Buffalo Bill and His Charger.

Every boy in the United States-and
that includes the gray-haired ones,
too-and many across the water, will
feel pang of sympathy for Col. Will
liam f. cody, better known as Buffalo
Bill, when he learns that the gallant
old scout has beer compelled, by dis
astrous turn in the wheel of fortune, to
part with his famous horst, Isham.
The thought of that magnificent ami
NAL being separated from his owner and
going into the hands of the Sheriff to
be sold for the payment of debts seems
unbelievable. The Wild West has
passed away, but Buffalo Bill and his
white charger remain fixed in the
minds of millions Of persons. They be-
long to the world of romance and adj
venture, and it will be a difficult mat
ter for many persons to associate the
man or the beast with anything so real
and SO sordid as writs, and Sheriifs and
liens for debts.
1t does not require very great
stretch of the Imagination to see Butfa-

tering the arena and lifting his SOM

The Wise Fool,

There was a half-witted youth in
Bridgetown to whom the neighboring
farmers liked to offer a penny and a
nickel.
Gathered about him in circle on
market day, the farmers, one after an
other, would say:
snow, which'll yer have, Peter:
Here's a cent--here's nickel-take
your choice"
And fool Peter would invariably
choose the cent rather than the nickel,
and the farmers before such incredible
foolishness would roar with laughter,
double in two and slap their legs noisi-
y with their brown hands.
Peter" man said one day to the
lunatic' "why is it that you always take
the cent instead Of the nickel?"
Peter grinned very cunning grin
Suppose took the nickel,n said he,
would | ever get chance to take an.
other one?"-New York Globe.

THURSDAY, AUGUST %, 1913,

Some figures showing the great IN
crease in the automobile industry IN
the United States have been compiled
hy the Manufacturers Record.
In the decade 1S9G-1909 the capital
invested in automobile manufacturing
increased from S., 900 tc sI3,S3b-
OOO In the same period the value OF
products leaped from 81, $4,000 to SID
$4,000. In 1899 there were but seven
ty-five establishments in the country
engaged in the manufacture OF automo-
biles and the number of wage earners
employed was 2,24l. In 1909 the num-
Der of automobile factories had grown
to 743 and the number of wage earnerS
TO 70, 72l.
Some comparisons are made with the
wagon and carriage industry. In the
ten-year period the number OF establis-
ments in the carriage and wagon indus
try decreased from G, 1862 to 5,492, and
the number of wage-ea,ners from ~
Sl2 to 6),93s. While there was de-
cline in the number OF establishments
there was an increase in capital from
$l28, 962, 900 in 1899 to sl15,474, 900 in
1909. The value Of products also in
creased from sl3S, 262, 900 to sl59, $4,000
Though the capital in the automobile
industry in 1909 was 81 ,637 900 less than
that in the carriage and wagon indust-
ry, the former was paying in annual
wages 81 ,099, 900 more to 5,193 more
wage earners than the latter and pro-
ducing to value $50, 309,0O greater
There has been decrease in the
number OF carriages manufactured and
only slight increase in number OF
wagons. There was an increase in the
value of wagons of 2S.5 per cent in the
ten-year period. Fifty per cent OF the
wagons made in the United States are
manufactured in four States, Wisconsin
Indiana, Illinois and Pennsylvania.
In view of the increase in the num-
Der Of motor-driven vehicles it is not
surprising that the number Of wagon
and carriage factories is decreasing.

The young man in Illinois who con-
fesses that he was so DESTROYS of own
ing his friends racing automobile that
he murdered the friend, buried him and
appropriated the autmoble, offers an
extreme illustration of the popular de-
sire TO be possessed of a motor vehicle.
1t was predicted when automobiles
came into general use that the country
would suffer panic as result Of the
recklessness OF persons who would Gown
automobiles or bust" as the popular
phrase goes, or, to be more exact, bust
as result of owning them.
1t was pointed out at that time that
the same idea prevailed in England
when carriages came into use, and that
it was proposed that Parliament should
enact law forbidding anyone 40 own
a carriage unless be could show the
authorities that he possessed wealth,
or income, arising from employment,
sufficient to warrant his riding in
carriage.
Carriages did not break England
Automobiles are not breaking Amer
lea, but there are, of course, many in
dlviduals who have gone to great
lengths to acquire them and have been
put 10 inconvenient expense in main
tainiug them. The young man in Hi
nois caps the climax of recklessness by
acquiring his racing car through the
assassination of friend.

The Feminist Movement.

Who was the first feminist? We sus-
pect that it was Adam, tremendously
impressed by his charming new play
mate and more than ready to give her
the lead when she wanted it. At any
rate, the world has been full OF femin-
lists from the year /, and the present
wave of feminism is not so much a rev.
olution as a "reminiscences.
1t is to us new, strange and import
ant at all events quite the most con-
spicuous fact OF the hour. In England
it has turned toward fanaticism and
has shocked John Bull into nervous
prostration. Here in America it has
centered about the demand for the bal
lot, which most women do not want and
which seems to-day utterly beyond
their needs. However, in thousand
lesser ways women's minds have be-
come more active, more concerned in
the way the world is running, and 1t is
plain that they are bent on having a
far more direct influence upon the
course of events than they have had in
the past.
Or as Mr.. Hapgood, in his Journal
of Termination, puts it:
The new position of women in the
world means that the intellectual and
moral standards of civilization are to
be changed. They are no longer to be
the expression of one sex slightly in
nuenced by the other. They are to be
the composite ideals OF the two, not of
the two acting separately, but of the
two as each will be modified by the
other as they come into fairer, fuller
and more equal communication.
This is understanding the influence
of women in the past. But it seems a
fair statement of the prospect for the
future. If any one is afraid of it now
is the time to escape to another planet.
For ourselves, We feel very much as we
suggested Adam may have felt in the
beginning of things.-New York Tri-
bune.

