5,ss7 State Hunting Permits.

The number of hunting licenses is
sued in wisconsin so far this season
is about 10 per cent less than for the
similar period last year. according to
partial returns of county clerks re-
ceived By the state conservation com.
mission. In Milwaukee county 1.424
hunting licenses were issued in August
and 4.463 in September. against 1,6eS
in August and $3.50 in September of
1904. The reduction in the number of
licenses this year is attributed to un-
favorable hunting weather and increas-
ing restrictions.

Inspection Soon to Be in Effect.

Inspection oOOn 10 DC III CHCCIs
State inspection of stationary boil
ers soon will be an actually in Wis
consin. Three years ago the industrial
commission made beginning in this
important work and before long it will
adopt the entire set of rules to- be
known as the Wisconsin boiler code.
This code has been drawn up and will
be adopted and put into force upon di
rection from the legislature. The plan
is to utilize existing machinery for in
spections.
Insurance company inspectors, for
example, will continue to inspect boil
ers which are insured. They will re.
port to the commission and there will
be no charge to the owner other than
the customary premium paid to the in.
surer. The commissions inspectors
will inspect only those boilers outside
of Milwaukee which are not insured.
This is expected to eliminate the dan.
ger of disastrous explosions.
The industrial commission has de-
pended upon the advice of a special
committee of boiler experts. the mem.
bers of which are Theodore Vilter.

They do the very best they can. and everyone. l know has a man some where or other in the family The brunette's voice was calm, but firm. Jack is a Republican and l am a Democrat. How can he represent me. when he can cast only one vote?" she inquired sternly. For a few minutes the little blonde sat very silent. Then she spoke Why.

BENEFITS FROM GOOD ROADS
Increase Value Of Every Acre of Land Adjoinins-correet Principles
 Being Followed.

Slowly but surely farmers are everywhere coming to the realization that good roads increase the value of them, and that the best of land will be hard to sell if it can be reached only through heavy, muddy roads the greater portion of the year. In so far as our section (northern Indiana) is concerned. the progress in making good roads has been quite marked during the last five years, says a writer in Farmers Review. As soon as 1t was announced that the Lincoln highway would have its course through our section. the value of farms lying along and near this course increased to quite a degree, in some instances as much as 25 per cent.
 It is really astonishing how foolishly the methods of road making were for merly carried on. Farmers had fallen into a habit of working on the roads in very different way from what they looked as If some feared they might do more work than their neighbors- hence they were determined to do less Sometimes, in fact nearly always, the most incompetent man in the district was chosen supervisor. and he often had great difficulty in prevailing upon the farmers to do enough work to en- able him to make proper returns to the commissioners.
 Another matter quite noticeable in those days was that in making roads. all principles of good road making were as a rule violated. No effort was made to drain the roadway. It was simply thrown up little higher than the roadsides so that when the heavy rains came the water, instead of run ming of, would settle into the depres. sions made by the wagon wheels and remain there until slowly evaporated, the ruts in the meantime growing deeper and deeper. The farmers them selves despised the roads heartily.
 As to materials for road making, it was the almost universal rule to take that most convenient. If it happened to be good gravel, well and good, but if, as in large majority of cases, it happened to be sand, it was used just the same.
 But in these days such roads will no longer be tolerated. We have in northern Indiana any number of good gravel beds and from these gravel is drawn and spread upon the roadbed to a good depth. In the course of a short time it is possible with such good ma

REALLY NOT A FAIR BET
Young Man Made Wager Which It Was Almost Impossible for
 Him to Lose.

There was no sound except the faint and regular tick of a watch. Other wise silence and gloom pervaded the elegantly furnished drawing-room.
 In one chair sat beautiful girl. her lips tightly closed. her eyes star ing straight before her and her every muscle tense with a powerful effort of self-control In another sat a young man whose face expressed se- riousness but confidence. In his hand he held an open watch which he ob- served closely, only raising his eyes now and then to glance al the beauti- ful girl, who seemed to be in such agony.
 Five seconds. ten. fifteen. twenty seconds passed. The position of neither the young man nor beautiful girl had changed.
 Suddenly her eyes sleamed with wild light: she claspeI her hands con vulsively. and
 'I must speak" burst from her bloodless lips.
 "Twenty-four seconds said the young man. as he closed the watch and put it back into his pocket. You jose the pair of gloves by exactly six seconds"
 He had bet on a sure thing.

BaQqina the Chain.

Tire chains when used at this time Of year usually become so dirty that handling in order to replace them into the burlap or canvas sack is unpleas- ant A good method is to grasp them with the thumb and forefinger only and hang the chains to a hook-protrud- ing part of the car. Then sip the bag over the chains from underneath, thus avoiding handling. If the top is down it is possible to use the top iron on the front seat for this purpose. Usu- ally, however. when one needs chains it is raining and the top is up.

GET TO KNOW YOUR GOODS
Method by Which One Man "Mace Good" May Be Recommended to
 All Saesmcn.

Inquisitiveness is not generally re- sarded as an admirable trait. Yet when inquisitiveness is properly di- rected, it is one of the most useful habits of mind. A story illustrating this point is told by John J. Arnold. vice-president of the First National bank of Chicago. In talk to en- ployees of the members of the Chi cago Association of Commerce he re lated the experience of a young man he had known as a boy in wholesale house in Chicago, where the latter started his career as a helper to a salesman.
 He got hold of certain classes of goods" MT. Arnold said. The names appealed to him. He set to work and studied the history of that particular fabric. He got the name of the fac tory He wrote to the factory in Eng land and asked for particulars as to the institution. He studied that in stitution from one end 10 the other and he studied all of the fabrics, all of the different things that went to make up that particular piece of goods. and in that way he analysed every piece of goods that came into h.s hands. He was not satisfied mere ly to take the goods and hand them out, but he wanted to know what he was handing out. The result is, to- day he is one of the most expert buy CTS in this city, iL one of the greatest wholesale houses. Those are the things that count. Get down to a study of the inside workings of the thing that you are handling"

Front Wheel Attainment.

because front tires wear out more quickly than the rear tires. The fact is that front tires should last consid- erably longer than the rear tires, in that they are relieved of driving strains Excessive wear on front tires is more generally due to misalignment of the front wheels. Drivers forget that they often hit the curb with the front wheels, and in this manner throw them out of alignment. The front wheels should have slight foregather and a slight undergather. These di- mensions should be checked frequent ly if one wishes to obtain best results from his tires.
