Gnlfinn in France.

The French golfing girl is a rarity
so far, but she is increasing in spite
of difficulties. The links at La BOulie,
at Chantilly, at Fontainebleau, and
elsewhere are gradually attracting
her, and her skill when she does take
up the game makes her fully the equal
if not the superior to the English or
American girls who are members OF
the same club.
Strictly speaking, however, the
French golfng girl is more often
young married woman than a jeune
file, because there is always the diff
Guilty of the chaperon. 1t is rather
hard to expect a mother to follow her
girls round the links, yet unless she
does, she is not much use. Sometimes
a brother is considered a sufficient
protector, but brothers in France, as
elsewhere, are indifferently fond Of
looking after their sisters.

ROULETTE WHEEL IN A CANE
One More Added to the Variety of
Uses Frenchmen Make of This
Article.

The ingenuity of the Frenchman
has not been confined to the making
of weapons out of apparently harm
less canes. In fact, there is quite va
riety of uses which the cane is made
to serve.
One of the canes is fitted with
coinbox and a matchbox, these being
contained in the head, which is pro-
vided with a carefully concealed Id
The coinbox is arranged to permit OF
depositing and easily removing the
coins by a sight pressure OF the
thumb, thus obviating the necessity OF
fishing for coins in the pocket.
Another cane handle contains a
complete outfit of the game known as
Petits Chevaux. When the lid is open
betting can begin and the horse cross
ing the wire first wins the stakes.
One of the latest Partisan novelties
consists in a lady's parasol handle
containing a roulette wheel which
can be used for gambling at any place
or moment.
These handles have become very
popular. They are of fine workman
ship and generally of gold or silver.
One handle contains almost every
thing that one would be likely to need.
A long sheet of paper is wound around
the rod, from which pieces may be
torn off for taking notes. When the
lid is opened penknife, pencil, nail
file, combs and looking glass are dis
closed. These objects are small, but
large enough for practical use.-ScieD

SOLONs ASSEMBLE
IN EXTRA SESSION
Meet at Madison for EnaCtment
of Urgency Legislation.
BEAT INCOME TAX REPEAL
Move to Kill New State Law Voted
Down in Both Houses-Governor
Presents Message With Recon-
mendations at Joint Session.

Madison-Unusual activity char
acterized the opening of the special
session of the legislature on April
80, when Assemblyman Chauncey w
Yokey in the house and Senator H
H. Bodenstab in the senate introduc-
ed resolutions requesting that the
governor call another special session
Immediately at the close of the pres
ent sitting to repeal the income tax
law.
In each house the resolution was
defeated on points of order. Speaker
Ingram and Lieut.. Gov. Morris each
held that the resolutions were not
germane to the call for the special
session. The speaker was sustained
by vote of 62 to IL, and Lieut.
Gov. Morris by a vote of 20 to 6.
The two houses met at o'clock
and in the organization both elected
the former officers. Resolutions
were introduced which provided that
the rules of the 1911 legislature be-
adopted; that all rules requiring the
lapse of any time or delay in any
action be repealed; that no notice of
hearings before committees shall be-
required; that each committee shall
report all matters referred to it at.

bly, after such reference, and that
all matters pending, not in commit
tee, shall be placed on each days;

Gov McGovern appeared before
the two houses in joint session in
the assembly chamber and delivered
his message.
The Importance of urgency Iegis-
lation Tin ten special subjects was.
laid before the lawmakers by the
governor. The executive noted with
regret the necessity of calling them
from their daily duties to take up
the burdens of state, and referred to
their work in the 1911 session as
''transcending in Importance the
achievements of any preceding body
The emergency, however, demanded
the sacrifice.
The governor especially recon-
mended legislation to make a relief

to provide for improvement of the
Portage levee system, to enact a wa
ter power law, to amend the election
laws, and to enact fish and game leg
islation. The state could afford to be
liberal with Black River Falls, he
said.
The message contains no word
with reference to the income tax, for
the obvious reason that Gov. Nc
Govern did not include that topic in
his call
Bills were introduced in the two,
houses covering the subjects con-
tanned in the call for the special ses-
sion.
In addition to these, nonpartisan
bills were introduced providing for
fusion tickets in both municipal and
county elections.

