Young Warrenton proved right theirs
and then that he had the makings OF
| good lawyer He wasn't ten minutes
figuring out why the mortgage had
been foreclosed. He talked bit more
with the girl, whom the father had
| referred to as Ethel, and admiring the
courage she was showing in the face
of misfortune, he said to himself:
"I'll see that old Carney doesn't find
it SO easy after all"
Five minutes later he knew who the
old man was He was the man he had
almost run over the day before. Ten
or twelve men arrived at the same
time with him, and among them was
the son. He was typical farmers
hired man He knew when to SOW
oats, but he didn't know who was gov.
ernor Of the state. He could spell
"hen,' but he ate with his knife He
could pillow a straight furrow, but he
had never heard OF the Atlantic
ocean.
And the old man was ready to can
eel the mortgage if the girl would
marry that thing!" exclaimed young
Warrenton to himself.
The first bid the sheriff got was
$3.50, and old Carney looked around
defantly as he made it,
and fifty better!" added the law.
yer
See here, sheriff, this Teller can't
be allowed to bid" shouted the old
man.
But why?"
Because he almost run me down
yesterday"
That's no reason
well, he hasn't got a hundred dol
lars to his namei"
'As it happens, he's got an even ten
thousand" replied the official after
being shown the certificate of deposit.
"I'll outbid him-I'll bid forty times
what the place is wuth!"
But old Carney began to cringe as
the bidding went up, and when it had
reached $3.50 he drew out His son
tried to brace him up, and he got the
laugh from the others, but he con-
solded himself by retorting:
THE Teller can have the farm, but
if he gets the gal away from Isaac--!"
The sheriff was pointing finger at
him and he swallowed the rest.
When all was over Mr. Warrenton
knocked softly at the door. No one
answered it, and he entered. He heard
voices in the bedroom and he tip-toed
across. Mr. Isabel had his hands over
his face, and that of the weeping girl
was hidden in the bed-covers.
.It's-its overt" said the young
man.
''Then who don't old Carney come in
and order us to vacate forthwith"
asked the farmer.
Because l bid in the place instead
of old Carney"
But how long do you give us?"
'fWill ten years be satisfactory"
The girl rose up, and through her
tears and with trembling voice she
said:
Il can't tell you how much we have
worried 1t will be kindness if you
will tell us just what your plans are
in regard to the farm"
why, your father is going to get
we'll as fast as he can. Meanwhile, |
will get hired man for him to direct
When he can walk around there will
be a partnership. We'll combine law
and agriculture and change the sign
to read: 'Warrenton g. Isabella"
Did the girl understand? Not for a
long time Not till ono evening when
the lawyer asked:
See here. dear, l bid for the farm
and encumbrances. Didn't that mean

You are a lawyer and ought to

III taking this route, one can see
the Indians living their own
natural way, and it is hard to believe
that they live practically on the ground

their homes
Our party, seated in a four-hOrse
rig, rode 25 miles the first afternoon,
staying that night at an Indian school
named "Tohatchi" (meaning Scratch

to eat luncheon. That night we put
up at another Indian school, named
-Toadalena" (meaniDg running wa

sea level, and the scenery is very pref

meals and nice place in which to
sleep. The third and last day we made
so miles without any stop, but ate our
luncheons as we rode along AS we
travelled we were fortunate enough to

Very Little Clothing.
The Navajos live in hogans and te-
PEGS, built low and small, with no
floors and very little ventilation. They
usually have a rough door, or hole in
the top. One of these small houses
which accommodates family of al
most any size. These Indians sleep
on sheepskins, and cover themselves
with the blankets they make. Very
little clothing is worn by them, and
very seldom a hat Most of rhe men
have kerchiefs around their heads. to
keep the long hair outsof their faces,
and the women usually have blankets
over their shoulders, and their hair is
tied in a knot back of their heads
The jewelry worn by the Indians
consists principally of silver rings and
bracelets, made by them, set with tur-
ouoise, and worn chiefly by the wom-
en-.
Anyone travelling in the desert would
never think 1t SO thickly populated,
but if an Indian should be shot, there
would be several hundred at the scene
of the shooting in less than half day,
as they have rejecting mirrors to use
in signaling their distress calls
The Navajo rugs are noted for their
beauty and durability; but one would
be surprised to see how some of them
are made. They have frame. set up
in the outsideA of their hogans, and
here they sit in the sun, taking days

On an average of one every twenty

the Indians bring their rugs, wool and

Wisconsin Coal Rates.

Wisconsin paper makers were given
a hearing before the railroad commits
sion upon their petition asking for an
adjustment OF coal rates in Wisconsin.
Some years ago, after hearing, the
rates were reduced under group plan
whereby the freight charges on coal
were the same from all ports, that is,
the rate from Milwaukee, Manitowoc,
Green Bay or Superior was the same.
Now the railroads ask that the rates
for distances that are materially short
er than from the more distant ports
be made lower, contending that the
group system as applied to those local
tiles in which the paper mills are is
not a reasonable scheme. 1t appeared
from testimony at the hearing that
more than so per cent. of the coal
used in the Fox river valley is shipped
from Milwaukee, Notwithstanding the
fact that the ports of Manitowoc and
Green Bay are much nearer. The rail
roads contend that the present ar
rangement is the best, not only be-
cause it is established but for the rea-
son that any other arrangements
would result in giving causes for~com-
plant to particular localities.

