four degrees higher than tho average
temperature for tho year In that place.
Thus, In tho northern part of Wiscon

Is about 40 degrees; and the tempera
luro of tho soli water, below where it
si affected by the light of tho sun Is
about 41 or 45 degrees. This tempera

this cold may be made of great value.
Even In the southern part of the stato
the soil tcmperaturo nt the depth men

feet the ground grows gradually warm

below 80 feet tho ground generally
grows warmer on account of the heat
from the center of the earth. This
layer of earth whero the cmptrature Is

zone of thermal equilibrium. Hut above

of tho ground, the soil is only 4 or 5
degrees warmer than tho soli In tho

just as good satisfaction as a hori

1 n nr
A Ward ot the State.
Ho was nn unattractive boy, under
sized nnd .lean, with a sulky mouth
nnd a heavy frown bt"ween his eyes.
He was trudging home from school,
walking with his head bent, shoulders
stoopod, and a general vagabondlsh
look about him.
When he went Into tho house whero
ho lived, n little girl enme running to
meet him. Ills face lighted up when
ho saw her, nnd he thrust his hand
Into his pocket nnd brought tip some
thing thnt looked like 11 bunch ot dried
loaves.
"Sfo what fell ofT the elm tree," he
said. "It's n cocoon, nnd we'll keep
It till spring nnd sec what klm'. of
butterfly comes out of It." He put it
back In his pocket nfter ho had looked
at it. Tho child's mother sat sewing
at a window. Sho was n pleasant
faced woman nnd hnd listened to tho
boy with n smile. Now she spoke.
"Won't you bring In the wood, Jc
hosaphat?" she said, In n kindly voice.
"You forgot It this morning, nnd 1,
have had to bring some In myself."
The boy gnvo somo Inarticulate re
ply and slouched out of the room.
At the tea-table the little girl's father
spoke pleasantly to tho boy, telling
him somo piece of the fnrm news, but
tho boy was unresponsive. Only once
ho spoke, coloring, nnd hanging his
head lower than usunl. "Can do peo
ple ever change their nnmcs?"
Why, yes, they told him; they knew
of people who had done so.
After that the boy relapsed Into
moody silence.
It was n week or two later that there
was a commotion In the school-house
yard during tho nfternoon recess. A
young woman was seen going Into the
schoolhotiHc. The children stopped
their play nnd stared after her. "It Is
the State Lady," they whispered to
each other. A number of them looked
more excited nnd Important than tho
rest; they were wards of the state, who
were boarded at different farmhouses
In the district.
Tho "Stato Lady" was tho visiting
Inspector, who came around occasion
ally to see how her charges fared. Sho
stayed through tho Inst session ot
iohool, listening to the children's recl
tntlons. Then they were dismissed
and went trooping home.
As the state visitor left the school
house n small flguro camo from the
shadow of the doorway und ran up to
her. "May I speak to you, Miss Cham
berlain?" She turned nnd looked nt him.
"Why, certainly," sho said. "This is
Jehosaphat, Isn't it?" sho added,
kindly.
"Yes'm."
Sho smiled dowii upon lilm,- wonder
ing what was coming. He hnd been
one of her puzzling cases and she hard
ly knew what to make of him. Ho was
vary evidently discontented, but try as
she might, she never could Hnd out the
cause of It. Sho would, ask him If Mr.
nnd Mrs. Bryant were not kind to him,
and ho would nnswer, "Yes'm," In his
soft drawl. Did he hnve to work too
hard? "No, rn'm." Did he have
enough to eat? "YcB'm." Was he
ever punished .unjustly? "No, rn'm."
She questioned Mr. and Mrs. Bryant.
Ho was a good boy, they maintained.
He didn't seem very happy, but they
didn't know whnt the reason was. Ho
never tnlked much, but he was nlways
good to little Ada; they always felt
safe ubout her If ho was with her.
His teacher said that ho might eas
ily be the best scholar In school if
only he took any Interest in his stud
ies; as It was, ho was tho best reader
sho had.
Altogether, he was something of a
problem, and Miss Chamberlain waited
expectantly to hear what ho had to
say.
But Jehosaphat seemed to Hnd it
hard to begin. Ho walked slowly ulong
by her side as If of half a mind to run
away.
Finally, with desperate courage, ho
