Days of Grace.

The last Legislature abolished "days
of grace" SO called, allowing notes, bills
of exchange, drafts ETC., % run three
days beyond the time rpecined in the
instrument before they could be pro-
tested for non payment.
But while this legislation was in favor
of Banks and money lenders second
section of the Act Chap. 1927 abolishes
the privilege of the money lender to
demand payment on the day preceding
when a note falls due upon Sundays or
Holidays, all such instruments fall due
upon the day after such Sunday or
Holiday. That's one for the people.

Wisconsin Press Association.

John Nagle, president of the associa-
ton, gave this information through his
paper the past week:
1t is probable that the outing of the
Wisconsin Press Association this year
will consist of an excursion to Salt
Lake City. 1t certainly will be the
programme if a sufficient number agree
to 60 and satisfactory arrangements
can be made with the roads. If this
trip can be arranged it will take the
tourist over the Rio Grande & Western
through the grandest scenery in the
United States. The trip will not be a
not be amiss for publishers to place
things in order to take this excursion.

rlOre Nerve Than Others.

The Marshfield News contained the
following item the past week:
Mrs. C. H. Finley, whose home is in
Pittsville, III this county, shot and killed
a monster bear one day last week while
out hunting with her husband. She
showed more nerve than some others
down in that neck of the woods, who
were put to the test recently. And it
all goes to show that one shouldn't Judge
a whole community by the actions of a
few who happen to be temporarily On
top.
Our friends in Pittsville who were in
favor of building the sheriff house and
Jail must appreciate the courtesy(?)
shown them by Adam Paulus, OF the
above paper. He never loses an
opportunity to cast reflections upon
Pittsville' s representative on the county
board.

Bicycle Riding.

The following taken from the Stevens
Point Journal shows q good record:
W. O. Lamoreux and H. C. Welty
returned Tuesday morning over the
Central from a trip to Milwaukee on
their bikes. They left for the Cream
city last Saturday morning at 4:2O
o'clock, arriving at Ripon that evening
The uext morning they proceeded on
their $50 mile ride, arriving al the
Kirby House in Milwaukee at clock
in the afternoon. The distance between
Ripon and Milwaukee via Fond du Lac,
which is 81 miles, was covered in less
than hours not including several stops
that were made on the way. To make
the record an exceptionally good one
Harry added is miles by taking run
out to Whitefsh Bay and on his return
to Milwaukee had covered 100 miles in
just hours actual riding This record
entities him to wear the century bar
and is the first century record ever
made by Stevens Point wheelman.

Compliment For Mr.. Hatteberg.

The following taken from the Marsh
field Times must be pleasing to Mr.. A.
K. Hatteberg:
Mr.. A. K. Hatteberg informs us that
on Wednesday he purchased an interest
in the Grand Rapids furniture factory
and that he has been given the manage
ment of the concern, which he will
assume next week He will move his
family and household goods there at
once. The people of the twin cities are
to be congratulated in securing one of
Marshfeld's best citizens and one who
with his many years of experience in
the manufacture of furniture, is
eminently fitted for the position he will
occupy among them.

Breaking 500 Acres of Land.

James Hiles, of Dexterville, has 4t
teams at work plowing, breaking and
pulverizing 800 acres of marsh land
southeast of the village of Dexterville
which were burned over by forest hres
last year. He is going to SOW it with

Use OF tho TablcclOth.

At very early period Of the worlds
history 1t was customary to spread u
cloth upon tables set aside for refresh.
ments, q practice now prevalent In all
nations where civilization has polished
the manners Of the people. According
to MOnfaucon. the use of the tablecloth
by the Romans began In the time OF the
early emperors. They were made OF
fine linen, generally richly ornamented
with stripes of gold and purple, and fire..
quently painted or worked with gold.
D'Arnay tells us that the use Of table
linen was very rare In England about
the thirteenth century, but another au-
thority informs us that the Anglo-SaX-
Ons dined with clean cloth. A cloth
was laid even for poor man. Du
Cange relates a singular feudal privi-
lege, that of the lord being entitled to
the tablecloth, towel, and SO on, Of the
house where he dined. The tablecloths
made for the use Of the nobility and
gentry were Of great value. One would
cost as much as 800, considerable
sum Of money In those days. The orr
gin Of damask tablecloths Is also very
ancient La BROCHURE thus describes
some used abroad: "They are" he
says, "four feet In diameter, and round,
having strings attached to them, so that
they may be drawn up like a purse.
When they are used they are spread
out, and when the meal is over they are
drawn up, so that all which remains,
even to a crumb, Is preserved"

A Bill for Royalty.

Taxpayers In this country frequently
complain, and Justly, Of the expendi-
ture Of public money for the use Of leg
islators and officials In ways not direct.

as. for instance, when official expendi.
lures are made during which cham
pagnes and other unnecessary articles
are purchased for the travellers con.

cial reason to complain of 'junketing"
In this country, We should contemplate
some Of the public expenditures for the
entertainment Of the crowned junket-
ers Of the old world.

Manchester, England, was opened. The
Queen was invited, though the canal
could have been opened exactly rs well
without her. After the opening, the re.

pcnses Of the opening; and by some
mischance all the items for the enter
tainment Of the royal party were given
In the report.
The whole cost of the Queens visit.
which, by the way, lasted only few
hours, reached the highly respectable
sum Of six thousand and flfty.one
pounds sterling, or about thirty thou.
sand dollars. Among the numerous
items were such expenditures as the
following:
Four fancy boxes Of bonbons. fond.
ants, chocolates, ETC., for the royal chill.
