An Easy Eft.

A number of years ago there lived
In northern New Hampshire notori-
GUS woman-hater. It was before the
day of ready-made clothing and want
Ing new suit, he was obliged to take
the material to the village tailoress.
She took his measurements, and when
she cut the coat, made liberal al
lowance on each seam.
The mans dislike of women In gen.
eral prevented his having fitting.
He took the finished garment without
trying 1t on. 1t was much too large,
and his disgust was apparent In the
answer he made to the friendly 1oafer
on his first visit to the post Office,
when he wore the despised article.

loafer

seven yards of cloth wrapped round

No Corsets at West Point

Col. K. B. Collins, retired army officer who
was seen at the Raleigh, in discussing West
Pointers said to a reporter of the Washington
Herald: Il have often heard a question as
to whether West Pointers wore corsets It is
absurd, In way, because should any effem-
mate youngster resort to such thing it
would be an impossibility to keep the affair
secret, and, once known. his school life would
become burden to him on account of the
endless amount of criticism he would receive
from his fellows. He would be made the
laughing stock Of the school and would soon
find himself the possessor of any number of
efeminate nicknames that would crate upon
his ears In any but pleasant manner
1T is true" continued the old soldier, that
many West Pointers acquire a figure the per-
lection of symmetry and carriage the acme
of manly grace but these are due not to any
ingenious appliance, but to the systematic
drills and exercises that make every cadet, to
certain extent an athlete. At the outset
these young fellows are put through what are
called the setting up exercises, their object
being to straighten the body and develop the
chest One might suppose that it would re-
quire great amount of such exercise to make
any marked showing, but three long hours
of such exercise daily will soon produce bene-
fetal results in the most stopped forms.
The cadet uniform is also a great help in
this direction. The dress coat is tight, very
tight. The shoulders are heavily padded in
order to give them square effect. The chest
is made thick so that there will be no dam
ger of wrinkling. And in size, new dress
coat seems always to be designed for a boy
several sizes smaller than the one who is to
wear It, A new dress coat. in fact, is always
a source of suffering to its owner. When he
first puts it on, it buttons readily about the
neck, but seems to lack about six inches at
the waist. The owner may squirm and wrig-
gle and attempt to reduce his waist to mini.
mum circumference, but his maiden efforts are
never sufficient to button the new dress coat
Experience is great teacher, though, and the
young fellow laughingly requests one or two
friends to lend their assistance, and with their
combined Juggling and squeezing he finally sue
ceeds in buttoning the coat. All this for the
sake of looks; comfort has no place in the
makeup of a West Pointer; it is discipline and
looks"

which they wasted both their patience

The Home of the Cod.

There is just one other great cod
bank in the world besides those off
Newfoundland. It lies off Cape Agul-
has, which is the southern tip Of At
RIGA, and south of the Cape of Good
Hope. The Agulhas plateau Is said to
be almost a duplicate in size and rich
ness Of the north cod banks. But this
is too far off, so there is little promise
Of its appeasing the hungry appetite

Theodore Roosevelt, former president
of the United States and the most dis

utes on Thursday morning and while it
is probable that he will not leave his
car at this point it is just as probable
that quite crowd Of Roosevelt en-
thusiasts will be at the station to
watch the train go through. Roose-
welt is in Milwaukee this afternoon and
tonight he will speak at the Hippodrome
IN that city. A score of Kenosha people
have secured seats for the meeting and
Kenosha will be well represented in the
ovation given the former president at
the Milwaukee Metropolis. The Roose-
velt special car will be placed on the
newspaper train which goes out of Mil

a. m. Thursday and the train reaches
Kenoshal just before five o'clock. The
former president will be enroute to
Chicago and he plans to make no stops
between the two cities.

One of the features of the primary
and this was especially noticed by the
Democrats was the failure Of the for
eign vote. Little of this vote was cast
in the north wards of the city and
the only ward that showed any large
foreign vote was the fifth. In this
ward there was the usual scramble for
the votes of the aliens and the large
Democratic vote in-the ward shows that
it went largely to Democracy.
The Democratic vote in the county
was far below that cast by the Re
publicans and it is declared that this
is not. an indication Of the real condi-
tions on account Of the fact that the
Republican vote was decidedly heavy
while the Democratic vote was as large
as is usually cast in the primary cleo
tions.
The result of the vote on Democratic
state, legislative and county candidates
is as follows:

For Sheriff.

Andrew F. Stahl, descendant of an
old Democratic family in Kenosha coun-
ty and one of the best known represen-
tatives of the party IN the city won
the Democratic nomination for sheriff
in Kenosha county at the primaries on
Tuesday defeating George B. McCar-
ron, George Kreuscher, Andrew Ander-
son and John A. Thorn, the candidates
finishing in the order named. 1t was
a runaway race for Stahl and he had
clear plurality over McCarron of near
ly 200 while he defeated Kreuscher
who had been picked as the favorite in
the race by majority of nearly 300.
Stahl and McCarron largely divided the
vote in the city and Stahl and Kreu-
scher divided the vote in the county
but in both cases the vote was in favor
of Stahl. Stahl ran well in the city.
Democracy gave all of its enthusiasm
to the race for the nomination of the
candidate for sheriff but at that all

for sheriff was much larger than that

of the educational department OF the
state fair, will begin the installation OF

The interest shown in this department
by educators throughout the state and
in Milwaukee city and county has al

addition will have to be provided if
the educational features of the fair are
to be expanded with the other depart

The regular educational building will

The rural school building which is
considered a model for one depart
ment school, has been, more fully and
completely supplied with the essential
for the conducting of country school.
"Judging from reports received
there will be by far a larger number
of competitors this year than ever be-
fore,' said Mr.. Hazelwood yesterday.
"The board allows nearly 800 for the
premiums in the department which are
awarded to school children in prem
iums running from 81 up to $40. The

be exceptionally good"
Members of the board and superinten-
