Japan.s Quaint Foxes.

In Japan, with it's quaint, gentle pao-
pie and its quainter, gentler beliefs,
even the foxes are rot the same as
they are in other countries. Here a fox
is a plaything, a creature to be harried
and torn to pieces by dogs for sport.
In Japan it is well to address a fox
by the most honorable titles, to treat
him kindly, place food for him, and be
very glad when he goes. For in Japan
foxes have great power, and it is not
well to offend them. Many are the
tales the little people whisper-whis-
per for fear the foxes will hear n
take offense-about the deeds of mari
the fox. They are popularity supposed
to take up their abode with those
whom they ~fancy-and, alasi also
with those whom they do not fancy.
And sometimes it is hard to decide
which is the happier. For the foxes
must be fed. And as there are always
many in a family, and they do not Wis
it singly, much rice must be consumed
for them. Good luck comes from their
arrival, however, but it is liable to be
oN AASO II ~ oA4N O. any
moment. For the foxes are exceed
ingly sensitive, and a word carelessly
spoken, nay, even a thought
times, will serve to send them off in a
huff, and then all sorts of misfortunes
will follow. When a man is seized
with a fit in Japan they say "He is
afflicted with foxes" or He has made
an nonnou 0f 4ha f0voc 4, A c+or1y So f0Id
of a woma who Kept a little shop
where rice was sold. Every night a
tall woman entered the shop, bought
some rice, laid two coins down upon
the counter and left without saying a
word. The oma would place the
coins in a drawer, and think no more
of them. One day the woman entered
the shop, bought her rice, but as she
turned her back the shopkeeper saw a
long white tail hanging Delow her
dress. She cried out, and the woman
disappeared. Rushing to the drawer
where she had placed her money, she
found some coins and some dried
leaves. Half of the money she had re-
ceived was good; the other half had
been bewitched, and had turned back
to dry leaves. Families not having
foxes are not allowed to marry into
those having them, as when the foxes
attach themselves to a family it in
cludes in its affections all it's members,
even to those most remote. One Of the
most famous families in Japan claims
it's supremacy to be due to the good in
fuences of the foxes who have taken
up their abode in that family.-New
York Herald.

This Horse Is a Groat Jumper.

From the St. Louis Post-Dispatch:
Not many horses trained in steeple-
chasing and ridden by skilled jockeys
could make a clean jump of twenty
one feet. When George King, the cow
boy, started out to round up" a herd
of cattle that was pasturing in the
valleys of the Santa Ana river he in
viteG an Indian, Juan Machado, to ac-
company him and help him in the cat
tie driving. Machado was On the point
of agreeing, when King said joking
ly: We will take u guns along and
we might get a fat bear" Immediate
ly the Indian appeared to be in a state
of abject terror and refused to take
the trip, assuring King that the grizzly
bear always overheard such threats
and that hunters who announced their
object were sure to be eaten up. Laugh
ing at the Indians superstition, King
started on without him. A day or two
afterward he was following a lonely
trail alone. The trail led through a
dense thicket and vas near the border
of q dangerous gulch. Suddenly the
pathway made a sharp curve and dis
closed to the cowboys sight a monster
grizzly gnawing at the quivering flesh
Of a newly killed yearling. Now, Of
all circumstances calculated to excite
a grizzly the interruption of his meal
Is the surest. Therefore when the
mounted cowboy rode almost upon
him he rushed forward with a terrify-
ing growl. The little horse needed no
spurs, but darted onward through the
brush with incredible swiftness, the
angry bear following close behind. In
q moment the horse and rider were on
the edge of the gulch, and there was
no room for turning. King and his
horse both knew that. There was but
one thing to do. King raised the
bride reins, the little horse gathered
her legs beneath her, sailed straight
through the air-and landed safely on
the edge of the opposite bank. The
chasm was t~wenty-one feet across.
And the Indian said: "I told you so.
1 told you the bear would hear you"

The Land of To~psy-Turvey.
In the land OF Topsy-Turvey-
How l wish that / was there!
Where everything is upside down,
And common things are rare;
Where hard works always easy;
Where the night is always day;
Where troubles recreation.
And the grown-up people play;
Where rivers climb the hillside;
Where the skies are clover green;
Where all the hidden things of life
Are clearly to be seen:
Where fairies are The people,
Where the people are the elves;
Where milk comes from the we'll
springs,
And the horses drive themselves;
Where things go by c~cntraries;
Where the homely have goo1 looks;
Where the burglars are all honSst,
And the readers write the books.
All, the land Of Topsy-Iurvey-
IT'S an iridescent dream!
A spot where things are what they're

And never what they seem!

For l rather like their way

Teddy's GRANDMOTHER.

