The q. w. Bows Sing and Play

The [. w. Glee. Mandolin, and
Banjo Club made their appearance in
Reed opera house last Friday even
ing as advertised. A fair sized audi
ence greeted their appearance. The
program consisted of college songs by
the Glee club of nine voices and in
strumental music by the Mandolin
and Banjo clubs of about a dozen
pieces each.
The entertainment was pleasant
SO many mandolins and banios played
together produced an effect that more
skillful playing on few Instruments
does not equal. The work Of the glee
club was weak; their selections were
interior aud their rendition Of them
decidedly faulty.
The entertainment a whole would
do redit to a village high school but
is hardly what the public expects
from the picked musicians OLGA great
institution like the Wisconsin uniyer-
sity.

what Is Calico

Tie rule TO fine all ladies attending
the calico party this evening who do
not wear calico dresses has given rise
to some spirited discussions on the
question. "What is calico?" The
writer was fortunate to overhear one
Of these discussions and CLEANED the
following choice bundles CT informa-
ton:
Calico is printed cotton muslin;
cambria percale is one kind Of calico
shifting; seersucker long-cloth has a
different body from gingham dimities;
eve ybody knows what calico is; in
England it is different. there sateen
lawn is the same width as calico mus
lin; duck challies arc also printed cot
ton goods and are just as much calico
as silkaline batiste; lawn cheviot
shifting is a calico challie Of differ
ent texture from printed galatea
crepe cheese cloth denims differs
from ordinary calico cretonne piques
chiefly in the clcseness Of the Weave.
This is only a part Of what we heard
and may moi be quite the whole truth
about the matter further Information
can be had when the committee as Sess

who claims to reside in Minneapolis.
struck Lancaster number of days
ago and registered at the Grand Gem
trail hotel. With him was lady. his
wife, who carried about with her a
small lap dog. blanketed McCurdy
hired OF Joe Smith livery team which
he worked eleven days and for which
he agreed to pay two dollars day.
At Cuba City McCurdy put up the
team at VIM. Murray's livery barn
where they remained until their keep
amounted to So, when he refused to
keep them longer and MeCurdy gave
him his overeoat and $50 galloway
robe, which belonged to Smith, tell
ing him to keep them until he sent
him the So. Then McCurdy drove to
Platteville and put up at Fon Moore's.
A gentleman coming from Cuba City
informed Smith at Lancaster that his
robe had been soaked to Murray
for keep of team and Smith telephoned
and asked the Cuba liveryman if it
was SO and Murray answered back
that he did not have the robe in his
possession; whereupon Smith, armed
with warrant, took Billy Decker and
together they went to Platteville. ar
rested McCurdy. brought him to Lam
caster and lodged him in the county
Jail Friday night. The robe was gone
from the buggy and McCurdy insisted
that he had left it with Murray as Sc
curity for So. Later Murray owned
up that it was 50. explaining that his
hired man had taken the robe with
out his knowledge
McCurdy was tried Monday before
Justice Baldwin on the charge OF lar
ceny After bearing the evidence for
the prosecution and motion for dis
missal by Attorney Dan Needham ar
gued on the point of law that it was a
debt for keeping only the team and
not for board of McCurdy. Justice
Baldwin sustained the motion at the
request of District Attorney Lowry
who said that he had been laboring
under the impression that the debt
was for boarding McCurdy. The law
as read seemed plain enough that if
Liveryman Smith wanted TO get his
robe from Liveryman Murray he must
pay the 50. Accordingly Mr.. Smith
settled by paying Mr.. Murray IS,
which satisfied him.
McCurdy broke leaf in the buggy
spring which costs fifty cents TO re-
pair, and thus Mr. Smith was out
$25 80 on the deal Fat little McCur-
dy and his fat little wife and their fat
little dog all executed a fat little dance
of delight when the justice told him
he was free once more to go forth and
wrestle with catarrh and poverty.
Joe Smith shut himself up in the hello
hot house at the rear end Of the res
taurant and tried for two hours to
figure out now it all came about that
he had to buy his own robe from Muir
ray. At last he gave it up and
laughed until he cried We asked
him what he was laughing at be said

Sour

Stomach, sometimes called waterbrash, and burning pain, distress, nausea, dyspepsia, are cured by Hoods Sarsa- parilla. This it accomplishes because with its wonderful power as blood purifier, Hoods Sarsaparilla gently tones and strengthens the stomach and digestive organs, invigorates the liver, creates an appetite, gives refreshing sleep, and raises the health tone. In cases of dyspepsia and indigestion it seems to have "a magic touch."

Oh, that we might in our families and in our churches try the force of kind nessi You can never drive men, women or children into the kingdom of God. A March northeaster will bring out more honeysuokles than fretfulness and scolding will ever bring out Christian grace. wish that in all our religious work we might be saturated with the spirit of kindness. Missing that, we miss great deal of usefulness. There Is no need of coming out before men and laundering to them the law unless at the same time you preach to them the gospel. The world is dying for lack of kindness.
 These young people want it just as much as the old. The old people some- times seem to think they have monop- oly of the rheumatisms, and the neural gias, and the headaches, and the phys ical disorders of the world, but tell you there are no worse heartaches than are felt by some of these young people. Do you know that much of the work is done by the young? Raphael died at 37, Richelieu at 81, Gustavus Adolphus died at 38, Innocent III came to his
 
 mightiest influence at 37, Cortes con- quered Mexico at 80, Don John won Lepanto at 25, Grotius was attorney general at 24, and have noticed amid all classes of men that some of the se- verest battles and the toughest work come before 80 Therefore we must have our sermons and our exhortations in prayer meeting all sympathetic with the young. And so with these people farther on in life. What do these doc tors and lawyers and merchants and mechanics care about the distractions of religion2 What they want is help to bear the whimsicalities of patients, the browbeating of legal opponents, the un- fairness of customers, who have plenty of fault finding for every imperfection of handiwork, but no praise for 20 excel fences.
