A Sisters Influence.

A girl in the house. to my mind, can
WELD wonderful influence. One can
not conceive a more beautiful sight than
the effection of sister for her brother
a sisters love is one of the sweetest
flowers planted by God in the heart Of
girl. 1t is born Of filial sympathy and
confidence, and ripens into a spiritual
love different from any other affection.
Powerful as is the influence of a
mother, there have beeu innumerab
cases where the presence Of a sisters
sweet and tender love or the memory
of SISTERS holy affection have been
the saving grace of a brothers life.
The sisters love in the home often
formulates the brothers estimate of her
sex. A sister can have a softening in
fuence upon a brother where every
thing fails. She raises his opinion of
woman by her actions toward him.

COLONEL NICHOLAS SMITH

Has been engaged to give his popular
lecture, ''Songs of Patriotism," at the
Congregational church in Nekoosa
Wednesday evening, February Goth. 1t
is highly spoken of by the press gener-
ally. The Cedarburg News has the
following:
A large, intelligent and delighted
audience sat two hours IN the Turner
Hall, this city, last Wednesday evening
enjoying one of the most unique, in
structive and touching entertainments
ever given in the city-the entertain
ment given under the w. S. Hancock
Post, 6. a. R. Col. Nicholas Smith be-
gan his famous lecture on the "Songs OF
Patriotism," and handling the subject
in a mastery manner, enthused and
delighted his audience, and kept its
close attention throughout. The col
onel is a fluent, eloquent speaker, and
poured forth his story OF the histories
and influences of the great national
songs of different countries, particular
ly our own, in words and tones of i'm
passioned eloquence, that grew witty,
pathetic and thrilling In turn, and
described scenes in camp, field and
hospital as only an old soldier can. Be-
ginning with the national songs Of the
Old World, the lecturer spoke particl-
larly of the French Marseillaise, and
the German Watch on the Rhine--pay-
ing a glowing tribute to the songs OF
Germany-and coming to our own great
songs-songs that have moved the
world, and have done more for human
ity than any like number Of songs ever
written-spoke feelinglv and patroti-
cally of their origin and influences.
His descriDtions of how the singing of
the Marseillaise had SO very successfully
stOrmed the Malakof, at Sebastopol
the singing of John Browns Body in
the streets of New York, by one of the
first regiments on the way to the seat
of war, had fired the spectators with
patriotism; and the singing of the Bat
tie cry of Freedom had stemmed the
tide of defeat in the battle of the Will
derness, were mas erly outbursts of
eloqueuce. Throughout the lecture is
Il stream Of patriotic utterances, and
should be heard to be understood. II
is Just the lecture for the time, clean,
fresh and patriotic, and should be re-
peated III every town in the land.

sea wall about one half mile in length
to the barracks where Uncle Sam keeps
two companies Of soldiers most of the
time. In walking towards the barracks
upon this wall YOU pass the old slave
market, and the cool, delightful Plaza
upon which is erected two large mOnu-
ments in remembrance of early-day
troubles.
Opposite the barracks is the oldest
house in America. 1t is recorded to
have been built in 1865, from the wood
of a shipwrecked vessel 1t was used
as a stopping place for the Franciscan
Monks as they travelled through the
wilderness striving to turn the native
sun-worshlpers into christians. 1t is
said that these monks occupied this
house until 1890, when it became the
property of d deputy Of the Spanish
government and remained in that fam
ilv until purchased by DR.. G. p. Carver
in 1882. He repaired the old house,
but preserved it in tact, only building
on a round tower in which to preserve
his curiOs and the bric-a-brac he is
constantly gathering from all over the
world. The material used in the con-
struction of the house is similar to that
of which they used in building the
Fort-a mixture of very small sea shells
and cement-called coquina. We had

To-day there are distinctly two st.
Augustines. the old ancient city of
Spanish times and the present modern
city built up largely by Mr.. Flagler and
his interests.
At your arrival in st, Augustine on
leaving the train you are impressed
with the fact that here is a beautiful,
modern city. A drive from the depot
to either of the Flagler hotels increases
that belief and you are delighted With
the magniticence of buildings, grounds
and streets ST. Augustine is rightly
called the ancient city. 1t is the oldest
city on the American continent. In
1865, ten years before Santa Fe, it was
settled by Dom Pedro Menendez. To
one looking for venerable, well pre-
served ruin, the first glimpse of the
town from the depot is disappointing.
In the center of the city around the
wonderful architectural group of st
Augustine hotels is the Almeda, a park
of tropical character. Here is modern
St Augustine. Pass on Gown a few
squares and you come suddenly upon
the gates and the remains of the walls
which once encompassed the original
city. Sharply outlined against the sky
on the east rises Fort Marion, the oldest
fortifcation in the United States, built
three centuries ago at an enormous eN-

Mobile, Alabama, is quaint southern
city. A great commercial city and a
strong rival of New Orleans. Here you
see distinctively displayed the two
generations or rather old Mobile and
the new Mobile The new life is
aggressive, enterprising, money making,
but old Mobile, statelier, slower and
more conservative, is more entertaining.
Mobile is prospering in all that makes
q great city. Coal, lumber, fruit, iron,
are shipped from here in large quanti-
ties. We were surprised TO see the
large number of saw mills and to see
vessels being loaded for all parts of the
civilized world. Mobile has one of the
finest harbors on the gulf coast.

few American rivers that flow north.
We were given boat ride upon this
river and with two bands, vocal music
and good lunch four hours was thus

found large portion of the stores and
business places. Some of the streets
will just permit the passage of vehicles
and some are too narrow 10 be travelled
only on foot The narrowest street is 6
feet and inches wide. Old St. Angus

that some day all our readers will be
able to see the place as we have seen it.

Dor is employed. ;"
In that great truth. so simply stated,
We have the secret of our hard times.
I'VE cannot inspire confidence by ad-
vocating reputation. says McKin-
ley. Yet we know that repudiation is
being advocated. What is the result:
Money is afraid to go to work. Its
owners are afraid to invest it. What
follows? Mckinley says:
Confidence in home industries has
disappeared. "
Men are idle
IF men have no employment they
cannot earn wages.
IF they cannot earn wages they
cannot buy"
''If they cannot buy. the farmers
home market is decreased, and the
loss is felt by both.

read the following in your issue of

The present City Marshal deserves
and will receive due credit for close
attention to the duties of his Office.
Collections of licenses, fines, etc, are
made promptly and as promptly turn
ed over to the Treasurer: street re-
pairs do not hang fire: and arrests are
sure to follow violations of the laws of
the city. The collections of dog taxes
under him have brought more to the
city than ever before-65 dogs having
been tagged this summer"

containing this article was the Iron
