preferable to such an involuntary
homecoming.
1t is possible that the Councilman
who originated the idea of hauling
DRINKS with tender care instead OF by
the usual hot-footing methods OF the
police would be impressed with the
sobriety station idea. 1t may be
that he would accept an amend
ment which provided for the SOLDERING
up of the booze victim at the municipal
expense. The SOLDERING process, in fact
would be absolutely prerequisite to tax
ing some of the DRINKS home. 1t must
be conceded that a good many of them
reach such a degree of oblivion after
frequent potations as to be virtually
dead to the world and utterly incapable
of knowing where they live or whether
they live at all. Others there are who
attain to such a state of mental Obfus-
cation as not to know their own dwell
ings and in cases of that kind there are
likely to be serious mistakes in deliv-
cry. The more one ponderS on these
matters the more is he impressed with
the value and the necessity of the So
briefly station"

Lore of the Clover.

Any one who carries about a four
leaved clover will be lucky and will
have the power of discovering ghosts
or evil spirits. With it under the pill
low the lover may insure dreams OF
the beloved one. A fragment in the
shoe of a traveller insures a safe jour
ney. OF the five leaved clover it is de-
clared that if it be worn Oh the left
side of maiden's dress or fastened
behind the hall door the Christian
name Of the first man who enters will
be the same as that of the future hus-
band. The power Of the four leaved
shamrock for good is familiar to all
from Lovers pretty and once popular
song, the speaker in which pictures
what she would do should she find the
magic plant:
l would play the enchanter's part and
scatter bliss around.
And not a tear or aching heart should in
the world be found.

The death of Chief Justice Fuller
loses to the country its most promin-
ent and possibly its ablest jurist. Next
TO Chief Justice Marshall he was prob
ably the greatest Justice that has been
known TO the supreme court bench OF
the United States. In point of length
of service he ranked next to Marshall,
who was chief justice for "a years,
and Chief Justice fancy, who held the
Office for % years, Justice Fuller hav-
ing been at the head of the court for
- years. He rendered opinions in
many famous cases that marked
epochs in the Jurisprudence of the coun-
try. He was a lifelong Democrat. His
successor, unless a long-established
precedent be broken, will be a Repub-
lican, of the party of the president.
There are now but two Democrats on
the supreme court bench. 1t is bare
ly possible, but not probable that
the president will follow an other
precedent by appointing members
of that party to fill the vacancies
now existing in the court, it being
the custom to have its members as
evenly divided politically as possible.

Wisconsin Democracy confronts a
crisis. Chapter Al, laws Of 1909, pre-
vents any party nominee from being
placed on the party ticket, unless
there shall have been cast twenty per
cent of the party vote in the election
district at the primary. The law
reads as follows: 81. If all candidat-
es for nomination for any one Office
voted for on any party ballot shall
receive in the aggregate twenty per
cent or more of the vote cast for nomi-
nee of such party for governor at the
last general election, the person re-
ceiving the greatest number of votes
at such primary election as the candi-
date Of such party for such Office, shall
be the candidate Of that party for such
Office, and his name as such candidate
shall be placed on the official ballot at
the following election.
, If all the candidates for nOnina-
ton for any one Office voted for on any
party ballot shall receive in the aggre-
gate less than twenty per cent OF such
vote so cast at such last general cleo
ton, no person shall be deemed to be
the party nominee for such Office, but
the person receiving the greatest num-
Der of votes at such primary as the
candidate Of such party for the Office
shall be deemed an Independent candi-
date for such office, and his name shall
be placed on the official ballot in the
column of individual nominations and
he shall be denomnated in such
column as independent ~.
A strong minority party is a nccessi-
ty for the good Of the state. This law
passed by the last legislature, by the
dominant party, now threatens to de
stroy such a party in Wisconsin. Good
citizenship, as well as party patriotism
demands the preservation OF such "A
party; and to secure such end, demands
that twenty per cent of the Democra-
tic vote be polled ut the primary.
Therefore, Democrats should make it a
point TO vote at the primary and vote

