Prof. Schrciber's talk on art drew
very good audience in Central Music
hall Thursday evening. Some of his
exhibitions were indeed beautiful and
realistic, and his lecture was fraught
with valuable information and evinced
a thorough and comprehensive knoWl-
edge of the works Of the modern mas
terS.
j. S. Ketchum, formerly of Keno
sha, died in Racine Wednesday at the

Eggs are scarce just now, the hens
no longer laying with the t1uency that
they did few months back, and they
appear to have gone out on q protract-
ed strike. What few are obtained are
worth about two cents apiece. The hen
that remains in the business and at
tends strictly to her knitting is apt to
be priced nearly as highly as the goose
of olden times that laid the golden egg,
and it is not likely that the quick
witted husbandman Of today will take
that particular hen out and kill her for
his Sunday dinner.

Among the skaters at Pike Creek
Wednesday was one Of the old timers.
He went out as a sightseer but when he
cot there his memory turned back to a
time long ago when he was boy and
cut pigeon wings and figure Fights on
his Old rockers, and he concluded that
he was just as smooth now as he was
then. He borrowed a pair of skates to
prove it, and the friends to whom he
had told of his ability made up their
mind that he only thought that he
used to be fancy skater, for the boast
ed skill failed to appear. The old
codgers" were inclined to guy him
but the kids" acknowledged that he
still retained some of his youthful cum
ming. 1t is reported to his credit that
he did not fall down, and that he really
skated with more grace than some of
the younger men who were on the ice.
Recently Judge Hastings, of Green
Bay, rendered a decision that property
owners are primarily responsible for
injuries sustained, due to defective
sidewalks fronting their premises.
The decision carries a great deal of
weight and is Of much interest to the
property owners in every city in the
state. Take for instance, our own
city, where defective sidewalks can be
counted by the score on the main thor
oughfares, not taking into considera-
ton the many defective walks that
naturally exist in the outskirts. Every
once in a while some one falls and
breaks a limb and the council is asked
to pay damages. Sometimes they do,
