G. t., attended the annual meeting
held here. At the opening session
Grand Chief J. NJ. Skinner submitted
his annual report, and committees for
the various branches of the temper
ance work were appointed.
In submitting his report, Mr.. Skin
ner said: mo other society in the
field today is so well fitted to carry
forward the work of the temperance
reformation as the Good Templar or
der. 1t is peculiarly adapted for the
work in many ways. Our lifelong
pledge of total abstinence forms the
only basis to start from in order to
obtain the total prohibition of the
manufacture, Importation or sale or
intoxicants. The weekly meeting af-
fords an exceptional means of win
ming recruits and of teaching our
principles"

Exorbitant Rates,

A Baltimore girl has petitioned the
courts to give her $4,000 damages be-
cause man asked her for kiss.
We shudder to think of the conse-
quences If the man had asked for a
card of kisses, assorted sizes.
The fact is, no man-not even a j.
P. Morgan-can keep on indulging in
expensive language of this sort with
out impairing his financial credit.
We don't know anything about the
schedule of osculatory rates that pre-
walls in Baltimore, but If request for
a kiss costs $4,000, and mans entire
estate is confiscated and his life for
feited If he takes a kiss without ask
ing, what will it cost comparative
stranger merely to look as If he want
ed a kiss ?-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

WOULD DEsTOY ITS BEAUTY
Restrain Brick Company From Blast
ing, Pending Condemnation
Proceedings Already
Begun.

Madison. action was begun
before Judge E. Ray Stevens, on be-
half of the state, for the issuance
of a temporary order restraining the
American Refractories company, an
Illinois corporation, from blasting
and otherwise disfguring and de-
stroying the natural conditions and
landscape on a certain eighty acres
of land at Devils lake, owned by
that corporation, until suit in con-
demnation by the state park board,
begun in the circuit court for Sank
county, may be determined.
The land in question is wanted by
the state park board for park pur-
poses, to complete it's plans at Devils
lake, but the corporation demands an
excessive price, claiming that the
rock there contains peculiar ele-
ment valuable in the operation of its
business, that of making glazed
brick. To secure the property the
park board finds itself confronted
with the necessity of condemnation
and in order that the work of dis
fgurement of the landscape may not
be continued, pending the suit, this
action for a restraining order is
started.
III. l.. Butler of Madison will ap-
pear for the corporation, and Dep
uty Attorney General Russell Jack
son for the state. The constitution

oNlY DOUBLE RIGS IN WORLD
wu Have Capacity of 1000 Tons
an Hour When Ready for Ope-
ration-No Clew to Dyna-
miters.

cnnerior. Authorities are still
,oorching for clues to the perpetra-
tors Of the dynamiting at the new
philadelphia and Reading docks in
tbis civ Tuesday night, but SO far
have been unsuccessful in securing
enough evidence to warrant the ar
rost Of anyone in this connection.
The dock, which was still in the
course of construction when the dy-
uamiting occurred, is to be one Of
The best equipped coal handling
ATLANTIS in the world and has been
enrftted with the only double unload
;no rigs in existence, one OF which
was seriously damaged by the explo-
sion.
The dynamiters were apparently
familiar with the construction OF the
RIG as they selected the most vulner-
able spot in their attempt to wreck
if The two legs at the south end of
fhp bridge had not yet been fastened
together with the big steel girder in
tended for that purpose, While this
had been done at the center sup
norris and at the north end, and the
chances of success at those points
would consequently not be as great as
at the south end where the attempt
was made.
The big rig is 400 feet in length,
being built in two spans of 23O feet
each. The material in the structure
weighs $50 tons. The rig will have
an unloading capacity of 1000 tons
an hour when completed. 1t is to be
operated by electric power.
The work of repairing the damage
caused by the explosion was started
Immediately upon the arrival of the
crews at the dock the next morning,
and it is thought that the completion
of the dock will not be greatly de-
layed The rig has now been secured
in such a manner that there is no
danger of it's falling over.
Besides the rig which was dyna-
united. the Hyle-Patterson company
is constructing a similar rig on the
dock No attempt was made to in
jure that one, however, or the big an
thracite storage shed.

