Male Fashions In 1850.

Male fashions of 60 years ago had
other discomforts besides long hair
Trousers were tight and buttoned I'M
der the foot with broad straps. Every
man who aspired to be well dressed
wore his coat so high in the collar
that the back OF the hat rested on it.
The fashion was so prevalent that, &C
cording to Sir Algernon West, every
hat had crescent of cloth on the
back Of the brim to prevent the rub
bling Of the beaver, or imitation beav
err Of which the hat was made, for silk
hats were not then invented" And
from the same authority we learn
that opera hats were unknown, and
In the evening folding chapeau bras
was always carried under the arm
Nobody but an apothecary or solici
tor would have dreamed Of leaving his
hat in the hall of the house where he
was calling for dinner"

REST AT GlSH0LT HOME
Advantages of Old Folks Retreat at
Madison Not Fully Appreci-
ated by People.

Madison.-Six persons soon will
be enjoying the comforts of the Gis-
holt home for old folks--the late
John A. Johnson's benefaction six
miles east of Madison, and they have
comforts and Conveniences such as
none of them perhaps ever had be-
fore-a new fireproof habitation,
glorious farm over which to ramble,
a wondrous view of Madison and it's
lakes, no restraint, and a kindly rela-
tionship with those in charge.
All these advantages are open to
any elderly individual who deposits
81 900 at the home, the proceeds of
which help to defray expenses.
The home has accommodations for
about twenty persons, and inquiries
are being received from various parts
of the state. 1t is incredible that its
superior privileges can exist long
without all its accommodations be-
ing taken, and an anxious waiting
list be formed. 1t is available alike
to women and men.

TROOPS SHOOT DOWN rs
Liberals Attempt to Hold Public
Meeting and Succeed Despite
Efforts Of Police.

San Juan del Sur.-More than sew
enty-tive persons were killed or
wounded in street battle between the
government troops and the Liberals at
Leon.
The Liberals, disregarding the gov
ernment's orders prohibiting their hold
ing public meetings on the streets,

began delivering speeches against the
government. The police attempted to
dispense the crowd, but were quickly
overcome The troops were then called

WAR ONLY STARTED
COLONEL BREAKS SILENCE
THAT SURROUNDED HIM
SINCE ELECTION.
PROGRESSIvES SURE TO WIN
Colonel Stands Pat on Osawatome
Speech, and Declares His Cause
Will Triumph Regardless Of Lead
ers' Fortunes.

New York..-Theodore Roosevelt has
broken the silence into which he
plunged himself after the Democratic
landslide. In the current issue of the
Outlook, the colonel, in less than 100
words, remarks that the fight in which
he engaged in the last election is not
to be dropped. Says the colonel, I'M
der the caption, "Mr. Roosevelts po-
sition":
ION every hand, personally and by
correspondence, have been asked to
make a statement regarding the cleo
ton. SO far as l am concerned, l have
nothing whatever to add to or to take
away from the declaration Of prin-
ciples which l have made in the Osa-
watomie speech and elsewhere, east
and west, during the past three
months.
1.-THE fight for progressive popular
government has merely begun and will
certainly go on to triumphant con-
clusion in spite of initial checks and
irrespective of the personal success or
failure of individual leaders"
Close acquaintance of Col Roose-
welt, to whom he has talked, say the
eX-president takes the stand that the
Democratic victory throughout the
country was due primarily to the fail
ure of the administration to keep the
promises it made with respect to the
tariff
Broadly Defined" says the Outlook,
In editorial comment upon the election,
1.-The general cause was simply diSsat-
isfaction with the Republican party.
This was in part because Of faults
actually committed or thought to have
been committed, and in part from the
vague restless dissa tisfaction which
every party in power encounters mid
way between two presidential elections.
The cutlery against the increased cost
of living is universal; it touches a
matter close to the heart. But, spe-
officially, the high tariff is believed to
cost of living"
Col. Roosevelt takes the attitude that
the Democrats benefited by the STIR
ring of popular feeling for progressive
legislation, as was evidenced, accord
ing to the eX-presidents organ, by the
election of Woodrow Wilson as gov
ernor of New Jersey. Wilson, the col
onel considers to be equally as much
of a progressive as Robert Bass, elect
ed governor of New Hampshire.
Respecting the result in New York
state, Col. Roosevelt feels that the eff
feet is to put Tammany Hall in con-
troll of Albany.

between THE TWO STRAWS
Small Boy Who Should Have Acted
as a Cider Relay Station-Ob-
tains His Own Supply.

