The OId.Fashioned Bonnet.

How dear to my heart is the old-fash-
toned bonnet
The old-fashioned bonnet Nell used
TO wear;
Without any plums and red cherries
stuck on tt
The bonnet that didn't require
phony hair.
The dishpan effect may be stylish and
stunning,
The waste-paper basket that lately
come in
May be quite the rage and recherche
and cunning
But give me the hat she tied under
her chin.

by tramps, the $4,000 barn of Albert
G. Barnes, of Vernon was destroyed
Sunday night. The hay and other
contents also burned. AS the big barn

be burned, the town having no fire

saved them, however.

Or Those Who Walk Alone.

Women there are on earth, most
sweet and high,
Who lose their own, and walk be-
reft and lonely
Loving that one most heart until they
die,
Loving it only.
And so they never see beside them
Children, whose coming is like
breath of flowers;
Consoled by subtler loves tire ANGELS
know
Through childless hours.
Good deeds they do; they comfort
and they bless
In duties others put off till the NOR
row:
Their look is balm, their touch is ten
derness
To all in sorrow.
Betimes the world smiles at them as
it were shame
This maiden guise, long after
youths departed;
But in Gods book they hear another
name
1.-THE faithfulhearted."
Faithful in life, and faithful unto
death
Such souls in sooth, illumine with
luster splendid
That glimpsed, glad hand whereon
the vision saith,
Earths wrongs are ended.

THE deadlock was broken at Madison
on the 4th of March and Isaac Stephen
son was elected United States senator
to succeed himself by majority of just
one in joint session.
AS soon as the result of the joint bal
lot was announced, Senator Blaine, who
was the author of the charges that are
being considered by the joint legisla-
tive committee investigating the prim-
airy campaign, arose and secured the
recognition of the chair.
He entered protest against the cleo
ton, on the alleged ground that Isaac
Stephenson had violated the corrupt
practices act. The protest was ignored
and Stephenson was formally declared
elected. The joint session was then de-
clared dissolved.
Stephenson's election was made pos
sible by three democrats walking out Of
the joint assembly-Messrs Ramsey,
Farrell and Towne. These men dis
graced themselves in doing this. There
was an investigation in progress and
Senator Stephenson was on trial for the
corrupt use of money in the election a
and primaries, and the vote should have
gone against him every time until the
charges were proven false. 1t was
purely stalwart-balf breed fight and
for the next few years the fight will be
the most bitter between the factions
ever known in Wisconsin. A faction
that will place such decrepit old man
as Stephenson in the position of United
States senator, will soon come to the
end of its rope.

A BILL to regulate state water power
has been introduced into the Wisconsin
legislature. 1t provides for a state tax
of 25 cents per horsepower on the devel-
oped powers of the state, increasing a
cent a year per horsepower until it
reaches so cents, when REIMBURSEMENT
is to be made. 1t is estimated only
about third of the waterpowers of
Wisconsin are as yet developed, but it
is thought the bill, if enacted into law,
will at cace yield revenue of $4,000
q year for forestry and conservation
projects in the state as the developed
water power now aggregates about
100000 horsepower.
While this tax is laid upon the devel.
oped powers of the state, existing fran
chises are not otherwise disturbed by
the bill. 1t, however provides the con-
ditions under which future franchises
are to be granted.

people long years of arduous applica-
ton to the exacting demands of the
bench. In this connection it is pleas
ure for the PILOT to call attention to
the candidacy of HON. Henry Miller,
the present county judge, VINO for the
past six zen years has so capably ard
efficiently administered the affairs of
that very important Office, the duties OF
which have grown and multiplied, year
by year. even out of proportion to the
growth aud development of this great
county. Judge Miller's is indeed re-
markabie career of official life, not
only because of his continuous public
service, but because of his strict appli-
cation and devotion to public duty.
