used in making the breed. The Ply.
mouth Rock is more like the Asiatic
than the European chicken.
The greatest recommendation for
the Plymouth Rock is the excellent
growth made by the young chickens.
In this quality they have no superior.
The plymouth Rock pullets are good
layers, but as yearling hens are prone
to tun the feed into fat rather than
eggs.
One objection to the barred variety
is the difficulty in keeping the breed
true to the standard type. The pure
breds are required to have even and
distinct bars of the same shade in
male and female These are difficult
points to maintain and resort is often
made to double matings or the keep
ing Of two breeding pens, one to pro-
duce cockerels and the other pullets
White and buff Plymouth Rocks are
later products than the barred variety.
Much of what has been said will apply
to these also. The white variety is
free from the color objection of the
barred type, but the objection to the
fattening tendency applies to hens OF
this variety perhaps more forcibly
than to tie barred Buff Plymouth
Rocks will average smaller than the
other varieties of the breed. Although
solid color bird. they, like all buff
breeds except the buff cochin, viii be
found difficult to breed of one color,
owing 10 the tendency TO possess
black or white in the wings and tail

Hats of Various Kinds.

When Mr.. Roosevelt says: my
hat is in the ring" he adopts the
language of pugilism, except that
he should not have said that" The
old-time champion always "shied
their castors into the ring"
Yet the word that" has further
significance at this time. Gessler,
the tyrant, got gay once and, plac-
ing his hat on pole, commanded
the people to bow before it. Some
of them did so, but more of them
refused, and Gessler and his despot-
ism came to an end.
Either as an emblem of pugilism
or of tyranny Mr.. Roosevelt's hat
will not brighten anybody. This is
as good time as we shall ever have
to knock the third-term idea into a
cooked hat.-Republic.

The Congressional Situa tfon From
A Democratic Standpoint.

The democratic congressional sit
uation is beginning to attract inter
est because of the chance that the
state of Wisconsin may go democrat
ic next fall and elect democratic con-
gressional candidates from a major
ity of the districts. In fact, even
should the state not go democratic
there is prospect under the new
apportionment of considerable gain
in the democratic representation,
while sweeping democratic victory
would mean that at least eight and
possibly nine districts would return
democratic congressman.
In the new eighth district the
names of Assemblyman Plowman
and Senator Albers are being men
toned as possibilities and there is a
strong likelihood one or the other of
the men will make the run.
1t is said, however, there will be
no primary election contest in the
Eighth district but that on the con-
trary any man whom the leading
democrats unite on as their selection
to be the candidate viii be given a
clear field in the primary election.
Other men who have been mention
ed as congressional possibilities in
the Eighth district have been John
F. Lamont,o of Wausau and Attorney
Rawson of Plainfeld. Both of these
men were congressional aspirants
two years ago, Mr.. Rawson having
been the democratic candidate in
the old Eighth district and Mr.. La
mont in the old Tenth district. Both
under the new apportionment are,
however, now living in the new
Eighth district. Messrs. Rawson and
Lamont met in Milwaukee some
weeks ago, and during the meeting
the congressional situation in the
new Eighth district was brought up
and discussed at length. During the
meeting both Messrs. Lamont and
Rawson declared they had no inten-
ton of being congressional candi-
dates in the Cominy campaign, and
it was at that time the suggestion
was made of Assemblyman Plowman
as possible candidate. 1t is under
stood around the district that Mr..
Plowman is willing to make the run
for congress if the leading demo
Gratis of the Eighth district desire
that he shall be a candidate. He will
however, not make any contest for
the nomin2 ton. Milwaukee News.

UNION MEETING AT ST.
PAUL'S CHURCH.
DR.. Evans Gives Interesting Sermon on
Strength of the Bible.

At the union meeting held under
the auspices of the Men and Religion
Forward Movement at st. Paul's
church Sunday evening DR.. Silas
Evans, president of Ripon college,
gave very interesting sermon to a
large assembly of men, representing
all the different churches in the city.
His subject was s'The Bible as Abid-
ing Literature" DR.. Evans said that
in spite of the multitude of novels
and other reading matter published
constantly the Bible still leads in
numbers being placed among the peo-
pie, the record for last year being
two million copies sold. The reason
for this remarkable sale can be looked
70 as fact, that the people always
will look for the truth that the Bible
teaches US, although it may have
been read over time and again. When
all other books or reading matter fail
to interest man or woman the Bible
will hold the mind of its reader TO
the facts that have inspired the peo-
pie for decades. The speaker closed
his sermon with the remark '1that
while the Bible does not appeal to
every one in the same light, still
everyone believes in the truths it ex-
pounds, and believes it is work ac-
complished under inspiration of God. .
Preceding the sermon of DR.. Evans
the following program was rendered:
Organ prelude.
Prayer-Rev. f. H. Brigham of the
First NJ. e. church.
Singing by ST. Paul's choir.
Reating from Scripture-Rey. J. M.
Duer of the First Presbyterian church.
Solo-"The Penitent," Miss Selma
Pagenkopf.
Prayer-Rev. VIM. H. Gould of the
Uniyersalist church.
Solo-"The Dream of Paradise, /"
George yellow.
The choir of st. Paul's church sang
an Anthem at the conclusion of the
sermon and the Rev. e. G. Grauer
closed the meeting with benediction.
The church was crowded to its capa-
city, there being over one thousand
people in attendance.

No, not a delegate at large, but
We editor has been urgently solicited
to become a candidate as district

an imperative you've gotta, and
so matters have drifted along, until
we are nearly at the point where

of the popular song, that it
Makes no difference If he Is houn'
You gotta quit kicking my dawg aroun'."

pendent enough to express his views
on the various questions at issue,
is sure to have his pet "purps"
jostled about considerably, realizing
this, the notice will not be strenu-
ously backed up.
However, we viii make this an
nouncement No matter what may
be our personal views regarding the
various presidential candidates, if
elected as a delegate we will vote
for the democratic presidential can

SCHOOL NOTES.

Miss Bohrer went to Reedsburg on
Thursday to visit the Sank County
Teachers Training school. She was
entertained at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Brooks and Mrs. and Miss Win
ME. She found the training school in
commodious quarters, occupying ten
large rooms besides wardrobes and
store-rooms in building of their
own, with fine gymnasium in the
basement. The school was equipped
with good library, museum and
abundant kitchen furniture, for the
students themselves, parties which
might be given ard for the entertain
ment from time 70 t-I-e of delegates
from country ca. which have
been organized in the country recent
ly. Notwithstanding the excellent
teaching force and splendid equip
ment the people of that county are
a little slow in approaching their
opportunity for the school has an en-
rollment of little more than a third
of its seating capacity, and not
single young man is registered among
the students. The county training
school in being primarily profession
al school is a splendid field for the
young man as well as the Young
woman TO get hold of his or her own
powers of mind, an analysis of self
andan estimate of undeveloped ability.
which win be OF infinite value to thep,
as foundation in any field of life
work. Training of this kind is I'M
known in many other kinds of schools.
The program given last week vas
somewhat different from the Others
presented this year. The committee
aimed to entertain the school by
what might be termed funny selec-
TONS but at the same time to pre-
sent something worth while. They
are TO be congratulated on the success
of their program. Special mention
should be made of the music and selec-
lions prepared by the Misses Rein
Kronbuegel and Kollath. The work
was under the direction Of Miss Ham,