The Thatched Windmill.

usual types represented in many forms
of garden utility. In suburban Phila-
delphia this thought is frequently
made distinctive in the building of
garden retreats, tearooms, pergolas
and various sorts of garden archi-
lecture. But there seems to be q
special fad at present for displaying
unique features in the construction Of
windmills.
The old world form of supplying wa
ter for household convenience still
forms picturesque feature in many
suburban sections. But it was only re-
Gently that the matched windmills
were introduced, one of the finest
types having been constructed on the
Herring estate in Arlington. Other
millionaire country seats of this Sec
ton and also those of Jenkintown and
Wyncote, have of late shown some
rather startling and decidedly pleasing
Ideas in windmill construction; but it
has remained for the Herring country
seat to set forth the unique in pic
turesque windmill construction.
! Not only is the roof of the famous
Herring windmill matched in regula-
ton type, but, fashioned after the
most quaint of old world types, the en-
tire mill, which is divided into sew
eral spacious rooms in it's three-story
structure, Is neatly and compactly
matched on all sides.
When Walter Herring conceived the
idea of introducing this unusual type
of windmill on his beautiful Abingdon
estate he little thought Of the difficult
| ties in his way. 1t is not surprising
| that it stands alone in it's picturesque
| beauty, for few would have the pa
| thence to oversee its tedious construc-
tion Finally, at great expense, after
other plans had failed, a genuine old
| Scotchman was imported especially
for this work The expense of getting
him to the Arlington country seat. and
of boarding him, and humoring him
throughout all the tedious process OF
the work, Is now amply repaid in the
possession of the only particularly
beautiful matching of this type to
be found In this country. 4.., sse@F

NO GENERAL RAIN IN JULY
Wisconsin Report Shows That Pota-
toes Have Suffered Greatly;
Also Tobacco.

Madison-The Wisconsin farm
crop report, dated Aug. 1, reports
that there was no general rain during,
July There have been slight show
ers in most parts of the state that
have saved growing crops from COM
plete destruction. Pastures have suf-
fered most, and are now furnishing
little feed for stock, this shortage be-
ing supplied by feeding of hay and
grain feeds.
Enough threshing of grain has
been done to show that the yield of
wheat, rye and barley will not fall
far below the normal yield. Oats,
though materially injured upon sandy
or very dry land, will furnish a bet
ter yield than was anticipated at last
report
Corn planted upon good fertile
fields, and we'll cultivated, has shown
remarkable degree of vitality, and
with a general rain now, would make
a fair crop.
Early potatoes are small, and the
yield is light. Later potatoes are al
ready suffering from want of rain,
and the crop will be materially short
ened even if rain comes soon.
Early planted tobacco is blossom
ing without desirable growth of
leaf, while late planted is still small
and not promising.
Sugar beets are doing fairly we'll,
though making slow growth.
The following percentages of con-
dltion of crops is reported by cor
respondents:

REASON FOR THEIR MARRIAGE
She Married to Spite Another Girl
and He Because Same Girl
Had Tilted Him.

They had been married fully three
months, and were having their thir-
teenth daily quarrel-thirteen being an
unlucky number
You only married me for my mon
ey," he said.
Il didn't do anything of the kind,
she retorted.
We'll, you didn't marry me because
you loved me-
II know didn't"
I'm heavens name, madam, what
did you marry me for?"
Just to make that hateful girl you
were engaged to cry her eyes out be-
cause she had to give you up to an
other"
He fell down on the white bearskin
rug at her feet and rolled over in it
until he looked like a huge SNOWFALL.
Great goodness! woman" he splut-
tered, as he tried to get the hair out
of his mouth, what have you done!
Why, married you just because that
girl threw me over.'
And by the time dinner was ready
their sweet young hearts were once
more so full of sunshine that awnings
| were quite unnecessary.

USES vARNfsH FOR PUDDING
"Handy" Man Daubs Front Door With
Slrup and Wife Puts Glossy
Fluid In Pastry.

Mr. Brewster thought his front door
looked as though a coat Of varntsh
would do it no harm, and resolved to
do it himself, to save the expense OF
a painter.
Finding an old golden strip" tin in
the yard, he went off to the shop for
some .'best oak varnish." He placed
1t in the pantry for the night, and was
up early next morning, and by half,
past twelve had got the door finished.
II don't like it, now it's DONE" he
said to his wife.
TITS bad varnish," replied she. Hes
sold you the wrong sort of stuff.
He thought so, too, and went back
to the shop, taking what was left with
him.
This is funny varnish you sold
me-" said he. tits dull. sticky stuff. .
After examining it, the shopman
said: This is not what sold you
This is sirup."
1t then dawned on him that he had
got hold of the wrong tin, and he went
back home to explain to his wife. who
at once said: Good gracious, James!
And I've made the pudding with the
other tinful!" Then, after moments
pause, You'll dine today on roast
mutton and varnish pudding!"
