Rstter Late Than Not at All.

The pastor Of the little country church
had been much annoyed by having the
members Of his congregation struggle
in long after the service had begun.
One Sunday morning, when he felt that
further forbearance with this fault was
impossible, he decided to rebuke some
conspicuous offender. About twenty
minutes later than the proper hour
there entered a mild hammered little
woman, one Of the regular attendants
Of the church, but quite incorrigible IN
her hardness. The minister looked up,
fixed her with his spectacles and re-
marked:
"sister, you are very much behind
time. hope you Will not be so late In
getting into heaven"
The little woman looked up, smiled
sweetly and without trace OF confu'
sion replied placidly:
ST shan't care about that, doctor. so
long as I get there"
And now the pastor feels that the
smile that went round the church some
how spoiled rho effechv eness OF his
reprimand.-New Ycrk Tribune.

"Why so much weeping and wiring

At this distance nobody could scent an
onion In her pocket handkerchief.
Rachel resorted to that trick IN

flowed freely without facial contor-

the stage she gave the onion she held
to Prince Napoleon to eat In salad and
that he did so."-Psris Letter to Lon

Chinese and tho Morse Code.

Difficulties Of the Chinese language
were ably demonstrated when the
problem arose Of adapting 1t to tele.
graphy. How was 1t possible to apply
the Morse alphabet to language
which has no alphabet at all. but con-
sists Of nearly $4,000 characters!
Then It was impossible to treat CHI
nese Theoretically, writing down the
sound Of the Chinese words in Euro
pean letters and translating them into
Morse dots and dashes, because no
such system could deal with the Chi
nese niceties Of intonation. The in.
genious solution came from a Danish
professor. BE simply codifed the
1000 commonest Chinese characters
representing each by numerals. Thus
the Chinese word for leash" became
eO30 in the code, and the operator had
only to send the code signal for that.

WOULD PREVENTFIRES,
Warden System Faulty and Recon-
mends Forest Patrol.

MADISON, Wis, May IL Special
-"The whole fire warden system of Wis
consin is faulty from the fact that it
is based upon the fighting or putting
out of fires after they occur, rather than
preventing the starting of fires in the
FIRST instance, and there is no truer ap-
plication of the principle that an ounce
of prevention is worth a pound Of cure
than that dealing with the whole forest
fire problem" said e. W. Griffith, state
forester for Wisconsin, speaking today
on the effects of fires now raging III the
northern forests
'HThe worst fires have been in Doug
las, Bayfield,, Lincoln and Langlade
countless he continued. These have
been caused largely by carelessness of
the settlers in burning to clear lands for
agriculture, the fires having gotten the
better of them. The railroads, partlcu-
Iarly between Ashland and Superior,
have been setting a great many fires.
1.-The special committee of the Legis-
lature on water powers, forestry and
drainage now has the question of forest
fires and their prevention under consid-
Grafton | have asked the committee
to recommend q law which will permit
the state board Of forestry to organize
system of forest fire patrols, such as
are in very successful operation in many
of the western states, to prevent the
starting of forest fires.
THE law should also provide that
from April to November in each year no
fires shall be set in the forested northern
counties without written permit from
fire warden or forest fire patrol.

"A FUNERAL EFFECT"
Prophetic Remark Made by King Ed
ward at His Last Private
Dinner.

LONDON, May 17.-Further details
are now current respecting the last pri-
vate dinner attended by King Edwasd
on the Monday before his death. Miss
Agnes Keyser was the hostess. It was
arranged as welcome home for the
King to meet Lady Arthur Paget Both
Mrs. Keppel and Lady PageU wore I'M
relieved black Mrs Keppei wore a
high black aigrette in her hair, the only
relief to her dress being some fine silver
e-ging on the bodice and sleeves. Lady
Paget wore her pearls, with a jet
trimmed dress.
The first remark the King made when
he sat down at the table was: ''Why,
we have quite funeral effect" Every
one laughed, including the King, and
it brought on terrible fit of coughing,
which was the first note of alarm atwhat
proved to be a sad dinner.
Before leaving, the King spoke to
Lady Paget about Mr.. Roosevelt's visit
and asked what she was doing for him
and said he looked forward to meeting
him.
After the King left, Miss Keyser and
her guests sat talking about him. They
were all greatly shocked by the change
in his appearance and his blue cheeks
and lips. Mrs. Keppel told them how
he was so seriously ill at Biarritz that a
telegram was written summoning the
Prince of Wales. but that the King got
better and it was torn up. He was con
stantly regretting the death of Consue.