looked up Into her brown eyes. "Some
folks sometimes change their names,"
ho blurted out.
Miss Chamberlain looked surprised.
"Well?" sho snid.
He was looking down on tho ground
again. "I I wish you'd get mine
changed for me," ho said, in a low,
pleading voice.
"But, my dear boy" she began.
He Interrupted her, speaking quickly
nt last. "You don't know what I've
gone through, all on account of my
name. Ever since I can remember,
everybody's lnnghed at me nbout it,
and the boys nt school call rue every
thing they can think of Joss Sticks,
Old Hobs, Fatty, and and everything,
nnd I can't think of hnlf of em now,
and and sometimes It don't seem as
though I could stand it. How'd you
like to bo named Jehosaplmt Plunkett?
I I wnnt you to change It."
Sho put out her plump white hand
and laid it gently on his shoulder.
"My dear little boy," she said, "you
don't know what you are asking. Sup
pose the atnte should change your
name, as you wjsh. There uro ever
and ever so many other boys nnd girls
under Its care, and suimojo they should
hear about you and should nil want to
have their names changed. Tho stato
hoards and clothes you, and you can't
expect It to do moro than thnt. No, I
am sorry, but If you want your nnme
changed you will have to wait till you
are older and can earn the money for
It yourself."
Her heart smote her as sho saw the
boy's disappointment. "Come," Bho
Mild, "let us Bit down on tho rock.
Now that wo aro having a talk 'to
gether, there are somo other things I
want to sny to you."
They went and bat down side by side.
"I don't blame you n bit for wanting
your name changed. I know It must
be hard to bear. But every one hns
hard things to bear, nnd I want you to
be brave niul benr yoti'4 like a man. I
want you to forget nWut your nnlne nil
you can, nnd the best way to do that is
to bo busy. You nro. almost old
enough to work for your own board,
nnd It would bo n good lden for you to
get ready for that. You help Mr. nnd
Mrs. Bryant, don't you?"
"I bring In tho wood."
"Yes; nnd whnt else?"
"Nothing, except look after Ada a
little."
MIes Chamberlain raised
blows.
her eye-
"Is that nil they require of you?"
"Yes'm."
"No wonder you arc unhappy. You
must begin right away to do more. A
great many of my boys, your nge, help
over so much nbout tho farm milk,
pull weeds, and other things. 1 never
suspected that you hnd nothing to do
but bring In wood. Mrs. Bryant said
you worked. Now, you don't want to
bo a lazy boy. If you chango your
namo and got u nice one, you wnnt to
be as good as your name, don't .you?
I thought so. And you will keep your
eyes wide open nftor thin, nnd sec
every chance there Is to help Mr. nnd.
Mrs. Urynnt, who have been so kind
to you. You must work nt school, too.
Your tencher tolls mo that you might
bo a good scholar If you would only
try."
She drew out her watch and looked
nt It. "I must go now," sho said, ris
ing. She held out her hand to him.
"I Bhall expect to see a great Improve
ment In you tho noxt time I come
around. You must make me proud ot
you." Ho looked up nt her with sor
rowful eyes, and she bent and kissed
him before sho turned and went down
the road alone.
He stood watching her, and when Bho
reached tho corner nnd looked back
and waved her hand, he waved his In
return. Then ho walked slowly home.
He wan bitterly disappointed. Ho
hnd hoped thnt tho Btuto lndy would
agree at onco to his proposal, that he
would tell her the name ho had chos
en, and that sho would attend to the
details, if there were any. Ho had
spent much time deciding on n namo,
nnd had finally selected Reginald Fer
dinand St. Clair aa just to his taste. It
hnd not occurred to him thnt tho proc
ess of changing his nnme Involved uny
expense. He saw tho justice of every
thing Miss Chamberlain had said, and
as ho went home ho mado up his mind
that ho would follow her suggestion
and earn the money with which to
chango his name.
In tho days that followed, Miss
Chamberlain's little speech was con
stnntly In his thoughts. He set nbout
devising means of earning money. He
know It would not bo right to earn It
of Mr. Brynnt, for very soon ho would
hnvo to do work enough to pay for his
board. Ho must And things to do for
