KING MANUEL IN
ENGLAND TO GET
HIMSELF A BRIDE
Coterie Of Princesses Adorn
Themselves as Offerings
for His Choice.

London, Nov. 24.-There are futter-
Ing hearts in the royal palaces of Eng
land. Even staid old Windsor wears
an air of gallantry.
Whether In trepidation or in hope
the youthful princesses are choosing
ball gowns and dreaming dreams. For
today the young king comes to find
his bride-young Manuel. of Portugal,
the modern Paris coming to give judg-
ment.
Yesterday the king reached Cher
bourg from Bordeaux. With winsome
patience of delay he met brifiy a mere
prophet of the great French republic
and hurried to the waiting royal yacht,
Victoria and Albert, which will bring
him In the morning to E~ngland-and
his fate.
A trim and dashing figure in his
striking uniform he looked every
inch a king" And his romantic mis-
sion Of which all England is convinced,
has made the tragic boy seem like a
prince who has just stepped out of a
fairy story.
All England is Specializing on the
identity of the princess whom the royal
guest Of King Edward may one day
carry home to share the troubled
throne Of Portugal.
King Edward, shrewdest of royal
matchmakers, undoubtedly has his
choice, but the true romance of the
matter lies in the undisputed fact that
King Manuel will have the final say.
1t Is said that the elder daughter of
the princess royal Is King Edwards
choice. But sh>-the Princess Alexan-
dra-has objections to becoming a
queen, If reports are true. She wants
to wed an English nobleman and ru-
NOR has 1t that h may marry the
Marquis Of Stafford.
1t is said the young princess is dis
heartened by the experiences of Ena,
OF Battenberg, as the queen of Spain.
But another princess Of Battenberg,
Louisa, the -~-year-old daughter of
Admiral Prince Louis, Of Battenberg,
is mentioned as another possibility for
the royal match.
And the young Princess Maud of
Fife, is also looked Upon as a maybe,
IL not a would-be queen.

EAT Wild CATS TO
GROW MORE FIERCE
Chinese Tong Warriors Believe
Meat Will Make Them More
Bloodthirsty.

San Francisco, Nov. 24.-Wild cat
meat is at a premium in the Chinese
quarters of this city as a result of
the strife between the zee family and
the On Yick tong, which has brought
about six murders in or near San Fran
cisco since the first of November.
There Is a superstitious belief among
the Chinese that If their warriors are
fed on the flesh Of wild cats they will
assimilate the ferocity of the beasts
and their fighting efficiency be much
improved. The butchers Of the quarter
are driving a thriving trade in wild
cat meat among the two clans now at
war.
More Killing Expected.
There has been no relaxation of the
vigilance of the police of Chinatown
SQUAD. The detectives who are ming
ling with the Chinese every day say
tina more killings are certain to come
before the feud dies out. Every promi-
nent Chinese who is remotely connected
either with the On Yicks or the Yee
family, is surrounded by a bodyguard
of white men whenever he appears on
the streets as 1t Is known that prices
have been set on the heads Of many of
the warning factions. The hair of one
doomed man Is said to be turning whit

Wild Cats in Windows.
To the casual observer, the Chinese
quarter looks as peaceful as though
tong wars were a thing unknown. The
inhabitants shuttle about their every
day concerns without betraying any in
dication of nerve strain or fear on their
impassive faces. The only unusual
sights are the displays made by hard
ware dealers, who have given revolvers
Of all ages and makes conspicuous
places in their windows, and the wild

ARRoR DAY

State superintendent G.. P. Cary
has just sent out the 1909 number of
the Wisconsin Arbor and Bird Day
annual with Governor Davidson's proc
lamation fixing Friday, May 7th, as
the date for this year.
This number compiled by state IL
brary clerk O. S. Rice is an especially
valuable one containing several large
colored plates of native birds and ar
ticles by such men as Pres. V. E. Nc
Caskill, of the Superior Normal school
E. M. Griffith and S. B. Tobey. of
Wausau. Conservation of our forests
seems to be the burden of it's message
and parents and teachers are urged to
enlist the aid of the children in effort
to reduce the great yearly loss of
timber by fire, which last year, accord
ing to the report of fire wardens was
over one million acres. Sixty per cent
of this was caused by farmers while
clearing, fifteen per cent by locomo-
tives and the balance is due to the
carelessness of hunters, trappers, In
dams, campers, lightning and travellers
along the highways.
An interesting feature of the annu-
al is the article on the contest for
state flower between the four flowers
chosen at the primary" last year,
when the violet, wild rose, trailing
arbutus and white water lily were the
four highest in the balloting. The state
flower will be chosen by ballot from
these four on Arbor Day this year, by
the pupils of the public and parochial,
and high schools and academies.
Parents visiting schools on that day
may also vote. -Medford Star-News.

QUARANTINE

You have often heard the express
ion: '"The innocent should not be
made to suffer with the guilty Yet,
we are, made to suffer for the needless
acts OF others every day. The Com
missioner of Health found it necessary
this week to close the schools and for
bid allpublic or private gatherings, in
order TO stop the spread of a contagi-
Gus disease. Why so stringent an
order? Because some families which
had become infected neglected to call
a physician and permitted their child
rem to mingle with other children until
the extent of the spread of the disease
cannot be determined at the present
time. This amounts to criminal neg
ligence, and persons who wilfully fail
to observe quarantine regulation should

SOME ANCIENT HISTORY

IL is sometimes amusing to read
campaign arguments after the election
IS over. Here is something from last
week s issue of the official organ:
IL Mr.. Maloney had taken his an
nouncement out of his own paper last
week no one would have known that
he was running for Office"
After election the office of the un-
official organ ought to be fumigated.
Not before, however, because it is
making votes for Judge McGill in
every issue, and while, perhaps, he
will not need them, they will help
swell his majority"

THE BACK YARD AS AN INDEX

And as is the back yard, so is the
character than in the back yard.
Phrenology and Prof. Munsterberg s
clever machines are mere toys for am
ateurs in comparison. If you want to
know whether man is fit for respon-
sibilities, if he is trustworthy and res
poets himself, if he is capable of beat
ing his wife or of trumping his part
ner's ace, simply stroll nonchalently
down the alley and rubberneck over
his back yard fence. One glance will
be sufficient to fix his status as a man
and a citizen. The lace curtains at the
front windows may be, and frequently
are, simply bluff, but the back yard
never lies. If there are any skeletons
in the family the back yard is their
stamping ground. You can rely upon
the rectitude of the man who the year
around keeps his back yard immacu-
lately neat. You can rest assured that
he is not the kind who make hurry
touches for fives and tens, and send
the kids across for emergency loans of
flour, eggs and coal. But the man who
neglects his back yard is fit for trea-
son, stratagems, and spoils. When
you move into new neighborhood you
can easily cast horoscope of your fu-
ture relations by a glance at the ad-
jacent back yard. The back yard may
equivocate at times, but it never lies.