1t is estimated that not less than $50,
100000 worth Of property was lost by
fire in small towns and villages with
out means Of fire defense.
gurespublished in the July number
OF Safety Engineering show that SO per
cent. OF all the fire losses in the United
States in 1912 occurred in eleven States.
Fires which involved three or more
buildings occurred in 280 cities, towns
and villages Fifty per cent. OF these
were in towns and villages entirely
without tire-dghtiog equipment, and g
per cent in places with inefficient fire
department organizations. The reduc

should receive attention everywhere.

I'm! Um! l want to think this
over. You say he skulked away, and
yet he was In no danger. Rather
funny"
Miss Maude wanted to be alone and
still not be shut up in her room. There
fore she watched for a chance to reach
the beach unobserved. Half mile of
the sands was big rock. At low tide
1t stood up like a house; at high tide
the salty water swept It's crest. The
fishermen had been predicting a gale,
and there were signs that 1t was near.
There was boat drawn up OF the
beach. and what did the girl who want
ed to be alone do but launch 1t and
take the oars for row? She couldn't
help notice the swell and that the
tide was coming In, but she was fair at
the oars and strong In the arms and
she headed for the rock and reached 1t.
She had been sitting there for a quar-
ter OF an hour when she was noticed
from the hotel and an alarm given. 1t
was time and past time. The gale
broke with loud moan as the tide
turned, and five minutes later the
white caps were dancing and the spray
flying. All the boats except the one
she took were in the creek, a mile be-
low, but had they been at hand there
was no one to launch them.
There isn't man on the coast who
can row against the gale and tide"
said the father of the fishers; and the
others looked across at the girl and
shook their heads.
Neither fathers money nor the
tears of mother would drive them
to face the peril.
The gale took on new strength, and
the oncoming waves drove the half
crazed people back and when there
came break in the flying spray and
driving clouds all eyes went to the
rock and there were groans and MUIR
murs. The rock might be swept clear
OF human life the next view they got.
What is it! What is it," fifty
voices demanded as q fisherman ran
down into the surf and peered towards
the rock under the sharp Of his hand.
ITS boat, but they'll never make
it,"
Where! Where!"
Don't look! Don't see them drown!"
Some turned their backs, and some
sat down and covered their faces with
their hands.
Then through foam and spume. and
riding great roller boat came driv-
ing in and was caught and run high on
the beach-Hugh Lee at the steering
oar and Maude Allison crouched on the
bottom boards. He had brought her
back when old fishermen had said that
the stoutest skiff and the best oars
man could not live.
You see," said the father to his
weeping daughter that night, every
mans bravery is not alike. One may
fight lion and rur from the boot of
an owl; he may fight fire and dread
water; he may run away in battle and
have no fear of robbers. Better take
young Lee back into your good graces
and give me son-in-law."
And that's what she did.

COUNTY EXHIBITS
SET NEW RECORD
EVERY NORTHERN SECTION TO
BE ESPECIALLY REPRESENTED
AT STATE FAIR.
TO BOOST EVERY LOCALITY
Board Makes Liberal Appropriations
and Supt. George F. Comings En-
Iarges His Department.
COMPETE ON EQUAllZED BASIS

Efforts to make the Wisconsin
State Fair, Milwaukee, September
to II correlate the best of the coun-
ty fairs in fact as well as general
effect are SURPRISING those of form
er years, according to early lndlca-
tons. Practically every northern coun
ty in the state has signitied intention
to be represented in the county ex-
hibits department. Many OF the ola
southern counties which heretofore
have needed this special department
very little also have made appropria-
tons and will have large displays.
Within the past two or three years
only has the county exhibit depart
ment received definite attention, and
only few counties have been repre-
sented. This year more than thirty
counties had made preliminary ar
rangements before the spring had
had passed, and boards of supervis-
ors or special agricultural societies
were preparing for necessary action
III as many more. 1t is hoped that
every one of the seyenty-one coun-
ties will be thus specially represent
ed this year.
Each County Fair Chance.
The schedule of awards is so ar
ranged as to give each county a fair
chance. For instance, in the divis-
ion of premium money, points are
awarded for distance from the state
fair in order to Offset any advantage
because of proximity to the fair
grounds. The exhibits are to consist
| OF grains, fruits, vegetables. grasses
and seeds. Especial attention will be
given to the study OF seed grains In
| this department, as results OF the
efficient work by state experiment
stations and railroad and commercial
bodies will be in evidence.
The board OF agriculture has APP
propriated $4,000 for awards in this
department. on the basis of twenty
counties affording displays For
each county over twenty 500 will be
added and money will be divided pro
rata according to the score. The at
titude of the board toward the coun-
ty exhibits is not taken as In oppo-
sition to home fairs in the counties.
But, on the contrary, 1t is argued
that the excellent display of a coun-
tvs products at the state fair should
be OF benefit to a county and the
county fair.
Many New Features.
George +. Comings, Eau Claire. SUI
perintendent OF the county exhibits
department. has made elaborate ar
engagements for enlargement and
many new features. Mr.. Comings is
experienced in this specialty and the
results OF his methods supported By
