Deputy Sheriff Harding of Madison,
made a raid on the establishment of
William Howard of Arson, Saturday
last. and seized a two-horse load of beer,
ale, and hard liquors of various kinds.
Howard was brought before a trial JUS
tice and fined 800 on search and seiz-
ure process. He appealed and furnished
sureties In the sum of 5000. The liquors
were libeled. Howard is one of the
most persistent rum sellers In he county
and has suffered more In the way of fines
and Imprisonment than most others, but
still keeps on selling. We are glad TO
see the officers of the law move on him,
and hope they will do 1t again il he does
not let up. Furthermore there are
others that good stiff dose of prohibit
tory law would be likely to have a salu-
tary effect upon.

q WHAT A o N DID.
To Europe Six Times in Twelve
Years and Learned Six Languages

To Europe Six Times in Twelve
Years and Learned Six
A plucky American woman, who be-
gan to support herself at eighteen, has
shown how a poor school teacher can
see Europe to the best advantage in
twelve years. Earning a small salary
in a public school, she has been able
to go to Europe every other year for
a two months holiday.
Her first journey was made to Eng
land and Scotland, and was enjoyed 50
keenly that she planned another one
and saved money for it during the next
two years. The second tour was
through France, Belgium and Holland,
and in order to travel comfortably she
learned French during her leisure
hours.
Returning to her school work she
began to study German, and at the
end of two years was ready for a jour-
ney up the Rhine and to Vienna, and
thence through Dresden and Berlin
to Bremen. With renewed ardor she
plunged into the study of Italian, and
at the end of two years she started
for Rome. She made the round of the
Italian cities, and spent a fortnight in
Switzerland. Two years afterward
she was in Spain, and was able to
speak the language.
During the last year she has made
her sixth journey to Europe. travel
ing through Denmark, Norway and
Sweden to Russia, and spending a

her a fair knowledge Of Swedish and
not only knew the Russian alphabet so
as to read the street signs, but could
make her own bargains with drosky
drivers and go about without a guide.
In the course of twelve years she
has made six Journeys to Europe and
learned to speak six modern Ian
entirely by her earnings as a school
teacher, and has paid every penny Of
her travelling expenses. Starting with
a painstaking study of the language of
The country which she was to visit.
n also preparing herself by a course
OF reading, she has made the best pos
sible use Of her time abroad.
The reward for all this energy and
perseverance has come in her thirtieth
year. Her knowledge of foreign Ian
guages has fitted her for broader work
as a teacher, and she has left the pub
lie schools to take a position as in
structor in French, German and Ital-
Ian in a high school for young women.
There may be higher aims than
those ordinarily involved in foreign
travel. but the persistency Of this
American girl in carrying out her
plans is worthy of praise. 1t is a great
gain in any human life, if it is gov
erned by a definite purpose and keeps
that purpose steadily in mind.
