"What sort OF a heroine does a WO-
man like best in her bcoks?" is a con-
undrum propounded by the London
Book Monthly. In answer it has been
said that woman in a theatre is al
ways more interested in the hero of q
play than i'll the heroine, while her
chief sympathy when she is reading a
book goes out to the heroine rather
than to the hero.

TAFT's SERVICE TO LABOR.
Destroyed the Old English Law As
sumption that Union Labor IL a
Conspiracy.

Destroyed the Ola EnGusn Inv hs-
sumption that Union Labor Is IA
Conspiracy.
(From the Emporia (Kan.) Gazette
The simple fact is thai no man has
done more to place union labor on a
sound, square, law-abiding, respected
footing than William ii. Taft by his
decisions in labor cases Both employ
ers and employed have acknowledged
the justice of his decisions and learned
to abide by them, and to-day there Is
not an intelligent worker or fair
minded employer who would seek to
abrogate them.
Judge Taft lifted union labor from
the doubt and uncertainty as to its
rights which had before prevented and
gave Ii a standing which ii has ever
since retained, and which has proved
under his rulings, secure against all
attack. The old assumption, derived
from England. that union labor Is
conspiracy, and that workers could be
prevented from leaving railway or
other employment at their will. was
swept away forever by Judge Taft so
far as the United States is concerned
and when an attempt was made, years
later, to revive the principle, Judge
Tafts decision was quoted successfully
by the labor side to defeat the plea.
Mr.. Taft was and is labors' friend,
because he is absolutely just, and
would no more permit wrong to be
done to the poorest laborer in the land
than he would to any one else. And
the honest. law-abiding workers asks
and expects no more than this.

TWESME AUTHOR OF AID.
Trempealeau County AssembIyman
Nominee Denies Libel

La Crosse.-Albert T. TWesme, Re
publican nominee for assembly in
Trempealeau county issued a state
ment in which he accepts full responsl-
bility for the advertisement which
Herman L. Ekern has made the basis
Of a libel suit.
Twesme says he sent out the ad-
vertisement in the ordinary course OF
his campaign, that it was printed IN
number of papers, including one which
supported Ekern for the nomination,
and that he made no secret of its au'
thorship. He denies the article is
libelous and challenged Ekern to call
him to the witness stand. 1t was eX-
pected that the proceedings will be
dropped as the announced purpose OF
the examination under the discovery
statute was to find out who furnished
the Objectionable article.

WISCONSIN HAPPENINGS TOLD
IN BRIEF FORM.
FIND A MUTlLATEO BODY
With Head. Arms, and Legs of Re.
mains Missing, kenosha Has
Killing Mystery - May
Have Been Suicide

kenosha.-The dismembered body
of a man was found in the woods on
the John Riley farm, six miles south
of kenosha. The head. arms and legs
of the body are missing and the
thoracic cavity had been torn open and
the heart, lungs and bowels ripped
out. The body was dried up and all
but mummified and from the appear
ance had been lying in the thicket for
several months 1t had been partially
torn away by dogs and one of the
bones showed that a dog had been
gnawng at it within the last few days.
Whether the man was a victim of
suicide and torn to pieces by dogs or
whether other portions of the body
have been thrown some other place is
merely a matter Of conjecture. A
short distance away from the place
where the trunk was found the coroner
picked up a .3S caliber-revolver with
one chamber empty and in another
about two dollars in cash. A pair of
gloves We're found little ways from
the remains.
The man had evidently been dressed
in neat black suit and the underwear
was of the best quality. There was
absolutely nothing on the clothing
which would reveal the identity of
the dead man or the manner of his
death.

COPPER GOING INTO SHIPS.

The three big hattleshfps recently
launched in Great Britain, Bellero-
phon, Temeraire and Superb, will
consume 3,650,000 pounds of Ameri-
can lake and electrolytic copper, and
100000 pounds will be required for
each of the three big battleshi Is
whose keels are to be laid at once in
England. For account of the men
ot-war on the stocks of Continental
Europe, 100000 pounds of Lake
and Electrolytic copper will be need
ed within year. The merchantile
marine contracts under way in Eu-
ropean yeards will consume $1,000
900 pounds of copper within year.
Although work is slack at domestic
shspyards, the tonnage under cen
tract will call for the consumption OF
100000 pounds of lake, electrolytic
and casting copper within year. The
navy yards, ordnance works and the
mint are consuming annually aDrpt
100000 pounds of copper. The
ship repairing plants on both oceans
and along the Great Lakes are work
ing up about 100000 pounds OF
copper a year in various forms OF
bronze and brass.
