Expansion in Northern Wisconsin.


The wise poor man who bought
a farm on easy payments, or the
wise manufacturer who erected a
factory in Northern Wisconsin few
years ago, when times were not as
prosperous as they are now, are
reaping their reward. Northern
Wisconsin is feeling expansion in
the truesu sense of the word. OPP
portunities have not passed by any
means. There are still thousands OF
acres OF rich hardwood timber lands
awaiting the settler as we'll as the
manufacturers, which can be obtained
at low figures and on easy terms.
Good roads, fine school houses and
other improvements are increasing
and cultivation is progressing. The
plentitude of iron ore, clay, kaolip,
maral and timber lands supplied the
wants of everybody.
Transportation facilities are nm
eA celled. The wisconsin Centeral
Ry., strictly Badger State Road,
,plerces the rich northern portion of
the state, Offering excellent transit
service to the markets of the world

N~.~'~.~.~:

Chef of police Charles Drummer
says that there is one feature in con-
nection with Sunday base ball games
that must cease, and that no footing
of tin horns will be permitted on the
grounds here on Sundays. Just
why some people should find it nee
essary or desirable to blow tin
horns and make unearthlv noises is
something that only base ball cranks
know The tin horn accompaniment
for base ball games, however, must
cease.
Queer things happen in newspaper
offices, bat here is little story that
takes the bread box.
Five years ago q man subscribed
for THE TINES. He "would pay next
month. Of course we were after
business and new subscribers as the
paper had not been running long
and we took chances on the fellow.
But next month never came. A
year rolled by, and then another,
and others followed in succ ession.
The statements we sent were I'M
noticed and unanswered. But when
the account reached $1,000 we began
to insist. After q few letters had
been sent we were surprised one
day to receive a postal card in reply.
It was brief, and to the point-was
neatly written with a nice little
margin about the edge that will fit
nicely into frame that we are hav-
ing made 1t read:

The epistle was signed by his wife.
The husband has perhaps slumbered
for some time meath the sod, as we
notice that the bereaved widow used
a feminine given Enamed between the
'Mrs. and the lamented husbands
name. Her name is Harriet, Hen
rietta, or something of that kind.
! After we had recovered from the
the 'blow that nearly killed father"
we addressed very pretty little
note to the sorrowing widow, and
after few words OF coincidence and
tender sympathy asked if she did
no, think she had had some benefit
from the paper, and if so would she
remit part of the account, and we
would cheerfully send her receipt
IN full "
We were surprised to receive a
reply, but it came after while, and
we haven It hardly recovered. Here
is what it said
Il have been a subscriber to the
Washburn News for ten years, and
still take that paper, and have never
read your paper, SO could not have
received any benefit from it. If you
send your paper you will only have
your trouble for your pay"

$50 cash(?) We rolled in ham
mock, and called for ice. We we're
glad she liked our contemporary,
but wondered long what kind of a
racket she gave him. The ex-
perience was one of the dishearten-
ing ones connected with trying to
collect old subscription bills, and we
enter tanned the cruel hope that if we
had any other such family on our
list that the husband would hot be
five years in dying; and we suppose
we might just as well mark off the
account as that woman's husband
will likely be long time dead-if he
knows when he is in luck.
A well-known lumber shower got
excused from the jury to gamble for
more or less than jury pay, and as
yet he is gambling for the first dol
lar to come along with the first boat.
Twelve dollars week for jury pay
looked rather small but our friend
is still watching the horizon for lum-
Der boats.

today, who was slightly lover the

AS the fellow got near the jail he be-
came musical, and in jolly tones be-
gan singing "Three Cheers for the
Red, White and Blue" It is not

WHO STAREO LlNCOLN2

"Who stabbed Lincoln?" asks Am
brose Bierce, in an editorial in
Hearst's New York Journal. That is
a remarkable utterance to appear so
conspicuously in the principal Bryan
organ. The essence of it appears in its
concluding paragraph, which we quote
in full, because it tells it's own story:
But have wondered from my pur.
pose, which was to warn the Demo-
Gratis to stop quoting Abraham Lin
coin; it is something in the nature of
effrontery. 1t reminds me of the me-
diaeval princess who went in tears to
the village notary (who had mastered
the mystery of writing) and asked him
to compose a tender and passionate
eulogium on her dead lover, the no.
blest of men.
Certainly, madame, assented the
scrivener pocketlng his fee. OF what
did his excellency die?'
1 stabbed him fifty times, she
said"

EMPLOYMENT FOR THE PEOPLE,

No political party can promise en-
ployment to every man who wants
work all the time and everywhere, but
the more general the demand for labor
the greater chance there is for the
wage-earners, and the better the pay
they are likely to get A contrast be-
tween the Mckinley administration in
this respect, and the last Democratic
term just before it, should be so strong
that no man whost time is his income
will permit any self-appointed leaders
or manipulators to betray him into
running himself to redress the sup
posed grievances of others. The only
sensible way for labor to help labor is
to make labor in demand, because then
its reasonable requests can not be re-
fused, and fair wages can not be de-
MED. Labor under Mckinley has had
far greater employment and at better
wages than it did or can have under
the Democratic free trade and free sill
yer that Bryan is pledged to bring
back. The best that Bryan promises
Is no better, and it will be far worse.
judging from the distress under DEM
ocratic rule. Why, then, vote for hard
times under Bryan, instead of good
times under Mckinley?

