From an item in the last Marshfeld
Times we see that J. W. DeGroff will
enlarge to a seven column quarto The
local papers of Wood county compare
favorably with those of any other
county in the state of the same popu-
lation.
The Lutheran church society held a
picnic on the 18th of July in Woods
Grove in the second ward which was
largely attended. The German band
furnished the music and an excellent
time was had Refreshments were sold
for the benefit of the society.
Over one hundred and fifty people
left the twin cities on Wednesday to
attend Ringing Bros circus on that
day. The weather was delightful and
the circus frst-class. The Ringing
Bros are popular men and always do
just what they advertise. The parade
was interesting and magnificent and
the Stevens Point streets were crowded.

Rats Steal Eggs


From the Washington Post.
DO you want to see something fun
ny" said q drug clerk to a reporter
last evening" OF course the report
er was not averse to seeing some
thing il the humorous line, and SO
informed the mixers of pills and
powders.
Well il no one comes IN for a mo-
ment 1 will show it TO you, said ne,
placing basket OF eggs ussd in
making egg phosphates, from the top
of the soda fountain to the counter.
''Now stand here and watch the
rats, and the newsman stood where
he could get view. It took but
moments silence and then out pop
ped hoary old rat. soon followed by
three more They seemed to under
stand their part and climbed nimbly
up box about foot higb, used in
covering pipes and from that to the
tray under the counter where the
glasses are washed. Up on top OF
another box they went and then to
the top of the counter They looked
around and then began to scamper
down. The first desc ended to the
floor, the second remained in the
box, the third in the tray, and the
fourth in the high box. Seeing they
were all there, the old rat on top
walked to the eggs and picked up
one, carrying it with his front legs,
walking on his hind feet like squir-
rel. He dropped it over and it was
caught by the rat beneath, who, in
turn gave it to the one beneath him.
This rat jumped down and rolled the
egg under the soda fountain. In
this manner they carried down six
eggs in exactly one minute, when,
thinking the fun was expensive the
clerk drove them away.
''They will steal them by the doz-
en-, if L will let them," said the clerk,
'.and we have to keep them on top
tie fountain. "

The Way to Shake Hands.

81 form my estimate of a man the
moment I shake hands with him,
said A NJ Carter ut the Southern.
of he frankly gives me his whole
hand and with 1t a cordial grip, at
the same time looking mo fully in
the EYES, I would not hesitate to lend
him money Or appeal to him for aid
if was in trouble. Nan who shake
hands il that way usually mean
what they say. They are manly
men, big-hearted, brave, brotherly
and VIII do to bank on, The man
who reaches out his hand rs though
the exerliou worried him. ana let's it
lie in your grasp like the fipper Of n
defunet cat fish, is the kind OF craa-
ture who sets up nights to plot pet
ty treason. The man who shakes
hands with three fingers would steal
from himself If he knew how. When
ever L reach out my hand and find it
has closed on three fshy fingers, /
instinctiyely look to see if my pulse
is safe. The man who grabs your
hand and pumps your arm up and
down as though it was the handle to
hand car is usually welLmoaning
fellow, but is seldom troubled with a
plethora of brains. The ladies also
reveal themselves in the handshake.
There is no danger of mistaking the
shy yet magnetic touch of native
modesty for the icy salute of unfeel-
ing --.formality No woman who
shakes hands as she night touch a
dead mouse ever played much havoc
with masculine hearts. - st. Louis

Confession Before Death.

On Friday last A. S. Baker the
popular Fifth street shoe dealer, re-
ceived letter from the Sing Sing
penitentiary authorities of New York,
stating that noted criminal had re-
Gently died in that institution, but
before the vital spark had fled he
called one of his attendants to his
bedside and remarked: "I.have done
a deed which the world has never
known, and for which 1 have gone
unpunished, and now as l am about
to meet at the Judgment bar, 1 can
not die before revealing the truth of
my crime. Continuing he said
About a year ago l was in Hunting
don. Pa, and walking into Mr.. Bak-
er's shoe store on Fifth street,
helped myself to pair of ladies
shoes. The shoes contained the
price mark which was S1.60, and
gave them to my wife, who wore
them out, aud now 1 request you to
tell my wife to forward to MIR. Bak-
Ell OF Huntingdon, the sum of SLIGO
in payment for the shoes" At the
conclusion of the sentence he closed
his eyes and passed into the dark fu-
ture of eternity.
1t is said that this man was noted
criminal, yet when death stared him
in the face his courage failed and
rather than go before the great bar
OF justice with an unknown crime
hanging over him, he confessed his
guilt. acknowledged his error, and
tried to make peace with God. Thus
endeth the career of another crimi.

About the Banana.

The development of the banana
trade is an illustration of the mar
vels made possible by science through
modern carrying facilities. Only
four years ago a company purchased
thirty five square acres of land in
Dimes, Cuba, then covered with a
dense forest and having only ten in .
hubitants. About half the land has
now been cleared and 5000 acres
planted with bananas. Broad roads
have been laid out, town of $500
inhabitants has been created and
nIne steamers are kept running
throughout the year to carry the
banana product to New York.

The Fountain of Youth

The first Spanish adventurers in
America believed that somewhere in
the unexplored woods of the country
spring of water would be found
which if drank from and bathsd IN,
would remove the intirmities and all
appearances of age and restore the
aged to youth and v.gor. All search
for the fountain failed to find it, but
now a report which is likely story,
comes from Cumberland, Nd, to the
affect that n spring has been discov'
cred on the line of the Norfolk and
Western railroad the waters of which
have all the effects of regeneration. 1t
is said that as soon as the discovery
became known all tho men at work
on the railroad went down to the
spring and we're rejuvenated, and
that under its influence the men are
disposed to sing aud dance. Nearly
all tho people at once fiocked in with
bottles and one old man came with q
forty gallon barrel.

A Colorado stockmap says that no

big q fool MS n sheep. Most animals
can be relied on to aid the owner in
saving their lives, but sheep seem to
set themselves deliberately to work
to kill themselves. II caught
in a storm on the plains they will
drift before the wind and die of cold
and exposure rather than go kun-
drea yards to The windward to ob
tain shelter in their corral. To drive
sheep against the wind is utterly i'm
possible. 1 once lost over oao thou

them to a corral not n hundred fest

more foolish. Ii storm comes up
they all move down wind" until
stopped by the fence. Then they
will climb up over each others backs
until they are heaped up ten feet
high. OF course all those at the bot
tom are smo.hered. Not one has
sense enough 20 seek shelter uudel

would DO.
