Lead on Dithmqr

Milwaukee, Robert NJ. LaFoll-
cite Jr., United States senator
elect from Wisconsin continued to
increase his lead as belated re-
turns from Tuesdays election came
in. With only las precincts in the
north woods section missing out of
the 1852 in the state, the count
stood:
LaFollette 231,O25; Dithmar, SO,
SIT; Bruce, 1926; Work, 11,176;
Bauman, TAO.
Reports from the missing pre-
cincts probably will not be avail
able until the official count is
made, owing to the condition of
roads on the outlying section where
heavy rain has made traffic diff
cult.

unexplained accident in which she
was injured. The girls head was
hurt and while she appears to be
rational at times, she has not yet
been able to tell how she was in
iured
Catching a glimpse of herself in
a mirror Miss Bresnahan asked her
mother what was the matter with
her face and seemed surprised at
seeing the bruises, apparently hay-
ing no recollection of being hurt.
Friends of the injured girl do not
believe it probable that she would
accept a ride from stranger so
this makes it more likely that she
was struck by an automobile as
she walked at the side of the road.
1t was evidently about two hours
before she was found for she had
left the curio shop where she was
employed at nine o'clock and it was
not until eleven that two men on
their way home saw the girl lying
beside the road and went to get
the night Waterman. Jack Willard.
The fact that Miss Bresnahan
was about six block past her home
adds mystery to the case.
A consultation of physicians was
held on Friday and it is thought
that the girl will recover and her
mind clearing, she will be able to
explain what happened.

The total vote cast was 5000.
This is an average vote for the

1t is interesting to note that the
results as received at the Baraboo

accurate, there being but one vote
out of the way in the leading can
didates. This shows good work On
the part of the clerks in counting
their ballots, as well as transmit

a scene of gaiety Friday evening
when the Ladies Social Circle sur
prised a sister member, Mrs. w.

home in Wilmette, H.
To say she was surprised and
also pleased is putting it mildly.
About 40 members and families a.

tunity to partake of a banquet
lunch and wish "Louise" and fam
lily the best in life. A little token
of esteem was given her to carry

Babcock was grooming when
rushed to hospital by flying field
aides and his condition could not
be determined.
According to information given
out at the field, the motor failed
over the Northwestern station.
Then starting internationally he was
able to barely clear the electric
crane at the Madison gas company
plant, the smoke stack at the Burg
ess plant and the chimney at the
Gisholt
The motor restarted and carried
the plane to considerable height
while nearing Eken's field where it
failed again, and the plane began
to nose dive.
Babcock prepared to jump as it
neared the ground and succeeded
in getting clear of the wreckage.
He landed on his head, and his
nose was crushed.

Yet of the two she seems more
real, more true, more an actually,
to thousands of people.
One is authenticated by archeo-
logical exploration, the other By her
kinship to the human heart.
We identify ourselves with the
hero or heroine of fairy tale. The
historical or serious, with its un-
disputed facts, remains stubbornly
ASSOCIATED. We see ourselves in
the fairy tale; the historical is
opaque.
While the fairy tale often leaves
facts far behind it always clings
close to the truth of human nature
and human interests.
Because it is up in the clouds not
attached to any anchoring facts it
becomes drama that is enacted in
the mind Of each hearer with him
self as leading actor. The same
drama is enacted with thousand
casts. ~
Fairy tales talk in the language of
the universal. 1t is effects and
not facts that they give up. They
present the essential truth of human
nature and not its bewildering and
contradictory manifestations in
everyday actions and facts.
