Vote for o. ID. Antisdel for County
Superintendent. Why?

has given him knowledge of school
he is therefore better fitted for the
work than any beginner can be.
Because he is the choice of nearly
the entire teaching corps of the county
and has the support of most of the cit
liens who really want better teachers
and better schools. 6
Because he has brought the schools
up to high standard of efficiency and
has discharged the duties of his office
with dispatch, fidelity and ability.
Because his training and experience
especially fit him for this work and in
any other business you naturally select
the man of experience for the best re-
suits.

Dane County Corn Growing Contest.

The Dane County Agricultural So
ciety has offered $3.50 in prizes for the
second corn growing contest. The rules
will be very similar to those of last
year, and every effort will be made to
have the contest fair to all. The Wis
consin No. seed will be used again,
and young people from 10 to 18 years
of age can secure the seed by sending
to the County Superintendent of the
District in which they live, or by writ
ing to Prof. r. A. Moore, at Madison.
Teachers should assist pupils in getting
the seed, and in growing the corn. All
applications for seed should contain five
cents for mailing expense. A. scholar
ship to one weeks course at the Uni
versity will be given the boy who, has
the best ten ears, grown by himself, at
the Dane County Fair. This course
will be in the line of Judging grains and
forage plants. The scholarship will
pay the boys board and railroad fare,
and for Dane county boys should not
exceed eight to ten dollars. If some of
our progressive citizens will notify the
County Superintendent of their willing
ness to contribute to fund for the
purpose, an extra scholarship can De
secured, and two boys sent the course.
This course will be held the first week
in February, 1910.

Looks Like Sullivan.

Unless Fielder Jones changes his
mind in the near future and decides to
return to the White Sox for the coming
season, Billy Sullivan is the legitimate
candidate for manager.
Billy Sullivan has been big factor
in the success of the White Sox since
1901, when he came to Chicago from
the Boston National club. He has been
a ball player all his life. AS boy he
displayed unusual ability in the high
school teams in his Wisconsin home
town. After leaving school he became
backstop of the Fort Atkinson and Ed
gerton clubs. In 1898 he Joined the
Columbus club of the Western league
and the following season was trans
ferred, with his team, to Grand Rapids,
Mich. Just before the close of the sea-
son with Grand Rapids he was sold to
the Boston National league and then to
Comiskey, where he has since been
playing.
Everything hinges on Jones' appear
ance and there are many who think he
will be back in the harness when the
game opens up, but unless he does the
chances of Billy Sullivan as manager of
the White Sox are above par.

How schwab and Carnegie Met.
Did neighbors Of Carnegie in Braddook,
Pa, are telling of the first time Carnegie
met Schwab and how the young man sang
and played his way into the heart OF the
man Of steel. 1t was in the old days Of
"Bill" Jones, former superintendent of the
Edgar Thomson plant, that Carnegie was
living in a little house in Buddock, per-
sonally inspecting everything. He was i'll
with cold one week and could not leave
his home. Jones was ordered to report
to him every night with the days work.
Jones and Carnegie fought so that one
night Jones left the house vowing he would
never again enter it. Next night Jones
said to Schwab, who was a boy in the
office:
Here, take this report down to the
old man. He'll likely snap your head off.
but don't mind that"
schwab took the paper to Carnegie. and
while the steel KIM looked 1t over he
looked at the fine piano.

negie, looking up suddenly and catching
Schwab looking at the instrument.
Yes, SIR" answered Schwab promptly.
'Can you sing?'
Yes, SIR"
"Wnl you play and sing something for
me-" said the steel man, and without q
quaver Schwab went to the piano and be-
gan. schwab had a fine voice and played
well on the piano. For one hour he played
and sang for the sick man and then Car
negie reached out his hand and said:
"Tell Bill Jones to send you every night
with that report. Come early and sing for
4 me again"
And that's how Schwab got his start.

panlon. Corbin had met Taft but once be-
fore, and then only casually, They rode
together, making several changes OF cars,
with the trains all behind the schedule,
but still with considerable enjoyment.
Two days later in Washington Mr.. Root,
then secretary Of war, said to Corbin that
the president was determined to establish
civil government in the Philippines, and
had asked Root to prepare a list of names
from which a governor general could be
selected. Root wanted Corpin to see what
he could do toward increasing the number
of possibilities. With the recent journey
in Ohio fresh in mind, Corbin remarked
that he should think Judge Taft of Gin
cinnati would be about Ine right man.
Root looked out Of the south window Of
his office for a few seconds, and then
turned to Corbin, saying: Il asked for a
suggestion; what you make is nothing less
than an inspiration" Root went straight
to the White House with 1t, and the presi-
dent, equally impressed, telegraphed for
Taft to come on at once. That night Cor
bin hurried over to say to Mckinley that
he was afraid he had recommended Taft
without the presidents knowing all that
he ought to know about him, Corbin add
ing that the judge had said on the train
that he did not view with favor the Amer
lean policy Of holding the Philippines. Nc
Kinley replied that he had heard this, too,
but that it was among the reasons why he
thought Taft would be a good man to help
work out the American problem there.
On reaching Washington Judge Taft con-
firmed this view of his attitude toward
the Philippines. but with reluctance finally
accepted the office OF governor general
Corbin adds that he made a great Philip
pine ruler and that he is now making &
great president. If he had not taken ont
task he would hardly have been called Il
the other. Thus history is made. Corbin'
narrative is entitled to full credence. II

