Babcock was personally very popular
with his colleagues in the House, where
his defeat having been brought about by
combination between the La Toilette
faction of the Republican party and the
Democrats in Wisconsin, resulted in the
election to the Sixtieth Congress of Rep
resentative Murphy, a Democrat.
Born in Vermont.
Joseph Weeks Babcock was born in
Swanton, Vt, March 6. 1850, a de-
scendant of the Pilgrims. He was the
youngest of four children and when he
was 5 years of age his parents removed
to farm in Butler county, la. He
attended the district school and when the
family removed to Cedar Falls he at
tended the public schools of that place,
later on supplementing his elementary
training with brief course at Mount
Vernon college.
Upon leaving school Mr. Babcock en-
gagged in the lumber business with his
father at Cedar Falls. In 1872 he re-
the Ingram, Kennedy & Day company.
Six years later he bought an interest in
the firm of Weston, Burch & Co., his
former employers. In 1881 he removed
to Necedah, Wis, becoming secretary of
the Necedah Lumber company.
A tireless and energetic business man
it was only natural that he should be in
terested in public affairs and in 1888 Mr.
BabcOck was elected to the state Legis-
lature. He served as chairman of the
committee on corporations and so salts
factory was his work that in 1890, when
few Republican legislators were returned
to office Babcock was reelected. His
strong personality made his influence
felt by all with whom he came in con-
tact and in 1892 the Republicans of the
Third district chose him as their candi-
date for Congress. He was elected over
his Democratic opponent by plurality
1894 and again in 1896, the latter time
II 900 votes.
Mr.. Babcock continued to serve the
Third district in Congress until 1906,
when he was defeated by James w.
Murphy of Platteville. During his first
term Mr.. Babcock was chairman of the
committee on the District of Columbia.
He had been in business all his life and
rapidly grasped the duties of lawmaker
and early in his Congressional career he
was made vice chairman of the national
Republican congressional committee. He
was made chairman of the committee
upon reelection in 1894 and served in
that capacity in all congressional cam
paigns up to 1904. He also served on
the ways and means committee of the
House.
Mr.. Babcock was married in 1867 to
Mary A Finch of Lyons, la. They
have one son, Charles E., who is a resi-
dent of Secedah, and who was at the
bedside at the time of his fathers death.
Since his retiring from public life Mr..
Babcock has made his home in Wash
ington where during his long career in
Congress he had made many friends.

BRIGANDS OF TONKIN.
Lives OF Native Soldiers Too Pre-
cfOus to Risk Against Them.

Lives OF Native Soldiers Too Pre-
cfOus to Risk Against Them.
The outlaws Of Tonkin whom the
speaking, brigands, who infest the
country both on land and water.
One Of their resorts is the province
Of Bacninh, where they have just muir
dered a French officer. There tie
brigands openly and successfully defy
the forces of the government. Long
immunity in that quarter has made
them numerous and formidable. This
need arouse no wonder, considering
that the troops in the field consist OF
native soldiers whose lives are toe
precious to be risked in frontal at
tacks on brigand Businesses.
Just before the murder of the officer
a band of brigands made it's appear
ance on the railway line between
Hanoi and Bacnih and inflicted loss
on some native levies who encounter
ed them. Upon this the resident went
for a detachment of native regulars
to deal a blow at the enemy. The
troops met the brigands intrenched in
q village, one house in which they
had turned into fortress, so to speak
The commander Of the troops found
himself in a fix. To send the regu,
lars across the open to carry the
stronghold by storm, under heavy fire
from the brigands, meant heavy loss
and certain death to many of his mer
to little purpose. The only alternative
was to blow up the house along with
its garrison. But this resource failed
him from no explosives being at hand
The result was that the brigands es
capped.
The Haiphong paper rightly won
ders why the troops in the field arr
not supplied with melinite bombs
Such engines of destruction would save
| much loss Of life among the soldiery
operating against the brigands.
Yet no bombs are supplied to tht
troops. though the brigands have of
ten defied them safely from fortified
houses, which the troops would no
attack from fear of loss of life no
worth while to incn, against outlaws
The result of this weak-kneed POI
icy is that the brigand bands in that
section of Tonkin increase steadily il
numbers and strength. PeSsimists say
that in time they viii become too many
to be terrified by melinite bombs

churches perpetuated and increased the
political differences. From sos A. D.,
to 1853 A. D., the eastern empire, with
its seat at Constantinople. kept alive
Roman civilization and maintained on
its temples the Christian cross.
Learning conferred at Constantinople
as at Rome, and the antagonism be
tween Rome and Constantinople led to
the assailing of the eastern city by the
crusaders. who captured it in 1904.
For fifty-seyen years the crusaders
held sway: then, in 1851. they aban-
doned the city and it fell back to its
old position as the center of the east

manned came, in the memorable siege

me there passed a dog fox, evidently
hunted and dead tired. He paused in
the roadway some fifteen yards in front
OF where l stood, when to my astonish-
ment he was joined by a vixen, appar-
emily quite fresh.
They trotted on up the pathway for
twenty yards side by side, looking for
all the world as if they were holding
a whispered conversation, when to nv
surprise the vixen turned back DELHI

yards, crossing and recrossing in order,
