"Shished" the Tiger Away.

1t was frequent occurrence for
a tiger to carry off Chinese coolie
In the Malay peninsula, according to
a traveller who spent some time IN
that country. These persons, he said,
could seldom be brought to believe In
the reality of dangers from animals
that they looked on as only cats of
abnormal dimensions. 1 saw this
valor of ignorance tragically illus
trated one day when took some po-
lice out to help me track tiger re-
sponsible for the loss of many lives.
From a too distant eminenee we soon
caught sight of a Chinaman slowly
strolling along sucking piece of
sugarcane. Out sprang a tiger, but
missed his mark, the back of the mans
head. without any acceleration of
pace, the coolle, merely withdrawing
the cane from his mouth, waved at the
tiger and "shished" him away.

Not the Same Poincare.

There is growing up distinct Elm

ity. The following is the latest addi-

hailed him: swell, what do you think
of Poincare?" Il think he is very
talented man." Eyes, but what dar-
ingi" THE daring of genius" But
what a frenzied fury against his an
tagonist!' "Oh, no, not at all. You
don't know him." "Well, but at least,
professor, you won't deny that his de-
termLned enmity of Germany, and that
his megalomania-" "Oh," said Elm
stein, you're talking about Raymond
Poincare, the premier. was thinking OF

WOULD ADOPT ESPERANTO

Madison-A conference OF the
leading nations of the world to dis
cuss the teaching of an international
language throughout the world, was
asked Tuesday by Assemblyman A.
B. Blomberg, Price county, in reso-
luton memorializing congress tic
take the initiative in calling the
conference. His resolution was in
definitely postponed.
Assemblyman Blomberg advocates
Esperanto as the language to be
taught, as it is accepted by many
as international. He would have this
language taught in all high schools
and institutions Of higher learning
all over the civilized world.
Mr.. Blomberg expressed the opin-
ion that such measure would
lessen the dangers of another war
by minimizing chances for antagon-
istic feelings, inasmuch as all ma
tions would have one common lam
guage understood by all.

STATE NJ
LEGISLATURE
NEW BANK BILL

National banks now evading state
taxes through resort to federal laws
which exempt them from Wisconsin
revenue laws would be penaiized IN
allotment of public funds under terms
Of a bill introduced in the assembly
Tuesday by the taxation committee
The bill comes in recommended Tor
passage.
1t provides that mo natlonalspank
shall be depository for state, coun-
ty, town, city, village, school or otnef
public funds of whatsoever KIND or
nature, unless such bank pays state
county and local taxes on the same
basis as state banks.
This proposal, if enacted, viii aifect
the distribution Of millions OF dollars
of funds. County, local and state
funds annually apportioned to banks
amount to nearly $100,000,OOO. Be
cause of the fact that national banks
may evade state taxes, Charles u.
Rosa. of the state tax commission
suggested the bill introduced by the
taxation committee.

AFTER A VISIT TO DENTIST
Writer Recalls Some Impressions That
Some of us Can ShudderingIy
lndorse.

The only person who seems to pay
any attention to the "smile" sign In
a dentists Office is the dentist him
self.
Oddly enough, dental chairs are de-
signed with view to the patients
comfort.
You never realize what big mouth
you have till the dentist begins lay
ing his scaffolding in 1t.
There is nothing so unnecessary as
his preliminary announcement, Now,
this may hurt little"
The first step In painless extraction
is the injection of the anesthetic into
the gums.
The phrase, to take someone's head
off, undoubtedly originated with den
lists efforts to get the better Of a
stubborn wisdom tooth.
The sweetest words that ever fell
on your ear are: THAT will be all
for today"
You never had so much fun with a
glass of water before
Getting outside, you feel like q
stranger in the world.
The worst pain Of all comes when
you get your bill.-Edmund j. Kiefer,
In the New York Sun.

UN-AMERICAN, SAYS SKOGMO

The state senate Tuesday refused
tn POSTPONE indefinitely the Titus bill
increasing the size of the boards OF
normal school and university regents
to provide for representation OF agrl-
culture and labor. On tie vote, Ia
to Ia, the measure went over to
Thursday for final action.
An attack on the proposal, which
he described as un-American, was dl-
rected by Senator George b. Skogmo.
He declared the Progressives through
the bill were turning toward soviet
ism by recognizing class interests.
Senator Titus defended the bill on
the ground that it would aid in bring
ing the university and normal schools
back to the common people. They
now are sclosed corporations con-
trolled by a select clique he said.
Enactment of the measure would
give the governor and his political
faction immediate control OF the
university and of the normal schools.

HaiIstones Formed During Heat.

1t Is during summertime that hail
stones occur most frequently. 1t Is
the heat Of summer that gives rise to
them, for they can be formed only In
thundery weather.
When there Is thunder about there
are always very strong upward
draughts Of air. AS raindrops begin
to fall they are caught by these cur
rents and carried to great heights,
where they freeze solid. II they now
fall to earth they arrive In the form
of the small hailstones that are usu-
ally seen. Sometimes, however, after
falling through the clouds and receiv-
Ing a coating Of moisture, they are
carried up again by other currents.
The moisture freezes upon them, In
creasing their size.
The process may go on for some
time, in which case the hailstOne re-
ceives coating after coating of ice un-
til it becomes as large as marble or
even an egg.

THEORY ADVANCED BY MANY
What Might BE Called the Evolution
Of Evolution az Explained by
John Burroughs.

1t is interesting to note that the doc
trine of evolution itself has undergone
as complete an evolution as has any
animal species with which it deals.
We find the germ of it, so to speak, in
the early Greek philosophers and not
much more.
Crude, half-developed forms of 1t be-
gin to appear in the Eighteenth CEN
fury of our era and become more and
more developed In the Nineteenth, till
they approximate completion in OAR
win. In Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire, 1875,
there are glimpses of the theory, but
in Lamarck, near the beginning OF the
Nineteenth century, the theory Is SO
fully developed that it anticipates, OAR
win on many points; often full Of crud-
tiles and absurdities, yet Lamarck hits
the mark surprisingly often.
In 1913 DIR. w. G. Wells, an English
man, read paper before the Royal
society in London that contains pas
sage that might have come from the
pages of Darwin. In the anonymous
and famous volume called "Vestiges
Of Creation" published in 1914, the
doctrine Of the mutability of species
is forcibly put. Then in Herbert Spen-
Ger In 1852 the evolution theory of de-
velopment receives fresh impetus,
till it natures in the minds Of Oar
win and Wallace in the late Sos. The
inherent impulse toward development
is also in Aristotle. 1t crops out again
In Lamarck, but was repudiated by
Darwin.-From "The Last Harvest"
by John Burroughs.
