Painter's Hard Luck.

A painter at work on a water tank
at Bull, Mimi, foresaw a catastrophe
when a COW began to scratch her back
on the bottom Of the ladder and start
ed to come down. That frightened the
cow and she ran her horns through
the lower rungs of the ladder and
started off in a gallop, carrying the
ladder, painter, paint and all. The
louder he yelled the faster the COW
travelled. It was but a short ride for
the painter, who struck the ground
uninjured, but the cow carried the lad
der for a quarter of a mile.

the soldiers bonus and educational
law. For time there seemed to be
an opinion at the capitol that there
would be no test suits. There were
indications at the capital that the mat
ter may still be brought to court is

taken will come in the form of a tax
payers suit and it is intimated here
that such action is quite likely to
come from Milwaukee. Attorney Gen.
Blaine said that his department had
looked into both laws carefully and
that they had been held valid. If any
action is taken, Mr.. Blaine's depara
ment will defend the validity Of the
