One of our Suburbs.

Arpin, on the Centralia, Port Edwards
and Northern Railroad, between this
city and Marshtield in the town of
Vesper, is rapidly finding a place among
the important lumber towns Of this
section Of the state
Where two years ago the pine forests
in all their primitive beauty were un-
broken lines of sombey green far as the
eye could reach, stands little village
of no mean pretensions. Its founder
has passed away, but the little village
that bears his name is q monument to
his memory more enduring than sculp-
tured stone or cast Of bronze.
There is sawmill double band,
capacity 50. 600 feet per day, with shingle
and lath mill In connection, all equipped
with modern conveniences. A planning
mill, capacity 10000 feet per day, one
general merchandise store, post office
presided over by Mr.. Will Reeves, a
blacksmith and repairing shop, two
boarding houses, good school house,
fifteen dwelling houses occupied, and
more under course of construction,
some of them worthy of note and that
would be an acquisition to much larger
towns.
The village is supplied with an electric
plant that furnishes clear, brilliant
light. Mr.. Arsin Arpin is the resident
manager. The firm employ 125 men
the year round, more than doubling the
number in the logging season. They
own large number of teams and hire
many more during the winter.
Last seasons output amounted to
100000 feet, principally pine, about
100000 feet of it being in the various
| hardwoods native, among them being
red and white oak of superior quality
birch, Eastwood and maple. They ex-
| pect to greatly exceed the output OF
last year this season, having already
four camps in operation. The logs are
| banked in ponds kept open by means
of a condenser.
The lumber yard is model of con
venience for handling and shipping
1t will hold $4,000 feet in stock. The
lumber is piled and allowed to season
before shipping.
Mr.. d. J. Arpin is president and gen
eral manager of the company. He is
still a young man in years, but from g
long experience in the business with
his father, John Arpin, deceased
coupled with natural business ability
tact and energy, he has won for himself
an enviable reputation.

THE EPISCOPAL MISSION.

At the close of the Episcopal mission
week services in Centralia, two day S
mission was held in Port Edwards with
a pronounced degree Of interest. A
number of persons from the twin cities
attending services there.
On Wednesday and Thursday services
were held in Rudolph, Rev. Father R.
H. Weller assisted by the Curate Rev.
Geo. Shelton Sisters Catherine
and Constance Of the order of the
Sisters of Nativity, gave in the
afternoons instruction in the teachings
and history of the church. This part
of the mission was especially helpful
to those desiring to learn, the infor-
mality and evident desire of the Sisters
to teach inducing the classes with a
spirit of inquiry and teachableness
ings.
The sermons and lectures by the
Rector and Curate were such as the
special need of the occasion required
At Rudolph where the services were
held in the school house the attendance
at the first meeting was upwards of 60
persons; at the last regular service the
building was packed to its utmost
capacity, the Friday services were held
at Dan Rezin's place with exceedingly
gratifying results the people turning
out in large numbers to 'Iearn of Him.
At the two places there were ten
baptisms and large class will be ready
for confirmation at Easter.
We hope in the near future to give a
brief history or the order of The
Sisters of Nativity in which many of
our readers have an interest. Rt.
Rev. c. G. Grafton S. I. D. bishop of
the Fond du Lac Diocese founded the
order and has been emminently instru-
mental in enlarging the territory of the
work. From here the Sisters returned
to Fond du Lac where We understand
there is ''Home" and school conducted
by the Sisterhood. We need not be
sectarian in recognizing the good they
accomplish in their devoted life work,
and any mission that awakens an in
terest in things divine is an upbuilding
of the moral forces that underlie a city s
welfare. 4 Sister remarked while here
| ''if we help TO bring one soul to see the
light we feel richly repaid"
The 7th of Jan'y The Sisters are
| to he IN ST Pau1 10 assist in q mission 10
| be held there.

Hrs. Lyman Abbott Writes of Its Importance
And Its Work.

"The Ladies' Aid Society is an impor-
tant part of church organization, writes
Mrs. Lyman Abbott in the Ladies' Home
Journal, ''and it should not consist of a
few exceptionally devoted or energetic
persons. Every woman who is mem
Der of the church, and large proper
ton, if not all, of the women of the
congregation, should be its efficient
members. Every detail of attack upon
evil, and every detail of work for
strengthening the good, should 'be rep
resented by a committee. Foreign mis-
sions, home missions, hospital missions,
kindergartens, rescue work, working
girls associations, every phase of
Christian philanthropy and religious
activity which can possibly be employed
in the church should have its represen-
tative in this society. All the women
members, and, as far as possible, all
those attending the services of the
large as may be of the objects which it
would be possible for them to consider
as suitable for their work should be
made A chairman Of executive ability
should be elected for each object.
Every woman in the congregation should
be expected to attach herself to one of
these organizations and report to one of
these chairmen. Be it little or much,
she should do something in its interests;
even "shut in'' may send her word of
suggestion, and add her mite of encour-
agement though she have neither silver
nor strength to give. The president of
the society should see that each new
conner in the parish is at once informed
of this plan and invited and even urged
to attach herself to some committee"

