A wifs,s Need.

She needs a good temper, a cheerful
disposition and a knowledge of how
her husband should be treated. She
needs capability of looking on the
right side of life and refusing to be
worried by small things. She needs a
secure grasp Of such subjects as are
of interest to men, and should not be
above studying even politics In order
to understand should her husband
speak OF them. She needs a sympa-
thetic nature in order that, should sor-
row fall upon them, she may be able
to give comfort. She needs to under
stand something Of sick nursing. A
wife with no notion Of what to do In
the case Of illness is but a useless
thing. She needs tact and patience
the one to enable her to know when to
remain silent and vice versa. and the
other to put up with her husband when
his temper is rufied.

Madison. Wis, Feb. 22.-Sensation-
alism marked the session of the SEN
atorial investigating committee
An effort was made to induce Sen
ator Blaine TO testify, and while il
was successful ultimately it was
reached only after stormy session in
which much hard feeling was revealed
and Senator Blaine had made an at
tack on the integrity of the committee
that threw The assembly members in
to a rage.
Upon my own personal response
bility, said Senator Blaine, Il do not
hesitate to say that the side of the
committee which called me this morn
ing did so to aid the defense of Isaac
Stephenson. You can interpret this
as you please
This came cut during the course Of
statement which Mr.. Blaine made to
the committee in explanation of the
fact that he considered himself privi-
legged and not subject TO subpoena.
He explained that the constitution
gave that privilege to the members,
not merely as an individual, but as
the representative of the people who
were entitled to his vote and judg-
ment on all matters pending in the
Legislature and before committee
He protested strenuously against
being called as a witness at this time
and declared it was done through the
insuumentality of the Stephenson
members of the committee.
Nearly all the members Of the com
mittee took part in the discussion of
Blaines statement. Finally a recess
was taken After thai Blaine was
sworn and an effort was made to in
duce him to return, under oath, to
the charges he had personally made
But he refused.
The most interesting fact developed
from Senator Blaine was the manner
in which he secured basis for the spe-
cific charges filed against Senator
Stephenson Admitting that they
were based on hearsay, he maintained
that he considered newspaper reports
and hearsay true some times Asked
how he arrived at the total expendi-
lures of $250,000 which he alleged
Senator Stephenson had used in the
primary campaign, he said Chairman
Edmonds had told him Mr.. Stephen
son had expended $107 900 and the re-
mainder the witness figured had been
spent in operating the Milwaukee
Free Press. Asked if he considered
the Free Press expenses as an inn
proper expenditure in the campaign,