SIT is proposed to pass an ordinance
in the Chicago City Council requiring
all police officers TO take drunken men
to their homes instead Of to.thc station
houses. one Of the municipal Judges
has gone on record in favor of the
proposition and it has some earnest
advocates among the Aldermen and
Councilmen.
All Chicago, however, is not Of one
mind on the subject. The Record
Herald intimates that the movement
is one inspired by mushy sentiment
ality. One Alderman expresses the
opinion that the DRINKS should be
sobercd before being taken home and
suggests that they be given JOY ride
through the park. until they are past
the non compos mentis stage and able
to sit up and take notice. Another AL
derman is quoted rs saying:
'For the life Of me cannot figure
out why anyone should want to send a
drunken husband home TO his wife.
Seems to me, in order to keep down
divorces, the city ought TO provide
sobriety stations and get the men sob
er before taking them home"
1t is certain that goodly number Of
husbands would prefer not to be
taken home in an intoxicated condi-
ton and it is equally certain that a
good many families wouldnot want the
head Of the house brought home in a
state Of alcoholic coma It is not to
be expected that police officers would
exercise any large amount Of diplom-
acy or any nice discrimination in such
cases. The helpless drunk" would be
taken home, provided the patrolman
could find where he lived, regardless
OF the wishes Of the subject or Of his
family. All things considered the JOY
ride or the sobriety station would be

fully one hundred per cent in the past
ten years without any corresponding
benefit. It is stated by men who know
that the creation of what is known as
the state tax commission has been
instrumental of putting something like

of them drawing 5000 salaries ann

are altogether too many parasites
feeding on the taxpayers, who are
already bearing as heavy burdens as it
is possible for them to stand up uuder

want; but they want and demand re-

Bartholomew Sastrow. who lived In
the time of the Emperor Charles ".
gives us a good idea Of the gastronom-
ic customs of those times. Sastrow's
description of the table habits Of the
greatest ruler in his day is very inter
esting.
Young princes and counts served the
repast. There were invariably four
courses of six dishes. The emperor
had no one to carve for him. He be-
gan by cutting his bread in pieces
large enough for one mouthful. then
attacked his plate. He often used his
fingers while he held the plate under
his chin with the other hand.
When he felt thirsty he made sign
to the doctor standing by the table;
then they went to the sideboard for
two silver tlagons and filed a goblet
which held about measure and q
half. The emperor drained it to the
last drop, practically at one draft.
During the meal he never uttered q
syllable. scarcely smiled at the most
amusing sallies Of the testers behind
his chair finally picked his teeth with
quilts and, after washing his hands,
retired to window recess, where any
body could approach him with a petit
ton.

After settling him In chair Grasso
threw himself on his knees and began
long entreaty for forgiveness. This
was rapidly granted by the much en-
barrassed paygoer. who on his side
begged to be allowed to return to his

But this was not to be until Grasso,
weeping copiously. had bestowed no
fewer than fifty resounding kisses on
the mans blushing cheeks.
The action was greeted with loud
cheers. and after Grasso had grace

SALT WATER.
Deep Seas Are More Saline Than Those

That Are Shallow.
The density of sea water depends
upon the quantity of saline matter 1t
contains. The proportion is generally
about 3 or per cent. though it varies
in different places. The ocean con-
tains more salt in the southern than
in the northern hemisphere, and the
Atlantic contains more than the Pa
cifc. The greatest proportion of salt
in the Pacific is in the parallels of %
degrees north latitude and II degrees
south latitude. Near the equator it is
less, and in the polar seas it is least.

The sadness varies with the seasons
in these regions, and the fresh water,

makes the surface of the sea fresher
than the interior parts, and the influx
Of rivers renders the ocean less salt
at their estuaries.
Deep seas are more saline than those
that are shallow, and inland seas COM

Sometimes the greed for gold over
reaches itself The protective policy
for the interests may occasionally be
so strongly worked that its result is
the reverse of that intended. Such an
instance is that of the decline in the
price Of wool, Notwithstanding a tariff
averaging 30 per cent on the raw ma
terial and 100 per cent on wooden
clothing. Why this is thus is pulling
the gathorers. The excessive price of
wooden fabrics has compelled the
people to lessen their use and the high
price Of the raw material has driven
manufacturers TO the cheapest sub
stitutes. SO the demand for the finish
ed and unfinished product decreased
and consequently the price has fallen,

mand has operated, Notwithstanding
