Governor Blaine vetoed the thirty
thousand dollar special appropriation
bill of the conservation commission,
on the ground that instead of keep

activities $1,331,85 and it has turned
into the state treasury $1,369, 326. Be-
side this, it's prosecutions have turn
ed into the school fund in the same
period in fines $169, 776.30, so that in

Here's one on a Miss who cast her
first vote at the recent election not
far from Baraboo. She sailed into
the booth with all the confidence of
an old timer. When she delivered
her ballots one of the inspectors said.
"Are you twenty-One?" This question
was meant for joke, but that dam
sci did not take it that way, for she
snapped out, mo sir, I'm twenty
five" At this there was chorus of
outlaws and she left the place in high
dudgeon. And the most laughabh
feature of the affair is that she can
not yet see the joke, but puts those
election officers. down as a bunch Of
roughnecks.

F.. A. Nehs, who returned a few
days ago from Florida, says the in
dications for oranges and grape fruit
next year in the Ponce de Leon state