ANNoJ
Teddy had many Of the nice things
of this world, but there was something
he did not have and which he knew he
could not ever have. All of the other
little boys and girls had one, or two,
and poor Teddy felt very bad when he
thought about it, for he thought that it
must be the incest of all things! You
could eve guess, though perhaps you
have one yourself-it vas a Grand
mother! Both of Teddy's grandmoth-
ers had gone to heaven when he vas a
baby-it was one of his grandmothers
who first called him Teddy" Jamie
had a good sweet grandmother and she
would have him and Marjorie to come
and stay with her; and her Teddy
would be very lonesome and sad. He
would say, Il wish | had a grandmoth-
er! If | just had a grandmother to
go and see, and she would send me
tea cakes" JAMES grandmother Of
ten sent Jamie and Marjorie tea-cakes
and maple sugar and apples and other
good things. One day Teddy sat very
still and looked thoughtful; then he
leaned his face against his mothers
cheek and said: Mother, l don't be-
lieve can stand it without a grand
mother" Teddy's mother patted his
head. Il can hardly stand it myself,
Teddy" she said; because she was
my mother, you know, dear" Then
Teddy patted his mother. After a
while he said: Mother, / asked Jamie
if l might have part of his grandmoth-
er, and he said l would have to ask
her. So l want you to write to her for
me-" Teddy's mother said she would,
and she wrote just what Teddy told
her to write: Dear Grandmother
Mallory:
Il know 0 are not my real grand
mother, but haven't got any, and
l wish you would please let me Just
call you grandmother if you can
stand it to have so many %grandchil-
dren. All the boys have grandmothers
except me. Both of my grandmothers
are in heaven and | can't stand it any
longer. | won't bother you q bit if
you will let me call you 'grandmoth-
err | haven't any one to send me tea
cakes and maple sugar. Sometimes
Jamie gives me some of his.
Goodbye, Grandmother,
Your little boy, Teddy"
Teddy's letter was mailed at the
~postoflce, and the next day there was
a package for Master Teddy Warne."
Inside Of the box were tea-cakes and
maple sugar and a letter from dear old
Mrs. Mallory. This was the letter:
My desr little boy:
"You cannot think how pleased l am
to have another nice boy to love Es
and call me grandmother One OF
my little grandsons Is in heaven, and
maybe God is going to let you take his
place. and will be glad to be your
grandmother in the place of those
grandmothers in heaven who love you
still. l want you and jamie to come
tomorrow to spend the day and night
with me. Ask your mamma if you may.
Your loving grandmother,
Janet Mallory"
The next day Jamie and Teddy rode
on the old horse to Grandmother NAL
lory's. jamie rode half of the way
in the red saddle with Teddy behind,
and Teddy rode the last half with
Jamie behind, and they took their
night gowns to stay all night. Mrs.
Mallory kissed Teddy just as she kiss
ed Jamie, and she let Teddy sit on one
side of her at the table, and jamie on
the other. They played in the attic
and waded in the branch" and they

CLOSING SCENES.
Wausau Business University Students
Celebrate the Closing of Their
School Work.-Dance
and Picnic.

The second years work of the Wau-
sau Business University came to close
on Friday, May 18th, and the last week
was one long to be remembered by the
classes of 1900. On Wednesday even
ing an informal dancing party was
gotten up by the students in the Univer-
sity rooms, and large number turned
ont to make the occasion a success.
Geier's orchestra of four pieces, with
piano, rendered excellent music during
the evening, and the floor was well
covered with the happy young people,
who were about to be released from
studies which they had successfully met
and conquered, enabling them to take
an important stand among the bread
winners in the commercial world. The
party was one of the most enjoyable
of its kind ever held in the city, and
since the students have so successfully
shown what they can do in social
way, the Wausau branch of the Toland
schools will hereafter indulge oftener
in social functions
On Friday evening the young people
again came together for a finishing
bicycle run to Rothchilds', where camp
fires were started and toothsome
dainties prepared by the young ladies
were munched with satisfaction, while
conversation held sway and story
telling had its interested listeners.
Stragglers joined the crowd during the
hours of the early evening, some coming
down on wheels and some in buggies,
until total of twenty-four was counted.
The camp fires were allowed no rest
until midnight, when all turned toward
home, leaving the Pickering flames be-
hind them The evening was one 20 be
treasured as a remembrance, and was

REST ROOMS.

Steps have already been taken by the
Ladies' Literary club to establish Rest
Rooms in Wausau, where farmers
wives and others visiting the city may
rest and refresh themselves while their
husbands are transacting business;
place where they may wash and brush
after ten or fifteen mile ride from the
country, and thus make themselves
comfortable for a shopping tour;
place where they may leave the babies
and small children, in care of an at
tendant, that they may sleep and rest
in cradles and on couches provided by
the ladies free of any charge
Marvin 3. Rosenberg first sounded
the note of Rest Rooms in an article
written a few weeks ago. He said
We ought to establish regular week
ly or monthly market, where farmers
can bring their produce, swap horses,
yarns and, other farm commodities
we ought to show little enterprise
and make outsiders think that we like
to have them come and appreciate them
when they do come.
We ought to establish lot of farm.

anthropy, and not single failure in
either club or department program.

French Writers of Today" and Mrs.
Van Vechten read very thoughtful
paper on Citizenship and Patriotism"
The afternoon closed with carefully
worded and concise expression by the
President, Mrs w. c. Dickens, in which
she thanked the club women who had
so Loyalty stood by the administration,
and who were instrumental in crown
ing the clubs efforts with success
during the year She said Were

AN ADJOURNED MEETING.
The Council Discusses Some Interest
ing Subjects.

An adjourned meeting of the city
council was held last evening, at which
there was considerable excited discus
sion, principally in regard to the re-
building of the wagon bridge at the
south end of the Barker & Stewart
island Barker Il Stewart claim that
the city owns the right of way at that
point, and consequently that it should
stand the expense of putting in the new
bridge; although they submitted a
proposition last evening, through their
attorney, g. ID. Jones, agreeing to put
in half, with the understanding that
when the city found that it actually
owned the right of way, the money so
expended should be returned to them.
City Attorney Bump is conducting the
matter for the city, and it seems prob
able that a law suit is spinning its web
about the disputed point Barker &
Stewart evidently intend to see the
matter through, for the longer they
must do without bridge at that point
so long will expense and Inconvenience
continue to them.
Nothing was settled in regard to the
paving of Grand Avenue, but the petit
ton was referred back to the property
owners to see if an amicable adjustment
of the difficulties now pending could
be secured.
In regard to the building of an addi-
ton to the Lincoln school on the west
side, the citizens petition and the COM
munication from the school board were
referred to the finance committee, they
to make a report on the same at the
next regular meeting of the council,
which will occur on June 4th
