OPPOSES FREE LUMBER,
Senator Piles of Washington Urges Re-
tention of Duty as a Protection
to American Lumbermen.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May "a
plea against free lumber and story of
oriental labor figuring in the difference
of cost between the two sides of the
Canadian boundary line, featured a
speech made in the Senate today by Sen
ator Piles of Washington.
He contended that a tariff sufficient
to save the American manufacturer the
United States market for his low grade
lumber and shingles will make it pos
sible for him to utilize every part of the
tree If this market were taken posses
sion of by the Canadian manufacturers,
the American lumbermen, he said, would
be obliged to leave large per cent. of
the tree in the forest, total loss and
constant fire merace to the standing
timber.
Mr. Piles declared that practically the
only persons seeking a lumber tariff re-
duction are American owners Of timber
in Canada. He presented an appeal
from the Washington Forest Fire assoc
citation against any reductions. He eX-
hibited an original proposed contract OF
sale that Canadian lumbermen had sub
mitted to American consumers in which
they stipulate that one-haf of the reduc-
ton in duty shall be paid to them.

EDGAR HAS MYSTERY
Complete Set of Burglar Tools Found
at Depot and Police Are Look
ing for Owner.

WAUSAU, Wis, May 1.-[SpeciaI.l
Whether or not or or more of the
business places Of til illage of Edgar
was marked for burglary and for what
purpose a kit of burglar tools was
brought into the village is a question the
residents of the place would like to have
answered. The local authorities were
notified yesterday by Martin Keefe of
Edgar that a complete kit of tools had
been found at the depot, but as no crime
had been committed no action was taken.
1t is said the kit included drills, pliers
bottle containing nitroglycerine, re-
volver, a dark lantern and all other i'm
plements used by burglars in entering
buildings and blowing up safes. No
clue has been secured as to the identity
of the person leaving the kit there, but it
is presumed that it had been planned to
dynamite a safe in one of the business
places and the tools were found before
the owners had a chance to use them.

CIVIL SERVICE
BILL REPORTED
STATE OFFICERS LOSE IN FIGHT TO
BE GIVEN ABSOLUTE POWER
OF DISCHARGE.
APPEAL TO COMMISSION
Committee on Claims Will Urge Passage
of Law Giving Discharged En-
ployes Hearing.
ACTION COMES AS A SURPRISE.

MADISON, Wis, May 1.-[Special.l
The civil service commission has won
victory over the state officials in re-
gard to the changes to be made in the
civil service law. A bill has gone to the
committee on claims which embodies the
idea of the civil service commission and
provides that no discharges shall be made
from any state department unless such
discharge is reported to the commission
and an appeal op the part of the en-
ploye lies to the commission if the en-
ploye if the employe so desires.
State Officers Lose
The state officials, with the exception
possibly of Gov. Davidson and Attorney
General Gilbert, have been fighting hard
for a law which should give them an alb
solute power of discharge as far as the
control of employees is concerned. The
officials are much disappointed that the
committee on state affairs has turned
the bill of the civil service commission
over to the committee on claims in the
form it has, and floor fight is promised
over the measure.
The civil service question promised
early in the session to be one of the
hardest subjects with which the Legis-
lature would have to contend as the
state officers are powerful and their in
fuence. it was thought, would go a great
way in defeating the civil service COM
mission.
Employees Favor Bill.
The employees around the capitol are
generally much in favor of the bill in
the form in which it has now been
drawn, as they believe it guards them
from the possibility of unjust discharge
at the hands of state officers. The
question arose over several discharges
treasurer and secretary of state. The
two of these discharges occurring in the
treasury department were the subjects
of litigation and one resulted in the
reinstatement of the discharged employe.

TWO RIVERS, Wis, May 1.-[Spe-

100 of the leading manufacturers and
merchants which took place at the Ho-
tel Hamilton, a Merchants and Manu-

in every way by securing better shipping
facilities by rail and water. Railroad
connections to the north are wanted and
it is purposed to take the matter up and
agitate it, and if need be give the move

Former President Brings Down Another
Lion, Making Four Trophies

NAIROBI, British East Africa, May
3.-Theodorc Roosevelt bagged one more
lion yesterday at Wami, near kapiti.
This gives him a total of three lions and
one lioness in the present expedition.
Kermit Roosevelt succeeded in bringing
down a cheetah. The hunting was ex-
citing, and both marksmen did excellent
work.
The lion killed by Mr.. Roosevelt yes
terday was brought down at close range.
His quick work with the rife saved the
lives of some of his mounted escort, who
had narrow escapes from the Infatuated
beast. The accuracy of Mr.. Roosevelt

