Yet in spite of this exacting severity
he was unexpectedly lenient when a
large occasion demanded it.
One day when the regiment was FIR

He did not stop the firing, but when
the number of rounds ordered had been
completed he rode up to the line and
said
Boys, there's bad shot in the
Tenth. He nearly shot. my trumpeter.
and what should 1 have said to the
boys mother? don't want to know
the blackguard's name. The officers
will not examine the mems pouches
This was on the eve Of a campaign.
and before action the senior major
came to him and said: Don't put your
self in front of the regiment tomorrow,
sir. You know there are always one
or two bad men in a regiment
THANK you. major" was the reply
Its very kind Of you. might have
given you STEP"
When the Tenth was drawn up for
the final advance he put himself at its
head and called:
Boys. I'm tould We name to shoot
me today. Take my advice and don't
shoot Tom Franks until the ighting's
done, for ye won't find a better man to
lade ye!' o..:
The regiment answered with a cheer
and carried the Sikh batteries with the
bayonet rather than run the risk of
shooting the beloved old fire eater at
their head.-Washington Star

MIGHTY POWER OF LOVE
Great Truth in Words Which Emer-
son Is Put on Record as
Having Spoken.

It was Emerson who said can &C.
ceptance of the sentiment of love
throughout ChristendOm for a season,
would bring the felon and the outcast
to our side in tears, with the devotion
of his faculties to our service. Love
would put a new face on this weary
old world, in which we dwell IS pa
CANS and enemies too long, and 1t
would warm the heart to see how fast
the vain diplomacy of statesmen, the
impotence of armies and navies and
lines of defense, would be superseded
by this unarmed child" Alas that
the sentiment has not been accepted,
but instead the world and the indi-
vidual have been laying their plans,
and directing their action, by calcu-
lation of chances which, Of course,
can be no bigger than the human
mind that does the calculating. That
love has not been tried is proved
by the collapse of commercial civil
cation, but the things of commerce
and of calculation perish, while the
sentiment of love endures, because it
is of God, and being Of God, Is sure
in the end to triumph.-Universalist

To Keep Record of Appropriations.

Close tab is to be kept on the ex-
department, according to plan out
lined by Governor Philip.
The statement after explaining how;
the $4,000 appropriation for ascertain
ing the financial condition of the state
at the end Of each year had mad.
vertently been repealed, says:
1T is my purpose to open a set OF,
books crediting to every board or de-,
partment the sum which each is au-
thorized to receive and which is
available for the total expenses of the
department. An itemiZed statement
of all expenditures is to be furnished
monthly by each board or depart
ment. This will be charged back
against the fund credited. The bal
ance remaining in the fund will at all
times be readily determined. 1t is my
purpose to see that state finances
are conducted in the same manner as
a well-regulated business institution
would conduct it's affairs.
1t is the further purpose to have
prepared for the next legislature a
budget which will give to the mem
bers a comprehensive statement of
state financial matters that have pre-
viously been made by departments,
but likewise the reason why requests
are made for appropriations. In this
way, it is believed, aid will be given
to the finance committee and to the
members Of the legislature which will
prove invaluable in determining not
only the advisability but necessity of
making appropriations. This work
is to be carried on by Speaker L. c.
Whittet in connection with the board
of public affairs"

6O,5I7 AUTOS IN
STATE ON MAY IS
Figures Show a Big Increase
Over Last Year.
356 MAKES ARE REPRESENTED
Total Valuation of Cars Used During
1915 in Wisconsin Amounts to
More Than $4,000, ooo-Fords
in the Majority.

Madison tabulatiOn has just
been completed by H. " COWles' su-
pervisor of assessments, showing the
numbers and values Of automobiles
in the state and county for the pur-
pose of making the state and county
equalization of this class of property
a few side-lights on the automo-
bile assessment is interesting. The
number of cars registered from Jan
nary to May Is, 1915, is used as a
basis for the number in the state.
The secretary of states records show
that in 1914 there were 38,031 auto
mobiles registered in this period. In
1915 there were 60,517 registered, an
increase of 59.11 per cent In 1914
One-half of the 1914 list price
amounted to $685. per car for the
state as whole. In 1915 one-half
Of the list price amounted to $479,
showing the effect Of the general de-
crease in the price Of automobiles in
the state. total valuation Of the
38,031 cars in 1914 as used by the
state amounted to $24161,973 while
the valuation of the 60,517 cars in
1915 amounts to $28,986,305. In 9TH
er words the value of automobiles
in the state increased only 20 per cent
while the numbers increased SO per
cent
1t is interesting to compare the in
crease or decrease of the various
makes.
There are in all $50 makes Of auto
mobiles registered in the state of
Wisconsin. OF this number 217 makes
are represented by less than ten cars
in the entire state. This means that
81 per cent OF the various makes are
represented by less than 10 cars. Sew
enteen makes are represented by 500
cars and over and represent 70 per
cent of the total cars. OF these IL
the Ford comes first with 1926; the
Buick second with 5,765, the Overland
third with 4,470, the Studebaker fourth
with 2,545 and the Maxwell fifth with
2,O74
1t is interesting to note that the
number of Fords i'll the state repre-
sent 1914 per cent of the total cars,
that the Buick represents 9.53 per
cent, the Overland 7.39 per cent, the
StudebaEer 421 per cent and the Max
well 3.43 per cent.
The last column of the table shows
the per cent of increase in the num-
Der from 1914 to 1915. The total of
the II makes above mentioned have
increased 691a per cent, while all the
other makes have increased about 20
per cent.
In Dane county 81 different makes
of automobiles appear on the secre-
tary of states list. OF this number
% makes represent SO per cent Of the
total There were 2,17O machines reg
istered up to May Is, 1915, Can in

Der the Fords have 1,271, Bucks 548,

per cent Of Fords in Dane county is
trifie greater than the average for the
state. 1854 per cent of the cars being

That there is no letup to the pur-
chase of cars is shown by the fact
that since May Is there have been 15,-
