EVENED UP WITH THE FARMER.
Scientific Elimination of an Over
charge for Beer at Summer
Boarding House.

Scientific Elimination of an Over
charge for Beer at a Summer
Boarding House.
A boarder at Massachusetts farm
| house evened up an overcharge by the
| landlord in the following fashion this
summer.
When he arrived for a fortnight's
stay he learned that the town in
which the farm was situated was a
temperance town. and that the near
est source of supply for malt and spir-
ituOus nuenchers was some "+~ht miles
away When he asked the dlord to
brine ~ couple cases of beer the
next tine he went to town he was
blar ~ informed:
There's no need of that I have
adopted you as a member of my FAM
lily, and I always have some beer on
hand for my own"
This was all right, and during the
remainder of his stay the guest con-
sumed beer as his thirst and fancy
demanded.
when lie CdIl0 10 SSIIIS HIS UlIl just
before leaving, he discovered that he
had been charged with some ten bot
ties which he had not consumed. Not
wishing to make a fuss over so small
a matter, he cast about for some way
to even 1t up.
Engaging the farmer in converse
ton about prospective improvements
on the place, he suggested that some
beer would make matters more socia-
BILE. and 1t was brought The circle
was then enlarged by two new mem
bers and more beer was asked for,
brought and consumed, and so it went
for some time.
The departing guest suggested that
he pay for the beer, but this offer was
rejected; so he made himself COM
Portable and kept up the interest I'M
til some fourteen bottles had been
Amptied, when he tied himself away
with glowing satisfaction at having
squared things SO far as his over
charge was concerned without leaving
suspicion behind as to his dark in
tentions

NO CROP FAILURE HERE

The indications are that the corn crop
of Northern Wisconsin this season will
exceed that of some equal areas OF the
states in the ''corn belt" The heat OF
last week, coupled with protracted
drouth in western Nebraska and Kan
sas and some parts of Iowa will result
in many magnificent fields Of corn stalks
failing to bear single. ear. A large
part of the corn of these states was
lust at the stage where 104 degree tenn
perature cooked the tassel.
A Kansas exchange says:
The weather the last two weeks has
been the worst ever in this part of the
country. From daylight till midnight
nature has siZzled in an almost unbear-
able heat.
FMS part of the country is still in
the grasp of the drouth and while the
last two or three days have been a little
cooler than the proceeding sixteen there
is still little prospects OF immediate
precipitation. Some people will have
corn and some will not.
A Nebraska paper says:
Much as we hate it it becomes neces-
sary to admit that corn in this section
has been fearfully damaged by the ter
rible heat and dry weather that has
prevailed for more than two weeks.
Up to August the corn prospects were
the best we ever saw here but now
many fields will make practically moth
ing at all. The heat simply burned the
tasseI and scorched the entire stalk.
Probably nothing looks more enticing
to the farmer who has grubbed among
the stumps ali his life than the bound
less fertile prairie, free from stones and
stumps, which produces the "bumper'
crop-when it rains. And the prairie
states have had five or six years OF
plenteous rainfall, which have made
many land owners wealthy and able to
stand a failure. But the renter, who
has had to give half or two-fifths OF
the crop for rent, is seldom in a posi-
ton to stand the loss. The north Wis
consin farmer, who has worked as
faithfully and intelligently on his own
land as has his brother with the 100
acre corn field on the prairie, at the
end of five good years has got more to
show for his labor. There are ex-
amples to prove this fact right here in
Rusk county. Besides that, ne is not
taking the chance of a crop failure.

years he has been engaged in fight of
which the founding of his Juvenile
Court was only the merest skirmish.
1t is fight that has carried him in
to politics to find both political parties
against him. 1t has been carried on
without the consistent support of any
newspaper, and with now one, now the
other, and at times all the party or
gans in Denver cartooning and attack
ing him. The thieves, the gamblers,
the saloon-keepers and the prostitutes
have been cheered on against him.
There have been times when even the
churches have been afraid to aid him.
Men of wealth-the heads of street
railway, the telephone company, the
gas and electric company, the water
company and most of the other Denver
corporations and combinations of fin
ance-haye made it their particular
ambition and personal aim to beat him
down and crush him out of public life.
He has fought alone-at times abso-
lutely alone. And he is still fighting!
He has been offered brides that might
buy millionaire. He has been pro-
missed career in politics, a fortune in
law. He has been given the hope of
worldly preferments that might seduce
the highest ambition.
When these have failed to win him,
he has been threatened with all the
punishments that the most unscrupu-
lous power and bitterest hate could con-
ceive. 70 destroy his reputation, false
affidavits have been sworn out by fall
en- women accusing him of the lowest
forms of vice. Attempts have been
made to lure him to houses of ill-repute
where men were lying in wait to ex-
pose him. The yilest stories about him
have been circulated in venomous whis-
pers from man to man and woman to
woman. Friends have been frightened
or bought or driven from him. His
life has been threatened. Special laws
have been introduced at the State Cap
itol against him.. The Denver Chamber
of Commerce has publicly branded him
an enemy Of the state. At times the
very lights In his rooms at the Court
House have been cut off-as the last
and smallest annoyance of spite-and
he has had to go to the corner drugstore
at night and buy himself candles to
continue his work Harvey J. O'Hig-
gins, in September Everybody's.

1t is announced semi-oficially that
President Taft has directed that the
standing army be reduced by 5000
men. This would mean that the army
would be brought down to 10000
officers of the army and those who de-
sire the maintenance of a large army
are emphatic in protest against this
action. They had program outlined
to ask Congress to authorize an in
crease in the army. If the President
persists in the plan he has outlined,
while it may not please the advocates
of a large army, it is bound to be pop
ular with the taxpayers and there are
great numbers of this class.

Congressman Charles Newall of New
Jersey "a Beloit College boy, by the
way) is out in an open letter to Speak
er Cannon, in which he arraigns the
public record of Uncle Joe in most
scathing terms. In closing, he re-
marks: eff the Republican party
wins the next Congressional election,
it will only be upon the grave of
Cannonism." So the republican party
is to challenge Cannonism! A man by
the name of Lenroot did that in the
18th Wisconsin district more than a
year ago, and they called him demo
crat. 1t must be that our congress
man is little more far-sighted than
some of the rest of his mates in con-
gress.
