The measles are so prevalent in town
that everybody is getting used to them,
except those who have them, and the
teachers who are troubled lest they will
interfere with their schools.
Miss Mary Gull spent portion of
the Christmas holidays in Chicago with
Miss Josie Carpenter.
Miss Elizabeth Meredith, of Pleasant
Prairie, was the guest of the Misses
Cronk over Sunday.
Mr.. Sax, one of the firm of Leo Sax
& Co., Milwaukee, was canvassing the
town for wool on Friday. He vas
paying AZ cents per pound.
Miss Susie Grants school gave fine
entertainment on Thursday night to a
full house.
Here is something not exactly new
news, an incident of last Christmas,
1880. I heard of it, for the first time,
on New Years eve, and it interested
me; so | take it for granted that it will
interest those readers of the TELE-
GRAPH who have not already been &C
quainted with it. Mr.. Alex. Bailey's
children, six in number, all of whom
had the good fortune to wed in their
palmy days Of youth, and to make a
good settlement in life, were at home
to spend Merry Christmas with their
parents, without thought of the
pleasant surprise awaiting them at
meal time. AS they lifted their plates,
under each plate were five gold eagles,
worth twenty dollars apiece, with out
spread wings, as if ready to fly out
like the six live sparrows in the pie.
The New Years Bower in the Metho-
dist church on New Years eve was
designed and built by Messrs. J. and J.
G. Hartnell, but the difficult and orna-
mental work was artistically done by
some of the ladies. When completed
and frescoed with many handsome, and
some costly presents, it was really a
thing of joy and beauty, and it is
doubtful whether a Christmas Tree
was ever conceived in these parts that
could hold a taper to it. Mr.. E. W.
Sherman and wife and Mr., G.. H. Stock
well and wife presided over the bower.
They received and called off the pres
entS with grace and ease that COM
pletely captivated the admiring crowd.
Three hundred persons took supper,
the supply of good things holding out
to the last. The literary entertainment
was next in order, and was something
like the following: Prayer, by the
Rev. Mr.. Norris; song, Consider the
Lilies" Miss D. A. Browne; recita-
ton, Emma Lunt; Mr.. II. j. Browne
consumed the midnight kerosene in
preparing an able paper which he now
read in his usual easy and natural
style; defamation, Willie Gull; song
by the Misses D. A. and Sarah Browne.
The distributing of presents followed,
after which the Rev. Mr. Norris made
a neat little speech, concluding by wish
ing all Happy New Year. 1t may not
be inappropriate to say that the receipts
were $S4; net proceeds $56.10.

ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS.

Does the Mississippi run up hill? |
suppose that the person who asked this
question was thinking of the depression
of the earth's surface as we approach
the poles, and the great length of the
Mississippi as it flows toward the
equator, but he may rest assured that
neither the Mississippi nor any other
river has an outlet which is higher
than its source.
The Invincible Armada was great
feet consisting of $50 vessels, having
on board 10000 soldiers and 5000 sail
ors, sent out in 1888 by Spain to crush
England. The feet was defeated in
the English Channel byAdmirals Drake
and Howard, when the rest bore away
for the coast of Ireland, where a storm
destroyed almost all that was left Of
what was called "The Invincible."
If the legislature fails to elect y,

OBITUARY.

WING.-Mary Wing was born in Plttstown
Rensselaer, Co., New York. November, 1907, and
| died at her home in Randall, December Is, 1850
She united with the Methodist church in
early life, and lived faithful, earnest work
ing christian. She was always active, of a
kind and gentle disposition, ever ready to
lend helping hand to those in distress. In
telleetually she retained all her faculties TO
the end of life: never childish or fretful,
but always pleasant and cheerful, causing no
one trouble or care. In 1850 she iourneyed
to Kenosha, Wisconsin settled there for a
short time, leaving for home in Randall,
where she joined with the Baptist society,
no Methodist being near. Her bible was
taken every morning, united with family
prayer, which came from the depths Of her
heart for one and for all. Thursday morning

but bending her trembling knees offered her
last prayer to our heavenly Father Satur.

W. F. DeLap at her residence on Tuesday.
A number of friends and neighbors followed
the remains to Mound Prairie Cemetery.
We have tearfully folded her cold white hands,
Lovingly over her breast
We have kissed the pale lips forever more
closed,
And laid her down gently to rest.
We have laid her to rest wthsa void in our hearts
In anguish wept over her tomb
Yet we would not recall her, where earth'S chill
ing winds
Blight the flowers In their loYeliest bloom.
We would not recall her. All, no she has gone
Where life'S surges can trouble no more
10 that beautiful home in the land of the bleSt,
On that beautiful, shining shore.
For we know there's home in our Fathers
house,
A home for us all in the skies;
And we know that the one we have loved SO
we'll,
Has gained that Paradise.