Havana Milk.

"You buy milk in Havana at the
dairy" said a returned traveller yes
teIday to his host, as the two were
taking dairy luncheon in downtown
restaurant.
We'll" queried the host, as he
soaked a shredded wheat biscuit in
the white fluid, meditatively, isn't
that rather inconvenient?"
"Inconvenient? Why, no" answer
ed the guest, punctuating his words
by chopping several large slices of
milk toast with his spoon. you don't
go to the dairy-it comes to you"
"Impossible!" interrupted the other
mot only possible, but fact" re-
sumed the traveller. The milkman
drives his COWS around to your front
door in the morning and takes what
an Oklahoma real estate operator
would call a squat claim on the side
walk. Having thus adjusted his stool
beside one of his herd he begins to fill
your Oruer.
when your can is full the herdsman
blows horn, and drives on to the
door of his next customer. You see
by this plan you can watch the milk
being drawn and be assured that it Is
not adulterated. That is the chief vir-
tue of this custom"
what does Havana milk taste
like?" interrupted the host.
"Why, it is a capital production fol
the first ten minutes after it is drawn,
answered the traveller. "Then it be,
gins TO turn sour. 1t has to be boiled
before it gets cold, or it's only fit fol
griddle cakes or cottage cheese"
"Well, guess, taking it all around
New York is good enough for me,
replied the host, as he picked up thu
3O-cent check and started toward th'
cashier. Things don't turn sou
quite as quick as that in New York.

FIRST MEETING OF The YEAR
East End Farmers Club Pleasantly Enter
talned by Mr., and Mrs. Bell.

The East End Farmers Club met at
the County Infirmary with Mr.. and
Mrs. j. H. Bell Thursday. This is the
first meeting of the season and while
the year just past has seen much
change in the personnel and relations
of the different members of the club, a
goodly number met with Mr.. and Mrs.
Bell, who entertained their guests in
their usual hospitable manner.
Thirty members of the club enjoyed
the bountiful spread under which the
tables with their abundance of edibles
groaned and almost broke down.
Rev. Mr.. Mccall, of the Valley Bap-
tist church, led the devotional SER
vices.
An excellent musical program in
terspersed with literary selections
helped to while away the afternoon
The grounds of the Infirmary were in
beautiful condition and the trees in the
yard are just taking on their gorgeous
panolpy of the fall.
The occasion was one of such thor
ough enjoyment and the place so en-
inently fitted for the entertainment OF
a large number of guests that the sug-
gestion was jokingly made that the
next meeting be held with Mr.. and
Mrs. Bell The time for the next
meeting has not yet been decided up
on.

Headache for Forty Years.
WI ChaOcha,

WI Chaochu, son of WI Ting Fang,
the Chinese Minister to this country, is
delightful combination of man and
child, and is really a remarkable boy.
But, after all, "boys will be boys" "
whether they are born amid the super
stitions and restraints of the Chinese
Empire or under the liberal protection
of the Stars and Stripes, and Chaochu
is in many was the every day boy,
though in somerespects he differs suffi-
ciently to make him decidedly inter-
esting.
When Minister WI came to America
with his family three years ago and
made his home in Washington, he
placed his son, then eleven years Of
age, in a public school there.
Chaochu's success at school is some
thing he may well be proud of. At
first he was handicapped by a strange
language and customs and surrounded
by unfamiliar things and people, but
he finally succeeded in overcoming
these difficulties, and by unusual en-
ergy and application condensed a four
years course into three, so that he
was able to enter the Western High
School upon its opening in September.
Chaochu has in a high degree that "get
there" quality enormously supposed to
belong exclusively to the American
boy. He is blessed, too, with a keen
sense OF humor and an infectious
laugh that is good to hear. He is Of
sturdy build and his face is character
lied by bright, winning expression
and strong, white teeth. Except for
American shoes, he wears the native
costume. He is an athlete OF no mean
accomplishments. Just now he Is CIV
ing a good deal of time to running his
fathers automobile. During the last
summer he spent several weeks at
Cape May with his mother, and while
there learned to swim. He rides back
and forth to school on his wheel, jokes,
leases, shouts, runs and plays games
with the boys in the neighborhood of
the Chinese Legation. Chaochu says
that he loves American boys, and with
out a blush admits that he loves Am
erican girls, too.
There is a strong spirit of comrade-
ship between Chaochu and his father.
The Minister affords every opportun-
ity for his sons progress and enjoy
ment, and Chaochu exhibits a whole
some respect and warm affection for
his father and for the tiny, pretty
Nine WI, whom he addresses as
Mother" just as American boys do.

M0NEYED MEN
Who Are Willing to Risk Their Judgment on
Election Results.