said he could never go to Biarritz again

Comment

MARINEITE. Wis, May 17.1[Spe-
cial. 1.-The Marinette Chamber of Com
merce takes exception to the remarks
of State Forester e. M Griffith in his
lecture to the Outdoor Art association
at Milwaukee Saturday. The organiza-
ton has issued the following statement.
State Forester Griffith in lecture to the
Outdoor Art association Saturday is re-
ported to have declared that all pine lands
were worthless for farming purposes and
that farmers were being duped by com
panieS placing the settlers upon the same
Any sane man who has visited the north
ern half OF Wisconsin, which was at one
time almost entirely covered by immense
pine forests will wonder, whether Mr.. Crit
fifth knows anything about the state which
is employing him as a forester. We who
live in northern Wisconsin do not believe
that he does Has Mr. Griffith ever visited
northern Wisconsin? We doubt it. If he
has he either visited it at night or made
the trip by water.
Does Mr.. Griffith know that the apples
from northern Wisconsin and Michigan
(raised on cut-oVer pine lands) took first
prizes at the st. Louis exposition and the
Wisconsin and Michigan state fairs? Does
he know that the leading cherry growing
section of the state is located in these cut
over pine lands? Does he know that whole
salers are making such demand for pre-
served vegetables grown on these cut-oVer
lands that they cannot be filled? Does he
know that seed potatoes are being grown
on these lands that are bringing record
prices in all markets. Does he know that
a herd of prize hogs raised on this pine land
carried away all the honors at the state
fair for two successive years?
Is Mr. Griffith working in the interests OF
the state of Wisconsin who employs him,
or is his sole ambition to secure land to
plant trees upon. Does he appreciate that
these pine lands are now supporting several
hundred thousand people in northern Wis
consin and are helping to give the state its
position the leading dairying state of the
country?
The Chamber of Commerce would like to
have Mr.. Griffith visit Marinette county 1t
wants him to come with his eyes open and
ready to be convinced for there is no doubt
but that he can be convinced if he is ready
to accept sef-evident proof. We would like
to have him. come to the county as, a man
aud not as an official whose sole desire
seems to be to plant trees, whether it be on
land fitted for trees or for other things.
Marinette county people believe that the
statement of Forester Griffith was a DELHI
crate knock meant to injure and stop the
development of this portion of the state anu
they will continue to believe it until lie
proves otherwise.

is MURDERED.
WOMAN ADMITS SHOOTING HIM
Doctors Find Bullets Victim Weltering
in Pool of Blood-Daughter
Won't Talk.

CHIPPEWA FALLS, Wis, May 16
Especial Alsworth J. Sunderland
was murdered shortly before midnight
Saturday in his home and his wife is
accused of the crime.
Sunderland is a Iaborer and after
receiving his months wages he visited
numerous stores, paid his bills and re
turned home with friend about 10
o'clock. His wife arrived shortly after
ward. Upon her arrival at the house
she and her husband began quarreling
about their children.
The friend who had accompanied Suth,
erland home left during this quarrel and
was the last to see the man and woman
together After the shooting Mrs. Sund-
erland went to a clothing store SIX BLOCKS
away and telephoned for doctor.
Sunderland was found by two doctors
in n heap on the floor, his head in a pool
of blood and a bullet hole in his right
breast. He was dead when found and
the oldest of his four children, girl OF
ten. was seated in a char nearby cry
ing. This girl would not say anything
about the affair, but a boy Of seven SAID
that his mother committed the crime.
Indications are that Sutherland started
to go to bed, was met by his wife When
half way up the stairs and was shot.
Bloody footprints show that he staggered
back down the stairs and tried to cross
the room to a couch but fell before
reaching it.
On dressing table in a bedroom up,
stairs was found a revolver with one
shell discharged. Doctors claim that the
way the bullet entered the man makes
the suicide theory out of the question.
Mrs. Sunderland disappeared imme,,
diately after the shooting but was found
this morning about a mile and halt
north of the city, after she had been
wandering in the woods since Sunday
morning at l O'Clock.
The woman has not made any state
ment to the officers, but she has told her
sister that she and her husband got into
a quarrel and after giving her black
eye, he slapped her in the face. She
started to retire upstairs and he was go
ing to retire downstairs. He started aft
er her up the stairs to whip her again
Then she shot him.
The coroner's jury met this morning
and after listening to the doctors testl-
mony, adjourned until late this after
noon.

they used to do was illustrated when a
scorching automobile struck Weston, in
juring his ankle. Automobiles, bicycles
and trolley cars have decreased the ne

have new means of making it unpleasant
and unsafe. But armies still walk as
did Hannibafs and Alexander's. Poets,
