alks With Boys.

We started to write our own
'Talks with the Boys" but finding
something better along the same
line from another's pen, we have
concluded to adopt it, as it con-
tains some of the best and most
engaging suggestions that can be
placed before the mind of a boy;
so you can read and be instructed
by the following article from the
pen of j. L. Harbour, as he writes
in the Sunday School Visitor
There is no other way, if you read
it, but to be benefited. Mr.. Har-
bour says:
"Are you in earnest? Seize this
very minute;
What you can do, or dream you can,
begin it."
Lots of good advice iu that, boys.
Nothing is more necessary than
that boy should be in earnest.
The half hearted boy who does
all of his work in half-hearted
way is foredoomed to failure in
life. It is great advantage to be
in dead earnest and it is not only
an advantage, but necessity to
know what your talents are. So
many young fellows start out in
life overestimating their abilities.
They try to enter upon careers for
which they are unified. This is
why there are so many lawyers who
should be doing some kind of man
ual labor, 80 many ministers who
would be better engaged in bust.
ness or even saving wood than in
trying to preach, SO many profess
sional men of all kinds who have
mistaken their calling. But this
is certain: There is place in the
world for every person born into
it. The thing is to discover the
place for which you are best adap-
ted. I think that this is true in
particular of America. As wise
man as the philosopher Emerson
said that America was another

MYSTERY REGARDING RELIC
Museum Has Confederate Banner
That Disappeared in Civil War
After 1t Was Hid.

Who can supply the missing links
in the story that surrounds the blue
silk banner of the Pelican Rifles in
the Historical museum at Madison? is
the question Wisconsin historians
wish answered.
About a year ago the museum re-
ceiyed from President Evans Of Ri.
pom college a tattered banner with
the legends: pelican Rifles, Southern
Rights Inviolate" This banner had
been found lying on a shelf in col
lege building. No one about the col.
lege knew anything of its history
Away back in 80 it was the banner
of a Sunday soldier company" the
Pelican Rifles of Baton Rouge, La.
When the war proke out this COM
pany became Company K, Third
Louisiana infantry, and carried the
banner, unfurled, through the Mis-
souri, and Arkansas campaign Of 81
and early '62 AS it was useless in
active service, three officers Of the
company took it to a book store in
Memphis and stored it upon the top
of the cornice above the shelving in
the second story of the building.
The treasured banner had disap.
peared when the war closed and all
search for it was futile.

ADMINISTRATION Is BLOCKED
Measures Pushed by Governor Defeat
ed in Legislature.


Several of the largest measures
pending before this legislature were
acted upon last week. The admins
tration was unable at all points to put
through its program. The water
power bill, an administration measure,
was so amended in the assembly as to
practically re-enact the law which the
bill proposed to repeal.
The bill recognizing the state tax
commission was defeated in the house
by a close vote, but reconsideration
has been asked. The central board
of education plan for all state educa-
tional institutions passed the assem-
bly, without trouble.
Both houses passed the Stemper
bill, as amended, legalizing many sa
looms ruled out by the supreme courts
construction Of the Baker law, and it
is up to the governor. Woman suf-
frage advocates won victory in the
senate, a bill for a statewide refer
endum on the subject being engross
ed, 16 to Is. On final passage the out
come is in doubt
The senate concurred in a bill re-
pealing an appropriation of $4,000
for a mems dormitory at the univer-
sity, a retrenchment measure.
There is little possibility Of adjourn
ment before July Is.

MOST CROPS ARE THRIVING
Corn and Potatoes Have Setback Due
to Recent Rains.

to Recent Rains.
Encouraging crop prospects are re-
ported by the state board of agricul-
ture, following abundant rains of the
past month. Corn and potatoes have
not been helped, however, owing to
continued dearth of sunshine
"The abundance of rainfall during
the month of May the May crop re-
port says" has materially improved
meadows and pastures. The present
outlook for the various grains is also
promising. The cold, wet weather has
retarded corn and potato planting and
many farmers are replanting early
corn. The soil is saturated with water
an essential condition-and with
warm weather crops will flourish.
Owing to recent weather conditions,
it is difficult to predict the fruit crop.
Several hard frosts did considerable
damage to fruits, particularly in the
northern section of the state, the esti-
mated percentage of damage for the
entire state being 14.6 per cent.
