from. the Chicago Tribune which
shows how the presidential cleo
tions have gone since 1888. 1t is
interesting to not that the solid
south has remained solid and that
other states have varied consider
ably along party lines. In 1888,
Benjamin Harrison was elected fol
lowed by Grover Cleveland, William
Mckinley twice., Theodore Roose
velt, William H. Taft, Woodrow
Wilson twice., and Warren G.
Harding. What prophet can say
what name will follow?
Mrs L. d. Stillson has received
letters from her son, L. R. Stillson
which states that he has moved
from Detroit to Plymouth, Michigan
where he has purchased bakery.
The young man graduated from the
Baraboo high school in 1906 and
since that time has been with
bakery firms in Chicago, Brooklyn
and Detroit. This extended ex
perience has enabled him to be-
come familiar with the business
and he will no doubt make a sue
cess in the new field. During the
last two decades the business of
bakeries has greatly increased,
people buying more and more of
the products.
The force of an explosion of a
boiler of a threshing machine,
which he had been repairing threw
the body of Jack Syler of Freder-
ika, Iowa, over a two story house
that was about twelve feet distant
from the machine, knocking the
chimney off, and passing the
branches of two trees. A delapi-
dated shoe was the only clothing
remaining on the scalded and badly
mangled body so terrific was the
force of the explosion. This
should prove a warning to those
engaged in the repairing of steam
boilers of various kinds.
Many who pass into the north
door of the post Office building have
not noticed the broken fossils i'm
bedded in the large block of stone
beneath the electric lights. Among
the fossils are pieces of crongids,
brachiapods and gastropods. These
sea animals assisted in forming the
limestone in which they were final
iy imbedded when the sea covered
the Mississippi valley.
This office has received a copy
of The Boston Traveller sent by
George d. Dodd, who went to the
"Iub of the Universe" to attend the
national G. A. r. gathering. Much
space in the paper is devoted to the
proceedings of the veterans and
auxiliary organizations.
straight Tips from Animals
About How to Manage People" is
the title of an article by Edwin 2.
Norwood which appears in the July
American magazine. Mr.. Norwood
has been head of the press depart
ment of Ringing Bros. circus for
some years and his work with the
circus has brought him into this city
at various times. Mr. Norwood has
attained some reputation as Wri-
ter, being the author of "The Ad-
ventures of Diggeldy Dan"
His article in The American is
exceedingly interesting, giving his
experiences with various of the
circus animals, and number of
illustrations accompany the story,
showing Mr.. Norwood with some OF
his pets. He points out some clever
morals, one of these being:
eff you don't want a goat to
charge you, go up close to him, so
that he can't get a'running start.
And that's a good rule to follow
with human beings. Don't be afraid
to go straight to them" s
Another picture shows Mr.. Nor
wood with three handsome wolf
hounds and beneath the picture is
the following:
mot knowing that these Russian
wolfhounds were supposed to be
ready to bite any stranger, Ne.
Norwood blandly joined them in
posing for this picture. If he had
expected trouble, he wouldn't have
tried the stunt. Moral: The fear of
failure brings failure"
Many who are subscribers to the
Outlook have noticed articles about
the Ku Klux Khan from time to-

The writer of the articles is son
of Professor Frost, head of the
