AT midnight clamor that might

out;
Hold on there, Slasher! Steady,
Crasher! Whoa, Bonner! Gee there,

Running once more to the WINDOW, in

Being a sensible child, Alice crept
softly back to bed, believing that it
was the proper thing to receive such a
distinguished visitor either while
asleepor pretending to sleep. She heard
bis footsteps as they came nearer and
nearer and at last the redoubtable
Santa himself entered the room. She
fancied he was somewhat tall for the

THE LITTLE ONES PRESENTS.
But Fathers and Mothers Gifts
should BE Plainly Marked.

Elm Morris Kretschmar writes enter
tainingly of THE Christmas Tree in
the Woman's Home Companion, and in
tie course of her article nays:
DO not make the mistake of hanging
gifts on the tree. The tree is from
Santa Claus, the gifts from family and
friends-a distinction which should be
made clear to each little mind. And
label each gift before placing it under
he tree-the proper place for all Christ
mas gifts. Santa Claus is sure 10 be
given credit for anything anonymous.
The writer once received a shock not
easily forgotten. After much shopping,
supplemented by work at home, beau
tiful tree, with numerous gifts beneath,
gladdened the eyes and heart of her
one and only on Christmas morning.
Everything was duly enjoyed through
out the day, but in the twilight two lit
tie arms were slipped about mothers
neck and soft voice asked: Mother,
why is it that everybody gives me pref
ty things on Christmas but you and
father = Aunt Mary. Uncle Edwin,
Eloise, Mamie, all the rest OF the fam
lily, and even my friends-all but just
you? would rather have something
from you than from anyone, even Santa
Claus
Think OF it! After so much effort,
and no explanations possible! Santa
Claus still gets credit for the tree, but
mothers and fathers gifts are plainly
marked.
There are some parents whose con-
sciences are so painfully constructed
that to them the Santa Claus fclion
seems a wicked falsehood not to be en-
couraged. We pity them and lament
their honesty. IL consistent they must
frown upon all that mans imagin ition
has done TO adorn life. TO embellish the
world. AS for Santa Claus, may he rot
be regarded by the Christian as typical
CT the giver of good gifts? And to the
honest nineeteenth-century pagan does
his coming not commemorate the birth
OF the acknowledged highest type of
earthly man? Santa Claus needs no
apologist. He has made lives better
and brighter since his first coming.
do not regard the Christmas tree a
bother even if fatigue and sacrifice
are its price. Remember how rich you
are in having some one in your heart
dnd home who is expecting Santa Claus
And remember the splendid privilege OF
comforting so much happiness."

Proceedings in County Court.

Application made for a writ of
habeas corpus by Herman Budig
against Emma Budig in behalf of Ed
win Budig; writ issued returnable
March a; return to writ made and
traversed by petitioner. At the trial
the testimony disclosed the extreme
youth Of the child, on which ground
the court dismissed the writ and the
custody of the child was granted to
the defendant for the present.
An application was filed for the ex-
animation and commitment to Wiscon-
sin home for feeble-minded of John c..
Williams and Jennie Merrill. Upon
physicians examination and report
they were so committed and the neces-
sary papers transmitted to superintend-
ent of home.
Order entered appointing G. F.
Greenwood trustee of Morella NJ. Far
90 estate; bond approved and letters
of trust issu ed.
Petition for allowance Of final ac-
count and assignment of reside filed in
the Ferd Klemann estate; ordered to
be heard May 3.
Application to change time of hear
ing proofs of Will in the Joseph Griffin
estate made; same granted and hear
ing set for April 20.
Resignation Of William Schultz as
executor Of the Albert Schultz estate
presented and accepted.
Bond of administrator presented and
approved in the Ellen DriscOll estate;
letters of administration issued to
James I. Walsh; time to creditors
limited to September 26; appraisers
appointed.
A complaint was filed by Ernst
Engelmann, of WATERFOWL, against
Eddy Engelmann as being incorrigible,
and the matter came up for hearing
on March 16; but, upon examination
of several witnesses and the court not
being sufficiently advised in the matter,
the case was continued until the 25th
and the boy, at his request, was left in
charge of the sheriff In the mean
time proper application was made to
the court for the examination and
determination of the neglect of such
child, and that he be sent as such to
the state public school at Sparta.
The testimony of the latter hearing
showed clearly that the boy was not
vicious nor incorrigible, but that he
was rather grossly neglected by its
parents. Therefore the complaint was
dismissed and the application to have
him sent to the state public school at
Sparta as neglected child was sus-
tanned.

MULBERGER WINS.
His Appeal in the Cole VIII Matter Sus-
tanned by Judge Bennett.

The position of Alderman Henry
Mulberger in the controversy over
matters pertaining to the administer
ing Of the trust estate of the late John
w. Cole has again been sustained in
the courts. 1t will be remembered
that Mr.. Mulberger, through his at
tOrney, Harlow Pease, appealed from
that portion of Judge Grimm's deci-
sion which allowed some 81, 800 of the
final accounts filed by the executors
and trustees for what was claimed to
be permanent improvements and
expenses Of the homestead sale, the
same to be paid out of the proceeds
of such sale. The appeal was heard
by Judge Bennett at the February
term of the circuit court, and last
week the judge announced by letter
to the interested parties what the i'm
port Of his decision, which is now in
preparation, would be. AS will be
seen from the letter, which is printed
below, the outcome of Mr. Mulber-
gers action is a sweeping victory for
him and his attorney. The letter here
follows:
OFFICE OF THE CLERK,
CIRCUIT COURT FOR Rock COUNTY.
EVANSVILLE, March %, 1898.
Harlow Pease, Esq, Watertown,
Wis.-Dear Sir: In answer to your
inquiry, | will state that | have de-
cided the appeal in the matter of the
estate of John w. Cole, deceased, and
am now writing a very full opinion,
which will soon be completed and
| fled.
| shall allow nothing for repairs or
| improvements, and decide that the
$50, paid to effect the sale of the home
stead, is simply an expense of admin
istering, and also disallow that.
And [ shall order that the $4,000,
proceeds of the sale of the homestead,
be invested in good interest bearing
securities. | have sent a similar an
nouncement of the decision to Mr.
Rogers. Very truly yours,
JOHN r. BENNETT

Both pieces are comic operettas, the

latter in English. The melodies in
both are very pleasing and the situa-
tions highly amusing, atfording many
opportunities for good acting. We
can promise an evening Of rare enjoy
ment. The young ladies of the sCof-
fee Party are very enthusiastic, many
of them appearing for the first time
on the stage. They are having num-
erOus reheaIsals, so that a smooth
performance may be expected. The
characters of Penelope" are in the
hands Of those who have on former
occasions delighted their audiences.
This little operetta offering better OPP
pOrtunities for their talents, will show
them to advantage. No one should
fail to attend this entertainment given
by our local talent.
1t would be difficult, indeed, to find
two little operettas more lively and
humorous. They are brimful of re-
fined fun and will provoke the hearth
est laughter.
After the performance there will be
