SHE WAS A TRUE WIFE.
The Story of Crisis and the Way II
Was Happily Handled.

The Story of Crisis and the Way II
Was Happily Handled.
A woman has just told us of what
she did the night her young husband
found himself bankrupt. His factory
was closed, he had lost all he owned
plus a good deal more-and, as he
locked at it, life was about at an end.
He reflected that he had taken his
wife from happy and charming home
and that he had brought disgrace and
poverty On her. 1t occurred to him
that well placed bullet might be the
best all round solution of his Difficult
ties.
His wife, at home, made a poignant
surmise as to what he was thinking.
Suddenly it occurred to her that here
was a chance for team work-an op-
rortunity to show what being a wife
really meant. She prepared a de.
licious little dinner, she made her home
as inviting as she could, and she ar
rayed herself in her most becoming
dress.
Her husband returned, not to a dis
heveled and sobbing woman, to
neglected house and a drama of dis
aster, but to home where everything
spoke of resolution, of continuity, of
expectation. The fire on his hearth.
his simple, we'll cooked dinner. the
courageous eyes of his attractive wife,
restored him to a true sense Of values
He was able amid all his confusion of
purpose and torment of realization, to
see his failure as only retrievable
episode in his life.
He is now successful manufacturer,
his debts are paid and he has a happy
home with a son and a daughter in it.
He was saved from being suicide by
the fact that woman was sportsman
like at the right moment. - Golfers

A TABLE OF LOGARITHMs.
Its Use In Working Out Complex
Mathematical Problems.

A logarithm is an exponent, and an
exponent Is a number showing how
many times another number has been
used in any multiplication. Ten times
10 equals 100. 1t was used twice, and
its exponent is 2. Ten cubed equals
1000, and it's exponent is 3; while 10
to exponent equals 10000, and so on
out toward infinity. But suppose that
we wish to use 10, say ~ times or 13s
times instead of twice. Then the ex-
ponent must be computed, and expo
nents thus computed are always print
ed in tables.

The Senate Barber Shop.

Here's an odd thing about the Unit
ed States senate barber shop: Although
the number of senators has hardly in
creased at all, the number of shaves
has increased at surprising rate in
recent years. The reason. is simply
that the senate is now inhabited large
Iy by comparatively young men with
smooth faces or wearing mustaches at
most, and they are obliged to get
shaved every little while. whereas the
old style senator with riot of whisk-
ers never had occasion to visit barber
shop except every few months to get
his hair trimmed. Enquirer,

THE STATE SCHOOL AID is CUT
Educational Institutions Fail to Get
Full Amount, Owing to Action
of Legislature.

Special aid to Minnesonta public
schools this year is being paid on a
basis Of 80 per cent of the amount
the schools are really entitled to.
The fact that the 1915 legislature, in
answer to popular clamor, held down
it's appropriations resulted in the
cut.
These facts were brought out in a
statement by C.>G. Schultz, state sup
erintendent of education yesterday.
He said the schools should get
$2,163,0O0, but must bow to legislat-
i've economy and accept S1,740,771.
This amount will be divided among
1895 schools.
Ramsey county will receive $16,800
as it's share of the purse contributed
by the state to foster better educa-
ton. Six high schools, seven, semi
graded schools and twenty-five rural
schools will be aided by the state.
St. Louis county schools are en-
titled to the largest amount of aid of
any of the counties, and will obtain
sos, $40 from Walter j. Smith, state
treasurer. Ten counties are entitled
to more than $4,000. They are Cass,
Itasca, Hennepin, Marshall, Otter
Tail, Pine, Polk, st. Louis, Stearns
and Wright.
The amount of annual grants to
schools in the last five years follow:
1911, S1,359,991; 1912: $1,379, POI
1913, $1,551 ,522; 1914: $11,9s4,576;
1915: $91, 740,771.
Five years ago there were 4,195
schools and departments receiving
aid, now there are 1906.
Payment of the large amount of
special aid to the schools means that
the state must go into the market
and borrow money each year.
Walter J. Smith, state treasurer,
recently borrowed $12,000,O0O with
which to pay this aid and run the
affairs of the state until March, when
revenue from railroad and telephone
company taxes will be coming in.

ReveIs In Variety.

