w. Mcleod of this city has been

instrument; it describes accept
ance, and the various forms and
the effect of Endorsement; it
shows the contract relation and
the resulting rights and aliabili-
ties Of acceptor or maker, OF
drawer and endorser, and Of the
other possible parties to a
negotiable instrument; it ex-
PLANES warranties and the pro-
per method Of presentment for
acceptance and payment; and

honor, discharge, alteration, and
the special rules pertaining to
checks.
The course does not prepare
students for the bar examinations
nor 10 it the purpose of the course
to make every business man his
own lawyer. There are however
many simple principles of the
law Of commercial paper that
every business man should know
principles that he must. apply in
his everyday transactions, and
which should be part of his
working equipment. These
principles are taught in this
course. The language is simple
and non-technical, and the
material was prepared especially
for the purpose of presenting
the important principles of this
branch of business law to the
business men and women of
Wisconsin.

Wild Horses.

True wild horses, intractable. and
terrified in mans presence, have been
the subject of some interesting ex-
periments. It was long believed that
true wild horses with unbroken wild
ancestry were extinct, but the animals
discovered by Prtevalski in the Cobb
desert, in Asia, have been pronounced
by Russian naturalists wild horses Of
a distinct kind, with no relationship
to the ass. A few years ago about
thirty Of the horses were captured.
They were mere colts. most of which
have grown to maturity In Russia, but
a few were taken to the estate of the
duke Of Bedford in England. They
have developed from their shaggy and
awkward youth into animals of good
appearance. They have some resem.
blance to the domestic horse, with the
same neigh and frightened snort, but
all attempts to tame them and make
them useful have failed, and they are
still badly frightened when any per.
son comes within several rods of
them. Efforts Of the Mongolians to
tame the horses have been equally un.
successful.

IT is wonderful what miracles of i'm.
i provement in lookx ian be brought
about by means of the couture and its
decorations. Only beautiful and au-
!dacious youth can afford to wear
plain, severe styles of hairdressing.
Waves that mitigate the austerity of
straight lines, curls which suggest
femininity, are almost invariably be-
coming. And aside from becomingness,
a well.groomed appearance (more EVIL
dent in the couture than anywhere)
has compelling charm in itself.
When the best and most tasteful of
hair ornaments are worn, to set of the
chic couture. a chance is given for the
exercise Of individual taste. There are
many pretty hair ornaments, unpreten.
tious and elegant, that any clever
woman can fashion for herself. Near
ly all Of the new ones are made of
strands of small rhinestones, used in
single or double bands. about the head,
in the manner of Greek bands. But
with them flowers, feathers. or velvet
ornaments are used.
Two of the best designs are shown
here and one hardly needs more than
the picture to be able to go about
copying them. One consists of rhine
stone band sewed to fine silk-covered
wire which terminates in loop at
each end. A hairpin thrust through

NO wonder the devotees of motoring
~ are Drawing the coolest weather.
They may envelop themselves from
crown to toe in cold proof coats having
hoods attached made of the same ma
terial as the coat. The fur fabrics
that have had SO great vogue this
season have been developed in pat
terms especially suited to midwinter
motor coats. These pushes are used
also for lining coats of other fabrics,
and are as warm as skins.
Fetching and unusual is the coat of
leopard plush pictured here. The
youthful motorist looks as coy as a
kitten in it. 1t is long straight gar
ment of the simplest outlines, comfort
ably roomy. The sleeves and yoke are
cut In one, and the skirt part allows
plenty of room in walking.
A broadtail plush is used to make
deep plain cuffs. and as an inlay on a
small neckpiece that fastens about the
throat. The hood is close-fitting cap
with wide bonnetlike border turned
back at the front and trimmed with a
flat bow of broadtail. The coat is
double breasted, fastened with large
button at the top and in the front.
Smart coats for warmer climes are
made with more concessions to new
style features and allow themselves a
little frivolity of composition. Drop
Jokes and flaring skirts, not so long as
the figures, are noticeable among them.
1t is safe to predict that with things
military imposing themselves every
where else, the newly designed motor
coats for spring will reflect something
of military modes.
But to face the sterner requirements

Which goes to show that human. ma.
ture prefers. at times, to trust in the
unknown, rather than in that with
which we are familiar
But, when you come to think of 1t,
there is q responsibility dealing with
our own fortunes, and the fortunes of
those who will follow us in this life,
which does not permit US to always
follow our inclinations. We must
think for the future as well as for the
present.
We live in a community together
with a lot Of neighbors. We meet
them in connection with our everyday
affairs, and we have opinions that diff
fer with our neighbors. There is no
one subject in the whole world upon
which we all agree. therefore it is but
natural that we have many differences.
We can condone the differences Of
opinion and decline to enter into con-
troversies, or we can argue whenever
We have the chance, and engage in
constant strife.
Which is the best way to get along!
The man who argues all his life has
little time for other affairs.
The man who declines to become in.
volved in wordy discussions has plenty
of time to attend to his own business.
And In this world 1t is the man who
attends to his own business who pros.
pers.
This life is made up Of disputes and
arguments. You can argue with your
best friend until you become a pest
and an unwelcome visitor. You can
spend your time discussing the affairs
Of others until, no matter If you win
your arguments, you will discover that
you have made yourself unpopular.
Unpopularity is not an asset in the
business of life. It never paid divi-
dend. 1t never brought in any wages.
And 1t is strictly your business to
try to make the best of everything
in your community, to help create har-
mony, to boost" your home town all
the time and to help those who can
help you.
Harmony creates peace, and peace
engenders prosperity. Your town
wants peace and harmony, especially
between the people and the merchants.
1t is peace and harmony that make
business good-that add a value to
your own house and lot.
Envy walks hand in hand with NAL
ice down every village street, and
when this pair appears on the street
the white dove of peace futters into
a corner and hides.

