THE YELLOW MONSTER

TT Is reliably reported from the Orient that China
is adopting earnest and practical measures to
raise, equip and train huge army
II one of the psychological effects of the Euro
pean war Is to Undue China with the war spirit, to
convert that patient, Flooding and peaceful race
into a military nation in the real sense, all Europe
will rue the day when the first gun in this war was
fired.
The Chinese are neither cowardly nor I'M
patriotic. They simply need capable leaders and
modern weapons to convert them into formidable
foes Now steps are being taken to found mill
tary training academy similar to West Point.
This war will very likely leave China on par
financially, with any European country and in a
position to purchase munitions in abundance China
has population of 42o,ooo,ooo people. With the
crafty japanese to abet and guide it, and the Japa-
nese navy to actively aid it, Chinese army will
prove an awful menace to Europe.
II may transpre that Europe has unloosed a
monster that il can never again enchain.

Buy a Building

Atameeting of the Odd Fellows
lodge held at their lodge rooms
last evening it was voted to buy
the Nelson building on the corner
of Bayfield, street and Central
avenue. The negotiations have
been carried on for some time
between the owner and the
lodge and as soon as the neces-
sary papers can be made out the
deal will be consumated.
1t is the intention of the Odd
Fellows to make no improve
ments on the building for some
little time. When work is start
ed the upper floor of the building
will be remodeled into a fine
lodge room and the lower part of
the building will probably be
rented out for store purposes.
The Odd Fellows lodge is one
of the thrifty lodges of our city
and we are glad to note that they
have arranged for. a beautiful
home for the order.

How Napoleon Dressed.

Napoleon was always simple in his
dress and generally wore the uniform
Of his own guard. He was Clearly
rather from habit than from liking for
cleanliness. He bathed often-some-
times in the middle Of the night-be-
cause he thought the practice good for
his health. But, apart from this, the
precipitation with which he did every
thing did not admit of his clothes
being put on carefully. and on gala
days and full dress occasions his serv-
ants were obliged to consult togeth-
er as to when they might snatch mo-
ment to dress him.
He could not endure the wearing Of
ornaments. The slightest constraint
was insuppOrtable to him. He would
tear off or break anything that gave
him the least annoyance.-Memoirs Of
Nine. de Remusat.

Canadian Nonsense

"You want a coy home, a
free life and sufficient income.
You want education for your
children and some pleasure for
your wife. You want independ'
ence. Your burden has been
heavy and your farm has mt
paid. You work hard and are
discouraged. You require a
change" etc. etc.
So says Canada to the Wlscon-
sin farmer. Such bunk many
weekies are forced to print be-
cause Of contracts between
Canada and publishing concerns
which supply "patent insides"
for country newspapers. But
this from the report OF the
Canadian Government Agent for
Wisconsin to the Canadian SUI
perintendent of I'm migration at
Ottawa. is suggestive:
SIN the southern or older
parts of Wisconsin | find Less
desire than formerly to move
west. This is accounted for by
the fact that dairying, which is
the chief business of this dis.
trict, has been very profitable
during the past two or three
years and is getting better every
year"
Getting better every year!'
We believe it is and the industry
only nicely started. And there's
an empire yet to be developed
within the state. The Wiscon-
sin farmer never was m ore
prosperous and the prospect for
future development never so
bright as at this time.

Spanish lads have a game which they
call "Hobbybull." and it has something

after dinner, 1t Is of interest to note.
Is justified in large number OF cases
by the fact of its stimulating effect
upon the vital centers. and it is said
to serve to some extent as an antidote

1t Is commonly claimed to remove

many subjects it produces drowsiness.
but this ia usually followed by mark
ed wakefulness. The practice of drink.
Ing coffee after a meal for the sake OF

much to be said In its favor d1etet-

There is no reason for supposing that

Both Injured.

A snow battle which started in
a friendly manner ended dis
asterously for two boys of our
city Monday afternoon. After
battling for some time one boy
chased the other into a wood
shed and in his endeavor to
lodge his opponent from the
woodshed an axe was used to
pry open the door. In the mix
up one boy had his finger nearly
severed off. He then grabbed a
scythe blade and attacked his
opponent, striking him over the
head, cutting a long cash.
The battle ended with both
boys calling a doctor to DIRE
their wounds.