though they are charming when fresh,
but the yellowish and brownish burnt
stEaws change color only with the
dust.
This poke bonnet was trimmed by two
large r~osettes OF straw, one on each side
of the bonnet. A center knot OF color was
surrounded by a ring Of plated burnt
straw, and then came a very rough border
of the color.
A chiffon veil in the color introduced into
the straw rosettes-in one model green, in
another dull blue-wAs folded across the
front OF the bonnet crown, caught under
the rosettes and then left free to be used
as the wearer might prefer.
Several chic little bonnets in one shop
had shapes somewhat like certain Quaker
bonnets or Normandy caps, a narrow cap
like brim united to a draped straw Nor
mandy crown, with only a narrow velvet
band running around the crown.
More extreme shapes show large Nor
mandy crowns and wide poke brims, but
too wide a brim, while affording some
shade tor the eyes, catches the wind and
makes a bonnet or hat pull uncomfor-
tably.

nNMANA AA4A
-IsHOP WILLIAM CROSwELL
w DOANE Of the Protestant Epis-
copal diocese Of Albany, N. Y,
2 in an address delivered recently
FhMfsn before the graduating class OF
N2a8 St Agnes school in Albany, as
sailed the new woman for her efforts to
DO mems work and denounced the woman
suffrage campaign as a "hysterical clamor
employed in the pursuit Of a chimera."
Your w~omanhood is your especial gift
OF grace and honor equal to but different
from the glory Of manhood" he said to
the young woman students. Nothing but
mischief and misery and confusion worse
COMPOUNDED can come from the attempt to
make the two the same. The masculine
woman, the effeminate man, like bearded
women or a long-bearded man, IL a lusus
naturae, a monstrum horreRdum lnforme.
So, first, you are to keep and guard as a
sacred trust your w~omanhood, your fem
lnineness.
I'm the stress and strain, In the crush
and pressure Of our modern life, woman
has elbowed herself into certain kinds Of
work in which she resembles and rivals
man. How much humanity, how much
society has gained by II, IL employed
women are to make unemployed men, It Is
difficult, IL not impossible, to say. And
yet I believe things will right themselves
In time. But this deep line OF distinctive
difference remains unchanged.
II cannot count IL necessary and per-
haps it Is not wise for me to caution you
against the loudly shrieked call to give
women the right to vote and to be voted
for. l am disposed to think that the quiet
and decent appeal Of a rev of the So
called suffragists will be so drowned in the
sort of howling-dervish performance Of the
suffragettes that they will fail Of any Of
feet. At any rate the argument should be
addressed rather to legislators than to
you, except so far as one is justified In
saying here to you that your ~womanhood
will gain nothing by suffrage and is losing
every day in its dignity and its true influ-
ence by the hysterical clamor which Is
employed in the pursuit Of this chimera."

Peach Basket Hat Upaets Boat.

Peter Sneeringer of 1445 Westminster
avenue, New York, took Mrs. Peter Sheer
niger to Bronx park Sunday afternoon,
and together they strolled through tho
geological gardens to the long wharf OF
the Geological soeiety's boat house on the
Bronx river. Young sweethearts and hap
PLY married couples were out in the
stream in rowboats. canoes and launches,
and Mrs. Peter asked Mr.. Peter to take
her out in a canoe.
Mrs. Peters large peach basket hat sat
squarely on the young woman's head. but
she wanted It to assume a rakish yachting
angle. Just as Mr.. Sneeringer padded out
to a point where the water is eighteen feet
deep his wife got her hat on the side Of
her head. This caused the canoe to take
such a decided list to port that it over
turned and the two sneerlnEers went into
the water.
Everybody in a nearby boat reached
the scene first according to their stories,
and dragged the sneeringers into the
launch Albatross, guided by H. p. Mitchell.
After they had squeeEed most OF the water
out Of their clothes the sneeringers went
home with their right hands raised.
