wander through Palestine up 70 the
slopes of Mount Ararat and to catch

a rare event in any mans life. To
make the visit in company with a

RENEWING CONFIDENCE.

confidence in her husband is the

man in a suit for divorce.
Confidence is the basis of success
in business.
Bankruptcy results when a man loses
the confidence, of his business asso-
ciates.
Confidence is the basis of peace be-
tween nations and when it is violated,
they go to war.
But most fortunes are piled up late
in life after a man has learned how
to do business successfully by falling
down several times. And nations at
war in one decade protest their friend
ship in the next and become allies
against a common enemy.
1t is only in marriage that men and
women insist that confidence, once
lost, can never be restored. But even
in that we are learning. Now we have
domestic relations courts in many
large cities, the object of which is to
re-establish homes from which con-
fidence has fed.
Unfortunately, the most bitter
tragedies are never discussed in do
nestle relations or divorce courts.
Husbands and wives live and die in
distrust of each other because they
forget that all the religions of the
world preach forgiveness, and that all
science teaches the law of change.
Refusal to change ourselves, refus-
al to recognize change in others, means
death to the emotions, of which love
is the most vital.
To claim that one cannot renew
ones confidence in another is not at

learn to play the bass drum in three
lessons, but it takes him year to
learn how to play it. Even a man
with a meager knowledge of music
can read the score for the bass drum

to learn how to do it while pushing
the said drum down the street, beating
up with it against heavy wind, and
turning a narrow corner with an auto

YEARNING FOR OLD WISCONSIN.
(Boscobel Dial-Enterprise.)

(BOScOD6I D1dI-EQJ6fpf1S6.J
Occasionally a good man grows dis
satisfied with Wisconsin. The milk is
too yellow or the honey too sweet and
he doesn't like to have them flow over
his land anyhow.
So he parts with his farm, sells his
Gus to mention at auction, and moves
to Kansas or Nebraska or some other
wind-swept desert. There he takes
his good Wisconsin money and buys
a farm which today is and tomorrow
is not, because the wind has blown it
away Or he tries Colorado and
slushes around in the mud and irri-
gates a strip of bottom so narrow
that a COW cannot jump into the field
because she jumps over.
Then he hears of Texas and goes
down there to hunt the bag of gold at
the end of the rainbow. In the day
time he scratches sandburrs out OF
his flesh and at night the tarantulas
nibble at his feet and the centipedes
crawl over his face.
When his money is gone he begins
to feel like he did when he first staid
away from home.
He yearns for good old Wisconsin
and the yearns stick in his throat and
choke him until the tears come into
his eyes. He would give a months
work to again see the cows that stand
at the barn on his old Wisconsin farm
and hear the horn blow for dinner.
Memory is marvellous painter, and
paints best the things we have lost.

PULLMAN PORTERS.
(By George Fitsch.)

10y 06OIS &c 1COCL'J
A Pullman porter is a sad Senegam-
bian who makes beds in a sleeping
car for a living He makes twenty
four beds each night and gets done in
time to begin unmaking them in the
morning. When business is brisk a
porter sometimes has to go without
food for three days, because he cannot
take the end of pillow slip from his
mouth long enough to snatch bite.
Besides making up beds, the porter
has to blacken shoes. All night long
he blackens shoes, putting black
blackening on the tan ones and tan
blackening on the black ones with
great care. He blackens all the shoes
he can find and then puts them away
in a pile. Then he goes away himself
and stands out in the cold gray dawn
ing Of the station platform for hours
at time, while his guests ring bell
that has been disconnected. However,
he always gives the shoes back when
he gest around OF it. Sometimes
greedy guest takes second helping
of shoes and the last man gets left,
but this is not the pOrter's fault, and
those who blame him wrong him cruel
ly
Porters are always dark men, but
they are not as dark as their deeds. A
porter likes nothing better than to
steal the whisk broom out of the wash
room and then rent his own broom
to the passengers for quarter apiece.
Porters are also absent-minded.
While thinking about their wrongs
they forget to awaken the sleeping
passenger until the train is slowing
down for his town, thus compelling
him to dress lightly in his trousers
and leap for life with bushel of
clothes in his arms. But porters are
very faithful. All night long when
he is not making berths or blackening
shoes the porter sits by the car heat
er and stokes it. If the thermometer
drops below Ill, he is ashamed, and
weeps bitterly over his neglect.
People criticise the Pullman porter
because of his naughty ways and his
gloomy disposition, but we should not
forget his wrongs. What with trying
to unmake berths while the people are
still in them and getting chased with
club because he has grabbed
sleeping passenger by the nose in try
ing to waken him and what with
spending a lifetime watching sleeping
and ill-natured mankind in it's stock
ing feet and without it's collar on he
cannot help souring a little. So we
should be kind to the porter at least
quarters worth each trip and should
not forget, when retiring, to attach a
string to a great toe and hang it out
side the berth curtain in order that
he may not be compelled to feel around
for our hair in the dark while waking
us.

Into the forests primeval; under the whis-
pering pines,' at least one would think so, I'M
lucky and unknowing enough to take the road
through "Injun" creek toward Dubuque, instead
of across the Platte and through Dickeyville
when the fork is reached on the ridge below Ten
nyson. An automobile party made this fatal mis-
take last Friday afternoon and for 200 miles
so it seemed--went down steep hills through
mud in wall of forest. They crossed streams
that had been guiltless of bridge since the first
freshets created them, and over rock, boulder
log and precipice found their tortuous and tremb
ling way eventually to the foot of the hills and
saw Dubuque in the distance The road almost
reaches to the Mississippi at one point and de-
ceives the traveller. The next thing he knows is
that several miles of bluffs intervene over high
ways that be called so only in courtesy.
N. B.-The above may seem mixed up, but so
was the road.

NICE LUMP FOR OUR STATE.
(Viroqua Censor.)

Wisconsin's share of the $75,000,000
of federal money appropr ated by con-
gress for the improvement of roads
under the newly enacted federal aid
road bill will be close to 100000. A
total of $S5, 100000 is appropriated,
but 100000 must be paid for roads
and trails in the national forests.
If this great appropriation escapes
the graft and pork barrel practices
that go with most government levies,
there may be excuse for it's having
been made. Commissions and boards
too frequently squander federal and
state money.

A lot of bosh is written about getting back to
the government of our fOrefathers and doing
things as they did. This type of mind always
starts out by comparing our methods with
those of the time of Lincoln, Andrew Jackson
Thomas Jefferson and George Washington, and
ends up with wailing over the decadence of our
days. AS matter of fact no method of reason
ing could be more fallacious and less worth
while We are not going back to the methods
of our forefathers because we must, like they
meet the new issues coming before us with the
light that our experience has given us. All points
considered, we should have better things than
they did because we have their accumulated eff
fort for progress back of us together with our
own more enlightened period. There is not whit
more graft and dishonesty to-day than there
was 100 years ago and despite all of the black
clouds the world is better and moving on to
finer things. The advocates of a return to old
conditions are unconsciously very much alike
the Chinese who reverence their ancestors and
feeling that they must not do other than they did,
do not advance. Our friends waste their breath
and stupefy their minds for want of little real
thinking and observation.

Apropos Of the recent dry weather we can find
something to be very thankful for. The farm

Does Herald advertising pay? Naturally, we
contend that it does, but-contending and prov

week through this column we advertised for a

the paper was issued. Not a big rain, to be
sure, but enough to show that Herald advertis-
ing does pay!
