Cream of Talent.

''Stallings has gathered in the cream OF
the pitching talent and he's got nearly a
dozen crackerjacks. The old men. Man
ming. Brockett, Quinn, WarhOp, Doyle,
and Hughes. were all tried successfully
last year. and the experience they gained
will greatly increase their effectiveness.
THE newcomers. Vaughn, Fisher Frill,
Ford. Carroll. and Wolter are all high
class slabmen. I think they will make
the other bunch hustle before the spring
trip Is over.
Vaughn is a giant, a left-hander, and
a sure find, while Fisher looked so good
TO me last fall when We tried him out
privately on the hill that 1 am ready TO
bank on a successful future for him.
"Warhop will be star as sure as you
live. and Quinn is another big factor,
don't forget. StallIngs has the right
kind of pitching material this year, and
the Highlanders will not be weak IN this
department at any time" Just then Presi-

opened for traffic some time early in
November, but full month before
that artisans will be employed put

which expensive buildings are made
conspicuous.
There will be three main tracks
and three sub-tracks running into
this building and these will be COW
cred the full length of the platforms
the building will be set Off with a
gigantic marquis of structural steel,
forty-fve feet long and extending out
as far as the curbing. Above this will
be placed a clock three and one-Flalf
feet across the dial.
When the building is finished, the
exterior will present an imposing
structure of Bedford stone, adorned
by it's long marquis and clock and
hemmed in by it's six tracks and UNI
brella sheds. The inside, however,
will show the real pains of the de-
signers and builders.
There will be corridor and an
immense general waiting room. The
dimensions of the latter will be IS
| by SO feet and the ceiling, 30 feet
above the floor, will be decorated with
4 heavy has relief scroll work cast in

corridor will be wainscOted with

to give the passengers time to take

One of the Best Rest Cures.

To many women 1t is as good as
trip away from home.
When you are tired out and your
nerves are on edge, try going off by
yourself and losing yourself in some
good story. You will, in nine cases
out of ten, come back rested and in<
vigorated.
One woman who has passed serene'
ly through many years of hard work
and worry that go with the managing
of house and bringing up Of large
family of children, said that she con'
sidered it the duty of every busy
housekeeper to read a certain amount
of trash" light fiction, for the rest
and change to the mind that 1t would
give.
Try 1t, you who lead a strenuous
life, and who sometimes grow exceed

THE FIRST TASTE
Learned to Drink Coffee When Baby.

would doubtless hesitate before giving
the babies coffee to drink.
when I was child in my moth

give me sips of coffee. AS my parents
used coffee exclusively at meals
never knew there was anything to
drink but coffee and water.
And so I contracted the coffee
habit early. / remember when quite
young the continual use of coffee so
affected my parents that they tried
roasting wheat and barley, then
ground 1t in the coffee-mill, as SUBJ
stitute for coffee.
"But 1t did not taste right and they
went back to coffee again. That was

PROPOSED AT ELECTION
tn S MONTH.
ooOBL PAY OF LEGISLATORS
,.., Anoortionment Method and Pro-
.;sion for internal improvements
nv Stale to Be Considered
by Citizens.

vodison.-Three proposals to
noDd the constitution Of Wisconsin
iii he submitted to the voters of the
.tste on the ballot at the November
election.
They are as follows:
M 1-ReIating to pay of mem
hare Of the legislature.
M 2-Relating to apportionment.
No 3-Relating to internal i'm
movements.
amendment No. 1 provides for the
.mondment Of section 21 of article 4,
.aisinq the pay of members of the
,orieI9ture from $500 to $1,000 per
mum The original constitutional
arovision was for the payment Of
HAMMERS of the legislature, senators
and assemblymen, at the rate of
q 80 per day for each days attend
'nca durjng the season and ten cents
nor mile for every mile he shall travel
in going to and returning from the
oIace Of meeting.
That was the provision until 1881
rhen the constitution was amended
rv making the sessions of the legis-
lafura biennial instead of annual and
fixing the compensation of members
at $500 for the biennial term with
the original provision for mileage.
From that time the compensation of
members has remained as so fixed.
The purpose of amendment No. 2
is really to provide way to abandon
the state census and accept the decen-
NAL census Of the national govern
ment as the basis of apportionment
ef members of the legislature. The
nroposal now submitted will require
an appOrtiOnment only once in ten
Years. The amendment submitted on
the ballot is as follows:
Section 8. At their first session
after each enumeration made by the
authority of the United States, the
legislature shall apportion and dis
trict anew the members of the senate
and assembly, according to the gum
Der of inhabitants, excluding Indians
not taxed, soldiers and officers CT the
United States army and navy.
The third proposition to be sub
mitted is for the purpose of permit
ting the legislature to appropriate
money for certain specified internal
improvements now forbidden by the
fundamental law.
The constitution now provides that
The state shall never contract any
debt for works of internal improve
ment or be a party in carrying on
such works. The legislature, having
in mind the conservation of natural
resources, proposed an amendment
which will do away with this obstacle
as it relates at least to the1class OF
internal improvements or betterment,
provided that the state may ap-
pr0priate moneys for the purpose OF
acquiring, preserving and developing
the water power and the forests OF
the state; but there shall not be ap-
prop'iated under the authority OF
this section in any one year an
amount to exceed tWo-tenths of one
mill Of the taxable property Of the
state as determined by the last pre-
ceding state assessment.
These amendments all are sub
Witted on the big ballot for the No
vember election and must be voted
for separately by yes or mo" in
squares printed on the ballot for that
purpose.
