SOOTHED BY HONEYED WORDS
Wife's Irritation Over Spoiled Dinner
Set Vanished Before Tribute
Paid Her by Hubby.

Father was washing the dishes,
while the family went out calling. He
didn't like the idea, but he put on
mothers apron and went to it like n
Trojan, sacrificing the pride of the
sterner sex for the happiness Of moth
er and the children.
When it came to wiping the dishes,
father looked about for a dish towel.
OF course he couldn't find one, so he
used the apron.
Man is so clumsy at woman's work
Father had scarcely begun wiping
when-crash THE costly new dinner
set was whole no more! Well, can you
blame him--so long as he was alone2
1t was only some sort of q bowl; he
didn't know exactly what Its use was
Mother and the children returned
home soon after father cleared up.
Mother went directly into the kitchen.
Father prepared for the worst.

"Well, wife," he joked, 81 washed the
dishes, you know. So it's broke"
A long, lingering, sorry "Oh" was
all mother could say, for 1t nearly
broke her heart to think her ideal din
ner set had been broken.
"Never mind, dearie; you know I'm
man, clumsy, slow, unused to family
work. When l dropped that bowl
realized what housework is. Now
can appreciate your work all the more.
I'm glad l dropped 1t, wife, dear.

Smuggier and Submarine.

The idea of submarine navigation Is
not so modern as many people imag'
inc. When Napoleon was banished to
st. Helena notorious smuggler
named tombstone conceived the idea
Of assisting the dethroned monarch
to escape. In Scott's Life of Napo-
leon" he says:
"A submarine vessel was to be the
means of effecting this enterprise. 1t
was thought that by sinking the YES
sci during the daytime she might es-
cape the notice of the British cruisers,
and, being raised at night might ap-
proach the guarded rock without dis
covery. The vessel was actually be-
gun In one Of the building yards upon
the Thames; but the popularity of her
construction having occasioned sus.
picion, she was seized by the govern
ment."

The employees of the William Rahr
Sons Company were agreeaby sur
prised Friday by receiving notice to
call at the Office for a Christmas pres
ent.
Checks were given to each of the 2lo
employees, varying in size from S2o.oo
to $4,000, which no doubt was appre-
ciated by the employees, and undoubt-
edly added to their Christmas festivi-
ties, especially now when the cost OF
living is so high. We understand
some ten Thousand dollars was distri-
buted by the firm.
The following card was also enclosed
in the envelope carrying tie check:
"The pleasure of wishing you Merry
Christmas and Happy New Year is ours.
Nav the wish strengthen the tie OF

CAROLINA DOCKED.

The Carolina reached Manitowoc
Friday afternoon. She looked none
the worse for her sojourn of 20 days
on the rocks north of Algoms but she
had bad wound
After everything was ready the boat
came off the bottom easily, the wreck
ing tug Favorite alone pulling. The
steamer Course furnished steam for
the pumps en- route. A night was
spent at kewaunee andNhen the outfit
came on to Manitowoc with the crippl-
ed liner. The damage was clearly re-
vealed when the boat was lifted in tn
floating dry dock. Two large holes in
the steel hull were exposed. Repairs
may take several months. Experts
we're of the opinion that the gale
blowing Monday and Tuesday would
have worked havoc with the boat
she were still in her precarlous posi-
tion on the shore.

EDUCATIONAL.
(By G. w. Meisnest.)

Why foreign language study is val
liable in both high schools and colleges
is set forth in seven reasons in bulle.
tin now being published for the use OF
Wisconsin school principals, teachers,
and boards, by committee of profes.
sors aS the University Of Wisconsin.
The seven reasons are as follows
l. The mental disciplin supplied by
foreign language study is of great va
lue. 1t is strict and varied, necessi-
tates close, constant, and orderly think
ing, and calls for the highest degree
of concentration
2. AS an aid to mastering the Eng
ish tongue, it involves an acquisition
of grammatical mastery such as a
student of English alone rarely pos
sesses. Since English is highly
composite tongue, intimately related
with other languages, the student
learns to make more exact discrimin-
ating use of English
3. Full understanding of English lit
erature can only be obtained through
knowledge of foreign languages be-
cause Of the inter-relation of the lit
erature Of various countries.
4. For the understanding OF the evo-
luton and history of civilization, one
of the chief purposes of education, a
knowledge of foreign languages is the
only key.
5. For the cultivation OF the scienti.
tic habit of mind and for the pursuit
of professional studies, foreign lang
uage study is Indispensable. The re-
suit OF European scholarship are inn
mediately and fully accessible only to
those who can read the European lang
uages.
&, In business, knowledge of foreign
languages is becoming more and more
Indispensable, as business relations
with other countries become more ex.
tensive.
I. AS an aid tc citizenship, foreign
language study is most valuable. The
United States never had a greater need
of understanding European countries.

port ON October 6, 1916 that Edmund
Hammond Hargraves, the discoverer
Of the Australian goldfields, was born.

Of the American goldfields was so
similar to that of the Australian Blue
mountains that Rargraves argued bold
ly, "Gold here, therefore, gold there"
A Acommissionership and 10000 was the

graves had really been anticipated by
