THE FOLLY OF DlscoNTENT
Vain Longing and Aspirations, as
This Little Fable Shows, Are
Things of Moment.

A fashionable woman, coming from
the opera, in the rosy nest Of hmou-
sine, passed group OF laborers at
midnight. Machines, like terrible ami
mails, we're burrowing into the earth.
Steam was kissing, as If from the
mouths of million serpeuts> Rocks
flew in every direction. Torchlights
danced. There was the thunder of Ia
Dor. The night shift was in full
swing.
And the woman, glancing from the
window at a certain workman, for an
instant thought:
How wish l had that brawny la
borers strength and joy of life! How
l envy him his power, his physical
perfection, the wonder of his man
hood, his freedom from the shackles
that bind me. He is his own master,
while / am a slave--the slave Of a
man despise!"
At that moment the laborer paused
long enough by the deep chasm where
his engine rocked, to glance into the
motor as IT sped by him, And he
thought:
"Oh, to be like her! To know leis-
sure and wealth and rest! To be free
from drudgery and toll. to come and
go as l pleased! To throw off the
chains of debt and worry, and have
the days and nights stretch ahead of
me like field of tiowers!"
But in another instant the motor
was gone. The torohlights flared
brighter than ever. And each had
forgotten the other.--Judge.

LITTLE CHANGE IN MANKIND
Scientists of Opinion That Dispersion
and Separation of Races Was
Not Rapid Process.

Though it is conceivable that man.
Kind may have spread from a common
center over the entire earth in few
thousand years. Prof. Arthur Keith, in
a Birmingham university lecture, has
pointed out that the discoveries of the
last 90 years clearly indicate that the
dispersion and separation into widely
separated races has not been a rapid
process
The inhabitants of the lower Nile
valley, though immigrants have ar
rived among them, show clearly per-
sistence of the old types for 5000
years. The permanence of human
types has been also shown in Amer
ica, and human skeleton of Yansing,
Kan, found at a depth of % feet in a
glacial deposit, probably dates back
10000 years.
The men of England of 5000 years
ago had the modern stature, with the
form of head and strength of muscle
OF many men of today. Professor Keith
declared that his audiences had rep
resentatives of the men of the Derby
shire cave, in America the red In
dian preserves the form of men who
lived before the last glacial invasion.
and the predynastic Egyptian survives
in tribes on the Red sea.

GeometricaI Staircase.

What is believed to be the first geo.
metrical staircase ever built of con-
crete forms part of the "Caracol'
tower in a museum building that has
just been completed in Los Angeles.
The building with it's tower is in the
quaint ancient Spanish style of archi-
lecture and is constructed entirely of
poured concrete. The tower Is 125
feet high. In the center is the geo.
metrical stairway, consisting of 100
steps, circling around an open space
only "a inches in diameter and mount
ing to a height of 120 feet. Unlike
most geometrical staircases, including
the one in st. PauPs cathedral in Lon
don. this staircase occupies only a
small part of the tower, space being
left for rooms of fairly large size on
each Of the seven floors. rs.-Popular Me.

Trustees.

Plan Approved by the Board Of
Trustees.
College Park, Md.-At meeting OF
the board of trustees of the Maryland
Agricultural College, held here. the
plan for a commission or directorate
form of administration for the insti-
tuition as presented at its last meeting
by President H. ]. Patterson, was ap-
proved by the board on the recon-
mendation of its executive commit
tee. Mr.. Patterson will be retained
as president of the college until the
plan for q directorate is perfected,
with the understanding that he will,
with the approval of the executive
committee, have the authority to
work out the details of the director
ate form of administration and ulti-
mately be appointed chairman or pres
ident of the directorate.
The executive committee, through
Mr. H. H. Holzapfel, Of Hagerstown,
its chairman, made the following state
ment regarding its action;
I'VE have endeavored to make a
study of this proposition with view
to seeing how this form of admin
istration would affect the various in
terests which the institution aims to
serve, and have gotten the attitude
and opinion of individuals and farm
ers' organizations to as great an ex-
tent as possible. Our recommends
tions were based on what we believe
will be best, not only for the present,
but also for the future, of the Agri-
cultural College"

STATE TAX APPEALS HEARD.
Harrington And Vandiver Sit With
New Commission.

Comptroller Harrington and State
Treasurer vandiver sat with the State
Tax Commission, as board of ap-
peals, to decide a number of appeals
from corporations, from the assess
ments made by former Tax Commits
sioner Buchanan Schley.
Under the old law appeals from the
valuations made by the Tax Commits
sioner were to the Commissioner the
Comptroller and the Treasurer, sitting
together as a board of appeals. The
law which created the Tax Commission
in place of the single Commissioner is
ambiguous as to whether this board
of appeals is still In existence or
whether the appeals are to the COM
mission alone. AS to the old cases,
however the former practice was
adopted
The board passed upon 26 appeal
and expects to clear the docket of
the old cases at session to be held
on January 6. All corporations will
as usual be reassessed for next year,
this being done in future by the Tax
Commission.

Field Day a Big Success.

The Mineral Point Field Day. held on
J Tuesday of this week, was simply a
big, O-be- joyful affair. The weather
was ideal, and SO were the people who
came long distances from every section,
and so well did they enjoy themselves
in our midst that they remained our
guests far into the night.
Because of the pushing spirit and lib
crafty behind this day but reaently es-
tablished in Mineral Point it has already
been recognized as the leader of its
kind in southwestern Wisconsin.
Time will not permit as complete
report in this issue as the doings de-
serve. We can say, however, that the
races brought OFT good speedy horses
and that the contests aroused excite
ment. Results in detail are not in OPP
possession at this writing, but it is ex-
pected the secretary win furnish the
same complete for next week.
In commenting on the two games of
base ball much praise can be utilized
The first was between the Linden and
Waldwick clubs and resulted in favor
of the latter after most stubborn
contest score to 2. For the second
game clubs from Mineral Point and
Mii.lin were lined up against each other.
1t proved ''corking" struggle for six
innings, neither nine having made a
tally. In the seventh, however, the
local boys got two marks TO their cred
it ssl another in the eighth, while they
succeeded in holding their opponents
from crossing the coveted goal. Thus
ended the game. TO o. They were
splendid contests and clean sportsman
ship prevailed throughout.
For any one to look for better wealth
or, better sports or more social time
would be unreasonable.