"As a boy near Cape Cod I lived
near an old cider MILL" says writer
in the Metropolitan. 1.-THE hard old
Yankee who owned this mill told the
boys that If we would pick three bar
rels Of Seeding apples he would give
us all the cider we could suck through
a straw.
Il have had ambitions in my day,
but l do not recall any more hopeful
than that 40-year-old one Of putting a
rye straw as middleman between my
mouth and a cider tank, though l
would not today permit cider on my
farm
I'VE picked the apples and deliv-
cred them, but the old Yankee drove
us out of the mill and told us we must
suck from the outside. We found a
knothole in a board near the tank,
and down in Uncle Daniels grain field
was rye straw Of great length.
I'VE ran this through the knot hole,
look long breath-and out came the
Did Yankee and caught us at it. He
look three old rails and some boards
and built a fence around that knot
hole.
II do not know SO much about the
modern boy, but down Cape Cod way
40 years ago we had to do things. The
smallest boy crawled like wood
chuck inside that fence. He ran our
long straw through the knot hole I'M
til the end dipped in the cider tank
and he put the other end in one side
Of his mouth.
Then he put another straw In the
other side of his mouth and ran that
out between the fence boards. 1t was
a case of pull on the straw connected
with the cider and push through the
other with the rest of us on the out
side struggling for a place at the
straw.
There was my first experience with
a middleman, and have lived to know
that they are all alike. That boys
first ambition was to obtain this own
supply of cider. He then lost interest
In the job and forgot to send any
along"

Institution With That OBJ
iect in View.

Superior.-It is now practically
certain that the legislature will be
asked to appropriate money for an
other addition To the Superior Nor

Racine. is to be filed
with the state rate commission
against the Racine Water company,
it is said, by two manufacturing con-
Germs of this city, it being alleged that
the rates charged for water and for
meter service are excessive.
Following these complaints may
come complaints from owners of resi-
dences, charging that the rates for
water service in homes are excessive,
and that the company refuses to al
low more than one meter in apart
ment buildings, causing tenants to
divide the amount of the bill, instead
of each paying for the water he ac-
tually consumes.
The Badger Foundry company and
the Harvey Spring company retained
attorneys to draw up the complaints.

board of education, a member of that
body for nearly twelve years, has re-
signed.

ing in number, and otherwise, to the
coupon attached. If you find deer
in transit with a coupon attached,
and no person accompanying the
same, seize"
Deputies are instructed to prose-
cute all transportation agents not
complying with the law, and that they

CARE OF THE BROOM
MAKER TELLS HOW TO PRoLoN0
ITS LIFE.
Il Should Be Swung Back and Forth
From a Point Back of Sweeper
to Place at an Equal Die
lance In Front.

ut makes me sad" said broom
maker. Ito see the way people use
brooms. The life of a broom could be
twice prolonged by proper usage. and
used properly 1t would be vastly easier
to use.
You've seen people sweeping ahead
of them, pushing stuff with a broom?
Why, the best and most perfectly sea-
soned broomcorn stock that ever was
put into broom wouldn't stand such
treatment as that.
With such handling splints Will
break off. The spl.nts remaining,
jagged and uneven, bear unevenly on
the surface. You never can sweep
clean with 1t after that.
Then you know the majority OF
sweepers always sweep with the same
side Of the broom to the front, and in
this way they soon get the broom lop-
sided, 80 that they can't use 1t any
other way. There couldn't be worse
way.
Used in this manner the points OF
the splints get bent all one way and
then they meet together at their ends.
They don't bite. they don't take hold
of dust as they are meant to do they
don't sweep clean, and when a broom
has come to this condition the sweep
er IS less careful of it, for then it Is
not so good broom. Such a broom
the sweeper feels that he may push
ahead of him, and when he does this
with It the broom Is finally and ire
trievably ruined.
"Of course the correct way to use
broom Is with the tGndle. in its initial
position, held vertically, so that all
the splints In the face of the broom
will take hold at the same time and
evenly. In sweeping the broom should
be swung back and forth from point
back of the sweeper to a point at an
equal distance in front. That is the
proper way to use a broom, and then
every day the sweeper should turn
the broom around, so as to sweep with
different side daily. Used in this
manner and turned daily the broom
wears down evenly.
Il have seen-a delight to the pro-
fessional eye and comfort to every
body who likes to see any implement
used TO the best advantage. thought,
fully and considerately-I have seen
brooms that had been so used that
they had worn down almost to tho
binding threads, but that still bit beau
tifully. | am perfectly well aware
that brooms carelessly used, as COM
monty they are. wear out faster, with
corresponding benefit to broom
manufacturers: but still | do really
hate to see anybody misuse a broom
