La Follette's Tribute to Wife,

Senator La Toilette pays the following
tribute to his wife in the course of his
autobiography. in the American Maya
zine:
MRS. La Toilette and I were classmates
at the University OF Wisconsin. and nat
urally We had common interests. The first
year of our married life, In order to
strengthen myself in the law. / was re-
reading Kent and Blackstone at home eve
nings, and she Joined me. This led later
to her taxing the Jaw law course as an m n
practice. She was the first woman gradu-
ated from the Wisconsin University law
school,,
ION one occasion when my firm was
overwhelmed with work at the circuit,
and the time was about to expire within
which our brief should be served In a SUI
preme court case. 1t having been stipu-
lated that the case should be submitted
without argument, l proposed to Mrs. La
Toilette that she prepare the brief. 1t
was a case which broke new ground, and
her brief won with the supreme court.
About a year afterwards, Chief Justice
Lyon In the presence Of a group OF law
years. complimented me on the brief
which my firm had filed in that case, say
Ing, 1T Is one OF the best briefs sub
mitted to the court In years, and In writ
ing the opinion, 1 quoted literally from 1t
because it was SO admirably reasoned and
SO clearly stated / said. Mr.. Chief JUS
tice, you make me very proud. That brief
was written by an unknown but very able
member Of our bar-altogether the BRAIN
lest members OF my family. Mrs. La Fol-
lette wrote that brief. from start to An
ish.'
ALTHOUGH Mrs. La Toilette never made
any further practical use of her law, this
training brought her into closer sympathy
and companionship with me in my profess
sional work., and IN my political career
she mas been my wisest and best COUNSEL
lor. That this Is no partial judgment. the
progressive leaders of Wisconsin who well
coined her to our conferences, would
bear witness. Her grasp of the great
problems, sociological and economic, Is
unsurpassed by any OF the strong men
who have been associated with me In my
work.

CHINESE LADS SCHOOLING.
Tho Ideals of tho Race for Scholar.
ship Rather Than for War.

Tho Ideals Of the Race for Scholar.
ship Rather Than for War.
From the Century.
For centuries most Chinese boys
have had three or four years Of school,
ing before going to work at the bust
ness Of their ancestors; but all that
the common people got was memory
work by sight and sound. They did not
reach the higher garde in which, ac-
cording to immemorial custom, the
teacher began to explain the meaning
Of words, characters and references.
Thus most coolies, whose vocabulary is
very limited, can read characters a
little, but with imperfect comprehen-
sion Of their meaning.
The bright boy Is encouraged to go
further. Indeed, the ideals of the race
have always been for scholarship
rather han for war, for mental rather
than for physical accomplishment, and
the hero-tales told to children show
ambitious youth arriving at prodigious
learning, and consequently high office
in the state, after a years of in
credible labor and ~self-denial.
Society is still divided into the four
ancient classes: Scholars, from whom
all officials are chosen; farmers; arti-
ans and laborers; merchants. Yet It
is possible for a clever boy of any class
to become a scholar and enter the gov
eminent service, and there are many
instances Of poor parents scrimping
and starving to keep a gifted son at his
long and severe studies until he can
pass the n examinations, become a
mandarin, or officeholder, and begin to
reward his family.

FOR HUBBY TO PONDER OVER
innocent Answer Of Quiet Little Wife
Got Him Started on Train
Of Thought.

The husband and wife were on their
way to the theater when the husband
began kicking because his wife took
such a long time dressing.
What delayed you this timer" he
growled.
Seeing the children to bed" she re-
sponded. quietly.
whats the nurse for?" snapped the
man.
THE nurse Is for our convenience
yours and mine, especially NINE" she
answered. But the boy certainly takes
after you. He asked the same kind of
a fool question just as I was kissing
him good night"
Fool question, Ell? Well. what was
it?"
II asked him If he had said his pray
ers. And he said no. And l asked
him If he didn't want God to take care
of him during the night. He answer
ed: What's the nurse for?'"
For the remainder of the way the
man pondered on this answer.

Emperor William Likes Writing.

Inc Kaiser as he Is, In the strand.
The kaiser makes ii a rule to cores
pond with many of his fellow
monarchs. He has a passion for letter
writing and disdains the artificial aid
OF the typewriter for correspondence
Of this Importance. He is an excellent
linguist, and can converse as huently
In either French or English as he can
in his native tongue. Indeed, he a
been heard 10 declare that he cannot
recall whether he was taught German
or English first. The latter Is quite
probable. since the emperor's first
nurse was an English woman His let
tiers have been described as real let
ters," since they embody the spirit of
the writer to a very considerable ex-
tent. He takes the greatest pains with
his communications, and will often pass
an hour. or two writing and rewriting
one Of these letters. 1t may be added
that 1t is only very rarely that his mai
esty honors those not Of royal birth
with a letter written entirely by him
self; but among the few who receive
these epistles from time to time Is the
earl Of Lonsdale, one OF his majesty's
Oldest and closest friends.
