now. Her father is multi-millionaire,
owning railroads, mines and lumber
enterprises enough to capitalize the
kingdom of Italy. Her grandfather,
Henry Gassaway Davis, once sena-
tor, too, is also a vastly Itch man-so
rich that he ran for vice-president
once. Much of this wealth will eventu-
ally go to Miss Elkins Just now Miss
Elkins has $2,OOO,O0O which she can
call her own.
Insisted on Her Own Way.
When Miss Elkins was ready to
enter society she showed OF what stuff
she was made. She ruled against any
thing that savored of just a debutante
tea
IF 1 can't come out without this
nonsense" she declared, Il won't come
out at all"
So it went on, season after season,
until the duke of the Abruzzi came
here. He had met American girls be-
fore, but here was a different kind.
This particular pair met at the TIA
liam embassy. The duke had come -
America in command of the italian
warships sent to take part in the festI-
vities at jamestown.
1t was very apparent that Miss Ell
kins made deep impression upon the
duke. He not only lost no opportunity
to be near her, but he developed a
ready wit in making othe- opportuni-
ties.
The Italian warships sailed back to
sunny Italy The duke was in COM
mand and perforce had to go along.
Washington forgot he had ever been
there
But not the duke!
Nor Miss Elkins.
In the summer she went abroad with
her mother, as usual. 1t CHANGED that
the duke of the Abruzzi ran across the
Elkins party in Paris. They met again
in Vienna.
Drawn Back to America.
Though there was no Italian fleet to
come here in the autumn, the duke of

A combined attack on the powers of

made before the supreme court of
Wisconsin by attorneys for four rail
roads. The supreme court justices
have invited the attorneys to argue
these three questions: What is the
scope of review by the courts of orders
of the railroad commission of Wiscon-
sin, contemplated in the railroad COM
mission act? " us it within the legis-
lative power to confer upon the courts
authority to review the reasonable
ness of rules, or orders of the railroad
commission" What is the true con-
struction of the word unreasonable in
said section?" In these questions is
involved the general propositions of
the constitutionality of the law itself.

in Washington given by Mr. and Mrs

to President Roosevelt, introduced the
handsome young Italian prince to the
senator's daughter.
Everybody in Washington exerted
themselves to entertain the duke when
he was here officially, but it was left

Let me do something for you," she
said, chatting one day with the duke.
'I'll give you a dinner, a dance or a

party was whizzed up to Rauscher's,

dancing.
To his amazement the duke had en-
