Lands in Wisconsin

Are now as desirable as any in the mar
ket The lands particularly in the
northern part of Wisconsin, are being
rapidly taken up ny actual settlers.
The most salable are the timber and
meadow lands now ranging in price from
So 90 to 90 per acre. A few months
hence their value will greatly increas-
ed.
For home or for investment no
luckier chance in the West has ever
before been offered. Now is the time to
invest. No better farming lands, exist
anywhere. No greater results can be
obtained anywhere.
Schools and churches abound every.
where. Nearby markets for all farm
products. Wisconsin is one of the ban
ner states of the West.

They Insistsd ON Religious servtces-Op-
posed 60 Instrumental Music.
The sPuritans, with their regard for the
vast Importance of sacred things, insisted
that religious service should enter into the
Observance of the day. A picturesque sim
plicity and a whole souled devoutness lin
ger about the commemoration In the meet
ing house of colonial times. There were
two services a day. Each Of the sermons
was two hours long. and on Thanksgiving
day the preacher was scrupulously consci-
entious In improving the opportunity
which came to him only once a year.
The prayers and the psalms were Of cor
responding length. The church was pro-
vided with square, boxlike pews. The
family sat around the four sides, the chill
dren being placed with their backs TO the
minister. A most important functionary
was the tithing man, who tapped the
heads Of the men who fell asleep during
the sermon with the ball-like end of his
staff of office. The other end had a tuft
of feathers, with which he tickled the
drowsy women. The old time Puritans
were strenuously opposed to the introduce
ton OF instrumental music into the
church service.

preachers, one of whom is immortalized In
history by his utterance "We will now

One ventures the opinich that the at

Thanksgiving day was hardly conducive
to cheerfulness of spirit A historian,
writing of the Sabbath In Puritan New
England, remarks. 1.-THE New England

A tired stomach is very much like a
sprained ankle. If you suffer from any
of the symptoms of dyspepsia, your
stomach is tired. 1t needs Il crutch We
must relieve it of all work for a time,
or until it is restored to its natural
strength. To do this successfully, we
must use a food which is already di-

will aid the digestion of other foods

A Colonial Pudding.

Tickletooth pudding was the name OF
the Thanksgiving pudding of old colonial
days It was only a memory Of the great
progenitor OF that name which the pill
grims had left at home in old England.
There were no 10 pounds of solid fruit, no
30 luscious eggs, rich beef suet, nor was 1t
dampened with choice brandy and home
brewed ale. But 1t was probably moro
easily digested Exchange.

Indian Thanksgiving.

1t is but fitting that in the evolution Of
this truly national holiday the original oc-
cupiers Of the soil should have their part.
1t was about this time each year that the
American Indian was wont to build great
fires In the woods and roast the flesh of the
deer and bear and boil the corn and stew
the pumpkin and make the wellzin ring
with the noise of his feasting, singing and
dancing before the long winter closed
down New York Sun.

From 1859 onward the governors of the
colony and state of Massachusetts, have an
nually proclaimed general holiday in the
fall of the year. The dominant spirit Of
New England was felt In Revolutionary

soldiers there, with the horses and in
structions to halt the column. John and
the captain went forward afoot, pro-
cceding with great caution. They dis
covered the pickets at the spot where
the skirlnish had taken place, and also
that there were now five men on duty.
This was the pivotal point of the whole
surprise. This picket must be captured
at all hazards, and without noise.
The two men, aftcr discovering the
situation, walked rapidly back to where
the column was halted and reported the
facts.
After conference with the colonel it
was agreed that the captain and John
should each take ten men, dismounted,
one squad To work around the hills and
get between the picket and the
camp, the other to come up in front,
and when Johns squad came around the
corner from the direction of the camp. the
other squad were to show themselves,
and it was thought, finding themselves
80 outnumbered, the picket would sur
render without fighting.
The plan worked beautifully. The
picket were startled by eleven we'll
grmed confcderates appearing between
them and the camp as if they had come
mt of the bowels of the earth, and de-
manding instant surrender, and the next
nlomcnt like number made like de-
lnand from the other side.
The soldiers on duty were good men,
but four to one was too much odds and
they surrendered at discretion.
The regiment then moved up to that
point and set Il trap which resulted in
The capture of the relief guard little
later.
They now had q clear road to camp,
and it was dark. Removing all surplus
cquipage, and riding slowly and quietly,
in half an hour they were within one
hundred yards of the camp, which was
1nugly situated on little field of some
twenty acres. with great camp fires
burning brightly in open spaces in front
of the tents.
The colonel made his final disposi-
tions. and gave instructions to take as
many alive as possible, had the bugler
blow charge, and went laundering
down upon the camp.
In all the annals of war, there was
perhaps never a more complete surprise,
which in one way was good as it saved
useless waste of life.
The federals hardly made a pretense
IF rallying and in ten minutes all was
over.
On the federal side, only about ten
were killed, some thirty or more wound
ed and something like five hundred
prisoners The confederates lost one
man killed and five wounded.
The colonel with his usual impetuos-
ity tried to before most man in the rush,
but John clung to 6>se chestnut