CHAPTER VI.

was in a very different humor from that
of an hour before.
All the way down the beach pondered
the matter. How came the locket to
have dropped from the chain, how came
it to have fallen open when the catch
seemed so strong? But these were petty,
trivial questions, the merest introductions
to the great all-absorbing question-how
came Rodney Islip's picture there?
Alas, there seemed only one plausible
explanation, and l remembered the slight
air of proprietorship, the amused smile
as though at some hidden joke, that had
struck me when Islip had come upon US
drinking tea So they were in all like
lihood to be married, and l poor joke
that had been batted back and forth like
a shuttlecock between them. l tried to
laugh as one should who sees a clown,
head in air, stumble over a broomstick,
but the laugh was not even a passable
imitation.
The storm was coming, and | was glad
of it. I wanted no more of this fine
weather when man was led to lapse into
rose-colored dreams and fancy himself
prince with the world as his realm.
The rain began to spin against my
face. The storm was coming fast, and
the waves barked angrily at my feet, like
hounds yelping But l would not run, l

.LEGISL AZURE SURE
TO DRAG INTO JUNE
PROSPECTS OF ADJOURNMENT THIS
MONTH ARE FAST DISAP-
FEARING.
BIG TASKS STILL AHEAD.
Good Roads Matter, Alone, May Cause
Protracted Session by Long
Debate.

MADISON, Wis, May 3. Especial
There is promise of oratory Wednes-
day night when the joint committees on
expedition Of business Of which Senators
Sanborn and Assemblyman Cleary are
chairmen. meet to take up further con-
sideration of the question of adjourn
ment.
Mr.. Cleary was the first exponent Of
the improved theory that both houses
could get through work by May s. He
converted several members to his belief
and by exhortation on the floor and in
the Hobbies almost brought around many
more. That was in March and April
Now he admits that May s is an impos.
sibility. He does maintain, though, that
both houses ought TO get through by
June 1.
Good Roads Stumbling Block.
When the steering committee meets
on Wednesday some plans for the expe-
dition of business will be advanced and
Mr. Cleary is expected to be- one Of
the advancers. More complications, it
is admitted by members have come up
in the way Of early adjournment. One
lies in the fact that the Browne good
roads bill is not progressing favorably.
It has not been acted upon by the Sen
ate and therefore has not even reached
the Assembly committee. on highways:
This is the bill for which a big fight
was made to prevent it's reference to a
special committee to work upon it be-
tween now and the special session in
January. 1t is intimated now that the
question after all may go to a special
committee. This would mean long de-
lay in applying the constitutional amend
ment permitting the state to go into the
good roads business.
June Earliest Day.
Another complication has to do with
the constitution amendment of last fall
extending to six days the time in which
the governor may sign or veto and return
bill to either house. 1t is required that
the Legislature remain in session, at
least in theory, until the, expiration of
the six days. Thus if the Legislature
got through work June 1 it would have
to remain here until June Z. Under a
recent resolution the Assembly commit
tees must report out all Senate bills and
the Senate committees must do the same
by Assembly bills, by tomorrow morn
ing.

Not the Salary but the Opportunity

Not the Salary but the Opportunity.
IF the laborer gets no more than the
wages his employer offers him, he Is
cheated; he cheats himself"
1t is said that Bismarck really
founded the German Empire when
working for a small salary as secre-
tary to the German legation in Russia !;
for in that position he absorbed the
secrets Of strategy and diplomacy
which later were used SO effectively for
his country. He worked SO assiduous-
ly, so efficiently, that Germany priced
his services more than those of the
ambassador himself. If Bismarck had
earned only his salary, he might have
remained a perpetual clerk and Ger
many a tangle Of petty states.
I have never known an employe to
rise rapidly, or even to get beyond me-
diocrity, whose pay envelope was his
goal, who could not see infinitely more
in his work than what he found in
the envelope on Saturday night. That
is a mere incident, q necessity, but the
larger part Of the real pay Of mans
work is outside of the pay envelope.
One part of this outside salary is
the opportunity of the employe to alb
sorb the secrets Of his employers sue
cess, and to learn from his mistakes,
while he Is being paid for learning his
trade or profession. The other part
and the best Of all, is the opportunity
for growth, for development, for men
tai expansion: the opportunity to be-
come a larger, broader, more efficient
man.-Orfson SWEET Marden, in Sue
