In an old cnurchyard, near the ancient

DR.. w, II. Earles of Milwaukee, who
was born and reared in Manitowoc coun-
ty, was rambling a few weeks ago
With him were several of his medical
compatriots, who had thrown off the
cares of professional life and were re-
juvenating in this quaint country where
nature with prodigal hand had woven
into curious harmony thousand forms
of vegetation. The doctor and his friends
wandered hither and thither, between
the crumbling monuments of other days
and they were interested in the strange
inscriptions that marked the resting
places of the pioneers. Time with its
whitening breath had obliterated many
of the chiseled words, but there are
some rude cairns which still retain
the poetic effusions Of sentimental be-

A PRESBYTERIAN MINISTER'S
EULOGY OF A GREAT
MIL ANESE CARDINAL,

The Rev. Walter Johnston in speak
ing of society's duty to the yodng said;
ITO teach the young is the grandest
work that man can do. 1t is a great
thing to build house. Macaulay was
fond of saying that cobbler who made
a good pair of shoes did a better service
for the race than all the philosophers
that ever wrote. | stood once in a crypt
in the great cathedral in Milan. before
tomb which was richly adorned with
gold and silver and precious stones. 1t
was the tomb of man who had been
dead 300 years and more. His body had
been embalmed it lay in coffin with
a glass lid. Once every year the chill
dren and people of Milan march in pro-
cession to this cathedral and round the
crypt, singing memorial song for this
man, Carlo, Cardinal Borromeo Three
hundred years ago, when the black
plague visited Milan, and priests and
parents and merchants We're flying to
the hills, and the children were left be-
hind. The cardinal stayed at home and
gathered the children together, $40 of
them, into a Sunday school of which he
became a teacher, and the people could
not let him die, The children whom he
befriended told the story of his love to
the next generation, so it has been
handed down from generation to gener-
alton how the good cardinal loved and
taught the children of Milan. Any boy,
it is said, will look upon you with new
light in his eye when you ask him about
Carlo Borromeo.

CONVENTION CHAIRS
HAVE BEEN COMPLETED AND
SHIPPED TO KANSAS CIT

The Manitowoc Seating company with
remarkable rapidity, has executed an
order for the 10, 900 chairs for the great
convention hall at Kansas City. This

that an order of such magnitude has
been completed in so short a space.
The great works have been kept busy
almost night and day, but Manitowocs s
reputation for doing things speedily and
at the same time well, has been fully
sustained in this particular. The chairs
have all been shipped and are now in
Kansas city.

1t is reported that some assessors in
the county are making mistake in re.
