WeIIinaton's Goodness.

The Duke of Wellington was one
day sitting at his library table when
the door opened and without any an
nouncement in stalked a figure Of sin
gularly Ill omen.
'Who are your" asked the duke in
his short and dry manner, looking up
without the slightest change of coun-

The duke then went on with his cor
respondence. The maniac, appalled,
probably by the stern, immovable old
gentleman, backed out of the room and

Sugar and Tariff.

The annual roar is being made by
the Republican Stalwart press of
the state against tariff and sugar.
Chippewa Falls is receiving the
usual publicity because the factory
was closed in 1914 and the cry is
raised that the industry is being
wiped out because of the tariff law.
The campaign drool of the interests
is evidently left standing" in some
offices and the date line changed as
the article is run in its proper order.
The Chippewa Falls factory was
closed BEFORE the Underwood tariff
went into effect. The announce
ment was made BEFORE the seized
ules we're known. But the law was
passed just the same. And the
result? War broke out in Europe
and the price of sugar scared. 1914
was d wonderful growing year for
beets and 1,446, 802,OO pounds of
sugar were manufactured in the
United States, the banner year
since the industry was established
The beet sugar manufacturers who
operated made more money than
ever before. Now the factories
"closed because of the tariff law
are being opened because of the
war" Can you beat it F?
Of course there is lot of bunk
being peddled about eff it hadn' t
been for the war the industry would
have been ruined" At the same
time sugar beet companies are as
surfing possible stock purchasers
that they can make money without
tariff. Indeed they can make
money, and the line OF political bluff
and bunk they hand out is tiresome.
This country imported 5,42O, OOO,O 600
pounds of sugar last year. Grant
ing the tariff law did affect the
industry do you want to pay a tax
on four out of every five pounds of
sugar you buy in order that priv
LEGGED few may pile up excessive
profits? To our mind protection is
responsible for enough swollen for
tunes and infant industries that
have grown into unruly children

their parents.-Chippewa Falls In

Trick of the Lemon Growers.

By an interesting yet simple method
two crops of lemons are obtained in
Sicily during the year, though the Sec
ond Is in every way inferior. The
abnormal fruit Is known as the Yer
deli lemon and Is marketed during the
summer months. The Verdelli lemon.
green in color, grows contemporaneous-
" on the same trees with the ordinary
or yellow lemon of commerce and is
obtained by the following method: The
lemon tree, which flowers in April, is
kept without water from that period
until July, when the roots are heavily
flooded for time. This results in
second set of blossoms, from which
will come the Verdelli lemons. The
ordinary lemon crop is picked in the
months beginning with October, but
the Verdelli lemons do not mature
until the next May.-Argonaut.

Story of a Bunch of KEYS.

After Mary, queen Of Scots, had sue
ceeded in effecting her escape from the
grim old fortress Of Lochleven her de-
liverer, William Douglas, threw the
keys which had brought her her free
dom into the waters of the lake. There
they lay till the parching summer of
1905, when a boy named William
Honeyman, while strolling on its
banks, picked up bunch of five keys
of antique workmanship fastened by
an iron ring. These the boy carried
to the parish schoolmaster. who for
warded them to the Earl of Morton,
hereditary keeper of Lochleven castle,
near Edinburgh, where they still re-
main. They are without doubt the
old keys which William Douglas threw
into the loch on the eventful night
when the queen escaped, only to be
taken again and consigned to life long

Henner was a very keen critic and
had clever way of showing his dis

the world over, was very fond of paint

GARDEN CITIES REDUCE
ANNUAL DEATH RATES
Benefits Of Good City Planning Accrue

Smith Of the University Of Wisconsin.
''1'he benefits Of good city planning
accrue most to the small towns said
Professor Smith 1.-The town that starts
to plan when it is still small will have
to expend less in tearing down and as
it grows will constantly reap more and
more" r : .
Students of city planning at the uni
versity have been collecting data ON
Wisconsin cities and in several cases
will show how much money the city
would save by starting now. Madison
will be used as the bad example of a
city which when it wakes up to the
economic Importance of the movement
will have started too late to get the
full benefit of good city planning with
out excessive cost.
1.-THE annual death rate Of children
less than two years Of age in Munich
before city planning was started was
$40 per thousand" continued Professor
Smith. AFTER the city had been prop
erly replanned this rate dropped to 249
per thousand. The death rate of chill
dren between two and five years Of age
was reduced from fifty-two to sixteen
per thousand
