CARLYLE AND HIS WIFE.
A Glimpse of the III Assorted Couple
 and Their Home Life.

A Glimpse of the III Assorted Couple
 and Their Home Life.
 It Is certain that the Carlyles were an i'll assorted couple. She considered from the beginning that to marry him was an act of COndescensiOn on her part. The daughter of a country doc. tor of Haddington had descended from the skies, like Diana to Endymion, to marry the son of a stonemason. g '" But he loved her and was happy in hIs love.
 Not so she. Jealous of him as she was-furiously jealOus-nOt as lover, for there she knew she was safe. But she could not bear to think that if she were famous it was as bis wife, where as she, knowing herself 10 be brilliant would fain have had him to be known as the husband of that wonderful Mrs, Carlyle. It was his success, social and literary, that she resented. It irked her to be in the secoad place, and she could not forgive it. ''"
 There was something else of which the lady was jealous, and that was the agony of concentration which her hus' bands work meant for him. At mo- ments her "sueya indignatiO" against that Carlyle" as she would coutemp- tuously call him, passed all bounds.
 One day my aunt went to call upon her and found her in one of her tan trums. What was the mattcr:" she asked. "Oh, my dear, it's just that Carlyle! Would you believe it, have had a headache for three days. and he's only just found 1t out I'm afraid you're not quite well, my dear, he said, and all the time he has been working, working! just threw tea cup at his head."-Lord RedeSdale's Recollections.

BARABOO EDITOR WAS
ONCE STEEPL.E-JACK
madison Democr att

Harlan K. Page, a Baraboo editor,
who was down with his wife and Incl
dentally attended the progressive ban
quet, was called the steeple-jack while
a student in Beloit college along about
1894, because the year before he had
put in vacation parafning the Egyp-
tian obelisk in Central park, New York.
That shaft is 81 feet high and Mr..
Page says that sailors built the scaffold-
ing up on which he and other men
worked, and not nail was in it from top
to bottom, it being framed entirely
with ropes and beams and boards. First
in the process protecting the monolith
against the insidious effects Of the
weather, all disintegrating portions
were carefully chiseled off; then coat
of parafning was applied and heated
into the stone by charcoal stoves. In
this way every possible crack and cnink
was filled and the whole surface
covered by q waterproof coating The
work took some six weeks and Mr.. Page,
then but college boy, was paid So
daytime compensation and enough to
set him going we'll in his nextyear' stud
les.
Thus it was that he be came the stee-
pie jack, and when any deviltry of an
aItitudinous nature was in contempla-
ton at Beloit naturally he was the chap
called upon to perform it. The expert
ence on Cleopatra's needle now he re
calls with much interest.

goth anniversary of its graduation
Among other things the article told Of
a member of the class who had worked
