&c Tgaehers AssocLntLon.

On Tuesday morning, July It'll, We
! started southwald on our trip enroutt
| to the Wisconsin Teachers Associa.
ton held at Racine As the entire
trip was new to us, and as we take il
that a number of Pierce county teach
ers have not had opportunities to see
the places of interest, we will essay a
brief description of the leading pla.
| ce5.
The first noted summer resort is
Devils Lake, perhaps SO named on ac-
count of the depth of its water, that
being as yet undetermined. The
calm, placid looking, little lake, the
surrounding towering walls Of naked
rock, the little navy of excursion
boats, the velvet lawns and the Cliff
House, where the excursionists satisfy
the cravings of their returned appe.
titles, make Devils Lake a place OF
exquisite loneliness.
Passing, = BaraboO. Lodi and other
minor ponts,-We reach Madison, hy-
bernating in the absence of its main
sources of activity, the Legislature
and the University students. The
four lakes surrounding the city, the
copitol building and park, and the
university buildings and grounds con-
stitute the attractive features of
Madison. As business centre it is
extremely mild, and as was remarked
by fellow traveller on the train, cit
would never set the world on fire"
On reaching Milwaukee we take a
stop over of few hours and have ann
Pile opportunity of viewing the me-
tropolis. We are struck at first with
the brilliancy of the place-every-
thing seems to sparkle and glsten as
does the household articles of a thrifty
housewife who has good utensils and
prides herself on her neatness in keep
inc them. Milwaukees streets are
wide, and Ter buildings constructed
on the most modern architectural
plans. In fact the useful and beauti-
ful are combined in such an exquisite
manner as to render Milwaukee a
model city for business enterprise and
domestic enioyments. We visited the
churches, some of them taking the
lead in America as to architectural
design. We called ut the law Office of
Flisby and Gibson ard there found our
old Pierce county barrister, f. l.. Gill
son, looking hearty as usual and full
of inquiry as to old friends here. lie
is having an extensive and paying law
practice.
Upon reaching Racine we made our
way by street car to the lluggins
House. which seemed swarming with
educators, among them our friends
President Parker. Prof. Thayer and
Prof. Reyes. After partaking of a
meal and some much needed sleep we
made orr way to the City Hall where
the Association was in session. We
defer the report proper of the Associ-
alton until next week on account Of
space.

PERUNA was the medicine | needed, and

have as much 20 say for the PERUNA as

to bring it back, as priced it very high

There was lump raised on my collar

would have to lance it in 4 few days, but

so put little fly blister on it and it
opened; then put a poultice on and then
salve, and kept the salve on all the time.