NeUS From the Tripod

least important American colleges.
A study of the lives of such men as
James G. Blaine and his contempt
raries shows that the college courses
in his boyhood were little more than
the high school courses of today. The
colleges and preparatory schools have
made marked advances They have
widened their scope and made it pos
sible for students to find courses bet
ter adapted to their needs
Furthermore, they have placed a
ban on the loafer, and in all the larger
schools scores of students are sent
home every year for no more serious
offense than failure to make satisfac-
tory grades.
Colleges are also recovering from
the exaggerated athletic craze which
struck them broadcast ten years ago
and threatened to overshadow other
work. They are adopting more and
more the forms of athletics which will
interest all students and make it posi-
bic for the weak and strong alike to
, participate.
The good old college days" of our
grandfathers were doubtless glorious
days-to them. They We're the happy
days of their youth They were the
days before steam heat, before cleo
trio light before bath tubs.
Imagine the student of today, housed
in the modern dormitory. with its
comforts and conveniences, thrown
back fifty years into the day when the
! students cut their own wood and made
their own fires. Picture the freshman
of today dressed in linsey-woolsey and
wearing calfskin boots.
They were good days for those who
liked them.-The Tennessean.

THINGS THAT MERE

One of the penalties of youth is
having to hear older persons, especial
ly very old persons. tell how much
better things used to be when they
were boys and girls.
President Taft called attention to
the tendency to idealize the past in a
recent address to Yale alumni, an ad-
dress in which he expressed the belief
that college life of the present is far
superior in every way to what it was
in the past
The President said the tendency to-
ward democracy in college life is
stronger every year and all schools
are extending a more cordial welcome
to the student who is self-supporting.
He also expressed the belief that stu
dents of today are more serious in
their scholarship and less given tC
drinking and card-playing than the
collegians of the past.
Doubtless the statements of the
President are true Such critics of col
leges as the late Mr.. Crane of Chi
cago do not consider how large the
number of students is today compared
with fifty or twenty-five years ago
Furthermore, the means of publicity
have improved so materially that read
ers of newspapers in all parts of the
world now hear of the unusual doings
of students in even the smallest anC

TRADE AT HOME,

Discussing the advantages which
accrue to the man who spends his
money at home, the Sumner Herald
Progress tells this interesting story,
which points an excellent moral.
Down in South Mississippi, a few
days ago, man went into a store to
buy a saw. He selected the kind he
wanted, and inquired the price. The
dealer told him the saw was worth
$1.65.
Good gracious" said the man, Il
can get the same thing from Shears,
Robucski & Co. for 1.35"
THAT is less than it cost me-" said
the dealer, but I'll sell it on the
same terms as the mail order house
just the same"
"All right" said the customer, you
can send it to my house and charge it
to my account
Not on your life the dealer re-
piled. mo charge accounts here. You
cant do business with mail order
houses that way. Fork over the cash. -
The customer handed over the
cash.
"Now 2 cents for postage and 5
cents for a money order"
What?
Certainly; you have to send a let
ter and money order to a mail or
der house, you know
The customer, swearing inwardly,
kept to his agreement and paid the
money.
Now 20 cents for express charges. So
We'll, I'll be hanged" he remark
ed, but paid it and said, now hand
me that saw and I'll take it home and
be rid of all this tomfoolery."
Hand it to you? the dealer in.
quired where do you think you are ?
You are in South Mississippi, and l am
in Chicago, and you'll have to wait
two weeks for that saw"
Whereupon the dealer hung the saw
on a peg and put the money in the
cash register.
THAT makes S1.67," he said. at
has cost you two cents more and has
taken you two weeks longer to get il
than if you had paid my price in the
first place"

out of the store and toward his home

to her neighbor, Mrs. Florence ingalls,,
on the street last night, Mrs. Jessie

other and had been friends for several
years. They had never had any seri-

Mrs. Chapman until the latter touched
her on the arm and exclaimed:
Are you Mrs. Ingalls,"
Mrs. Ingalls, turned quickly, but be-
fore she could speak, Mrs Chapman
drew a revolver and fired six shots.
Every one of them took effect in the
body of Mrs. ingalls,, who fell dead on
the sidewalk. Mrs. Chapman fled to
the home of a friend where she was
arrested and, according to the police,
confessed to the shooting
