A MOTHER KIND OF MACHINE
Wife Had No Intention of Letting
Hubby Forget He Had Not Mar
ried Needle Worker.

Speaking at a dinner party, Senator
james w. WadswOrth of New York
n ferred to the poor memory possessed
b some people, and fittingly contrib
uted this anecdOte:
One evening q business man, who
had married his pretty stenographer,
went to his room to dress for a ses-
s. ion of his favOrite lodge. A few min
utes later he was heard calling at the
Head of the stairway.
"Jessie, DEAR" said hubby in a kind
and gentle voice, cant you come here
just for minute?''
II suppose l can" indifferently an
wered Jessie, arising from her easy
chair and starting for the stairway.
What do you want?"
"There is little ripped place in the
5 hirt that l want to wear to the lodge
onight," returned hubby. Cant you
ew it up for me?"
"Of course not" was the prompt re-
ioinder of wiley. II will get Jane to
do it. You seem to forget that you mar
lied a typewriter, not a sewing ma
dime"

whittet Answers Critics of state.

In speech at GAINESVILLE, before the
Twilight club, in which he reviewed
Wisconsin's part in the war, Speaker
Lawrence Whittet Of the assembly
took to task those persons who refer
to Wisconsin as a dislOyal state. He
reviewed the creation of the state
council of defense and told of it's activ-
tiles.
Il think | am violating no trust when
[ relate a few of the situations that
confronted the governor at the time
of the recent draft" said Mr.. Whittet.
From Milwaukee came the statement
that there was decided opposition to
the draft, and that bloodshed would
surely follow if state militia was not
present to quell the disturbances that
were sure to arise. Governor Philip
personally investigated conditions and
was unable to find anything to sub
stantiate the charges that had been
made. He refused to send militia. The
result is too well known for me to
make any comment here. Tt is repre-
sented to us that the only disturbance
that occurred in Wisconsin on registra-
ton day was fight in Milwaukee be.
tween two men to see which one
should register first.
Military records of Wisconsin since
the beginning of the war and the first
call for volunteers are cited by all who
are aware Of the loyalty of the people
Of the state.

A dispatch from Washington says:
The state of Wisconsin has lost it's
suit to obtain title to 6,4O0 acres of
land. mostly timbered, in the Menom-

based on the provision of the ordinance
of 1873 setting aside one school section
in each township, and devoting it and
its income to school purposes. The
state claimed that this held good on
the reservation as elsewhere, and
sought to restrain the Indians, under
government supervision, from cutting
timber for the mill on the reservation.
