A CHICAGO firm sent out some agents
to sell groceries through this county
Sugar and articles whose price is well
known and on which profits are light,
were sold below cost. This led the I'M
suspecting farmer to believe that all ar
ticlos sold by the willy agents were "dirt
cheap" and they made heavy purchases
at the agents own figures. They now
claim that the goods were poor, the
weight light and they are badly sold.

TER TUYFEL ist loose, or words to that
effect. A great danger threatens our
social equilibrium. When Treat became
sand lot proprietor by right of discov-
cry, his appetite for land was sharpened
and he made explorations among the
wilderness of Kewaunee county. He
found land there that the government
knew nothing about; land where royal
foot had never trod nor bigot forged a
chain and he sat down on it and became
its master by repeating the mystic words
I'm monarch of all 1 survey, my title
there's none to dispute Treat has
some idea of applying for a patent of
nobility but he is greatly troubled about
q proper title. Joking aside he is about
to become great landed proprietor and
when he is wealthy he will remember
that the PnoT was always good to him.

WE once had silk umbrella, that Is
we borrowed it and forgot the name of
the owner. It was borrowed without
the owners knowledge. We can make
that confession now as we are minus the
umbrella and have nothing that can be
seized. How we loved that silk umbrel-
Ia. We left our sanctum the umbrella in
our hand the flush of youth upon our
cheek, and smile parting our innocent
lips. In one short hour we returned
with the same flush and smile but with
out the umbrella. 1t was stolen by some
wretch who does not fear the Lord.
Now gentle thief, return the umbrella
and receive the thanks of one who had
but that umbrella to shelter him from
the pitiless storm, that is, barring an an
cient hat and 'faded suit of blue" We
shall ask no questions and shall answer
none. We shall let bygones be bygones
dating backward from the last theft OF
the umbrella. If you cannot bring us
the identical umbrella, bring us another
of the same material and we will swear it
is the one We were despoiled of.

MENTION was made some weeks ago of
lawsuit between two parties as to the
ownership of heifer. The case was
decided, and OF the same week an adver-
tisement appeared in the PIIoT, stating
that heifer was taken up by Mani
towoc Rapids farmer. This heifer proves
to be one of the two which bore so close
a resemblance to each other, and the de-
feated ltigant insists that it belongs to
the ''other fellow" The other denies
the soft impeachment. 1t is very sim
gular case.

SOME of the newspapers are discussing
the harvest moon" and framing theories
as to the reason of its being thus desig-
mated The harvest moon is term ap-
piled when the moon rises three or four
consecutive evenings without the usual
interval of time between successive ris
ings. Tho time when the harvest moon
appears differs with ATTITUDES, with us in
Wisconsin, it rules in August. 1t is
caused by the gradual conveyance of
the line of the moons orbit to the plane
of the horizon, the moon moving about
in the same direction as the plane of
the horizon, appears about the same
hour each evening. 1t took the name
because in England it occurs about har-
vest time and when the sun sinks in
the west the moon rises in the east and
seems to prolong the harvest days for
some time.

A WONDERFUL RECORD.

Myriads of so-called ''specifics" and
''cures" for rheumatism have already
been brought before the public, and
many of them have even been endorsed
by the certificates of respectable and
prominent citizens, who have derived
benefit from such preparations. There
is no doubt that great many of these
liniments, oils, etc., so widely advertised
and freely recommended for rheumatism
and painful complaints of similar ma
ture, have genuine merit and will relieve
certain types of the complaints named;
but when rheumatism, neuralgia, and
kindred diseases have become chronic
and threaten serious results, you may
rest assured that they viii help but very
little. Although not recommended as
infallible, the peculiar qualities of st.
Jacobs OF, especially adapted to those
cases which may DO termed chronic and
which have previously withstood all
known specifies as well as the prescrip-
tons of tle best physicians.
We would mention, as an example, tho
case u Mr.. a. Heilman, editor of the
Pittsburgh Republican, who suffered
with rheumatism for two years. After
vainly using all the best recommended
remedies and exhcusting the skill of tho
most experienced physicians without
even temporary relief, it required only
two bottles of st. Jacobs Oil to effect ,
permanent cure. MIR. c. Hanni, we'll
known citizen of Youngstown, Ohio, Sc
cured for his wife, who for twelve years
had been constant sufferer from neu-
ralgia in tho head, the services of the
ablest physicians in the land, but they
were unable to do anything for her; half
bottle of st. Jacobs Oil cured her. Mr..
VIM. Rainhardt, Elmore, Wis, reports
the case of a noighbor who for twenty
four years had suffered SO terribly with
rheumatism that, at times, he could hard
ly move around; few bottles of st.
Jacobs Oil cured him. 'sTo cap the eli
max, however, Mr.. a. Nelger, OF lay
lorvilie, Pa, writes that his mother, who
had been 4 continual sufferer with rheu-
matism for the past thirty years, used
one bottle of st. jacobs Oil and was i'm
mediately relieved of all pain. These
are results which truly deserve to be
brought to public notice; but they are
not exceptions, rs will be seen by the
numerous other certificates from all parts
of the United States. 1t should be the
duty of every one to call the attention of
his suffering friends and neighbors to
this wonderfully efficacious preparation,
especially as the low price of 80 cents
bottle places it within the reach of all
persons, rich and poor.

ROBBED.

DR.. Gridley was robbed of 1913 on
Thursday night while on his way to APP
pleton. He left this city on Thursday
afternoon with horse and buggy in
tending to reach Appleton that night.
He stopped for a short while at Reeds
vile and then went on his way. A few
miles beyond Reedsville he was stopped
by three men one OF whom held his
horse, another presented pistol and in
true bandit style requested the doctor to
hold his hands up, while the third can
vassed the pockets of the victim. Mr..
Gridley was SO taken by surprise that he
offered no resistance, and as the night
was dark he has no clue by which the
men could be identified. He left his
horse at Brillion and proceeded to APP
pleton by rail. He is not anxious to
repeat his experience with the gentlemen
of the road.

THE Evening Wisconsin Of last week
had long article in reference to the
projected railroad through Wisconsin to
the east. 1t very properly ridlcules the
idea of having the line run through nor
thern Michigan, through the Sault, to
Canada and on to Montreal. Manitowoc
is the proper point on the west shore OF
Lake Michigan. A line of steamers
across the lake to Ludington would form
the necessary connecting link. Such q
line would have considerable local trade
and would have the advantage of being
the shortest line to New York or any
other important point on the sea board.
