who yesterday engaged in real man
ual labor.
There were only a few of the thir-
ty-four miles of the highway in Lake
county on which volunteer work was
not done yesterday, and on those
stretches of the road grading will
probably be done some time next
week. Some of the men who had
prepared to assist in the improve
ments were unable to get the neces-
sary tools.
Not satisfied with the amount of
work done yesterday on that part of
the highway about ten miles south of
the city, the foremanship and assist
ant foremanship of which had been
assigned to II. Campbell and Mike
Cosgrove, respectively, the two men
had a crew of men on the job again
today.
Workers on the road both north
and south of the city were supplied
with water and cigars by DR.. w. A.
Rothschild, who covered the entire
strip OF the road in his automobile,
and by William Rowland, secretary
of the Madison Merchants %associa-
ton. and +. l.. Peck, who drove in
the latter's car.
Those who had interested them
selves in the good roads movement
said today that as a success the event
had exceeded their most sanguine
expectations.

TRAINMEN INJURED
Engine Topples Near Selby Because
of Broken Rail.

Aberdeen, June 9.-Engineer Per
ry l.. Gray is seriously scalded and
Fireman Levi Crull has a badly
scalded leg and Brakeman Ed John
son is suffering from serious injuries
to his back and shoulder as a result
of an accident on the Milwaukee rail
road near Selby, when the locomo-
tive, driven by Gray, struck a broken
rail and toppled over.
The locomotive was drawing a
heavy freight train. Nine ears of
lumber left the tracks and traffic
was delayed for several hours.
Gray's injuries are not expected to
prove fatal.

PROSPERITY in CHUNKS
MEN WITH FINGERS ON PULSE
OF COMMERCIAL CONDITIONS
ARE HIGHLY OPTIMISTIC.

Average good crops this summer
and fall are all hat are required TO
round out the most prosperous year
in the history of the country, it is
believed by commercial men who
have travelled both east and west
this spring, and who have visited
Madison during the last day or two.
They point out that while on account
of the backward spring, business has
run slightly behind the average in
some retail and wholesale lines, a
week or two of sunshine can but tend
to create a better than average de-
mand for ~seasonable wares. One rea-
son given for the good times is hat
services of men and women every
where are in unexampled demand,
and that good wages are necessarily
being offered.
One commercial traveller this
morning told that where last year
men in search of work much of last
year hung around city employment
offices for days, and frequently
longer, without getting jobs, the en-
ployment agents are now clamoring
IOT Sklll6Q anu unShlllcu ldDOlos ~
scarce are workmen in the average
city, and on farms, ii is said, that
some agents are now, for the first
time, charging the employment fee
to the prospective employer, instead
of to the applicant for work. The
explanation is that with jobs at every
hand, the men will not pay 81 or SO
for employment, as they are COM
PEELED to do when industrial condi-
tions are bad.
Another indisputable evidence of
the free circulation of money is the
large amount of travel. Men who
have long made periodical trips
across a considerable share Of the
United States, declare hat there is
no better barometer of general o n
ditions than the amount of money
paid out for railway fares. They ex-
plain that when times are bad a
large percentage of the population,
which would otherwise occasionally
seek recreation in.travel is compelled
to forego that pleasure, while manu-
facturers and wholesalers generally
are forced to reduce their travelling
forces. Statements that travel this
spring is heavier than for years past,
are corroborated at the Milwaukee
railway ticket office.

MARRIED Ga YEARS
MADISON COUPLE CELEBRATE
ANNIVERSARY TODAY-LES-
son FOR JUNE BRIDES.

