A Song.

Sing a song of spring-time
With winter near at hand;
A song of gentle April,
When flowers decked the land.
Sing of glorious summer,
In the midst of snow and rhine;
A merry song was the harvest-sOng
Sung in the years dead prime.
Sing of golden autumn,
Here in the driving rain;
Merrily sing of the tinted leaves:
Sing of the garnered grain.
Sing of the May-mOnth coming,
After the wintry blast,
Sing Of the earth's awakening,
From her long sleep at last

An Unjust Law.

Section 9 of the pharmacy law passed
at the last meeting of the legislature,
bids fair to become a very obnoxious
measure; as Will be seen by the follow
ing letter being sent to all general
dealers throughout the state:
OFFICE OF E. B. HEIMSTREET, Sec. J
JANESv LIE, Wis, Nov. %, '95.
DEAR SIR: If you will read section
9 of the Pharmacy law you will see
that a general dealer cannot sell pat
ent medicines or any medicines unless
they have the formul8 on the bottle
and are made by registered pharma-
cist or physician of Wisconsin. Notice
is now being sent all over the state to
general dealers, and test cases will be
commenced in January, time being
given to those who wish to dispose
of such goods. Yours truly,
E. B. HEIMSTREET,
Sec'y State Board Of Pharmacy.
What harm there can be in any
body's selling old established goods
like Hoods Sarsaparlla and similar
proprietary articles will not at once
appear to the average citizen.

Jacks ROYAL Spree.

"Kipling ought to study Jack, :" said
q naval officer. "Jaok's the most pic
turesque man on land or sea, and no.
body has written about him as he is.
IF could do it as we'll as Kipling,
there is one story I know Of which is as
good as the <Reinoarnation Of Krishna
Mulvaney.'
"When was assistant engineer on
the San Francisco, there was a coal
passer named Tom Delargy under me.
he had been saving up his money for a
long time to cut big splurge when he
was discharged. I think he had about
5000 coming to him.
Jack is royal 'spender, and his
shipmates all told him that he needn It
go farther than the Bowery to have the
most gorgeous spree.
But Delargy wasn't going to be SO
commonplace. He took time to think it
all out, and whenever he got hold of an
American newspaper he studied it. The
way the railroad magnates enjoyed life
struck his fancy.
so when his time was mp and Paw
turned over Delargy's 5000 to him, he
went and chartered a private car and
rode around the country till his money
was gone. Then he came back and re-
enlisted. New York Journal,

POO BAHS OF TRAVEL.
The General Passenger Agents and Thei
Services to the Public.

The General Passenger Agents and Theii
Services to the Public.
General passenger agents know what
It costs to go anywhere remain there
any length of time and come back by an
other route. They are, in short, thePooh
Bahs of the realm of travel. Without
them she average human being with
burning desire to go somewhere would
be as blind man in crowded, unfa-
miliar thoroughfare, as ship without
rudder or a bird Of passage deprived
Of one Of its wings. Think of a world
without the ever present "folder' and
its impartial, never overdrawn claims
of superiority for the line to which it
owes its existence. Life in it would in
deed be without sufficient compensation
The art Of advertising was an unknown
quantity until the general passenger
agent came upon the scene and with his
magic wand transformed dull nothings
into bright, realistic something's. To
him the steepest grade and the sharpest
curve are of little consequence. Grades
and curves and distances that have de-
fed the skill of superior and engineer
disappear before the morning sunlight
Under his manipulation ponds become
lakes, hills grow to be mountains, groves
expand into forests, rills swell into riv-
CTS, and all that has been thought un-
interesting, or worse, suddenly bursts
upon the world as a thing of beauty
and Joy forever"
Seriously the travelling public owes
much, very much, to the general pas
senger agent. Not only has be brought
to notice and to popularity innumerablo
deserving localities that otherwise
would have "blushed unseen,' but he
has made it possible to visit these, as we'll
as others longer and better known, with
an expenditure of time and exertion and
expense insignificant in it's proportions
when compared with that of years gone
by. he is ever watchful of the needs
and whims and eccentricities of travel
ers and quick to provide for their every
requirement. He is an intermediary be
tween the traveller and the railway or
steamship company, ever ready to serve
the interests of both without prejudice
to either and never shrinking from any
proper obligation In the curly days Of
coming and going by rail and steamer
he was not known Now he is one Of
the most important factors III the wi,cle
warp and wool of travel, and for him
the future is full of added powers and
increasing honors -Magazine of Travel.

