While Mineral Point is progressing
finely in many directions there Is one
matter In which she is far behind
the times. We refer to the utter lack Of
any apparatus for extinguishing fires.
While the city has SO far fortunately
escaped disastrous fires, it would be
well to be prepared for an emergency.
An efficient company could doubtless
be organized, and would not require a
great outlay to provide them with

ORIGIN OE READY PRINT.

Il. w. Howe, in an article on coun-
try papers, printed the last lumber
of The Century magazine, appears to
credit A, N. Kellogg with originating
the idea of ready printed sheets. Mr..
Howe says:
"The father of the business was
A. N. Kellogg, whose name is still at
the head of one the two principal
ready print concerns, In 1861 Mr.,
Kellogg was printing u weekly news
paper ut Baraboo, Wis, and his patri-
otto printers having enlisted in the
army he was unable to print his usual
paper, therefore he ordered of the Daily
Journal ut Madison half sheets con
tanning war news to fold with his own
half sheets. He soon saw that the two
pages OF his paper coming from Mad
ison would look better printed on one
side of full sheet, and thus the ready
print idea was established. The Mad
ison Journal received orders for similar
sheets until it printed for thirty differ
ent offices; then the business went to
milwaukee, and Chicago, and finally
all over the country. Eight years
after Mr., Kellogg's venture there were
800 ready printed papers in the coun-
try; today the company bearing his
name prints nearly 1000, and there
are 5000 altogether"
The Democrat dislikes to dispute or
call in question any claim that is
made in favor of n Wisconsin man;
yet for the sake of historical accuracy,
1t desires to state that ready printed
sheets were In use Mt least one
hundred and ninety six years before
such sheets were issued from the
office of The Wisconsin State Journal
Mt Madison. Chambers Cyclopedia of
English Literature, in chapter on
newspapers" says
1.-THE publishers at this
time, 1895 however, seem to have
been sorely puzzled for news to fill
their sheets, small rs they were, and n
few of them got over the difficulty in
very ingenious manner, Thus, The
Flying Post" in 1895, announces that
"if any gentleman has mind to
o6lige his country friend or cores
pendent with this account of public
affairs, he may have it for I'd, of j.
Salisbury, at the Rising Sun in Corn
hill, on a sheet of fine paper, HALF oF
WHICH BEING BLANK, he may thereon
write his own private business or TIN
MATERIAL NEWS or THE DAY" And
again, -" Dawkes News Letter !" -
This Letter will be done up on good
writing paper, and BLANK SPACE LEFT,
that any gentleman may write his
own private affairs"
A. N. Kellogg, however, gave us the
readyprinted sheets as we have them
today; but the idea of their issue and
use is an old one, Verify, there is
nothing new under the SUM-"