these loops holds the band in place
and is concealed under a strand of
hair.
Fastened on the band at one side is
cluster of grayish blue full-blown
roses of velvet, with small sprays of
tiny rose foliage in sage green. One
might wear such subdued colors with
almost any costume. The sparkle of
the rhinestones gives life to the pretty
affair, and altogether its beauty makes
an instant appeal.
The second ornament is made of
narrow bias strip of cerise velxet,
hemmed in a very narrow hem at each
side, into which fine shirring wire
is run. 1t is mounted with rhinestones
supported by silk-covered wire, as in
the first ornament described. The vel.
vet terminates in long pointed ear,
outlined with strand of rhinestones.
Rhinestones are to be had set in tiny
bands. and sell at moderate price by
the yard in dry goods stores. Other
bead passementeries and strands of
pearl beads are used for making hair
ornaments, also narrow fancy ribbons
and braids. If in making the last orna.
ment described, bright green velvet
instead of cerise color, is used the
handsomest of decorations for white
hair is the result.

CARING FOR SWINE
IN COLD WEATHER
Good Time to Plan Forage Crops
for Next Summer-Feeding
Floor Is Urged.

A full diet Of corn without plenty
of water will quickly put the soundest
hogs to the bad.
Many people imagine that if they
give the pigs plenty of skim milk
they do not need water. Milk changes
to solid food almost the moment it
enters the pigs stomach and is, there
fore, not substitute for water.
It costs nothing to soak hard grain
in water, warm water, and when fed to
pigs its digestibility is increased.
It is a prevalent notion that hogs
cannot thrive except they have mud
hole in which to wallow. Nonsense!
Pigs thrive better on clean pasture.
clean floors and clean water than they
do in dirty surroundings.
During these cold days lay out q
plan for forage crops next summer.
Hogs suffer from lack of pasture in
the late summer as well as dairy cows.
Oats make fine ration for hogs. but

A feeding floor will save itself in

Brick makes a fairly good feeding

HIS CRITICISM WAS At FAULT
English General Had Much to Learn
Of the Geography Of the
United States.

The European has grown SO accus-
toned to sneering at the American for
his ignorance of European affairs,
especially since the outbreak of the
war, that we have grown to take the
snub submissively, with never a
thought of the even more gross ignor.
ance of things American on the part
of Europeans.
Yet that such ignorance is common
in Europe, even among the educated
and military classes, there is no doubt.
The elder Charles Francis Adams, who
was United States minister to Great
Britain during the Civil war; used to
tell the following experience with a
prominent Englishman:
Late in July, 1868, there being no
cable then laid under the Atlantic,
steamer from New York brought to
the American legation in London dis

burg and Lees repulse at Gettysburg
on the same day. A few evenings
later I held a reception In honor of
the double victory, inviting all the
prominent figures of English official
society.
Among the guests was Maj. Gen.
Garnet Wolseley, afterward command
er in chief Of the British army. After
congratulating me upon the dual sue
cess of the Union arms, he added:
yet think your generals made a
very serious blunder, Mr.. Adams"
I'm what respect?" asked, some
what mystified: for it had seemed to
me that Grant, at vicksburg, and
Meade. at Gettysburg. had done about
all there was to- be done.
"Why, in resting upon their arms"
explained General Wolseley. I'm or
der to make the two victories COM
plete, General Grant should have
Joined his forces with those of Meade
that night and. by daylight the next
morning, fallen upon the remnants of

Discard Small, rurban.

In Paris the leaders of fashion have
discarded the small turban hat for the
larger models of white satin. These
stunning hats appear in a wide vari-
ETY. of shapes, with gracefully rolling
brims or brims which flare more on
one side than the other. The favor
lite, however, is the wide, straight
brimmed sailor, smoothly covered
with white satin of good quality.
These are trimmed with simple bow
of white satin, the ends of which are
sometimes fringed. Fantasies of plu-
mage appear on few models, but the;
majority are simply trimmed with the
satin or MORE.
The crowns of these hats are rather
low, and the tops are unlined and
scantily gathered about the edge.

A bran mash once a week is reno

quarts of shelled oats, and the same
quantity of wheat bran, scalded about
