THOUGHTS ON THE SEX.

When the bargain hunters last dol
lar is spent, so is she.
A woman can say more IN a look
than a man can in book.
1t takes a tender young widow to
capture tough old bachelor.
We never yet saw woman so
timid she wouldn't strike bargain.
If woman knows she's pretty it's
not because some other woman told
her So
Sinnick says more women are wooed
for their compilations than for their
characters.
A shrug of woman's shoulders
can blast a reputation more effect
lively than words.
Although women love bargains, they
are not especially fond of the man who
cheapens himself in their eyes.

WAuKEsHA IN FIRST DISTRICT
Lafayette and Green County are TAX
en- from the First District and
Placed in Second and Milwaukee
Gets Two Congressman.

Kenosha is to have some new asso
ciates in the congressional district if
the bill for the reapportionment of the
state presented to the state senate late
Wednesday afternoon becomes a law
for under the new apportionment the
First Congressional District will lose
two of the counties now in the district
and the loss will be made up by the
addition of Waukesha county to the
district. The change is a notable one
and it will bring complications into
the district and it will undoubtedly
make it harder for men who have held
office in the district for years to hang
on to their Offices. Waukesha county
is made up of lot of fighting poll
ticians and it was on account of this
fact that the Milwaukee members of
the state senate desired to take Wau-
kesha county away from the Milwau-
kee district and put it into some other
district. Under the provisions of the
rev law which it is declared will pass
both houses of the legislature, prac-
tically without debate the first district
will be made up of Rock, Walworth,
Waukesha, Racine and Kenosha coun-
ties and it will have a total popula-
tion of 212,605. It will be one of the
smallest districts in the state under
the new apportionment. Gree Ind
Lafayette counties long connected with
the first district have been switched to
the second congressional district.
The new district will be just about
as heavily Republican as the old and
Kenosha county will be the only county
in the district that is liable to return
a Democratic majority. The Republi-
can nominee for congress in the dis
trict will have the usual walk away
in the race.

Soft BsSTS of China.


The natives Of China use large bells
of their own make in many of their
temples and monasteries, writes the
United States consul at Foochow. I
have noticed all through Japan and
China that the tone of the monastery
and temple bells is very soft and
smooth, due to the superior quality
of the material used in their manu-
facture and to the absence Of iron
clappers, the result being marvellous
softness and meIlowness of tone. The
bells are never swung, being always
suspended in d fixed frame, and the
sound is produced. by striking them
on the outer edge with wooden mall
let. This makes the soft tones which
are so delightfully."- melodious.

HAYWOOD WILL SPEAK IN MINoT
Former Secretary Of the Western Fed
Grafton Of Miners to Appear 1t
Jaeobson's opera House June 8.

William D. Haywood, the renown-
ed Socialist speaker, will appear Il
Jaeobson's Opera house on the night
of June 8, where he will speak on
The Coming Victory of Labor. /"
Tickets for the lecture are but -
cents, which pays also for three
months subscription to "The 1ntsrna-
tional Socialist Review" the fighting
magazine of the working class. The
lecture begins at $50 and q large
crowd is assured.
Walter Wellman in the Chicago Re-
cord Herald says Of the speaker, the
following:
William D. Haywood, former Secre-
tary of the Western Federation of
Miners, is the man that the capitalists
of Idaho and Colorado, through their
state officials, tried to murder because
he was, as he still is, one of the
strongest fighters for the working
class in the great struggle that is now
on.
He has just returned from Europ-
can lecture tour starting just after the
International Socialist Congress 1T
Copenhagen where he represented the
Socialist Party Of America. Every.
where he spoke, thousands flocked to
hear him. He packed the largest hall
in London; Miners in Wales damned
every available bit of space in their
efforts to hear him. The men refused
to go home after the meetings, and
the constant cry was More! Go on!"
Haywood is a giant of man,
strong as a bull. He is big in body,
in brain and in courage. He looks
fighter and is fighter. He has
been fighter all his life. AS mere
boy he fought for his daily bread in
Mines in Utah and Idaho. The
mine owners and corporations may
think they have him beaten. They
may dwell a year or two in sweet
dreams of peace and security, but
in the end they will have to reckon
with this genius among labor gen.
erals"
