The stress which Christian Endeavor
has laid upon good citizenship has
been of incalculable influence In the
creation of the new and llveiier sense
of civic obligation which prevails In
this. our day. A strong body of young
men have taken up the duties OF citi-
zenship In a quiet, careful. thorough
going manner that has effected results.
Some of these have gone into public
life; all Of them have made them-
selves a force for righteousness. So
they may fairly be rated as one of
the distinctive achievements of the
Christian Endeavor movement.

BlOOded Mares for Wisconsin

Possibly tho greatest opportunity that
has been offered to Wisconsin farmers
for years is now before them. The IA
nous Pabst Stock Farm at OcOnOmowOc
is offering for sale fine collection of
high grade Percheron matched fillies
and mares broken to harness-many of
them in fOal to pure bred stations.
These splendid Percherons are being
sold purely with the idea of raising the
horse standards among Wisconsin farm
ers and, with this aim in view, are Of
fered at work horse prices ranging all
the way from $500 to $4,000.
We cannot too strongly advise our
readers to go and purchase from this
splendid stock. The opportunity that
is offered to Wisconsin farmers to secure
these PercherOns is unparalleled and ad-
vantage of it should be taken at once.
1t is unnecessary for this paper to COM
ment upon the desirability of keeping
these horses in the etete for foundation
stock. Every farmer is unquestionably
fully informed on their value. Do not
let this opportunity slip-gO at once and
look them over.

presidency is mad. He was sena-
torial candidate before the democratic
caucus and was defeated by one, Ben
jamin Shively of South Bend, a man
of means. Kern proposes to show up
the peculiar political tactics which
accomplished his defeat. The writer
has beens undeceived, as he had been
led to believe by democratic speakers
and newspapers that the democrats
where poor and honsst, the same as
they are in Milwaukee.
A bill has been introduced in the
senate by Senator Hopkins of illinois,

ed that the cost would not exceed

does not look upon our ex-presidents
as mendicants who in retirement must
be supported at public expense. With
only two exceptions our presldendts
have been in comfortable circumstances
when they retired to private life, and
only asked for the respect of their
countrymen. Should misfortune be the
experience of any in the days to come,
which is improbable, the people will
see that they will be taken care of.

A Curious Music Box.

In the South Kensington museum, in
London, is a curious musical box. 1t
was originally the property of Tipu Tor
Tippoo) Sahib, the "Tiger Of Mysore,"
who died in 1899, being killed during
the British assault and capture of Ser
ingapatam, the capital Of Mysore. He
always hated the British, and to show
his enmity he had this instrument con-
structed. The box is a life sized stat
uary group showing the symbolic tiger
Of India at the throat Of England, rep
resented by a British officer. When
Tippoo wished to amuse his court one
of his attendants turned handle, when
the tiger emitted horrible growls and
the man raised and lowered his arms
and uttered terrifying shrieks. Inside
the tiger are four rows Of pipes and a
set of ivory keys, which are either Of
French or British manufacture.

A state legislature that wastes time
at the start is mighty certain to make

matters at the end of the session and
put upon the statute books uf the state

sional exception. The man who at
tends strictly to business without any
feathers is the man who usual
ly gets ahead in the confidence of the
people. The political wayside is lined
with loud-mouthed politicians who,
like the Goldfish, had more mouth than
brains.
"Impulsive insanity is the latest
defense for wealthy criminals in muir
del. eases. If few juries would be
afflicted with impulsive sense and
judgment in rendering verdicts, we
would hear less about imp1lsive in
sanity and there would be a few less
murderers at large. The plea of t'im-
pulsive insanity is as destitute of
merit as it is Of sense and should not
receive any consideration whatever by
a jury. Invariably. the man who
commits murder and interposes such
plea, arms himself and goes DELHI
erately to slay his victim, notably
Thaw and Hams, who were murderers
at heart before committing murder.
1t has been said that no rich man can
be convicted of murder no matter how
wicked and unprovoked his crime may
be. and 1T is high time that few
were convicted and punished just to
show that the law is not farce and
humbug. and that the rich receive
their deserts as well as the poor.