for the yards he would have to go to one
Of the large banks down town, as he
was on the board which regulated loans
and he had to pass on an application
for loan of 100000

"A Nice Pupil!~

Napoleon was a great soldier, but he
could not spell. His handwriting was
also SO bad as to give rise to the rumor
that he used undecipherable characters
to conceal the fact that he, the master
OF Europe, could not master French Or
typography.
In the early days of the empire a man
Of modest aspect presented himself be-
fore the emperor.
"Who are you?" asked Napoleon.
"Sire, I had the honor at Brienne for
10 months to give writing lessons to

A Surprise Party.

One Of the most complete surprises
ever gwen in Cook county was that CIV
EN- Mr.. and Mrs. Chris. Murphy last Sat-
,urday evening in honor OF the 22nd an
niversary of Mrs. Murphy's birth. Al
though preparations had been going on

of what was to take place until about
nine o'clock that evening, when they
were startled by the sound of music at
their door and Immediately the door was
thrown open and a procession of about
fifty people, lead by a string band,
marched into the house carrying baskets
full of refreshments, also some that the
Baskets wouldn't hold.
The guests were Immediately given
possession of the house, and the furni-
ture soon began to move, to make room
for those who wished to dance.
County Attorney Martin, on behalf of
the doners, in fitting speech presented
Mrs. Murphy with beautiful manicure
set and cake stand which were accepted
with expressions of sincere gratitude.
Mr.. Martin then made neat little
speech in which he congratulated those
present on the feeling of good fellowship
which prevailed among them, and said
that the gathering brought him back to
the pioneer days of Goodhue county,
when, in the early fifties, Lake City was
but hamlet such as Grand Marais is
now. His remarks were received with
hearty applause.
Refreshments we're then served after
(which dancing was resumed.
Those present we're: Mr.. and Mrs.

DANNY FRlEL's ESCAPE.
The story of the Pawned Books and the
Drinker.

Danny Friel the wise, the eloquent, ap
peared in the municipal court yesterday,
charged with receiving stolen goods. The
story developed by the testimony was
that one Marshall S. Long, canavssel
for fruit trees, seeds. etc, in the employ
of N. S. Freeman of Bridgton, nurser-
myan, who is accustomed to have drink
ing spells, got ont of money in this city
last week. during one of these spells, ane
pawned his canvassing outfit, books,
valise, Ct, the property of freeman, at
Danny Friel's.
He boarded with A. S. Hawkins Of
Woodfords and tried to get him to assist
in getting the books out of pawn. IL
this way Freeman discovered the where
abouts of Long and the books The testi-
mony showed that Friel knew that Free
man owned the books, since Long ha6
done the samesthingMthere two years.sagt
and Freeman had redeemed them and
told Friel not to buy them. When ex-
amined by Judge Robinson ON the stand
the astute Danny was so much more So
lictious to plead his own case than tC
answer the judges questions that the
latter had to be quite severe with him.
His statements confiicted with those
of the other witnesses and Judge Rob-
inson said he had no doubt that Danny
was quite aware that Long had no right
to pawn the hooks. But it appeared
that Long certainly intended to redeem
them and had no idea of stealing them,
and therefore Friel was discharged. Will
Der c. Wheldon, ESQ, appeared for him.
Had Long intended to steal the b loks
it would have been a hard case, even for
the crafty and eloquent Danny Friel to
pull out of.
