jubilee and were appearantly as well
satisfied SIS those who desired Harrison.
In the evening the Harrison contingent
were st it again. but this time in a more
formal manner. A line of march was
formed. headed by the Cornet Band. with
the Drum Corps in the rear. They
marched around the Court House square
several times, finally bringing up at the
band stand. where several prominent
republicans were called on and made
short speeches. Those who spoke, were:
c.. III. Baxter, Hon. Judge Carter, H..
w. Brown and Cap Lane. All of the
speeches were received with cheers and
loud applause. and the mere mentioning
of the Presidents name, evoked cheer
after cheer. 1t is quite evident that the
Presidents re-nomiuatg.n, has quickened
the pulses of Lancaster republicans,
and inspired them with hope of success
in the county and state elections, as well
as in the national election.
To the forty Lancasterites. who were
numbered with the seven hundred Elk

Conductors Excursion to Devils Lake
Saturday. the trip was one continuous
round of pleasure. The run up to the
Lake afordes rare opportunity to see
the beautiful strip of country, through
which the c. & n. w. line has its course
TO Madison and Baraboo. Notwithstand
ing the fact, that Madison, with her
beautiful lakes and picturesque sur
rounding, made deep impression on
the old and young alike. it was entirely
forgotten. practically obliterated from
minds of those incentive to the charms
of nature, when the romantic scenery OF
the Lake af the Devil was before them
to behold. 1t was, indeed, gala-day
for all-the reserved and unreseryed,
courteous and incourteous all seemed to
have lain aside conventionality for the
time being, and had gone in for an en-.
joyable and unrestricted good time.
The Lancaster contingents were among
the leaders in all the pleasure participa
ted in, and not one of them, but added
materially TO the completeness of the
festivities. The excursion train, and
also the conducting of affairs at the
Lake were under the supervision of con-
ductors A. ID. Robins. w. A. Hayes and
W f. Frenzs, of Baraboo, and they
spared no pains in making the trip one
of pleasure for everybody. 1t took eight
passenger coaches to accommodate the
crowd and make it convenient for all.
The train was unavoldably detained on
the run up, making it halt hour late,
but full time was allowed to excursion.

AFTER MANY YEARS.

Saved from Starvation by an Ancient
Poem.
When Madeleine's parents became so
old that they could live no longer, they
died. Soon afterward Madeleine mar
ried Clarence hungerford and went
with him to live in cottage trimmed
with honeysuckle and filled with love
and empty cupboards.
One night about 0.30 p. m. Clarence
and Madeleine crept into opposite cor
ners of their tiny cottage and shivered,
for the wolf was at the door, and every
time he snarled pang of hunger smote
their hearts. A while later a sound to
which they were rarely accustomed
smote their ears. The sound emanated
from the postman's whistle, and Made
leine timidly opened the door, lodged
the wolf and snatched the letter which
the postman held toward her Fearing
lest it be an increased demand for rent,
Madeleine by herculean effort forebore
opening the envelope for several hours
but the time came when she literally
forced herself to examine the packet.
Turning it over Madeleine saw that the
letter was addressed to her father, and
that it had been redirected to her She
hurriedly opened it and check dropped
into her lap, as did also note composed
of words to the following effect:
Please accept inclosed check in payment fer
your poem. which appears in the current issue
of our magazine. Publication is often delayed
in order that may give the press of similar
material on hand chance to be seen and ap.
preciated. Yours, etc, THE EDITOR.
''It is the check for fathers poem
which he used to tell me about when ]
was child" cried Madeleine joyfully;
then Clarence and she retired sadly, for
they could not cash the check at 8 p. ln..
nor could they eat it. When the a. In.
dawned, however, they exchanged the
check for lucre, and that night when
the wolf returned to their door they
chased him around to the back yard, and
set before him such feast that he over
ate and died.
"Clarence," said Madeleine, "you
would better write peers it may save
our posterity from starv alton. Alex
