such action on the part OF the Board In
case the Board refused to build the fence,
he said he would fence in the building,
thus closing the school Only members
of the Board were present, and after some
pretty spicy argument, the meeting decld-
ed to take no action until the next meet

pioneer that plOWed its way through
more than two hundred miles of dense
forest in northern Wisconsin, ending
more than twenty years ago at Ash
land, where it looked out upon one Of
the most magnificent harbors in the
world. All along the line of this rail-
road from Chicago to Ashland and
Superior, st. Paul and Portage and
upon its shorter branches there, are
summer resorts which attract many
thousands OF people every year.
Among the better known and more
popular places are Fox Lake, in IIli-
nois, Waukesha, Neenah, Menasha,
Waupaca, Fifield, Ashland, Chippewa
Falls, Hammond and a long list Of
others both in Wisconsin and Illinois.
Without doubt these attractive sum-
mer resorts will be more generally
patrOniZed the coming summer than
they have been at any time during the
past six years, because the times are
now vastly better than they have been
since 1898 and people will feel more
like taking rest, recreating and en-
joying the pleasures that are always
in reach at such resorts. To all such
as contemplate visit to Wisconsin
and Illinois summer resorts we say
keep in mind the Wisconsin Central

About the Size of il,

Here is how one Of our exchanges
has figured it out:
There is a little story going the
rounds regarding the rewards given
soldiers. 1t is said that in battle the
priyates occupy the firing line, the
corporals one yard in the rear, the
sergeantS five yards in rear of cOrpOrals,
lieutenantS twenty-five yards in rear
of sergeants, captains 125 yards in rear
of lieutenants, majors 200 yards in
rear Of captains, colonel 500 yards in
rear of majors, the general 5000 yards
in the rear of the colonel, while the
commanding general is at Washing
ton. d. c. After the battle the com
manding officer gets 90 per cent. of
the glory, brigadier-generaI II, the
colonel !, and the other commissioned
officers get the balance, while the
priyates get talked about on the
Fourth Of July