the other neighbors. And here came
a difficulty; ho did not know how to
do nny kind of work. Tho Bryants
had thought him rather delicate, and
hnd, with intended kindness, let him
spend his time almost as he liked.
When Jehosaphat recognized this
first dlfllculty he was almost discour
aged, but he thought of Reginald Fer
dinand St. Clair, set his teeth, and
went nnd asked Mr. Bryant to teach
him to milk.
At Bchool, also, he began to do better
work. It would never do for Rcglnnld
to be Ignorant. His teacher noticed
the Improvement and took special
pains to help him.
All through the winter he worked
hard. He tried to And things to do for
the neighbors, but most ot them had
boys of their own, nnd even when he
did get a chance to chop kindlings or
shovel snow, ho was paid but a few
cents for it.
So, when spring came, all he had to
show for his labor was fifty cents. It
was disheartening, but tho thought or
Reginald Ferdinand St. Clair gavo him
courage.
As warm weather came on there was
moro to do. Now and then he hnd an
opportunity to pick atones, or lend n
horse to plow. There was also more
to do at the Bryants', nnd he worked
there conscientiously, though Mr. Bry
nnt wns very easy with him. When,
on Saturday afternoon, Mr. Bryant
would say, "Well, I guess you've done
enough for today; you'd better go now
and hnve a good time," it would bo the
signal for Jehosaphat to run to Borne
neighbor's and work furiously till ten
time, when he would return homo with
his earnings held tightly In his hnnd.
Evenings he was so tired thnt ho would
fall asleep over somo book thnt for
merly would hnve kept him awake till
late; then he would go to his room,
tumble Into bed nnd sleep soundly till
morning.
As, the strawberry season came on(,
his studies nt school "suffered, lie
stuck to them doggedly, but his out
door work made him dull and sleepy.
Ills teacher, not understanding Jhe sit
uation, took him to task for his de
ficiencies, and then he carried hlB
books home and tried harder than ever
to study.
Vacation began early that year, so
for more than a week Jehosaphat
could spend most of his time picking
strawberries for Mr. Mason, who had
a largo fruit farm, lie would got up
early and do his chores at the Bryants',
walk the half mile to tho Masons', and
bo ready to go to work with tho other
pickers. During that time bis earn
ings mounted up surprisingly, and his
hopes were high,
After tho picking was over ho was
very tired, and Mrs. Bryant flatly re
fused to call him mornings, saying thnt
he must sleep and get rested, Ho mado
a strong effort to wake early, but when
he opened his eyes he would find tho
sun streaming Into hla room. Ho
would dress hnstlly and go down, but
hnlf his work would halo been dono by
Mr. Bryant, nnd ho would feel thnt ho
ought to mako It up In somo way.
Thus two weeks went by, and ho had
earned nothing, so, although ho hated
to do It, he took n dollar from his sav
ings nnd bought nn alarm clock.
By the first of September, besides
having tho satisfaction ot knowing
that ho had helped Mr. Brynnt more
than enough to pay his board, Jehosa
phnt had saved nearly ten dollars.
And then little Ada had' n birthday.
Jehosaphat counted over his money,
and pondered on what ho should do.
Ho wnntcd to give Ada n present, nnd
yet his name.
Somehow, In the past summer, his
nnme hnd not troubled him as much no
it used to. He disliked It as much as
ever, but the boys hnd let him nlono
nnd ho hnd heard hardly one of tho ob
jectionable epithets. Still, ho was very
anxious to be Reginald Ferdinand St.
Clair, nnd It seemed very near now.
He wondered how much it would cost.
Ho wnntcd very much to get Ada a
present.
Yes, ho finally decided, he would do
It, and he guessed thcro would be
euough left for his name. So ho took
two dollars nnd n hnlf und went to the
vlllngo to get the present. Ho bought
tho little carriage and beautiful wax
doll he hnd set his mind on, nnd was
Just starting nway from tho store
when ho Baw Judge Weymouth on tho
other sldo of tho street. Now wns n
good chance to speak to him.
"How much docs it cost' for a person
to chn.ngc hla name, Judgo Wey
mouth?" ho panted.
The Judge wns In n hurry. "Oh, ten
