Our young friend, Prof. Hawkins, is
.'misfortinit. He took a pair of shoe:
to Dettmar, the Pilot Knob shoemaker
Monday, and ordered an immediate
half soling. The shoemaker promised
to have them fixed up by evening, and,
contrary to the rule of ordinary bust.
ness, kept his promise. But Jesse was
busy and didn't call for his under
standings until Tunsday morning
alas, too late! They had disappeared
from the shop through broken win
dow, during the night, along with lot
of ready-cut soles and other things too
numerous to mention. Which incident
shows that procrastination sometimes
goes partner with the thief who doesn't
confine himself to pilfering fleeing
days and flying hours.

We started last Thursday for Edge
Hill, Mo-, to attend to some business
and expecting to put in a day fishing
in Black river. We expected Mr.. Oesch
to meet US at Middlebrook with his
team. but our letter to him was de-
layed in transmission so that it did not
reach him until Friday evening. The
result was we had to lay over in Mid
dlebrook until Saturday morning, and
Mr.. Oesch drove all Friday night to
meet US. Middlebrook is q rather
lonesome place to loaf in. Its citizens
appear to be we'll fixed and everybody
busy, but one very notable thing about
the town is the absence of children.
There may be few there, but during
our stay of two nights and a day we
we did not see one. Mr.. Brossel, the
butcher, kindly took US out in his bug
gy to Iron Mountain lake in the after
noon. 1t was a pleasant drive and we
enjoyed the scenery. We spent some
time with VIM. Trauernicht, the tailor,
who is whole souled, free hearted
companion, and who has probably the
second best collection in this part of
the state of m: nerals and Indian i'm.
plements. Saturday we rode out with
Mr.. Oesch to his hospitable home, and
Sunday we spent on mule back, riding
over some very rough hills, but view
ing some beautiful scenery. Early
Monday morning we climbed into Mr..
Oesch's spring wagon for the return
trip, reaching Middlebrook by hard
driving in time for the noon train, and
thence home by four o'clock in the
afternoon. We brought home the big
buck we killed down there last NoYem-
Der. 1t is now on exhibition at our
residence. e.-Jeferson Democrat.