Owing to the variety of uses to
lar unit of measurement employed by
the quarrymen. the stone being sold by
the cubic yard, cubic foot, ton. cord,
perch, rod square foot, square yard,
square, etc. Building and monumental
stone, especially the dressed product,
is usually sold by the cubic foot or the
cubic yard, although this unit varies
with the class of stone and with the
locality; a large quantity of rough
stone is sold by the perch, cord or
ton.
Bubble and riprap, including stone
for such heavy masonry as breakWater
and jetty work. are generally sold by
the cord or ton. FluXing stone and
stone for chemical use-as for alkali
works, sugar factories, carbonic acid
plants and paper mills-are sold by
the long ton. Flagstone and curbstone
are sold by the square yard or the
square foot, the thickness being vari
able and dependent on the orders re-
ceived. Granite paving blocks are sold
invariably by number. but the blocks
are not of uniform size, the value de
pending on the size Of the block and
the labor necessary to cut into the
shape desired Other paving material
is sold by various units, such as ton
or cubic yard.
Crushed stone is usually sold by the
cubic yard or ton. the short ton be-
ing more generally used. The weight
of a cubic yard Of crushed stone varies
from 1890 to 5000 pounds, the average
weight being about $500 pounds. In
certain localities crushed stone is sold
by the square" of 100 square feet by

SAUK CENTRE FINDS SELF
High School Football Team Walk All
Over Appleton by Score of SIS
to 0 in Saturdays Game.

Sank Centres High School football
team found themselves last Saturday
and won from Appleton team in a lop-
sided game which resulted in a $50
score.
Sank Centre started out with Fish
a center, Lembke and Bisel, guards,
Allen and Wagner tackles, Lee and c.
Pangburn ends, Farr and E. Pangburn
,halfbacks, Hanson fullback, and Sc
gers a quarterback. At the end of the
first quarter Sank Centre had piled
up 10 points by means of three touch
downs and kicking goal once. When
play was resumed "Stub" Lyman, who
just recently returned from farm
in North Dakota and is seemingly as
hard as nails, took Fairs place as one
of the halls; he pulled off several
corking plays during the balance of
the game. E. Pangburn and Lyman
were most consistent ground gamers
for the locals, but the ends, half and
quarter carried the ball for gains at
times. Sank Centre worked several
criss-cross and trick plays but the
best trick play of the game was pulled
by Appleton in the second quarter and
the ball was advanced good distance
down the field only to be lost on
downs.
A unique feature of the game and
one that is very unusual occurred In
the third quarter, when Appleton re-
covered the ball on her own eight yard
line only to be showed back over the
goal line. The Appleton kicker got
int action for punt in the next play
but as the ball was directly in the
center of the goal posts and several
wards back of them when delivered to
to the punter, when kicked 1t struck
the cross bar and bounded back, APP
pleton falling on it for safety which
gave Sank Centre two points and the
ball was put in play on Appleton's
20 ward line. Another feature was
when Dewey O'Gara, who was sub
stituted for E. Pangburn in the last
quarter, carrying the ball in a crisis
cross trick play, hit Appleton's big
gest and best" and knocked him cold
for a few minutes. The spectators
surmised that Dewey kicked the man
in the head with the tennis shoes he
wore. The game ended after Sank
Centre had, made eight touchdowns,
kicked goal five times and received
two points on the safety, amounting
in all to SIS points.
Appleton best work was done by
their quarterback but he was taken
sick and retired at the end of the
first half. The visitors came 80 miles
over three different lines of roads,
staying over night. at one of the towns
along the road each way in order to
get the game with Sank Centre. We
understand that they had an idea they
were bidders for the state champion
ship. Their bubble went bump Sat
urday.

McTAGGART RIDES WINNERS
Celebrates His First Racing Since
Suburban Handicap.

NEW YORK, July 20.-Tommy Nc
Taggart made his temperance in the
saddle yesterday for the first time since
his accident in the Suburban Handi-
cap, when Morse King, on which he had
the mount, was thrown and killed. He
characterized his temperance by win
ming the two feature races Of the Bel
mont Park card. the Arrow Stakes at
six furlongs. in which Etruscan dupli-
Gated his victory of Saturday at the
same distance, and the Bronxville Han
dicap at a mile and a sixteenth, in
which Gamer at last turned out a win
ming race to his credit. Both horses
are the property of the Greentree
stable.
The McTaggart family was very much
to the fore, for the younger of the
brothers, Johnny, won the opening dash
with Capra and the last race with
Grasp, both from the stable of James
Butler, president of the Empire City
Association, which is conducting the
races at Belmont Park. Both Of Tom
my's mounts were favorites, but john
ny put over a seven-to-one shot in
Capra and a two-to-one favorite in
Grasp. Dryad. which should have been
more tenderly regarded than he was on
the strength of his last two races, won
the fifth race from the biggest field of
the season-seventeen starters-with
the rich price of 20 to l against him,
principally because he had an unfash-
ionable jockey, Mink. in the saddle.
