WHEN THE ROMANCE FADED
PIain-Spoken Husband Came to the
Point With a Few Words of
Unvarnished Truth.

Congressman Jim Mann was on his
way back from Chicago, and couldn't
help hearing the conversation of the
couple in the section right behind
his. They looked like newly married
folks, says Mack's National Monthly,
but We're not on their honeymoon, as
Mann learned by deduction. The
woman laid down a newspaper she
had been reading and said to her hus-
band:
do you know, wish l had one
of these afinities. Oh, I think 1t
would be just grand to sit on rock
with somebody and have him rave
about the Incompatible golden color
Of my hair and tell me that my eyes
were the most beautiful in the whole
world, and"
"Uh, huh," said the husband, yawn-
ing.
and that the delicate pink Of my
cheeks had been painted there by the
angels, and that he couldn't live with
out me. Ooh, I think an affinity like
that would be-"
"'Tisn't an affinity you want" IN

seem to want is plain, old-fashioned

Each kind of soil requires a particu-
lar kind of explosive 1t has been
found that in the clay soils slow
propelling force is the most satisfac-
tory, which is furnished in dynamite
of 81 to 80 per cent strength. This
explosive, acting slowly, removes the
roots without swapping them off above
the pillow line, leaving the soil in a
comparatively loose condition, as
shown in Figure l, which is very i'm
portant from physical standpoint.
When a speedy powder is used, as To
per cent strength, on the clay soil, it
Snaps many of the roots, leaving them
above the pillow line and packing the
soil firmly, leaving a sort OF basin
like that shown in Figure 2.
For the light sandy soil where the
footing is not good and there is
chance for the gases to escape, a
speedy force should be used, equal to
so per cent dynamite. The condition
of the soil with respect to moisture
regulates to a great extent the amount
of explosive required per stump. Ow
ing to a great variation in the struc-
ture of stumps, and soil conditions,
1t is impossible to give any definite
information as to the amount of pow
der necessary to blast a stump OF a
given size. This must be regulated
by the experience of the operator. Ex-
tremely loud reports and the throw
ing of the parts of the stump great
distances is an indication of an ex-
cessive use of explosives. A deadened
report following the explosion, the
splitting and lifting of the stump just
out of the ground shows the most
economical use of the explosive.
The most common way is to split
the end of the fuse to expose the pow
der which is lit with match. Some
place pinch of dynamite on the end
of the fuse. The quickest and most
satisfactory way when matches are
used is to thrust the head of a safety
match whose chemical part is just
starting to burn, into the end of the
fuse. This never fails to fire, no mat
ter how much the wind blows. 1t is
well to scratch the match on an adja-
cent root or the sole OF the shoe, so
the head of the match cannot burn
long before being thrust into the fuse,
which is very important in this meth
cd. Where a large number OF stumps
are to be fired at once, live brand
or an iron rod one inch thick and
about three feet long, heated in a
burning rubbish pile in the field, is
recommended

tection-officers Are
Elected.

Madison.-The state Federation OF
German Catholic Benevolent Socle-
ties closed their thirtieth biennial con-
vention in Appleton. The following
officers were elected for the ensuing
two years:
President John B. Helm, Madison;
first vice president, Jacob l.. Deuster,
Green Bay; second vice president,
Frank Gottsacker, Sheboygan; secre-
tary. August Sprinob, Milwaukee; cor
responding and financial secretary,

Bach, Medford; Joseph Herrle, osh-
kOsh
T.he convention Endorsed the sentt-
ment expressed on woman's suffrage
by Archbishop Sebastian G. Messmer,
Milwaukee, in which he vigorously
opposed the nfranchisement OF Wom-
en- and urged delegates to use their In
fuence in discouraging the ballot for
women and to vote against the issue
at the state election. The convention
adopted a resolution providing for
the establishing of Catholic home
in Milwaukee as a sort of refuge for
young men and women who visit that
city, who are without friends and
need stopping place that will give
the necessary protection from the pit
falls of a large city.
The need of more male teachers In
the Catholic schools was given espe-
cial emphasis and the federation will
make extra effort to get more of the
young men interested in the work OF
teaching. A resolution was also
adopted looking forward to the organ
ization of the working mems societies
for the protection of their interests
and to increase their efficiency as
workmen.

