JUDGE TELLS OF FISHING
J. v. Quarles Says He Has Found
Peerless Bass Pool

Judge j. v Quarles, back from his
vacation on Manitoulin island, brown
as a berry, and the picture of health,
is enthusiastic In describing the en-
joyment he had on the island on the
edge of Georgian Bay.
81 had an elegant time, s" said Judge
Quarles, "Eand some of the finest fish
ing [ have had for long time. There
is a lake back in the island which is
fed by Lake Superior water. 1t has
apparently no inlet or outlet and seems
to be supplied by the water yelling
up from the bottom. But it is filed
with small mouthed black bass and
such sport you never saw! I stopped
at a farmhouse near the lake and had
my fill of fishing.
"'The lake is beginning to be known
among fishermen, but there had not
been enough visitors to spoil it and
there was no difficulty in getting a
good string of fish whenever / cared
to go out. That Georgian bay region
is one of the most beautiful spots in
the country. Eventually, as people
come to realize it's beauty, it will be
the summer resort region of the
country"

ASSOCIATION SENDS WARMING
Declares That the Observance of Sim
pie Rules of the Road Will Do Away
With a Great Deal of the Danger
in Automobile Touring.

In view Of the increasing number of
accidents, the question is frequently
asked: edo automobiles know the
rules of the road?'
In many cases the accidents, some
times resulting in fatalities both to
motorists and innocent pedestrians,
have been due directly to ignorance of
the ordinary rules of the road or to
the supreme carelessness Of automobile
drivers in ignoring the simple regula
tions Of the American Automobile AS
ISOLATION.
So fragrant has this tendency to
recklessness become, it is said, in spite
Of the efforts being made by leading
clubs throughout the country to CO.
operate with city and county officials
in observing the legal regulations, that
word Of warning has been issued by
President l.. r. Speare Of the American
Automobile Association. His endea-
vors to control the present wave of
recklessness have been enthusiastically
seconded by officials Of clubs and NUM-
cipal associations. In general letter
to automobile clubs National Presi-
dent Speare says:
Many Of the recent deplorable acct
dents might have been avoided by the
observance of the simple road rules
and sane driving. There is also too
much recklessness in crossing railroad
and surface car lines, as we'll as in
passing electric cars in city streets
when passengers are alighting. Again
many motorists in descending hills
even if not very long or steep ones,
persist in keeping practically the full
power of their motor on. If more
motorists would throttle down the en-
CINE or totally disengage it while de-
scending a hill, the number of acct
dents from this source would be ma
W. l1liy uOOlOc1oOu' w ACH CHO HlotOl
ist suddenly finds himself in tight
place while descending hill under full
power or even partially SO and loses
control of his car, it is the most natural
thing in the world to attribute the
difficulty to the failure of steering gear
to work properly, whereas there would
probably have been no trouble at all
were the machine allowed to coast
down gradually under it's own momen-
| tum.
Some of the ordinary rules of the
road which every motorist ought to
know by heart and invariably observe
are:
/. Keep to the right when overtak-
en- by a passing automobile or other
vehicle going in the same direction.
2. Keep to the left when about to
pass another vehicle going in the
same directions; in other words, the
automobilist should pass another We
hicle going in the same direction on
the left hand side
3. Pass to the RICH when meeting a
vehicle moving in the opposite direc-
ton.

BITTEN By A DOG
w. Stone Acts as Peacemaker in a Dog
Fight and is Sorry Now

It doesn't pay to act as peace
maker and William Stone, who resides
at Is Maplewood avenue, found this
out on Wednesday afternoon when he
acted as peacemaker In fight between
a bull dog and a brindle pup. Stone
thought that the pup was getting the
worst of it and went to it's rescue.
Both of the dogs resented his intru-
sion into their settlement of private
difficulties and as a result Stone was
badly bitten in the hand. The wound
was so serious that he called in DR..
Munroe to cauterize it. 1t is said that
there is no danger of Stone getting
hydrophobia as result Of his accident
but he will have a sore hand for sew
eral days.

John I. Beggs Gives Motor
men and Conductors an In
crease of Cent an Hour
M. R. & X. men ARE INCLUDED

John [. Beggs, president and gen
eral manager of 7. M. E. R. and L.
company, at the company's picnic at
Waukesha beach on Wednesday, an
nounced an increase in wages for all
motormen and conductors, averaging
II cent an hour, to be effective Sept. l.
The announcement was met with pro-
longed cheers, not the least emphatic
coming from the women.
The new wage scale will be: First
year, 20 cents an hour; second year,
81 cents; third year, % cents; fourth
year, % cents; fifth year, "a cents;
for service after the fifth year 25 cents
The present rate is, for the first year,
10 cents; for the second year, 20 cents;
for the third year, q cents; for the
fourth and fifth year, % cents.
The men in service four years and
more gain most.
"What [ will now announce, take
it, will be most pleasing to the en-
ployes and their families, +" said Mr.
Beggs, preceding the announcement
Following it he said, "This will give
to every motorman and conductor in
the service at least l cent per hour
and to some it will give more
GA few minutes ago." said Mr.
Beggs, 81 reverted to the fact that the
great body of employees of this com
rany have gone through a great sea
son of depression in the last two years
without the hours of labor being cur
tailed and without the wages being af-
fected.
"The year 1907, toward the later
end, brought about great slump in
the business of this corporation. 1t
began to fall off at about the time of
our annual picnic in 1907 and by the
end Of that year we were in the midst
of the greatest financial panic this
country has ever known. Our earn
lngs fell off greatly
After reviewing the situation, Mr.
Beggs took on more optimistic tone,
predicting an era of unexampled pros
perity.
~ predict" he said, H'barring the
work of demagogues, cheap politicians
and yellow journals, that we are en-
tering upon the greatest era Of pros
perity that has ever been experienced.
How long it will continue will devolve
upon the mechanical classes and labor
ing men of the country and whether
they can be misled. "
Mr.. Beggs said that it had been
struggle to keep large properties up
and maintain wages. He said he had
hoped to announce the wage increase
before this time.
The proposed increase not only af-
fects the men employed in Milwaukee,
but also the men working on the Mil
waukee, Racine and Kenosha cars.

KEY TO CHILD.S MIND

This Particular Case 1t Was

A Chicago school and home visitor
tells this story: Mary was the ter

ions. 1t was fight. fight from morning
until night. She threw erasers and
books at her teachers and at the other
children, she broke every rule and
was a problem. When | visited her
home found Mary was the little
drudge, doing all the work and caring
for the sick mother. We found work
fer fbe boys out of work, sent the lit
tie ones to kindergarten and moved
the family into a new locality. Mary's
new teachers were willing to helr
make a new girl of her. One morning
when ! visited her school Mary came
to me and whispered: Miss B, | want
to tell you something all by yourself
where no one can hear Us. It is some
thing you must not tell anyone ]
took Mary off by herself and she
looked at me with an expression ]
shall not soon forget and said: Miss
b., / love music Here was the gold
en- key which would unlock Mary's
stubborn little heart. ! took her to a
music teacher, who promised to train
her voice as soon as Mary is old
enough, and in the meantime a happy
little girl trudges to "a piano teacher
once a week and has been told how to
care for her body and her voice s.
that she may some day become a real
ly fine singer"
