At $50 o'clock Wednesday evening
lightning struck barn on the Harry

thousand dollars. Everything in the

who is the renter of the farm.
Six feet more in Lake Koshkonong!
Just stop and imagine what this would
mean. 1t would mean four feet more
here after heavy spring rains, which
would flood nearly every business cellar
in this city. 1t would change the face
of nature in this region. Black Hawk
island houses and trees would be shear
ed off by the spring ice. For twenty
wears dead trees would line the shores
of Lake Koshkonong and give them a
devastated look just as the beauty OF
our northern lakes was ruined by the
lumbermen % years ago by their tree
killing dams. This would be the hard
est thing to get over for the aesthetic
is strong in all of us. Bingham's and
Pierce's points would be little inlets
and mighty unhealthy places in sum
mer when the water was being lowered
to keep up the height of the channe
below. Otter creek and Koshkonong
creek would each form an arm of the
lake, miles in extent. Engineer Reeves
overlooked chance when he passed by
Deer creek marsh. A small dam al
Curtis Mills would make lake sever
miles long and five miles wide. For
Atkinson would be an isthmus between
two seas, even without dam acros:
Bark river, for the water in spring
would reach east to Palmyra.

Women in italy and Spain.

Even in the middle classes the wife
in Italy or Spain is often made to feel
that she is an inferior creature, whose
only proper sphere is the home al
though she is allowed to share her
husbands pleasures to greater ex
tent than the German frau. But, as
a rule, her home life is by no means
unhappy, for both Spaniards and Ital
ians of the middle and upper classes
spend much of their leisure time with
their families.
