Before Starting on a journey

A person usually desires to gain some
information as the most desirable route
to take, and will purchase tickets via
the one that will afford him the best
and quickest service. Before starting
on trip to Chicago or any point east
you should provide yourself with a map
and time table of the Wisconsin Cen
trail Lines. The trains run on this
route are vestibuled and are equipped
with Pullman's latest Drawing Room
sleepers, elegant day coaches and Din
ing cars of latest design, built express
ly for this service, and are exquisite in
Furnishings and convenient and COM
Portable in arrangement and so COM
plete in every detail that they have no
superior in comfort and elegance. The
dining car service is pronounced by all
the most elegant ever inaugurated and

POPULAR TALKS ON LAW.

THE GROWTH OF AMERICAN LAW.
To obtain an adequate idea of the
law OF any country, one must travel to
it's sources and follow its growth from
it's very beginning. Let US pursue this
method in few studies on the growth
of our law In the first place the seeds
Of American jurisprudence were trans
planted from the old world. The navi-
gators, explorers, missionaries, reform
ers, goldseekers Of the very earliest
days, brought to our shores along with
their intense desire for conquest, for
individual gain, for the glory of their
soverigns, and for religious freedom,
the customs and laws Of the homes they
left and adopted them.in the new world
so far as they were fitted to their cir
cumstances and their environment.
The English brought with them the
priceless heritage of the common law
of England, and the French and the
Spanish brought the principles and
codes built upon the foundations of the
| civil law-the law Of Rome.
Of the early explorers succeeding
Columbus, there was Juan Ponce de
Leon, who landed in 1913, near st. Au-
gustine, in Florida, in the search of the
Fountain of Youth; in 1920, Spanish
ships touched the coast of Carolina; in
1921 the territory now known as Texas
New Mexico and California became a
part OF a great province attached to
Spain by the conquest of her great ex-
plorer, Cortez. De Soto, another Span
lard, led party from Florida across
the country to the Mississippi in 1912.
In l5S45 Sir Walter Raleigh sent two
expeditions to North Carolina. A
Spanish settlement was made at St.
Augustine in 1865. Jamestown, Virgil
mia, became the first English settlement
in 1907. New York, New Netherlands)
in 1913 was settled by the Dutch, and
Plymouth, Massachusetts, by the Eng
lish in 1920. La Selle explored the
Great Lakes and the Mississippiin 1852
and the French established settlements
at Kaskaskia and Arkansas Post in
1855, and Mobile and Vincennes in
l702. Thus England, France and
Spain divided among themselves the
great continent of North America.
Spain got the southern, England the
central and France the northern part.
The discoveries thus made vested the
new laws in the sovereign. His title
was that by discovery grounded on the
three following ideas: The christian
nation that discovers heather land
owns it to the exclusion of all other
christian nations. This nation to COM
plete its title must within reasonable
time occupy and use this land. The
native inhabitants are only the occu-
pants of the land and not it's owners.
For more than one hundred years
from the discovery by Columbus no set
Element deserving more than passing
mention was made in the new world by
the English. Many and feeble attempts
were made, fearful hardships suffered,
heroic efforts put forth, but in vain.
Raleigh's and brakes efforts were IN
successful. The Spanish settlements
were more successful, for clear rea-
son. Spain looked upon her explora-

Tale of 2 Watermelon.

Next, comes James A. Norris, with
report of big watermelon received on
Saturday from his brother-in-law in
Alabama. "Jim" says it measured four
feet in circumference and he cut it for
Sunday dinner; that his family of nine
persons had all they could eat and after
dinner he called in passers-by to par
take Of it; that thirty persons, includ-
ing children, partook of the melon,
having all they could eat, in each case
and then a large piece was sent to the
depot for the operator, and after all
these had Toasted to their hearts con-
tent there was still a large piece Of it
left Monday morning. They grow large
melons in Alabama, and if Little Falls
undertakes to beat this we will have
"Jim's" own brother send the next
one, as this was sent by brother-in-
law.
Since the above was in type in regard
to Norris big watermelon, he says that
his wife has made large jar of pickles
of what was left of the melon after the
thirty had eaten their fill. Whew!
how hot it is.-Sauk Center Mi411a.) Ay0-

FOOD AND DAIRY COMM SSION.
Two Essentials for a Baking Powder
That Will Make Perfect Bread.

Two Essentials for a Baking Powder
That Will Make Perfect Bread.
The late report of the Minnesota
State Food ana Dairy commission con-
tains the result of series of expert
ments made by Prof. G.. W. Drew, state
chemist, TO determine the strength and
keeping qualities of the various baking
powders.
The report attaches great importance
to these experiments. Baking pow
ders that vary in strength, or that read
lily lose strength before use, are unre-
liable and will not give even results;
besides, it is an indication of the use Of
improper ingredients in their COM
pounding. The tests showed the
strength or leavening power of the
Royal very much greater than that of
the others. The uniformity of strength
of all the samples of Royal tested, no
matter what their age, was remarkable.
It's leavening power was practically I'M
! impaired even in the oldest specimens.
The difference in the amount of leav-
ening gas in different samples of the
other brands was so great as to serious
ly impair their usefulness in baking.
AS much as "a per cent. loss was found
in samples few months old. All the
samples of Royal examined by State
Chemist Drew were reported of salts
factory strength and quality.
DIR. Drew states that the Royal being
Of greater strength than any other, and
possessing better keeping qualities, it
is the natural conclusion that it is the
best baking powder made.

driving horse and carriage, was run
away with, the horse taking fright at
the west end of Milwaukee street
bridge She was thrown out of the car

was dragged some ways before the
horse was stopped. When taken up
the young lady was found to be badly
injured, her face and body being ter
ribly cut and bruised. She was car
ried into the residence of j. Marsden

as possible, the medical services, mean
while, of DR.. F. G. Werner, having been
procured. While her injuries are con-
sidered quite serious no fatal result
is apprehended, although she had a

Juneau.

The case of James Devlin, Jr., has
created considerable interest in this
locality Of late. Over a month ago the
young man, about 20 years old, fell
from his fathers barn and since then,
so it is claimed, has been unable to
partake of food or drink of any kind,
although he remains as strong and
robust as ever, and has been able to
perform ordinary farm work during all
of the time. Last week he left for Chi
cago, where he was to meet DR.. G. W.
Lueck of this place, who was to take
him to medical college for an exam
nation. By some means they missed
each other, and nothing has been heard
of the young man since. w.