Now m a tip to June brides,
and, for that matter, to brides who
did not think it worth while to wait
until June to annex a mediocre
half from one whose experience in
matters marital is equaled by but
very few people in the west.
This is the eXhortation: DO not,
if your husband fails to smile every
time your glances come into contact,
pack your suitcase"
And the bride who threatens to re-
turn to fathers plantation upon the
occasion of every little tilt with hub
by may not experience sixty-four
years of uninterrupted connubial
bliss as have Mr.. and Mrs. William
Morgan, 119 Washington avenue,
this city.
Today Mr.. and Mrs. Morgan quiet
ly celebrated the anniversary of their
wedding. In their trim little home
this forenoon they smilingly told a
reporter for The Daily Leader that it
was possible they had lived happily
together for nearly two-thirds of a
century because divorces were not
extremely fashionable during most of
the time they were of marriagable
age. And they gave other and better
reasons. One of them was that
neither had ever had real occasion to
start separating the personal belong
ings of one from those of the other.
Never since that spring day in
1852, when, in the presence of a
$1,000 ~ Ersnr1n 10 TAnra nAa,Vtr
Wis, they took the marriage vows
have Mr.. and Mrs. Morgan been sep
arated for more than two weeks at a
time. Their greatest hope now seems
to be that they never will again be
separated for even that length of
time.
Mr.. Morgan was born in st. Law
renee county, New York, 80 years
ago, and at the age of 5 years his
parents took him to western Pennsyl-
vania, where he worked in the coun-
try until he was Is years of age. At
about that time he went with his
parents to Dane county, Wis, where,
at the age of 26 he was married to
Miss Eunice Lovina Stillwell, ten
years his junior, who, with her par
ents, had moved to Dane county from
Mama county. Ohio, where she was
born in 1886.
About forty-five years ago Mr.. and
Mrs. Morgan left Wisconsin to take
up a claim near Spirit Lake, Ia.
where they farmed for about thirty
years, retiring some fifteen years
ago to take up their residence in
Madison.
Mr.. and Mrs. Morgan have nine
] children living. The oldest is Will
lam Morgan, jr.. SO years of age, who
resides on a farm in Nebraska. The
others are Henry Morgan, of this
city; Mrs. Anna Sehunenen, of Spirit
Lake, Ia; Mertillow and Barney
Morgan. of Adams county, N. d..
Mrs. Rhoda Zerfoss, of Bemis, S. d..
Mrs. Ida Cole, residing in Washing
ton, and Charles Morgan, of Morris
town, S. d.
Neither Mr.. nor Mrs. Morgan could
recall the exact number of their
grandchildren or great grandchil.
dren. Both of the aged couple seem
to be enjoying the best of health
Mr.. Morgan goes TO the stores, a dis
lance of several blocks, two or three
times a day, and he has cultivated q
fair sized vegetable garden. Mrs
Morgan does a part of her own
homework.

BITTEN BY RATHER
Prompt Medical Attention, However,
Saves Life of Philip Lad.

Philip, June 9.-Struck by the
son of a homesteader named Triola,
living near Philip, would have died
had the parents not been able to Sc
cure medical attention without great
delay. They rushed the little boy to
town, and reached there in time for
the physicians to save his life. The
boy was suffering intense pain from
the effects of the poison when the
doctors commenced working over
him. While yet very i'll he is be-
lieved to be beyond danger.

AUTOMOBILE TOUR
ID. T.. DOUGHERTY AND PARTY
JOURNEY SAFELY TO kINS-
MAN, Ill.

On the afternoon of May 80, Mr..
and Mrs. ID. +. Dougherty and
nieces, Misses Mayme Fisher and
Nellie Dougherty, left Madison on an
automobile journey to their former
home, Kinsman, Ill. A letter to The
Daily Leader announces their safe
arrival and enjoyment of the tour.
Mr.. Dougherty says:
I'VE arrived in Kinsman, H., Fri
day evening on our automobile trip.
We left Madison Monday at 3 o'clock
and came to Rock Rapids, Ia, then
south to LeMars, east on the Hawk
eye Highway to Storm Lake, south
on the Spirit Lake and Denison air
line to Denison, east on the Lincoln
Highway to Beaver, south about
twenty miles to the River to River
road, east through Des Moines on
the River to River road through Col
fax, the great watering place,
through the South Amana colonies,
then to Davenport, where we crossed
the Mississippi river into Illinois.
We met some rough roads there till
we got TO Sheffield, where we struck
the gravel road and then good roads
to Kinsman. We had no delay til
we reached Geneseo, Ill, where we
were delayed about half a day or
account of rain. We had no cal
trouble and the little Ford rambleo
right along without a puncture OIL
blowout. Our trip covered about 67E
miles and we used about forty-five
gallons of gasoline. We had a very
enjoyable trip and went through
some fine farming country and saw
some very interesting sights, bur
nothing like good old South Dakota

THE SPIRIT OF VERMONT.
Address of Judge Wendell Phillips
Stafford At the Annual Dinner OF
The Greater Vermont Asso-
ciafiOn

citation.
State pride may be a wholesome
sentiment-that depends upon the
state. Men are hardly entitled to be
proud of their state, as some appear
to think, just because it is theirs
just because it produced them. OF
course a man should be devoted to
his state. A man should be devoted
to his parents, because he is their
son; but whether he may be proud
Of them depends on other things.
Every state, 1 suppose, has some
thing to be proud of. To the MAX
ing of each there went some toiling
courage, some devotion to high prin-
ciple, some cheerful sacrifice for those
that should come after; and of these
men should be proud. But when we
speak with pride of territory and
population, overlooking harvests, ex-
haustless mines, luxurious cities, we
talk like children, who are proud Of
clothes and toys.
What Vermont has contributed to
the upbuilding of the nation has been
a favorite theme. Figures have been
arrayed to prove that out of all pro-
portion to her size and wealth she
has had her hand in business, in war,
in studies and professions, in the
making and execution of the laws.
Her vigorous blood has made its
pulse felt through all the arteries OF
the Republic; and it is there you must
look to find the Greater Vermont in