Highway Commission Asks $1,5oo,ooo.

Highway Commission Asks $1,5oo,ooo.
Applications for state aid to the
amount of $1,5O0,0GO have been re-
ceived by the highway commission
from the counties for the year 1914.
This is about 100000 more than will
be available, which sum is just about
equal to the amount asked for by cities
and villages under the law passed ~
the last legislature permitting certain
of them to participate in state aid
Chief Engineer Hirst of the commits
sion said that every county in this
state will have road construction done
under the direction of the commission.
The fact that more aid is called for
than is available will result in cutting
down the amount asked for by those
counties that have petitioned for
amounts in excess of their proportion

Save Children From tuberculosis.

Save Children From tuberculosis.
Guarding childhood from tubercule-
sis and urging upon the state its re-
sponsibility in the fight against dis
ease and for public health will be the
keynotes of the coming years work of
the Wisconsin Anti-Tuberculosis asso-
citation, official announcement to this
effect having been made at the annual
meeting of the state society at St.
Johns cathedral auditorium, Milwau-
kee. Emphasis was conferred on these
two lines of work in the convention
program, the session being devoted to
discussion of "The Child and Tuber
culosis'' and the evening one to THE
Relative Importance of the State and
Voluntary Societies in the Tuberculo-
sis Movement" Both sessions were
largely attended, there being visitors
from Chicago and other cities outside
of the state as well as a representative
gathering of Wisconsin workers.
The fact that private societies, such
as the Wisconsin Anti-Tuberculosis as
sociation, are doing the work which
properly belongs to the state and the
municipality and which will eventually
be taken up by the proper authorities,
was emphasized by Prof. NJ. P. Rave
mel of the University of Wisconsin,
president Of the state association, dur
ing the brief remarks with which he
introduced DIR. John H. Lowman Of
Cleveland, president of the national as
ISOLATION.
Professor Ravenel also took occa-
sion to protest against the disposition
on the part of some of the local So
cieties to conduct their Christmas
stamp sales independent of, instead Of
in cooperation with, the state and ma
tional sale OF the red cross seals. He
urged the necessity Of loyalty to the
parent organization and called atten-
ton to the fact, cited in the report Of
the executive secretary, DR.. Hoyt E.
Dearholt, that the work of the state So
ciety is carried on entirely with the
funds which come in from the sale of
these seals, 'one cent at a time The
state society expended $4,000 last
year and demands are constantly ip-
creasing.

SHOCK TO PLACE HUNTERS.

If President Wilson has the cour-
age to stand firm in his determination
not to receive the clam0rous army Of
applicants for Office until after they
have been wccdcd out by department
heads, he will save himself an import.
ant part Of the real burdens Of admin.
@istration. Almost the first rule an.
nounced from the White House after
Mr.. Wilson had entered it was that no
man seeking a job would be received
by the president except upon invita-.
ton. And doubtless there are in
Washington today thousands Of hun.
CRY patriots walking about the streets
thinking If not saying unc0mplimcnt.
airy things Of the president from whom
they are seeking favors.
This was a wise policy to inaugur-
ate at the very beginning OF the new
administration and it vii mean a vast
saving of time and neergy that can be
well used in matters Of more import
ance to the nation. In the early days
Of the republic no applicant for office
would have dared approach the chief
executive with a personal solicitation.
Such an act would have been regard
ed as in exceedingly bad taste. Those
were the days when the theory that
the office should seek the man was no
mere fiction as it is today. Men with
political aspirations probably had the
same yearning to serve their country
for a substantial remuneration as
| now, but they did not have the temer-
ity to 20 direct to the president and
plead for preference. Such 4 custom
might have continued all these years
had it not been for Andrew Jackson,
who. when he became president, re.
| versed conditions and invited the APP
| plicants to call at the White House
and present their own cases. His
theory was that one might as well be
frank about such things and that if a
man wanted an office there could be
no prticular harm in his asking for
it in person.
Those who are familiar with the
writings of Woodrow are not surpris-
ed that he has shut the doors on the
horde Of job hunters. In n of his
essays Mr.. Wilson wrote: "Americans
of the present day p%receptibly shud.
| der at the very recollection Of Jack.
SON." that she seems to them a great
vandal, PLAYING fast and loose alike
| with institutions and with tested and
established policy, %debauchins politics
like a modern spokesman Thus we
see that President Wilson had given
considerable though TO this policy
long before he put it into practice as
president. And it is to be hoped that
he will 90 further and not make whole
sale changes merely for the sake Of
turning out adherents of one political
party to provide places for members
of another. -
