what is death, doctor?'
asked the latter.
II don't know. Formerly we con-
sidered death the separation of animal
and spiritual life, occurring when the
heart ceased to beat. Now we know
that the body lives on after that Pc
Rod. There are two causes Of bodily
death or corruption-viz, microbes and
self digestion. Microbes cannot act il
not permitted to enter, and self diges-
ton cannot take place except through
the agency of water. Exclude the mi
crobes, exhaust the water, and, in my
opinion, the body may be kept alive
indefinitely. In that case spiritual
death may be eliminated"
A year after this announcement JON
athan Starkweather, the fnancier. feel
ing i'll, sent for DR.. Evan Carroll, the
man who made it. But before the
doctors arrival the patient had died
Of heart failure. Carroll produced an
order signed by Starkweather twelve
months before for the body. Arthur
Starkweather, the deceased's Oldest
son, knew Of the order, respected it,
and the body was transferred to DR..
Carroll's laboratory.
Arthur Starkweather inherited his
fathers fortune. but by the will, in
case Of his death without issue, it
was to go to DR.. Carroll in trust to
endow an institute for scientific re-
search. Two years after getting pos-
session Of the property Arthur Stark
weather died a bachelor. DR.. Carroll
at once put in a claim for the estate
on behalf Of his institute.
Innumerable Starkweathers sprang
up to contest the will.
A meeting was called. a committee
appointed and counsel employed.
A month later counsel informed the
committee that there was no doubt of
their ability to break the will. owing
to a flaw in the deed Of trust. The
trustees attorneys were so far con-
vinced Of this that they made an offer
to compromise. The offer was submit
ted to n meeting OF the h~eirs-at-law
and unanimously declined.
Dr.. Carroll, who was present at the
meeting. arose and stated that there
was some doubt about Jonathan Stark
weather being dead and he might be
capable Of making another will. All
were surprised ut what was consid-
cred an absurd bluff on the part of a
nan who stood at the head OF scien-
tifc research in America. Shouts aof

DR.. H. F. Willard, who has been
abroad since last winter, arrived home
Wednesday evening with his wife from
Tomahawk, in the northern part of the
state, where the latter has spent the
summer and where he joined her a
couple of weeks ago. Their children
returned home the early part of the
month in order to attend school: DR..
Willard, who is vice president of the
Bureau of University Travel of Boston,
left last February for Egypt, Pales-
tine, Turkey, Greece, Italy and other
European countries.
Miss Lena Johnson, who until re
Gently was employed at the Depart
ment store, was Wednesday evening
rendered a shower by her former fell
low clerks, the gathering taking place
in the rest rooms on the second floor
after the store had closed. Miss John
son. who on some preteXt was enticed
to the store, was, after light refresh
ments had been served, presented with
a handsome baking dish as a remem-
brance of the occasion. The young
lady, we understand, will this fall be-
come the bride of Julius Johnson Jr.,
younger son of Mr.. and Mrs. Julius
Johnson.
Alleging that the night operator at
the EdgertOn depot had failed to sell
him a ticket week or ten days ago,
John A. Kidd of this city paid the ex-
ira ten cents, but brought the momen-
tous matter before the railway rate
commission, which has duly notified
the railroad company, and at the pres
ent writing it is hard telling what will
be the final outcome of the matter.
Assistant Division Superintendent E.
w. Robinson of Milwaukee, who hap
pened to be here on some other bust
ness Saturday morning, availed himself
of the opportunity to call Kidd before
him, and also had Will Symons, the
Edgerton night operator, come up on
the morning train so that ne might
quest ton them both. SymOns emphat-
ically asserted that as far as he could
recollect Kidd had not called for any
ticket from him.
To liquor must doubtless be attri-
buted the untimely death of George
Strommen, eldest son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Charles Strommen, whose mangled re-
mains were discovered at about four
o'clock Sunday morning on the st.
Paul tracks near the Sanitarium In
South Madison. Just when he was
killed or how he met his death will in
all probability never be known, but il
is coniectured that he had boarded the
Chicago freight, due here some time
around midnight, and in some way had
fallen under the train. 1t is reported
that the body had been dragged by the
train for distance of about half g
mile.

MAKE SCREEN USEFUL
DECORATIVE PoseIBIIrIKs ARE
MANY AND VARIED.
Ideas From the Japaness Worth Cor
slderation - AZ Substitute for
Ordinary Door q Perfect Color
Scheme May Be Devised.

! AS q decorative adjunct to the In
terror the Japanese have always been
credited with recognizing and availing
themselves of the screen when plan
ming the furnishing of a house. And
from the east to the west women have
been taught also how useful the
screen can be in a decorative scheme.
By screen perhaps one insenslbly
means the usual fourfold arrangement,
but 1t Is, also meant to convey the
finely carved and artistically designed
oak or similar wood erection which
one find sometimes used instead of
doors. But such a screen must be In
long since realized how fine an effect
can be produced by the right kind Of
screen in the right place.
And now architects are commencing
to know its value, and In modern
houses the screen Is, to a certain ex-
tent, r~enlacing the old-fashioned door.
That Is TO say, In a house boasting Of
Ave rooms, and not in a suburban villa
residence. By the substitution of the
screen for the ordinary door = house
OF vistas Is the result. Long rooms
leading one from the other, the decora-
ton OF each 30 arranged that the color
scheme and furnishing seem to blend
artistically to form a perfect whole.
And that Is where the decorator tri-
umphs.
Today the four leaf screen has per-
haps reached a eliminating point In
artistic conception, and In the exquis-
ite handwork which distinguished the
screens which come to America from
Japan, although there are many beau
tiful examples which are made here.
For instance, for a Louis XIV. draw
Ing room nothing could be more in har-
mon with the period than a screen in
tapestry.
The latest japanese screeng are the
work Of artists who understand and
appreciate the blending of the most
delicate and the most crude colors,
and the result Is a masterpiece Of
~needlework.
On a dark background one design
represents q tall tree standing in a
meadow, and in the long grass are
seen tiny white wild flowers. In an
other panel there Is q tree overlooking
a pool, the branches casting deep
shadows in the water. The framework
If the screen Is lacquer.
Another beautiful screen represents
Mount F't1yama and the Inland sea,
he rosy light reflected from the snow
clad peak shining on the water; beside
the lake, standing sentinel, there is a
tall tree, the light shining on the trunk
and turning it to green and gold. In
he water there are some white ducks
1isporting themselves. Each panel of
his screen forms a complete picture.
Perhaps the most beautiful OF all
was the screen in dull black cloth,
which formed a perfect background
Tor the scene depicted, tall purple and
white iris growing In q pool, the tall,
sptky leaves being so absolutely per-
feet and the flowers SO wonderfully
worked as to make IN doubt whether
It could be embroidery. Over the pool
lowered a solitary bird with a red
and blue head and a long red bill,
which gave the little touch Of color
which the picture needed.

Great Work Done by Boys.

Painting is not the only art in
which masterpieces have been pro-
duced by mere boys. Although 1t WAS
not published until a year later, 1t is
probable that Keats wrote his famous
Ode to Autumn In his sixteenth year,
and, indeed, all his five great odes,
among the greatest In any language,
before he attained legal manhood.
He died at twenty-five, SO that all the
masterpieces which came from his
pen may be regarded as the produc-
ton of a boy.