1t is our earnest desire to impress up
on the minds Of the public the superb

Wisconsin Central Lines to Milwaukee,
Chicago and all points East and South.
Two fast trains leave St. Paul, Minneap-
oils and Duluth daily, equipped with
Pullman Vestibnled Drawing Room
Sleepers, Dining Cars and Coaches of
the latest design. Its Dining Car Ser
vice is unsurpassed, which accounts, to
great degree, for the popularity of
this line. The Wisconsin Central Lines,

ny THOUGHT.
BY FRANK BlTCHELDER.

l sat by the fire in the cleaning,
My thought wandering then far afeld,
With persons and places, and thoughts of
Life's problems never revealed:
] wondered if when in orr roaming
The paths Of life here and there,
We stumbled, and blundered, and faltered,
There came forgiveness through prayer
Yes surely there must be atonemcnt,
For we cannot work a reform,
The love of a Christ is sufficient
To forgive, and to keep us from harm;
The trying, and failing, and trying.
In spite of the failure and sin,
Is noticed, remembered, and aided,
That in the end loveing may WI.
When at the end of the journey,
We rest in the love that has kept
Us safe from despair and from wandering
All down the long way we have stepped,
May we hear the words of our Saviour,
Il know she hath done what she could"
These things that bring others blessing
And peace that can't be withstood.
A blessing for hearts that grow weary,
With questions of right and of wrong,
And judgment that often goes straying,
Marring thus the sweet notes of the song;
"She hath done, yes, know very often
The thing that she thought she could not,
For this there reward and remembrance
With Christ, and its never forgot.

.FROMFROST TO FLOWERS.

the ''Four Hundred"
ANNUAL OUTING OF THE WISCONSIN AND
DAKOTA PRESS ASSOCIATION.

Wednesday Dec. lst. at 6:45 p. m. we
left Grand Rapids via the c. VI. & St
P r. r. from the Centralia depot to
junction City, thence via the Wis. Cen.
r. r. to Chicago. As the train pulled
out from the Centralia depot, we passed
big loaded sleighs Of lumber and
produce, light sIeighs and cutters with
their merry human loads, trees white
with glistening frost, sparkling with
natures diamonds, and set off by the
somber green of pines, while every
unsightly object was covered with snow
Sin a silence deep and white"
We reached Chicago at 7:15 a. IN.
Thursday. Spent few hours complet-
ing arrangements for our trip, which is
to be the longest and most interesting
in the history Of the Association, then
like two country cousins" we wandered
about the most marvellous city of the
northwest, sightseeing A large num-
Der of delegates visited the worlds fair
buildings, wonderful even in their
incOmpleteness, monuments of modern
architecture. For lack of space we
withhold our description giving it in a
Christmas illustrated supplement.
Leaving Chicago via the celebrated
Monon route, our train consists of four
magnificent sleepers with $50 people:
members of the Wisconsin and Dakota
Press Association, their wives, and lady
friends. Many familiar faces greeted
us, and cordial hand shakes give
promise of the pleasure the next two
weeks holds in renewing old ac-
quaintances and making new ones
"Brother" Geo. n Wood was assigned
berth upper IA, and the writer upper 13
in the elegant sleeper Priest our home
for the time being.
We reached Cincinnati and break
tasted there Friday a. IN. From there
we departed over the Queen and
Crescent route, for Atlanta and
Savannah. 1t took rs through some Of
The most picturesque territory by day
light, and over historic ground. Among
the things of,interest, we will mention
going through % tunnels and over the
second highest bridge in the United
States said to be 2SS it, high. Our train
was stopped in the middle of it to give
the party view of the magnificent
mountain scenery.
Through the blue grass region noted
for beautiful women, stalWart men and
thorough bred horses of which our
limited time deprived us of chance to
Judge for ourselves. Through Kentucky
and Tennessee we were struck by the
appearance Of the houses in contrast to
the northern farmers cozy habitations.
Little cabins, huts, and unpretentious
dwellings were the rule, those consist
ing of more than one room having a
hall with open ends, midway in house.
The mountain scenery is grand and
inspiring. Sometimes the mountains
are above the clouds, sometimes the
tops are clear and the clouds drape the
base in an impenetrable vail. Over
tapping ranges of mountains, blue and
and hazy in their autumnal foliage or
wrapped i'll vail of mist confront US
on all sides. Range and peak and
canyon burst upon our view and fade
away to be succeeded by others as
grand.