and most satisfactory way is to cut
the wrapper lengthwise into four parts
with a sharp knife as shown in Figure
8.
When this cut cartridge reaches the
bottom Of the hole and is pressed with
the ramrod it bulges and crumbles in.
to a mass. When placed in a cylin-
drical hole, the cut parts bulge so as
to fill the opening completely, thus
making the charge compact, which is
desirable.
Into the last part of the charge, the
fuse with cap crimped onto the end,
should be placed. Ii an ordinary fuse
is used, very quick and satisfactory
way is to hold the cartridge in the
left hand and make a hole with a
pointed stick slightly smaller than the
diameter Of the cap in the side near
one end at an angle of 80 degrees.
The cap is then pressed into it so
that it is buried in the powder and the
fuse bent back to form sort OF hook
with the cap as a point. (See Figure
80 This is passed down the hole to
the remainder of the charge and the
fuse can stand a reasonable amount
of pulling without coming out, but
rather tends to go farther into the car

Charity Meeting Plans Drawn Up.
Plans are well under way for the
state conference of Charities and Cor
rections to be held In Madison early
In October. A program Is being
formulated, a tentative sketch OF
which has already been outlined.
Several prominent speakers of nation,
al reputation will be secured for the
occasion, and it is hoped that general
interest in the work Of the Charities
and Corrections organizations will be
aroused in Madison.
The state Anti-tuberculosis society
will hold its conference here at the
same time.
1t is planned to open the conference
with big joint session of the Chart
ties and Corrections association and
the Anti-tuberculosis society, on either
the first or second Saturday evening

various churches will be sought, in
order that the spirit of charitable and
social work may be brought into the
foreground Of the sermons preached
that day.
Monday it is proposed to make a
day for the Associated Charities.
There are now about ten charities or.
CARNATIONS in the state, at Milwau
kee, Racine, Kenosha, Fond du Lac,
Oshkosh, La Crosse, Eau Claire,
Green Bay, Superior, and Madison
and it is planned to bring represent
atives from all these organizations to-
gether on that day for the discussion
Of the various phases of the work.
The morning will be given over to a
series of conferences, informal and
intimate in character, so that the real
problems Of the local communities
may be helpfully discussed. In the
afternoon, the conferences will be
more scientific and sociological in
character. big platform meeting
will be held Monday evening, with
some distinguished speaker to give
the address. 1t is planned to make
this a Child Welfare meeting, taking
up the subject in its broadcast impli'
cations.

To Meet at Fond du Lac.

7 o Meet at FOND du Lac.
Fond du Lac has been selected for
the 1913 convention of the Homeo-
pathic Medical society. 1t will be
held in May.
The new president, Dr. Minnie M.
Hopkins Of Oconto, announced the
following heads of bureaus: Materia
medica, DR.. Mary L. Ewing, Evans
vile; clinics, DR.. F. A. Walters,
Stevens Point; pediatrics, DR.. E. T.
Clark, Waupun; o. o. and L., DR.. f.
o. Foster, Fond du Lac; surgery, DR..
w. T. Clarke, Fort Atkinson; homeo-
pathy, DIR. James Lewis, Milwaukee;
Obstetrics and gynaecology, DR.. Lue[
la Axtelle, Marinette.
DR.. Hopkins is authority for the
statement that although there are
300 practicing homeopathic physi-
clans in the state, but 100 are men,
bers of the society.
In an informal discussion of how
to increase interest in homeopathy in
the state, following a paper by DR..
Lewis Sherman of this city, it was
suggested that the reason little inter
est is taken is because homeopathic
physicians generally are so satisfied
with their results that they do not
feel the need of making great effort
to get inspiration from any organiza-
ton. 1t was also suggested that
many homeopathic physicians no long-
er held entirely to the materia medica
of the school but resorted to surgery
and to certain remedies of the pro-
gressiye section Of the allopathic
school, resulting in an collective rather
than a purely homeopathic school of
medicine.
DR.. T. Bacmeister of Chicago,
spoke on "Hydrastis," a drug which
he used as an illustration of how the
scientific world for centuries refused
to see the virtue in homeopathic prin-
ciples.

Cold Kills Bee Colonies.
The past winter was one Of the

tor of Apiaries N. e. France, Platte
Vile Mr.. France reports that in
southern and eastern Wisconsin foul
brood wrought much havoc, many
keepers losing all their colonies. The
disease has been stopped, however.
European foul brood, known In New
York as black brood, and which in
that state destroyed 70 per cent of
the bees before being checked, now
has reached Wisconsin and several
other states and must be closely
guarded against.

France says, have come through the
winter in good form and the prospect
for honeymaking the coming season
is good
OF the 500 allowed by the state
for use of the association, Mr.. France
reports that only $527.76 has been
used for salary and expenses.
