The following communication came
IN 10 late for publication in CIR last
issue:
Light aud truth will bring prosperity
to our Northen Wisconsin and in order
that we may nave light we must seek
it. To prosper we must have faith in
Him who made every thing that man
might enjoy life while permitted to
stay here. The reason we do not enjoy
ourselves more is easy to understand
when we take into consideration the
strife that is going on among US to
secure as much as possible of these
earthly benefits forgetting the teach
irgs of the All Wise Creator and allow
ing our greed to bring down upon US
His condemnation.
AT the meeting of the tax payers of
Eagle River and vicinity held Monday
evening, Feb 20, it soon became evid-
ent that nearly every one present was
decidedly opposed to allowing the county
board to dispose of the only resources
of the County, thirty eight thousand
dollars worth of tax certificates. A
gentleman from Merrill, H. w.
Wright, one of the heavy tax payers
of this County, expressed himself in
regard to the proposed sale in a man
ner which was heartily seconded by
nearly all present: and he also gave
our officials some very good advice
which they would do well to heed.
He also gave the some and substance of
little talk with Ex-Governor Hoard
in regard to the future of Northern
Wisconsin and every one who knows
any thing about Mr.. Hoard knows that
he is one of the leading agriculturalists
of the state and that his oppinion is OF
valne.
Mr.. Wright intends testing Mr.. Hoards
theory by cleaning up forty acres OF
land near Trout lake this season and
sowing it to clover and if he succeeds
in growing a good crop will cary out
the theory by bringing sheep from the
west to feed and hopes to make some
money in sheep raising while at the
same time improving the soil. There
is another industry that should be
given attention and which can be
made to pay good returns and will help
to develop our country and that is the
raising of potatoes.
We have chance to encourage this
by helping to establish plant here for
the manufacture of kind of potato
food, the protector of which has made
inquiries as TO the chance of building
here. Such ain industry, to my mind
would he step towards helping those
who need help. the farmer, and would
tend to develop Que resources as quick
as anything we could do. We have
great advantage over other locallti ties
and all that is needed is to turn into
the roa6 that leads to honesty and
prosperity.

New Year In Japan.

The Japanese New Year is the chief
fete Of the year. No self respecting
Japanese thinks of working for at least
three days, which he mainly devotes to
the business Of drinking, and every
householder, by a tacit consent, plants
a bamboo grove in front Of his shop or
house and hangs out as many colored
lanterns as he can conveniently dis
pose.
The last night of the old year no
Japanese goes to bed. The shops and
theaters are kept open most OF the
night, and the most popular shops are
those which sell battledoors and shut
tlecocks, for shuttlecock is the great
New Year game In Japan. For at
least three days it is played by every
one-staid fathers of families, old
women without a remaining tooth
girls, young men and schoolboys The
whole thing strikes western barba
rian Us extremely childish.
To do the Japanese justice, how
ever, 1t is only once year that they
descend to these frivolities. Generally
speaking, they have adopted the NOR
vigorous games OF the west, and Japa
nese regattas, race meetings, bicycl'
races and athletic sports bear frequen
| witness to the fact that the youth o
the nation has . muscular ideal befor'

A RAILWAY NAIL CLERK
By OY WARMAN.


copyright, 1892 by Cy warmnn.]
Railway mail clerks are not railway
employees, although they are under the
orders of the railway officials when on
the road They are, as class,
bright lot of men. They bring more
brains and acquired skill into their
work than any class of the govern
ment employees, 10 proportion to the
amount Of money they draw. They
ride the fastest trains in the country,
and ride ahead. On most roads their
car Is coupled to the locomotive and
they take whatever is left when the
grim reaper has finished with the en-
ginemen.
Reliable statistics show that the
mortality among railway mail clerks
through railroad accidents is greater
than that among the troops in the civil
war. These clerks are required to
pass an examination at rating of
more than 90 per cent. Department
employees at Washington are given 80
days. vacation each year, but the rail-
way mail clerk is called upon to face
the dangers of midnight rides II
months in the year. | knew one mail
clerk intimately and found him one of
the most interesting characters | ever
met The story of his eventful life
would be interesting at any time, and
ought to be especially apropos here as
an illustration of the character of the
average railway mail clerk and of the
dangers through which he passes.
The farms in Illinois upon which we
were reared were not far apart, but
'Doc," who lived with his uncle, left
home before he was 81 and went west.
/ had been in town to get the pillow
sharpened and on my way home I saw
Doc climbing across a clOddy field
behind a harrow, and he hailed me
When he came out he hung his chin
over the top of the fence and said: "I'm
goin west. Will you jine me?'