not seek it; in times like these it natur-
ally comes to them"
John returned to quarters, awaiting
orders.
The general took Col Ashby into his
inner den, and held an earnest confer
ence with him.
Il sec from these papers that these
men belong 10 an Ohio regiment, which
had supposed 10 be with the command
in my front. Evidently they are quiet
ly dctaching rciuforcements to their
people in West Virginia. Now. could
not you make dash with your rcgi-
ment and cut off these people, and thus
discourage them from cnlarging the cx-
periment?'
The black-bearded cavalryman's eyes
sparlSled.
Il only wait your commands, general,
and am eager for the fray"
The general looked at him sadly, as if
he saw the untimely ending of the
heroic life, but said nothing. After a
few moments thought, as if his mind
was made up: Gen. Lee writes me
that / can retain this courier for the
present, as he would probably not re-
turn in safety, the country becoming
more dangerous daily. You will take
aim as guide and start with the dawn;
! reckon the distance at fifty-fve miles;
by forced marching you might strike
them about dark the second day, as they
are not likely to move until the weather
clears hope that you will be able to
give them a genuine surprise"
Ashby went out joyfully to give the
necessary orders and in few minutes
all was hustle.

JOnN'S SORlSOX.


III the early part of the year Jonn nad
been called TO headquarters as he sup
posed for some risky scouting expedi-
ton, which had been an unpleasantly
frequent duty, and was handed an off
cial-looking envelope which, on being
opened, was found to contain a commits
sion to one John llewson as captain of
cavalry. lie was much overw whelmcd,
being modest youth, but took up the
new responsibilities quietly, and in
Jaclsons famous valley campaign
gained the reputation of being one of
the best young officers in the service.
lie had grown yellow beard, six inches
long, which made him look more than
his age, and his bronzed face with erect
and soldierly carriage made him a no
ticeable-looking man.
One night in June he found himself in
Richmond, having been sent in from the
front on special duty, and finding he
could not get away that night went
around to the hotel to get lodging. Sit
ting in the hotel lobby he saw Lam
vale walk in, accompanied by another
officer. The lobby was crowded and they
did not notice John, and stopped quite
close to him, SO that he could not fail to
catch part of the conversation.
Lanvale was speaking:

fellows who are already half dead
should have all the good places. There
is my respected father-in-law, old Greg
ory, is our colonel. while have to
trudge along as n captain. wish the
old fool would get disabled and | think
/ could get his stars. Men of action

While John had long since made up
his mind that tins was the inevitable re-
suit the actual knowledge that Janet
was lost to him turned him sick at heart
and he went Ia his room like drunken
man. He passed tho night. in an agony
such as only a strong man can suffer
but was ready for duty next morning,
with his mind fully settled that there
was nothing left but to do his duty like
man and to take such desperate
chances as would result in his being
speedily knocked over
Riding up towards the war depart

Gregory and Janet were boarding. They
were both standing in an open window,

Notwithstanding his changed appear

After Johns departure from Texas
the Gregory family settled down to the
usual hum-drrm Of plantation life
Lanvale, crippled by his wound, re-
manned an inmate OF the house for six
weeks, and being on his good behavior
succeeded in completely captivating
Janet. A few weeks after his recovery
he rode up to the house one day and
made a formal request of the colonel
for his daughters hand. The colonel
had been prepared by his wife, who was
cognizant of the situation, and they
had long and anXiously conferred upon
the matter. Neither Col nor Mrs.
Gregory fully trusted Lanvale, but
their daughters happiness seemed
bound up in him; they know nothing
about him of positive character ex-
cept his passionate temper. They were
not mercenary people, and cared little
for his financial standing. The result
of their conference had been reluctant
conclusion to throw no obstacles in the
way.
The colonel met the young man pleas
antly, had long and friendly talk
with him. and got from him promise
that he would make his home with
them, which promise Lanvale was in no
way reluctant to make, as he quickly
saw the solid advantage to accrue to
him from the arrangement. There be-
ing no apparent reason for delay, the
marriage took place in two months.
The young couple took a wedding trip
lnHyrn 70 (,olt-nCtnn 1,n
spending a month or so, and during the
trip Janet received several shocks. but
in her then state of infatuation and
blind fondness the impressions quickly
faded away. sd,
They settled down on the plantation,
Lanvalc oStensibly devoting himself to
his profession in the town, to which he
rode daily, but in reality devoting his
time to gambling, drinking and politics.
In month every negro on the place
hated and feared him for his brutality
and tyranny. And it was not very
long time before Janet knew that she
was tied for life to an exceedingly COM
mon lump of clay. His fine appearance
and SNOWY qualities hid nature thor
oughly coarse, overbcaring and brutal.
Like most women she undertook to
make the best of bad matter and
clung to him with devotion worthy of
a better cause.
III the spring Texas passed the scccs-
Sion ordinance, war broke out and
everything was excitement. Col Greg
ory, notwithstanding the earnest re-
monstrances of his family, accepted u
colonels commission, Lanvale became
a captain in the same regiment and