or fifteen dolInrB," ho niiBwercd, und
passed on without stopping.
Jehosaphat went homo inoro cast
down than ho hnd been for n long time.
School began In two dnyB, and there
would be few chances to earn. Ho
would do well If ho mado up his ten
dollars by spring, nnd then ho might
havo to get llvo more. If ho hadn't
bought tho alarm clock and tho pres
ent, thcro would hnvo been ton dol
lars. Ho went Into tho houso sadly
and gave Ada her present, but when
ho saw her delight ho smiled happily,
and told himself thnt ho could wait
about his nnme Just as well as not.
The teacher hardly knew him when
sho came back to school. Ho had
grown taller and larger; ho now had a
frank, winning expression on his buu
burned face, and his gray eyoB wcro
bright and clear. Ho.had thought over
his last winter's work nnd had decided
to do different this year. He would dc
voto himself to his studies und not try
to earn much, then during tho summer
vacation he could easily make up tho
fifteen dollars.
So he Btudlcd and read nnd worked
hard for promotion. Ills farm work,
after his year of training, camo easy to
him, every ono was kind to him, and
at tho end of tio spring vacation ho
was sure of the wished for promotion.
Then, nfter the spring term, camo
tho busy summer, and he worked to
such purposo that by Septcmbor ho
hnd twenty dollars. And ono day,
with his money In his pocket, he went
to see Judge Weymouth.
When he enmo nway, tho money was
still In his pocket, nnd anger nnd dis
appointment were In his heart. Tho
judge had not bcon In a. pleasant tem
per. "Ono nnme is ub good as another
If you only bohnve yourself. But If
you nro bound to do It let me see;
you'll havo to go to tho court. Who
nro your guardians?" sharply.
"The state."
"Ah! Havo you said anything to
MIbb Chamberlain about It?"
"Yob, sir. Sho said tho stato
couldn't "
"Weil, then," snapped tho judge,
"you'li havo to wait till you are twenty-one,"
nnd with that he swung back
to his desk, closing the Interview.
For n few days Jehosaphat was
moody and Irritable; then ho reflected
thnt such conduct would not bo becom
ing, to Rcglnnld Fordlnnnd St. Clnlr.
So ho cheered up nnd carried his
money to Mr Bryant and naked him
what ho had better do with It. Mr.
Bryant advised putting It In tho bank,
and Jehosaphat did bo.
That winter tho teacher talked to
Jehosaphat about Homctlme going to
college. The moro he thought of It the
better lie liked the Idea. It would
take up the time till ho wns twenty
one, nnd then he could afurt'out with a
new namo and a college education.
So, summers, he worked and saved
for this now object.
Before ho took his flnnl examina
tions he had changed his mind nbout
tho new namo ho was to have. Ho de
cided that Reginald Fcrdinnnd St.
Clnir was not Just suited to him, and
ho concluded thnt If the Bryants mado
no objection he would take tho name
of John Bryant.
The yonrs'went by, and Jehosaphat
graduated from college with honors.
It was tho next fall that Mr. Bryant
died, nnd Jehosaphat undertook tho
management of the farm nnd the care
ot Mrs. Bryant and Ada.
After ho was twenty-one he had
thought occasionally ubout changing
his name, but ho kept putting it off, for
one reason and nrtother, nnd nt last
almost forgot about it. Ho began to
think it truo what Judgo Weymouth
bad said.
He began to be known as a progres
sive, hard working young farmer. Ho
provided liberally for Mrs. Bryant's
comfort, and gnve Ada tho musical
education she longed for.
Then, nfter several years, ho spoko
ot his early hopes nnd ambitions, it
was to Ada ho told the story,
"I had really given up all Idea of
changing my name," ho snid, at the
, end of the recltul, "but now you hnvn
made things different) and 1 think it
ought to bo done. It is too much tu
expect you to bear such n name."
"No, it Isn't," sho answered earnest
ly. "Thcro Isn't another nnme I'd in
hnlf so proud of."
Thero was a happy light In Mcytm
as he said: "If that is tho way yoii
feel, I will remain Jehosaplmt Plu'nkot,

broken up finely nnd melted together.
After they nro thoroughly melted, pour
the liquid Into a vcbsoI of cold water.
When the mixture becomes sufficiently
hard it should be pulled or worked un