Then It was he began to tell me some |
of his experiences in the postal car,
but he did not tell them all. He was
as modest as he was honest and would
not tell me, his friend, the real tales
of heroism in which he was himself
the hero He told enough, however to
cause me to find out more, and learn
ed that his loyalty, bravery and devo-
ton to duty had been warmly com
mended in autograph letters from the
highest officials in the mail service.
1t was, indeed hard luck that
brought him promotion and an easy
place. One night, when the train came
roaring down the canyon, the engine
jumped the track, the mail car went to
pieces against the locomotive, the
coaches piled upon the pieces, and the
wreck began to burn. When the train
men and passengers came forward to
look for "the fellows up ahead they
saw large and small envelopes sailing
out of the burning debris, and they
knew at once that the mail agent must
be fast in the wreck. The whistle
valve had been forced open, and now
the wild, ceaseless cry of the wounded
| engine drowned all other sounds and
| made it impossible for the men to hear
the cries of the imprisoned postal
| clerk All this he knew, and while
the hungry flames were eating their
way to where he lay he pulled the reg
| lister bag to him and began to shy the
valuable mail out into the sagebrush.
When the steam was exhausted and
the cry of the engine had hushed, there
came no sound from the enginemen,
| for their voices were huShed in death.
Above the sound of the cracking
flames they could hear Doc calling to
them from his place below the wreck,
and the brave train crew worked des-
perately right in the very face of the
fire to rescue the unfortunate.
Gradually the voice of the prisoner
grew fainter and fainter, and before
the rescuers reached him it hushed en-
tirely.
At last, just as they were about to
give him up, as he was now appar-
emily dead, they succeeded in dragging
Doc from the wreck, and to the joy OF
all he soon revived. He was yet alive
but had breathed so much Of the
flames that his left lung was almos
ruined, and he was never able to re
sumo his place on the road.
1t was this unfortunate wreck an(
the story of his heroism that gave hin
the important position of assistan
clerk Of the western division of tn
United States mail service when h
was not yet so years old. 1t was tn
burn in his breast that made hin
cough and beat his left lung tina
l pinched hiA face aud made his eye
z look larger than they were. He wen
l on silently, almost cheerfully, doin
what he could, but we who watches
u knew that the hidden scar he ha'
: there was wearing his life away.
Not long ago l returned to Denver
and, meeting the chief clerk in tn
I street, asked him about Doc. 1 ha
= been wandering over the face Of tn
l. earth for nearly two years, and nov
as my friend looked at me his fac
y took on a sadder shade, and he answer

THE DRUMMER FOR 1900.

The briskest drummer ON the road
Has come to town today.
Upon his back he bears load.
Come. look at his display.
Here. maiden. is an honest heart
Tush! No coQuettish wiles!
It's pierced by Cupid's choicest dart.
The price is-winning smiles.
Here. youth. are honor. glory. fame
And all that you desire,
The price, Ito every one the same
Toll and ambitions fire.
Here, statesman, is the prize you crave.
A chance to rule and guide,
The price is-toiling like a slave
And trampling on your pride.
Here poet. is your wreath of bays.
That's bought with tears and pain;
Here, painter. bought by weary days,
The honor you would gain.
Here's happiness. to some a gift.
To others past all price;
Here clouds OF grief that show no rift.
Then scatter In a trice.
But, though both griefs and joys are dear.
There's much he gives away,
And yet for all you get l fear
You'll sadly overpay.
Most whimsical of "gripsack knights"
He tumbles down his wares
And laughs to see his choice delights
| Overwhelmed. by foolish cares.
But who can blame this youth sublime?
No rivalry he fears
He travels for the house Of Time.
The youngest of its years.
So welcome him with pomp and pride!
Come. make joyous din!
| Throw both your doors and windows wide
And let the New Year in.

Why is Newlands entirely oblivious to
the fact hat the pledge related to the
election of Senator, and not to the cleo
ton of members of the Legislature? Be-
cause Coffin, Jim Dennis, and company
have told him that a pledge to support
Stewart for the United States Senate
terminates before the election of Sena-
tor, and has no reference to the election
of Senator, although it names the cleo
ton of Senator, and no other officer.
